Soon afteri reaching California Mr.. and
Mrs. Peters were attacked with what
they thought to be malarial fever, and
getting no relief they decided to return
to Sherman county. Mr.. Peters has done
so well in the stock business here that it
is probable that he viii again buy land

It begins to look as though the cattle
receipts this fall will be lighter than the
heavy supply sent to market year ago,
says the Kansas City Telegram. The
third week Of August is now under way
and supplies do not augment as rapidly
as usual for this time Of year. In this
week last year almost $1,000 were re-
cieved, while it is safe to say that $4,000
viii cover this weeks supply. OF course
the reason Of the difference is not hard
to find, at least a reason that answers
the purpose. There has as yet been nc
great incentive to range men to market
their stuff. StOckers and feeders are
considerably below the prices current al
this time last year.

necessary. The distance between the
posts and the number of wires to be
used depends on the stock to be in
closed.
Three or four sharp barbed wires
driven tight will easily turn cattle.
Wires of this sort should not be placed
near buildings where horses are liable
to run into them. For such purposes l
prefer smooth or woven wire, as it is
much safer. have several miles of
barbed wire fence, and never had an
accident to any of my stock except
last summer, and in that instance it
was on account of the carelessness of
the animals. Lightning struck the tree
and the bolt few off on the wire and
killed two fine cows which happened
to be near the place where it ran off
and grounded.
An anchor, such as is shown in the
other cut at Fig. 2, can be used to
good advantage, as it needs no wooden
brace. This, of course, can be used
only in places where the brace wire
would not be an obstruction. l have

sort in use, and find they are very sat

JUST TRY RUNNING.
Kt VIII Give Color nnd bright Eyes
to the Girl Who Practices IL
Every Morning.

To take a mile run daily, as a man
in training would do, is the best way
in the world for girl to get color
into her cheeks and sparkle into her
eyes.
"If girls would turn their attention
to running, they would find it the most
oxhilarating pastime in the world, as
well as one of the most healthful,"
says an authority on athletics. BE
sides adding roses to the cheeks and
inches to the lungs, running is the
stout woman's best resource.
LET her take brisk run daily, be-
ginning with few yards and getting
up to mile or thereabouts and she
will not need to resort to diet-that
most melancholy and depressing
method of reducing avoirdupois."
If a run cannot be taken daily out
of doors, the running track found at
every we'll equipped gymnasium should
be utilized. A run out of doors, how
ever is the ideal practice, for fresh air
is one of the important factors of the
sport. 1t Is fresh air that gives girl
bewitching color in her cheeks and
purifies every drop of blood in her
body.
After little practice girl can run
half mile without stopping. Then let
her pause for a two-minute rest before
doing the next half mile. Run brislIly,
but not at top speed.
Without question, one of the best
exercises in the world for girls is rum
ming. 1t contributes for one thing that
elasticity without which grace is i'm
possible, and spurs every bodily func-
ton to its appropriate duty.
Other things being equal, the girl
who knows how to run, and does run,
will outclass in general attractiveness
the girl who does not. She will carry
herself more gracefully. Her pose will
be easy; she will be better set up, and
generally better able to take care OF
herself in society or out of it.-N. Y.

BRIEFLY DESCRIPTIVE.
Not Many Words Required to TeKH
How the Whole Thing
Happened.

Private" John Allen, according to thar
New York Times, is responsible for this
one:
Last year there were a number OF
claims for damages brought against one
of the railroads in Mississippi by the farm
ers in certain county of that state
Those claims arose out of the fact that
many hogs had been killed by the TRAINS
of the railroads in question. A mixed
commission was, formed of railroad mcza
and others to determine tie equity of
these claims. Among others questioneta
by this commission was an old darky who
claimed to have been an eyewitness nG
the annihilation of one hog.
Said the chairman of the commission to
Zeph:,.
"Tell us, in as few words as possible,
how this hog was killed"
Old Zeph shifted. huge cud of tobacco
from one cheek to the other, cleared his
throat, and then replied

DREAD POTATO BLIGHT.
Agricultural Scientists Should Use
Their Best Endeavors to Stamp
Out This Disease.

The potato blight is a point that our
scientific investigators ought to work
at until they can help the farmers to
master the conditions. The expert
ment stations do not seem so far to
have done more than explain the ma
ture of the pest Bordeaux mixture is
recommended; but it must be borne in
mind that Bordeaux is not SO much a
remedy as a preventive. So far as we
can get at the subject now, it seems
probable that farmers will be doing the
right thing by spraying their potatoes
all summer-beginning as soon as the
first of July. The loss this year Is sim
ply enormous, striking out the profits
of many farms altogether. My own
plan has been to dig up potatoes as
soon as the blight shows on top.
then give thorough drying and store

LADY DEERHURST.

to become the countess of Coventry.
Lady Deerhurst was Miss Virginia
Daniels, although prior to her mar
riage she was more frequently known
as Miss Bonynge, the name she took
as the stepdaughter of Charles
Bonynge, the mining millionaire, for
merly of California and New York, and
now of Princes Gate, London.
Princess Christian, the kings sis
ter, is devoted to Lady Deerhurst, and
stood sponsor for her little girl, while
the king himself IS godfather to the
Deerhurst boy, aged two.
In spite of the money in the Deer
hurst marriage there was and is much
love as well. Lady Deerhurst. being one
of the most amiable as we'll as beauti-
full of women, is really adored by her
husband
The future earl is cheerful, placid,
prosperous. He is brother to the dash
ing Capt. Coventry, who is one of much
courted society beaux.
Lady Deerhurst is said to love the
name of "Deerhurst," subsidiary title
in the Coventry family, and in no
hurry to change it for Coventry. But
when she does her dignity as a countess
will place her we'll to the front as a
grande dame among American women
in English society.

AN EVIL IN FOOD THE LAW
SHOULD REACH.

In reference to the use of alum balS-
ing powders Prof. Schweitzer, of the
State University of Missouri, says:
the soluble salts Of alumina upon the
human system, even when used in
small quantities, are too we'll known
to need relating; their use in baking
powder is dangerous, and should be re-
strlcted."
The effects of the continuous use Of
alum baking powders are thus summed
up in a medical publication
"Alum taken into the stomach re-
tards the digestion of the food.
'It is an irritant which inflames and
irritates the stomach and intestinal ca
nal.
ut is an astringent and tends to cen-
stipate the bowels, which interferes
with digestion.
at renders the albumen Of the food
partially insoluble, and therefore takes
away from its nutritive value.
at is absorbed into the blood, which
1t tends to thicken and coagulate. The
free flow of the blood through the or
gans of the heart is thus retarded.
"Its continued absorption into the
system causes some forms of nervous
prostrations and many of those affec-
tions of the nerves from which both
women and men suffer.
fourteen grains of alum have caused
the death of a child. Larger doses have
frequently resulted fatally in the case
of adults.
'No drug so powerful and deadly, no
matter in what proportions it may be
employed, can safely be used in any
article of food"

A Cheap Fence for Ducks.

AS large ducks do not attempt to fly
over a low fence, an excellent mode OF
making a cheap fence for ducks is to
take two pieces of scantling one by three
inches, known as shingling-lath, and
saw as many laths in half as may be
desired. The sawed laths will be two
feet long. Nail them to the scantling,
the laths being two inches apart Let
the ends of the lath extend three inches
above and below the scantling, which
brings the scantling about foot apart
You will then have panel that can be
fastened to short posts. A fence two
feet high is sufficient to cone Pekin

BRACE FOR WIRE FENCE.

ground, as shown in the accompany
ing illustration at Fig. 1.
This serves double purpose, as it
not only holds the post in a firm posi-
ton, but if one of the posts rots out
and has to be replaced it can be easily
done b. loosening the brace wire at
the top of the post. BY bracing in this
manner the wires cannot slack. The
brace wires should be twisted tightly,
using for this purpose piece of iron
rather than wood. Holes should be
bored in the first post to draw against
the face to keep it from twisting. Do
not drive the staples clear in, and then
you can tighten the wires whenever
