By Peter Radferd Lecturer National Farmers’ Union A broad campaign of publicity on the subject of rural life is needed in this state today to bring the problems of the farmers to the forefront. The city problems are blazoned upon the front pages of the metropolitan dail- fes and echoed in the country press, but the troubles o: the farmers are seldom told, except by’ those who seek to profit by the story, and the scures the substance. A searching in- vestigation into the needs _of the farmers will reveal many inherent de- fects in our economic system that can be easily remedied when properly un- derstood and illuminated by the pow- er of the press. The rural press, the pulpit and the school are a trinity of powerful in- fluences that the farmer must utilize to their fullest capacity before he can occupy a commandingsposition in pub- lic affairs. These gigantic agencies are organized in every rural community and only await the patronage and co- operation of the farmers to fully de- velop their energy and usefulness. They are local forces working for the best interests of their respective communities. Their work is to build and their object is to serve. They prosper only through the development and prosperity of the community. Every farmer in this state should subscribe for the local paper, as well as farm periodicals and such other publications as he may find profitable, glitter of the package ofttimes ob-. FORAGE POISONING CATTLE i News Bulletin Regarding the Live Stock Disease. The’ Missouri State Board of Agri- e culture has issued to farmers and stockmen a news bulletin as follows, quoting the latest statement by Dr. D. F. Luckey, State Veterinarian of this Board: | “Immense numbers of horses and some cattle are dying over the state at the present time. For the want of a better or more accurate name, the ‘trouble is called ‘Forage Poisoning.’ “Cause—It is undoubtedly due to some mould on the fodder or ear corn. Other feed seldom causes the trouble. |Losses are occuring among both horses and cattle, whether on corn | stalk pastures or fed ear corn or shock fodder. “Symptoms—Cattle often die sud |denly without showing any well-mark- /ed symptoms. The symptoms in {horses vary a good deal and the dis. | ease runs a course lasting from one to four days. They first become slug: ‘gish or sleepy and these symptoms usually pass unnoticed, Some horses {lean against the wall. The animal ap- | pears to be blind in one or both eyes. Later there is well marked nervous | derangement. “Treatment—Most of these cases {are not notized until it is too late. ‘In the advanced siages treatment is useless. No single line of treatment | Will cure these cases. As soon as a (case occurs, all corn and fodder |should be withheld and the feed com- pletely changed, Then administer a ‘full dose of salts or raw linseed oil jto all animals that have been eating |the dangerous feed. | “Prevention—The prevention lies in |putting corn up in the silo, If the | silage keeps well and does not mould, |there is 10 danger.

The fair to a city man is an entertainment; to a farmer it is education.. Let us take a stroll through the fair grounds and linger a moment at a few of the points of greatest interest. We will first visit the mechanical department and hold communion with the world’s greatest thinkers. You ure now attending a congress of the mental giants in mechanical sci- ence of all ages. They are addressing you in tongues of iron and steel and in language mute and powerful tell an eloquent story of the world’s progress. The inventive geniuses are the most valuable farm hands we have and they perform an enduring service to mankind. We can all help others for a brief period while we live, but it takes a master mind to tower into the realm of science and light a torch of progress that will illuminate the path- way of civilization for future genera- tions. The men who gave us the sickle, the binder, the cotton gin and hundreds of other valuable inventions work in every field on earth and will continue their labors as long as time. Their bright intellects have conquered death and they will live and serve mankind on and on forever, without money and without price. They have shown us how grand and noble it is to work for others; they have also taught us lessons in economy and effi- ciency, how to make one hour do the work of two or more; have length- ened our lives, multiplied our opportunities and taken toil off the back of humanity. They are the most practical men the world ever produced. Their in- ventions have stood the acid test of utility and efficiency, Like all useful men, they do not seek publicity,. yet millions of machines sing their praises from every harvest field on earth and as many plows turn the soil in mute applause of their marvelous achieve- ments INNOCENT PRISONER NOW FREE Eut Raffaele Perri Served Seven Years Before He Was Found To Be Guiltless. Philadelphia, Jan ~-Raffaele Perri, : was released from the Eastern Pennsylvania penitentiary to- day after having served seven years and four montis for a murder he did not commit. H in self defense and Perri was arrested and convicted of murder in the first desreé and sentenced to be hanged. He was reprieved and the sentence was later commuted to imprisonment for life. His brother, who fled after the shooting, wrote a letter to Gov- ernor Stuart. w hep the latter was in office exonebating him and the ate pardoning’ board recommended his re- lease several days ago. Perri met at the penitentiary gate by his brother, Frank, an em- plove of the Reading Railway Com- pany. He taken to his home, where his w and five children were awaiting his return, A celebration in honor of the family reunion wis held. Perri was a victim of circumstantial evidence, His brother, James, was a lamplighter and was beset by a mem- ber of the so-called “Black Hand” for ‘money. He refused to deal with the man, The night of September 2, 1907, James Perri was about to light a lamp, when James Consoli, it is-said, asked him for $50. James Perri refused. to give Congoli anything and the fight en- sued. Consoli struck Perri and Perri shot and killed him in self defense.
