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.

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. "

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.

OSCILLATING EYES.
A Rare and Peculiar Disease of
the Organs of Sight.
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.

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. ConsulJ J
