Paid for Timber and Escaped.

Cheyenne, Wyo.-In the United
States District Court the two criminal
cases against ]. C. Teller of Colorado
for illegally cutting timber on govern
ment forest reserves in Wyoming and
the larceny of the timber. were dis
missed by the district attorney
Teller took advantage of a federal
statute providing that where the tim
ber cut was not for export purposes
the defendant might have the case dis
missed by paying to the government
$3.50 for each acre on which timber
was cut, in this case $50 acres. Under
these conditions District Attorney
Burke stated he did not believe he
could get conviction on the larceny
charge and hence dismissed both
cases.

After jackson Hole RustIers.

Thermopolis, Wyo.-Three Wyoming
sheriffs, Felix Aston of Big Horn
county, Charles Slough of Fremont
county, and Frank Smith of johnson
county, have disappeared into .he
rough country between this place and
the Jackson Hole, while on the trail
of gang of horse thieves, and no
news is expected from them until
they either run down their quarry or
leave the trail at the Idaho line.
Horse stealing has been frequently
reported by ranchmen of Johnson, Big
Horn and Fremont counties, and the
depredations generally have been
traced to one gang. of which 1t is al

All efforts to Grrest members of
this gang have failed because of the
thieves thorough knowledge OF the
country and their trick of jumping
from one county to another. and occa-
Bionally into Idaho or Montana.
Several days ago The officers picked
up the trail of the thieves east of this

Colorado Springs May Appeal.

Colorado Springs, Colo.-The City
Council may appeal to the Supreme
Court from the decision of Judge Cav
ender who decided against the city
in its suit against the Pixies Peak Hy
dro-Electric Company. The city sought
to compel the company to furnish
power for municipal purpose. at the
same rate as its most favored Gus
TONERS, according to the terms of the
jackson franchise. under wEicn The
corporation operates. The city de
sired to establish a municipal pant, but
Judge Cavender held that the term
municipal purposes" means street
lighting, etc, and not distribution to
private consumers. He also held that
the city is bound by the franchise,
which provides that it shall get street
arc lights at $3.50 month from the
company, to receive this power just
as the company is obliged TO furnish it,
This would mean enforcement. of the
contract for the next sixteen years,
and the council committee, II point
ing out this fact, Urged an appeal t.
the Supreme Court.
City Attorney Price sain Judge Cav
ender was called on only to interpret
the term municipal purposes and
that mis- statement regarding the use of
Hydro arc lights by the city during the
life of the franchise is merely an px-
preston of opinion and not formal
decree. He Furthermore conten Is that
Judge Cavender is correct in his inter
probation of the municipal term, and
that the Supreme Court will sus in
him. One member of the committee Of

You saw Jack when he returned,

WooDPILE PHILOSOPHY.

On a recent trip through Indiana
one day last month saw a dozen of
corn cuftivators and other implements
standing in the field where they were
used last. No wonder the manufac-
turers of this country are rolling in
wealth-neither is it any wonder why
SO many farmers are wallowing in
poverty.
Good thing to break the colt to the
halter these days. Lead the little fell
low out every now and then Have
a good, strong halter; take close up
to the colts head when leading him;
be good and kind. Remember that
it is all new business to him, and you
will soon have him where you can
manage him.
A great many renters who are drag
ging out a hard life would do better
as farm hands on a salary. Too much
pride. perhaps.
The hired man should never try to
become too familiar with his employ
or. II he knows his business he will
always maintain the proper distance.
And that is always best for both sides;
but 1t does not mean any loss of dig
nifty on the part of the laborer.

CARE AND FEED FOR BROOD
SOWS.

While care should be taken to avoid
over-feeding just before narrowing. 1t
stands to, reason that the SOW must
have sufficient nutritious food to sus-
tain a brood sow in fairly good flesh
and to be in good condition to take
care of her pigs when they come.
II she is extremely poor at farrow-
ing time. she Will be unable to do her
duty by her pigs and they win have
a poor start In life.
+ Coburn. of i Kansas. declares that
the SOW is q laboratory wherein are
developed the germs of the future
herd. That being true, she must be
fed such foods as will make sound,
strong pigs at birth.
The brood SOW should not be fed
corn every day in the year, This grain
should be given most sparingly Just
before narrowing, and In It's place a
ration of two quarts oats. one quart
soaked corn with, say one part wheat,
will prove very excellent food

SELECTING THE BROOD MARE.

In selecting a brood mare for farm
purposes, the Percheron or Shire will
generally prove the most satisfactory.
They need not be too large, because
q heavy footed, clumsy beast is to be
avoided always.
A mare that weighs 1,400 to $500
pounds Is big enough for any use.
She should have. a clean, bony Head,
a prominent bright, intelligent eye,
good legs and large hoofs
Her barrel should be roomy, but
symmetrical with broad hind-quar-
ters. Avoid mare with any sugges-
ton of "cat hams"
"A good disposition Is essential, but
does not mean that brood mare must
be stupid or bungler in harness. .
Better pay $500 for first-class
brood mare than 800. The difference
will be made up in the first two colts
provided the right kind of sire IL
used.
With brood mare Of this descrip-
ton, a farmer can every year raise a
colt that will sell for $3.50 to 5000,
and get good service in farm work out
of her besides.

Coo cows do not come by chance,
but by wise and careful breeding, and

It is a mistake to save feed at the
expense of developing our young heif-

HOW TO TREAT ANIMAL WOUNDS.

animal wounds, and then because the

Bleeding can usually be checked
quite easily. If the blood is from a
large number of small vessels hem
orrhage can be checked and finally
stopped by means of ice and by very
hot or very cold water, or the wound
may be packed in clean cotton or
oakum and tightly bandaged.
In case large blood vessel is sew
cred, the artery may be secured by
means of a small forceps or even with
a hook made by bending a pin OF
piece of wire.
In some cases hemorrhages can be
easily controlled by tight bandage
placed above or below the wound. II
the blood flows in a steady stream
the bandage should be on the side
farthest from the heart. If it flows
