Enter your surplus stock at the
annual stock sale. You will prob
ably get what it is worth. If it
goes at a sacrifice your loss will be
well invested as an advertisement
Of Giles county live stock. Giles
county has not been selling it's fine
stock for full value because it was
not advertised extensively. The
stockmen and farmers can afford to
do something to make this annual
sale a big attraction to buyers. 1t
should be made an established GER
tainty that there will be a big sale
here every year. Have a sale that
will attract hundreds Of visitors
This can be accomplished by the
combined efforts of our stockmen
and farmers. There is no risk o.
great sacrifice in big sale of this
kind, for if your stock sells cheaI
you can buy other animals cheaI
with the proceeds. Do your par
and let Giles county have a stool
sale every year that will attract
crowd from surrounding states. Sci
the secretary before the first o
June and have something there Il
sell.

Enter something for sale at the
annual stock sale. Help to make it
q permanent success. If you are
afraid your stock will be sold at q
sacrifice remember that in that case
other stock will be sold in the
same way and you can buy as
cheap as you sell. You can help
to open up a good market for Giles
county stock, and you risk but lit
tie in doing it.

men won many warm friends while

interest was felt, yet so little was
manifested among the irfeligious

tinue the meeting.

The Go. -lbian Minister.

A Washington correspondent de
scribes the first visit Of the representa-
tive Of Colombia at the White House
The new Colombian minister was
presented to the President to-day by
Secretary Bayard The new Minister
is very tall, straight, with fine, we'll
rounded figure He looks as ifhe were
of the purest Spanish type. His fea-
lures are very regular, his complexion
has clear olive TINT, while his hair is
very thick and almost blue-black in
color. A luXIriant mustache and
beard cover the lower part of his face.
He is suffering from disorder of the
eyes, and at the time of his presenta-
ton lie was blindfolded. In addition
to this he had a close dark screen over
the bandage. He was led on each side
by attaches of the Legation.
The foreigners were in full dress. says
the correspondent and that item gives
him an opportunity to mildly deprecate
the business-like American custom of
receiving gentlemen who call on bust
The following appears to have shocked
the sensitive soul of the writer.
Secretary Bayard, who made the pre-
sentation, wore his frock-coat when he
received them. II is the custom of all
the foreign ministers when they make
their first call upon the President to
put on full evening dress. 1t appears
to have been the custom of the secre-
taries of State to go up in ordinary
business dress. / never heard of any
President putting on formal dress to
receive these full dress visitors. As
these visits are those of ceremony it
would seem proper that the Secretary
of State should put on full dress and
that the President himself should dress
in accordance with the formality of the
occasion.

Nail in a Horses Foot.

When the horse-shoer pricks the foot
with clean nail, which is at once
withdrawn and the hole filled with a
few drops of turpentine, the chances
are that no harm shall come of il. But
if nothing is done and the horse goes
lame and lamer before the shoe is
taken off and the nail drawn, the prob
ability is that the wound will tester.
The thing to do is, after removing the
shoe, to cut the nail hole out, follow
ing it exactly until it bleeds freely.
Then syringe or sop it out with car
bolic acid water, and till the opening
loosely with a pledget of lint, or oak
um. Renew this treatment daily, and
do not replace the shoe until suppara-
ton ceases If the horse picks up q
nail on the road, the treatment should
be quite similar. The nail being blunt
er and often dirty, the wound is usu-
ally a worse one, and the sensitive
parts bruised, so that suppuratiOn
follows. In case the bone is pierced,
and the pus is abundant and offensive,
veterinary surgeon should be con-
suited, but meanwhile inject carbolic
acid several times a day. If several
days intervene between the time when
the nal is picked up, and when it is
discovered, the same treatment is fol-
lowed but if a pu7 sack is found, out
of which the matter squ;rts, care must
be taken to make the opening large
enough 20 clear it all out, and be sure
that carbolic acid touches every part

and proving that these spores may be
kept as dry dust for period of eight
months without losing their vitality.
1t was pointed out, as bearing on the
production of these spores, that potash
had an important influence in aiding
their growth. and that accordingly in
damp, warm weather, which is especi-
ally favorable for their development, the
potato disease is probably furthered by
the use of potash manures. The
spores are quickly destroyed by being
treated in a solution of ferrous sui
phate, which penetrates the cellular
walls of the spores without iniuring
those of the higher organisms. he
advocated the application of weak
solution of ferrous sulphate to farm
yard manure before being applied to
the land.
