COL. SEELY PRESENTED
WITHlBLOODHOUNDS
Which He Takes to Indiana to Run

Game Laws.

Col. Thomas B. Seely left for his

morning, after having been here ten
days. He took with him two hand
some hounds presented him by
Charles d. Johnston, of Redwood.
They are fine speciment of the ca
nine tribe as they grow In the Rich
wood section of country. Col. seely
is game warden at his home and will
press these dogs into service to run
down violators of the game laws of
Indiana, though they do not alto
gether have the appearance of blood
hounds. He is assured. however, by
Mr.. Johnston that they are the sort
of bloodhounds that abound in the
wilds of Nicholas and Webster coun-
ties, and they certainly do look
savage enough and the Telegram is
satisfied they will eat, though their
general appearance indicates they
did not fare very well in that re-
spect, when in and about Redwood.

MAYQ'S COTTAGE

Fire almost completely destroyed
a cottage at AIS O'Clock Wednesday
morning belonging to R. D. Mayo
and occupied by Leonard Dotson.
mail clerk on the Short Line rail-
road. The house is located at S12
Bird Lane in Glen Elk. The fire de
partment responded and extinguish-
ed the blaze. but not until after the
building was about all destroyed. AT
The time but few people were up in
that neighborhood and as the re-
suit most of Mr.. Dotson's household
goods were destroyed. The loss
amounts to several hundred dollars.
It is not definitely known how the
fire originated, but it is believed it
was caused by strong pressure of
gas in heater, which came on sud-
DENY and caused the FIRE that had
been turned down low during the
night to flash up into a big blaze.
Returning from the fire the depart
ment stalled in the mud and the
street team had to be pressed into
service to get 1t out.

FEEDING PLATFORM FOR HOGS.
Aim Should Be to Keep the Animals
as Clean as Possible.

Where hogs are maintained and fed
out of doors all ses sons of the year 1t
is not only advanta yeous but very es-
sential for the promotion of best sani-
tary condition, that some arrangement
be completed whereby the feeding
may be conducted upon clean, whole.
some basis. The farmer who feeds
his hogs anywhere there is a dry
place about the hog yard, is likely
sooner or later to notice an unthrifty
appearance among scne members Of
his animals. Hols when maintained
in pen out of doors will not do their
best unless they have some perma
nent and sanitary feeding place
whereby they can receive their meals
regularly and in an acceptable con-
dition
We handle all our hors in yards dur.
ing the entire year and find with
proper ARRANGEMENTS we are able to
keep our animals cleaner and health
Ter than under any other system OF
management says a cor espondent OF
Prairie Farmer. We find that by pro.
viding proper conveniences for feed.
ing we can maintain a larger number
OF hogs upon our farm without loss
or disease

our feeding platforms. This platform

IFS the strenuous excitement OF family

( is on my nervous system to be
forced to live a constant lie. That is
what I am doing. For instance, the
other morning, about two o'clock,
was jogging quietly along. almost doz-
ing, when suddenly l heard the click
OF key In the hall door and stealthy
footsteps creeping along the corridor.
All at once the lights fiared up and |
saw the master Of the house blinking

sible for his troubles and sins. Then
we both heard stir in the other
room. Quick as a fash he had rush
ed at me, jerked open my glass face
and thrust my hand back two hours.
Think OF it! Two solid hours-and all
that night work to be done over again
to say nothing OF the modification
felt at having to lie to his wife.
The next morning. very naturally.
The lady having slept all night and
rome to bed early was awake hours
before her husband. When she tried
to get him up for breakfast he blinked
at me again and declared he wouldn't
stir until half-past nine. He had

That afternoon the kid came In

that that repast would be served as
usual at $3.50 I quaked in my case. for
saw his eyes steal toward me. He
said nothing, but waited until his
mother left the room. Then he crept
over. shook his fist in my face and
deliberately jerked me up a full hall

The strain was beginning to tell
on my nerves, you can imagine. Blu,
the worst was yet to come, Thai

DIGESTION CT roops.
A Plain. Practical Talk on the Science
Of Feeding. n

1T is not what is eaten, but what
Is digested, that nourishes," is an az.
iom Of the medical doctor, and this
applies with equal force to the animals
Of the farm, although many breeders
and rearers of stock display a much
greater interest In what to feed than
in the question Of how to feed" One
authority says that 1T is not sum-
cient to know that certain substances
possess great nutriment, and that 9TH
are are practically useless, but 1t must
be known what foods are most suited
to the varying conditions of the or
ganism, in what form these should be
administered and to ascertain how the
best feeding can he obtained in the
most economical manner" The ar
rangement of the digestive apparatus
of animals has an important bearing
on their system of feeding. and what
is right and proper for one is quite
unsuited to the other.
The small and single stomach Of the
horse, its capacious bowels. and the
absence of the gall bladder. are in
marked distinction to the enormous
stomach of the OK. the small intes-
tines and the presence of gall blad-
der. and thus the feeding of cattle and
sheep differs much from the feeding
Of pigs from either.
The object of food is to build up and
repair the tissues and MAINTAIN re-
serve for the body requirements. says
the Montreal Herald, but food as re-
ceived is quite useless for the purpose
OF the body, and before 1t can be uti-
lized II must form part Of and parcel
of the animal, either in the solid or
liquid tissues. The digestibility Of
food Is it's power of undergoing alb
sorption into the body for the purpose
of nutrition, and in every food given
to animals there is a distinct diges-
ton of the proteid, fat and carbohy-
d:ate in II. The amount of these
which are absorbed under favorable
conditions is fairly definite, but under
unfavorable conditions. such as the
food being badly cured" or there be-
ing too much carbohydrate present, or
too much or tooalittle proteid in the
diet, the amount absorbed departs
from the normal. and less is extracted
o. less stored up than would have been
