According to report from there the
ca1tlemen of the Black Hills region are
threatened with a new danger to their
herds. a mysterious disease has
made its appearance among their stock
that so far has defed the efforts of the
veterinarians to properly classify or
treat it successfully. As described
the malady usually manifests itself by
excessive purging, accompanied by the
presence of large ulcers on the tongue.
The affected animals begin to waste
away and soon afterw ard die. Calves
are the most susceptible to it and large
numbers of them have died since the
disease began to appear among them.
SO far all attempts to combrt the
sCourge have proven unsuccessful.
There were SO, $40 Texas cattle ship
ped to Montana last year. The num-
Der of cattle tipped from Texas to the
northwest during 1902 shows decrease
of 10000, compared with 1901, and was
as follows: To Montana. SO, $40; to
South Dakota, 58, 600; to North Dakota,
50, go; to Wyoming, 81, 400; to Nebras-
ka, %, 800; to Colorado, 5000; to Can
ada, 500. Total, 200, 41O. A year
ago this time deals of magnitude be-
tween northern graZiers and southern
breeders were being reported daily.
So far practically nothing but a little
dickering by mail has been done this
season and there is every prospect that
more trading will be done at FL PaSo
next month than at any meeting of the
Texas Cattle RaiserS' association held
in recent years. Just what number OF
southern cattle will be taken north this
year is hard to predict.

and even copied it. The only way
farmers could make money was to load
up their produce and take it to New
orleans. Lincoln soon was at this
and while he was at New Orleans he
went to tie slave market and saw
slaves being sold like horses and cattle.
The scene filled him with disgust and
he said, eff ever get chance I'll
hit that and hit il hard, too He saw
that f1atboats got caught on snags in
the river and he invented a pole to lift
them over the snags. When they
moved to Indiana his mother died and
he had to help dig her grave. He be-
came a clerk in a store and postmaster
TOR while, then it broke up and he
had to do other things. He was so
anxious to study law that he walked
twenty miles to get book on law.
After that he became lawyer. He
was a member of congress for awhile
and then became a candidate for SEN
ator but was defeated. The people
then nominated him for president and
he was elected. Some people tried to
spoil his election by calling him
''rail-splitter." Then came the civil
war and Lincoln had to call for men
many times before it was ended. When
the war was ended he was in Ford's
theater one evening when an actor shot
him through the head. He died April
5, 1865.

a Com. nendaDle Move.

The News wishes to commend the
business men of Forsyth for the action
they took Monday evening at meet
ing in the court house looking to the
launching of a local building and loan
association.
1t is doubtful if any community N
the state has suffered TO such a marked
degree by political strife as has For
syth, and the move taken Monday ac
tuates us in the belief that our citizens
can cast aside those harmful influences
occasionally, get together and cooper
ate in something that will not only
prove of mutual benefit to everyone
concerned but to the entire community.
1t is certainly a pessmist of the
to be derived from a local building and
loan association, for such an organi-
cation is no experiment. 1t has been
benefit and success by nearly every
town of any consequence in the state
and under the harmonious cooperation
and conservatism of our citizens there
is only one conclusion to draw as to
the result-what has benefited others
Will benefit us.
Although the proposition is i'll its
infancy it has been accorded sufficient
encouragement to make it a permanent
institution aud regardless of any past
political unpleasantries, everyone who
has an iota of desire to see the upbuild-
ing of the community should have no
hestancy in giving it his undivided
support.
1t is the only and practical means of
the man or woman of moderate income
securing for himself a home and doing
away with paying unreasonable house
rent, while it is considered good in
vestment for those in more atlluent cir
cumStanceS.
Another meeting will be held in the
court room next Tuesday night and nc
one should fail to be present.

Lewiston Democrat: With the down

the republican statesmen now soiourn-
ing in Helena will be held strictly re-
sponsi Bile for their beastly lack of gal
lantry in refusing to place our better

through nature or otherwise to give up her
product, the Lactator and the calf alike go
after and go after it hard.
The teat cups also are absolutely new and
novel in their action. The cup is so CON
structed that it collapses at the top first,
and after COMPRISING the root of the teat,
follows down and strips the milk from the
rest of the teat.
Any desired amount of compression can
be thrown onto the teat at any desired point,
leaving other portions with limited compress
sion, and this without reference to the great
er or less degree of vacuum employed.
The pail is hung above the COW and is
supported by hollow hook through which
the air is exhausted, and the mere action of
hanging the pail up makes all connections,
no coupling or hose of any kind being nee
essary to attack the pail to the vacuum
system. The pail hangs and swings just
as freely as if suspended by its bail, without
in any way impairing the efficiency of the
connection.
It's location above the cows back puts it
out of harms way in the case of fractions or
uneasy COWS, and should the teat cups be-
come accidently detached from the cows
udder they will swing free of the floor, sus-
pended by the tube attaching them to the
pail, and thus prevent their injury or getting
into the dirt.
The small glass peepholes show the
amount of milk in the pail at any time, and
the incoming milk flows in at the top and
