Strength of Rome.

The effect of food on the strength
Of bone in hogs has lately been dem
onstrated by experiments at the Ne
braska station, and 1t was shown that
there is very marked increase in
the strength of bone when tankage or
ground bone is fed to pigs in addition
to corn. In determining the strength
of bones, the two principal bones in
each leg of each animal were removed
and broken in a machine. There were
four pigs fed in each lot, making the
figures given. the average of the
breaking of thirty-two bones in each
lot. The average breaking strength
per 100 pounds, live weight of hogs
after twenty-five weeks feeding was
as follows: Lot /, corn, 325 pounds;
lot 2, corn and shorts, 396 pounds;
lot 8, corn and skim milk, 500
pounds; lot 4, corn and tankage, $50
pounds; lot 5, corn and ground bone,
6S1 pounds.-Weekly Witness.

Crude Oil For Mango and Lice.

Some experiments have been con-
Quoted under the direction of the Bu-
reau of Animal Industry with a view
to ascertaining the value of crude oil
tor removing mango and lice from
cattle. Dipping was found very eff
fective, but some loss of animals fol-
lowed, which was partly accounted
for by the late season at which they
we're dipped. The experiment was
conducted in Colorado, and toward
the approach of winter. 1t was found
that the insects were not only effect
lively removed, but that the animals
carried the disinfectant with them,
and thus they were protected for
some time from any danger of rein
lection. In some instances where
the skin was scabby, the larger pro-
portion of the hair came off, but soon
began to grow again.
BY this remedy it is reasonable to
hope that this exceedingly trouble
some disease could be removed from
the Western ranges. 1t is one of the
most disagreeable and costly diseases
that the prairie farmer must contend
with. The treatment of the dipped
animals, however, is sometimes lit
tie over harsh. 1t may be that 1t will
be found practicable to so dilute the
preparation that it can be used for
dipping without any danger and still
prove just as effective. 1t is safe to
assume. however, that crude oil could
be used with great advantage by ap-
plying it to animals in the farmers
yards when these are affected. If ap-
piled with brush or sprayer, just
enough could be put on to effect the
desired results without using so much
as to cause the hair to fall out. This
would, of course, take some expert
ence to learn how to apply it, but the
fact that it seems to prove an effect
i've remedy should commend it to the
attention of our farmers in the East
and South, or any others whose stock
are afflicted with either mango or lice.

mons in transit. The plaintiff recent.

sons: first, he had filled one pulpit
for 20 years and he feared his people
might be getting tired of him. sec
ond, he had preserved all his old SER
mons and would be able to read them
to his new congregation, thereby saw
ing much intellectual exertion. So
he agreed to go to the other field of
labor, packed up his goods, including
the precious barrel of sermons, and
departed When his freight arrived
at his new home, the sermons were
missing. While no amount of money
will wholly compensate him for his
loss, he believes the railroad should
be made to pay for its carelessness.

w. NJ. Kelly in Farm and Home. His
disposition toward you will be just
what you make it yourself. Treat
him kindly, but with firmness. He
is sure to remember any kindness,
and surer to remember any meanness
that you may do to him, and will
watch his chance to get even with
you.
Allow him but one service and then
lead him to his stall, and he will soon
learn what is wanted of him, and will
readily take up with the program.
Well managed and properly fed, he
will live to be eight or ten years old
and get good calves. A well cared
for bull instead of being a nuisance
and disgrace will be an object of ad-
miration and credit to your herd

TAFT SENDS WORD

exchanged between him and Senator

to the constitutional difficulty which has
arisen in connection with Senator Knox s
eligibility for place in Judge Taft's cab

Senator Knox wired Judge Taft, care
New Orleans custom house, as follows:
"A bill has been introduced in the SEN
ate to remove the constitutional bar to
my eligibility to the cabinet by repeating
the act providing for an increase in sal
airy for the secretary of state. 1 am in no
way promoting or having anything to do

TT is a matter for you as the APP
pointive power to first determine whether
the proposed action is desirable or would
be effective. Our minds should be free
from all doubt concerning the legality and
propriety of the proposed plan before ac-
quiescing in it. If you have anv reason
for not approving what is being done, 1t
should be announced, otherwise an injus-
tice may be done whoever may be ap-
pointed P. c. KNOX
Judge Taft today sent in reply the fol-
lowing:
ct sincerely hope that the bill repeating
the increase in salary for the secretary of
state will pass. have no doubt that that
will remove all the difficulties of the sit
uation in the light of its purpose. should
regard your ineligibility at this time as
great public misfortune, and it would be
a personal disappointment to me too great

'"W II TAFT"
House leaders favorable to the adop-
zion of the senate bill, reducing the
salary OF the secretary of state to
$4,000 a year, in order to make Senator
Knox eligible for the position, have
evolved a scheme to avoid sending the
bill to the house committee on ju-
dietary, which is said to be opposed to
the measure.
The bill was not offered to a COM
mittee when the house met today and in
explanation it leaked out that the com
mittee on the election of president and
vice president intended to report
