THE TAILORS
OF TOXIC

Citizens Of Chicago are finding IN
their mails circulars from tailors IN
Japan offering mems clothes at prices
which are far below any that can be
quoted by any department store in
Chicago. The clothes from Japan are
not ready made. but are to be fashion
ed for each customer-who has only
IN send an old shirt. from which the
clever japanese tailors will construct
the entire man who is TO be clothed.
Two elements unite to make this
offer possible. The first is the low
rate of wages prevailing in the tailor
ing industry in Japan, where the
standard of living may be compared
with that of America as between a
handful of rice and a beefsteak. The
second is the tariff duty on mems
clothing as established by the Demo
cratic tariff law. The Republican
tariff law, which the Democrats swept
from the statute books, provided m
pie protection for American tallors
through duties which ranged from 80
TO "A cents a pound. specific, plus from
so to 60 per cent advalorem. The Dem
ocratic tariff law wiped out the spe-
cihc duties altogether, and reduced
the ad valorem duties TO a fat IS per
cent.
In consequence the tailors of Toxic
can sell clothing to a man in Chicago
at a price lower than any Chicago
tailor or clothing manufacturer IAN
duplicate.
If the tailors of Chicago want to
avert the competition of the tailors of
Toxic, they should see to it that their
influence is exerted to restore the Re
publicans to power. Republican tariffs
are mol drawn to extend the trade OF
the tailors OF Toxic.

CHARACTERISTIC LO0SENESS
OF LANGUAGE

There is good cause for the resent
ment the veterinary surgeons feel
over the language used by the Depart
ment OF Commerce in the controversy
regarding the appointment of E. Les
ter Jones as chief of the Coast and
Geodetic Survey. Mr.. Hughes spoke
In complimentary terms Of Mr.. Jones'
abilities as a veterinarian, but criti-
cized his appointment Is head of the
Survey. In its statement concerning
the appointment the Department said:
HE never was a veterinary sur
geon. He is a gentleman of edu-
cation and refinement"
OF course the Department did not
mean to i~nsinuate that a veterinary
surgeon could not be a gentleman OF
education and refinement, but its Ian
guage carries that inference. The in
cident is fairly illustrative of the care
lessness which has largely contrib
uted to the failure of this administra-
ton. A department head who would
let an expression like that slip by,
would also make similar mistakes in
far more important matters. 1t was
Just that sort Of carelessness in the
use of language that led President
Wilson to write Germany that he
would hold that nation to a strict ac-
countability." when he had no inten-
ton of doing any such thing. Similar
~looseness is found in nearly all the
correspondence with both Germany
and Mexico. The Wilson administra-
ton is prolific but not proficient in
the use of words.

Was anyone summarily discharged
from the State Department for solicit
ing contributions to purchase a watch
for Mr.. Bryan? Mr.. Bryan's ostensible
for resigning from the Cabinet
was his disapproval of the German
note. Since that time he has been a
staunch supporter of President Will
sons underwriting policy. Must we
finally and reluctantly conclude from
all this that Bill resigned in order to
get the watch? Did the Great Pacifist
prefer a time-piece to a world peace?

drinking water where animals can very we'll eat them and thus become infected. The hog is particularly liable 1 to this disease because of it's roofing habits. The eggs may get into hu- man food, and persons who allow dogs to lick their hands and face also run the risk of getting the eggs of the tapeworm in their systems.
 Prevention on the farm consists in so restraining the dog that he cannot get at carrion or raw viscera. Viscera should be boiled before being fed to dogs and should never be thrown on the fields. If not cooked and fed, wis cera and carcasses should be burned, buried with lime, or so disposed of as not to be accessible to dogs Proper feeding of the dog is essential and the owner who does not feed dog prop erly has no right to keep one.
 The parasite which causes gid in sheep somewhat resembles the hyda- tid worm. A dog allowed to eat the brain of giddy sheep may swallow this parasite and later distribute the eggs of the resulting tapeworm over the pasture. Sheep while grazing swallow the eggs with the grass which they eat. In the case of sheep dogs 1t is important to administer vermi- fuges often enough to keep them free of these worms. In the case of sheep measles, the bladder worm in the meat, typical of this disease, is swal- lowed by the dog and again the tape worm eggs are passed by the dog to grass or water and there are eaten by sheep.
 Of the external parasites which dogs may carry to animals, fieas and the various kinds of ticks are both troublesome and dangerous The remedy is clear The owner must keep his dog clean, not merely for the comfort and happiness of the dog, but to prevent it from becoming 9 carrier of disagreeable and dangerous vermin. These reasonable measures, impor- tant to the stock on the farm, have direct connection with the health of the family. Where ringworm or other skin diseases break out among the children, or the worm parasites devel- op, it is well to determine whether a dirty or uncared-for dog may not be carrying infection on his skin or hair, or be conveying disease from carrion directly to the food and persons of his friends. Even if no one is infected with disease, the folly of allowing a dog to remain dirty and have the free dom of home where personal clean liness and hygiene are respected is ap- parent.

| F'ronl Weekly Letter, United States De- partment of Agrculture.)
 The dog in the country is a useful and pleasant adjunct to the farm if he is properly controlled and cared for. come a carrier of disease to stock, in | addition to gaining opportunity to kill sheep and destroy gardens and other property. Dog ordinances, as a gen. eral rule, have been intended chiefly to curb the dogs power of doing harm by attacking, biting, killing or running sheep or stock. The part that he plays as a carrier of diseases to ami mals only recently has been recog- nized, according to the Zoologists of the United States department of agri- culture, who believe that when this is better understood rural ordinances and laws which lessen this danger will gain the support of the community.
 Of the diseases carried to stock by dogs, the foot-andmouth disease is probably of the greatest interest at this time. In this case the dog acts as a mechanical carrier of infection. The dog which runs across an infect ed farm easily may carry in the dirt on his feet the virus of this most con tagious of animal diseases to other farms and thus spread the disease to the neighboring herds. In infected localities it is absolutely essential, therefore, to keep all dogs chained Of 9 m except on leash.
 There are, however many other maladies in the spread of which the dog takes an active part. In Bulletin 260 of the department, "The Dog as a Carrier of Parasites and Disease" it is pointed out that rabies, hydatid, ringworm, favus, double-pored tape worm, roundworm and tongue worm are often conveyed to human beings in this way. It occasionally happens also that the dog helps feas and ticks in transmitting bubonic plague or the deadly spotted fever.
 Hydatid disease is caused by the presence in the liver, kidneys, brain, lungs and other organs of bladder worm or larval tapeworm. Bladder worms are often as large as an orange and may be larger. A dog which is allowed to feed on carrion or the raw viscera of slaughtered animals may eat all or part of bladder worm contain ing numerous tapeworm heads. These tapeworm heads develop into small segmented tapeworms in the intestines of the dog. The tapeworms in turn develop eggs which are passed out in the excrement of the dog They are spread broadcast on grass and in

MOLDY SILAGE IS HARMFUL
Complaints Made That Farmers Lose Horses and Mues-CarefuIIy
 Avoid All Spoiled Stuff. ,

Every winter farmers complain of losing horses or mules by feeding spoiled silage. Damaged or moldy silage is not first-class feed for any animal. Even cattle should be fed carefully, but the greatest care should be exercised with horses and colts. See that no moldy stuff gets into their feed boxes and that none is left there from one feed to another to spoil.
 Good silage does not hurt horses, but remember the mold that some times occurs in spots may kill them at any time.

LAZY ANCESTORS OF
 OUR MODERN FOWLS
Industrious Hen of Today Lays 300 Eggs in Year, While
 Jungle Bird Laid Twelve.
CBv c. s. ANDERSON. Colorado)

(By C. s. ANDERSON, Colorado)
 The jungle fowl from which all our modern breeds of chickens have orig mated, laid from twelve to fifteen eggs a year when in it's wild and nat ural state. With years of selection. we have succeeded In developing from this ow-producing fowl a type of bird the chief function of which is egg pro- duction. Our present-day Leghorns, and carefully selected fowls of several other breeds, lay close to 300 eggs an nually, and in the course of lifetime more than a thousand.
 An average hen of the egg type breeds will lay in a years time five times her body weight in eggs. Yak ing the standard weight of eggs as "A ounces per dozen, this means an egg every three days during the year. To accomplish this the hen must consume nearly thirty times her body weight in feed
 The hen also has a market value when she is no longer an egS producer. Comparing the total marketable prod ucts returned for 100 pounds of digest ible matter consumed, the hen ranks second only to the COW among all our common farm animals.

COMMON TAPEWOPM IN LAMBS
Not Believed That They Are Rcspons sible for Many Deaths of Animals,
 Says Western Expert.
(By L F. NEWSOM, Colorado
 tural College, Fort Collins. Co

(By l. F. NEWSOM Colorado Agricul.
 tural College Fort Collins. Colo.)
 The common tapeworm of lambs is one that has habit of getting into the duct leading from the liver, and for this reason many who have exam ined sheep, dead of disease, have sus- pected the tapeworm of causing the death. It might be well to state that more than 60 per cent of all western lambs have these tapeworms, as evi- denced by finding them on the kill ing floors at the large packing houses. While it must be admitted that in few instances they may cause some trouble, yet it is not believed that they are responsible for many of our lamb losses.
 During the siege of the Kansas horse disease some man unfamiliar with the normal conditions in horses for the first time found Palisade worms in the abdominal arteries of dead horses. He at once jumped at the conclusion that these worms were responsible for the disease. Had he known that approximately 95 per cent of all horses have these same worms, his reputation might not have suffered.
 It is rather common for veterinarians to diagnose tapeWorms in dogs, and in about 95 per cent these diagnoses are correct, but that the tapeworms in these animals are responsible for dis ease is not at all evident, except in q very small percentage of cases. So 1t is with these tapeworms in lambs They can always be found in postip | any large number of animals, but that they are responsible for any serious disease is evident only in few cases.

HAVE COMFORTABLE
 STALLS FOR HORSES
It Often Happens That Places Where Animals Are Kept Are
 Entirely Too Narrow.

A horse cannot talk and tell his owner in the morning that he has been uncomfortable during the night, but if such is the case and the trouble continues the effect will show in his work, or more serious trouble may follow. Sometimes the stalls are bad ly constructed, made too narrow or the horses feet wear holes which are neglected
 One of the greatest evils is having a stall too narrow. It may not have been properly constructed in the first place or perhaps has been made for a small horse. If the barn changes hands or is rented and larger horse put in it, this horse may have diffi- culty in rising and so because of his dread of lying down on that account remains on his feet longer than is good for him. Again a board or two may become dislodged and not being re- placed at once occasions a draft.
 In a number of barns that have come under my observation too little care has been used as to the situa- tion of the stalls. Quite often they are placed on the north side of a building owing to such position be- ing handler or not interfering with other arrangements about the barn. Instead, it is best to have them on the south side of a building or if on the north side they should have a 6Duhla wall Tha stalle shOu1d ha of sufficient size, the flooring should be level and the stalls themselves kept in good condition.
