BLIND sTAGGERS

In the past years horses have
died by the thousands in Texas,
Iowa. Missouri. Illinois, Kansas
and Nebraska from a disease known
as blind staggers or forage poison
ing. Last year the disease was
more prevalent than ever before.
Investigators of the United States
department of agri eulture have
practically established that this
horse disease a he cured effective
ly only by a total change of feed
and forage. These Investigators say
that it is quite obvious that there is
a direct connection between the
green forage, exposed pasturage and
newly cut hay or fodder which the
horses eat, and this cerebro-spinal
meningitis as the disease is known
to science. In fact eating of such
forage when contaminated is un-
douhtedly the most important cause.
Over 95 per cent Of the cases of
this disease in Kansas and Nebraska
during the outbreak in 1912 were
maintained under such conditions
Great care must be taken that the
horses do not obtain the dangerous
forage unknown to their owners.
About 80 per cent of the affected
animals die. While medical treat
ment in the vast majority of the
cases has not brought results never.
theless if it used at all it must be
prompt and before the disease has
time to run. The first and most
important thing to remembers is to
avoid risk Of disease IN the first
place by feeding your horses only
clean %well-cured forage and grain
and pure water.

STANDARD SILVER or COLO

Standard silver or gold is not of
uniform composition. but its base
metal content is controlled by local
regulation. The American standard
for both gold and silver admits of
an addition of 10 per cent of other
metals. Standard gold carries l per
cent silver and 9 per cent copper,
snd the standard silver 10 per cent
copper. British standard gold con-
tains 22 parts Of gold per "a, which
is locally designed as % carat.
With standard silver the carat pro-
portions are also used in calculating
base content, although the term
carat" is not used in designating
the silver fneness. Bullion if often
sold in England and the colonies at
so much per ounce standard gold,
the price including the proportion
of silver found in standard gold.
And additional silver content is
paid for at the ruling price of the
metal.-Mining and Scientific

The feeling and intention Of the
government in this matter are not
based on politics. They 10 much
deeper than that. They are based
on q genuine friendship for the
Mexican people anda profound In
terest in the establishment of
their constitutional system.
Whatever unhappy circumstances
or necessities arise this object will
be held steadily in view and pur-
sued with consistent purpose SO far
as this government is concerned.
But we r dealing with facts.
Whatever and whenever the dignity
of the United States is f1outed. its
international rights or the rights of
its citizens invaded or its influence
rebuffed where it has the right to
attempt to exercise it this govern
ment must deal with those actually
in control. 1t is now dealing with
Gen. Huerta in the territory he now
controls. That he does not right
fully control it does not alter the
fact that he does control it. We are
dealing, moreover, only with those
whom he commands and those who
come to his support. With these
we must deal. They do not law
fully represent the people of Next
co. On that fact we rejoice, be-
cause our quarrel is not with the
Mexican people and we don't desire
to dictate their affairs.
But we must enforce out rightful
demands on those whom the exist
ing authorities at the place where
we act do for the time being, repre-

The MEXICAN SITUATION

The Mexican situation looks bet
ter today than late reports yesterday
indicated. General Villa was then
quoted as saying that he could land
$4,000 men in Ell Paso inside of
48 hours and "teach the Gringues q
lesson" This report turns out to be
a fake. Today Villa is reported as
visiting Ell Paso and declaring that
under no circumstances would
he join Huerta's forces in fighting
the Americans. He said Carranza
made a mistake in sending his note
to President Wilson and called
Huerta a drunken bum. If Villa
was sincere in his statements, he
shows a level head.
