is the dumping ground for diseased horses,
'doctored up' and sold for sound animals.
Tho losses to Individual farmers from this
source, within tho last few years, are very
large, and only prompt aud severe sanitary
measures lave prevented the losses from being
much greater.

Lisbon FREQ Press: Ro lime should be- lost
In the matter Of tree planting for the longer
the delay Just so long will we be compelled to
wait for forests. Iowa was as free from trees
during its early history as Dakota, but to-day
it would be hard to realize that it, too, was
once vast prairie. The city people as well
as farmers should turn thei2 spare moments
to tree culture and within a few years tho re-
suit would bo beyond their slightest contemp-
lation. H. K Adams says that he finds that
a thorough application OF ashes around the
roots is the very best thing known for sustain
ing the moisture to them aud advancing their
growth.
During the thunder storm on Monday
at about noon, the house of j. P. Burling, Of

The bolts entered the house in three distinct
places in the rocf, all near the stove pipe.
Mrs. Burlng, who was STOPPING down at the
cupboard near where the lightning entered
the house, was knocked to The floor and badly
stunned, and the lightning tore the sole from
the shoe on her right foot, and also the stock
ing on the bottom OF the same foot was torn
completely off, though, strange 10 say, her
foot was not badly burned, only slightly
scorched and backened by the SMOKE It was
a terrible shock to her nervous system, how
ever. and she was brought to town by Mr..
Burllng on Tuesday for medical advice from
DR.. Philip. 1t is hoped, however, that she
will entirely recover from tie effects OF the
shock shortly.
