DISEASE AMONG CATTLE.

. We are beginning to receive re-
ports of some disease that spread
over the entire State last fall, Myco-
tic Stoma tits, or Sore Mouth and
feet of cattle. This is a disease caus-
ed by eating feed containing irritat-
ing fungi. which causes an inflama-
tory condition of the mouth, tongue,
nostrils, udder and teats.
THE CAUSE The disease is the
result of cattle eating feed contain
ing irritating fungi, the fungi is
usually found on the grasses during
an unusually hot, wet season, i'm
mediately after heat and moisture
being conducive to its growth.
SYMPTOMS-The first symptom
usually noticed is a dripping OF saliva
from the mouth, inability 20 Craze,
sill ggishness OF the cattle, a slight
stiffness Of gate and inclination to
lie down most of time. Upon maxi
ing careful examination, the muc-
Gus membrane would be found in
famed and red, or, if the disease
has progressed far enough, small
ulcers may be found. The first por-
ton usually affected is the dental
pad, which takes the place of the
front teeth in the upper jaw; this
becomes inflamed and raw, conse-
quently, the cattle are unable to
Craze, not being able TO cut the
grass blades, but could eat feed al
ready cut. From this point, if not
properly treated, the inflammation will
spread until tie entire mouth and
tongue are involved, becoming raw
making it impossible for the cattle
to eat anything. In some cases the
outer portion Of tile lips and nostrlls
are involved.
In mich cattle, there is great de-
crease in the milk flow, heavy milk
ers may completely dry up in a few
days. Small red spots may be seeu
in the udder and teats. A tempera
ture of los F. to 197 F. is frequent
ly seen. If the feet are examined
carefully small red spots or ulcer:
may be seen at the top of the hoo
or between the toes.
TREATMENT-lf the affected
animals are on pasture they snouie
be moved to some place where thes
can be properly treated ana fed OF
bran, bran mashes, or other essil,

the conductor waving his arms more

She reached the train, and the con-

Electric Baggage Trucks.

The use of the baggage truck haul
ed or pushed by human muscle is no,
longer used by many progressive rail
road and steamship companies. The
new idea is low deck, heavily built,
four wheel, storage battery driven,
platform truck which moves the
trunks and bags Of travellers in
quantity and at a rate Of speed which,
consists with the modern transporta.
tation Of the passengers themselves.
One truck of the new type, operated
by the baggageman standing on
small platform at the end, has rated
capacity of 1000 pounds and is geared
for three speeds, the maximum being
eight miles per hour empty and six
miles per hour loaded. These little
giants of transportation are finding
favor also in mail handling and in com.
mercial warehouse work. The eff
cheney in handling mail bags, for ex.
ample, is shown by the fact that an,
electric truck can make five trips with
load of two tons in the time re-
quired for hand truck to make four
trips with a one ton load; in other
terms, a single electric truck does,
the work of two and one-half hand
trucks.

THIS SENATOR AvERSE To ARBITRATION

In stating his position regarding

through the liberal appropriation Of
funds by the American congress, and,
above all, 1t is constructed upon
American territory, and l am amazed
that anybody should have the hardi-
hood to contend that it should not be
administered by American law.
I'VE should not lose sight Of the
fact that even II we were willing to
submit this domestic question to an
arbitral court 1t would be impossible
to find anywhere an impartial tri.
bunal to try 1t.
"Nominslly, the case as 1t stands

penalties attached for disobedience,

happens, and lastly on a reasonable
reduction of speed, both of engines
and of men.

MAY RECALL HAAKON, KING OF NORWAY

Norway is rapidly losing favor. And
judged by the same source Of in
formation, 1t seems apparent he will
soon be discouraged by the Storthing

Just after Haakon left Norway
early in December, with Queen Maud
and Prince Olaf, for London, to do
their Christmas shopping, the Repub-
lican party introduced bill into the
Storthing abolishing all decorations.
This bill is certain to be passed,
and as the power to confer decora-
tons is the only privilege enjoyed by
the king without securing the sane
ton Of his ministers, the force of the
intended legislative attack is obvious.
Almost Immediately prior to the
introduction of the bill Haakon con-
ferred the grand cross Of St. Olaf on
