Milk Fever.

The United States Department of Agriculture
has recently issued Circular No. 45, of the Bureau
of Animal Industry, entitled "Milk Fever: Its
Simple and Successful Treatment" It gives a
complete description of the astonishingly success
full results obtained in the treatmen of this here
tofore extremely fatal malady by the injection of
filtered atmospheric air into the udder. Milk
fever affects well-nourished, h~eavy-milking COWS
in all the large dairy districts of this country,
and is characterized by the complete paralysis of
the animal shortly after calving. As it attacks
the best milking COWS in the herd and at a time
when the milk flow is the heaviest, the disease is
one which has caused very severe losses in our
dairy industry. It is, therefore,, of the greatest
Importance that every milk producer acquaint
himself with the present extremely successful
treatment and should provide himself with a suit
able. apparatus for injecting sterile air through
each teat until the udder is well distended. This
air retainer is by far the most simple and prac-
ticable, as well as the most eficacious and harm
less one ever used, and has reduced the mortality
from the disease to almost nothing. 1t is easy
of manipulation, requires but little time, and is
readily accomplished by means of the apparatus
suggested by the Bureau. Up to within recent
times most stringent measures were resorted to
by every careful dairyman to prevent the disease
in his herd. However, since the air treatment has
so greatly reduced, and even in some cases oblit-
Grated, the mortality, prevention is no longer
such an important problem, and therefore proven
tive measures, such as starving, blood letting, etc.,
which have a severe and lasting effect upon the
animals, should be abandoned. The most recent
preventive treatment suggested is in line with
the favorable results obtained by the injection Of
air into the udder. It consists in allowing the
susceptible COW to retain in the udder for twenty
four hours following calving all the milk except
the small quantity required by the calf. The dis
air treatment and acts as a preventive against
milk fever.

BANK OF LOGS AT LANDINGo

One of the most distressing
accidents which has occurred in

happened yesterday at Noonan $

and one man was crushed to
death beneath tons of heavy tim

miracles that seems unaccounta-
BILE.
The accident occurred yester-
day afternoon. Both men were
working on the landing and were
standing beneath a heavy bank
of logs when it suddenly gave
way and started to roll into the
lake. One of them fell beneath
the logs which had crossed and
escaped with serious injury The
other was instantly killed and it
was necessary to remove fifty
heavy timbers before his lifeless
body mangled to a pulp. could be
extricated.
The name Of the dead man can
not be learned. He had been
employed at the camp for about
three weeks was stranger in
this vicinity and was about forty
years of age. The accident is
the third which has occurred in
the camps Of the Clearwater
Company during the past week.

FORGED PARENTS NAME TO
LETTER GIVING CONSENT
Earnest Prebble Enlists for Cay
airy Service But Will Probably
Be Sent Back Home.

The longing to be a soldier was
too strong in the breast Of
Earnest Prebble, the seventeen
year old son of w. Z. Pre- bile, to
be cong uered and when he found
that his parents would not con-
sent to his joining the army, he
deliberately forged their name
to a letter Of consent given the
recruiting sergeant and when the
Great Northern train east bound
yesterday rolled out Of the city
,withits bunch Of recruits Prebble
was among the rest.
The lad has long had a banker
ing for the military life and ever
since the recruiting office was
opened in this he has i'm
portuned his parents with re-
quests to be allowed to enlist.
They steadtastly withheld it as
they had another future in sight
for Earnest, not as romantic and
less inclined to vicissitude than
the one he chose for himself.
Finally he presented himself
at the recruiting Office as a can
didate for the consideration Of
the sergeant. Mr.. White very
promptly informed him, although
he stated that he was past the
age limit, that it would be neces-
sary for him to secure the writ
ten consent of his parents before
his application would be consid-
cred. In a short time the boy
returned with the necessary ere
dentials and was duly accepted
as a recruit.
He was enrolled as a cavalry
recruit and shipped to ST. Louis
yesterday noon Shortly after
his departure the news reached
his mother. His father is at
present in the woods near Sol
way. She visited the recruiting
Office, learned the truth and was
so overcome that she was taken
seriously ill.
The case is an unfortunate one.
Sergeant White will use every
effort to have the boy returned
to his home but it is a question
whether this can accomplished
or not.

Like the Pagan Prophet.

In spite Of the desperate straits OF it's cam
paign, the truth telling instincts Of the leading
Democratic journal from time to time reassert
their mastery. Here is how "The New-YorI
World" begins its article on the Presidents ac-
ton in the Slocum matter:
President Roosevelt has acted wisely justly and
vigorously in the Slocum case. In his dismissal
of the guilty government officials. in his denuncia-
tioR Of the manufacturers of defective Hfesaving
appliances and in his demand for measures that
will prevent such sacrifices in the future the Pres-
dent has done the right thing in his Characters
tically strong way.
In spite of his many glarine temperamental de-

right thing because II is the right thing. If poi-
cal benefits force themselves upon him in conse-
quence, they are incidents in virtues Sef-rewsrd.
