A New Live Stock Feature.

The Ranch has just completed ar

Each stock owner paying a dollar
will have his brands advertised one
time and have his name placed on
the subscription list for a year, as
we'll as having his brand pub
lished in a state brand book. Addi-

ure that should prove of value to the

the state. e. F. Benson, one of the
most prominent stocKmen, is inter-
ested in the feature, and would be
glad to have all stockmen write him
at Prosser, if they wish their brands
advertised. 1t is important that the

extensively advertised. AS the April l
issue of The Ranch will go to every
stockman in the state an adv. in its
columns will be paying investment.

Bears Destroy Stock in Alaska.

Alaska bears are playing havoc with
some of the herds of cattle and flOcks
of sheep Washington parties are try
ing to raise up there. The Alaska
variety of bruin is larger than the kind
found in the states. The Frye-Bruhn
Company, of Seattle, is a heavy suf-
ferer from the ravages of these ami
mails. They have written Senator Eos
ter a letter detailing the situation
Among other things they said: eve
shipped 300 head of cattle and 9,1O0
breeding ewes to Kodiak, Alaska, last
spring. The bears have been getting
into the bunch and have killed SOB
to date. During the mix-up about
twelve bears were slain. About thirty
days ago two bears got into the sheep
and after killing twenty-five sheep and
tearing the coat off one man the bears
were Killed. The United States mar
shall on hearing Of this had all our
men arrested for killing the bears.
Five of our men were compelled to
stand trial at considerable expense to
us. The bears are very numerous on
the island, and since they have tasted
sheep the sheep are badly scared and
are continually piling up. Unless some
thing is done with the bears they will
put us out of business"

Coyotes in Puget Sound Region.

According to stephen JudSOn, one
of the pioneers of Pierce county, the
stock interests on the western slope
of the Cascades are menaced by
new danger in the form of coyotes
that come over from the east side. In
early days coyotes were unknown west
of the mountains, but now they are
said to be getting numerous. Mr..
Judson has kept sheep on the prairie
lands south of Tacoma for years. Dur
ing the past three or four years he
has been making a study of the coy
ote question, together with other sheep
ranchers, who have been investigating
the matter, and he claims to have
discovered that the willy marauders
have come into the sound region
through the offices of the east side
sheep men, who annually drive their
flocks from the sage grass plains into
the grazing lands along the summit
of the Cascades.
The coyotes follow the f1ocks, Mr..
Judson says, and upon reaching the
high attitudes easily wander down
the mountain trails to the open grass
country lying south of Puget Sound
basin. A peculiar fact noted by the
farmers and sheep men, who are &C
ouainted with the coyote and his ways
in the Rocky mountain regions, is the
change in his appearance and deport-
ment here as compared with his brig
and tactics further east. The Puget

To Rid Stock of Ticks.

A subscriber at DanVille, WASH,
writes The Ranch as follows: "Can

The query was submitted to Maynard
Rosenberger, assistant veterinarian at
the state agricultural college. He
says: Treatment for this trouble OF
course depends upon the number OF
animals to be treated. If there are
several hundred it would be advisable
to use one of the government dips pre-
pared for treating scabies in cattle and

Lice and Nits on Cattle.

The complaint is common about this
time of the season that lice and nits
are infesting cattle, and many stock
owners are driven almost frantic over
the havoc the pests are causing. A
knowledge of an effective remedy is
invaluable. There are several rem
edies that would be good, but one of
the best is said to be stanis agrea seed,
which may be had at any drug store.
Simmer one ounce of the seed in one
quart of water and apply. This will
kill all lice and nits with which 1T
comes in contact. If necessary, re-
peat in one week.

an entirely different species from that

writes up his method of raising it
for the Rural Spirit. Mr.. Scott says
the seed should be sown about the first
of April, at the rate of one pound Of
seed to two acres of kale. Cultivate
until about eight inches high, then
transplant by plowing in the plants
two feet apart in the row, and the
rows to be three feet apart. Each
evening roll down with heavy roller,

started to grow, cultivate it. If very

think that a mixture of equal parts of

directly to the infest surface would
be very efficient. Care should be
taken if ticks are removed by hand,

skin obstinate sores may develop"

THE CAUSE OF LEPROSY.
Dr. Jonathan Hutchinson, of Eng land, Says It Is the Eating of
 Decomposing Fish.

The conclusion of Dr. Jonathan Hutchinson, of England, after a study of leprosy as it appears in various parts of the world, is that the disease is caused wholly by eating decomposing or imperfect ly cured fish. The London Times is inclined to accept Dr. Hutchin. sons idea. It is held that in all countries and in all ages leprosy has been and is stlll due to the consumption of Thigh" fish. The preference for fish in a tainted condition is an acquired taste" and it is claimed that it prevails among a sufficient number of peo- pie to account for the dreadful dis. ease wherever it exists. Leprosy was nearly general in England and on the continent in the six. teenth century, and it is claimed still prevails in many fishing sta. tions, especially in Norway, Ice. land and Tracadie. It is repre- sented that at these places there is still a preference for fish in a tainted condition. It is noted, says the Cincinnati Enquirer, that in regions where leprosy was formerly common, it has disap- peared with the advancement of agriculture and the discarding of fish for food. In India vegetari- ans are free from it, but the fish, eaters are much troubled. Dr. Hansen, of Bergen, discovered that persons having leprosy carry in their tissue a bacillus resem- bling that of tuberculosis, and the disease is thought to be a mod. ification of tuberculosis, caused by a specific virus developed in de. caying fish. The scientists, espe- cially those whose direction is in the medical line, are always mak. ing it harder to get along in the world; but it is probably better to give heed to their theories, even if there may be nothing in them, for it may happen that little care in the selection of the dried fish we eat may add few years to life; and it is the general agreement that life is none too long at best
