the conservation and regulation of
the water supply, Mr.. Lawson is UNI
mistakably correct in saying that
these mountains and steep hills should
not be cleared. The government is
taking cognizance of the value of
the wooded mountains and hills as
regulators of the water supply. Our
streams have their sources in springs.
Springs are created and fed by the
surface water falling on the hills and
land, and soaking into the ground.
Falling leaves, decaying mould, rot
ting logs, tree roots and all hold back
the water, giving time for it to soak
in and percolate into and through
the soil, feeding the springs and
streams gradually during the years.
But, unchecked, the water rushes
from the hills, floods the streams and
is gone, carrying along with it Il
large amount of soil, and generally
leaving deep gullies in its wake.
So, it would seem, at n glance, that
Mr.. Lawson is correct in his conten-
ton, that the hills and mountain
sides should not be dismantled of
their trees. The readers of this pa
per will be glad to have Mr.. Law
sons views further on the subject.

last issue of the Stockman and Farm

bit of information:
"a certain man on the hunt for
calves, learned that n widow woman,
living down the road, had nice calf
for sale. He drove down, and was inr-
formed by the widow that her price
was $500 for the calf. He looked
the calf over, shook his head and Of
fered $500 for it. The owner de-
clined the offer. The buyer jumped
into his buggy and started away in "a
hurry. The needy widow called him
back and told him to take the calf
at his price. He did so, took it home,
fed it up little, butchered it, sold
the meat for $1,000 and had the
hide and certain other parts besides.
The buyer is complimented on his

BLIND STAGGERS IN HORSES.

Within the past few years thous-
ands of horses have died of what is
called blind staggers. According to
a bulletin recently issued by the gov
eminent, the scientific name of the
disease is ccrebro-s spinal miningitis,
and is not the result of eating the
stagger-weed", as most people have
always believed, but is caused from
eating moldy baled hay, impure
green forage, moldy corn, etc, which
the animal takes into its stomach.
Contaminated forage and feed of any
kind is likely to produce the trouble.
The staggering is due, says the bull
letin, to impaired and affected vision
caused by the poison.
Over 80 per cent of the horses with
this disease in Kansas and Nebraska
died in 1912. Treatment of the dis
ease must be prompt A thorough
purging and cleaning of the digestive
tract is the first thing to do, and then
send for the doctor. 1t will be well
for horse owners to send TO the De-
partment at Washington for Bulletin
No. 60.
The question here is: is there such
n thing as stagger-weed in this sec
ton which is known to produce "blind
staggcrs?" We would like to have
the views OF the readers of this paper

GOVERNOR HANNA
(Farao 8earchliaht Republican, }

The candidacy of Governor
Hanna for reelection is more
than pleasing to the old style DO
.litical machine. and he has COM
mended himself by his admimis-
tration to it.. He was faithful to
the machine in his veto of the tax
commission bill. in his veto of the
bill in reference to the settlement
with railroads for personal injury
within thirty days after injury.
He has been faithful generally to
the old machine. and as member
of the state board of equalization
he has been faithful to the Big
Interests in standing against in
crease in railroad assessments
and in also standing for the gen
eral levy because it is through the
general levy that the political ma
chine can be favored.
Beyond question it would seem
that Hanna is for a new capitol
commission because the republi-
can platform declared for the sale
Of school. institutional and CAPT.
toll lands each year. for the sole"
purpose as the platform declares
lof lOaning to farmers on farm
lands the money realized. while
Hanna knows and the men who
drafted the platform know that
the money from the capitol lands
cannot be loaned on farms. nor
can it be used for any other pur-
lpose than capitol purposes, but
this wording Of the platform was
clearly. it would seem. to catch
the farmers as suckers. Besides
the fact should be remembered
that only one-third of the ap-
praised value of land can he loan
ed under the state under the con-
stitution. and any farmer that can
put I'D one hundred per cent farm
security for loan of one-third
