With scarcely an exception reports
are being received from every part of
the county which tell of losses suffered
by farmers of horses and cattle since the
setting in Of winter. The cause beyond
a question of doubt is the feeding of too
much straw and an insufficient amount
of hay and grain. Stock feed is known
to have been short in supply, many
farmers not having any at all. The crop
raised for market as we'll as that for
seed and feed last fall came as near be-
ing a failure as farmers IN this county
have experienced in years. Many in the
attempt to winter horses and stock at
the least possible outlay have been
endeavoring to winter their horses and
stock on straw. Where feeding straw
has not been accompanied with grain
and other feed, the false economy has
proven an expensive experiment and
the lesson thus learned should be profit
ed by those more fortunate.

tor Talcott opposed the proposed bill
and made a minority report, but the
committees recommendation that the
bill pass was adopted. The physi-
clans of the state have protested
against the passage of the proposed
bill, claiming it will cast a serious re-
Election on the fraternity in the state
and become a temptation to some
members of the profession to go into
the liquor dispensing business, thus
lowering the standard of the profes.
sion. The druggists generally seem
to want the e bill and are working
for it and the temperance people ap.
pear to be satisfied with it.

The new capitol bill has been in.
troduced by Senator WEIGH of Bis.
marck and has gone to the state af.
fairs committee. There is a good
deal of interest in the measure, which
proposes the creation of a capitol com.
mission, the floating of interest bear.
ing certificates based on the capitol
lands, and the erection of a modern
and sufficient building. Unless the
measure strikes some unforeseen
snags it is likely to pass. The build.
ing of the proposed new building,
however, would require a number OF
years.

A bill in which there will be much
interest through the state is the La
Moure bill shutting out the sale OF
snuff in the state. There is a vast
quantity of this article consumed and
physicians have stated that it has a
worse effect on users than whisky or
many forms of drugs. 1t is claimed
that much of the snuff sold is treated
with some peculiar drugs that deaden
the sensibilities and affect the user
like cocaine or morphine. Habitual
users of it are unable to work without
it and after the stimulation that arises
from its use passes away they become
dull, stupid, exhausted physically and
in nerves and are fit subjects for san.
itarium treatment. The a%nti-snuff bill
has been reported to pass.

The state press association, which
has been working for the passage Of
a printers bill, making uniform the
charges for doing public printing and
advertising, has gotten the bill
through the house, where there we're
only a few opposing votes. The bill
is now in the senate and will proba.
bly, pass that body with slight amend
tments. The bill makes an increase
in charges for public advertising and
