Conservatism in using the I.Orenz
method is at the present time most ad-
visable by American surgeons. There
has been created such an alarming in
terest in the operation by the news
papers that there is danger that opera
lions may be undertaken by the I'M
skilled and the procedure be brought
into disrepute. The conditions that
limit the choice Of cases fit for the
operation should be most carefully
studied. 1t cannot be forgotten that
even In the hands Of one so expert
enced and successful as Lorenz him
self only about onehalf the operations
are successful 1t is, moreover, the
Opinion of some thoughtful men that
the operation with the knife may final
,ly prove preferable, even in patients Of
six years and less. 1t Is also to be
remembered that the primary success
in getting the head OF the femur into
its socket still leaves the greater part
of the work, and often the most diff
cult. to be carried out In the long and
delicate munipulations and care re-
uuired after the cast IS removed. What
ever method may finally gain prece

can result from haste and recklessness

FEEDING FLOOR FOR cATTL
POULTRY NOTES.

Warm houses aid winter egg produc-
ton. Look ahead and build right.
Keep the young stock growing. The
profit of the year may depend on prop
err food and care now.
Weed out the male birds early. They
will bring more now than later, in pro-
portion to the cost of production.
IF number Of males are to be kept
for sale as breeders, separate them
from the pullets and hens. 1t is better
for the flock.
Remember that fifty fowls of good
breed, well kept will produce more
eggs than one hundred neglected, no
matter what the breed may be.
Have a futter keg or barrel lined
with hay in which to drop beheaded
chickens. Saves running after them,
and they will not bruise themselves.

Mr.. Yarrow, the celebrated English
shipbuilder, comes out strongly
against the submarine boat as war
craft. He says that he has no faith
whatever in the submarine boat, either
for offensive or for defensive purposes.
He does not consider that anything
practical will ever result from the ex-
periments which all maritime nations
are making in this direction. Sub
marines, IL entirely successful or other

THE BALKY HORSE.

Balky horses are usually so by bad
training and handling of the owner. A
correspondent of the HOrseshoers'
Journal gives the following remedy in
such cases. He says:
"When horse balks, no matter how
badly he sulks or how ugly he Is, do
not beat him; don't throw sand In his
ears; don't use rope on his forelegs
or even burn straw under him. Quietly
60 and pat him on the head moment;
take hammer or even pick up stone
in the street; tell the driver to sit still;
take his lines, hold them quietly, while
you lift up either front foot; give each
nail light tap and good smart tap
on the frog; drop the foot quickly, and
then chirp to him to go. In ninety-nine
cases out Of 100 the horse will go right
on about his business, but the driver
must keep his lines taut and not pull
or jerk him back If have tried this
once l have tried 1t 500 times. This
may make you smile, but horse has
more common sense than most people
are willing.to give him credit for. The
secret of this little trick is simply di-
version. 1 am firm believer that with
kindness and proper treatment a
horse can be driven with string"

pIcions. and when the booty was
brought out little by little. she had
no doubt her fears were well founded.
and II her sudden death by poison had
not prevented she might have made the
crime public.
The sum secured from the person and
effects of the murdered man was over
$500 In gold and rich and rare jewelry
worth from $500 to $500 more.
1t was about ten years after his mis-
hap on the coast when Colonel Kenyon
returned to England. On one occasion,
MS he was travelling through the north
ern part Of the country, and night COM
ing on, he was compelled to seek ac-
cOmmOdatiOns at country inn.
He was waited upon by a pleasant,
laxative girl, about sixteen years OF
age, who was dressed with more neat
ness than usually characterized females
of her class.
While being served, the Colonel no.
ticed a peculiar charm she wore about
her neck, and, on obtaining her permits
sion to examine 1t, he was struck with
the greatest establishment ut the dis.
cOvery that 1t was one Of the jewels
of which he had been robbed ten years
before, and still had his engraved
monogram upon it.
His first impulse was to seize 1t, de.
clare the crime, and demand of whom
she had obtained the stolen property,
but he controlled himself and began
to joke her about the trinket, saying he
supposed 1t must have been presented
by lover. This she denied, but he
appeared unwilling to accept her de
NAL, and finally asked who gave 1t to
her. II not her lover. She replied that
1t was presented to her by her father
many years ago.
Colonel Kenyon expressed himself sat
lstied and dropped the subject; in fact.
however, he was far from being salts
fed, and as soon as the meal was over
he made his way to the nearest magis'
trate, and placed the matter In the
hands Of the authorities.
Early the next morning the Sheriff
made his appearance, and father and
daughter were both placed under ar
rest. A search of the premises brought
to light several articles of jewelry
which the Colonel identified beyond a
shadow of doubt.
The innkeeper was then examined,
and at first denied all knowledge Of the
goods, or that he ever gave his daugh.
ter the charm which had first attracted
Colonel Kenyon's attention; but when
he learned how fully everything had
been identified, he became greatly
frightened, and finally confessed the
crime, with all the details given above,
and the remains of the victim were
found as originally buried. The man
he had murdered was proved to have
been the robber Of Colonel Kenyon,
who was escaping with his booty when
retributive justice overlook him in the
manner described.
At his trial the accused reiterated his
previous confession, and was convicted
and duly executed. A large portion
of the property was secured by Colonel
Kenyon, who settled ESQ upon the or.
phaned daughter Of the criminal.-Ne
