FOOT ROT IN SHEEP.
How This Disease Can BE Treated
Most EffectiveIy

How This Disease Can BE Treated
Most Effectively.
Foot rot originates only in wet land
or on ground which is not dry and
where sheep hoofs are liable to crack
from overgrowth and softening by ex-
cessive moisture. This malady may
also be communicated to sound
flock by the introduction of one sheep
having the disease. The sheep pen and
yard should be composed Of hard, dry,
well beaten clay. The droppings in the
pen must not be allowed to ferment, as
the heat in the manure will soften the
feet, and when the sheep are turned
out in the spring on damp sod they are
liable to have an attack of this trouble
some disease.
If the disease Is taken in its early
stages the cure is simple and sure, says
a writer in the Baltimore American.
Clean the hoofs by letting them run In
damp grass for an hour or two. then

most money. Bays and browns always
sell for their full value. Most general
ly the weighty draft geldings Of that
color show up with more or less white
about the face and feet showing there
by most frequently British extrac-
ton. There are plenty of bays and
browns, too, that show no white and
yet most unmistakable French or Bel
gian ancestry. Considering the large
number of black Percheron stations
which have been doing service for the
past fifteen years In this country, 1t is
strange that not more black geldings
reach the market. When one scans
the prize list of the eight internation-
ais which have been held, one cannot
fail to be astounded at the extremely
small percentage of blacks which have
won. That percentage is not much
increased when one comes to inspect
the entry lists, and 1t is open to doubt
If the most of the blacks shown have
not belonged to the British breeds and
not to those of continental Europe. As
general thing, however, the trade
has come rather to divide the supply
of big drafters into Percherons and
Clydes, the former including such
grade Belglans as are on the market
and the latter, of course, the get of
Shire horses. The dealer does not
bother his head much with strict def
nitions. One still often hears of Nor
mans In the trade, though that is en-
tirely an erroneous term and signifies

Success With Sheep.

An Ontario breeder says: I think 1t
will pay any farmer to have a few
sheep, as l have never experienced a
year when they have not paid me. l
prefer Cotswolds because they are
strong, hardy sheep, good wool and fair
mutton. The last few years we could
not get enough good rams to meet the
demand of the ranchmen who want
them to cross on the finer bred ewes
so as to produce more wool and NUT
ton. l would not advise keeping over
twenty breeding ewes on hundred
acre farm. If the farm is low and
inclined to be wet, ten will be plenty.
would not advise beginner to buy
show sheep or high priced animals.
Buy from a reliable firm and get a few
ewes at reasonable prices. and with
good care you will meet success.

Protecting The Forests.

The man who cannot see that
the National Forest Service is
doing a great work for this
country in the protection and
preservation of our forests is in
deed a queer being. Not only is
the timber in the forest reserves
safe from timber thieves
thieves is the word, not syn
dicates but it is protected from
fire, and of late years there has
been practically no loss from fire
on the government forest re-
serves. The men of the forest
service have been true to their
trust. They have protected from
fire the timber put in their care
by the people. They have shown
that forest fires can be prevent
ed in every part of this country
where the national reserves are
located. They have shown that
in a properly managed timber
plot a fire can be checked and
put out after it has once started.
Timber is becoming every year
more scarce and more in demand.
The time has passed when the
public can afford to tolerate de-
vastation of the forests. Every
tree that stands today must be
preserved for use. The forest
service is saving the trees on
national forest reserves for actu-
al use. 1t has practically elimi-
mated fire loss on it's reserves.
But it has done more than this
work of merely saving timber
for legitimate use. 1t has begun
to reforest denuded areas and
people who have the welfare of
our country at heart will hope
and pray that under the Taft adj
ministration the national govern
ment will give the question of
forest preservation the attention
it deserves. -Mountaineer.

extensive establishment having several
kilns. The most satisfactory kiln.
all things considered, Is about twen-
ty feet square. This is convenient size
to all, 30 far as the preparation of the
fruit Is concerned. The heat can be well
regulated, made sufficiently intense for
the purpose desired and evenly dis

the construction Of evaporators of this
type.
"a kiln consists essentially Of floor
made of stats and placed over fur
mace room or over system Of steam
pipes. The door is usually built from
ten to twelve feet above the floor of
the furnace room. Provision should
be made for regulating the heat by
means of small openings at the base OF
the walls communicating with the out
side. These can be opened or closed
as desired. The inflow of cold air can
thus be regulated. Such control is
especially desirable in windy weather

Killing At Troy.

An innocent bit of Irritation
resulted in a killing at Troy on
Wednesday night of last week
and Tilden Schumacher, a man
with wife and two children, is
now in Jail awaiting trial for
murder. 1t seems that Walter
DriscolI, a young man about 20
years of age, started a mild fir
tation with the Compton girls
during a play at Troy and said
something about taking them
home. He was later turned
down by the girls who started
home with Schumacher, who re-
sided near their home. Driscoll
and a couple companions walked
down town behind them and
Driscoll, overhearing some re-
marks, asked Schumacher if he
was talking about MN. Scnu-
maker stopped and when Driscoll
came up he was stabbed in the
abdomen with a pocket knife.
Driscol1 ran for a drug store and
fell as he reached the door. He
died the next morning.
The queer part of the affair is
that all witnesses claim there
was no provocation for the at
tack. Both men stood well in
the community, Schumacher hav.
ing resided there for severa
years. He was formerly sol
der in the Philippines.

Atlanta a ereat Mule Point.

G. NJ. Rommel in a summary Of the
mule trade says: Atlanta is coming to
be one Of the great mule distributing
points of the south and is now the
greatest one In the southeast. No doubt
South Carolina farmers get many OF
their mules from Atlanta, which were
1rst sold on markets two or three times
as far from Atlanta as Columbia
With the development Of Atlanta as a
mule market a golden opportunity ex-
lists for any one brave enough to break
away from custom and act as pioneer
in mule raising in South Carolina and
the southeast.

No Case Against Woodring.

The trial of ]. L. Woodring, OF
this place, who was arrested re-
Gently by E. E. Van Vert for
introducing liquor on the reser-
walton, was heard late last week
at Moscow and was dismissed.
When arrested Woodring was
going to the B. H. Oliver farm
northeast of town to do some
carpenter work and had a bottle
of whiskey in his pocket for his
own personal use. The grand
jury held that Woodring was not
engaging in liquor traffic on the
reservation and returned a ver-
dict finding the charge mot a

same manner, as were also sew

Mrs. Bachus No Murderer.

The case against Nancy Bach
us, charged with the murder of
her husband at their home near
Clifford early last fall, was heard
last week at Lewiston and the
jury returned a verdict of mot
guilty" after being out only 26
minutes Monday. The case has
attracted widespread attention
because of its peculiar features.
Mr.. Bachus, the murdered man,
was found lying dead and partly
burned near the ruins of his
house last fall. The house had
been consumed by fire, which
Mrs. Bachus claims was started
by the overturning of a lamp.
When the fire started Mrs. Bach
us and little child run to the
house of neighbor while the
husband tried to save some of
the household goods from the
flames. He was found later by
neighbors with a bullet wound
in his head and wounds on his
chest made with some blunt in
strument. Mrs. Bachus told
conflicting tales of the fire, which
caused her arrest and also led to
the arrest of a barber at Reubens,
who later proved an alibi and
was released. The decision of
the court clears Mrs. i. Bachus
from the charge of numbering
her husband and it is more than
probable that the real murderer
will never be located. Mrs.
Bachus' maiden name was Luper
and she formerly resided near
Cotton, Wash.
