lid on the can and hang 1t in the well.
1t does not matter whether it Is in

Salt it, using pure salt. and mold it
as quick as possible. Wrap each pound

Get you an empty butter keg from
your grocery man. bore holes near the
top just below the lid, take a piece
OF new rope and make a handle. put
nice. clean, new white paper in the bot

other piece OH top just below the lid
and hang it in the well. Paper Is bet
ter than cloth, as the cloth mildews.

used. We have separator: we sell

Stomach StaEgers in Horses.


Quite a common form of indigestion
among horses is stomach staggers hay
ing the following symptoms: The ears
drOop forward. the eyes are dull. the
animal sweats profusely under even
light labor and seems to have little
control over the hind quarters at times.
During a portion of the time the appe-
tte is almost ravenous, at other times
there seems to be little appetite. When
the symptoms named appear the corn
should be cut out OF the diet and the
grain ration materially reduced.
Change the entire ration as much as
possible and keep the bowels in good
condition. Dissolve one ounce Of ylau-
Der salts in the drinking water twice
daily or give as drench il the animal
will not drink. If the daZed or sleepy
symptoms continue give n purge Of
salts and afterwards drachm doses Of
iodide Of potash three times daily until
the sleepy feeling passes off.

The Banana Plant.

The banana was named musa after
AntOninus MuSa. the freedman and
physician Of the great Augustus of the
Romans. says Linnaeus. The sapicn-
tum-the Wiseness-in its name is Il
graceful tribute to it as the "wse
mans food" for, incredible as it may
SEEM it is perhaps the best food pro.
ductive than either wheat or potatoes
the staple food Of other nations. Long
ago 1t was calculated that it Is 1873
times as productive as wheat and "A
times as productive as the potato; in
other words. that the ground that
would give 33 pounds Of wheat or 90
pounds of potatoes would. as far as
mere space Is concerned, give 1000
pounds Of bananas. and with frac-
tiOnal amount Of the same trouble. 1t
has been called the prince of the Trop-
ics," because it takes the same place,
only to an even greater degree, in these
hot countries that wheat. rye and bar
ley take in West Asia and Europe. and
that rice takes in India and China.

for the fourth member of the gang.

The Hague. Holland.-The Arbitra'

decided that Mexico shall pay the Uni

rency. The decision Of the Court.
which Is the first handed down by that
body. was unanimous.
The tribunal found that the amount
TO be paid to the United States would
cover the total payment Of annuities
due from and unpaid by the Govern
ment OF the Mexican Republic. namely.
the annual payment Of $43.050.99 In
Mexican currency from February :,

The tribunal also found that Mexico
shall pay to the United States, on Feb

In 1907 the Pious Fund was formed
by gifts from benevolent persons made
in trust to the Jesuits for establishing
and supporting Roman Catholic mis-.
sions in the CALIFORNIA;. In 1857 the
Spanish Government expelled the Jes.
uits and took all their property. which
was afterward administered by the
Franciscans. When Mexico gained in.
dependence she took charge Of the
fund. and In 1912 sold the properties
and guaranteed to the church authori.
ties six per cent. interest on It In per-
petuity.
When California was ceded to the
United States Mexico stopped paying
this interest. In 1869 Sir Edward
Thornton made an award in the case
I'm favor OF the church authorities. and
Mexico paid $904.7O arrears. since
which time she has paid nothing.
