Fatal Diseases in Feeding Moldy
Corn to Horses


1t is with a deep sense of my duty
to my clientage and to stock owners
in general. that l take this means
Of warning all against feeding dam.
aged and moldy corn to their horses.
II travelling over the county l find
an enormous amount OF this damag-
ed corn, and many people feeding
it without knowledge of its disss-
trous results.
In this damaged grain is contain
ed very poisonous Fungi" which
when taken into the stomach in
sufficient quantity produces dan
gerous and fatal disease. This
Fungi" seems to be much more
abundant and poisonous in some
seasons than in others. This year
l think it is more dangerous than ]
have ever known it to be. Horses
at pasture may also contract the
disease when the growth of grass
is so profuse that it mats together
and the lower part dies and ferments
or becomes moldy.
The disease thus produced is
known as "Fungoid Poisoning" or
"Cerebro-Spinal Meningitis. which
consists in poisoning and depres-
sion of the central nervous system.
When the disease appears in the
acute form and is once well develop
ed, attempts at treatment is almost
always unsuccessful. The animal
succumbing in from four hours TO
ten or twelve days from the time
the first symptoms appear. My at
tention has been called to ten cases
of this fatal disease in different 10
lalities in the past few days, all oil
which appeared in the most acute
form. Almost Invariably L find the
! disease in the advanced stages be-
fore the owner realizes the danger
OF his animals condition.
If all stock owners will take heed
an feed carefully there is no doubt
the lives of many hundred dollars
worth of horses can be saved dur
ing the winter.

Are Couple of the Names Applied
by Utah Man.

SAN FRANCISCO. Nov. 3O.-Sena-
tor Smoot of Utah, in an interview
with the correspondent of the Post, o!
Washington, today. is credited with
charging the activity of insurgent
presidential candidates to desire for
place and power, rather than to patri-
otto motives.
"Muchrakers,' the yellow press" and
political demogogues.' he said, ARE
to blame for business conditions of the
past two years but the day of hysteria
has reached its zenith"
Congress may play politics the pres
ent session" he declared. 'as the gOs-
pei of discomfort must be preached and
forms of government changed for the
purpose of appealing to particular
classes, and special sections of the
country for their votes and for no 9TH
er purpose than to attempt to discredit
the republican party and President
Taft"
He added that remedial currency leg
islation will be enacted the comin,;
