A new bee disease is spreading
through certain parts of Europe. 1t
is caused by parasite, a menace to
silk worms also, called Nosema apis.
AS many of our queen bees come from
the provinces now losing out heavily
in the bee trade by it, we could easily
get it transmitted with these bees to
this land At first it was supposed to
be simply the same disease as that
causing what is called May dwind-
ling" Now it is known as something
decidedly more serious, because it is
incurable, and the death of bees taken
with it occurs in from four to five
days.
The disease shows up with a diar-
rhea, because it is in the lower intes-
tines these parasites work. The para
sites belong to the kingdom of the pro-
toaZas and are of sporelike formation.
1t has the power to envelope itself
in shell and lie dormant until taken
up by the bee. 1t is carried to the
intestine, to which it fastens itself
and multiplies rapidly. Before the
bee dies it has left these spores on
everything it touched for other bees
to become infected. 1t seems to be
akin to the protoaza, causing the
white diarrhea in chicks and other
fowls as well.
The intestine of a healthy bee is
semi-transparent and flesh colored, but
when infected with this Nosema apis
it turns milky color and is Opaque.
This is one way of identifying the
presence of this particular parasite.
The abdomen is also badly swollen.

For government by The People.

For Government by the People.
Representative Gardner, of Massa-
chusetts, is doubtless right in his con-
clusion that the insurgent Republicans
of the House will not be able during
this session of Congress to accomplish
decisive results in their fight for
amendment of the rules or the over
throw of the Speakers dictatorship
over the proceedings of the House.
By combination which Republican
Leader Parsons, of New York, de-
nounces as due to corrupt political
bargain, Mr.. Cannon has already been
elected Speaker of the House for tho
Sixty-first Congress. His rule is GER
tainly not so obnoxious to a majority
of the Republican membership that
they may be expected to resort to so
radical step as to displace him, or
even to ask for his resignation.
Mr.. Cannon is in the chair for the
lifetime of this Congress, and he may
be expected to go on doing the bid
ding of the interests and the bosses
through whose influence he has been
placed there. Protests against his
usurpation of the powers of the House
will serve the useful purpose of keep
ing before the people the revolution
that ''Cannonism' has wrought in the
Congress of these United States.
though they do not bulge Uncle Joe
a hairs breadth
During the session Democratic mem
bers of IKE House and those Republi-
can members who insist that they were
sent to Washington to represent their
constituents in ungagged debate and
open balloting would do we'll to bring
Mr.. Speakers dictatorship to a test
at every convenient opportunity. Let
the overthrow of the representative
government at Washington be made
notorious. Let the people understand
fully how it is that their will is ha-
bitually defeated in the national cap
ital.
"Cannonism" and the House rules
are among the burning issues of Amer
lean politics to-day. They are strong
enough to decide the fate of parties
Until they are decided right it is idle
for the people to vote on other great
issues with the foreknowledge that
their verdict will be reversed in Wash
ington if it be not acceptable to a
small group of usurping party BOSSES

How ..Protection, Protects.

How ssProtection" Protects.
When Senator Aldrich and Congress
man Boutell made their gallant de
tense of the high tariff on imports of
textiles they urged the necessity of
protecting the mill workers of New
England against competition from
what they termed the '.pauper" labor
of Europe
Observation-Disclosures as a matter of
coincidence-they declared their be-
lief that only by an import duty on
textiles could New England mill mag
mates be guaranteed the reasonable
profit which the Republican tariff
plank of 1908 promised to all Ameri-
can industries.
To show how far from tottering on
the verge of ruin are the textile mo-
nopolists of New England, we publish
a few figures on the earnings of few
leading textile companies for nine
years and their financial standing:

weaving the Colt.


The loss of flesh at weaving time
may be reduced to minimum if the
colt is taught to eat grain with its
dam before it is weaned 1t is not
the best practice to feed the colt large
quantities of. grain while with the
mare, but rather to get him to eating
small amounts Teach him to stand
tied with a halter before weaving, so
that he will not fret when taken
away from the mare Colts that are
accustomed to being led and tied are
much easier to manage during wean-
ing time than those that have never
been handled.
About 6 months of age is the proper
time to wean a strong colt. Many
good horsemen prefer to wean them
at once, while others wean them more
gradually, allowing them to suck once
day for a number of days before
they are taken away entirely. After
the colt has been removed from the
mare it is essential that she have good
care and her udder should be bathed
at least once every day with cold
water and spirits of camphor to pre-
vent it from becoming caked and
feverish
When the colt is taken from the
mare he should have a box stall that
is well lighted and ventilated The
box stall will afford him more exercise
than single one. After giving him a
box stall do not think he should have
no other exercise, but turn him out
once a day when the weather is favor
able and allow him to run around the
yards. Bran and oats make good
grain ration and clover and timothy
hay make excellent roughage.-Agri-
cultural Epitomist.

LAW ENFORCEMEN T

During last week there were in Min
eral Point city three instances OF the
enforcement of law against violators
thereof. The city authorities acted
promptly, as they should against all
who bid defiance to efforts to secure
good government. Those who wllfully
and persistently violate state laws and
CITY ordinances deserve no quarter.
The great majority of the people OF
Mineral Point are law abiding Those
who are not law abiding will carry on
their misdoings so long as they are I'M
restrained by civil authority.
Above all else Mineral Point should
desire TO have all her people so act as
to give the city a good name before the
world. Those who by their evil deeds
tarnish her good name should lie dealt
dealt with accordingly.
The firmer the stand taken by those
in authority towards the enforcement
of lust laws the nearer they will come
to meeting the expectations of the
people.

DEMOCRATIC COUNTY
COW ENTION.

A few Democrats from different parts
of the county met at Dodgeville last
Friday afternoon in response to the call
for a county convention. In the alb
sence of Chairman A. q. Roethe, who
was confined to his home with sickness,
A. J. Egan, secretary of the committee,
called the meeting to order.
On motion Judge Aldro jerks was
chosen chairman of the convention and
Mr.. Egan secretary.
The following named delegates were
elected to represent Iowa county in the
Democratic State convention at Milwau
kee: Robert M. Crawford, Thomas M
Priestley, James E. O'Neill, Thomas II.
Arthur, D. Fl. Cross, A. G.. Roethe,
James Ryan, J. B. Eagan, John Rowe,
Jr., Thomas Hicks.
Delegates were given power of substi :
tuition, and those attending at Milwau
kee were authorized to cast the full vote
of the county in the convention.
The matter of having Democratic
candidates on the official ballot at the
primary election was brought up by
Secretary Egan and was discussed by
all present, but was referred to the
county committee for action.
There was general agreement that
most of all to be desired was good gov
eminent; and confidence was expressed
that there had been material advance
made in this direction at the last session
of congress. The arbitrary domination
of the house of representatives had been
curbed, and representative government
brought nearer to the people. While
the chief individual credit for this good
work in self government was due to a
few heroic insurgent Republicans who
preferred the welfare of the county to
party solidarity, yet the great bulk OF
the votes which gave it force and effect
were cast by Democratic members OF
congress under the leadership Of Hon.
Champ Clark. The county expects a
Democratic house of representatives to
be elected to carry forward progressive
constitutional democracy.
The most militant Democrat present
in the convention was Thomas M.
Evans, who is generally favored as
candidate for member of assembly.
Mr.. Evans suggested that the dele
gates to Milwaukee ought to be in
structed to support the progressive
movement. This idea found favor with
Judge jerks and others; and on motion
of Thomas H. Arthur the delegates were
instructed to support men and measures
that favor progressive policies, and those
favoring county option.

evidently it was not sufficiently so. 1t
seems little tough that country editors
have to be hauled up before the govern
ment under the charge of violating
federal laws just because they do not
eternally keep dunning their subscribers
for the small sum they owe on sub
scriptions, but it is like the end of the
world, no one knows when it cometh,
and no editor knows what day an in
spector may pop in and ask to see his
list. And if too many subscribers are
behind on their paper it means trouble
with the government. It puts an editor
in such shape that he is compelled to
force his collections unless he has an
unusual prompt paying list of subscri-
bers."
The Bee, newspaper published at
jefferson, has also been jerked up.
This is what it's editor says about it:
"The Bee this morning received its
first official summons from the post
Office department to conform with the
the ruling which requires subscribers to
keep their subscriptions paid up. We
can no longer send the paper to delin-
quents no matter how willing we may be
to accommodate them. We sometimes
question the right of Uncle Sam to
interfere in the conduct of a legitimate
business, and say we shall not extend
credit if we wish to, but whether right
or wrong, we must conform to the
regulation. 1t will distress us greatly
to cut off lot of good and long time
patrons who we know intend to pay,
but are careless about the matter, and
if such really want the Bee we know
they will come to our assistance and
and relieve us from this embarrass-
ment."
It is very dangerous business for a
newspaper man to send papers to
subscribers who are more than twelve
months in arrears. To be deprived Of
the second class mailing privilege,
which is the penalty for non compli-
ance with the rulings, puts newspaper
out of business, for the expense of put
ting a one cent stamp on every paper
mailed amounts to much more than the
profits on the entire subscription bust
ness, to say nothing of the increased
amount of labor which would be re-
quired in affixing the stamps.
