Good food, laxatives, strychnine for
cattle and Fowler's solution for horses
are recommended as remedies. All
parts of the plant are poisonous. 1t
is from six inches to a foot in height
with flowers that vary from pure
white to shades of purple and pink.
The larkspur on the other hand af-
fects only cattle. There are two COM
mon varieties-the tall larkspur Gig.
- and the low larkspur. The tall lark
spur grows from three to seven feet
in height and the low from six inches
to one and one-half feet. The flowers
of both are violet-blue and purple. All
parts of the plant are poisonous, but
after it has blossomed the poisonous
properties are lost. 1t is most to be
feared, therefore, in spring and early
summer. The first symptoms are re-
peated falling, accompanied by such
weakness that the animal is unable to
rise for some time. When on it's feet
1t staggers. Nausea and vomiting
come later and death from respiratory
paralysis is apt to be the outcome.
The affected animals should be kept
still with their heads up hill and hypo-
dermic injections of eserine and
whisky administered.

Spiders Wonderful Web.

The spider is SO repulsive as to

upon it. and it is of no use in the
world except for destruction of flies
and other detestable insects, all max

spiders can exterminate. The house.
wife and all the rest of mankind may
execrate the flies, but they would
rather have a million flies than one
spider; yet this infinitely disgusting
creation of incomprehensible nature
produces thread and with magical ia
cility filings it into wonderful web
forms which battle all explanation of
the geometrician.
Few of the curiosities of the myriad
insect world are so marvellous as the
spinning of the spider and the silk.
worm. Many attempts have been made
to utilize the spider for the produc.
ton Of silk. but the worm remains
the almost absolute monopolist, though
artificial silks are made from cotton
and other material by an expensive
treatment which are claimed to be
equal to the real article in luster
and elasticity.

NEW ROCKFORD Is HOPEFUL
Citizens Plan Campaign to Secure
State capitaI-May Get Asylum
For Insane.

New Rockford.-To sidetrack New
Rockford's ambition to land the state
capital by giving 1t state hospital for
the insane, is the latest development in
capital removal agitation. It is stated
that interests friendly to the retention
of the capital at Bismarck have sug.
gested to New Rockford people that
such substitution might be made and
the support Of Bismarck and surround.
Ing territory counted upon.
The state is planning another hos.
pital for the insanue to relieve over.
crowded conditions at Jamestown. Mi.
not, Williston, Towner, Rugby and
other towns have been in the race for
the new institution.
While some New Rockford citizens
are inclined to listen to the alleged
overtures as being the easiest way to
capture a state institution, the ma.
jority is Of the opinion that the better
plan is to continue the campaign for
the capital.
One Of the results of the agitation
for state capital removal is the pos.
sibility of securing the 500 for New
Rockford. As It already has the Great
Northern and Northern Pacific, the ad.
addition of the 500 would make it easily
accessible to residents of all sections
of North Dakota.

Sheep find the lupine particularly
dangerous. This plant Gig. ~ grows
from one to two feet in height with
flowers of light blue or blue.violet.
All pods and seeds are poisonous in
the late summer or fall. Sheep suffer-
ing from lupine poisoning, show nerv-
BUSINESS and weakness. They become
unduly sleepy and suffer from partial
paralysis and are ultimately taken
with commissions which lead to death.
The zygandenus, or death camas
Gig. 81 is also particularly dangerous
to sheep, but it affects horses and cat
tie as well. All parts of the plant are
poisonous but the seed especially so.
Frothing at the mouth, vomiting,
trembling, with spasmodic gasping for
breath are symptoms of this poison
ing. 1t is not unusual for the animal
to lie for days before death relieves
1t. The color of the flower is greenish
yellow, the plant growing from four
inches to one and one.half feet in
height.
If stockmen will familiarize them
selves with the appearance of these
plants and with the symptoms that
they cause it is believed that they can
safeguard their herds from them
without serious difficulty. Bulletins
describing in detail some of the plants
have already been issued by the
United States department of agricul-
ture and will be sent free on appfica-
ton while the departments supply
lasts. The plants already described
are those which it is most necessary
to avoid.

about ten times the investment.
Sixteen million dollars worth Of

recommendations, among them the fol-
lowing:
A modern tax system; the classical
ton of property for taxation purposes,
such as the Minnesota system.
Appointment Of county assessors,
abolishing township assessors.
Taxation of foreign corporations by
corporate excess plan or business lic-
ense tax. North Dakota now secures
only 1900 by such tax.
Enactment of law permitting the as
easements of intangibles at low rate,
which will bring such intangible prop

Taxation of foreign capital in state
now without taxable property.
Valuation of railroads by experts for
taxation purposes.
Appraisal of public utility corpora

Reduction of city property assess
ments and of assessments of some
farm lands.

NO NEED TO FEAR MEAT

cannot leave the establishment until
1t has been carefully examined and

In all these establishments no animal
showing any symptoms whatever of
foot-and-mouth disease is allowed to
go to slaughter, and no meat which, on
! post-mortem inspection, shows any sus-
picious symptoms of this complaint can
be shipped out of the establishment
All meat suspected of coming from an
animal suffering with this complaint is
sent, under government seal, to the
tanks to be rendered into fertilizer.
The federal inspection stamp on meat,
therefore, means that it is entirely
safe.
The federal government, however,
has no jurisdiction over local slaughter
houses which do not ship meat outside
of the state in which it is slaughtered
If, however, meat from such an animal
did escape from one of these local
slaughter houses. which are purely un-
der state or municipal control, all dan
ger of it's communicating the disease
to human beings would be removed
when it is thoroughly cooked and ster-
flized. Those who are located near
an infected region and wish to be alb
solutely certain of the safety Of their
meat should cook it thoroughly.
The disease when contracted by
adults is not at all serious illness. 1t
commonly takes the form of slight
fever sores in the mouth and slight
eruption on the fingers. In the case
of small or sickly children, 1t may take
a more serious form, especially il com.
plicated by other illnesses.

Thorough Cooking Of Uninspected
Meat Will Render II Safe From
Foot-and-Mouth Infection.

Prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture.
According to the specialists of the
department of agriculture people, even
In states quarantined for the foot-and-
mouth disease, need have no fear of
eating meat, provided they cook it
thoroughly. The foot-and-mouth dis
ease is not easily communicated to
human beings through food, although
milk from diseased COW might trans
NIT the disease to human being. In
the case of milk, however, pasteuriza-
ton will render it entirely safe. HUI.
man beings who do get the disease
commonly get it from direct contact
with sick animal. 1t is wisest, there.
fore, for people to keep away from all
animals having the disease, unless
they are properly provided with rub.
Der gloves. coats and boots, and these
are thoroughly disinfected after eacf
visit to the animals.
In the case of meat, as in the case
of milk, it must be remembered that
all herds which actually show the dis
ease are quarantined, and neither milk
nor meat from the sick animals can be
sold. Sixty per cent of the meat used
in this country is produced in nearly
900 federally inspected slaughterine
and packing establishments located ir
24O cities. In these establishments
