FOOT AND MOUTH DISEASE IN CATTLE.

We referred last week to the outbreak of foot
and mouth disease in New England, and our
Washington correspondent, in a letter printed on
page 3, gives the details of the Agricultural De-
partments action in the matter. Last weeks
Country Gentleman gives the following descrip-
ton of the disease, which, if not kept within
bounds by rigid regulations, threatens disaster to
the cattle interests of the entire country:
"Foot-and-mouth disease (epizootic aphtha),
does not often kill, though it may practically ruin
the animal affected, but is a greatly dreaded evil,
both on account of the persistence and vitality of
its infection, which may be conveyed even to ami
mails merely passing over a road that has been
traversed by a sick COW, and also because the milk
of such a COW sometimes sets up rapidly fatal
diarrhoea in infants fed upon it. The attack in
cattle begins with a chill, succeeded by fever, and
accompanied by a rough coat, harsh cough, incli-
nation to solitude, tenderness over back, uneasy
movement of the paws and a flow of ropy saliva.
Vesicles form rapidly in the mouth, which burst
and add blood and mucus to the saliva, the poor
beast suffering greatly from the raw and highly
sensitive surface. The feet are not always at
tackled, though sometimes the trouble breaks out
there first. Vesicles appear round the coronet
and between the toes, attended with swelling,
lameness, and much pain, which the animal kicks
and shakes its feet in a vain effort to relieve.
About two weeks after the first symptoms appear,
convalescence begins, In favorable cases, though
every kind of injurymay have been done to the
patient, the full extent of the permanent mischief
often not appearing for months after the attack.
Sheep and swine suffer even more acutely than
cattle. This disease seems to have been first no
ticed in England, about the year 1910, when it pre-
vailed seriously, dying out. however, after a while,
and not reappearing until 1869. It was then car
ried to this country via Canada, and we had a bad
time with it for a couple of years, finally extirpat-
ing the last germ in the early part of 1871. Great
Britain has been less successful, outbreaks here
and there worrying that country occasionally, at
least down to the summer of 1892, at which time
it was claimed by the authorities that the country
was again entirely free of the plague. Millions
of dollars had been spent in the effort to stamp
it out; and millions of dollars may be needed in
the United States before we get through with it.
1t will be money that we cannot afford not to
spend"

Religion, True and False.

Your religion is good if it is vital and active;
if it nourishes in you confidence, hope, love and
a sentiment of the infinite value of existence;
if it is allied with what is best in you against
what is worst, and holds forever before. you the
necessity of becoming a new man; if it makes
you understand that pain is a deliverer: if it
increases your respect for the conscience of
others; if it renders forgiveness more easy, for
tune less arrogant, duty more dear, the beyond
less visionary. IF it does these things it is good,
little matter its name. However rudimentary it
may be, when it fills this office it comes from the
true source, it binds you to man and to God.
But does it perchance serve to make you think
yourself better than others, bubble over texts,
wear sour looks, domineer over others conscience
or give your own over to bondage, stife your
~scruples, follow religious forms for fashion or
gain, do good in the hope of escaping future pun
ishment-oh, then, if you proclaim yourself the
follower of Buddha, Moses, Mahomet, or even
Christ, your religion is northeast separates
you from God and man.-From "The Simple
Life" by Charles Wagner.

and vital moment to the Nation, they should be
exercised in conformity with the principles above
set forth"
For Cuban reciprocity Mr.. Roosevelt makes his
most vigorous plea. While the Sugar Trust came
out victor in its fight with him on this subject
last winter, the opponents of reciprocity have
been made to feel the unpopularity of their ac-
ton, and the President is now confident of the
success of this one of his most cherished schemes.
He says:
"Cuba lies at our doors. and whatever affects
her for good or for i'll affects us also. So much
have our people felt this that in the Platt amend
ment we definitely took the ground that Cuba
must hereafter have closer political relations
with us than with any other power. Thus in a
sense Cuba has become a part of our international
political system. This makes it necessary that
in return she should be given some of the benefits
of becoming part of our economic system. 1t is.
from our own standpoint, a short-sighted and
mischievous policy to fail to recognize this need.
Moreover, it is unworthy of a mighty and gen
erous nation. itself the greatest and most success
full republic in history. to refuse to stretch out a
helping hand to. a young and weak sister repub-
lie Just entering upon it's career of independence.
We should always fearlessly insist upon our rights
in the face of the strong, and we should with
ungrudging hand do our generous duty by the
weak"
AS to the Philippines, the President says:
con July 4th last, on the one hundred and
twenty-sixth anniversary of the Declaration of
our independence peace and amnesty were pro-
m~ulgated in the Philippine Islands. Some trouble
has since from time to time threatened with the
M~ohammedan Moros, but with the late insurrec-
tionary Filipinos the war has entirely ceased.
Civil government has now been introduced. Not
only does each Filipino enjoy such rights to life,
liberty and the pursuit of happiness as he has
never before known during the recorded history
of the islands. but the people, taken as a whole,
now enjoy a measure of self-government greater
than that granted to any other Orientals by any
foreign power, and greater than that enjoyed by
any other Orientals under their own governments,
save the Japanese alone"
Some additional financial legislation is recon-
mended. with the view of encouraging the use
of such instrumentalities as will automatically
supply every legitimate demand of productive
industries and of not only in the
amount, but in the character of circulation; and
of making all kinds of money INTERCHANGEABLE,
and, at the will of the holder. convertible into
the established gold standard"
The President gives a paragraph to the need
of laws restricting undesirable immigration. They
are badly needed.
The organization of a Department of Com
merce, It's head to be a full Cabinet member, is
again urged. It is said that Secretary Cortelyou
be appointed to the position, if it is created.
NJ new information is given regarding the
Isthmian Canal.

HACK DRIVERS AID.
Assist Two Women Away From Home
Without Money.

[From Saturdays Daily.l
A number of Ottumwa hack drivers
did a commendable act yesterday by
raising enough money to send to Cen
terville woman and her daughter
who had arrived in the city without a
cent of money. Yesterday morning
rather poorly dressed but intelligent
appearing woman in company with her
daughter, a girl about fourteen years
of age, arrived on the Rock Island and
passed into the women's waiting room.
Noon came and they were still there
and as far as anyone knows without
anything to eat. Along in the after.
noon Officer Levi Noah's attention was
called to them and upon inquiry he
found that they had left Iowa City the
evening before intending to go to Cen
terville. The railroad fare was more
than they expected and as a result
they landed in the city without any
money and still quite distance from
their destination. There was no one
in the city that they knew and no one
to whom they could apply for assist
ance Upon learning of their condi-
ton Mr.. Noah went outside and ex-
planned to the hack drivers the exact
state Of affairs. A subscription was
started and $3.50 was given by the
hack drivers and Mr.. Noah and the
tickets were bought just in time for
them to get away on the afternoon
train for Centerville.
1t is needless to say that this act of
kindness was appreciated by the wo.
men and it will doubtless be q lonA
time before they forget it.

PRAIRIE CHICKENS.
The Present Month Marks the End of
the Period of Protection,

TIC TSiiS0 VI TtSkVSSiSus
The prairie chicken crop will be
ripe September /, and ducks and geese
may be shot at the same time. The
quail season opens November 1. In
consequence of the approach of the
hunting season, sportsmen are aban-
doning the trout streams and prepar-
ing their shooting equipments for a
few days in the bushes and stubble
fields.
Reports on the game conditions are
beginning to come in from northern
Minnesota and Dakota, and they are
generally favorable, pointing to the
presence of plenty of game of all sorts.
There was unfayorable weather for
chickens in the early summer, many
being washed out by the heavy rains
in June and thousands of young birds
destroyed, but it is not believed that
there was any serious damage, for the
reports received by the railroads from
station agents indicate large chick
en- crop.
The trout season ends with August,
but 1t is expected that next year it
will come to a close. in the northern
part of the state, at any rate, Aug Is.
About that time the trout begins to
spawn, and two-thirds of the fish
caught during the latter part Of Au-
gust are full of eggs. Because of this
condition, petitions have been prepar-
ed for the presentation to the legisla-
ture this winter, asking that the trout
season be shortened.
1t is said that the same conditions
do not apply to the southern part of
the state, and there may be some OPP
position to the change on that account,
but in the northern part, where most
of the trout are, all sportsmen will
support the move.
