time ago which stated that In the flu
ture no hobos We're to be allowed to
ride without transportation. SO the
head end brakeman and the engineers
took it upon their hands to rem
edy this evil of free riding. Now any
hobo who is caught trying to ride free
is made to go up to the engine and
shovel the coal down from on top of
the tank This has so effectually cur
ed the practice that altho the
brakemen make a trip thru the en-
tire train as soon as they leave the
terminal station they are very seldom
able to catch man to shovel the coal
down. Now the firemen, when the
brakeman produces no tramp to %
this work makes the brakeman do IL
himself Other theories for the SCARE
ity of hohos is that work is getting
more plentiful and the house wives
are refusing to give the tramps their
meals and this has driven the tramp
to work. No matter what the cause
of the scarcity is, the effect is the
same to the railroad men who are
forced to shovel down their own coal

LEGAL DANGERS OF mA1RlMoNY.

There appears crying need of the
publication of pocket compendium of
divorce law for the guidance and safe
ty of the much married; a little vol
ume like book on etiquette of "donts"
bearing directly upon the limitations
and privileges of divorces who con-
template another dip into the troubled
waters of matrimony. The courts are
full of bigamy cases caused byglgnor-
ance of the diversified and conflicting
laws relating to divorce and marriage

People who have once married
should move carefully to a second VEN
ture lest the law be violated. A wo-
man may have one. legal husband under
the laws of North Dakota. another,
perhaps, under the laws of Ohio, while
New York state judges might not re-
cognize the validity of her relationship
to either man on the ground that her
ties to a New Yorker had not been
legally dissolved. A man may be a
bfgamist in New York and a perfectly
proper citizen in certain other states
Divorces who pick their way thru the
tangle of conflicting divorce laws need
be careful.
AS illustrating the diverse ideas of
legislators on divorce, New York gives
divorce on one ground, marital inf

vorce law. In most other states, wilful
desertion. habitual drunkenness, con-
viction of felony, cruelty, failure to

viding that the judge having the case

Corn Fodder as Cattle Feed.

The value of a feed Is best under
stood by actual experience in feeding
it. Thus in the use of corn fodder
the recommendation that it is a good
feed for cattle will usually be granted,
but to fully understand it's importance
as feed it is necessary to test its
feeding properties by it's use in some
of it's best forms, as a feed.
In the western corn growing coun-
try the feeding value of corn fodder
has been abused by the custom of
husking on the stalk, practically
away, treating it as if there was no
value attached to the fodder. The
value of the corn fodder for feed in
it's green stage as a silage crop, cut
green and shocked, and in it's various
stages of maturity, even to the
bleached, driedout stalks left stand
ing for winter grazing, has been de-
termined by analysis. But this is not
sufficient to stir up general DISPOSE
ton among cattle raisers to feed fod-
der in it's best form for cattle feed.
The cutting and shocking ofs~corn,
while the stalk is yet green, and at
the same time the ear matured suffi-
GENTLY to cure out in the shock, has
been determined the most profitable
stage of fodder growth for cattle feed.
This condition of fodder demands the
assistance of the binder in harvest
ing the crop. 1t may then stand in
the shock until wanted for feed in
the winter. Fodder thus cured green
will be entirely consumed by grown
cattle.
In north Nebraska fodder thus
treated has been fed to cattle with
the very best results, there being abb
solutely no waste, and thrifty,
healthy condition secured with cattle
that were run down from an INSULT
cient fall and winter range. 1t is
these practical demonstrations of fod-
der feeding that has made the cut
ting and shocking of the green corn
a popular method of saving the fod-
der.
Introduce a system of cattle feed
ing that produces results and the cat
tie raiser is a willing convert. The
careless feeder is willing to be
taught, when the object lesson can

BLESSED BE SLEEP.
[IoMa Health Bulletin. ]

Oh, the blessedness of sleep! Cervan-
ties calls it meat for the hungry, drink
for the thirstye, money that buys
everything" Keats regards it as the
great key to golden palaces and
Shakespeare as natures soft nurse
and sleep that knits up the raveled
sleeve of care; while Young charact-
erizes it as tired natures sweet re-
sorer.' 1t is healths greatest promoter
and one of the surest guarantees of
happiness: Money is desirable, wis
dom should be acquired, friends are to
be cherished, but these without blessed
sleep would be but so many mockeries
The lesson then is so to live that
sleep will be a constant and cheerful
guest. Ones habits of life-eating,
drinking, employment, and associa-
tons, have much to do-have almost
everything to dom the way of invit-
ing of repelling sleep.

mainly much farther from their trunk
than their branches. Bury some dead
animal three or even four rods from
an apple tree in full bearing, and with
in a year or two roots will extend the
distance and find the fertilizer they
need In most orchards tree roots
interiace each other, and this crowd
ing is one reason why the trees are so
often unproductive. 1t requires extra

there is any doubt about the wisdom OF
setting g. years as the age of de-
creased capacity, the doubter should
examine the employees doing manual
labor in any great factory or railroad.
He points to the fact that many cor
porations retire their employees on old
age pensions at 70 years, and old age
pensions in European countries begin
at these ages, hence he concludes that
when the average man reaches an age
of 62 years, his earning ability has de-
creased more than one-falf if he de-
ponds upon manual labor for his wages.
Here we have the pension views of the
two candidates. Veterans will consider
the matter seriously when they vote,
the object of interest to the country at
large is the fact that the "encroach-
ment" contained in this pension order
is fair sample of the majority of ex-
ecutive usurpations during Roosevelt's

Scratches on Horses, Heels.


Scratches or cracked heels are SIM
ply chaps and cracks around the heels
and in the hollow of the pastern; they
correspond to chapped hands in man.
Causes: Exposure to cold, mud, snow,
slush and ice water without proper
care in fall, winter and spring. Inc
skin is swollen in the hollow or the
pastern, and around the heels cracks
and chaps extend in all directions, ana
larger cracks will run around the leg
where it is the most fixed. When dry
they will be hot, sore to the touch ana
painful. Sometimes the tlexion, III
moving will cause the animal to raise
the feet a couple of feet high at first,
hut with exercise the soreness part1-
ally disappears.
What to do-When the horse comes
in wipe off the parts as clean as pos
sible, bandage them with flannel to
keep them warm, and when dry clean
them thoroughly with a brush. not
touching them with water at all.
Washing them with warm water would
do no harm If they were we'll dried az
terward, but to be on the safe side 1t
is better not to wash them at all.
When clean apply carbolic salve Or ain
ointment made of lard and finely pull
verified alum in equal parts. Apply
when coming in and when going out,
and rub the ointment we'll into the
sores. gently, with a soft piece OF
cloth. If they get very bad give them
a few days rest, applying the remedy
at least once day. If mud or dirt OF
any kind gets into the sores it should
be removed by applying lard freely
and afterward rubbing with soft
cloth until perfectly clean; then apply
the ointment and keep the animal In
dry place. If proud flesh springs
ND in the cracks burn some alum, pull
verize it fine and sprinkle it on the
nroud flesh, which will disappear in a
few days, then continue to apply the
ointment as above described. The
horse should be given teaspoonful OF
saltpeter in bran or meal mash morn
ing and night for three or four days
If the disease does not yield to this
treatment, it has probably gone into
the second stage, known as grease
heel. which requires different manage
ment and remedies.
How to prevent scratches - Never
| wash the feet and legts in cold or wet
| weather, say after November till
April. 1t is good for them to be
washed in warm weather; it softens
the dry hard hoofs and cools off the
horse when heated; but it is objection
| able in cold weather. When com-
| ing in from cold slush and mud. dry
and clean the feet and legs thoroughly
