The Woeful Reflections Of a Wfthered

No substitute for good nature has
yet been found. Smiles take, root in

there never can be very much sun

the stomach and the brain are twins,
and what affects one invariably affects
the other. The adage that the best
road to persons heart is via the
stomach, still hold good.

breed gloom and sleepless nights.

Coach Kennedy OF x. U. Looks for d
Hard Thanksgiving Game

Kansas City, Nov. 1s.-Coach Kennedy
was in Kansas City last night He was
on his way back to Lawrence, after the
St. Louis game of Saturday. He SEEM
ed very much worried about the Mis-
souri-KanSas1 game at ST. Joseph
Thanksgiving day and did not like to
concede victory to the Tigers SO early,
but stated that Missouri ought to win
In speaking of the team and future
work he said: THE reports sent out
from st. Louis about the Kansas uni
versity boys being SO badly injured
were exaggerated some. I will admit
that some of the boys were hurt badly
but We're not all on their death beds
as the st. Louis reports would have
them.
Captain Rouse got a bad knock on
the head and he did suffer from con-
cussion of the brain but he is not in
a serious condition and will return to
the university soon. I think he will
be able to play in the Missouri game
Wright had his leg broken and will be
the only man to be kept out of the
Missouri game according to present in
dications. He and Rouse did not re-
turn to Lawrence. They were both ia
ken to hospital, where they will re-
main until they can be sent to the I'M
iversity again.
1.-The other men are in good condition
considering the hard game with st.
Louis. I expected them to be battered
up more than they were. I can not
find a man, outside of the two mention
ed, who is not fit for practice at once
and they will all be in good condition
when we meet the Tigers"

ST. Louis, Nov. 1s.-The condition of
Carl Rouse, captain Of the Kansas uni

ly injured in the game with st. Louis
university, was improved this morning,
according to a statement made at the
hospital to which he was taken.
1t could not be said, however, that
he was out of danger. as the nature
of his injury is such that several days
must elapse before a positive statement
on that point can be made.

cross Michigans goal with the ball, was
responsible.
Both Michigan and Pennsylvania car
ried the ball across the goal lines In the
second half forward passes, only to
have the referee disallow the touchdowns
and call the ball back, because of AlegaH-
ties in the plays. Both teams were in
magnificent physical condition and time
was taken out for injuries less than half
a dozen times. 1t was generally conceded
at the close of the game that Pennsylya-
MIA showed superiority throughout both
halves. The red and blue kept the play In
Michigan's territory more than three
quarters of the time.

Watering Horses.

No animal will drink too much If
watered sufficiently often; hence there
is no necessity for limiting the sup
ply except when the animal has been
deprived of water for too long a time.
Horses at rest should be given wa
ter at least three times day in SUM
mer and twice day in winter If they
cannot have free access to it at all
times. Working animals should be
watered more frequently and in warm
weather five times daily. There is a
common idea that horses should not
be watered when warm An animal is
never too warm to be watered If not
more than two gallons be given. This
fact will be well worth remembering,
A large quantity of water will injure
an animal at any time, but especially
is this SO when he is very warm or
quite fatigued.- Missouri Experiment

HINTS FOR FARMERS
Care Of Sheep In Summer.

In summer give your lambs and
sheep the best green pasture possible
and as wide range as you can fur
nish. Summer is a critical period in
the lives of the young sheep. and they
must be closely watched and protected,
especially against disease, poison and
dogs. 9f
See that they have good grass and
guard as much as possible against poi
sonous weeds, though the latter protec-
ton could hardly be expected to be
complete. Sheep do not often die from
the effects of poisonous weeds, but 1t
would be well to look over their pas
ture for such or for unknown weeds
that might prove injurious.
This, however, is a small matter
compared to the all important ques-
ton Of a pure water supply. To i'm
pure or tainted water are perhaps due
more losses from disease than any 9th
er one cause.

Remedy For Horse Flies.

During the summer months cattle
are often observed fighting vainly
against a perfect cloud of flies that
seem to be endowed with peculiar
intelligence. They seem to have gaug-
ed the exact scope Of the sweeping tail
and do not come within its range. In
stead they attack the head and shout
ders, writes an Iowa farmer in Farm
Progress. The following is rather
old fashioned remedy, but 1t has stood
the test of time, than which no better
recommendation could be given:
Crude cottonseed oil or fish oil and
pine tar naked, about two parts of the
former to one Of the latter. The two
mix readily and are very easily APP
piled to the animals at milking time by
means of large paint brush. Applied
in this manner it takes but half min
ute to COW, making the cost Of the
application but small matter.
