FARMERS SHOULD
KNOW STOCK REMEDY
TONICS AND OTHER REMEDIES
ANALYZED AT THE STATE
EXPERIMENT STATION.

Brookings, Feb. 14.-Farmers who
lose money by the indiscriminate pur-
chase of stock remedies, tonics and
nostrums would do well to get the
advice of reputable veterinarian for
diagnosis prior to such purchase,
suggests Prof. B. A. Dunbar, head
chemist of the South Dakota ey-
pertinent station.
Prof. Dunbar reports that analyses
of the flood of tonics and stock foods
that have come to the chemistry de-
partment show that they usually
carry large percentage of common
salt, laxative such as EPSON salts,
Glaubers' salts and the like, sulphur,
charcoal or other form of carbon, sui
phate of iron as tonic cermifuge,
and usually filler by way of mill
feeds, oil meal, screenings, grass
seeds, peanut shells, sand or tank
age. We usually find very small
quantity of mild drug like bentian,
fenugreek, ginger or pepper.
"In the light of these findings, it
would seem that if the farmer lacks
access to a regular veterinarian he
might well buy such drugs locally
and serve them to his stock in small
doses, thereby having the satisfaction
of knowing just what he is feeding,
as well as knowing that the real food
value of his ration is in the form of
feed grown upon his land and of a
known quality.
"It is but fair to add, however,
that the extra care given to animals
under treatment has produced its
good results because we usually heed
advice that we pay a high price for.
Almost invariably the directions ac-
companying the sale of patent stock
remedies and foods demand unusual
attention to the sanitary and feeding
conditions which must be observed
during treatment. l doubt not that
this feature of extra care and con-
troll of animals alone has contributed
much to the health Of the stock.
Whatever we may say of the value
or the lack of it-of these remedies,
w q ihuot tudI lhlo Sdi z
will have it's good effect.
Several of our experiment sta
tions have tried out stock feeds in
actual practice, and under the best
possible conditions of sanitation and
surroundings, but two of twenty or
more trials showed that there was
any material improvement to be gain
ed from the use of the feeds, and
these results are open to question.
"In so far as these materials may
lay claim to a large value as extra
nutrients, we cannot admit to our CO.
fidence, since whatever constituents
they may carry are present in such
small amounts as to make this claim
inconsiderable. Again such doses of
condimental materials or medicinal
drugs as are found in the ordinary
rations of these materials are so
slight as to have little marked ef-
feet along the line suggested by the
presence of the drug. In admins
tering the same medicines, a veter-
marian would not recognize the
quantities as found in these RENE
dies as at all sufficient.

INVENTOR Of ROAD
DRAG IS DEAD
RGELY RESPONSIBLE FOR
IMPROVEMENT OF RURAL
HIGHWAYS.

Maitland, Mo-, Feb. 14.-D. Ward
King, inventor of the road drag that
bears his name, and one of the lead
ers In the Inauguration of the federal
land bank system, is dead in St.
Louis.
King is said to have been largely
responsible for the improvement of
rural roads throughout the country
In the last decade as his invention
made it a simple matter to put the
dirt highways in good condition.
D. Ward King gained fame be-
cause his invention, the King road
drag, was acclaimed by good roads
experts and highway engineers, who
saw in the invention a very practical
and cheap method of maintaining
roads. The inventor was farmer of
Maitland, Mo.
The road drag was made "at the
cost of a pocket knife" and combined
the acme of efficiency with a valu-
able effectiveness. Split logs, about
nine feet long, held with the split
side to the fore by strong wooden
pins constituted the drag, which
could be drawn at various angles ac-
cording to the point of attachment
for the doubletrees.
Mr.. King did not patent his inven-
tion and therefore received no finan-
cial remuneration, but he enjoyed the
privilege of travelling at the request
of road organizations to address COM
munities on the care of roads. He
gave many demonstrations to show
the before and after" of a road
dragged by his invention. In 1908 he
made IL days. tour through Kan
sas on q special Santa Fe train, ex-
planning his invention and giving
demonstrations.
Mr.. King first recognized the need
for an inexpensive road drag in 1900,
and shortly afterward completed his
invention.

SECRETARY LANSING
OUT OF CABINET
RESIGNS AT THE REQUEST OF
PRESIDENT WILSON.

Washington, Feb. 14.-Official
Washington today was apparently be-
wildered by the sudden resignation Of
Secretary of State Robert Lansing, at
the request of President Wilson, who
charged his ranking cabinet officer
with trying to assume presidential
prerogatives. Talk of congressional
investigation at which a full story Of
the differences between Secretary
Lansing and the President would be
aired, and the possibility of the resig-
nation affecting the league of nations
battle in the Senate and the possibil-
ity of the resignation of other cabi-
net officers were some of the things
discussed in private.
Administrative officials and con-
gressmen avoided any utterance. for
public consumption, however. 1t was
pointed out today that President Will
son, by condemning the holding of
cabinet meetings during his illness,
would disavow responsibility for in
junction proceedings against the coal
strikers, policy which has been
widely condemned by labor.
Washington, Feb. 14.-Further
disclosures were believed imminent
today in the controversy between
President Wilson and Robert Lam
sing, which resulted in Lansing's res
ignation as secretary of state. AL
though Wilson's announced reason
for accepting Lansing's resignation
was that he had called and presided
over cabinet meetings without the
authorization of the PresidenA, pro-
longed friction over the conduct of
foreign affairs led up to the final
clash, according to correspondence
made public.
A full story of long continued con-
flict between President Wilson and
Secretary of State Lansing is expected
to come to light during the next few
days. Frank Polk, under secretary
of state, today took up Lansing's
work and all foreign governments
were officially notified of Lansing's
resignation.
hCpOItc ulIIcTcuCeS between
President Wilson and Secretary Lam
sing during the peace negotiations in
Paris were recalled today. Lansing
was recalled, it was remembered and
Polk substituted. More recently the
Mexican situation caused friction, it
was stated. Secretary Lansing's
notes to Mexico some time ago be-
came more and more belligerent until
the President took a hand. Observ-
ers pointed out subsequently that
Lansing discontinued cabinet meet
ings.

Brandegee today inserted into Con-
gressiOnal record the correspondence

Urging Government
