Il Is reported that Mr.. Taft has
submitted the manuscripts OF his In
augursl address to a number OF inti-
mate friends, and that in conse-
quence in has leaked out, among
other things, that he will make no
appointment Of negroes to Federal
positions 10 the South. This seems
to justify the attitude OF the New
York Sun in IA recent editorial, where
in is said:
Mr.. Taft viii go into the presidency
with truer and more sympathetic un-
der-tanoing OF the attitude and the aspi-
retions of the ruling glasses OF the South
than any one who has ever occupied the
chair, not even excepting Mr. Cleveland
He knows how they feel toward him per-
sonally. and he has had abundant op-
portnuity OF sppraising their sentiment
In respect OF the Republican party. Their
expectations are entirely reasonable and
modest They do not ask him to ap-
point Democrats; they ask only that be
Will appoint respectable Republicans.
They would like to have the referee busi-
Ness done away with. They would like
20 see q Republican Organization in their
States with some nobler occupation than
that OF assembling servile delegations to
national conventions and afterward par
ceiling out the Federal patronage To a
small and compact retinue. Maybe I'M
DER such a dispensation they might con-
slider the propriety of joining q party
with whose economic principles most OF
them are IN entire harmony. Assuredly
they would not consider IL from any
other point OF view.
But Mr.. Taft understands the whole
problem at last, and doubtless he ends
IL simple and ruoimentsry enough. After
Gil 10 comes to nothing more than a petit.
ton for the square deal-of which we
have so far heard so much and seen so
little.
We do not know by what authori-
ty the Sun speaks, but Is is needless
80 say that If the predictions which
are being made for Mr.. Taft come
true, there will be established be
tween the sections of this country
an era OF good feeling such as ha.
not existed since she war.

TWO GREAT EVENTS

complished the most marvellous and
. wonderful voyage in all the annals of
any navy. 1t has Travelled 5000
miles without mishap or a jar.
The great nations OF the world have
looked on In wonder and amszament.
while they have paid tribute to
Americas flag and great navy. The
officers and men have been feted and
Toasted and have received the very
warmest welcome from the great
powers OF she world. This naval dis
play has advertised shis republic as
one of the great powers, and must
hereafter be reckoned with in the
event that her interest is assailed OF
her honor assaulted. An immense
concourse OF people was at Hamp.

The next great event is March 4th,
when William a. Tafs will be inaugu-
rated President. Ii is thought this
inaugural will surpsss sll others In
it's magnificent display, it's pomp and
parade and It's crowd.
We trust that the presidentin duct-

this people a wise, able and patriotic
administration which shall rebound
to the good and welfare Of this re-
public and all It's people.

from the same trough the quick drink
ers would get more than their share,
and sickness would be the result. Our
feeding is done from enamel basins,
which are washed every day, and
rinsed with lime water. A great deal
of sickness among calves is brought
about from the effects of the animals
sucking each other; this means that
a quantity of hair to a more or less de-
gree is consumed. This habit will
not be found where calves are fed sep
arately.
Treatment-Add u OF. of formalin
to 1 pint of distilled water; place So
luton in a dark amber colored bottle,
and keep in a cool place. A table,
spoonful of this mixture should be
added to each pint of milk to be fed.
Adhere to this treatment until the
calf The formalin solution
should be added to the separated
milk as soon after separation as con-
venient.
Second Recipe-Carbolic acid, 10 to
80 drops; tincture of opium, 80 drops;
gentian, 80 drops; aromatic spirits OF
ammonia, 80 drops. Give in a half pint
of warm water or milk. Repeat the
dose daily until the calf has recovered.

EXAMINING A SICK ANIMAL.
Ry DR.. David Roberts.

First, take the temperature of the
animal by placing a fever thermom-
eter into the rectum, allowing it to
remain there from three to five min
utes. The normal temperature OF a
cow is 101 degrees (Fahrenheit). The
normal temperature of a horse is 100
degrees, sheep 101 degrees.
Second, take the pulse OF the AMI
NAL, which can be found at the angle
of the jower jaw bone. The normal
beats Of a cows pulse is from 40 to
so per minute, and that OF a horse
from 33 to 40 per minute.
Third, count the respiration OF the
animal, or number of times 1t breathes
by watching the sides of TANKS, or by
pressing the ear to the side. The nor
NAL respiration Of the COW Is from
Is to 20 per minute, and that OF a
horse is from IL to Is per minute
while resting. If the temperature,
pulse or respirations r found to be
higher or faster than above described,
you will know that the animal is all
ing.
