burBeOh'b hhhIo Oure1 HeWo6Ch0.
After suffering excruciating pairs in hia
head for twenty-five years, Louis Wolf
son of Cincinnati has secured relief BY
having the surgeons cut out two nerves.
The pain was above the eyes and at the
temples and required four or Eve times
week. He had consulted the leading
specialists, tried medicines, various forms
of massage and electrical treatment In
vain. The two offending nerves, one ON
each side, were between one and two
inches long and about as thick as a pin.
They are termed sensory nerves--that Is,
nerves which give the sense Of feeling and
not control of the movements of mus
Giles. The headaches have not returned
since the operation. Local surgeons say
this is the first case of the kind on record.

A Burmese BrIdoe.

1t is stated In the Pioneer Mail tina,
the new road bridge across the Sittane
was opened by the Lieutenant Govern
or of Burma on Nov. s. This is the
largest and most costly bridge in the
province and has involved an outlay OF
over e25,000. 1t consists Of four GEN.
trail spans Of 104 feet each, with land
spans Of IS feet at either end. The
Orders were obtained In England and
put together with pins, bolts and nuts,
no riveting of any kind having been
done on the spot The construction and
maintenance of the bridge and road
will greatly facilitate access from Ran
COON to the hill station OF Lower Bur-
ma, and 1t will now be possible to reach
Thandaung within twelve hours of
leaving Rangoon. Travellers starting
by the evening train will be there for
breakfast next day. This is partly due
to the enterprise shown by the COM
pany, which has instituted a motor car
service, while the action of the gov
eminent has provided the bridge and
road.-Ergineer.

Shade for Poultry.

Poultry suffer greatly If they do not
have plenty of good shade to shield
them from the rays of the sun. The
poultry quarters are too close and Of
ten too filthy to be cool and comfort
able on hot summer days. Let the
birds have good shade where the air
viii be pure and where breezes will
play freely. Fruit bushes or fruit
trees will answer the purpose we'll.
and the birds will help the trees by
fertilizing them and by destroying
many harmful insects.
This subject is brought up at this
time, because trees or bushes can be
set out to advantage now and will
give some shade by the time the poul-
try must have 1t. Bushes that branch
out near the ground will do even more
the poultry resting under the low
hawks from bouncing down on their
victims. Hawks do not like to dive
into secluded spots after anything. and
the pountry testing under the low
branches will be safe from hawks. No
combination is better than poultry and
fruit trees or bushes-any bush larger
than the strawberry.-Progressive

What Broke Him.

Higgins had acquired habit that he
found hard to break. 1t came from
desk work in an Office where there was
little to do and none too much to pay.
He had torn piece of paper from a
tab and rolled and unrolled 1t between
the thumb and forefinger for so many
years that he found 1t hard to think
without this accompaniment. Try as
ne would, he could not break himself
OF the habit, and finally gave up in
despair.
One day, while on The street, a
weighty matter kept troubling him, but
he found 1t impossible to think clear
ly. Unconsciously putting his fingers
into his vest pocket, they came in con-
tact with $40 bill. 1t was all the
money he had left from the last
months salary. Taking out the bill
he rolled and unrolled it, while think
ing out the problem. At the conclusion
he carelessly tore the bill into bits. as
he had always disposed of his roll of
paper, and tossed them into the gut
ter. And that broke him.-Judge.

have clover hay to feed cows, corn
meal may comprise as much as one
third by weight of the total grain feed.
II you have timothy or ordinary mixed

fourth of the grain ration. Horses at
heavy, slow work may have one-half
their grain in the form of corn. Corn
should be used sparingly, If at all, for
