James Polling is authority for the
statement that salt if given in time
to cattle that have eaten green Kaffir
corn or sorghum will save their lives.
He says the salt should be placed in
the mouth as far back as possible and
water poured in to make the amman
swallow it. If this remedy is applied
in time he says it never fails to cure
them.
Fred Borrell and his two sons were
arrested last Tuesday on complaint of
a. c. Mende for disturbing the peace.
The parties seem to have had trouble
over some cattle. The trial occurred
Thursday. The boys were discharged
but Mr.. BorrelI was found guilty and
fined So and costs. The case was tried
by jury before Justice Moore. Coun-
ty Attorney BisSell appeared for the
state and r. Frank StinSon for the
defendant.
VIII Brainerd received the sad no.
tice yesterday morning of the death
of his Grandfather Brainerd in Iowa
City Wednesday morning. He was
one of the pioneers of that section of
Iowa and for many years published
the leading paper of Iowa City. He
goes to his reward full of years and
honor, having lived a life of useful
ness for more than fourscore years.
The sympathy of their many friends
in this county is extended to Mr..
Brainerd and family in this their hour
of mourning.
A. Fl. Moses, formerly of Logan,
writing to the HERALD from Lake
Mills, Ia, says among other things:
1.-THE weather here is intensely hot,
the thermometer reaching the 100
mark almost every day. In the CEN
trail and southeastern portion of the
state the corn and gardens are practi-
cally ruined. In the northern part
they are burning up daily and it is
only question of a few more hot days
when all this country will take on a
Kansas hot wind appearance. Har-
veSting is now in full blast. The
grain is somewhat Shrunken, being
too quickly under the hot suns rays
Evidently no effort has been spared
to make the Ladies' Home Journal
for August a positive boon to its read
ers during these warm midsummer
days. It's light, readable articles,
bright stories, clever poems, charm
ing music and numerous beautiful il
Illustrations afford the easiest and
kind of entertainment for
leisure hours. Enchanting views of
the lovely scenery in the Engadine
Valley and among the Swiss and Ital-
ian lakes, as well as such delightful
articles as 1.-The Singing Village OF
Germany" and "What Girl-Life in
Italy Means" allure the thoughts to
foreign lands while there are timely
about ''The Picnic BaS-
ket, ," Excepting q House Cool in the
Dog Days." and Seaside Toys and
How to Make Them'' Other thor
oughly interesting contributions are

" "My Boarding School for
Girls" and the usual serial and de-
oartment articles. By the Curtis
