A. s. Alexander. veterinary surgeon,
explodes the old idea that a horse can
become "chest-foundered. He says
that such cases are those suffering
from chronic founder (laminitis),
which affects the feet and not the chest.
In outstanding cases of foot lameness
the chest muscles may waste away in
sympathy, and that fact has led to
the "chest founder idea. Such a horse
should be shod with wide-webbed, fiat
bar shoes, put on over dressing Of tar
and oakum. and a thick leather sole.
Then clip off the hair and blister the
hoof heads (coronets) of forefeet with
a mixture of one dram Of biniodide Of
mercury and two ounces of cerate Of
cantharides rubbed in for fifteen min
utes. Wash blister off in forty eight
hours, then apply lard daily. Blister
every three or four weeks.

As the time approaches for removing
young plants from the fats IN the
house or from the hotbed outside, an
extra amount Of airing must be given
to harden them. Plants which have
started indoors or under glass are
more or less tender and Will not be
able to thrive under the rlgor of early
spring planting without treatment
They must become hardened, or accll-
mated, to the new conditions.
At least week before transplanting
remove the sash entirely from the bot
bed during the day and allow abund-
ance Of ventilation at night, except
when heavy frost threatens. This Will
give the plants practically an outside
temperature for the greater part of the
day and they will grow stronger and
harder thereby. At this time also less
watering should be given to check
growth and make the plants more re-
sistant to the cold. All plants can en-
dure lower degree Of temperature I'M
der dry than under moist conditions.
Most seedlings are transplanted d.
rect from the fiat or hotbed to the open
garden when they have attained a
height Of from four to six inches or
more. When facilities are at hand a
better way Is to first transplant them
to a cold frame, which is the same as
hotbed without the heat. In the cold
frames they become accustomed to low
er temperature and are still protected
from frost of nights and on cold days.
A still better way Is to transplant the
young plants at the appearance Of
their second or third set Of true leaves
to two inch flower pots.

Hog Cholera,

The Kansas experiment station has
carried out an extensive series Of ex-
periments along the line of hog chol-
era and its prevention. The method
Of rendering hogs immune to the dis
ease was by vaccination. A virus was
introduced into the system which re-
acted upon possible contagion, thus
protecting the animal against the dis
ease for a period Of several months.
The experiment showed that through
this process the successfully vaccinated
hog is immuniZed and can be kept with
no risk of infection for a period long
enough to fatten and prepare for mar

PRAIRIE DOGS TO BE POISONED.
Coated Wheat Is to lie Fed to Enemy
of Farmers In the West.

Poisoned wheat is to be used as bait to
kill off the prairie dogs, the stockmens
enemy, that now infest Arizona and New
Mexico and have become a menace to the
forest ranges there. On ranch lands prai-
rie dogs have been destructive to wheat,
grain. potatoes and sugar beets; while
on grazing lands they destroy so much
grass that the grazing capacity of the
land is reduced to % per cent. Last
spring successful campaign was waged
against the prairie dog and this year it
will be conducted on a larger scale. The
poison is prepared by coating the wheat
with preparation of strychnine. cyanide
of potassium. anise oil and molasses.

TAKEN IN HER
EIGHTY Y-THIRD YEAR
GRANDMOTHER JONES OF CHARTER OAK
PASSES AWAY
A RESIDENT HERE SINCE 1877
A Woman Of Most Honorable Memory Who
With Her Husband Was Pioaeer Of
Charter Oak Twp.
Special Correspondence

Last Wednesday morning at an
early hour the soul of Mrs. Lydia H.
Jones passed from the suffering body
to the great beyond. Grandmother
Jones had been suffering several
months from paralysis and she con-
tinued to grow weaker and weaker
until her frail body could no longer
keep up the struggle. She was cared
for. during her sickness by Miss Mel.
lie McGsath. who did everything she
could to make her patients last days
as comfortable as possible.
Lydia Hannah Wheeland was born in
Center county Penn. on Oct. 5. 1926.
On February IL, 1874. she was
married to E. M. Jones. They cele-
brated their golden wedding in Chart.
er Oak in 1894 as many of the old
settlers here will remember. Since
the death of her husband on May IA,
1903. she has made her home with
her Son. Scott, who came from the
south to take charge of the old home
Just west of Charter Oak. Mr.. ane

tificate. All the members of the
board were democrats.
The mistake which has had such
serious consequences for the saloons
Of the county was an easy one to make
perhaps. nevertheless that the board
should have been more careful is the
general feeling of the men who are
now forced out of business, temporar-
lily at least.
The mistake doubtless arose in this
way. Take Charter Oak for instance,
the entire township votes in the city.
No separate list is or was made as to
whether voters reside in the town or
outside. Thus when the petition was
canvassed the board easily overlooked
the third requirement and failed to
certifv that fifty percent Of the voters
Of Charter Oak town signed the petit
tion. This error was made in every
town in the county except in Denison
where the lists were separate and
were thus certified.
Sawyer Of Sioux City and Odie of
Des Moines. attorneys of the Anti
Saloon League were the men who dis
covered the discrepancy. They called
the matter to the attention Of the
County Attorney and after consider
able study and research he decided
that the point was we'll taken. He
accordingly advised the twenty.six
saloon keepers outside Of Denison
that they better close their places of
business in order to avoid prosecutions
and big attorneys fees.
The saloon men have hardly had
time to know what hos hit them. but
there is no question but that they will
take immediate steps to secure a new
petition. This brings the question
sharply and suddenly to an issu. in
this county. Only those who voted
at the last general election are eligi.
BILE to sign the petition and Wet OF
Dry is to be the burning issue in the
county from now on.
We understand that the saloon mer
have already planned their work Of
getting a new petition. Canvasserl
will be sent cut into every precinc,
and it is expected to have new pc
tition ready within ten days. Tn,
board of supervisors wiu probably b
urged to rush asatters 80 that the nev
petition will be effective July 1st
If it is not there is some question a
to whether the new law limiting th,
number of saloons would not be opera
tive.

The law requires that the board of

Of consent and shall certify: First
that it contains the names of sixty

names Of fifty percent of the voters
of the township in which the saloon
is located and Third. that it contains
the names Of fifty percent of the

which the saloon is located. It was
this third and last provision which the
board Of supervisors failed to observe
