AGRICULTURAL DEPARTMENT
HAS ADOPTED NEW PLAN.
TRYING TO ERADICATE PEST
Secretary Wilson Sends Expert Az
rostoIoeist West for Purpose Of
Studying the Weed.

With the powerful aid that the gen.
eral government can give exerted in
two directions, the owners OF herds
anc nochs in the parts of the west
where loco and other poisonous weeds
grow IN quantities sufficient to cause
the annual losses on the range now
attributed to that source should be
hopeful of the future AS has been
repeatedly published, men Of science
connected with the agricultural de-
partment have been busilly engaged
in this state experimenting with
N.ew to the discovery of infallible
remedies for the different kinds OF
poisons that animals absorb while
feeding on the range. While no posi-
tive announcement of success has
been made, sufficient has been given
out by those conducting the expert
ments to make it reasonably certain
that they are on the right track and
definite results may be expected with
in a comparatively short time.
While all past efforts have been in
the direction of discovering remedies
for animals affected, Secretary Wilson
now announces a new departure Ac-
cording to Washington dispatch pub
lished in an eastern newspaper he
has resolved upon a campaign of erad-
ication of the source OF the evil, in
stead of permitting the evil to remain
and seek cures for it's results. On
account of the heavy losses suffered
by cattlemen and sheepmen on the
western ranges he has sent from the
bureau of agrostology, one of the di-
visions of the department of agricul-
ture, one of his best experts to the
west for the purpose OF studying
means for the determination of loco,
lupine and all the other known or
supposedly poisonous plants.
Of all the accepted deadly plants
loco is the most widely distributed
and causes the greatest losses. AS
estimated at Washington Montana
alone annually suffers a loss of over
100000 through the ravages of this
plant, that being the value placed
upon the animals killed each year by
nofinO 1T Add n This ha
from the same cause yearly sustained
in the other western states and it
will be seen that the total must be
appalling. 1t is not to be wondered
that the stockraisers all over the
west are appealing to the secretary
for means to stop the spread Of the
plant.
Everybody throughouts the western
range COUNTRY is familiar with the
plant and knows it's deadly nature
Because of its strong woody roots the
only effective way known so far OF
killing it is to dig it up. But this
is successful at certain times of the
year only. This method of stamping
out the weed is impossible on the
ranges because Of the immense area
covered by them To learn some
equally effective, but speedier way of
eradicating the plant is the special
mission of the expert sent out.
While, as before stated, attention
will be paid to all poisonous plants,
the departments representative will
make a speciality of studying loco.

The Sultan knows that England will
not allow Russia. nor Russia allow
England to drive away the Turks
from Europe and occupy CONSTANT

For forms sake he promises to

THE UNSPEAkABLE TURK

The ~unspeakable Turk is apparently
going to be unmolested again. 1t is
true that the late Macedonian atroci-

 E In February. 1880. the General Assembly passed an enabling act for sovereign convention. Here the responsibilities of the Governor of that time began as never before known. The State was not a rev. oIutionary faction, but rich, and ann bilious and powerful people in time of peril.
 The enabling act instructed the Gov ernor to issue a proclamation fer election of delegates within forty days after the date of said proclamation provided at the ensuing November national election "a President advocating the principles and action of the party in the Northern States& calling itself the Republican Party shall be elected.' 8
