PALUNACY,
By JOHN KENDRIcK BANGS.

The greatest invasion of the rights
m private parties as yet recorded is
alleged to have occurred recently at
Athens, N. Y, where, according to a
dispatch from the local correspondent
Of a New York paper, a citizen un-
known, dissatisfied with the quality of
the tar pavements, covered them with
feathers, with the usual result. This
is the first time In the history of
American municipalities that a town
has been tarred and feathered. We
hope the tendency will stop with this
beginning, for we should not like to
wake up some morning to find that
our chosen city had either been lynch
ed or ridden upon rail.
The latest report of the government
telegraphs and telephones of Great
Britain shows a loss for the year of
100000. The proportion of this loss
properly borne by the telephone de-
partment is an indication that, as far
as the taxpayers of Britain are con-
cerned, talk is no cheaper than it used
to be.
Orange, Tex, is one of the latest
towns to come in out of the wet That
city constructed a small waterworks
system some years ago and operated it
for several years prior to 1902 at q
clear loss. In that year the city en-
tered into q lease with a private COM
pany. and the other day the contract
was revised and renewed for twenty
years. We are glad to note that at
least one Orange recognizes a lemon
when it sees it and refuses to allow
itself to be squeezed any longer.

AS to municipal ownership of street

sorely taxed in rendering judgment in

should be then or at any other time

So you can see the necessity or quar-

cage sick birds. The first thing to do
is to remove all affected birds, with
their squads, to other quarters. White

strong with crude carbolic acid.
Renew nest material and keep unaf-
fected birds under close observation.
Feed dry, meal sprinkled with sulphur.
In treatment If disease can be local

appears the warts will dry up and fall

Remove top of warts, dip toothptck

we put her In pen 1, putting No. l In

full. Then we begin to remove them

The ends are made of portable gates.
A small creep house will be noticed In
the gate between the lamb pen and the
ewes and lambs through which the
lambs can pass. These gates may be
removed the next fall and again give
the flock the entire barn. The gate

THE HORSEMAN.

During spells of wet and muddy
weather continuing over week or
more 1t frequently happens that horses
will acquire that skin affection of the
fetiocks known as scratches or cracked
heels. The causes are many-namely,
allowing the road mud to accumulate
on the legs and dry and stabling In
damp and filthy stalls or washing the
legs frequently with cold water and
then not drying them thoroughly after
ward.
The secret Of the whole matter OF
preventing scratches is to keep the
skin clean. The direct cause of the
| trouble is that the glands In the hoHow
| of the pastern become indamed, their
secretions increase and the skin cracks,
| discharging that bad odor familiar to
| all horsemen. The treatment In mild
cases Is to remove the horse to a dry
place. well bedded. Cleanse the heels
thoroughly with warm water and dry
then apply something that will ease
the skin. In aggravated cases poultices

some good veterinarian sought-Iowa

Take the mare to 1t at least once In
the middle Of the half day and let 1t
suck while she rests. Do not hurry
her back to her task either. Very soon
both mother and foal will become re-
signed to this system Of living, and
neither will fret much. The colt Will
be nibbling the grass, even munching
| oats, instead of YEARLY plodding the
| endless corn rows with its mother I'M

| the mare should work. No; 1t Ii better
that she should give all Of her energy
to making milk for her foal, but this
is not always practicable on the gen.
eral farm.

earlier he learns to eat oats the better,
and the more he eats Of them while
sucking his dam the better. Add

Certain goose bone prophets In our
schools Of chicken house philosophy
are wrinkling their brows to invent
unusualities-
One erudite seer says that the longer |

If the hen has to wait long for the
nest, the shell gets 80 thick that the
chick can't break through. This may
not be a shell game. but 1t certainly
IA a thin shell argument for thick
shell theory. If true, the egg shipper
might rejoice, for he could easily pro
duce eggs with shells so thick that no
baggage smasher could crack them.

by weight, would need only furnish
few nests and much oyster shell nc W
