makers for final vote.
The Wileroy bill closing the bird

OF learning, supported by the Statc,and
the measure was passcl. u to u.
Governor Mann will not sign the bill
which passed the House aud Senate
providing for an administrative board

municipal affairs but that he has been
requested to disapprove the measure
passed in both houses because two i'm
portant sections we're omitted.

Endemic Among HorseSs-,

Harrisonburg, Jan. CA veterinary
surgeon claims to have discovered that
q worm in corn is responsible for the
poisoning which, has killed off more
than hundred horses in this end OF
the Valley in the Hast two months.
This veterinarian suggests that corn be-
boiled before feeding to horses.
The general belief is that the corn
was moulded by last summers drouth
and that this produced the fatal POISON
in the cob. State Veterinarian Fearney-
hough is inclinccd to the latter opinion.
Almost daily reports come in OF horses
dying from eating the moldy corn.

changed, and it now seemsprobable
that more than TWO candidates for

to so present me, | will appreciate
