WATKINS AND SECRETARY
MUST APPEAR FOR TRIAL
Man Accused of Embezzling Safe VIII
Have a Hearing Next Month.
Has Been in Many
Scrapes

Ollie ]. Watkins and Miss Flora E.
Peters, who are charged with the en-
bezzlement of a safe, will have hearing
before Justice Summerfield October 8. The
defendants are also under indictment by
the federal grand jury, charging them
with the fraudulent use of the mails.
Watkins is the head of the California
Fruit Growers association and Miss
Peters is his secretary. They have been
in court many times in the last few
months, having been defendants in the
first case under the new law which makes
it a felony to draw a check on bank tr
other financial institution where the
drawee knows he has no funds. The
charge was dismissed because of flaw
in the complaint, which failed to state
upon what funds they had drawn.
Watkins claims there is nothing to the
present charge and that after it is dis
missed he will have the complaining wit
ness arrested for perjury. He insists the
safe was his own property and that he
had a perfect right to sell it.

trusted with the amount of grain that
is best to feed. Horses vary much in
their capacity and requirements, the
same as individuals. For this reason,
it is impossible to state what quantity
of grain should be fed to any one horse
any groom with ordinary Judgment
can readily determine this after a lit
tie experience.
To sum up the requirements neces-
sary for the care of stations during the
breeding season, l would enumerate
the following: Judicious feeding, regu-
lar but firing exercise, thorough daily
grooming, close observance Of the dl-
gestive organs, and corr ection of any
irregularities, especially as regards
purgation or constipation, absolute
cleanliness, moderation in number OF
mares bred in any one day. BY at
tending faithfully to these matters,
good results should follow.

Winter Care of Lambs.

Too many farmers do not give SUM-

first winter of their existence. Since

many farmers breed their lambs, Whlch
is a great mistake if they desire
profitable flock of sheep. Others VINO
do not commit this error simply run
them through the winter as cheaply as
possible, and the lambs come out IN
the spring little, if any, heavier than
thew were in the fall. They have, per-
haps. grown some in the frame, but
have not attained the development that
thew ought to reach when they are
wear old. With lambs, as with all 9TH
err young stock, it is necessary to get

does not do this is apt to condemn the

has purchased for the Improvement OF

own.

Treating for Loco Poisoning.

A Colorado stockman named George
Rose did more in ten days in solving
the loco problem than the government
has accomplished in ten years with all
it's vast expenditure of time AND
money. In writing about cure which
he discovered Mr.. Rose says: Il had
a very bad case of loco poisoning in
a 2-year-Old steer. In the fall OF l9O4
when | brought him in off the range
he was so bad that he could not get
up without help. There was nothing
on his bones but the hide, so | went
after him with my remedy | took two
tablespoonful of pulverized copperas
and pulled out his tongue as far as pos
sible and put in the copperas and then
gave four spoonfuls of turpentine.
The second day I repeated the dose
and the third day after that gave an
other This was all I did. After that
I could not catch him without horse
and rope. This was about the first OF
October After I gave the first dose
I turned the steer in an alfalfa field.
In about one month l was shipping
some cattle, so I put this steer in and
sent him off. The signs of loco had al
most entirely disappeared. I believe
that three doses are enough"
On February 20 and FL there will
occur at Springfield, ILL.,, the second

Breeders should never sell their best
mare when young, unless they have
one or more FLIES by a first-class stall
lion from her to take her place in the
brood-mare ranks. Most brood-mares
that are not producers of record per-
formers begin to deteriorate, or rather
depreciate, in selling value after they
are ii years old. The small farmer
who raises but one or two year
should plan to sell his brood-mares
before their values begin to depre-
ciate, and replace them with their best
