BUTTERFLY LUNCHEON GOOD.
Decorations Easy to Make, and Al. ways Effective.

The butterfly is symbolic of the resurrection, and the hostess seeking something new can have butterfly" luncheon. Butterflies are easily made from paper decorated with water col. ors, gold and silver paint, or from crepe papers and tinsel cords. Sus. pend a number of these fairy-like ere. ations by very fine thread from the chandelier over the dining room table and the effect is wonderfully pretty. Candle shades and place cards may be in the same shape, the latter poised upon a wire. For the centerpiece use spring flowers, there is new pointed flower holder which is most adaptable for low centerpieces and short-stem. med flowers. If this contrivance can. not be found I will send name and ad. dress by mail if stamped envelope is sent. for it is the most practical thing l have seen for low or high decora. tions; really boon to hostesses.

stated recently, show registry in bo-
gus stud books published for the sole
purpose of making money and en-
abling unscrupulous dealers to sell
low-grade horses as pedigreed ami
mails. 1t is important when buying a
stallion first to deal with salesman,
breeder or dealer sof known integrity,
and then to watch that the pedigree
certificate corresponds in it's state
ments as to color and markings with
those shown by the animal in ques-
ton. Next the age should be correct
as shown by the teeth, examined by
an expert at the request of the buyer.
In many instances a young colt has a
star covered by the forelock, and this
is not mentioned in the pedigree cer-
tificate, but may be the cause of trou-
BILE and dispute later on, when it is
noticed, having grown larger with the
full growth of the horse If star is
mentioned on the pedigree, see that it
is on the horse, and vice versa, and
that all other particulars are correct.

the certificate of registry is issued by
a stud book association recognized by
the government department of agricul-
ture. ....

WANT STATISTICS OF DIVORCE.
Director of Government Census En-
plains Its Necessity.

In an interview regarding the dis
)atch of employees to 20 of the largest.
cities to collect divorce statistics, Will
liam S. Rossiter, acting director of
the census, pointed out that all OF
the $50 clerks already sent out are
trusted employees, sworn to secrecy,
and that "the public will never be
any the wiser as to Individual cases
when we have finished.
-"Our records" he said, will not
even contain the names of the d.
vorce6 persons when they are COM
plete. It is block statistics that the
government is after, and nothing else.
we are simply sending corps of men
and women clerks from our Offices in
this city, as we do continually in col
lecting various kinds of statistics, and
they are being installed in the court
houses of 20 of the large cities where,
under the direction of a man of the
bureau, they will go through the d.
vorce records of the past 20 years
hurriedly and in business-like man.
ner, and take out certain cold facts,
which will never have any personal
significance to the bureau or to the
public.
1T is estimated that between 3O,-
0OO and $4,000 are recorded for this
2O-year period in each of the cities
OF New York, Chicago and Philadel-
phia, and that 100000 are recorded
in the entire country for this period"
1t will take year to complete the
collection of the divorce statistics
throughout the country.

ingly they may recover, but usually
have another attack. In the early
stages Of the disease the pulse is al
ways very rapid, while in the latter
stages it is very weak. Horses may
linger with this disease for several
months. AS a rule, horses live from
two to three weeks. It is only occa-
sionally that animals recover. Be
sides the above symptoms, there is
swelling of the legs. This is a symp-
tom that is not always observed, and
only when in the latter stages of the
disease. This swelling may also be
noticed under the abdomen. The
swelling indicates very poor circular
ton, and is very bad symptom.
There are also found petecchiae (little
blood spots) on the mucous mem
branes. These are especially found on

preciate the Importance of care and
attention in securing good seed corn
Investigations show that much poor
seed corn has resulted from a lack of
care in the harvesting and storing
Too little attention has been given to
these points by seedsmen and corn
growers, and the result is that the
corn growers suffer an enormous loss
each year. The loss this year to the
farmers of Indiana from this source
alone will amount to many thousands
of dollars.
Corn should be allowed to mature
thoroughly before being picked. Corn
picked when immature does not con-
tain all the plant food intended for
it, and consequently has the vitality
weakened. When gathered before it
is fully matured the seed is difficult
to preserve. When dried in a warm
place it is liable to sprout, and un-
less there is a good circulation of air
it will become heated and mouldy.
During the average season, heavy
frosts may be expected during the
last part of October and early part
of November. At this time the corn
on the stalk contains a high per cent.

good size and quality, which have
straight rows of regular sized kernels
and which most nearly represent the
type desired. These ears should be
at a convenient height of four and
one-half to five feet on the stalks and
should be attached to the stalk by a
shank medium in length and strength.
The ear when matured should break
over and hang with the tip downward.
Ears in an upright position are OBJ
jectionable owing to the fact that they
are more or less subjected to the rains
and hot sun, which Injuries the vital
lty: Experiments carried on al the
Illinois station show that seed from
ears high on the stalk and in an up
right position yielded almost ten bush
els less corn per acre than did seed
from ears hanging in the natural po-
sition. Experiments also proved that
the ears growing high on the stalk
and in an upright position, when plant
ed, gave stalks a. very high per cent.
Of which bore ears in a similar man
ner.
For the reasons that ears so located
are inconvenient to harvest, have low
vitality and low producing power, they
should never be selected for seed.
Perhaps there is no way in which
corn is injured more than through i'm
proper storing. Corn as it comes from
the field contains high per cent. of
moisture, and if subjected to a high
or low temperature will be materially
injured. Too many people overlook
this fact, and the result is that we
have large quantities of seed corn
with low vitality.

symptom is the Increase of the urine

animal has been examined two or
three times on that many day Us. If
one takes into consideration the good
appetite with continual loss of flesh,
the pale mucous membranes, and the
peculiar pulse, he can diagnose with

Prognosis.-Thep prognosis of this
disease is very unfavorable. Some
ranchmen and veterinarians claim that
the death rate runs from so to rs
per cent, while others claim even a
higher percentage. The writer is of
the opinion that. a very small per
cent of the animals recover. We have
observed that where farmers have
carefully nursed their animals they
appear to recover, only to have ~an
other attack which seemed to be more
severe, death finally resulting. The
writer has never seen thoroughly
cured animals since he has observed
this disease.

This disease is also called Swamp
fever' by farmers, and :"perniciors

braska many of the farmers call the
disease typhoid fever" for it resem.
bles this fever very much. The man
ner in which the disease is contracted
by horses is not definitely understood.
In the last few years the veterinarians
in the Philippines have discovered a
disease, prevalent in India under the
name of "surra," the description of
which corresponds much to that of
malarial fever of horses in this coun-
try, with the exception that bacteriol-
ogists have not been able to find the
surra parasite in the blood of affected
animals in this country.

come weak over the loins, so that
farmers suspect some kidney trouble.
They drag their legs. During these
first symptoms the horses do not ap-
parently lose their appetite, eating ra-

weaker all the time. The temperature
becomes more elevated, running as
high as 103 to 106 degrees. The va

characteristic symptoms. 1t may re-

drop down, only to rise again. In this
condition of changing temperature the
horses become too weak to work.
They lose flesh very rapidly and are
usually laid off from work. It may
occur that the animal will improve for
week or ten days, only to have an
other attack more severe than the first
one. Horses may have two or three
attacks, and death finally follows,
