sterility.

bterhttys
When a COW fails to conceive 1t may
be that she is too fat from the feeding
Of corn and lack of exercise. but We
also find that where q COW is run
down In condition she may not breed
until she is kept up and got into good
condition. not by the feeding Of corn.
but by free use Of nitroge ms ra-
tion. The very fat COW sho.ld be
turned out OF doors and put upon q
spare diet until she comes in heat,
when she will be likely to conceive
when bred. It sometimes helps mat
tiers to give her full dose of EPSON
salts before turning her out. and some
go to the extreme OF giving one
drachm doses of iodide Of potash two
or three times daily, but this Is I'M
necessary unless there is disease Of
the womb or OF the ovaries.
In chronic cases of sterility among
cows 1t is usually found that the womb
or its mouth are diseased or there Is
catarrhal discharge which must be
removed before the animal will breed,
and 1t is a somewhat simple matter
to treat these cases. The owner should
provide himself with fountain sy-
ringe or with a tin can holding one
gallon and to which has been soldered
q tin pipe. to which may be attached
long rubber hose. The can Is to
be filled with a warm 1-1000 solution
Of chloride OF zinc; the free end Of the
hose Is then inserted into the vagina
and the solution allowed to run freely
into that organ so as to wash 1t out
thoroughly. This should be done twice
daily for few days, then three times
week, and soon all discharge will
cease. and the animal will be likely to
breed successfully. This should always
be done with every cow just after calv-
Ing. when 1t Is possible to also cleanse
out the womb before 1t closes, and II
this were made a practice upon every
stock farm there would be much less
trouble from sterility and abortion
than is now the case. Where abortion
has been prevalent the genitals OF all
pregnant cows should be washed once
daily with the solution mentioned
above. and no COW should be bred
when there is discharge from the va
gina. The same solution will be found
equally effective for the washing of
the sheath Of the bull. and this should

Poultry BrIefA
Egg-eaters among hens are unneces-
sary. Often 1t will be found that the
egg-eater is the same hen that lays
the soft-shelled egg. This is proof
that both things arise from the same
source-a wrong condition in the
fowls feed or care.
Audubon Republican. [volume] (Audubon, Iowa) 1894-1925, 1901-02-07

We notice in poultry contempo-
rary an article charging the gapes to
cracked corn. We supposed that this
question had been settled long ago. 1t
is now well known that the gapes are
due to the gape-worm. and not to any
system Of feeding. unless 1t be q sys-
tenn that permits the chicks to get all
the gape-worms they want through
the medium of the gape-worms' hosts
the angle worms.

Not all car conductors are merely
hardened ringers in of fares. A poor
woman got on Twenty-third street
crosstown car at Fourth avenue, and
as it was we'll under way and she was
about to hand her fare to the conductor
she asked him if he transferred to
Sixth avenue. On being told no, she
drew back her cents and asked to be
let off.
"lve a long ways to go on SIXTH
avenue she said. and Ia better walk
to there and then ride"
The car then had reached Madison
avenue.
"N'ait till We get across the street,
answered the conductor. She waited,
ana instead of stopping there he let the
car go on. past the transfer station
and across Broadway to Sixth avenue.
There he pulled the bell and looked at
her.
THANK YOU" she said gratefully.
He had carried her within block of
where she wanted to 60 and had taken
no fare.--New York Telegram.

Sleeping the years OF their manhood away
Give them the need they have won 10 the past;
Give them the honors their future forecast;

E'aten with hopes that doomed but to die
H. arts that have burned in the heat Of the fray
Once they were glowing with friendship and loyej
Now their great souls have gone soaring above.
Bravely their blood to the nation they gave;
Then in her bosom they found them grave.

Sleep where their friends cannot find them today;
They, who in mountain and hillside and dell,
Rest where they weaiied and lie where they fell.

emily, they would prohibit anything
which, under any possible conditions,
can bring, by it's abuse, harm, crime or
sorrow to the human race.
No law-making can confer brain and
will-power upon those born without it.
AS free agents, men may drink to drunk
enness or not drink to drunkenness.
When they do get drunk nature puts the
penalty of headaches, sickness and
crime upon them. Nature grants no
pardons. Nature commutes no senten-
ces for the violator of her laws. Pro-
hibitionists propose to punish those who
do not get drunk, by taking from them
all beverages containing alcoholic stimu-
lants, thus to prevent from drinking
those who do get drunk The drunkard,
say the prohibitionists, is not to blame.
Society is to blame. The social structure
is imperfect. We divide on the drink
habit into two classes One class can and
does use but never abuse stimulants.
Another class does abuse them and get
drunk and commit crime, and ac-
cording to prohibition doctrines, the
class which does not get drunk is the
cause of the class which does get drunk.

either of which we may pursds> the
inquiry. Let us follow that one which
promises the most trustworthy results;
that is, examine large classes Of cases
and be guided by broad averages. Do
those who pray get the results they
seek oftener than those Of the same or
similar ability and industry who do not
pray attain their objects? THE Con-
SENTATIVE opens it's columns to all who,
with sincerity, desire to discuss the
efficacy of prayer in producing rain,
restoring health or bringing about any
desired result in human affairs!

The Patriot, of
Lincoln, which is

PROHIBITION.

and aggressive mouth-piece of pro-
hibition in Nebraska, in it's issue of July
25th, has something to say about the
editor Of The CONSERVATIVE, and his
action as a mediator to bring about
peace between beer drinking and non
beer-drinking citizens, who have been
litigating over Sunday laws and saloons
with much asperity and bitterness. But
the Patriot fails to tell the truth as to
the danger of riot and blood-shed aris-
ing from the 'spotters.
The "spotters'' were men furnished
with money, by the claw and Order
League" with which to lure saloonists
to sell to them malt, vinous or spirituous
liquors on Sunday. The rage against
these hired spies made the danger, and
the employers of the spies were the di-
rect cause of the peril.
A man can not be called honest
merely because he sees nothing to steal,
nor temperate because he can get moth
ing to drink. Ninety men out Of
hundred can taste or not taste, drink or
not drink, as they will to do. Ten out
of hundred can not safely taste or
drink any stimulant. Prohibition
promises to make law to save the ten,
no matter how much it may incon-
venience or wrong the ninety. Men can
not be made honest by legislation,
neither can legislation make them tenn
perate. To abolish all horses because
horse stealing is such common crime
would be as logical as to abolish all
stimulants because drunkenness is like
wise a common crime. Because, in
Utah, there was an epidemic of polyga-
nous matrimony land some saints had the
very delirium tremens Of nervousness
is no reason for prohibiting marriage.
But our prohibition friends reason in
such way that, logically and consist

Some religious

PRAYER.

can obtain results in matters over which
they have no personal control by fervid
and earnest prayers. And equally SEN
sible and reverent men do not believe
that supplication can be potential in get
ting results. Has prayer ever produced
rain? If so, when and where? This is
statistical inquiry, and if, during the
last five centuries, at any time, univer-
sal praying has brought about the down
pour of needed. rain, church histories
and church almanacs have certainly
recorded the facts.
An argument in favor of the efficacy
of prayer may be drawn from the gen.
eral use of it. The greater part of
mankind, during all historic ages, has
been accustomed to pray for temporal
advantages. How vain, it may be
urged, must be the reasoning that
ventures to oppose this mighty consen
sus of belief! Not so! The argument
proves too much, and is consequently
suicidal. 1t either compels us to make
the mOnstrOus admission that the prayers
of pagans, of fetch worshippers, and of
Tibetans who turn praying wheels, are
recompensed in the same way as those
of orthodox believers; or else the con-
census proves that it has no better foun-
dation than the very general tendency
of man to invest his God with the char
acter of human despot, who can be
swayed by entreaties and mollified by
supplications.
The collapse of this argument leaves
us solely concerned with the simple
statistical question: 'Are prayers
answered, or are they not?"
