Youngest and Oldest Delegate.

In Its notes of the delegates to the
State Convention the Charleston Gazette
says:
Mr.. Bernard J. Miles is the youngest
delegate. and who came the longest dis
lance to the State Convention. Mr..
Miles is from Harpers Ferry and is a
junior member of the firm of Miles &
Sons. He IS young politician of ability.
At the last municipal election lie received
the largest vote ever given the Office. and
III all probability will be the next mayor

Democrat. and be right. =" is the Miles
slogan.

convention is Dr. l. r. Charter. of West
Union. who is 92 years old and who has
voted the Democratic ticket II times. He
has not missed state convention IN near
ly SO years. DR.. Charter remained al

Every live stock farmer should pro-
vide comfortable quarters for his
stock before cold weather sets In, says
Farmers Advocate. Good quarters
where live stock can keep dry through
the wiuter storms are necessary. Good
shelter saves feed, and feed necessarily
saves money. Comfortable quarters
should not only be provided for the
winter months II Is just as necessary
for cattle and other live stock to have
cool place for summer as n warm
place for winter The proper housing
OF live stock Is n matter which should
receive the attention n every farmer.
II is not cxtravagant 10 invest money
In these things; neither Is II necessary
that the buildings should be Of costly

Feeding Alfalfa to Horses.

In a recent Issue OF the Breeders
Gazette OF Chicago Joseph f. Wing
says OF feeding alfalfa 70 horses:
When alfalfa hay Is first fed 20
horses or mules not accustomed TO II
and fed IN large amounts II sometimes,
not always. makes them urinate more
freely than Is their wont. This is
nearly always a very temporary effect,
and In a short time they eat alfalfa
hay with no other noticeable effect
than that they are In better flesh than
when eating other forage. work better
and feel better
Alfalfa hay for horses or mules
should be allowed 10 get fairly mature
before cut, should be well cured and
have no mold on n. The last cutting OF
alfalfa is usually too late TO make the
best horse feed. the coarscr crops
grown earlier IN the season serving
better. Neither horses nor mules
should be fed all the alfalfa hay they
will consume II IS too rich a feed.
and they do not need so much OF II.
though II IS ordinarily fed IN limitless
amounts with no perceptible injury.

Aside from the cold compress or ice
which every one knows should be put
on a child's neck at the base OF the
head, there are other remedies which
should be resorted 10 II the bleeding Is
at all profuse. In addition TO the cold
compress on the back OF the neck lay
a cloth wrung out OF cold water over
the root Of the nose and instruct the
child TO hold the arms high over the
head until the nose stops bleeding.
The child should not be allowed 10
blow his nose for some time after the
bleeding has stopped, for II this Is
done II Is apt 70 make the nosebleed
again and more profusely.
