Treatment for Loco.

The results Of the loco weed when
eaten by stock are unpleasantly ia
miliar to the stockman Of the plains
east of the Rocky mountains. It has
been estimated that the losses from
this source in Colorado alone have
per annEsn The national bureau of
plant industry has been taking a turn
at the loco problem, and G. d. Marsh,
expert in poison plants, reports that
it has been found that locoed cattle
can in most cases be cured by a course
of treatment with strychnine, while
locoed horses can generally be cured
by a course of treatment with Fow-
ler's solution. The animals under
treatment must not be allowed to eat
the loco weed and should be given not
only nutritious food, but so far as pos
sible, food with laxative properties,
To this end magnesium sulphate was
administered to correct the constipa-
ton which is almost universal among
locoed animals. 1t should be noted,
too, that magnesium sulphate may
serve to some extent as an antidote to
the poison.
1t may be added in regard to the
question of immunity that loco poison
ing comes on in slow and cumulative
manner, so that there lis no possibility
of animals becoming immune.

Facts About Pharaoh.

A learned German scientist finds that
the Pharaoh who refused to let Moses
and his compatriots leave Egypt had the
govt and toothache. His name was
Menephtah. He was 5 feet S1a inches
tall, and died in 1915 B. c., at the age
of 60. He was a high liver. fat and
that he was very bad man, taking the
best seat at the table as well as the
front seat at the theater. The chalky
degeneration of his organs indicates
govt, and cavities in his teeth show he
had toothache. A man in his fix is sell
dom amiable, and his refusal to let the
Children of Israel go is not surprising
He was cross and must have made life
a burden for his family. Had his health
been better and his blood vessels less
chalky he might have given Moses a
hearty send-off and have even loaned him
his auto. Who knows baltimore Sun.

Mining Regulations Should Be Uniform.

A Pennsylvania representative has
presented to Congress startling COM
pilation Of casualty statistics in sup
port. of argument for the allowance of
$4,000 for a scientific investigation Of
mine disasters. He shows that the
number of fatal mine disasters rose in
the bituminous districts from 200 in
1898 to 500 in 1907, and in the anthra-
cite district from All to 70S
Accidents occur in coal states which
have stringent safety laws on their
statute books, because it is said that
the absence of such laws in other COM
petitive coal states makes the operators
lax in the adoption of the legal safe
guards. The idea of conducting an in
VestlgatiOn is therefore not only to show
what causes the accidents, but to make
it clear that preventive regulations
should be adopted and that such regula-
tons will be enforced wherever coal is
mined. Coal mine accidents cannot al
ways be prevented, owing to the uncer-
tainties of ventilation in underground
passages, and the liability to leakage of
gas from seams and through the
tapping of pockets in the coal deposits,
but the danger of explosions can be
largely reduced by the exercise of care.
The statement that mine owners are
lax in the enforcement of regulations for
the safeguarding of their men in the I'M
foreground workings simply because this
course would entail expense and place
them at a slight disadvantage in compe-
tition is an arraignment of operators for
risking human life for the sake of profit.
1t is also revelation of the necessity of
making the mining regulations general in
their application, so that when miners
go from one district to another they may
feel that they are receiving the same pro-
lection, and that they can go to work
with the assurance that whatever befalls
it will not be due to carelessness.

Disk PlOXvs.

The twenty-four-inch size disk pillow
can safely be recommended as being SUI
perior to any other size. The smaller
size pulls easier, but it does not pull
verize the soil so well. The disk pillow
is capable of handling ground that has
become too dry and hard for the mold
board pillow. 1t is of somewhat lighter
draft, does not require sharpening SC
often, cuts through trash better and
does not clog so easily. Do not try to
cut a furrow wider than eight or ten
inches with a disk. The wider the fur
row the deeper will corrugations be
and the poorer will be the work. 1t is
better to use two twenty four-inch
plows, each cutting eight inches in
width, than to use a single twenty
eight or thirty-inch pillow cutting six
teen inches.

If parents realized the fact that coz

would doubtless hesitate before giving
the babies coffee to drink.
when was a child in my mothers
arms and first began to nibble things at
the table, mother used to give me sips
of coffee AS my parents used coffee
exclusively at meals never knew there
was anything to drink but coffee and
water.
"And so l contracted the coffee habit
early. l remember when quite young,
the continual use of coffee so affected
my parents that they tried roasting
wheat and barley, then ground it in the
coffee-mill, as a substitute for coffee.
''But it did not taste right and then
went back to coffee again. That was

continued to use coffee until I was 81.

The Pacing Horse.

We have known of many animals
that have acquired the habit of pacing
because Of becoming sore forward. The
fore feet and legs do not assist in the
efforts of propulsion, their office is
simply to hold up or support the fore
and heaviest part of the animal, and
as it must keep these fore feet out Of
the way of the hind ones, a horse will
.endeavor to do so in the most awk-
ward of ways at times, for when sore
forward it takes to any sort of a gait
that to its mind appears to lessen the
pain of action. 1t quite frequently
adopts the single foot action, gradually
progressing into that of pacing. 1t

Wasted Road Money

In a recent speech at Peoria, H. H.
Gross, secretary of the Farmers Good
Road League and special agent for the
National Department Of Agriculture to
study the question of highways, made
the following statement: ''In forty
years enough money has been thrown
away and squandered on the dirt roads
of Illinois to pay for crawling or mac
adamizing every foot of highway in
the State" He went on further to
state that as good, hard roads could
be built on the black land in the corn
belt of Illinois as in Massachusetts, or
in any other State, and at moderate
annual expense to the landowners of
the State, possibly not exceeding their
present annual tax for road and bridge

one and two-thirds cups of corn meal,

Have two rounding tablespoons of but

batter and pour one cup of sweet milk
over the top, but do not stir it in. Set
in the oven to bake half an hour. The
cake will have a custard-like streak all

mixture. When the heads are forming
use one pound of pyrethum powder to
four pounds Of flour to dust the plants.
This is harmless to man. After the
head begins forming paris green should
not be used. Those who are afraid
to use paris green are generally success
full by beginning early to use the py-
rethum powder and spraying often.
Cabbage and other plant lice are best
controlled by spraying with kerosene
emulsion, using the Is per cent solution
"a solution containing 10 per cent of
kerosene. If the lice are on trees,
flowers or rose bushes, tobacco decoc-
ton may be used with good results.
The tobacco decoction is made by TAX
ing three pounds of tobacco stems and
five gallons Of water and boiling for
two hours 1t is used without diluting,
but must not be applied too hot, or it
may scald the plants.
If treatment is begun in time plant
lice can be controlled. It must be done
before the leaves are curled SO the
spray can reach the pests. There
should be several sprayings, four or
five days apart, as one spraying will
not completely do the work. Clean Gull
ture is important in fighting these In
sects, as with many others.

haul of his gill net the other day, he
found 1T very hard work, with all the

he had caught a prize anchor or some
other valuable asset, he used all due
precaution. AS the net neared the sur
face Starr began to fear he had caught
a sea serpent, or some other ugly mon
ster Of the deep. and he was wondering
what to do with It when two kegs of
beer bobbed up. The fisherman man
aged to get one of the kegs into his boat,
but the other got away from him. His
friends helped him investigate, and they
found that the beer was still fresh and
foamy.

Egg SuhSfifuteH.

Many egg substitutes are made, some
from skim milk, some from mixtures Of
animal or vegetable fats, albumen,
starch or flour, coloring matter and a
leavening powder, in addition to the
mineral waters similar to those found
in the egg. Other egg substitutes are
little more than starch, colored with
some yellow substance. Of course, such
products can not be made to replace
fresh eggs, in that they do not contain
much heterogeneous matter, or fat. Pro-
ducts made from them may be very
harmful.
