Receipts at the Stock centers.

The number of sheep that reach
by no means a criterion as to the
number slaughtered. For instance:
We will see thousand sheep go onto
the Denver, Kansas City or Omaha
market today and if consigned to some
one there will be entered into the re-
ceipts for that day. Then these may
be reshipped to Chicago and entered
into the receipts there. They may be
then sold to some feeder who takes
them out and when fed they are
brought back to go through at least
a part of the same program again.
They may be then shipped to one of
the eastern markets to be entered
there as receipts. They may be ex-
ported where they will be entered as
receipts at some other market. 1t
may be that a bunch of ewes taken
out for breeding purposes will some
day be brought back to go through
the same course. Now what does this
mean, besides being a poor criterion
to judge of the number slaughtered?
1t means the paying of half dozen
commissions and yardage as well as
other expenses on the same stock.
That some of this can not be helped
is true, but as much of it could be
avoided if matters were worked right.
Watering the Horse When Warm.
There is no danger of watering
horse when it is hot if precaution is
taken to prevent rapid cooling. 1t
is the chilling of the surface of the
body through rapid evaporation of the
perspiration that causes congestion in
the feet which is called water founder.
A horse may suffer in this way and
not even see water. We have no hest
fancy in saying that horse is never
too hot to drink. This does not mean
that it should be allowed all it will
drink. There is danger of an Excess
sively thirsty horse drinking too much
Working horses suffer seriously from
not being watered more frequently
Three or even four times day is not
enough for a hard working horse in
hot weather and once every hour is
better. Water should be given within
two hours after each feed and in hot
weather the first thing in the morning
in addition to the usual practice. A
horse uses up water when at hard
work just as does an engine. If it
is not supplied it is drawn from the
body tissues. They shrink and the
horse becomes poor This is the eX-
PLANTATION for hard working horses be-
coming poor far more frequently than
from lack of feed, and water is usually
cheaper than feed.

Commencement Then And Now

The old Commencement Day of the
fresh water s%ectarian college is gone
forever, even though our youth
should come to us again. 1t has de-
parted with the age when a plug hat
and a Prince Albert we're the ne plus
ultra ofmale speendor of after: when
dinner was at noon, when theer were
fried potatoes and fried steak for
breakfast, and for supper stewed
dried peaches, cake, and tea. All
gone, and gone forever!
l returned to the Commencement
at the old place not long ago. 1t was
not the old place at all. The North
Building was bestowed away in an
obscure nook as one hides the crayon
portraits of Pop and Mother, once
thought to be so fine the old North,
down whose spiral stair rails we slidso
gaily from the top floor to the base
ment. The old lagpole was gone.
There were no ragweeds in the
front campus, and the paths we're
paved. There were fine buildings of
cut stone with SO many modern
improvements that they diden't seem
natural.
1t was all changed. There was no
platform under the crnvas canopy and
no young orators filed their lungs
with the June air laden with the per-
.fume of the poisoning ailantuses.
The Commencement exercises were
held in the chapel, and instead of a
brass band the organist vainly tried
to catch the step of the President for
the Priests March from "Athala"
The faculty, the graduating class, all
logged out IN fancy.colored hoods and
swishing in black gowns, with mortar
boards whose tossels gave each a riot
our black eve, s%auntered up the aisle
Instead Of making burning speeches,
the class sat down placidly in the aud
fence and li%stened--or appeared to
listen-to a commencement orator, y
some big gun from somewhere. -
