Dirty Water Troughs and Stagnant

Dirty Water Troughs and Stagnant
Water.
Sometimes the milk gets flavor In
1t that is not relished, but the COW
owner is unable to discover the rea-
son for It, Good authorities on COW
feeding declare that 1t Is possible for
the drinking water to be the cause.
Others will dispute this; but In any
event 1t Is an open subject, and the
water may fairly well be under suspi'
cion. We do know. at least, that wa
ter does sometimes contain sub
stances that cause sickness among
cows, and whenever COW is sick her
milk gets "off," whether anything
passes directly through the cow and
into the milk or not. We have pub.
lished much against cows being al
lowed to drink dirty and stagnant
water, but there is always something
more to be said. We have seen old
moss-grown watering troughs IN the
pastures that were never cleaned out
from year to year. A wooden trough
led back to some rill at the foot OF
a hill. and this perennial rill fur
nished water for the cows during all
the summer The water consisted
largely of the rain water that had fall
en- on the land and reached the trough
after being laden with much vege-
table matter of various kinds. In the
trough it lies under the hot sun, while
the germs in its Shiny deDth luxuriate
and multiply, having for food the veg
etable matter that the rill has brought
from the hillside.
Even worse is the stagnant pond,
for in 1t the cows can stand and can
thus stir up its muddy depths, which
indeed are not generally very deep.
The old trough, bad as it is, has one
virtue, in that the water is not only
always running in. but also running
out; and running water Is supposed to
have some virtue. The old pond does
not supply enough water to keep It's
outlet open after the beginning OF
summer. It's only supply is the drain
ing of the land with any disease
germs the land may have received
from any source. II the eggs OF
tapeworms have been dropped by 9th
er animals. as is sometimes the case,
they find a ready access into the pond.
AS the summer heat becomes greater
the surface of the pond sinks ever
lower and lower, and the cows stand
each day further out in the water.
The warm water becomes alive with
all kinds of water insects, and who
shall say that it does not also become
alive with vegetable growths, some
of which are the organisms that man.
ifest themselves as bovine diseases?
Both the dirty watering trough and
the stagnant pond should be elemi-
mated from the pasture. Good. pure
water is the only kind that should be
given to animals or humans. In these
days Of cheap windmills, there is no
reason why every COW pasture should
not have supply of pure and safe
water from some point

Jury Finds That She Is
Morally Unable to Care
for Herself or Affairs
INTOXICANTS HER BANE
Drinks With Anybody and
Makes a Boon Companion
of a, COlOred Coachman
Oakland Office San Francisco Call.
1016 Broadway. Nov. 3.


Impressed with the testimony offered
as to her inability to choose her friends
,, well and leave intoxicants alone, a jury
found Lady Yarde Butler incompetent
this afternoon and denied her petition
to be restored to capacity. The verdict
was arrived at within fifteen minutes
after retiring, 1t needing but a three
fourths vote for a verdict. The jurors
stood ten against her petition and two
for granting it.
1t was shown to-day by the testimony
Of DR.. John Robertson of Livermore. at
whose sanitarium Lady Butler has lived,
that he does not dare to trust her to go
about without an attendant. While be-
lieving her rational to some extent, he
said:
She is both rational and irrational She
has good memory and no halucinations, yet
she has no conception Of the value of money
o. ideas as TO proper associates. She cannot
be trusted in the selection of her friends.
Morally 1 consider her insane. She is utterly
unable to stand alone morally. and II she
were left alone she would return to her old
habits in twenty-four hours / am satisfied
she would take to excess in liquor again.
An instance of both her drinking and
her associates when out for a time"
was told by M. j. O'Dea, who conduct
ed a corner grocery in West Oakland
several years ago. He testified that he,
Mrs. Butler and the colored coachman
often repaired to a barber shop adjoin-
ing his store and had tea" together
there. She would then drive about In a
hack and go from one resort to another.
One morning she was found in the rail-
road yards in West Oakland after a
wild night spent in drinking, and she
was taken to the Receiving Hospital.
DR.. S. II. Buteau, who examined her
upon that occasion, said he found her
suffering from excessive drinking. Her
clothing was dishevelled and she was
suffering from chronic alcoholism. A
long liquor bill was also introduced,
showing that she spent during a short
time she had her freedom 81 a day for
liquors.
The testimony was finished by noon
to-day, and in the afternoon Attorney
r. M. Fitzgerald addressed the jury for
his client, George T. Wright, who as
guardian of Lady Butler fought the
proceedings. He was followed by At
torney Peter F. Dunno, who closed for
the plaintiff. The case. as expressed by
several of the jurors afterward. went
off on the question of her moral respon-
sibility From the testimony the jurors
were fully satisfied that in this regard
she was not competent to manage her
self or her affairs.

WILL NOT TRY
HUSBAND AGAIN
Effort to Compromise Diff
culties of the Gunters
Fails and Trial Is Resumed
Oakland Office San Francisco Can.

Oakland Office San Francisco Call,
1016 Broadway, Nov. 3.
After spending the entire morning in
Amelia c. Gunter, who is suing Will
liam Gunter for a divorce, 1t was an
nounced by attorneys that no satisfac-
tory arrangement could be agreed upon
and that the attempt to end the suit
had failed. Following this announce
ment the taking of testimony was re-
sumed.
The Gunters are voung and have
two children. The wife alleges that her
husband has been drinking heavily
and when intoxicated has treated her
cruelty and that on one occasion he
drove her out Of their home at mid
night shortly before the birth of their
first baby. She also says that on a $40
weekly salary he played the races and
got so badly in debt that he owed $3.50
after the season and that she had to
go to her sisters to live in order to
give him chance to square up.
The proposal to compromise came
from him to-day. Attorneys on both
sides of the case and Judge Ellsworth
all endeavored to arrive at a satisfac-
tory conclusion, but the young wife
said she had lost confidence in her
husbands ability to reform or to keep
the promises he made and refused to
consent to any compromise looking to
the resumption of marital relations.
Testimony in rebuttal was then
taken and the case submitted. Judge
Ellsworth will render a decision next
Thursday morning.

QUEEN BEES.
Wonderful Provision of Nature by
Which They Are Made.

Wonderful Provision of Nature by
Which They Are Made.
A marvellous phase Of bee life is the
power which they possess to raise
queens, or mother bees, from eggs OF
very young brood that would in the
ordinary course produce workers,
which are necters, or undeveloped fe-
males.
If by any chance q queen is killed or
lost the whole colony would perish
were 1t not for this wonderful pro-
vision Of nature. Much perturbed at
first at their loss, the bees after some
hours settle down and deliberately
build q pear shaped structure known
as q queen cell. This is much larger
than an ordinary cell. rough, irregu-
lar and strong.
In this the selected eggs, or larvae,
are lavishly supplied with ':royal jel-
IT," which IS highly stimulative and
in which the baby queen literally floats
during her period Of growth. The re-
suit Is that certain organs and oVa-
ries which remain dormant in work
er bee are perfected, and the new
queen hatches out in about fifteen
days, or six days sooner than the
workers.-London Answers.

Only known Creature That Eats the
Foliase OF the Hemlock.
"You don't have to skirmish around
much to get feed to fatten one Of these
hemlock porcupines on says an old
woodsman. Just sprinkle some salt
over a stick Of cordwood or saw log foz
that matter, and he'll eat the whole
business and enjoy it as you would
mince pie" The customary diet Of
these animals is hemlock browse. They
make themselves a home in a hollow
log or under the roots of some old tree,
but always within reach Of big hem
lock.
The hemlock is their pasture, and
they make beaten paths going to and
fro between the tree and their home.
Once up in tree the porcupine goes
out on the big limbs and, pulling the
small branches in with one paw,
browses on the pungent leaves. In 60
ing through the woods you will find
little piles of these fine leaves on the
ground under hemlock trees. That
means that porcupine Is feeding in
the tree, the leaves on the ground be-
ing dropped from his feast.
Sometimes porcupine will remain
in hemlcck tree for a week at time,
hugging close to the trunk at night
and feeding during the day. This Curl
Gus little beast is the only known liv-
ing thing that eats the foliage Of the
hemlock.
