who yelled by twenties and hundreds :
"Nine rahs for Stub: rah, rah, rah

Drexel institute, Philadelphia, and has
had charge of the department of do

years ago, and which has been built

Lightning Kills Four Horses
Near Palouse.

Tuesday evening about 80 O'Clock,
during the thunder storm which visited
this section Of the Palouse, Lum How
ard, farmer who lives on the /. w.
Comstock farm five miles west of
town, was struck by lightning and rem
dered unconscious, and four of the
horses which he was driving were in
stantly killed, says the Palouse Re-
public.
Howard was summerfallowing and
had five horses hitched abreast to the
plow. The two horses on either side
were instantly killed, while the center
horse escaped injury. Howard was
pIowing near a wire fence, and it is
thought the wire had something to do
with attracting the electricity.

Mr.. W. H. Lawrence and Miss
Edith F. McDermott, both we'll and
favorably known by students of W.S.
c. and residents of Pullman, were
united in wedlock on Monday, the 9Th
inst. in one of the prettiest wedding
ceremonials that has ever occurred in
Pullman.
The disturbance noticed in Pullman
town on the evening of the wedding
was merely outbursts of enthusiasm
on the part of student friends of the
newly welded couple, and the explos-
ion of few young bomb shells here
and there, and the yells that shook the
air far and wide. were all we'll meant,
although certainly did not add to the
decoum of the occasion. And when
thirty minutes after the wedding, Mr..
Lawrence asked one of his acquaint-
ances if he would lend miss McDer-
mott" wrap to wear to Colfax that
evening, his friends were unable to
overlook the opportunity of having a
little fun at his expense.
The ceremony occurred in st. James
Episcopal church of this city. Green
and white were prominent in the color
scheme, and there were flowers: lilacs,
syringas and snowballs. During the
ceremony. the bride carried prayer
book. C. W. Lawrence, brother of the
bridegroom, acted as best man.
Preceded by four ushers, Professors
Moody. Akers, Cleveland and Calkins,
the bridal party entered from the YES

played by the college orchestra, under

Buying q Horse.

Never have horse brought out, or

and investigate for yourself certain
details, which, once you know them,
require no special acumen to decide
upon, or to be aware of, writes F. M.
Ware, in the Outing Magazine. For
instance, is there grain in the manger
and the hour for feeding some time
past? He may be a bad feeder, ner-
vous, delicate-well to call the veter-
inarian's attention to this point. Is
the straw under his fore feet unusu-
ally trampled or broken? May be
one of those irritable, nervous "weav-
ers" (horses which constantly sway
from side to side) who are generally
also bad feeders and poor property.
Are the stall posts or sides battered
or kicked? He may be kicker (by
day or night, spelling his own rest
and that of other horses). Does he
tear or eat his blankets? Is he tied
in any special way or simply and as
other horses are?
Is he gentle to approach and to
handle-no nipping, kicking or pull
ing back on the halter? Does he
stand square on both fore feet or rest
one or both alternately? Does he

Feeding For Health.

II Is time dairymen took a more
rational view Of their business and
fed their cows in amanner that would
promote their health instead of fore
Ing them to their very limits, as is
the case In many sections where dali
ryis Is the exclusive branch of agri-
culture. They are feeding too mar
row rations for the good of the cows.
Agricultural colleges and dairy in
structors are constantly advising the
purchase Of these abnormal nitroge-
neous foods. Their whole line of
dairy wisdom is one sided They
think nothing of increasing the cows
production at the pail, without regard
to the kind of calf she will drop. Cows
that are raised and developed upon
clover hay, ensilage, wheat bran and
oats. with good luxuriant pasture
grass during the summer, will make
better cows than those that are over
fed on a ration or rich protein feeds.
| will stake my reputation on this
fact. We may not make as much
milk, but we will have healthier cows,
and what wo do make will be made
cheaper, and our calves will be bet
ter than they would II we fed narrow
rations. I don't care. one particle
whether ration Is one to four or one
to seven as long as 1t does the BUSH
ness.
The average dairyman does not
employ methods best calculated to
give the best results in breeding.
Some dairymen will raise every heif-
er calf born on his farm, while anoth-
er dairyman will not raise any. I
wish we could induce dairymen to
make some exchange of calves where
by only the best calves from high pro-
ducing cows would be raised.
In this way the dairyman who had
the facilities for raising and develop
ing the heifers could go out and get
the very best calves and raise them
and sell for a good price instead of
growing the weedy calves that were
born on his place.
This would do more than any one
thing to Improve the quality of our
dairy herds and the growers could
realize greatly increased profits upon
the cows that they raised. In connec-
tion with this calf exchange there
would need to be system of selec-
ton, for the laws of heredity control
the dairy function as fully as they do

Silk will be much worn, not only

Miniature fans, mere playthings,

The long sleeves on the dainty lace

1t is noticeable that the jumper eff

A turban of black fox is trimmed

Popular runabout hats, to be worn

When Are Hens Too Old.

The following from a writer in the
Southwestern Stockman may help to
decide this question:
In recent Issue of the Reliable
Poultry Journal appears half-tone
of twenty-two-year-old hen that Is
still laying enough eggs to pay for
her keeping. The cut is accompanied
by sworn afildavlt as to- her age and
ability to still perform the duty OF
the hen, lay eggs and plenty of them.
This hen has knocked the top off
some of the theories '2Sgood shape.
for Just few years back 1 read an
article In the same journal, written
by big one who made the statement
that hen would not lay more than
coo eggs during lifetime. The gent
set forth the theory In very flourish
Ing article that took lot of space,
and would have the dear people dis
pose of everything at the age of two
years, as they had laid about all the
eggs they would.
Somehow this calls out the state
hicht maui w uOCtOT u lcW yehTb
ago, who said that man at the age
of sixty was of no more use, and had
better be put out of the way. But,
strange to say, this same doctor
passed the sixty mark a short time
ago, and has neither committed sui
eide or invited any one to stop his
clock.
The doctor smashed his own the
ory and the twenty-two-year-old hen
smashed the other one. Theory is
somewhat like sympathy-very shall
low. Yet we must contend with all
sorts of ideas, but most every one
who has raised poultry knows that
there are quite few hens that will
continue to lay to good advantage as
long as they stay In healthful con-
dltion, regardless of age.

Raising the Colt by Hnnd.

1t not infrequently happens that
colts are left motherless while yet
young. Such colts are not an entire
failure. They can be reared by hand
and thrive quite well where the pro-
per care Is given them. II the colt
has had even one or two feeds of Its
mothers milk 1t Is well started, but
where 1t has had none It Is in a worse
shape. In such case the bowels should
first be opened with a dose of castor
oil, and short while after that II
Ian get its first feed. To make a sub
stitute of its mothers milk take fresh
cows milk, add to 1t one-fourth water
and sweeten somewhat with sugar.
This should be fed to the colt at blood
temperature four or Ave times a day.
After the colt Is few, weeks to q
month old 1t can be fed little oat-
meal or other soft food. Even before
this time 1t will begin nlbbling soft
grasses. Although the colt must be
started In very slowly on these feeds
IL will be found that they help won

To manifest an interest in what

avoid meriting her disapproval.
To lift the many burdens from
shoulders that have grown stopped,

and working for them.

In an unobtrusive way.
