Treatment for Loco.

The results Of the loco weed when
eaten by stock are unpleasantly IA
miliar to the stockman of the plains
east of the Rocky mountains. 1t has
been estimated that the losses from
this source in Colorado alone have
reached the sum of a million dollars
per annEel. The national bureau of
plant industry has been taking a turf
at the loco problem, and c. D. Marsh,
expert in poison plants, reports that
can in most cases be cured by a course
of treatment with ~strychnine, while
locCed horses can generally be cured
by a ourSe of treatment with Fow-
ler's solution. The animals under
treatment must not be allowed to eat
the loco weed and should be given not
only nutritious food, but so far as pos
sible, food with laxative properties,
To this end magnesium sulphate was
administered to correct the constipa-
ton which Is almost universal among
locoed animals. 1t should be noted,
too, that magnesium sulphate may
serve to some extent Gs an antidOte to
the poison.
1t may be added in regard to the
question of immunity that loco poison
ing comes on in a slow and cumulative
manner so that there is no possibility
Of animals becoming immune.

The Perfect Baked Apple.

When the skins are thin and Of a
deep red color I frequently do not pare
the apples, but at all times l am care
full to remove all the core, especially
every bit of the lining of the seed cells,
and to bake them in granite or earthen,
never in tin, as tin gives them on
unpleasant flavor and a dingy color.
Fill the core cavities with sugar,
heaped or scant, according to the tart
ness Of the apples; add also a few
grains Of salt, and sufficient water to
cover the apples. Bake in a quick oven
and basic freQuently.-The Delineator.

The Pacing Horse.

We have known of many animals
that have acquired the habit of pacing
because Of becoming sore forward. The
fore feet and legs do not assist in The
efforts Of propulsion, their office Is
simply to hold up or support the fore

as it must keep these fore feet out Of
the way of the hind ones, a horse viii

Congressman Railey of Illinois read a
paper prepared by James ]. Hill of

that the railways and waterways
must work together in harmony He
said the waterways should be pre-
pared carefully, and that great trunk
lines should be built first and extern
sions follow. The paper severely crit
icised legislation against railroads at
a time when they so much needed en-
couragement. Pinchot urged water
ways as part of the government con-
servation program.
