in which he received a fattering indorse-
ment, was chosen by the legislature to

Mr.. Rayner's standing as q constitu-
tional lawyer and his liking for work that
involved legal questions was recognized
by leaders of the Senate who made up
the committee assignments and Mrs Ray
ner, soon after his service in the Senate
began. was made a member of the Senate
judiciary committee. His familiarity
With questions Of International law also
made him valuable member for the
Senate foreign relations committee and
for several years he sat with that COM
mittee.

member Of the Senate committee on edu-
cation and labor, and had he lived prob
ably would have become its chairman

Shortly after the termination Of the

left the House, Mr.. Rayner came into the
public eye OF the nation by his defense
Of Rear Admiral Winfield Scott Schley
during the SampSon-Schley controversy

general for Maryland Close friends OF
the rear admiral in Maryland turned to
Mr. Rayner as an able counselor for fha

persuaded Mr. Rayner to take an active
part in the defense. Mr.. Rayner showed
that the confidence Of those who appealed
to him was not misplaced and he proved
an able champion Of the Santiago commo.

Dr.. Frank Jones Sends a Very
Satisfactory Explanation to
MIR. Garnett in Refer
ence to Tick Fever.

Probably / can explain the cause
of Texas fever in COWS and the re-
lation of the disease to the improper
feeding of cotton seed meal IN way
that MIR. Garnett can understand.
Fifteen or twenty years ago far
mers of this country had not the
slightest idea of the loss that the
Texas fever tick was causing. They
would attack the young calf and it
would have mild form of the dis
ease which would retard it's devel-
opment and growth but would give
to it an acquired immunity from the
disease. By keeping and breeding
such animals the death rate was
minimized. But animals (cowa)
bred and raised under such condi-
tions were and are almost worthless.
Some farmers have pursued the
wise plan when they got rid of
their Texas fever breed and chang
ed their pastures, and by 30 doing
have eliminated the disease and are
now raising healthy valuable COWS.
Others are introducing new blood
with their tick infested scrub herds
with an idea of improving their
breed. But without first preparing
for the health and welfare of the
animals, which consists in blowing
up the old pastures, spraying the
standard dip and keeping COWS or
other animals infested with the
ticks from entering any lands where
the COWS that have been sprayed
are likely to go there is little hope
of exterminating the tick. If such
precautions are taken for "a months
there will be no need for fear Of the
disease.
As for cotton seed meal as food
for COWS it has no equal provided
it is not damaged and it is fed in
reasonable amounts.
l will also say that man or AMI
NAL is likely to at any time have the
germ or organism in his system
which will cause an infectious dis
ease, but in the meantime, be in
Perfect health, and able to resist its
Power of action. That is very likely
why the COWS that were fed cotton
seed meal died with Texas fever.
The meal was fed in an unwise
manner which caused the animals
to have lowered vitality and fail
to resist the action of the disease.
The Fairwold farms and Taylor's
dairy in Columbia feed hundreds
of herd of cattle on cotton seed
meal and don't have Texas fever.
Why? Because the tick is not pres
ent.
For further information I will
refer Mr.. Garnett to Freidberger
and Frahner's book on contagious
diseases of the horse and cow. Vol
ume No. l. or DR.. r. O. Feely,

The Democratic D onkey.

The Democratic Donkey
Is now braying loud.
For the clover fields are blooming,
And the sky's without cloud.
He winks his eye at Wilson,
Flops his ears at Clark,
Switches his tail at Underwood
And gallops over the park.
But soon November will come,
Then where will he be?
With cookie burrs all in his tail,
And spawn on his knee.
His loud braying then will stop
For four years or more,
He will limp into his stable
Feeling very lame and sore.
The Plutocrats may tell him,
Just you wait awhile
The clover will yet bloom again,
And then you can once more smile"
Wilson, Clark and underwood,
Will be out at first,
Then you Can play the fool again,
By bringing out Willie Hearst" "
Perhaps Mr.. Taft or Roosevelt,
Will feed you some hay.
Pick the burrs from your name
| and tail,
And smile when you try to bray. 4"
Poor donkey what future,
So hopeless and so dark,
No ray of light through Under
wood,
No hope of feeding by Clark.
No antidote for SPAWN
By DR.. Wilson sold
So try to stand it poor donkey,
Until your feet feels the cold.
Of one thing you may be sure,
Tho, you eat your fill,
Through the sunshine on the
shadows,
You will be donkey still.
