OrOfinO Would Try Plan.

The town of Cottonwood has
adopted a novel plan to raise
sufficient funds with which to
install a water system. Not be-
ing able to secure enough funds
by bonding, the enterprising
citizens of this hustling burg
raised $4,000 by popular sub
scription and it is now up to the
city dads to raise a like amount
and thus insure a sum sufficient
to build an up-to-date system.
Can't we do likewise on small
er scale. -Orofno Tribune. The
above is all right except that the
$4,000 raised by popular SUBJ
scription should read $12, 900.
The city is asked to raise the
$4,000 needed by bonding for
the amount.

THE VETERINARY

For indigestion give lambs a tea
spoonful Of castor Oil in the morning
and again at night. Feed little bran
and linseed meal mixed in equal parts
in the mornings and evenings and be
sure they have pure fresh water to
drink. Do not give too much salt. A
little of it scattered on a plank and
well scattered about so that it cannot
be taken too freely will be very useful,
but too much-which they will easily
take If stinted-is injurious. A lump
of rock salt is the best way to give
this. They will lick. 1t and not get an
overdose Of it,-American Sheep Breed
er.
Paralysis In Pigs.
Oyerfeeding and lack of exercise in
duce this ailment in pigs that are
born with a predisposition to rickets,
says Breeders Gazette. As a rule,
corn feeding is most likely to produce
1t, but it is possible that any derange-
ment of the digestive organs may have
the same effect. Mixed foods and free
use of limewater will tend to prevent
this form of rachitis, and exercise on
green grass, clover, etc, is also bene-
fetal. Stop feeding corn. Feed a light
ration Of milk and middlings and use
limewater freely. Allow free range.
1t may be impossible to cure affected
pigs, but change Of management will
doubtless prevent similar trouble in fu.
ture provided you also change your
breeding stock.
Tonic For Horses.
Horses sometimes refuse to keep in
condition, no matter how well fed. In
that case the following tonic will often
prove valuable: One dram calomel, one
ounce alOes, one dram belladOnna and
one-half ounce ginger in a pint of raw
linseed oil and follow with teaspoon
full Of dried sulphate Of iron three times
a day.-Farm and Ranch.
AzOturia In Horses.
This disease is one Of overfeed and
lack of regular exercise, says National
Stockman. The preventive is to cut
down the grain ration on all idle days.
The cure is to say "Whoaw as soon as
stiffness begins, put on a blanket and
let the animal stand perfectly still for
a full half hour, then walk slowly to
the nearest barn. Wiring a thick blan-
ket a yard square out Of very hot wa
ter and apply along the spine as hot as
can be used without scalding. Put a
dry blanket on over It. Give an ounce
of aloes; keep grain feed out of the an
imal and only little hay for twenty
four hours, then only half rations until
it gets fully well. Do not use drugs
except by the advice Of a competent
veterinarian.

.OvailS Are The
Farmers Friends
Pretty Little Game Birds Live on
Insects and Seeds of Weeds,
Doing Much Good to Orchard
and Farm.

There is every good reason
why our common quail should be
held in such high esteem as they
are throughout the country, but
if it were needed we might
esteem them still more highly
after we have read in the report
of the division of biological sur
vey for 1904, by DR.. C. Hart
Merriam, that additional evidence
of the good work they perform in
the destruction of insects and
useless weed seeds has been
brought to light. The report
says that in continuation of the
studies of the food habits of game
birds, DR.. Sylvester J. Judd has
given especial attention to
the quail, particularly during
the winter, to ascertain where
the birds live and what they
eat during the inclement season.
The careful and detailed study of
this bird has demonstrated, be-
yond question that from an eco
nomic point of view the quail is
One of the most valuable of North
America birds. Examination of
The contents of large numbers of
crops and stomachs has revealed
he important fact that through
but its broad range it feeds large
y on some of the worst insect
pests known to agriculture. A
nong the important insects eaten
are the cotton boil weevil, potapo
bug, chinch bug, wirewOrm, cut
worms of various kinds, and the
lotion boil worm. Besides de-
troying multitudes of these per-
picious insects the quail devours
Tery large quantities of seeds of
pOxious weeds; and since much
# its time is spent in cultivated
ields the value of it's services
. the farmer can hardly be
Exaggerated. Ranch.

How To Kill a Town.

The Mexico Ledger breaches as
follows:
The town whose citizens refuse
to assist in attracting new enter
prises, and who fail or refuse to
contribute to an enterprise which
will add to the commercial ad-
vantages of the town is on the
way to the cemetery. The citi-
zen who will do nothing for the
town is digging the grave. The
man who curses the town furish-
es the coffin. The man who is
SO selfish as to care for no busi-
ness but his own is making the
shroud. The man who will not
advertise and by refusing to do
so Injuries the business of the
town is driving the hearse. The
man who is always pulling back
from any public enterprise and
pouring cold water on them
throws bouquets on the grave.
The man who is so stingy as to
be continually bowling hard
times breaches the funeral SER
mon and sings the doxoIogy and
then the town lies buried from
all care and sorrow.
