OBJECT TO DIPPING RULE.
Farmers Complain That Il Is Workina
Hardship Among Them.

Huron, S. D., June lS.-Many farm
ers and cattle owners in this, Beadle,
county. are protesting strongly against
the enforcement OF the order recently
promulgated by the state board Of
health directing all cattle to be dipped.
The order appears to be imperative and
applies alike to cattle affected with
scab or other disase. and those abso-
lutely free from ailment of any kind.
A meeting Of the county commissioners
was held to consider the matter as
cw-e~s of dipring tanks were at loss
to know how to proceed to enforce the
order. At the meeting were fifty or
more cattiemen, and more would have
been present had they known of the
meeting. The matter was thoroughly
discussed, n a feeling OF earnestness
manifested by those whose cattle are
free from disease. against complying
with the provisions OF the order. and
not a few, apparently very satisfactory
reasons were assigned for the protest.
Finally h board passed a resolution
asking the state board to go modify the
order az not to include cattle known
to be free from scab In the list of those
to be dipped. This resolution has been
forwarded by the county auditor to the
state board and the action Of that body
ID awaited with some Impotence.

AS late as the seventeenth century
and In such civilized and advanced
countries as Scotland, Spain. Germany
and France the barbarous instrument
known as the boot" was commonly
Used to extract Information from re-
tuctant witnesses, or to extort confess
sions from accused persons Some
times the boot was made of iron and
heated to an unbearable degree on the
FOOT OF the helpless victim. In his
novel. odd Mortality" Sir Walter
Scott alludes to 1t as made of this
metal. But in those rough times four
stout planks hastily nailed together Of
ten sufficed for the purpose. Between
the side OF the case and the leg OF tho
person II was desired to torture wedges
were inserted and hammered In. The
result was excrutiating agnnY.
