TO HELP CURE HORSES
GREEN FORAGE GIVEN AS CAUSE
OF BLIND sTAGGERs.
Change Of Diet Will Heal Disease, Ac-
cording 20 Statement Issued BY
Department Of Agriculture.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Washingtcn.-Bec of the wide
spread prevalence of blind staggers."
a disease which is causing the death
OF thousands of horses. the Depart
ment of Agriculture issued state
ment outlining methods for combating
the malady, Urgent appeals for as
sistance have been received by the
department from no less than sixteen
states, showing the universality OF
the disease. The states include the
following:
Colorado. Missouri. Nebraska. Ore
gon and South Dakota.
In past years, according to the de-
partment. horses have died by the
thousands in Texas. Iowa, Kansas and
Nebraska from disease affecting the
nervous system popularly known as
blind staggers,' or forage poison
ing" Kansas and Nebraska bore the
brunt of the affliction during the past
year. but ether states have also suf-
fered seriously. Additional deaths, it
is stated, have undoubtedly been due
to fake cures"
The disease. the department says
can be controlled effectively only by
a total change of feed and forage. ut
is quite obvious" 1t declares, 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
scientists. In fact. eating of such
forage when contaminated is undoubt-
edly the most important cause. Over
95 per cent of gases of this disease in
Kansas and Nebraska during the out
break of 1912 were maintained under
fsuch conditions"
Great care, it is urged, should be
taken that horses do not obtain the
dangerous forage unknown to theil
owners.

Denver. March 3.--New York and
other eastern cities are ice-bound, 2S
persons have lost their lives in the
gales and SHOWS that have covered
the eastern coast and the fate of 5000
persons on the storm-swept sea are
uncertain.
The damage to property, including
railroads, telegraphs. shipg and private

the East was almost entirely dis
rupted Monday.
Colorado enjoyed the benefits of a
light snow which gave way to clear
sunshine.
Trains are stalled in the East tele-
graphic communication is interrupted
and many vessels are long overdue.
The heaviest snowfall since 1888, ac-
companied by a gale exceeding ~

Denver Monday was merely local, add

moving toward Texas.
Several tragedies already are
known TO have accompanied the
eastern gale. Near Hazelton. Pa,

ney. 90 years old, in aNsleigh. to seek
help for her. When rescuers found
her she was frozen to death.
1t is believed the schooner Unity

forced to put in at Shelbourne with

according to estimates. The first
steamer to arrive was more than 26
hours late.
Schools were closed in northern
New York. New Jersey. Maryland
and Pennsylvania. The necessary
closing OF factories threw thousands
of men and women out of work. Dam
ages to the telegraphic fire alarm sys-
TENS placed New York, Newark and
other cities in grave danger of con-
flagrations.
The number of known dead as the
result OF the storm is twenty-eight-
ten in the New York district and
eighteen in Pennsylvania. because of
the loss of tugs on the coast 1t is
certain that the number will be in
creased when full reports are re-
ceived.

Nogales, Sonora, Mex. March p
Gen. Carranza declined Saturday to
give information to the State Depart
ment at Washington regarding the
killing at Juarez of the British sub
ject, William s. Benton. At the
same time he gave assurances to Sec
retary Bryan that he would investi
gate the disappearance near Juarez OF
Gustav Bauch, an American citizen.
This strongly defiant stand came
after three days of negotiation be
tween the American secretary of state
and the Constitutionalist commander
in chief, through Frederick Simpich,
American consul at Nogales, and Ysi-
dro Fabela. acting secretary of for
eign relations in Carranza's provis-
ional Cabinet.
Until then General Carranza had re-
ma.ned silent regarding his stand on
the request of Secretary Bryan made
three days ago for information of Ben
tons death.
Another message arrived from Sec
retary Bryan in which he requested
immediate Information about the dis
appearance of Bauch. CarranZa's re-
plies were made to both queries at the
same time and in the form of docu-
ments translated into English.
The stand was taken by the revolu-
tionary leader that the death OF Ben
ton. a Briton. should be taken up
through the diplomatic channels of his
country.
The fact that England has recog-
nized the Huerta central government
was not mentioned in the document.
but occasioned much speculation
among those familiar with the situa-
ton.
Carranza, in his reference to the
Benton case, pointedly remarked that
Bryans original message had been the
first official mention of the matter
brought to his attention as directing
head of the revolution.
Commissioners Denied Admission.
Juarez, Mex.@The Benton investi-
eating commission Sunday was pre-
vented from proceeding to Chihuahua
to examine the slain Britons body by
rebel orders. Col Fidel Avila, mill
tary commander here. declined to per
NIT them to board the regular passen-
ger train which was waiting An au-
thoritatlve admission to this effect
dispelled reports that the commission
was halted on orders from Washing
ton. Whether the incident means de-
lay or the permanent prohibition of
the mission could not be learned. The
order came as a surprise to the com
missioners. Villa at Chihuahua has
repeatedly expressed his desire to
hasten the inquiry, and his offer of a
special train to take the mission from
this city to chihuahua. where Ben
tons body is said to be buried, was
formally accepted by Marion Letcher

SOME TAX FIGURES FOR coD1NeroN.

The tax for purely state purposes on farm lands
In Codington county for 1906 averaged So. 26 per quar-
ter section throughout the county. The tax for purely
state purposes against farm lands in Codington county
for 1913 averages throughout the county Sc .16 per
quarter section, an increase of So 80 per quarter sec
ton, or two hundred and seventytwo per cent.
Getting at it in another way: The total consoli-
dated tax paid by the farm lands of Codington county
for 1906 was $59,O57 so; the total consolidated tax on
farm lands for Codington county for 1913 is $780,
O74.53. This is an increase in seven years of $~5O,O16.53
or an average increase of $40. 90 for each and every
quarter section of farm land in the county.
In the first paragraph hereof we are dealing only in
state taxes, for purely state purposes. The local
taxes have nothing whatever to do with it. There are,
in round numbers, 2,605 quarter sections in Codington.
An increase of 1890 per quarter section throughout
the county represents Il total increase taxed against
Codington county farms for purely state ~purposes) Of
$lO,1595O
That represents but the average increase through
out the state. Let the sponsors for high taxes explain
it if they can.
