About Kissing Mother.


 The Garden City Telegram knows father who in talking to his careless daughter, said, want to speak to you of your mother. It may be that you noticed careworn look upon her face. Of course 1t has not been brought there by any act of yours; still it is your duty to chase it away, I want you to get up tomorrow morning and get breakfast. When your mother comes and begins to express her surprise, go right up to her and kiss her on the mouth. You can't imagine how 1t will brighten her dear face. Besides, you owe her kiss or two long while ago, when you were a little girl she kissed you. You were not as attractive then as you are now Through years of childish sunshine and shadows she was.always ready to cure, by the magic of mothers kiss the little, dirty, chubby hands whenever they were in- jured with those first skirmishes with the rough old world"

and s,OOO,OOO more have an income of less than $375 a year. The remaining 8.000,OO0 possess incomes ranging from $75O to $25,O In view of the continual increase in the cost of living the Socialists contend that distribu- ton of wealth on this scale is unequal, and that the mass. of the people have not benefited by the high prosperity to which the Emperor so confidently referred.
 Possibly the prosperity of the Unit ed States, or any other country, might be figured on in this way. If there has been unequal distribution of wealth in this country there is quite a redistri- button going on just now.

IN THE GooD OLD DAYS.

Perhaps human nature hasn't changed much, at least not during the last one hundred years. There may have been "jungles" and things in the good old days. Anyhow, in 1919 the legislature of Indiana passed Ian act regulating the inspection of flour, beef and pork" The act provided that the commissioners of every county in the State shall annually appoint suitable person as inspector in each county, of flour, beef and pork; and that from and after the passage of this act no owner, or owners, or agents, of flour, beef, or pork, put up in barrels, as hereinafter mentioned, shall export, or offer the same for sale or exporation until it shall have been inspected in the manner hereinafter directed, un- der the penalty of treble the amount of the cost of such inspection, for ev- cry such offense, to be recovered in any court having cognizance thereof, one-half for the use of the person prosecuting for the same, and the oth- CT half for the use of county sem mary.
 And so forth and so on. This act didn't stay in force long, but perhaps the present arrangement will

punished to the full extent of the law, but there seems to be some doubt about what that is. There is law which provides that anybody who takes, receives, or agrees to receive any money, property, or other valu- able consideration whatever from any person for giving, procuring, or aiding to give or procure any office, place, or promotion in office from the commits sioners of the District of Columbia, or from any officer under them, and ev- cry person who directly or indirectly offers to give, or gives any money. property, or other valuable considera- tion whatever for the procuring or aiding to procure any such office, place, or promotion in off1ce shall be deemed guilty of misdemeanor, and on conviction thereof in the police court shall be punished by fine not exceeding $1,000, or imprisonment in the jail for not more than twelve months, or both, in the discretion of the court. But the board of education is not considered to be under the com mlssioners. There is a section of the
 District code which punishes bribery, and it is also doubtful if that is ap-
 plicable to the present state of affairs
 Which is queer. There is usually law
 enough. If there isn't enough at the
 headquarters of lawmaking there
 should be some more made.

 Another important American industry sends it's complaint that the high tariff is operating to prevent such an exten- sion of it's foreign trade as> is easily possible, This Is the manufacture of Agricultural machinery, which, speak ling through the president of the In- tcrnational Harvester Company, with extension of it's foreign trade is being hindered by the tarff restrictions ol other nations which are stimulated by our own extreme tariff policy. Recip- rocal notifications of protective and retaliatory duties would result in a great expansion of outside markets for American manufactures.

Penny-in- the-slot milk delivery machines are feature at the stores of large dairy company in London. From the door of each of these estab- lishments protrudes brass spout and a handle. There is also the custom ary slot and a notice stating that only pennies can be used.

Instructions have been given by the government of Java for the execu- tion of criminals within the walls of the prison in future. The present rule of public executions has no de- tcrring effect on the Javanese. Mur- derers on the way to the scaffold are treated with great respect by the na- tive police and are pressed in white and wear flowers in their hair. The spectators look on them with re- spect which resembles worship when the criminals walk with bold and defiant tread. In such cases the relatives bury the murderers with great ceremony and hold their mem ory in reverence.

the tendons and detract from ability
to handle heavy loads. Too short, dis
tinctly upright pasterns are even more
Objectionable. They prevent springy,
elastic action of the feet and by i'm
mediately transferring conclusion from
the ground to the foot and bony col
umn superimposed thereon jar the
parts and set up irritation and infiam-
nation, which are apt to result in such
unsoundness as navicular disease, side
bone, ringbone. quarter crack, corns,
contracted heels and kindred troubles.
The bone Of the pastern should have
a slope of about forty-five degrees and
the front of the hOOf fifty degrees. Up
right pasterns induce stubby action,
and horses having such conformation
wear out quickly upon the streets.
Springy, elastic action comes from
oblque yet strong pasterns, and the
feet under such wear well on the pave
ments.
Where the quarter crack appears it
is q difficult matter to bring down a
new growth of sound hOOf without fir
ing and blistering, so that prevention Is
all important. There is no need to cut
out the sole or open the heel" as 1t Is
called The frog and heels should be
left absolutely untouched, and they
cannot be too well developed. The
sole will take care of itself, for nature
will throw off dead horn as required.
Keep the walls rounded at the ground
surface. the toe short and the frog
prominent. and, with but few excep-
tons, horses will go to market in the
best possible condition, so far as the
feet are concerned, to command a
profitable price.
In this connection it may be added
that sound feet are best produced by
adequate feeding of nutritious food.
Horn comes from the heterogeneous con-
stituents (prOtein) Of the food, and for
this reason complete ration should be
used for the growing of colt frame and
sound hoOf horn. for corn alone cannot
be depended upon to produce good,
sound feet. Sudden changes of food,
periods of sickness, exposure to in
clement weather for months at time,
al, have an Injurious effect upon the
feet; therefore it is important to shell
fer the colt well. feed him regularly
and generously and protect him as
much as possible against the ravages
of disease. Train the feet in the way
they should grow. and when they are
mature they will not be so liable to
depart from SCUM lorm and substance.

the hoof Is sound, fully developed,

nitches ON Uneven Land.

1t often happens that farm is more
or less cut up by ravines or depres-
sions which intersect or separate fields
and the supply bitches have to be ex.
tended across these low places. This is
usually done in one Of three ways.
When the depression is not more than
q few feet deep levees are built on
each side. In other cases fumes are
built ON grade from side to side, and
lastly the water may be carried across
in a pipe laid In the form of an invert-
ed siphon. The earth levee is the
cheapest, but it is subject to leaks and
washouts for the first few years. The
wooden hume answers the purpose
fairly well, but it is subject to early
decay, and the clay or cement pipe laid
beneath the surface, although dearer
at first cost, il really the cheapest IN

THE FEEDER

Oats and bran make a most satisfac-
Corn is too heating food to be fed ex-
cluslyely to young horses. Clean,
bright Oat straw is better for horses
than prairie hay. Avoid overlooking
the colt, but do not stint his ration too
closely.
Wheat as n Hog Food.
Results obtained at an experiment sta
ton show that there Is practically no
difference in the quantity Of pork pro-
duced from the same weight Of wheat
or corn. In four trials an average Of
400 pounds of ground wheat were re-
Quired to produce 100 pounds Of gain
In live weight. In two trials with
cornmeal 49S pounds were required to
produce 100 pounds of gain. When q
mixture Of equal parts Of wheat and
corn was fed, better results were OBJ
tanned than when either wheat or corn
was fed alone. 1t required 4S5 pounds
of mixed wheat and corn, half and
half by weight, to produce 100 pounds
of gain In live weight.
Corn Fodder For Horses.
If the supply of hay intended for
winter feed is exhausted, nothing is
more satisfactory as q substitute than
well cured corn fodder. The animals
will eat up every blade and most Of
the smaller stalks and will thrive. The
best plan Is to husk the larger ears
of corn and leave the nubbins for the
horses. Fodder can best be fed in the
open lot, as the stalks are nuisance
In q stable, making the manure diff
cult to handle. If the fodder must be
fed In a stable, it is more satisfactory
to run 1t through feed cutter.
