Bates county land owners and real

considerable work along this line

notable specimens IN grasses. He has
some timothy which measures six feet

Can't At Warreusburg.

There was some foolish talk in the
papers last week as to possible dis
courtesies which might be shown Judge

Confederate reunion at Warrensburg.
There Is no likelihood of any discour-

COLD AND TYPHOID BACILLI.
Fever Germs Have Lived In Ice as
Long as Six Months.


The germs Of typhoid fever can be
effectively killed by raising the tenn
perature of any fluid which contains
them to the boiling point, and also
by the application of certain chem
ioalS. But cold, while exerting an
u~nfavOrable influence, is not always
fatal. These bacilli, generally speak
ing, are tougher than those of most
other diseases. Instances are on rec
ord Of their surviving a six months
freeze.
The important inference from
these facts, says the New York Trib-
une, is that ice may be a source Of
typhoid infection. Fortunately, this
happens very rarely. All the same,
the possibility ought to be kept in
mind, One should be scrupulous
aboutthe source from which his ice is
obtained. When it is procured from
an intelligent and conscientious
dealer, or a company that fully un-
derstands its business, there is little
occasion for worry. When a man
harveSts his own ice he ought to sat
isfy himself that the pond from
which he takes it receives no drain
age from a populated district. Filth
from a single farm, thrown out on
the bare ground, led to the epidemic
of typhoid at Stanford university in
California last spring.
If ice could be used in such a man
ner that it w~ouldchill a fluid which is
to be drunk, but without having q
chance to dissolve therein one could
be sure of protection against infec-
ton from this source Glue pots and
some kettles for cooking food are
arranged with double walls. Alayer
of water between these becomes
heated, and eventually raises the
temperature Of the material in the
inner vessel. A water tank arranged
on that principle would be a good
thing.

The feeding of oats In the sheaf is no
new thing, in fact it is the old way Of
feeding this grain to the grain eating
and fodder eating animals. Forty and
fifty years ago it vas quite common
among the farmers OF the eastern states
to raise oats for sheep feed, to be
stacked and fed out to the sheep, during
the winter from the sheaf. 1t was the
custom to cut in the swath, then rake,
bind and shock, where il would again
have the benefit of a season Of curing
before it was put into the stack or NOW,
the purpose being to put the oats, both
grain ard straw, into the best possible
condition for feed.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion OF the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, aud that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
infamed condition of the mucous lining
of the eustachian tube. When this
tube is infamed you have a rumbliug
sound or imperfect hearing, and when
it is entirely closed, deafness is the
result, and unless the inflammation can
be taken out and this tube restored to
Its normal condition hearing will be
destroyed forever /; nine cases out of ten
are caused by catarrh, which is nothing
but an inaamed condition of the
mucous surfaces.

fault. However, says the New York
Tribune, if they are properly made
and are large, and if those who refer
to them know what mental cOrree-
tiOns to apply to the indications OF
the shadow, these interesting lnstru-i
ments will have a practical value,
aside from their ornamental and his
toric character.
Owing to astronomical causes
which are well known, but which 1t Is
not necessary here to specify the
sun itself is not an accurate time
keeper. 1t is not on the meridian
exactly at noon every day in the
year. In fact, it is there only four
times in IL months. AT the opening
of the year it is not far out Of the
way, but on February 10 it is 10 min
utes slow, compared with a clock
which is as perfect as man can make
it. On May 13 it is four minutes
fast, on July 81 six minutes slow,
and on October q 16 minutes ahead
of the clock. Keeping these eccen-
t%ricities in mind, and making the
proper discounts, one a with prac-
tice get within two or three minutes
Of the right time on any day Of the
year, if there is sunshine, and if the
dial is mounted correctly.
In a previous article on this sub
ject it was pointed out that the up
right triangular plate which caste
the shadow should stand in a north
and south plane. Perhaps it will as
sist in accurately locating the plate
if the maker sets it up on or near one
of the four days when the sun is
neither fast nor slow. These are
April Is, June 10, August 81 and
December "a. Another precaution
is to be observed when laying out 4
north and south line. The compass
needle does not point due north ex-
cept in a few places. In most parts
of the country there is a slight varia-
tion from the true north. Surveyors
and mariners are familiar with that
fact. The amount of variation is
very slowly changing, too. Since ac-
curacy of adjustment is essential to
satisfactory timekeeping with a sun
dial, information should be obtained
from a surveyor or other competent
person about the necessary correc-
tions to apply to the readings of .
compass.
