President Mckinley at last advised
war with Spain. and he got war with
Spain. in order to end an intolerable con-
dition of affairs which, otherwise, as ne
believed. would have been indefinitely
prolonged; and cuba was no more of a
menace to our peace than Mexico has
been the past 80 years. Was the condi-
ton Of affairs in Cuba ANY Of our bust
ness?" Is the condition OF affairs in
Mexico ANY Of our business?" The two
questions answer themselves. Mexico Is
a contiguous country. and If It's domestic
hroils are a constant menace to our
peace" our government cannot possibly
be Indifferent to them.
The Republican has never favored arm
ed intervention in Mexico; and President
Wilson, while dealing with situation in
many respects as complex and difficult
as was the Cuban situation In McKinley's
time, has not favored the forcible pacih-
cation Of the neighboring country by
American troops He has succeeded thus
| far in keeping out of war. and through
his delegates at Niagara is striving to
lay the bases Of the pacncation of Mex
leo by diplomatic methods. 1nasmuch AZ
Mexican revolutions are a menace 10
this country's peace and inasmuch a an
important cause Of Mexican revolutions
is the present land system, President Will
son would prove his own Incompetence
did he not use his influence to promote
agrarian reform in tho adjoining coun-
try when the opportunity is presented to

LOSS OF STOCK ENORMOUS.
r. +. BROWN.
Acknowledgement.

That at least one-twentieth of all the
stock bred on the open range of the West
dies before IL reaches market age and
that much Of this loss can be stopped is
shown by results reported from the ma
tional forests. This waste Is said to add
millions of dollars TO the peoples meat
bill and gives one more cause of the high
cost Of living. Winter storms and sum
mer droughts etrcw the ranges with the
bones OF cattle and sheep; predatory an
imals take heavy toll: poisonous plants
sometimes kill half the animals in herd
almost over night. Cattle contract an
thrax, blackleg and other diseases, get
stuck In bog holes, slip off icy hillsides;
and sheep pile up and die of suffocation.
Insects which madden and kill swell the
total Losses as do multitude of other
minor causes OF death and injury.
HOW DISEASE Is PREVENTED.
If any of the animals to be graZed up
on a national forest seem to be suffering
from disease. the stock Is subjected to
rigid inspection by the federal bureau Of
animal industry before II IL allowed to
enter the forest. II an animal grazing
on the forest develops suspicious symp-
toms the permttee is requested to remove
It. The carcasses of animals dying from
| infectious or communicable diseases must
| be buried or burned, preferably the lat
| ter. To protect their stock against black
| leg permittees are encouraged to use
vaccine furnished free by the department
of agriculture Sheep suffering from scab
or from lip and leg disease are barred
from the forests until they have been
treated In conformity with the require
ments OF the bureau of animal industry.

reaus has made II possible to keep the

LOSSES FROM POISON UNPREVENT-
ABLE.

Notwithstanding all precautions which
may be taken against stock poisoning,
losses from this source must be expect
ed During the past several years the
bureau of plant industry has been making
n study of poisonous plants and OF anti
dotes. In the case Of lark spur, for eX-
ample. the bureau has determined meth
DDS of treatment which are reasonably
successful, under normal conditions
The only difficulty has been that the an
finals suffering from poison are generally
out upon the open range and may not
be observed by their owner until it Is
too late TO apply an antldote. The for
est service has therefore arranged to
meet this situation in an experimental
way by equippng a limited number of
rangers with hypodermic syringes and
the necessary chemicals. Armed with this
equipment a forest officer can in a few
moments administer a treatment which
may save $40 steer.

STOCK KILLED BY WILD BEASTS.

SlOCh HlblItl' by WILD BEASTS.
The settlement and development of the
West does not appear to have greatly
reduced the number of animals which
prey upon domestic live stock and the
loss from that source alone runs into tho
millions of dollars each year Within the
forests. however, the number of domestic
animals killed has been appreciahlv re-
duced by the campaign against wild ami
mails waged by the officers Of the ser
vice. During the past eight years forest
officers have killed over 5000 predatory
animals, consisting OF coyotes, wolves
bear mountain lion, wild cats. lynx, etc
The losses due to poisonous plants have
been in the aggregate the most numerous
and the most difficult to guard against.
Stockmen knew generally that certain
flats or valleys or hillside slopes could
not be used for grazing without heavy
losses of stock, but there was much
doubt as to what caused the loss Grad
ualy It was determined that the losses
were due to various species of plants.
Later, it was learned that in most in
stances these plants while extremely poi
sonous during certain periods of the
year, were comparatively innoxious dur
ing the remainder Of the grazing season.
The forest officers determined the various
plant species which cause death or in
jury of live stock. the periods during
which each species is dangerous, and the
areas of forest land upon which the
plants are sufficiently abundant to cause
losses of stock The next step was to
devise ways and means of preventing the
losses. Where definite information is OBJ
tainable the outer limits Of the poison
areas are marked by warning placards
which give the name of the poisonous
plant the kind Of stock to which it is
Injurious, and the period during which it
is most harmful. With this warning,
stockmen are enabled to so handle their
stock as to prevent the occupancy of the
poison area during its danger period. In
cases where the areas of poisonous plants
are comparatively small the permttees
have been encouraged to fence them. ma
te1al for fence construction being fur
nished free OF charge by the forest SER
vice. The result of this work has been
to reduce the number of animals lost
through poisonous plants as compared to
the numbers lost several years previous
ly.
