has a right to the mistress interest and
watchfulness. Too many domestics
lacking friendliness and interest in the
home and without acquaintance or
friends, seek companionship on the
streets, and to companionships thus in
augurated there is usually but one end.
The mistress must accept her share OF
responsibility for all this. She is her
sisters keeper. That the hired gin IS
ignorant and touched with the silly
romanticisln Of the cheap novel fails to
lift this responsibility. The Christian
debt and duty OF one woman to another
is not defined by differences In wealth
or education. If girls were more faith
full and mistresses mire kind there
would be fewer girls starving as sales

domestic service. With it's promise OF
good homes and respectable wages, at

Sunstroke of Horses,

DR.. A. S. Alexander, veterinarian of
the Wisconsin Agricultural college,
has issued press bulletin on this Sub
IJect which Is timely. The essential
points are as follows:
During periods of excessive heat
when work horses in the field or upon
the streets, are liable to suffer from
sunstroke or 'overheating' much may
do done by the owner to lessen tho
likelihood of an attack. Seeing that ar
fected horses are usually those that
are sick or soft every possible means
should be taken to prevent indigestion
and to fit the animals to withstand
labor in hot weather. Horses under 5
years of age are more apt to suffer
should be worked lightly during the
hot weather. as should new purchases,
and horses being acclimated in new
location. Indigestion, the common
forerunner of sunstroke. Is Indicated
by dullness, sluggishness, thick urine,
painting at light labor, sweating in
stable, and the changeable character
of the manure, which Is normal some
days, and again clay colored, mucous
covered, or an indigested. offensive
mass. When so affected 1t Is extremely
dangerous to work the animal in extra
hot weather. Slight change Of food,
more care In feeding, rest, and simple,
correctiveness are required in such
cases. Choose the coolest hours for
work and change teams often during
sultry, moist weather, when thunder
storms are prevalent.
Horse lags, requires urging, may
pass soft manure, and gas, sweats but
dries off suddenly, becomes weak, stag
gers, pants. has dialated nostrils, anx-
ious countenance, weak, rapid pulse.

may fall at once, show above symptoms
and die in few minutes or hours after

POISONING Ground Hogs.

Writing to his local paper, an Illman
farmer says:
II have succeeded In killing this
troublesome animal in our meadows
with the frequently recommended drug,
bisulphide of carbon, which may be OBJ
tanned at the druggists and cost about
80 cents per pound. One pound is suffi-
cient for perhaps thirty or forty doses.
This is n liquid and can be handled as
safely as gasoline, but must be kept
from fire. as it is inflanmable, but of
quite a different odor from gasoline. as
one smell will prove. No harm is done
if it is spilled on the hands: its fumes
are what Is death to the ground hog.
Digging out a ground hog is usually
accomplished but once, for 1 believe
dug meandering trenches sixty or sew
enty feet and nearly three feet deep to
get these two. The digging was not
so much to get them as to know the
results of the drug. and hereafter when
the drug is put down the hole, If they
do not dig out, that shall be proof pos
tive to me that the drug does the work.
My plan was to form some balls,
about two inches In diameter, OF OLD
dry clothes wound loosely, so that they
will hold the liquid; follow the ground
hog to the hole, pour tablespoonful or
two of the carbon on the ball, roll 1t
down the hole as far as possible. and
stop up the hole. Better do this to all
the holes of that den, to make sure he
gets a dose. The watch for another
ground hog. Do no shooting for he
won't stand fire. Better do this on
warm days, and before the grass gets
high. and only when a ground hog is
seen"

FuruRE OF COUNTY JOURNALISM.

make two newspapers grow where one

has been perfected whereby the Bee

t.nued ana the other greatly enlarged
and improved, starting out with a sub
scription list of 1000.
Viewed from every point the above
move will prove OF increased benefits to
both public and publisher. 1t has been
the contention of the T.-R. for some
time that the average Iowa town has
too many newspapers and too seldom
real good one. What has been accom-
plished in Jefferson Will make better

1000 is to be retained the new Bee

ton abroad because Of its newspaper.
We have often noticed in the trade
publications put out by ready-print and
patent pdate houses editorial arguments
warning the county newspaper that
free rural delivery means its undoing,

out to a not distant farm recently to

found that Il ripe field and lack of
sufficient male help had brought the
young farmers good wife to the field,
where sitting on the big binder driv-
ing four large horses, she had convert
ed the standing grain of the field into
bundles, which the young husband was
getting into shock as fast as possible.
But that in accomplishing her part

cut as much as is usually done IL. day.
The big horses coming around at the
corners on a trot and keeping the flying
sickle busily at work, and that it was

middle of the big field, with supper time
at hand. that she noticed something
going different with the binding APP
paratus-a bolt had dropped out-but
the bundles kept dropping, the big team
kept going and she finished the field
and binder at the same time.

THE HIRED GIRL.

The Cedar Fails papers have been
discussing the question of domestic help
and especially the causes that make
house help scarce. The Record attrib-
ntes the scarcity to harsh treatment of
Ghe domestics by their mfstesses and
extends Its sympathy to the bird girl.
The Gazettes sympathy is extended
more to their mistresses. The Record
would have the girl. circumstances per-
uniting, eat with the family and would
ostracise the harsh mistress from So
cfety rather than the girl whose ostra-
ciEm is practically complete. The Ga
zette asserts she must learn to handle
her job as men do and expect nothing
but her pay for her labor.
The great reason for the scarcity of
hired girls Is the inherent distate of the
American man or woman to enter the
servant class. The question OF eating
with the family" is not burning one
with the domestic for any other reason
but the tacit admission OF equality that
goes with a seat at the common board.
The girl desires to be considered as
good as her mistress. Sometimes she
is better. Oftener she is worse, but
good or bad she Graves the recognition
of equality. Not a social equality, for
there are few girls who lay claim on
their employers friends or dream of be-
Ing included in the invitations the
family receives, but the recognition OF
the old Adamic relation CT all humanity
to enc another. That IS what the girl
wants most and needs and the employ
Ing woman who is broad enough to rec
ogntzes this natural sfsterhood of the
hired woman rarely fails to secure help
and keeps it even tho the yoke be
heavy with children and hard work. IT
is the little expressed sympathies and
interest which bind 20 the favored
mistress, not gifts of worn garments.
Men wide enough apart in social po-
sition. but thrown together In their
work, strike up very sincere and last
ing friendships thru their propinquity.
The employer and his employee, each
appreciative of the manliness and ca
liabilities of the other, become genuine
friends and a severance CT business re-
lations Is the cause of real regret. 1t is
not question of paying and being
paid altogether. 1t is the appreciation
of the one for the other that makes
good employees and good employers.

the girl than money. She must accept
responsibility for the hired girl when

Care of Swine on Pasture.

While there is, no doubt but what
pasture during the summer is desirable
FOR hogs as between house feeding ana
pasture without some grain, the former

Don't Set Eucalyptus Trees.

Recently an article has been gong
the rounds of the newspapers extollins
the eucalyptus as a tree for general
planting. The writer may have pos
sessed considerable knowledge regard
ing this tree, but he was wrong in say
ing that it was only suited to culture
in the southern states. In Australia
where the tree grows abdntantly, it is
commonly known as the gum tree, and
is valuable for it's wood, but, SIS stated,
1t is not sufficiently hardy to succeed
in the United States generally. we
have many native trees in this country
suited to different sections, and those
who are interested in tree planning
either for forest or for farm areas. may
obtain the desired information ABOUT
trees suited to their section from the
experiment station of the state IN
which they reside. The idea of setting
out forest trees is to be commended,
but care should be taken that only
trees suited to soil and climate be set.
Don't run after Australian trees, for
there are plenty of good species in This
country.
