Corn Stalk Disease.

1t has been found that cattle
sometimes die after feeding or
corn stalks. Prussic acid poison
ing is supposed to be at the bottom
of the fatal cases. This trouble
must not be confused, however, in
the minds of Farm and Ranch
readers with impaction of the
paunch by reason of overlooking
on stalks, resulting i'll a too full
condition of the first stomach.
Some recent investigations have
shown the presence of prussic acid
in corn stalks. Now comes 7. M.
Price, of the Bureau of Animal In
dustry, and tells us that prussic
acid may be found in the stomach
of the COW eating good corn stalks.
The plot thickens and the case
grows more serious.
Farmers in Kansas have suffered
most seriously from this disease
among their cattle. A Kansas
farmer fed about four armfuls of
corn stalks to twelve head of cattle.
In eight hours seven head had
died. In Louisiana, farmer turn
ed twenty-five head of cattle, most
ly yearlings, into corn-feld con-
tanning some green rye. In four
days the cattle began to die.
Linseed and linseed cake are
now under suspicion, because a
peculiar ferment exists in them
which splits up the glucose ele-
ments and changes them by some
quee. alchemy into prussic acid.
No such glucoside," however,
was found in corn. The investiga-
tons will be continued until the
poor corn-stalks are either convict
ed of conspiracy to poison our
cattle by the prussic acid route, or
from the charge now
lying at their door. The suspicious
ferments are called engines by our
Farm and Ranch.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inhaned con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus-
tachian Tube When this tube is infam-
ed you have rumbling sound or imper-
feet hearing, and when it is entirely clos
ed, Deafness is the result, and unless the
inflammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh,
which is nothing but an infamed condi-
ton of the mucous surfaces.

The Glass Washer.

When you dine en- famille at a
house where each glass on the table
is worth $50 you naturally wonder
how the servants manage to wash

article without breaking. l put the
question to a matron who is her
own housekeeper, 'Tell me how
many of your beautiful goblets,
tumblers, wineglasses, sherry glass
es, etc., are broken every week =
She replied: Every glass is insured
by a company formed for the pur-
pose. This company sends to US
every day an expert glass washer,
a Bohemian, and if he breaks any
thing it has to be paid for. Our
butler keeps tab on him, of course
He breaks very few pieces, indeed.

Big OIL TRUST PROFITS.
New York Hearing shows PROFIT Of
S40O,3I5,03i In Seven Years.


S40O,315,03i In Seven Years.
The hearing before Special Federal
Referee Ferriss of Missouri in the gov
ernment suit to dissolve the great oil COM
bination was begun at New York. with
Attorney Frank b. Kellogg representing
the government and John G.. Milburn and
others as counsel for the Standard Oil
Company. Mr.. Kellogg submitted in evil
dence statistics compiled by the Standard
Oil officials, showing that the Standard
Oil Company of New Jersey had earned
profits in the last seven years aggregat-
ing $490,315,934, and that during the
same time dividends had been paid to the
amount of $30S,359, ,403. These profits
came from the plants owned by the parent
company, as well as from those of the
subsidiaries controlled by it. This was
the first time in the history of the oil
trust that record of it's earnings entire
had been made public. Acting Controller
Fay of the Standard said there were
nineteen subsidiary companies and gave
their names. The evidence is being taken
for use in the Circuit Court at st. Louis,
where the dissolution suit, under the
antitrust law, is TO be prosecuted. Mr..
Kellogg among other things, wanted the
company to produce the minutes of the
various meetings at which the absorption
of smaller companies was arranged. but
the counsel for the company was inclined
to resist. a.
The examination of Charles NJ. Pratt,
secretary Of the trust, brought out the
fact that the parent company had trans
ferred its $4000,O00 holdings in the
Waters-Pierc Oil Company of Texas to
a son-in-law of Vice President Archbold
from 1904 to 1907, during the custer pro-
ceedings brought against the subsidiary
by the State Of Texas, and that only
S125 900 in cash was paid for the stocks,
the remainder being in the form of a note
which was never fully taken up, the prof
it's of the Waters-Pierce company going
toward the payment of the note. Mr..
Pratt admitted that this transaction did
not appear on the books of the Standard,
the accounts being kept under the title,

explained that by this arrangement he
held the stocks for the trust merely as n
convenience, and when asked If it was
not done to avoid the antitrust laws of
Texas he replied, Not that l know Of"
Tabulatons were also verified showing
enormous earnings of subsidiaries, among
which those of the Standard Oil Company
of Indiana appeared most remarkable.
This corporation on a capitalization of
S1,O00,000 made profits in 1906 amount
ing to $10,516,OS2. and last year paid to
the parent company $4,495,5O0. This
amounted for at least one year to the re-
markable profit of 1000 per cent. Mr..
kellogg also brought out evidence show
ing how the New York branch had been
Systematically drained by saddling upon
it enormous liabilities at the same time
that its assets were greatly increased.
Counsel Milburn disclosed one line of de-
fense by giving notice that the trust
would object to any testimony bearing
upon acts committed prior to July 2,
1890, when the Sherman law went into
effect.
