but which in these mixtures are now
ing names to a general public which
seems possessed of a craze for buying
whatever is advertised without regard
to its special value in any particular
case. Stockmen, who wuold never ad-
nit to their family medicine chests
any medicine which was not properly
labeled as a remedy for some specific
disease and who would not sanction
its use for any but the one purpose

eases, expecting a cure in every case.
These remedies usually prove upon
analysis to contain, if not the exact
ingredients which are advertised, at
least nothing by way of harmful ma
terial. Many of them are, it is true,
of but little value either from the
view point of their usefulness as a
remedy, or from the standpoint of
their food content. Yet they carry no
material which will be of positive
harm to the stock. The alarming fea-
ture of the whole matter is: These
remedies are being supplied with lit
tie or no regard to their practical
value for the cure Of the disease ut
hand. Our stock are dying, in many
cases, because no attention has been
given to the nature of the disease
to be combatted, some remedy being
applied solely by reason of the colors
and attractiveness of the advertising
matter which sold it. Again, there
can be 10 doubt that many of the
stock preparations in use so widely
may prove quite beneficial if used in
instances for which their manufacture.

torious a remedy may be, when prop
erly applied to the cure Of a dis

a specific, one cannot expect it to

Meeting of State Live Stock Organ1Za-
tions to Be Held in Chicago to Form
a Producers Committee Independent
CT the Packers.
WASHINGTON, April 24.-Action
taken by recent conventions of meat
producers in Kansas City, Missouri, and
Dallas, Texas, in adopting resolutions
for the creation of a producers com
mittee to centralize the activities of
the producers, is regarded here as
safeguard against domination of them
by the packing interests. This action
is opposed to the proposal put forward
by the packers in Chicago last March
for a Joint committee representing the
packers and the producers. and is said
TO be more in line with the provisions
of the Kendrick bill, designed to bring
the packers under federal control
which has been reported favorably by
/ United States senate committee.
! In the course of the conventions the
Kcndrick bin was one of the chief top
les of discussion, and it is reported that
( the sentiment was strongly in favor of
such a measure.
Testimony before the United States
senate committee had Indicated that
much of the control of the packers
came from the failure of the producers
to combine and keep together for con
certed action For this reason much
significance is attached to the agree
ment reached to form the producers
committee which is to meet in Chicago
on May y and which will represent
the various state livestock organiza-
tons The Consumers league, it is UNI
derstood, viii cooperate with the pro
dueers to oppose the packers control
of foodstuffs.

dueers "will confer with the packers
whenever there is anything to be
gained by conference, and will work in
harmony with them whenever their in
terests are mutual But it will not bg
tied up with the packers in any way
