Experiments in feeding wheat to
farm animals and swine have been
made this year at the Kansas Exper-
iment Station, and also in other
States of the corn belt. The experts
conclude that wheat has greater
nutritive value than corn, and may
be used either crushed, mixed with
oats or corn, or in connection with
straw in times of extreme scarcity.
The drought in Kansas has not af-
fected the wheat crop, and many far
mers will be compelled either to use
their wheat as fodder or to sacrifice
their stock.

Tuberculosis.

Cattle commissioners Flavius o. Beal
and John M. Deering were at Ripley and
ST. Adams, Tuesday, accompanied by
DR.. d. ID. Winslow of Pittsfield, veteri-
marian. The excitement which short
time ago was at fever height is now sub
siding.
Thus far the animals condemned and
killed are as follows: Herd OF C. M.
Hilton, st. Adams town farm, out of 10
head, seven killed; Sylvanus Lowell,
Ripley, out of / head, five killed; Guy
Emery, herd OF five, one killed; Frank
Hatch, herd OF five, one killed; Will
Farrar, herd of nine, nine killed.
The herds OF George II. Marsh, 10
head, and Samuel Skillings, II head,
have been tested and found to be all
right. The animals at Hilton's were
condemned a short time ago and the
commissioners ordered them killed.
Dr. Wnslow is empowered to kill such
animals as he flnds diseased and the
cattle commissioners will see that the
owners are reimbursed one half the APP.
praised value OF the animals.
DIR. Winslow will return to Ripley
soon and will test other herds, the peo-
pie there being anxious to learn whether
there are any diseased cattle among
them not yet found. While there may
be few more cases, ard IL is quite prob
able that there are some, DR.. Winslow
does not expect to find many more.

"a beautiful scene said an old thea

half way through his lengthy oscula-
ton when the gallery began a success
sion of smacks, constantly increasing
in volume. 1t was a critical moment;
but. as the event proved, one that was
to add to Alvery's already large wreath
of laurels.
Slowly he raised his magni6cently
handsome head and turned toward the
audience and silently looked the CALLER
les into silence. In ten seconds he had
completely mastered them, and you
could have heard a pin drop In the
great house. Then he dropped his face
on that Of Brunnhilde, and that kiss
went on to its appointed and Saphollke

from the audience. 1t was as fine an
exhibition of the control Il great per-

This Is a story one woman Is never
tired of telling of mother whose child
had been Ill with scarlet fever. She
always emphasizes the fact, too, that
the mother was possessed. upon ordi-
nary occasions, with good sense and
intelligent woman. She was, too, a
more than ordinarily careful mother,
and 1t was as an illustration of this
that she told the story of the care of
her boy to the friend who now repeats
It, Not as much was known about
sanitary conditions then as now, but
1t was not in a time of primitive igno-
rance.
II always believe In taking the great
est care to prevent contagion in any
disease" said the mother, land with
the fever | was extraordinarily care
full. Why. when the skin began to
peel | rubbed the child down with my
hands every day to remove every loose
fragment. let 1t fall into n cloth, and
then | gathered 1t up carefully and
shook 1t out the window"
The listener to that story laughed
then and there. to the great surprise
and Indignation of the mother. and
laughs now at the ridiculous ignorance
of a woman who claimed to have even
q vestige of common sense.-New York

lady who said she desired to rent a
seat In row nearest the door of his
church. The rector responded that the
seats In that row were all free and that
she was at liberty to occupy any one Of
them. but she persisted. saying that
she desired to have 1t for her own.
Being somewhat curious as to her
reasons, the clerical gentleman said,
But madam. tell me why you wish to
sit SO far backw
After some hesitancy she responded
that she simply couldn't bear to have
any one 'st behind her"
