The Quarantine Against the Mill
District Raised

AT meeting of the Town board
OF health Saturday, DR.. j. F.
Mackey. the physician placed in
charge of the smallpox cases In the
cotton mill district by the state
board OF health, furnished the
board with the requisite certificate
that all cases of smallpox In the
mill district and all exposed por-
sons had been placed under strict
quarantine and guarded and would
be kept SO until all danger of their
communicating the disease to 9th
ers had passed, and that all per-
sons except a few invalids had
been vaccinated and that thew
would be as soon as their condi
ton would permit, the board de-
cided to raise the quarantine which
was done. The town council was
notified of the action of the board
of health and at a call meeting
there appearing no further neces.
sity for the continuance of the
quarantine on its part also raised
the quarantine 1t had established
against the mill district.
AS stated in our last issue we
think all danger is passed, and we
feel as safe from smallpox las
coon feels up tree with the axe
lost. " Everybody else seems to
feel the same way and to be en-
tlrely over the scare of two weeks
ago when it was announced that
Mr.. Dunlap had the disease.
Prompt quarantine and vaccina-
ton is certainly the sure means to
stamp outsmallpox.

Mrs Bryant Williams, who
lives six miles east of Monroe,
saw large hawk swoop down up
on one of her chickens last Satur
day. Mrs. Williams seized a
yard broom and made for the
hawk. The bird of prey left the
chicken and to Mrs. Williams
surprise attacked her, but in the
battle Mrs. Williams came out
victorious, and welded her broom
so skillfully that she soon killed
the hawk. Monroe Enquirer.

Feeding Rye To Pigs.

In some German experiments the
comparative value Of rye, barley and
milk were tested as pig feed. Rye as
distinguished from barley was not
eaten readily when fed in large
amounts and sometimes 1t was re-
fused altogether The conclusion was
reached that although large amounts
OF rye can hc fed successfully, such
rations cannot long be continued.
The conclusion of the whole matter
seems TO be that rye may be prohtably
used as feeding stun, but II should
be soaked or carefully ground. ON
account of the low content of crude
fiber and the high digestibility OF fat
this grain cannot be recommended as
concentrated food for horses or young
cattle. When on account Of low cost
rye must be used. other feeding stulfs
should be chosen, SO that the neccs-
sary coarse food is supplied. No in
jury was observed when rye was fed,
except in the case of pigs fed this
grain alone. Such injury the expert.
menters believe to bc due to ether
causes.

Feeding IIoTEfG

The ordinary horse has n stomach
with a capacity of somewhere be
tween three and four gallons, and yet
| have frequently seen men give their
horses regularly hay enough TO Ill

Such course Is entirely wrong, ana
the feeder has TO make but a few com
parisons in order 20 come 10 such a
conclusion. / can recall from my own
experience in feeding horses. | used
TO feed as though the horses were
oxen, and thought / was doing right.
The mangcr was filed quite full OF
hay. and yet some way the horses got
rid Of IL. But il was mistake be-
cause Il hurt the horses, and was poor
economy. Now We are feeding per
haps not half what we used 10 feed
IN the way OF coarse fodder, and am
satisfied that the horses, and the same
teams at that, keep IN better condi-
ton the year round. besides saving
that large amount Of hay.
The horses stomach Is built for more
highly concentrated feed than the OK.
lie cannot take the same Kind simply
because be has not the capacity 20 d.

ishment. The result n, when such n
course Is followed, that the horse be-
comes badly pot.bellied. and Il unable

portion Of its nOurishment The most
experienced teamsters are relying on

With a Head For "FiEgers."

Only three women have taken de
crees at the University of Berlin. Two
are Americans, and one Jewess. The
latter was one of the first women TO
enter the university and the first TO
win a degree. Her name Is Bertha
Neumann. and her father keeps a
music store in Berlin. She Is n phe-
nomenal mathematician, with head
for figgers." that made the learned
pundits OF the university wonder ana
admire As one OF them remarked,
"she can calculate an eclipse without
using pencil or paper, and can recite
pRgcs OF logarithms from memory
The second girl to ,ake a degree was
Miss Caroline I. Stewart, Of Texas,
whose graduating thesis was on Ger
manic philology, and they say it was
the most learned ana comprehensive
essay on that subject ever read by
the instructors in German literature.
Miss Stewart and her sister came 10
Berlin in 1895 from Bryn Mawr Col
lege, having previously graduated al
Michigan University, and Miss Caro-
line took her degree last year. She
has returned TO the United States

Retaliation oi age.

Two gentlemen who had slipped pas,
the meridian OF life without hardly OBJ
serving the fact were talking about
ages while eating a deliberate luncheon
a couple OF days ago, when one Of them
told a story which embodies the expert
ence OF more than one man. 1T really
came 10 me with q little shock" he
said. Il took q sleeper at ST. Louis
for New York, and there were only
half a dozen men aboard when ! re-
tired for the night. In the morning,
while in the toilet-room brushing my
hair. ! saw in the mirror the reflection
OF the back OF an old gentleman ! did
not remember seeing before. lie ap-
peared much older than any man had
noticed on the car the night before,
and ! made up my mind that he had
come aboard after ! lad gone TO bed.
I watched the reflection while arrang-
ing my hair, and then turned. intend
ing 10 speak TO the old gentleman. You
can imagine my surprise when | found
that | had been looking at the rehec-
tion nf nv own hack -
