which is almost universal in locoed
animals, magnesium sulphate Epson
salt) may be administered as drench
in Bounce doses. Epson salt may also
serve to some extent as an antldote to
the poison produced by the weeds.
Beneficial results have also been OBJ
tanned by giving horses daily drench
containing ounces of Epson salt
with 10 drops of dilute sulphuric acid,
and by giving cattle tri-weekly to
4 ounces of Epson salt with a proper
tional increase in the quantity of di-
Lutte sulphurie acid.
AS the foregoing treatments are IN
the experimental stage, the Bureau
Of Animal Industry, Washington, u.

results from their use.

WASHINGTON LETTER

To frame measure bearing upon
any important governmental pro-
blem 50 perfect in expression as to
defy criticism, Or easily to overcome
it when made by experts, is not an
easy thing BY any means. In the
matter of the corporation tax, how
ever, there is every reason to be-
lieve that we will get a law clearly
expressed and cne that will be able
to pass muster in the courts II TAX
en- there. Not only is President Taft,
the father Of the corporation tax
measure. 3 lawyer of the first class,
but his advisers IN this matter, Mr..
Wickersham, Mr.. Knox, Mr.. Root,
and several others, are known to be
the best qualified lawyers in the
country to decide upon this or any
other legal question. Already solu-
tons have been found to the pro-
blerns which so sorely perplexed the
Republican members of the Finance
Committee in connection with his
amendment, as the result of series
of conferences being held at the
White House between the President
and his advisers. While it is ex-
planned that the solutions are not
absolutely final, it is known that
they are so nearly final as to need
very little material change.
The provisions of the IT { t
amendment, to date, have been
summarized as follows: All corpor-
ations will be subjected to tax Of
2 per cent on their net earnings
above $4,000 a year, except that
the funds necessary to pay interest
on bonds shall be deducted from
such net earnings. Bonds, as defined
in the provision exenpting the
funds necessary to pay the interest
thereon, do not include income or
debenture bonds, or bonds into
which the capital stock has been
obviously converted, or any bonds
in excess Of the capital stock Of the
insuring company. National and
State banks will be subject to the
same tax as other corporations, ex-
cept that in case Of national banks
there shall be deducted from the in
come tax they are required to pay
the amount of the tax they pay on
their circulation. All corporations
will be required to submit to the
collector of internal revenue de-
tailed statement Of their gross re-

ceipts, operating expenses, and any
interest they are required to pay or
bonds. Of course where the net
earnings fall below $4,000 no tax
will be imposed. This feature in
sures the opportunity for federal
inspection which the ? resi- d !
deems so important.
Secretary Knox is reported to be
the authority for the statement that
the Supreme Court Of the United
States has defined net earnings to
be gross receipts less the operating
expenses, interest on bonds being
excluded from operating expenses.
According to Secretary Wilson OF
the Department Of Agriculture,
there is little ext use for a man being
out of work this time Of the year.
Secretary Wilson has just returned
to Washington from a trip through
the West where he has found great
shortage Of hands on the farms Of
this country. This too, comes at q
time when the cities are rerorted to
be overrun with men who are out OF
work. Truly the destinations Of the
sidewalks are great.
Newspapers all over the country
report scores of towns and cities as
preparing to curtail noise and re-
duce fatalities on the coming fourth
Of July. Even Chicago has joined the
'ssafe and sane" independence Day
league and its police department
has printed for general circulation
a list of .'Don'ts prepared by the
Corporation Counsel. In Baltimore

It is gratifying to know that the
United States bank ing interests will
have an opportunity to participate
in the loan Of S27, 500, 900 which the
Chinese government had practically
agreed to divide between financial
institutions in Great Britain, Ger
many and France for the purpose
Of railroad construction. China has
at no time signifed any intention Of

that American interests would be

The Characteristic symptoms OF the

The characteristic symptoms OF the
disease are q slow. staggering gait,
rough coat, staring, vacant look, and
anaaciation. The affected animals have
Authorizations, can not be led or back
ed show more or less lack OF museu-
lar coordination, gradually lose fiesh,
and die. The affection comes on IN
slow and cumulative manner, and there
Is no possibility of animals becoming
immune by continually eating the
plants.
The proyerb IAN ounce Of proven
ton is worth pound of cure applies
to this disorder. Although good re-
s,,lts can often be obtained by the
treatment OF locoed animals, the most
effective way of dealing with the
trouble is to keep animals from eat
inc the loco plants Wherever practl-
cable the weeds should be extermln-
ated from the range or pasture, and
the best way Of doing this is simply to
cut them out. This method, however,
while often practicable on land under
private control, can not very well be
applied to the public range. In many
cases much can be accomplished by
keeping animals away from loco COW
cred ranges during the time when
| feed is short, as they are much more
likely to contract the habit at such a
time. It may sometimes be profitable
! to feed them for q short time, IN or
der that the loco eating habit may
not be formed.
After animals have become affected
the first essential in their treatment
| is to place them where they can not
eat the loco weeds. They should be
given plenty of nutritious feed, and Sc
far as practicable feed with laxative
properties, such as green alfalfa. Some
may recover under this treatment
without recourse to medicine. With
most animals, however, recovery is

State Department apprised Of her
intentions. The diplomacy Of Secre-
tary Knox, however, is responsible
for the action Of the Chinese gov
eminent in offering a part of the
loan to American interests. and the
Secretary Of State regards this as
merely preliminary to a more extern
sive investment Of American capital
in China. It is we'll known that the
Department of State regards China
as the most fruitful field for increas-
ing its trade relations, and that TO

The Loco Disease OF Live Stock Ii
The West.

The so-called loco disease of horses,
sheep, and cattle has been for MANY
years a source of serious loss to stock
men in the West, who have generally
attributed it to certain weeds eaten by
the stock. Investigations by the United
States Department Of Agriculture
have not only confirmed the suppose
ton as to the poisonous effect Of these
plants, but have resulted in the dis
coyery and Identification of barlum as
definite poisonous element in them.
Feeding experiments establishing the
fact that the plants are responsible
for the disease were carried on under
field and corral conditions by DR.. G..
Dwight Marsh, while the discovery of
barium was made in the laboratory by
DR.. A. C. Crawford.
The loco weeds are class OF le-
guminous plants of which the prinei-
pal ones are the purple loco weed
(Astragalus mollissimus) and the rat
tle-weed (Aragallus lamberti). One or
both Of these prevail to a greater or
less extent over an area including all
or parts Of Montana, Wyoming, North
Dakota, South Dakota, Minnesota,
Nebraska, Kansas, Colorado, Utah,
Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, and
Oklahoma.

Lei. Him Come Back.

It is reported that q movement is on
foot looking to the return home OF
Major E. A. Burke, former state
treasurer of Louisiana, who has been
living in exile in Spanish Honduras
for tue past twenty years because Of q
shortage. in his accounts and other
irregularities connected with the
states finances during his admins
tration.
The Chief hopes there will be no
serious or captious opposition to this
movement, and that the broken and
unfortunate old man will be permitted
to come back with the assurance that
he will be accorded the utmost lenieney
consistent with a decent regard for
law and the public interests.
It has always been our belief
shared, doubtless, by large M lority
of the people of the state cognizant Of
the circumstanees-th Major Bnrke's
misdoings were the result Of misjudg-
ment rather than willful intent to de-
fraud; that he was more unfortunate
than criminal; that he hypothecated
the states securities for the purpose
OF promoting such public enterprises
as the Cotton Exposition at New Or
leans and not for his own enrichment
or the furtherance of selfish personal
ends, and, finally, that If his invest
ments had been crowned with success
instead of failure, Louisiana would
have profted immensely and he would
have been hailed as public bene-
factor.
BY the turn of tickle fortunes wheel
his plans were shattered and he be-
came instead fugitive from justice
and an exile from home. Now, in his
old age, with health and spirit broken,
he longs to return, and to our mind i
will be cruelty vindIetfve hand that
interpeses TO prevent the consumma-
ton OF his wish.

Weather and crun Notes.

from this weeks Ascension letter to

albeit there has been an absence Of

larly cool than January. Last Sum
day, the 18th, was the first M arch day
that could have been called really
warm, and it was closely followed by
