No More Hog Cholera.

Every conceivable form of

Even the carcasses Of the dead
hogs were allowed to remain in
the pens of the immunized hogs
sometimes two or three days.
Every opportunity was given

DamDabIe Outrage.

On last Monday morning an or

standing in front Of our temple
of justice, and in that wagon, ~
ing On a few bed clothes and a
mattress, was an old woman over
so years Of age. Upon investi-
cation we found that this old
woman, a few years ago, had d.
vided up her estate, consisting Of
a few thousand dollars, among
some Of her children, and she
had been practically abandoned.
A rain came up and in order to
protect her she was removed to
the sheriff's Office, where she lay
until Tuesday morning, when
she was sent by the County Judge
to place where she could be
cared for. Attic session Of 1906
the Legislature q statute was
passed to cover the punishment
of children who abandoned their
parents in this way, and it ought
to be invoked in this case. A

Fowls Of heavy breed are nearly

Late Hatches.

The latter part Of August, if
cool, is good time to start a fall
hatch. If the weather is hot, it
should be delayed into Septem-
Der. Fall matches depend a
great deal on the weather of the
fall and early winter months. If
the weather is nice and open a
limited number of fall chicks
will thrive and pay for their
trouble and keep. However, if
the weather is rainy and cold in
November and early December,
unless you have brood houses
and give the chicks special care,
the chicks SILVER and 'cheep"
around, will be stunted, and not
worth their keep. A few late
chicks come in handy for home
use and can be raised proftably,
but there are too many ifs" to
make them a profitable market

The new criminal code changes
the criminal practice in, the state to
great extent, and it is a good
drill, even for an old practitioner,
TO familiarize himself with the new
code. This was demonstrated yes
terday when an attorney wanted to
raise the point OF insanity In be-
halfhalf of a man charged with
murder. Judge Webster told the
attorney that insanity was no long
err a defense for murder, but the
attorney, who had been looking up
the law, pointed to the provision
that exempted all crimes COM

of the law from it's operation, and
on this showing the insanity de-

But before we had reached Broad
