CONCERNING Fences.

The fences between pastures and cuI-
tivated fields should be made strong in
the spring before the cattle are turned
out, but it is well to keep watch OF
them at later times, especially If the
pasture grows scanty. Then look
over the fence at field of corn or wav-
ing grain is temptation that should
be guarded against, as it may not be
easily resisted. Then in some localI-
ties there is class Of trespassers
who think little of throwing a stone
off the wall or letting down a rail in
the fence to make an easier passage
for themselves when they go that way
cunning, fishing or berry picking. Such
parties should be punished, but it is
not always easy to detect them. We
have seen half rod of stone wall that
had been thrown down, apparently to
get out some woodchuck or rabbit, and
left, as if the ones who had done the
mischief thought there was no need of
any wall there.-American Cultivator.

actual fighting because Of a lack of
valor on the part of the imprisoned
Beers. Even Lord Roberts demurred
when some of his officers proposed that
the attack be pushed ON the anniver-
sary of Majuba HILL He feared it
would cost too heavily Instead of
the attack being attended with awful
loss 1t was very simple affair, yet
carried out with great gallantry. Two
regiments did the work, but the chief
part was played by the Canadians
Long before daylight the Canadians
and the Shropshires went forward, the
Shropshires covering the stealthy adj
vance of the colonials. The skirmish-
ing was magnificently done, and that
was all the charge amounted to. Ly-
ing down so that the Shropshires
could fire over them, the Canadians
moved close to the Boer trenches. The
Beers were finally compelled to fire at
random by holding their Mausers above
their heads and aiming at the ground
on the other side. Even then the Ca
nadians were glad to drop back to a
trench which had been dug for them
200 yards from the Boer line. There
they awaited daylight.
When the situation was disclosed to
Cronje in the morning, he saw that the
fight was up. The Canadians and
Shropshires We're in position to enfilade
the trenches and the embrasures of the
gun pits of the lager 1t is claimed
by the British that the Boer soldiers
forced matters by running across open
space to surrender and that some who
staid in the trenches waved white flags
and exposed themselves to British bull
let's. There was no fighting then, only
an awkward wait. Before sunrise,
while the British were getting ready
to strike the final blow, one which
they supposed Cronje would make the
bloodiest of the field for them, rider
started from the trenches bearing a
white flag and also Cronjes offer to
surrender Immediately without reser-
walton.
When the British came to examine
the lager, they confessed their fire

Observation-Disclosures

A man who goes to farmers club
merely to talk and be listened to for
his own amusement might better stay
at home once III awhile and attend to
his neglected work, says The Rural
New Yorker. Sociability should not
be discounted, but those who have
nothing but this and do not wish to
learn are not of much use to the club.
Nearly every association has some
member who tries to monopolize the
time. He bowls about capital and la
bor-though he has but little of the first
and does less of the second crop fall
ures and calamities, trusts and InonOp-
olies, while he himself Is running the
biggest kind of talk trust. If he were
an inexhaustible source Of practical
agricultural knowledge, it would be
different. 1t is refreshing to hear a
man talk common sense peppered with
original ideas for an hour, but when
one who can tell all he knows that is
of interest to others in five minutes
and takes up an hour he makes a
drought. Such people talk their neigh
bors and friends tired and themselves,
their families and live stock poor, while
some man who does more thinking
than talking could give valuable bits
Of experience if given an opportunity
and encouraged a little. The farmers

to draw out the thinkers and make the
takers draw in little is fortunate.

had been child's play as compared to
the bad conditions Of the camp to
weaken the Beers. Dead animals lay
thick ON the ground, and the only
drinking was from the river, which
contained the bodies of slaughtered
horses. Wounded men had been left
to themselves, for all the ablebodied
Beers were in the trenches. The con-
ditions of the wounds were horrible
owing to the heat and the lack of fresh
water and proper dressing. The Times
correspondent declared that 1t was like
death to remain but five minutes in the

declared that but for the Canadians
getting so close TO the trenches they
would have held out for days, and
with food it would have been a. mat

given up the struggle.
In an army, even the bravest, there
will be some weaklings when 1t comes
to a moral as we'll as physical strug-
gle. Men like TO carry all trumps, to
be on the winning side. Taking the
spirit of the Boer nation as key 10
his conduct, Cronje did just what was
expected in resisting TO the bitter end
The chance that Lord Roberts com
binations might fail at some one point
or that the Boer relief columns might
come up warranted Cronje in holding
out at the start, and every day he
could hold off the enemy tended to in
spire the hope that he could prolong
the struggle until the tide changed. A
surrender with relief columns within
sound of the guns would have been a
blot upon Cronje from the Boer point
Of view as black as treason.
At the surrender Cronje bore HIM

had harshly demanded, he ANNOUNCED

Rape In whent.

A man in western Kansas sowed Es-

last year. He came to Colorado, bought
1000 lambs and turned on the field
after harvesting the wheat. The
lambs gained 11000 pounds while eat
Ing the rape The cost of the rape seed
was $40. The land had produced its
crop Of wheat and then instead of be-
ing idle it fattened ten lambs an acre
between harvest time and winter, put
ting an average of IL pounds on to
each one. Butchers who bought the
lambs report that they sell as well as
those that are partly grain fed, al
though they dress away little more.
Many sheep are fattened for market on

prices.-F Field and Farm.

Al TER OSTEOPATHS
MEDICAL EXAMINERS WILL PROS.
SCUTE THEM.
AN INTERESTING FIGHT
States Charge Will be Based on the
Claim That Osteopaths are not
Giving Medical Treatment-Larg.
est College of It's Kind Located
in Milwaukee.

The state board of medical eXamin-
ers has decided to prosecute every
doctor Of Osteopathy in the state on
two counts. First on the charge of
unlawfully using the title of doctor,
and second on the charge of holding
out as physician without having rec
OgniZed license. The state board Of
medical examiners has been accumu-
lating evidence for some time, and the
prosecution will be begun in the
police court soon.
There is little doubt that the action
of the board will be bitterly fought by
the osteopaths. The state is prepared
to carry the case to the supreme
court in order that the matter once
begun, may be settled for all time. It
will be far-reaching in its effects, in
asmuch as the largest college of os-
teopathy in the world is located in
Milwaukee. Much of the evidence to
be presented by the board has been
published by the Milwaukee College
of Osteopathy. The official organ Of
this college states that the college
''confers the degree upon graduation
Of doctor Of osteopathy, instead of
diplomatic Of osteOpathy." Another
clause states that cit is absolutely di-
vorced from drugs and the knife, and
makes use of none of the appliances
of other schools in treating diseases"
Osteopathy is legally recognized in
Vermont, Missouri, North Dakota,
Michigan, Iowa and South Dakota
The state board will base its case
mainly on the allegation that the
osteopaths in Wisconsin are giving
medical treatment for the alienation
of disease and in some instances
prescribing medicine and drugs with
the Osteopathic trtIment Their
method of treatment in the language
of their pamphlets is Simply defined
as a scientific method of treating
disease by as killful manipulation of
the body, adjusting any abnormity Of
the parts and preserving the integrity
of the entire mechanism
The science, so-called, was dis
covered by DR.. A T. Still of Baldwin,
Kan, III 1874, and has been extensive
ly practiced since that time. 1t is de
rived from the Greek osteOn, a bone,
and pathos, suffering, and is legally
defined where it was first practiCed as
"a system, method, Or science of heal
ing"
The test case is expected to at
tention than did even the now IA
nous Christian Science prosecution,
and bids fair to develop into some
thing of greater magnitude because of
the existence in Milwaukee of the
college which is at present largely at
tended by students of the science who
will all be affected by the decision of
the higher court in the event that the
allegations of the state board of med
ical examiners are upheld.
