KEEP EYES OPEN
FOR SLEEPING SICKNESS

Temperance of equine encep-
halomyelitis sleeping sickness OF
hcrses) in Minnesota makes 1t Ak
tremely important for farmers to
keep a wary eye on their horses"
reports DR.. c. p. Fitch, chief OF the
veterinary medicine division at
University Farm, st. Paul.
If a horse shows any CT the
symptoms, he should at once be put
in a barn and not worked, en-
phasizes DR.. Fitch. Then call
Veterinarian. These two measures
are important because successful
treatment must begin before the
disease has progressed to a point
where the temperature goes down
to normal, which is usually 2 or 3
days after the animal gets sick. II
animals are not treated and are
worked, fatality is almost certain.
If any horses appear to be alb
normal, the safest thing is to- have
them examined. The symptoms OF
sleeping sickness are many and all
may not be present at the same
time. Generally a horse drags it's
toes and has a wobbly gait. His
temperature is high for 2 or days
and then falls to normal or below.
Normal is 80 to 1908 degrees.
Breathing is shallow, tht pulse is
slew and the mucous membranes
Of the eyes and mouth may become
yellow. The animal has a general
appearance of drowsiness, the
head hangs low, the upper and low
er lips droop. There also may be a
blinking of eyelids and difficulty in
swallowing. Saliva may drocl from
the mouth and the muscles Of the
abdomen will be rigid.
DR.. Fitch points out that an in
fected horse should be kept in a
darkened, screened box stall, If
possible, and given absolute rest
and quiet. Support should be pro-
vided, for a down horse usually
means dead horse. BY all means
avoid exciting the animal and keep
him away from others on the farm.
The animal must be given all the
water he will take, but dc not
drench, says DR.. Fitch. 1t will be
necessary to hold the water up to
the level of the nose since the
horse will not lower his head to
drink. The same applies to feed.
Cold packs can be applied to both
the head and the neck.
AS general preventive, all
horses should be kept off pasture
especially at night, during the
mosquito and fly season. Provide
them with covering and use a
good insect repellent, which may
be made as follows: Mix pound

ECONOMIC HIGHLIGHTs-

Will business get better or worse?
Will change take place rapidly or
slowly? Which lines Of industry
seem to face the most favorable
prospects, and which the most un-
favorable? In an attempt to ans
wer such oft-asked questions as
htese, the Associated Press recently
Queried more than as core Of lead
ing economists" The resulting
symposium casts an interesting and
fairly optimistic light on the current
situation.
Asked If there will be general re-
covery during the balance Of the
year, IL economists said definitely
yes" Nine said probably yes"
Only one took the negative view,
and two had no opinion to offer.
Asked as to the duration Of the
recovery cycle, 8 economists said
it would last until Christmas at
least; four expected it to go
through next spring. Seven believed
it would continue beyond spring,
and three had no opinion.
Sixteen Of the men replying re-
garded government spending as an
aid to recovery, from the stand
point of the short view. Two believ-
ed it hindered recovery, two more
thought it of little Importance, and
three were undecided.
The leading factors favoring re-
covery reported include: better re-
tail trade; higher commodity
prices; reduction of inventories,
and the improved trend in the stock
market.
Principal factors unfavorable to
recovery mentioned by the econom-
lists include taxation, government
interference with business, the low
condition of the heavy industries,
and price rigidity. Curiously enough
both wage cutting and resistance to
wage cutting were also mentioned
as unfavorable factors by various of
the experts.
AS to the pace of the recovery
the bulk Of the economists took the
view that it would be slow and
steady. Only one said that he anti
cipated a boom. And practically all
of them predicted the briskest pick
up in the consumer goods indust-
ries, and expressed doubts as to the
experience of the capital goods in
dustries.
So much for the future. Events Of
the present seem to justify the
economists careful predictions. The
general Improvement in business
sentiment continues to be reflected
in the stock market. The week end
ing July % saw a number of lead
ing issues reach their highest
points in 10 months or longer. And
turnover was at fairly good level.
A few lines are showing unusual
strength-steel, for instance, re-
Gently jumped operations from %
to 80 per cent of capacity. Residen-
tial building contracts continue to
slowly improve. Buying in consum-
ers' goods fields rises.
On the debit side is a poor out
look for profits in many Industries
and continued slackness in the
extremely important automobile in
dustry. It is expected that car pro-
duction will rise soon, but not to
anywhere near last years levels.
Business Week estimates that
this years farm income will be
good-$7, 400, O00,0 900, which is 10 per
cent under 1887, and per cent
under 1896. Industrial News Re

insurance policies, the activity of in
dustrial enterprises, the value of
our agricultural products, and the
availability Of employment. The
credit of the United States Govern
ment definitely affects these funda-
mental human values. 1t, there
fore, becomes our first concern to
make secure the fundation. Nation
al recovery depends upon It,
Too often in recent history liber-
al governments have been wrecked
on rocks of loose fiscal policy. We
must avoid this danger.

debt twice as big as 1t was when he

bankruptcy, this strange man tells
us In his most blithesome manner
that another four billion, more or
less, is nothing to worry about. II

is in need of guardian right now.

PROGRESS OF COMMUNITY
A great deal of work is connected
with the management Of success
full county fair. The proposition
needs the cooperation Of every citi-
zen in the community as 1t reflects
the progress made during the year.
A fine display of exhibits Is always
interesting; fat and sleek cattle,
granting hogs, prancing horses,
cackling chickens and strutting tur-
keys always lend an air of enthusi-
asm to fair visitors. After viewing
the exhibits there Is plenty of oppor-
tunity to enjoy well balanced enter
