dali sent word back that l was broken

at once. He did not come until the next
evening.

ing, and far from warm, the filling work
ing apart so that you could see daylight
through them. Mr.. Ktrkendsll, part OF
the time had to use his overcoat for a
covering for himself, and lay across two
chairs.
Even Mr.. Kirkendall's horser, which
were kept there fer the county's use,
were allowed to go two days end nights
OF n time without feed, and thirty.six
hours at another time, the county neg.
lecting to keep their agreement to send
out food to them. The feed was ordered
time and again through DIR. Bellinger,
but for some reason, like the provisions
for the patients, 1t failed to come.
In making these statements | do not
desire to cast any reflections or blame
upon Mr.. Kirkendall or his daughter,
who served as nurses. They were kind
and attentive, day and night, and did all
in their power to make me comfortable,
and to secure provisions. bedding, etc.
for the house. In Ella Kelley's case, Mr..
Kirkendall would ask her time and again
what she wanted, and then would order
1t fer her, but 1t would not come, and the
poor girl would tell Mr.. Ktrkendall often
before her death that abe old not blame
him for not having the things needed.
After DIR. Seybert took charge of
affairs, there was nothing lacking. He
assisted me as often as necessary, fur.
nished medicine, and saw that thers was
no lack Of provisions or other comforts.
In fat | have great cause for expressing
thanks to him and to the nurses for hav.
ing lived through the discomforts and
restitution of the first part of my stay at
the pest house, and being Kindly nursed
back to life again, City Marshal Guanella
has also been very kind, and l desire to
publicly thank him. For those who left
me to die like a hog, l have no harsh
words, and do not desire to do them i'll,
but / make this statement in the hope
that hereafter there may be no such neg.
lect of small .pex patients, and that the
public will hereafter see to it carefully

The City Improvements.
To the Editor of the BEE.
AS the time Is about at hand for the
tax payers Of this city to look around for
some one to repr esent them, In the capac-
ity of alderman, l think they should be
very careful who they are. 1t is true
this city has made large improvements at
a great cost, and how have they done IT.
let every taxpayer answer for himseif.
1t is true wa have Broadway and Main
street paved, with good material, but was
there even less brains used by any set of
councilman on machiuism. A street like
Broadway paved with the material it is,
with side cutters ten to twelve Inches
deep with the center of the
str et 80 that the water runs
In 1t like a gutter, ard nota crosslngfrom
one end to the osher. Also Main street.
Think Of a paved street so flat hat you
have lakes and ponds on it, go that citl.
zens want a raft or a boat to CROSS it
With. Look at the skill displayed in In
dian creek. | say, Taxpayers, look out
and see you get auch men for your alder
men that will give you all the needed i'm
provements nece ssary to the best interest
of the city. We want aldermen that
when they let q contract that will take
time to see it is ddae right, that it is in
accordance with the contract, and that
the taxpayers get the benefit of their
money.
Look at the work on Sixth street. I
wonder if ever al alderman inspected it
once, if 30, l should think they would be
careful how they let like contracts. Let
every taxpayer examine the cutbing
around Baglirs park and see what they
have for their money. l do not wish to
ensure the present councilmen, but they
have driven some things too fat, they
have made the burden of taxation too
heavy and more particular In the filed
district. The burden of filling and
raising buildings was enough for one
year without being compelled to put
down curb stones and bullding walks, 30
| say let as look for mon that will have
some interest for us, and net for some
selfish motive OF their own. A large
amount of money goes somewhere, and
the taxpayers should try to inform them
selves where 1t goea, therefore, come out
and got good material for our aldermen.

swine. | have tried corn ground and
made into slop by pouring water on it
and letting it stand until it begins to
ferment; also, have fed it cooked into
mush. have also tried wheat mid
dlings, or ship stuff, both cooked and
made into slop, but the best, and | be-
lieve the cheapest feed Considering
labor in preparing), is shelled corn
soaked in water for twenty-four hours.
by this simple process two bushels will
swell into the bulk of three, and for
pigs four to eight weeks old will make
more growth than three bushels of dry
corn, and, they will begin to eat it a
week or ten days sooner than they
would dry corn. My plan is to have
as many vessels as the number of times

each feed has soaked just twenty-four
hours.

To Cure Balky Horses.

bride, boy or man put on the ami
mails back, with instructions to make
him move lively for zen minutes up and
down the road, At the expiration of
that time | put on the harness and
hitch up, and the animal goes all right.
1t may have to be done once or twice
more, whenever the hitch>up after
meals takes place
A farmer near me last summer had
a nice four-year>old horse, which work
ed steadily from spring till midsummer;
then the horse having had Il long rest,

directions, and jhe nose worked all

Selection of Cows.

AS regards the selection of COWS, the
following points may be useful: A
good milking COW is apparent at the
first sight. Her general appearance
indicates her feminine and maternal
qualities. The whole form is delicate
and feminine in character. The head
is fine, broad between the eyes; the
face dished the eyes large, bright, and
of a placid, gentle character, in>
dicating docility and intelligence; the
neck is long, thin, and gracefully car
ries the well,molded head. The ears
are thin covered with silky hair firing
ed at the edges and ola deep yellow
color within; the forequarters are light
and slender, the chest deep and the legs
thin. The belly is large and deep,
giving wedge.shaped from to the
whole body; the back is straight and
broad over the hips; the ribs well
rounded, giving abundant room for the
vital organs within the udder is large,
broad, fiat, and regularly formed,
and the milk.vein should be large and
we'll developed; the teats are long and
large enough to be handled with ease,
and placed well apart, and square as
regards each other the udder should
be covered with fine silky hair and
quite free from coarse hair upon any
part Of it; the thighs are well apart,
giving room for the large udder; and
around the udder it should be covered
with thin, soft, loose yellow skin; the
tail should be long and thin and set up
high over the rump bones, aud these
should be somewhat sharp and promi-
nent. The whole skin should be loose
and easily taken up Unfold in the hand,
and the tissue under it should be soft
and elastic, giving, with the soft, fine
hair covering the hide, a soft, mellow
feeling which is more like that of vel.
vet underlaid with soft lining than any
thing else that could be compared with
it.
The escutcheon has been supposed
or believed to he an indication of all
the good qualities in COW. This is a
wholly extreme view of it. Really, it
is of no more value than any one of the
above points, and is of much less value
than some them for instance, however
fine the escutcheon may be, it will
never be substitute for a good udder
or for copious abdomen well filled
with welldeveloped stomach, liver, and
lungs 1t is fact simply and indica-
tive that the animal which inherits it
will probably inherit all the other
characteristics of its ancestors. Forther
than this, the escutcheon has no signif.
canoe, but so far it has value in the
list of points of good COW.

Dangerous Bowel Disorders.

Now that bowel disorders such as
