Free Vaccine For BIackle2.

The Kentucky Agricultural Expert

the prevention of blackleg, which has
caused so much destruction among cat
tie and horses in Kentucky in recent
years, can be obtained free of charge on
application to the station, at Lexington.
This vaccine is prepared by the U. S
Bureau of Animal Industry and is ac-
companied by detailed information for
its application.
Meanwhile the equipment for the man.

is always desirable TO cover the bottom

cautions may, under certain conditions,
be impracticsble to the farmer and in
this emergency vaccination becomes an
immediate necessity.
As the result of Investigations carried
on by French scientists it has been found
that when a very small quantity of the
muscle juice from an animal dead from
blackieg is injected beneath the skin OF
susceptible cattle, an INN unity is es-
tablished which protects them against
subsequent NEGOTIATIONS of larger guam
titles of highly virulent matter. Its on
this principle that the vaccine injection
is used in controlling disease.

WILSON DOMINATES.

TheWashington Post in summing up the result of election pre-
sents the matter in rather pointed article which is here repro
duced.
President Wilson is too big a man to shrink from the responsible
iy for the crushing reverse suffered by the Democratic party.
Credit for all that the party has done was justly due him, and
responsibility for the disaster is equally his.
Mr.. Wilson originated the party's policies, selected his lieuten-
ants in Congress, sienced protests within the ranks, set aside all
policies proposed by other democrats, and forced the enactment of
laws which he approved.
He controlled Congress absolutely. He went to the Capitol per-
sonally and told Congress what he wanted it to do. 1t did exactly
what he told it to do, and refrained from doing what he forbade.
No Congress in the history of the government was ever so complete
ly dominated. had no will of its own. It took orders from Wood
row Wilson, and from no one else.
There were honest and able Democrats in Congress who did not
agree with MI. Wilson on his extreme tariff program. They may
have protested to him. If so, they were under suspicion at once
as would-be insurgents. Their wise admonitions were ignored,
and they were coerced into supporting a measure which they knew
would bring disaster to the party.
Very few Democrats in the House OF Senate were in favor of
tolls repeal. They privately expressed dissent, and protested
against the policy Of taxing American shipping in the American
canal at Panama. But the arbitrary will of the master was inn
posed upon them. They were compelled to obey, or run the risk
of being charged with party disloyalty. MI. Wilson was the party
and the only policies which it had were his policies. He could see
no patriotism in any Democrat who ventured to disagree with his
views.
tax measure. They forsaw a vigorous rebuke from the people it
a tax were imposed upon them under the guise of a war tax, which
in reality was a tax to make up a deficit caused by unwise tariff
legislation. Their advice was not only unheeded, but they found
themselves branded as suspects. An Democrat who disagreed with
the President was a traitor in the camp: 49,.
Under the apparently smooth surface Of Democratic politics was
an utter lack of harmony. Democrats whose loyalty to the party
had been tested in many a hard fought battle were sick at heart
when they saw their party headed for disaster under the iron
rule Of the White House; Other men, ealing themselves selves Demo EN-
Gratis, fawned before the President and induced him to write letters
in their behalf, risking his personal popularity for their sake:
The outcome of it all is a terrible rebuke to the President
a practical comand from the people to about-face on domestic pol
ices. His control of the House has been wen-nigh annihilated;
Insurgency is in the air. Democrats are asking why they should
be silent when their party is committed to ruinous policies" They

if he wants to and no one objects.
