HINTS FOR FEEDERS.
In Some Cases Grinding Feed for
Stock Pays, in Others 1t Is
Waste of Labor.

Prof. Henry, of the University OF
Wisconsin, gives the following ad-
vice regarding ground feed for
stock: ''This subject is a difficult
one to discuss owing to the great
variety of conditions existing as to
both grain and animals. Directions
are here given which may serve to
guide the feeder in his practice:
For horses which are out of the sta
BILE during the day and worked hard,
all grain, with the possible excep-
tion of oats, should be ground. For
those at extremely hard work, all
grain should be ground and mixed
with chaffed hay. For idle horses,
oats or corn should not be ground,
nor need the hay or straw be
chaffed A COW yielding a large flow
of milk should be regarded as hard
working animal and her feed pre-
pared accordingly. Fattening steers
and pigs may be crowded more rap
idly with meal than with whole
grain, though there is more danger
attendant upon its use. Sheep worth
feeding can always grind their own
grain. In general idle animals and
those having ample time for masti-
cation, rumination and digestion do
not need their grain or roughage
prepared as carefully as do those
with only limited time for these es-
sential operations. Experiments
quite generally show increased gains
from grinding grain, but in many
cases they are not sufficient to pay
the cost of grinding"

The Four DIS.

Charles Spurpeon once said that tn ere
were three great enemies to man-"dirt,
debt and the devil.'' ae might have added
one more and included dyspepsia. The
EVIL results of this disease could hardly he
exaggerated. It's effects are felt in mind
and body, and are as far reaching as the
effects of the curse that was laid on the
Jackdaw of Rheims which was cursed in
seating and drinking and sleeping, in stand
ing and sitting and lying" The good effects
of DR., Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
are most marked in aggravated and chronic
cases Of dyspepsia. 1t enables the stomach
glands to Secrete the necessary quantity of
digestive fluids, and this at once removes
that craving or gnawing sensation so com
mo to certain forms of Indigestion. 1t
mes and regulates the stomach, invigor-
ates the torpid liver and gives the blood
making glands keen assimilative power.
Golden Medical Discovery cures ninety
eight per cent. of those who use it. Or
Pierce's Pellets are superior to all other
laxative medicines when the bowles are OBJ
structed.

New Packing House PrOdu ct.

A new packing house product has
been placed on the market at whole
sale price said to be $1,000 the pound.
This medical substance is derived from
small gland in Matchmaking ma
terials, located in the region of the kid
neys. 1t is possessed of most wonder
full astringent properties and in very
minute quantities diluted with water
is used in operatins on the eye, nose,
throat and ear. So powerful is this
substance that one part dissolved in
100000 parts of water may be quickly
and readily detected by a simple test.
The solution being applied to the deli
cate structures of the parts named en-
tirely prevents bleeding. The active
principle of this new drug is called
renaline.-Breeders' Gazette.

Young Plants

Every farmer knows that
some plants grow better than
others. Soil may be the same
and seed may seem the same
but some plants are weak and
others strong.
And that's the way with
children. They are like young
plants. Same food, same home,
same care but some grow big
and strong while others stay
small and weak.
SCOTS Emulsion offers an
easy way out of the difficulty.
Child weakness often means
starvation, not because of lack
Of food, but because the food
does not feed.
SCOTS Emulsion reallyfeeds
and gives the child growing
strength.
Whatever the cause of weak
ness and failure to grow

| it and set the matter right.

following May, the citizens were for
hidden to allow chimneys and stove
pipes to burn out in dry weather. un
der penalty of 81, and each house
was required to keep fire bucket fOl
use in emergency.
This is really the beginning of the
Fire Department.
The first allowance made was il
1905. when the council voted f9 for si1
pairs of fire buckets, and in 1906 Geo
Mitchell contracted to build a brick
| engine house. For farther security
against fire the council in 1907, passed
an ordinance prohibiting any one te
''smoke segars or pipes in any street
alley or stable yard in Staunton."
In the summer of 1908 it was ordered
"that henceforth there snail be no fire
whatever kept in the chimney of Phil
| ip Cloniriger, and if fire be found in
said chimney hereafter. it shall be the
duty of the mayor, or any justice, to
cause said chimney to be pulled down
and prostrated to the EARTH
In the early spring of 1872, owner
and tenant of houses were required to
keep two fire buckets, and the cham
berlain was instructed to purchase two
ladders, one large hook pole, one fork
pole, and chain, for the use of a reg
ularly organized company. f90 were
appropriated that year.
In 1928 an engine was purchased
from Philadelphia, with discharging
capacity of IS gallons of water per
minute.
In 1927 the Staunton Fire Co. dis
banded, but Mayor Samuel Clark took
command and protected the town very
satisfactorily with the help of volun-
teers.
On the 4th of Oc ober, 1888, a large
iDcendIary fire ragged on the corner of
Main and New streets-where Loeb
Bros. store now stands-and many
strangers, who were in attendance on
the Presbytery which was in session,
work intelligently and faithfully for
hours with the citizens, before they
could suppress it. The thanks of the
community, through the council, were
rendered them for their timely help In
o ,tober following another incendiary
fire was started, reward of $500 was
offered for the arrest of the culprit,
and the ablebodied men organized
themselves into an efficient corps for
the suppression of fire and for fur
tier protection, the merchants were
to discontinue the sale Of
luciter and other matches. In No
vember of that year the county court
of Augusta donated $125 to purchase
buckets and hose for the town. In 1889
the old company was reorganized and
q hose carriage bought
On March 21, 1857, the Augusta Fire
Company was organized with forty
and the fire engine was
placed under their control.
In September, 1872, Hook and Lad
der Company was organized with q
members.
The reader will notice that those
who first took charge of the govern
ment for the borough of Staunton"
were as careful to protect the people
against the fire scourge as their fol-
lowers, and step by step the depart
ment has been improved, until today
it is one of the best that Virginia can
boast. ALFRED LAURIOT.

REQUEST is FLATLY REFUSED
However, the Demand for Books. Etc.

Chairman A. @. Bivins, of the newly
constituted and duly elected board of

m 4de a formal demand of Secretary
Daniel, of the old police board, for the
books and records of that department
to the end that the new board might
enter upon a discharge of its officisl

The request of Chairman Bivins was,
of course, refused.
In fact, nothing else could have been
expected, as the police board muddle
is now in the superior court and tick
eted through to the higher court for a
final settlement.
However, 1t was necessary, from a
legal standpoint, that this formal de-
mand for the books and records be
made upon the part of the new com

probably got what he expected re-
