The sample ballots and instructions
sent out Herewith from the county
clerks office are not complete. The
ballots have neither numbers nor
perforated lines to indicate how the
ballot should be folded. The in
structions merely say, "To vote for a
person stamp in the square to the
right of the candidates name" They
are silent as to voting on the main
issue of ''for or against" incorpor.
alton. Voters are reminded that
unless they stamp the x in one of the
squares to the right of "For incorpo.
ration or Against incorporation, -
according to the wishes of the in
dividual voter, the ballot will not
count. A voter may stamp his ballot
for all the officers on the ticket, but
unless he, in addition, expresses his
desires by a stamp in either of the
squares opposite the main question
involved, he will lose his vote OF
that proposition. Voting for the
candidates on the ballot will not
carry by implication an affirmative
vote for incorporation. Per contra,
refusal to vote for the candidates will
not count as a negative vote on the
main issue. 1t is quite possible
therefore for the candidates to receive
majority vote, and still the issue
in chief to be defeated. And of
course if incorporation fails to re-
ceive majority of all the votes cast
on that proposition, the whole thing
miscarries, no matter how the vote
stands with regard to the candidates.

heart disease, not organic, are not only
traceable to, but are the direct result of indi-

swells the stomach, putting it up against the

That portion of the proposed city
that now falls within the present
townsite, and strictly residence
districts includes seven miles of
streets actually plated and surveyed.
1rue some are not built on, and might
not be charge upon the city for
several years. Say six miles of
streets to be looked after. In ad.
dition to this strictly street mileage,
we have from four to five miles of
county roadway thrown in by way of
ballast. Altogether streets and roads
would reach about ten miles. Now,
the patchwork business pursued by
the county administration on our
county roads costs on an average Sin
this supervisor district over 500 per
mile every year. Such a meager sum
would be completely lost sight of on
our streets. 1t would have to be
concentrated upon mile or less to
make any showing at all. Then
sprinkling must be provided, and this
is where the inadvIsability of dragg-
ing in the essentially country roads
comes in. Lighting must be provid-
ed for, furnishing another strong
argument for curtailing the city
within strictly residence districts.
The salary question Is vital one.
The county government costs over 50
per capital for salaries alone. If the
city government can get along with
one-nalt that rate, as the territory is
mapped out, it would be doing
tolerably we'll. On a low estimate
this item may be expected to run
from 5000 to s25OO. How will this
sum up.

These are conservative figures. An
actual test will increase rather than
decrease them. There is no allow
ance here for fire protection: none
for quarantining against contagious
diseases. and numerous other items
of expense. 1t leaves the cost of
street making and sewerage to be
borne either by the property holders
along the streets improved, or by
the issuance of bonds.
Summing up the situation as it
stands, it shapes itself this wise:
Incorporation holds out the pro-
mise of sewer tor Main street, the
grading of Main street by system
attic effort, which has been entirely
lacking so far. Fo1 these improve
ments the property holders on that
street will have to pay by assess
ments levied according to frontage
owned. In other words, they have
these things by paying for them
under incorporation. They can have
them on the same proposition with
out incorporation. Again, lncorpor-
alton holds out the promise of a
public burial ground under official
supervision and we are willing to
admit this is urgently needed.
On the other hand incorporation
along the present lines holds out the
prospect of a new set OF officials
to maintain. And the entire revenue
OF the city will be consumed, outside
of keeping up such utilities as we
now enjoy, in paying the salaries of
the official establishment and the
incidental expenses thereunto belong
| ing.

Hoofs of Colts
And M are S

Breeders who intend to exhibit colts
and brood mares at the shows this
fall should be remembering that 1t
takes long time to grow out badly
chipped and broken hoof. says Breed
er's Gazette. We are just now In the
period Of the year when the pestilen-
tial flies devour the stock that runs
In the fields, and especially in season
of plentiful rainfall il does not take
long to smash the hoofs up In bad
shape. Then it is not possible to get
them in shape again before it is time
to load for the journey to the fairs.
1t is extraordinary that so many
breeders seem to fail to understand
what great handicap stub toed colt
labors under In the show ring. An
nually we see him with little or no
hoofs at all. 1t costs only little to
keep colts shod for these few weeks
now, and ii will pay many times over.
Then there is the additional matter
that If colt is worth showUS at all
he is worth showing to the very rsss
advantage, and that means that ne
must have special care.
1t would hardly do to run Dig
bunch of shod colts and brood mares
in the field together, for they might
injure one another, but colts are hard
ly ever got right ready for the shows
run In bands on the grass. In the hot
weather they should be stabbed In the
daytime and let out at night either
singly or In pairs. The foot Is the
first thing the judge looks at In the
show ring when it comes to judging
horses, and surely for that reason, IL
not for personal profit and pride, breed
ers should see to it that their animals
do not go stub toed into the arena.

on the back does not indicate good

heavy load on her backbone, and that

| The place to begin working for pure
milk is with the feed, writes e. l..
Vincent in Farm and Fireside. | know
that some hold that it does not make
any difference what we feed our cows
that they. will turn ii all into good
milk. This is not yet an mGispGtcI
fact. / know from personal expert
ence that certain kinds OF food VIII

most essential point toward the pro
duction Of pure milk Good. clean
feed, in barn and in pasture. is the
starting point toward the desired end.
For this reason we must get the noX
ious weeds out of our pastures tT
moving them at least once each year
say after haying, when they are IN
bloom and may be most easily killed.
Then we must see to it that tie
weeds also, so that no hay with foul
stuff may be put into the barn. All
moldy hay should be rejected con-
scientiously.
Again, the care of the stables is
prime essential Everything which
tends to create foul odors about the
barn must be scrupulously removed.
Floors and walls should be kept clean.
Pals and cans cannot be too clean.
And yet we may fail unless the real
work of milking is done properly.
Whenever upon rising from the milk
ing stool we find that there is little
cloud of dark dust upon the top OF
the foam that has gathered while we
have been at work we may be sure
that we have failed in our effort to do
our work in a Clearly manner Just
as surely as we say to ourselves,
"Well, the strainer will take that inn
purity all out" just 50 surely do we
make a fatal mistake, for no strainer
ever made will do that-none ever viii
be made Little particles Of the I'M
clean matter will be sure to go through
the strainer and be the source of dis
ease. 1t therefore stands us in hand
to most carefully clean tie udders of
every COW before we begin to milk.
Wipe them off, and wipe them with a
clean cloth, rot the bare hand. See |
that no man ever vets his hands with |
milk before he begins milking. The
man who does that ought to be shut
out of the stable forever

THE COWS ON PASTURE.
Shade and Abundant Water Are In-
dIspeuSa bic.

dispense
A few large shade trees and some
underbrush in some corner Of the pas
ture add much TO the comfort OF the
cows and the pocketbook of the own
err says l.. w. Lightly in National
Stockman. Where no natural shelter
from the hot sunshine is BILE ii
will pay to put an artificial shelter.
The simplest arrangement Is made by
digging forked posts eight feet high
INTO the ground, laying poles over the
top and covering the whole with
stover, swale hay or other material at
hand. This very satisfactory shelter
costs very little besides q few hours
work. Stabling in daytime and pas
turing at night sound nice to talk
about and work out IN few in
stances, but with the average stable
the cows are in dungeon of torment
because of the heat and foul air. as
there is no means OF ventilation.
One of the Indispensable features OF
pasture is an abundance of good
water easy of access. A spring or a
brook Is OF course the ideal, but where
this is lacking artificial provision must
be made. Outlines a spring on higher
ground can be conducted to the pas
ture; In others the hydraulic ram will
elevate the water, and where these are
not practicable the windmill will do
the work.
Many people after turning the cattle
to pasture feed salt only occasionally,
and sometimes the periods are far
apart. 1t seems to be fact that cows
become more salt hungry on pasture
than on dry feed. and they should have
salt daily. Either make provision so
the cows have access to supply and
can take all they want daily or feed
every animal big tablespoonful daily.
The latter method Is preferable where

a RulNOUS POLICY.
The Sale and Use of Unsuitable Sfres
For Breeding Purposes.

The Sale and Use of UnSr.tab bic sires
For Breeding Purposes.
We have persistentIy advised III" use
of pure bred sires in the breeding ~
of live stock. and many men have gone
further by replacing their graded stocl
| by pedigreed animals of considerable
merit. There is now another step TO
| be taken that is quite rs important as
| breeding out the scrub blood or sub
| stitut!ng pure bred for grade stock.
| We refer to the necessity of culling
out all unsuitable breeding animals IL
every herd and stud Of the country.
writes A. s. Alexander in Farmer
Review. Hundreds of bulls. boars ana
rams are being sold for breeding pur
poses each year that are doing h2r;a
instead of good and that should have
been castrated by their breeders. 1t Is
hard to get breeders To attend TO such
matters as this. They can usually tinl
buyers for Indifferent slres and so take
the chance when it presents itself. but
the policy is ruinous in the end. The
reputation of the breed and the hero is
at stake in the sale of every ANIMAL
that goes of the farm for breeding
purposes.
The breeder cannot afford to sell Il
poor representative of his herd II he
will but stop to think the matter over
fully. By castrating the poor individ-
ual he will make a profitable feeding
sir ha sol
he but enlarges the number of scrub
pure breds in the land and their num-
Der is getting to be enormous. If there
is anything that will hurt the pure bred
stock business worse than the contin-
ued selling and use Of poor individual
sires and dams we have not heard of
II, and we are convinced that the time
has come to act honestly and severely
In this direction.
Not every man who wishes to inn
prove his live stock knows how to Sc
lect a representative sire of the best |
individuality. For this reason Ire has !
to trust to the honesty of the breeder, |
whom he asks to make the selection !
for him. He may state that he does
not wish to pay high figure, and the |
breeder very naturally takes advan-
tage of the circumstances TO send him
a poor individual that is cheap so far
as cost is concerned, but terribly dear
when we consider the mischief he will
do in the herd to which he goes. The
honest breeder who has at heart the
best interest of his patrons and of the
industry in which he is engaged should
never find himself In a position to sup
ply a cheap and at the same time in
different sire of any sort. He should
castrate every animal of this kind and
have nothing but good individuals for
sale. Were every breeder to act in this
way the number of serviceable sires
would be reduced, but their value
would increase and the value of the
breed represented would also be GER
tainly enhanced in time by the persist
ent use OF nothing but first class sires-

tom of the manager. The habit Is q
bad one and a large part of the coarse
fodder is made unfit for use by being
trampled under foot. Much OF 1t gets
out of reach and is entirely lost, espe-
cially If the animals are tied short,
as they usually are. when placed in
stall.
This waste can be prevented by use
Of the simple arrangement shown In
the accompanying illustration. The
two strips, c, are made from lx3 hard
wood and are hinged TO the back OF
the manger These two strips are con-
nected at the outer end by strip of
hard wood, b. This arrangement is
raised when the hay is being put in
the manger, is then lowered and fas-
tened down by means of tongue or
hook and remains there until the next
feeding time. With 1t there IL no dan
ger of any hay being wasted.
