FOR DEhORNlNG CATTLE,
A Frame Which Holds Them Securely
During the Operation.

A Frame Which Holds Them Securely
During the Operation.
Mr.. NJ. Rankin, a breeder of 10
Daviess county, Ills, has invented a
rack which holds cattle firmly in place
while they are being dehorned. The
rack is also admirable for fastening
hogs during the process Of ringing them.
We copy MI. Rankin's description of
his machine, with diagrams, from The
Breeders Gazette:
For stills three pieces of 4 by 4, 4 feet
long, to be mortised for bottom Of posts
s inches each side of center to allow the
side and bottom boards to drop into
place. -Four posts 4 by 4, 5 feet 4 inches
long, and two posts 4 by 4, 5 feet 8
inches long, to be tenanted to stills.
Three cap pieces 2 by 4, 4 feet 2 inches

Bran as Feed.

Bran is much more highly thought Of
as feed than it used to be. But it has
it's limitations and should not be relied
upon entirely when fed alone. 1t is an
excellent feed to give to animals that
have a surfeit of corr and should always
form a part of the ration of fattening
sheep. 1t is not so good for hogs, as its
coarse texture makes it unpalatable.
But fine wheat middlings have all Of
the excellences Of bran and will be
eaten in greater quantities by fattening
hogs. The bran and wheat middlings
furnish a greater proportion Of albumi-
noids than corn has, and therefore sup
plement it's deficiencies. Wheat bran is
an excellent Alternative for horses fed on
timothy hay in winter. 1t will keep
their digestion good and will be all the
better if q tablespoonful of old process
oilmeal is added to each mess. Wheat
middlings are not so laxative as bran
and are better, therefore, for horses that
have to work hard, though both the
bran and middlings contain much of the
nutriment that builds up bone and mus
Gle and increases strength. Exchange.

The Two O'clock Train

1t was very small western town and
the only train out that night left at 2
o'clock. The travelling man had i'm
pressed upon the night porter of the
MOTEL the Importance of calling him in
time for this train. Promptly at 80 a
prodiglous knock reused the sleeper.
Say. be yeZ the man what wants the
o'clock thrain?"
Yes was the sleepy reply from
within
We'll. yez can shape an hour longer
for she's so much late"
The heavy feet shuffled off down the
nail and silence ensued. Another hour
had passed, when Pat again knocked.
Say. be yez the felly what said he
wanted to ketch the o'clock trainP"
es.' and there was q sound of the
man hastily springing from his bed.
wen, drawled Pat, "yez can go back
10 bed again, fer she's another hour
late"
A forcible remark or two proceeded
from the travelling mans room, and were
audible to his awakened neighbors, as
was the departure Of Pat, but soon all
was quiet again. and the few occupants
Oh the hotel were left for some time to
undisturbed repose. Just as the first
rant strokes of dawn were tinging the
SKY Pat once more made his presence
known, and, in terms giving unmistak-
able evidence of recent and heavy slurn-
Der. remarked:
Say! If yez was the felly what wanted

shlape till mornin', for bedad, the blame

A MINERS MISTAKE
His UnIoved Wife Was Proof Against Giant
Powder

PRESCOTT, Ariz., June 29.-Bin
Brinkley, miner employed in the Last
Chance mine, was arrested last night
charged with exploding the giant pow
der which wrecked the Cabinet saloon
Brinkley's wife was in the dining-room
when the explosion occurred, the pow
der being placed Immediately under this
portion of the building. IL is alleged that
he has made frequent threats against
her, saying he would blow her up
Officers state that he has told conflict
ing stories since his arrest He was at
the Last Chance mine on Saturday and
it is stated was in the room where the
giant powder is stored, and that five
pound box is missing. That both women
in the dining-room were not instantly
killed is attributed to the fact that the
floor is covered with lineleum, which
acted as a cushion to the force of the
explosion. A space of three feet or four
feet between the floor and the ground
saved the building from total wreck. A
Chinese waiter who had just served the
women with the meal received the heav-
lest force Of the conclusion and his in
juries are considered serious.

The Character Ear Marks

Modern society, which has been late
1y discouraged on the subject of ears,
their beauty and ugliness, lays down
some rules for determining their char
acteristics that are worth needing. A.
well-shaped ear Is rarely found on vul-
distinction that nature reserves for
her favorites. 1t indicates q delicate
temperament culture and artistic
feeling. Every now and then a Bertil-
lon or Nordau comes along to show
how great a part this feature plays
in human life, but unobservant people
pay little heed to the story 1t has to
tell. The big. flabby. outstanding ear
indicates degeneracy, and 1t Is safe to
say that mankind could not be marked
with more eloquent sign, IL the world
knew how to read ii right.
That precious morsel of horsefesh
born the other day at Col. Russell's
farm serves to illustrate some of the
theories preached by DIR. Lombroso
The ears of this fllly are marvels of
refined beauty. II Nancy Hanks foal

ADDRESS OF BAYARD
The Ambassador 10 Great Britain Makes
Another Speech

Another Speech
qAINESBOROUGH, England, June
29.-Upon arriving here to-day the Unit
ed States ambassador, Thomas +. Bay
ard. was presented with an address by
the Gainesborough municipal council.
Mr.. Bayard's visit to this town was upon
the occasion of the laying of the memoir
ial stone of the John Robinson church.
At luncheon Lord Brownlow proposed
the toast, "The President of the United
States" Mr. Bayard, in replying, said
that the occasion was both memorable
and delightful. 1t meant good deal,
he continued, when from both sides of
the Atlantic they met together with sin
cerity of feeling to-day to drink ''the
health of both rulers He hoped the
time would not come when such toasts
would not be drank with the same good
feeling as at present existed.
Continuing. Mr.. Bayard said that
craftsmanship could have no higher
goal or object than the state of things
now existing.
Continuing, the ambassador remarked
that he "was in this country, not to dis
cover difficulties but occasions of agree
ment."
At the conclusion of the laying of the
stone Mr.. Bayard read long address,
covering twenty pages and consisting
chiefly of a history of the sketch OF
John Robinson, whose name and charac-
ter the ambassador said would create
tie between those who felt the kindred
of common language and common
thought

SACRAMENTO. June 29.-The follow
ing synopsis Of the weather and crop con-
ditions during the week ending June 20
is issued by the State Agriculture society
in cooperation with the United States
Crop and Climate service:
The average temperature for the week
ending Monday, June go was as follows:
Eureka 81. Fresno 81. Los Angeles 6S,
Red Bluff so, Sacramento ~. San Fran
cisco Sc, San Diego Ga. AS compared
with the normal temperatures, there was
an excess of heat at Fresno of 4 degrees,
Red Bluff and Sacramento degrees.
while heat deficiencies were shown at
Eureka of l degree, Los Angeles 1, San
Francisco and San Diego degrees.
There was no precipitation. which is
about the normal condition of the crop
producing portion of this state. Oranges
are reported to be still dropping, and
grapes in Sonoma county are reported
to be dropping so badly that they may
be total failure in some of the vineyards
which We're visited by the heavy frosts
and damp. cool wealth during the early
part of the present season. Barley har-
vesting is progressing in satisfactory
manner, and wheat harvest will soon be
in full blast. Some wheat is reported
damaged by shrinkage from several
points both in the Sacramento and San
Joaquin valleys, caused by the hot
northerly winds of the previous week.
Hops are rapidly improving. and the
honey prospects are much 1atter than
they We're several weeks ago. Beans and
corn are doing exceedingly well. in fact.
the climatic features of the week have
been very beneficial to al lsummer crops,
as well as for the ripening of grain and
fruits. Fruits are coming into market
quite freely and are being shipped to the
Eastern cities in trainload lots and by
express in smaller quantities.

Iron Workers Wages

arations are being made by all the roll
ing mills throughout the Mahoning val
ley to shut down at the close of the night
turn tomorrow, by reason of the expira-
tion of the wage scale of the amalga-
mated association. Both employers and
employees are hopeful that at an ad-
journed meeting of the scale here on
July 9th, an amicable agreement will be
reached on the wage scale. The pud-
dlers are demanding an advance of fifty
cents per ton. The manufacturers would
probably sign the scale in force during.
the past year, and If iron is advanced in
price they will pay increased wages.

mower Of the church jure divino, and
this is declared fully by general counsels
and is acknowledged by the consent OF
antiquity.
"For the preservation Of unity IN the
Christian church it is above all Things
necessary that there should be union
hetwen the Roman pontiff, the one
sscrNssor of St. Peter and the
bishops. the many successors of the
apostolic college. 1t is necessary TO
bear in mind that no prerogative was
conferred in the apostles in which ST.
Peter did not participate, but that
many were bestowed upon st. Peter
anart from the apostles. He alone was
designated by Christ as the foundation
Of the church. To him He gave the
power of forgiving and retaining and to
him alone was given the authority 10
feed.

so he chose st, Peter and his successors
as the principal and as it were, the
center of this unity. The episcopate or

with St. Peter, as Christ commanded.
For the due preservation of unity OF the
faith it is not sufficient that the head
should have been charged merely with
the office of superintendent, or should
have been vested solely with the power OIL
direction, but it is absolutely necessary
that he should have received real ana
sovereign authority, which the whoie
community is bound to obey.
Holy Writ attests that the keys Oh tne
kingdom of heaven were given to 81.
Peter alone and that the promise Oh
binding and loosening was granted 10
the apostles and to Peter, but there is
nothing to show that the apostles re-
ceived supreme power without Peter or
against Peter. Such power they certain-
ly did not receive from Jesus Christ.
Wherefore, in the decree of the vatican
council as the nature and authority OF
the primacy of the Roman Catholic pom

forth, but the venerable and constant be-

Sealing Law

SAN FRANCISCO, June 29-The United
States court of appeals decided today that
the Paris award on matters pertaining to
sealing in Bering sea must be upheld as the
supreme law of the land and that the
United States government has no right to
make special laws governing its citizens
in hunting seal that do not permit them
equal privileges with the citizens of for
eigin countries on the sealing grounds The
decision is important, as it defines clearly
for the first time the restrictions to be
placed upon the American seal hunters in
Bering sea.
