GRAVE OUTLOOK FOR SHEEP.

THE CONDITION Of the sheep indus
i try in some parts Of Utah. Idaho
and eastern Nevada may well cause
alarm among the fockmasters. The
deadly disease known as 0steosarcoma,
or "big head" has made its appear
ance among the animals. and the re-
suit Is that they are dying by hum
dreds. in some cases By thousands
Coming. as it does. on the heels OF a
particularly hard. cold winter. the out
look for the sheepmen IS decidedly dis
couraging.
big head is a malady that. for
tunately, does not make its appearance
very often. AS ITS scientific name in
dicates, It is a lumDy humorous growth
which appears about the head and
neck Of the afflicted animal, spreading
down into the legs and eventually
running into necrosis, with results that
are invariably fatal BY some authOri-
ties the disease is said TO be highly
contagious. while others contend that
it cannot be communicated from one
sheep to another
The safest plan. when the men who
are supposed TO know differ. is to
quarantine the infected bands. The
moment a sheep shows signs Of osteo-
sarcoma it should be segregated from
the rest and kept segregated until
death ends its suffering. We are told
that healthy sheep are not so likely
to be attacked as those that are not
healthy. This is accounted for by the
fact that the disease is an outgrowth
of Impoverished blood.
That accounts for its appearance at
this time. The sheep. except those that
have had specially favored ranges,
have been subjected to many unusual
hardships during the winter just end
ed. The weather has been cold. the
snow has been deep and the ranges
poor. Animals that survived the snow
and the storms. the cold and the lack
OF sustenance, are in no condition to
Withstand the ravages of "big head"
Those attacked by # succumb within
a few hours. The veterinarians who
consider it contag ious would seem to
have the better Of the argument for
the reason that there are few instances
where, unless diligent precautionary
measures were taken, only a small per-
centage Of. the hocks in which the dis
ease gets a foothold die The Herald
would advise sheepmen TO be very care
full
BY diligence now they may be able
to save a fair percentage of their in
vestment. but unless they act prompt
ly they are likely. according to reports,
I to lose all.

WHY HARRY Is POPULAR.

THE SECRET is OUT We who have
i been wondering these many years
why Harry Lehr is such a favorite
among the members of our American
aristocracy know all about it now.
There was a time when most Of us
thought Mr.. Lehrs legs had won him
favor Society writer's told us that
Mr.. Lehr's legs were the most perfect
bit of underpinning ever attached TO
mans body. They were wrong. Mr..
Lehr's winning ways, not his legs, have
given him his high position. In an
account Of the Vanderbilt-Neilson we'd
ding we find this highly interesting
fragment:
CAS- usual, Harry Lehr led in the
registering. While guests were watt
ing on the ferryboat General TO be
transported to WEXFORD, a woman in
the party threw a cane at Mr.. Lehr. 1t
missed him by ten feet, whereupon
Mr. Lehr throwing himself on his
hands and feet, like a well-trained re-
triever. seized it. bounded to the spot
where the cane lay. seized it (the cane,
not the spoD between his teeth and
hobbled back TO the woman, at whose
feet he dropped the cane, all the while
barking like a dog. Roars of laughter
greeted his act, which was repeated
/ several times.
Did you ever hear Of anything so eX-
cruciatingiy funny? Just fawncy Mr.
Lehr acting in such a ridicuIously hi
/ larious manneri No wonder he Is so
admired by the smart set in New York,
Newport and elsewhereI II he had ac-
uany had four legs instead Of only two
/ it is hardly probable that his imita-
ton could have been better; that is, il
you don't care whether or not you
SANDER the genuine dog.
Still, nobody, at least In the haut ton,
/ cares anything about the dogs feel
/ ings. The poor beast cannot enter a
protest at being made monkey of
for the benefit Of the snobbish Lehr
There, now. we don't want TO say any
thing unkind about Harry. even though
we do feel impelled 70 rush TO the de-
Tense Of the dog. Lehr must have
/ spent a good deal OF time preparing for
that act of his, and II 1t pleases him
and his friends we don't suppose the
/ dogs feelings ought to be taken into
/ consideration.
Let us hope that he viii go on. In his
innocent way, carrying sunshine into
I the hearts Of the 400" or the $50" as
/ long as he lives. Goodness knows we
don't begrudge them their diversions.
although we may believe that If Mr.
Lehr would expend the same amount
Of energy in digging a ditch somewhere
that he did and does expend in playing
the canine. the world would be better

The CASE or VAN METER.

THE CASE of Arthur Van Meter is or
i more than ordinary interest to salt
Lakers because Mr.. Van Meter Is a
resident Of this city. but his f2sting
cure and lts apparent success VIII
doubtless attra Il wide attention out
side the city and state For few min
utes more than forty days Mr.. Van Me-
ter ate no food OF any description. he
undertook the fast as a last resort TO
cure an affection Of the liver and
dr0psy.
When he began he was informed that
he might go ahead If he desired. but
the result would be the same in the
end. That is, he would die within a
very brief period Of time The fast
then. was a last resort To the sur
prise Of the patient and those who
know him. a marked Improvement IN
his condition was noted within few
days after he ceased eating. N0twith-
standing the fact that he lost flesh
rapidly. as was natural. his general
health was excellent
After the first few days he expert
enced no sensations of hunger, none Of
the guawing feelings that we are told
torture those who voluntarily or In
voluntarily refrain from eating. For
several weeks Mr. Van Meter cOntin-
ued his fast Strangely enough, until
a few days ago he had no desire for
food and then the desire came inter
mlttently. On Sunday, for the first
time I'm more than forty days. he took
some liquid nourishment.
Apparently he has cured himself OF
his liver and dropsical troubles. 1t is
yet too early TO say what the final
outcome VIII be. Mr.. Van Meter thinks
he win gradually recover his strength
and that with its recovery there VIII
be no recurrence Of his Old maladies.
Whether or not his surmise Is correct
time alone can show. All who have
read of his case viii join in hoping that
he has been cured.
Certainly he deserves to be cured,
The ability TO eat and to enjoy eating
may be counted among LIES greatest
blessings. When a man willingly de-
MES them TO himself, no matter what
the purpose therefor may be, he is en-
titled to- an the benefits that can pos
sIbIy be derived from his self-deniaL
The real truth is that all Of us eat
very much more than there IS any ne
cessity for us TO eat. Human life can
Doe sustained very comfortably on a
half or a fourth Of the amount the
average Individual consumes in a day
More disease. more shattered consu-
buttons and disordered intelIects are
caused through over-eatng than
through almost any other human ex-
cess.
The Herald would not advise Its read
ers % fast forty days. and then some
as did Mr.. van Meter. but it believes
that If everybody would fast for a day
or two once in awhile there would be
fewer dyspepucs.
