WHO SHOULD RAISE HORSES.
Prof. Thomas Shaw Says II Depends
on the Man.

In growing horses, as in growing
other kinds of live stock, the most
potent factor is the man. Some men
should grow draft horses only. Some
should grow only trotters. The many
should raise the former, as they are
50 much more easily grown. The few
should grow the latter. The men who
can grow good trotting horses, that
is, trotting horses of really superior
merit, are few and far between willis
those who can also develop them are
fewer still. Some men should not
grow any kind of horses, as they will
not make a success of it. They will
not make a success of it because they
do not understand it or because they
do not like it, or for both reasons.
No one should engage in growing
horses who does not take kindly to
the work. And no one should engage
in growing any particular kind of
horses or any class of the same unless
his tastes run in that line. However,
if one understands his business and
grows that class of horses in which
he is most interested, there is but
little doubt that he will succeed in
the work.

The Test of Ace in Fowls.

A ROSTERS age is determined by
the size of his spurs. If they are long
he is antique" If there is small
button on the ankle where the spurs
come later he is a young bird. Ducks
are. invariably judged by the under lip
of the bill. If a dressed duck will
sustain it's weight by it's under bill,
lay it back and try another" for
there is no telling how old it is; GER
tainly too old to be real tender. But
if the bill snaps easily it is a young
bird. Gobblers are told by their spurs
the same as roosters, the age of the
hen turkey being determined by the
length of its beard. Aside from the
test applied to ducks there is one
infallible rule which can be applied
with safety in all cases. The back
part of the breastbone can be bent
easily in young fowl. If it is sharp
and hard and refuses to yield to pres
sure from your thumb it is an old
bird.

Four.Footed Thieves.

In Winchester, England, a grocer
began to miss money from his till.
and set his wife to watch. After two
weeks the wife was not able to de-
tect the thief. though money was
stolen almost every day. There were
two clerks in the store. and the
grocer finally called them thieves
and discharged them.
When two others had taken their
places the money continued to dis
appear, and the case was given to the
police, An officer who hid under the
counter solved the problem. He
found bits OF paper representing
about $50 that the mice had made
nests OF. They had entered the till
through hole In the back and taken
the bills one at time.
The two clerks who had been dis.
charged for dishonesty brought suit
for damages. and the other day the
grocer was compelled to pay them
$500 each.

FEEDING Oil Meal to Cattle,

The longer you feed oil meal the
higher the finish, but you can see
tho effects of it in 60 days. The ques-
ton was raised whether if oil meal is
to be fed just GO days it should be
fed the first 60 days or the last 60
days of the feeding period. II. w.
Mumford says: 81 don't know" He
said that most persons would answer
the last 60 days, that being the COM
mon practice. But he has seen such
difference ir the way cattle start on
feed. 1t takes a great deal longer to
get cattle started to gain on corn and
clover hay than where oil meal Is fed
at first; with oil meal they start right
off. The corn and clover cattle make
their large gains along toward the
last. He would like to see the matter
tested scientifically. The oil meal will
show in the finish of the cattle If it
is fed at the beginning and not at the
close of the feeding period.

DRESSING AND KEEPING MUTTON
Some Suggestions for the Homo
Handling of the Meat. ~

In dressing mutton always bear In
mind that you should not feed your
wether for "a hours prior to slaughter
ing. 1t is not generally known, but
undigested food is apt to flavor the
flesh. Keep this point constantly in
mind. Do not try fancy methods in
dressing your mutton. Have your car
cass perfectly plain. 1t is good rule
to kill the sheep In November, at
least wait until after fly time.
Do not hire butcher to kill your
sheep. Do it yourself. After slaugh-
tering hang the carcass in your cellar.
If the latter will keep bread without
its molding, you may rest assured
that your mutton will not spoil. Hang
the mutton, do not lay it down. II
hung properly with no two carcasses
touching, and with the loose pieces
drawn back so that the air can thor
oughly permeate the surface, these
carcasses should keep till April. At
any rate, do not take it down for cut
ting up until one month after putting
it in the cellar; I prefer six weeks.
There is, says Orange Judd Farmer, a
chemical change in the flesh of the
sheep within six weeks from the time
of killing. You will find after that
time the mutton wiz not stick to the
knife in handling the carcass.

Foot Rot of Sheep.

In a discussion before the board
of agriculture of Great Britain the
matter of foot rot in sheep received
attention. Some of the
members had used copper sulphate at
the rate of one pound to gallon of
water. If the sulphate Is to be used
merely to prevent the disease and not
where it actually exists, much
weaker solution could be used, in the
opinion of the experimenters. The
copper sulphate used was in the pow
dered form and was purchased. under
a guaranty of SO per cent. purity. The
way of using the solution was very
simple, the sheep being merely driven
through the bath. When sheep was
found to be badly affected its hoofs
were pared before the animal was
driven into the bath. This appears to
be very easy way of combating the
disease.

Matthew's Sentence Confirmed.


That there is little or nothing In a
mere name was illustrated by the de-
cision OF the supreme court In affirm
ing the conviction of Neal Matthews,
the colored man who was given a
life sentence for killing Budd Travis
in Des Moines.
Matthews was tried for the murder
of Roland Diggs and new trial was
granted him, instead of trying him
again for that crime. he was tried for
the murder of Travis.
In the legal time before the case
came on for trial the county attorney
served notice on the defendant, Mat
thews, that certain witnesses would be
summoned and would confront him.
Among them was one ALEX Saund-
ers."
When the trial came on the state Of
fered the testimony of III. S. Sanders.
Matthews objected. He had not been
served with notice of the intention to
summon II. S. Sanders. The state in
troduced testimony which the supreme
court says tended to show that the
.wo persons were Identical" 1t is
the contention of Matthews that the
identity was not established and that
Matthews did not have notice of the
states intention to produce H. s. San
ders.
The point was presented to the su.
preme court. Justice Sherwin wrote
the opinion by which the court af-
firmed the conviction of Matthews. In
1t 1t is held that there was no error in
allowing the testimony of II. s. San
ders" to be introduced.
A petition for rehearing will be filed,
of course, pointing out that the objec-
ton in this case was not lodged
against the mistake in the initials Of
the name of the witness, but because
the other portion Of the nome, also.
ives erroneous. The notice was for
Saunders" and the witness was San
ders." Cases have been recorded in
which the different initials were an
issue, but not one in which the state
claimed the right to introduce the tes-
timony of witness whose initials and
name were both misstated in the no
tice."

WHAT EXPERIMENTS PROVED.
As to Balanced and Unbalanced RAJ
tions for Cattle.

Howard r. Smith, professor of AMI.
NAL husbandry. University of Ne
braska, in his book on Profitable
Stock Feeding" says:
"Our stable experiment stations have
conducted numerous feeding expert
ments with animals, in which bal
anced and unbalanced rations have
been compared. At the Kansas expe-
riment station, corn, prairie hay and
corn stover, a combination having a
nutritive ration OF Ill, was fed to
steers in contrast with balanced ra-
ton having a nutritive ration OF 1853.
The average of three trials showed
that % per cent. less feed was re-
quired for a given increase In weight
with the balanced ration.
In an experiment at the Nebraska
experiment citation, with yearling
steers, it was found that, to make the
same gain, 20 per cent. less food was
required with corn and alfalfa than
with corn and prairie hay, and the al
falfa was no more expensive.
"In another lot where oil meal, q
rich protein food, was added to cora
and prairie hay, 25 per cent. total
food was required for given gain.
"The experiment stations of Illinois
and Missouri have recently shown the
advantage of corn and clover over
corn and timothy in as striking con-
trast.
Nor have the tests been confined
to fattening cattle alone. Expert
ments with sheep, swine and dairy
cows show that much larger returns
are made when the rations are com.
pounded in way that will furnish the
nutrients in proportion somewhat
near the requirements as determined
by scientific methods"

To Open TubercuIosis Hospital.

In regard to the state tuberculosis
sanitarium, which the state board OF
control was directed to locate by the
last legislature, the report OF that
board to the governor says:
1.-The sanitarium for the treatment
Oh tuberculosis authorized by the last
general assembly has not yet been To-
Gated. More than forty sites for it
have been inspected, and few others
are to be visited. When these visits
are made the site will probably be
selected and arrangements made for
opening the institution next year.
Investigations have shown that the
per capita allowance of $40 per month
fixed by statute is not sufficient and
that it should be raised to $50 per
month. A considerable addition to
the appropriation for land, buildings
and equipment will also be needed"

viii Not Take UP Case.

The drawing of the same three
members on the new grand jury who
voted against an indictment in the
Hippee case at the last session makes
it practically certain that the case
against the general manager of the
street railway company will not be
reopened for investigation by the
present grand jury, as it requires a
vote of 5 to 2 to secure an indictment.
AS there are three members on the
grand jury who opposed an indictment
when the case was last considered 1t
is thought to be impossible that any
new inquiry will develop anything in
that direction. Two Of the members
of the last grand jury who were in IA

Morrow Leads State Ticket.

Examination of the election returns
has led to the conclusion that Hon. w.
w. Morrow of Union county, republi-
can candidate for treasurer of state,
will have the largest plurality of any
of the candidates. That it will run
above $4,000 seems probably.
Returns from thirty-seyen counties
indicate that Auditor of State Carroll
will run next to Mr.. Morrow, at least.
The counties alluded to show an in
crease in the auditors plurality over
that enjoyed by him in 1902 when he
was first candidate. The increase is
at ratio which will also give him
more than $4,000 plurality if the rate
keeps up. These counties this year
gave him $4,000 plurality, and four
years ago gave him 32,907. That year
he had 1888 plurality, so that the
assumption that his plurality will go
above $4,000 seems to politicians to
be reasonable.
But the returns also indicate that
no candidate on the republican ticket
will have received more votes than
did the candidate for governor. Mr..
Cummins. The same will be found to
be true Of all the other candidates
for governor and the candidates under
them. This is due to the removal OF
the circle from the ballot. Many
voters voted for the candidate for gov
ernor alone, either because they
thought they were voting for the
whole ticket by making the one cross
or because they cared little for the
remainder of the tickets Experience
has shown in Massachusetts, that the
heads of the various tickets always
run ahead of the other candidates, be-
cause there is no circle, and many
voters are content to vote for govern
or alone.
