the creamery end butter factory in BILE.
vile has all been taken and work will
be commenced on the building at dnce
We have no doubt but what this will
prove paying investment for the bwn
as well as for the people of the ooup try
around here.
Atchison Champion: William Dunk lie,
who lives near Muscotah, has q young
apple orchard of forty acres. It is just
beginning to yield well, and although
this was not big year for apples, Mr..
DuDkle sold this fell over 1000 bushels,
realizing 1912, besides good sum from
cider made from wind falls.

of the State Normal building, on Tues

Der 7tb, 9Th, and 9Th, in response to an

Fall River Courant: Hugh Fraser has
lost several head of fine steers that he
had on full feed. It is thought that
their death was caused by being fed on
the ground where hogs had been fed in
the early part of the season. We were
informed that Mr.. Fraser had raked and
burned the refuse left by the hogs, since
which he has lost no cattle.
Garden City I,rigator: Cattle thieves
have been committing numerous depre-
dations in this vicinity for the past few
weeks and have at last succeeded in
arousing the ire of the cate men. G.
L. Inge & Bro, Squire Worrel, J. @.
Kitchen, 8. A. Billiard & Co., and Peter
Rafferty, have suffered the heaviest losses,
and Low offer reward OF $3.50 for evil
dence that will lead to conviction of the
thieves.
Walnut Valley Times: J. w. Smith,
of Rosslia, says the death of cattle from
being turned into stock fields is nothing
new. lie has known calves, taken from
a dry pasture aud turned to all the hay
they could eat, to be dead 10 36 hours
Cattle gorge themselves with dry food
to that extent that it seems they cannot
even drink and fever and death follow.
The remedy, Mr.. Smith tells us, is to
let. them at first have small yet increas-
ing quantity of food.
Manhattan Mercury: From the In
dustriGtist ! notice some instructions
about tying corn fodder, which are worth
reading; but let me mention q simple
device that A. M. Jordon, of this place,
invented. 1t is simply block of hard
wood six inches long and three wide by
one inch thick, with hole cut in one
end to tie rope in, while the other end
has small roller placed in "U' cut in
the wood for that purpose. The rope is
then placed around the shock and
through the roller. One man can draw
the rope as tight as any fodder need be
tied and by adding smell snub made
of wood to keep the rope from relaxing,
one man can do his tying and do as
much as two men, team and hay rack
as spoken of by the paper referred to
above.
Coffeyville Journal: Enos Padgett, q
farmer who resides five or six miles
northeast of this city, had mule die on
his premises last Sunday evening from a
disease that very much resembles hydro
phobia. The animal became very furi-
Gus, and with his teeth tore great strips
Of flesh and skin from his forelegs. BE
also severely bit another mule, q horse
or two and several cattle. He chased
enc valuable COW around the yard and |
kicked her until he had killed her. He |
also bit large pieces out OF the spokee OF
, wheel, and the motion of the wheels Of |
> moving wagon had the effect of throw
ing him into commissions. The sight of |
standing water had about the same ef-
'ect on him that the motion of the
wheels had. He got hold Of Mr.. Pad
gets boy, but fortunately did not sue
,eed in biting through the skin. The
animal died in great agony.
Belleville Telescope: It will be remem-
,ered by some of our readers that con-
siderable excitement was created in I'LL
lois by the arrest of q man by the name
# 81. H. Haaff, by the Humane Society,
or removing the horns from cattle. Mr..
daaff was acquitted and it was proven
hat it was not painful operation to
he animal and that there was no daneer
4 injury and that when a large lot of
attic are together and are to be shipped
hey can be handled much more safely il
hey have no horns. Mr.. Snyder, q
tockman living near Lake Sibley, in
loud county, went to Illinois q short
ime ago to see the operation performed
nd to learn what he could about it, and
ast Monday removed the horns from q
un belonging to MI. J. @. Humphrey,
10 proprietor of this paper. The oper-
hon was performed in the presence Of
ute number of the leading stockmea
the county, and was altogether simple
nd satisfactory. There was but very
tile blood lost, net near as much as
,ers would have been in castorating.
