HANDSOME POSTOPFICE.

Thesgood people of Amboy and i'm
mediate vicinity are to be congratulate
ed upon having Dave Cross for post.
master For years this enterprising
and thrifty town has dubbed along
with postoffice entirely unbecoming
the needs and tastes of its citizens, I'M
til now. After the appointment of Mr..
Cross as postmaster he determined that
amends for past neglects should be
made and at once set about preparing
for. the erection of a suitable postoffice
building The size of the structure is
23x50 feet, one story, with 14-foot
ceiling. Mr.. Cross took possession OF
his new quarters only few weeks ago,
but before doing so he provided it with
an entirely new outfit of the latest and
most approved style of post office fix
lures. He has $40 call boxes and 16C
keyless lock boxes, money order
cabinet, etc., which cost him about
$500.
There is no town of it's size in the
northwest that can boast of a finer
post office than Amboy and Postmaster
Cross is entitled to much praise fol
his enterprise and generous considera-
tion of the needs of the patrons of the
Office.
Here's hopin' that David may be per
mitted to enjoy many years OF official
life in his cosy and handsome quar-
tiers.

PINK EYE: : ! HERE.
The Horse Disease Appears in
MankatO.
Livery Stables Have Been Sufferers
But the Epidemic is Not Dreaded
as in the Past.

The disease among horses known as
pink eye" has made its appearance in
Mankato and numbered horses have
been affected. and spmesa still suffer
ing from its effects, The livery stables
have been the most afflicted, one hay
ing fifteen horses sick at one time. The
eyes of some of the animals swelled so
that they could not see.
The disease made it's appearance in
the twin cities a couple of months ago,
after a practical immunity of eight
years. 1t took the form of an epidemic
in st. Paul, particularly among the
younger horses, and good many horses
died The disease now seems to be on
the wane in the state. q
The disease is practically aninfiuenza,
and if not skillfully treated may easily
run into pneumonia 1t is character
zed by high fever, some recent cases
developing a fever of1106. Then one
eye swells shut and the eyes water con-
tinuously At the same time the ami
mails legs swell, especially about the
hoofs. Some of the eastern. cities are
suffering badly from the epidemic. The
disease has had remarkable history.
somewhat resembling the record of the
grip. 1t first swept over this country
in 1872, when, like the grip in 'S5 and
'S6, it vent all oyer the civilized world,
destroying horses. by the thousands. In
many cities at that time the force OF
horses was 50 reduced that large sums
were paid for the delivery of small
quantities of goods. All horses were
slain as foon as radical symptoms de-
veloped
However, as has been the case with
all human and animal epidemics,
science has more than kept pace with
the disease, and at this outbreak the
veterinarians have no doubt of theil
ability to hold the dread disease in
check and prevent poor Dobbin from
getting more than pink eye' and a
| swelled head out of the deal.

ssiscting tho nrssa1ne Female.

While fully realizing the Importance
Of the male farm stock breeding, due
Importance should be given to the Sc
lection of the female in order to OBJ
tain the highest grade progeny. Short.
ness or chubbiness of form in the fe-
male should be carefully avoided, as
such animals are not good breeders.
OF course the opposite extreme is just
as Objectionable, The animal should be
clean cut, with a fine head, light jaw
and long neck. The limbs should be
delicate and of good length-that is,
they should not be short and knotty
nor yet long and thin. When the cow
has horns avoid choosing for breeders
those with short thick horns It is
difficult to describe the ideal animal
but the points are instinctively appar
ent to any close observer. In short,
probably the best way to judge is to
decline any female that has mascul-
inc look in any marked degree, for
tms may be safely taken as an indica-
lion that she will fall short of the
mark, in some important respect, as a
breeder
