FOR JACK SORES.
Remedy of Veterinarian That Should
Give Good Results.

One of the most persistent inquiries
Is for Il jack sore cure. This is prob
ably the case because such sore is
one of the most persistent of sores.
We have never seen any real satisfac-
tory explanation of the fact that sores
almost invariably appear on the legs
of jacks and that once there are very
apt to remain despite all manner of
treatment. writes a veterinarian in the
Breeders Gazette of Chicago. Now and
again some handler of jacks believes
he has found specific and passes the
word around. only to find that what
cures in one case will not cure in an
other apparently similar case.
These sores are very annoying, es-
pecially in fly time. and many han
dler has been willing to pay Il round
them We do not know that we can
furnish such treatment. but we sub
NIT for trial prescription which has
been reliably represented as about as
sure cure as medicine affords for
any ailment. Here it is:
Boracic acid, calomel. subnitrate Of bis
muth, Of each four drains; iodoform, one
DRAM carbolc acid forty drops: vaseline.
enough to make three ounces Mix and
make an ointment.
This ought to be specific, as nearly
all of its ingredients are specifics! 1t
Is somewhat Of shotgun prescrip-
ton" Each of its ingredients is in
much favor with physicians as skin
remedy, and 1t would seem that II one
failed to act the others should. This
ointment should give excellent results
in general use for old sores or fresh
cuts. even if it does not cure jack
sores. 1t comes so highly recommend
ed that we would surely give it a trial
on jack sores.

To Quiet Re stless Calves.

The old time English farmers had a
custom of keeping veal calves quiet
when milk was scarce. In such case
balls We're made from wheat -four with
sufficient gin to form it into paste.
Ghe balls were about the size OF a
walnut and were given to the calves a
quarter Of an hour after each meal.
Instead of bawling and frctting the
calf would lie quiet and sleep most Of
the time. This plan, says Hoards Dali
ryman, might be followed with a
nervous, restless calf with profit.

Shade For hoqs.

II hogs are to thrive In pasture,
shade must be provided. Some farm
ers cut away every vista Of shade.
The hog loves a cool. damp shade.
where he can lie and snooze during
the heat of the day. If left in pas
ture with no shade he will suffer. Ex-
perience of prominent breeders shows,
however, that q mud wallow is by no
means necessary. If the hog cannot
have a clean bath. no bath is prefer
able. but he is child of the soil and
should have cool. moist ground to lie
upon.

For Lice on Hoos.

A swine breeder says that good
thing to do in the hog lot is to put
down some short posts. around which
some old tow sacks are fastened. Sat
urato these thoroughly every once in
awhile with kerosene. and when the
hogs rub up against the posts to
scratch the oil will help to keep them
free from lice.

require great deal of labor, and
expenses, but if successful, will
bring result that our people can

To accomplish this work tho

ing that every business. trade or

he be taxed his monthly fees which
will, we believe not exceed fifty
cents. Those who will refuse to
pay this small contribution, will
be taken off the list of member
ship.
We trust, however, that every
one of our citizens will understand
the great benefit to be derived
from the canal connecting the
Teche and the swamp lakes and
will give strong assistance to the

No Rhyme For ripperary.

A poet once jumped to the conclusion that there was no rhyme to Tipperary and said so, whereupon an indignant Irishman, who chanced also to be bit Of versifer, bounced upon him and poked fun at him in lengthy poem. every other line of which rhymed or was supposed to rhyme with the place in question. Thus:
 A bard there was In sad quandary
 To find rhyme for Tipperary.
 Long labored he through January,
 Yet found no rhyme for Tipperary: Tofled every day in February,
 But toiled in vain for Tipperary;
 Searched Hebrew text and commentary, But searched in vain for Tipperary.
 And so on through many scores of stanzas, ending up with:
 He paced about his aviary,
 Burnt in despair his dictionary,
 Blew up sky high his secretary,
 And then in wrath and anger sware he There was no rhyme for Tipperary.

The British War office employs a considerable number of lady 'typists'' and has been greatly inconvenienced by the number and frequency of ap- plications for "sick leave.'' An inves- tigation of causes has led to sundry warnings and recommendations. The lady "typists" are warned against ex- cessive tea drinking, short sleeves and transparent lace fronts. As the Eng fish people are said to be remarkably addicted to tea drinking, the first part of the warning may be warranted. Ger tainly if the same fashions exist there as here, the warning is fully warrant ed. The warning is coupled with a recommendation intended to prevent colds, headaches, etc, and it is that cereals, fruits and vegetables be eat en instead of much meat. Presumably both warning and recommendation are based upon the advice of skilled medi- cal practitioners.

AIRING FOR THE BIG TRUSTS

Inc tariff bill has passed the House and fs now in the hands of the Senate which will probably change it out of 11l selnblance of it's original form. As pnoeed by the House, 1t makes petro- 4o1im crude or refined, free of duty ] bo< leaves products therefrom under a 2 per cent. duty: the Senate is expect soG to restore or increase the duty on Detro1elzm, probably with a view to a z06mpromise in conference committee. mere Is little if any doubt that Stand 1akd Oil will be acceptab1y cared for.
 Inc Senate substitute bill which is U<60t1c3Ily completed but not yet re- pdG<ed. will reject the House provision makinE hides free, in deference to the rlshes of the Beef Trust. It is not 5nnptobable that the measure will also xo6tore the duties on wood pulp, in def &fonce to the demands of the Paper
 xu6t Quite probably, the wishes of fnts Steel Trust will also be met. To f6xer up these concessions to the big lE116es, there will be a number of re- 06ot1ons in the duties on small articles ca greAt stress will be Ibid upon these 0oncess1ons to consumers. Senator AL dx1ch and his Republican colleagues on t15 Bmance committee are much more ,6t11leId in tarin juggiery than are the
 Isz1bsrs of the wave and Means com- zn1ftsA
 1T js a safe prediction that when the conInfoted bin is sent to the President, & M be as highly protective, if not s6ro Dos than the present tariff, in all 11i{porfant schedules. and the reduc- sf1ons in comparatively unimportant dufies VIII be made to show up large. Certainly, the big trusts will be cared fer very kindly.

G1a..e. and the Eye.,

Every one knows that in using a field glass it is necessary to adjust it to proper focus. Suppose that you put one of the tubes at your focus and the other tube at a focus that suited some one else and then you looked through both tubes. You would have more or less blurred vision. and if you kept on looking the chances are that you would feel giddy and get a headache. Now. the two eyes are SUD- posed to have an equal natural focus, and when by any chance that focus is unequal headache results. The rem edy Is a pair of glasses or a single glass to make the eyes equal in power.

BOTH CHILDREN CURED
 BY FAMOUS REMEDIES

For several years my husband was were living on the edge of the desert at an elevation of nearly five thousand feet. Every one in that high and dry atmosphere has more or less trouble with dandruf and my daughter's scalp became so encrusted with it that was alarmed for fear she would lose all her spending between five and six dollars for various remedies, in desperation | bought 9 cake of Cuticura Soap and a box of Cuticura Ointment. After rub ping the Cuticura Ointment thoroughly into the roots of the hair, I gently combed the crust of dandruff free from the scalp, and then gave her head a thorough shampoo with the Cuticura Soap. This left the scalp beautifully clean and free from dandruff, and after the hair was dry, I again rubbed the Cuticura Ointment, this time sparingly, into the roots, and I am happy to say that the Cuticura Remedies were a complete success. My troubles with dandruf were over, although for long time afterward I used the Cuticura ointment as at first, after shampooing, which kept the scalp and roots of the han hair moist. I have used successfully the Cuticura Remedies for so-called 'milk-crust' on baby's head, and have never found anything to equal them.

Chronic seekers of the "loaves and dshes,s who really reside in Washing ton in order to be constantly on hand af the dispensing centre and who still claim residence in their home states but visit them only to vote at impor- tant elections, will be debarred from petitions in the census service if the bill reported to the Senate last week, becUxnes a law. Under that measure, they must have been actually domicil- -ed In their respective states for a year before they can secure census posi- ffo1s. This will tend to check the growth of a permanent office-seeking clement in Washington.
