When the Horse Hats.

A horse that walks with a halt
ing, finching movement of the feet
may have been shod by a butcher
blacksmith, or such behavior may
be due to corns on its feet. Apply
a salve made from shoemaker's wax
half pound, beeswax half a pound,
mutton tallow, for summer use, a
quarter pound and for winter use
half pound. Melt in an iron pot
over a gentle fire and stir constantly
until the composition is well dis
solved and thoroughly mixed. The
corn should first be well dressed
down with knife and all of the
calloused surface removed. The
salve after being melted to boiling
heat should be poured into the at
fected spot and the foot held, sole
upward, until the salve becomes
stiff.

Silage as Feed.

Much depends upon the manner
in which silage is made. Corn al
most matured, that is, ripened up to
the glazing stage when converted
into silage, makes feed that is as
valuable for horses as it is for cat
tie. The prejudice against silage
for horses is handed down from
early silo experiments when imma-
ture corn was improperly packed in
square silos The silage thus made
was very sour in the middle and of
ten rotten in the corners of the silo.
Silage has proven valuable for all
kinds of farm stock, including hogs
and chickens. 1t is the cheapest
feed ever produced on the farm The
cost of silage has been estimated as
low as $3.50 per ton. The highest
responsible estimate placed the cost
at from So to $3.50 per ton Horses
like silage better than corn stalks,
and a feed of from one peck to one
half bushel is eaten with relish and
1t does them good. In addition to
the food nutrients contained in 81
lage the succulence is valuable.

Feed the Sheen Salt.

No animal has a greater craving
for salt than sheep, and to no other
is 1t more important. That they can
live wholly without salt no one
doubts, but it is Just as evident that
they can thrive better when It is
often and regularly given to them.
In districts where sheep are subject
to fuke or liver rot, an abundant
supply of salt is said to be a pre-
ventivs. To keep quantity OF salt
under sever In the field, where the
sheep can eat 1t when 80 disposed, is
a safe way Of supplying it, and may
be followed without fear Of injury,
as no animal Will eat salt enough to
be harmful when it has a supply
constantly at hand.

Quality Of Bronze Grass.

A. correspondent in the Farmers
Voice says: II am becoming quite en-
thusiastic over bronze grass In spring
it is ready for pasture about a month
earlier than bluestem. 1t keeps good
through the hot and dry weather and
until late in the winter if not covered
by snow Bronze grass alone makes
better hay than timothy. 1t is hardy
and will stand for many years. 1t is
said that it is readily killed out if
plowed over in midsummer. It's good
qualities both as hay and pasture grass,
ease OF starting and hardness will be
the means of making it the pasture
gress of this country.

Sweating Grain.

All kinds of grain must go through
q sweet after being harvested, and the
best and most natural place for this is
in the stack. The grain will be more
plump and brighter after having sweat
ed in the stack and the wheat will
grow better and make better bread The
danger of heating and molding in the
bin Is much less when it has gone
through the sweat in the stack than
when threshed from the shock.

concealed in Chicago. The police here
have been asked by the Quincy author
tiles to aid in the work OF recovering
the property and arresting the thieves.
During the last month stores In at
least twelve towns In Illinois and Iowa
have been pillaged by burglars who
carried of great quantities Of valu-

towns One Of the most recent crimes
was in Sigourney, Iowa, where many
hundreds OF dollars worth of silk was
stolen Some clue to their identity has
been secured and detectives Iii this
city are on the trail. In this city there
are believed to be regular agents who
deal in stolen property Of this kind

THINK SCHMIDT HARMLESS.
Davenport Police Allow Man Who
Startled Business World to Depart.

Special to Times-Repuhlican.
Davenport, Sept. S.--Louis Schmidt,
the man who startled the business
world a short time ago by renting a
large suite of rooms in the McCul-
lough block, representing that he had
$4,000 in eastern banks, and intimat-
ing that he was going into business
in Davenport on a large scale, has been
given his liberty and allowed 20 de-
part in peace, to the city of Clinton.
According to the police his story to
them was that he was one Of the big
guns for Steinway & Co.
When the collapse came he was
lodged in jail while the police and
others set to work to find ou. who he
was. 1t was soon learned that Stein
way & Co. claimed no knowledge Of
the man and 1t was though. at first
that he was bold swindlac.
A further examination, however, dis
approved this and Chief Harzog states
now that he has come to the conclu
sion that Schmidt is harmless fellow,
whose mind may not be exactly right.
This was the appearance that he gave
at the police station at least, and all
though he had not served out the
thirty days that he was given. the
chief told him that he might go.
Accordingly Humane Officer Gilman
took him to an l. & I. car. purchased a
ticket for him and he was ssns on his
way to Clinton, where he said that he
was going to look for job. He said
on his departure that this was his last
visit to Davenport and thaS he would
never trouble any one mere again.
