President OHABLES SPABJKS Cashier 4 C WESTERN NEWS-DEMOCRAT EOBEET GOOD , Editor and Publisher In a letter from Chicago to the Ra tional Stockman and Fanner , Ave clip the follo\ving interesting items to our stockmen : Sheep feeding is increasing in popu larity Avith the growing consumption of mutton in this country , and the high prices demanded for nice young stocker cattle are influencing man } ' farmers to tatten sheep in place of cattle. In the far west , which is the nursery of the industry , young stock sheep are chang ing ownership at from $1. 7o to $2.2.j per head , which is about the range of prices paid last year. The demand is starting in strong , and the volume of business in stock lambs and sheep promises to equal that of last year. A commission man a few davs ago bought a car-load of Angus 850-pound steers at $5.3-5 per 100 pounds , and sent them to his Illinois farm. He will have to get over $6.00 for them when they are matured to come out more than even. This is conclusive evidence of the faith a well inforsned man has in the future of the choice cattle market. It should be added that ! the best cattle coming to market sell at j $ o.So to $5.50 per 100 pounds , I ! Over in the Canadian province of j i Ontario they report that what promises j to be a cattle famine. There are in j | various localities no cattle for sale , and j prices for beef are very high. The cause of this scarcity is said to be steady purchases by men from the United States , great numbers having been taken , and some buyers have secured as manT as three thousand cattle. Many of the Ontario farmers , having parted with their cattle at good prices , are now turning their attention largely to raising poultry , and are forming poultry companies. The Mexican cattle trade is improv j ing. although of much smaller proportions tions than a year ago. During April 17,929 cattle were brought into the United States from Mexico , , as com pared with 3,951 the preceding month , and 35,158 in April last year. Most of these were young stock cattle , the im ports including over 13,000 calves. The cattlemen of Western Oklahoma are organizing a boycott on Kansas City , and threaten to ship all of their cattle to Chicago and South Omaha , because of the recent action of the Kan sas quarantine board in requiring in spection of all Oklahoma cattle enter- the state. I i The bureau of animal industry has published a pamphlet on the subject | of "Blackleg ; Its Nature. Cause and Prevention , " prepared by Dr. Victor ; A. Norgaard. An important portion of : the pamphlet , njl.iting to o'u1 pro- j vent".vi- the extension of the disease , I is the following : All animals which die from blackv [ eg should be immediately burned before - fore they are attacked by vermin or j birds of prey , as these may scatter the ' infection. In order thornghly to destroy ] a carcass it should be placed upon i\vo ! logs and a cord of dry wood heaped j over and around it. If one fi.v dos \s \ not destroy it completely aioth-r ! iouM j be built over the parts remaining. < In a pasture where woo I is scarce the carcass may be buried ; in this case the hole in the ground should be at least six feet deep and the carcass should be well covered Avith lime be fore the earth is filled in. Some should 1 also be scattered freely over the grave yt and also over the space where the ani io mal was lying before being buried. ig effort should be spared to make sure that infection from the dead animal is impossible. It is due to neglect of those important precaution that blackleg has obtained such a foothold in certain parts or this country as almost to make cattle raising unprofitable. " nr1 r1 The Denver Stockman says that tj while reports coming in from the 1v ranges indicate that the cattle losses v from the winter have hardly been as heavy as was anticipated , the late spring ; , cold nights and snows art1 play ing havoc with the calf cro-j. Tp in Montana and Wyoming many of the herds that got through the winter with but a trifling loss are reporting a loss if of from 15 to 30 per cent , of tiieir calves and old cows from the severe spring ] weather. It is possible that those figures may be slightly over estimated , but all reports agree that in the Xorth- west the calf crop will show a decrease consequence of late spring. To some extent this is true of other sec tions and will tend to delay the replen ishment of the ranges to such an extent to effect a reduction in values. Brer.

HE , SEYMOUE'S IttTEEESTIM TALK , The Cause and Cure of Sere Eyes , Styes. Twitching" Eyes ; Glasses the Proper Remedy. The reporter who has been so suc- ccsslul in securing so many interest ing letters and interviews from Dr. Seymour , asked some questions on his own account , which Dr. Seymour very kindly consented to answer. "What are the different troubles which you treat with glasses , besides failing vis ion ? " "Fitting glasses to improve the sight , " remarked the doctor , "is only a portion of my work. Besides straightening cross-eyes , there are many other ailments , such as sore j eyes , squinting , nervous troubles , i headache , neuralgia , weak eyes , i oscillating or twitching eyes , properly termed nyestagmus ; in fact , there are 1 very few eye troubles which cannot be treated directly by the use of proper glasses. " "What are oscillating eyes ? " "This is not as common as many of the other complaints I have mentioned , but I will describe a patient brought to me recently and tell you how his trouble can be secured. A little boy , 10 years old was brought into my of- j fice not long ago , whose eyes , besides i I being crossed , continually twitchei or oscillated. This , his mother ex- piained to me , had been their condition - tion since he was a very small child , aru although she had consulted many physicians she has been informed that nothing could be done for him. " "Can you cure thip with glasses ? " "Yes , " said Dr. Seymour. "This is the only remedy that can be applied which is sure to improve this condition. Un like the majority of cross-eyed chil dren , the eyes in this case turned out. In fact , the child used but one eye and by acquaintances was considered near-sighted , whereas tne majority of cross-eyed children are far-sighted. This continual twitching is due tea a de'orm'ty of the eye-ball , which does not refia t the light correctly and the continual movement is necessary to rel'eve the retira of th/s diffusion of light , which is painful and if allowed to rert in one spot would injure the sensitive tissues which receive the image. ] The cause of this trouble is not ] generally understood , as cases of this kind are rare , and like many other eye deformities , is apt to be at tributed to a nervous condition caused by a sudden fright. The treatment for this trouble consists in perfecting the sight and bringing the light to a proper focus , which Invariably re lieves this tension , and the patient steadily improves. " "In what manner can sore eyes be cured ? " was the next question. "This can be answered best in a general way ; sore eyes , unless due to blood dis S orders , usually originate in straining C of the sight , the eyeball first becom ing strained from overtaxation and the inflammation extending to the lids cause a chronic condition which may result in granulated lids or chronic sore eyes. Glasses not only relieve Tf the cause , but act as a protection , and , strange to say , even styes , which are a source of great annoyance to some people , can in many cases be entirely cured. I think it is safe to say that three out of four patients coming to me with this complaint have been en tirely relieved simply by wearing the proper glasses and using simple home remedies. " "Why have you discontinued the use of drugs so universally used in your work ? " "Because I think the eye should be treated as an optical in strument , and that nine-tenths of all disorders are due directly or indirectly to the abuse of this instrument. In rav work there is a definite science which brings definite results , while in mcd'cal treatment the relief afforded is ant to be but temporary and in the r.irro'-ity of cases the treatment is speculative. Glasses properly and scientifically fitted are never injurious and there is positively no experiment vi tlp ; part of a scientific specialist in A this line. All results promised are sure to be obtained , provided the man S who makes them thoroughly under stands the principles upon which his science is based. I confess myself ex clusively to the .eye and its treatment in ; this manner , after having many years of experience in all branches of this : work , and I feel that my success justifies me in commending this meth od to all thoughtful people who are subject to eye troubles. " . \ Ijubor of Love. Dr. W. I. Seymour , the Omaha eye N specialist who intends to visit this city in the near future , has had great success among cross-eyed children. This is a labor of love with Dr. Sey S mour , as there is nothing that appeals more to him than the sight of a child growing up with cross-eyes , which he has demonstrated over and over again can ba entirely corrected by the proper treatment if taken before it is too late. The parents of such afflicted little ones will raiss a great opportunity if they fail to consult the doctor during his stay. stay.The The people in this city who are hav ing trouble with their eyes , or are in need of glasses , Avillbe glad to learn u.at Dr. Seymour , Omaha's most reli able optician , will be in our city soon for a short visit. Remember the date fiv you wish to see him. fivmi Dr. Seym on i ' * M mi It is not at all wonderful or phe miM nomenal. It is the simple result of unceasing labor ; unremitting study and unswerving devotion to a well- 8 chocen specialty , coupled with an in domitable determination to master his in all its details profession , simple ' and complex. These are the forces F which have combined to make him the foremost optician of his day. Im itators and pretenders , by seeking to si ) copy his methods and by subterfuge and inuendo in the form of their ad vertising , endeavor to mislead the public by a comparison of price be til tween their work and his , but it ends a dismal failure , like the glasses they so often misapply. suIT Dr. Sej'mour win visit this city in the near future and parties who wish consult him should come early and thereby avoid the rush which marks IT the closing days of his visit.
