Department from the Evangelical Ministers
Association of Atlanta, Ga, in regard to
the Sunday base ball playing of the SOL
diers at Fort Mcpherson. 1t Is asserted
that this psstime leads to disorder within
the post and on the roads leading to it.
On the other hand, the military authorities
at Fort Mcpherson state that base ball
playing has not occurred there for many
months and that the games have never at

critics, like the doctors, will disagree, but
it cannot be denied that Evers is a grand

Chicago Cubs to land the flag by as good
a margin as was the case. He is tower

there is a strong feeling that his services

that he positively will not play ball, as he

fore knew she was sick. This
remedy is so simple, that but for
the fact that l have used it a great
many times, and always with
success, would not put it in
print. My plan is this: to watch
my cows, and if l see any sign
of failing appetite or failing
health in any form, give them
as many green collard leaves as
they will eat three times day.
My private opinion is, that if
used in time they will knock up
many a case of tuberculosis.
3.-LooK AFTER HER FEED.
Of course to get the best out
of a cow you must look after her
feed. A cows stomach is very
much like steam engine boiler :;
it has to be kept at least seven
eighths full. The COW will not
explode, if neglected, like the
steam boiler, but keep her one
half full of poor feed long enough
and if you have enough of them
they will explode you. There
has been many cow that did not
pay her board bill. But if YOU
have good cows, and will feed
them on the same principle that
you feed yourself, they will pay
you handsomely for all your
pains. No man confines himself
to one diet all the year round /;
neither should a cow be confined
to the products of the oil mill
the year round. Give TO cow a
variety feed in abundance, and
look well to her health and her
comfort, and she will do her
level best for you-and "lhat
will be a plenty"

half of the work stock when warm
weather sets in. Do not over

that the collars and harness fit
and present a firm, smooth, clean
surface where they touch the an.
imal. He who allows horses
shoulders to get sore through the
neglect of these essentials and
continues to work them in that
condition, commits a very great
and grievous sin against a noble
animal. Especially do we wish
TO remark thai a cheap collar in
price may be very expensive IN
results
When the shoulders get sore,
procure the right sort of collar
even if it does cost more than
you think it should. Keep it
clean, wash the shoulder with
cold water when the collar is re-
moved, then rub .dry and apply
a lotion composed of one dram

of zinc in one pint Of water.
Many complaints come to us of
mules out Of condition, with bad
appetites and occasional attacks
Of collie. When the animals ap-
petite is not good, the addition
of more feed than he will eat up
only serves to still further de-
press his desire for food; there.
fore no matter how small the
quantity it may be that he will
eat up clean, no more should be
given him. In fact, to keep an
animal with good sharp appe-
tite all the time, just little less

must be fed each time than he
will eat up. 1t, therefore, follows
that when the appetite is not
good the work should be lessened
aud the food restricted to such
an extent as to assist in produc-
ing hunger. A good plan is to
restrict the food entirely for
twenty four hours and give very
light work, aud then begin with
only a small portion of a full
ration and gradually increase it
so as to have the animal back on
full feed, only after several days.
To prevent collie and save feed,
while keeping the work stock in
better shape, feed all the hay at
night. give good feed of grain
after an hours rest from the days
work, and then feed very light
grain rations morning and noon.

Horns were given cows to fight

ing in the dairy herd; so they
don't need horns.
(b) Give every cow separate
box stall, at least SX9 feet where
she can lie down and chew her
cud in peace. Better have ten
good dry box stalls than twice
that number to be tied up and

E. Stansbury, the Middleport We
terinarian, went to Graham Sta
ton and performed a feat of dem
tai surgery. A horse had been
brought there from Stevens, w.
Va, which had been pronounced
a sufferer from "big head" by a
number of veterinarians. The
horse is a six year old and had
been useless for i years, owing to
q terrible swelling above thejsw.
DR.. Stansbury removed a dental
formation from the jaw of the
horse supposed to be a tooth
which beats all records. 1t
weighs 81 ounces and measures 8
inches around the longest way.
To displace the tooth an opening
had to be cut through from the
outside and drill inserted strik-
ing the base OF the tooth by
which means it was driven out
rather than pulled. The horse
regained all his old time spirit
and life as soon as the operation
was over.-Pomeroy Independ-
