Summer Care Of Horses.

A great many horses are laid
up every summer with sore
shoulders. This can be remedied
in a very large measure with
sense and care.
A good horse collar is the main
part of the harness and it should
be of the very best kind and fit
the animals neck perfectly.
The collar should be kept clean
at all times and the horses
shoulders we'll washed and brush
ed daily.
Much dust and dirt arise in the
fields and on the roads during the
warm season, and this is caught
and held on the moist and sweaty
shoulders and collar, there to
form hard Jumps and ridges.
Every time the collar is put on
the horse it should be examined
for those Jumps and ridges. If
any are found they should be
carefully brushed and rubbed
away.
After each days work, espec-
tally in warm weather, bathe and
clean the shoulders with mix
ture Of warm water, salt and
soda.
Hot water is one of the best
known natural agents for reliev-
ing soreness due to sprains.
bruises and excessive pressure of
the animal body. Salt and soda,
are healing and disinfecting
agents.
A little alum and tannic acid,
the juice from the bark or leaves
of oak or willow tress, will heal
and tougher the skin and should
be applied with warm water. =

Feed the Corn on the Farm.

Keep the farm crops on the
farm and ship the meat and the
butter and the milk and the
cheese" is the common-sense ad-
vice of Secretary Wilson. This
insures soil fertility. Every ton
of corn shipped to market loses
the farm 33 pounds of nitrogen,
IL pounds of phosphoric acid and
z pounds of potash. Figure this
out on the basis of the printed
analyses on the fertilizer bags
and see how much the farm loses
with each corn sale. If fed, 80 to
80 per cent. of these constituents
go into the manure. By the way,
Uncle Jim says to be sure and
haul out and spread your manure
as fast as made.

What's in a Name.

Talking of names, what's in
them? A good lot sometimes.
We knew a girl named Rose once.
She was daughter of old Rose.
and he being little romantic,
christened her Wild. Certainly
Wild Rose is pretty name. But,
alas, the old mgn was not farsee-
ing! She married a man named
Bull.
Then, again, we happen to
know a carpenter named Pier
rotezic Zrnchzizrowskelowski.
Now, whenever a fellow work.
man saws down on a nail this
chap always sings out, What is
it?" He thinks they are calling
him.
Yes, there's good deal in a

Killing in Wayne.

In a fight at Jones mill on Of
ter Creek twelve miles south of

and instantly killed James Tom
Guffey who was coming on to
him with a knife, first had a
pistol which was taken away
from him. Guffey leaves widow
and seven children. Frost's ex-
amining trial was called yester-
day and continued till next Mon
day. His bond was fixed at ST.

The Nitrogen Supply.

At the present rate of use, the
known supply of nitrate of soda
will be exhausted in less than so
years, while, as a matter of fact
the consumption is increasing
steadily and rapidly. It's there
fore safe to say that before 25
year have passed, the supply will
be low, unless new fields are dis
covered, and that the price will
be high. Over a million and a
half tons were used last year.
This is not encouraging for the
young generation of farmers, ex-
cept for the fact that we will al
ways have our clovers, our al
falfa, our cowpeas the great
legllme family and properly
rotated, these will supply the
soil with nitrogen from the in
exhaustible supply in the air.

The Art Of Being Happy.

"Cheeafulness" says Ruskin,
is as natural to the heart of
man in strong health, as glow to
his cheek, and whatever there
is habitual gloom, there must be
either bad air, unwholesame
food, improperly severe labor, or
erring habits of life"
If children were taught that
one of the great life duties is
to unfold the fun-loving side
of their nature, the humorous
side, there would not be so
many suicides, so many unhappy,
discordant, miserable people, so
many failures in the world.
Why shoulden't we develop
the humor faculty, the fun-loving
faculty, just as, much as the
bread earning or any other facul-
ty.
Why should we think it is so
very necessary to spend years in
going to school and college to
develop other meutal faculties,
and yet take practically no pain
whatever to develop the humors
the fun-loving side of our nature.

Treatment For Roup.

Roup is a contagious catarrh
and will, unless immediately
checked, go through the entire
flock. Every affected bird should
be separated from the rest at
once. The swelling on the head
should be opened with a sharp
instrument and the wound treat
ed with an antiseptic. such as
listerine, or one part carbolic
acid to twenty party water. AS
per cent. solution of sulphate of
copper injected into the nostrils,
the cleft of the palate, the eyes
and the wounds made by opening
and swellings is said to be very
good.
Sometimes roupe takes the
form of diphtheria and is more
violent than ordinary roup. Some
times children take if from poul-
try. 1t is very difficult to cure,
and if this disease got into my
own flock | would kill every af-
fected bird and burn it's body.
You will save time and probably
part of your flock by killing all
the diseased birds and burning
them.
Put the rest of the flock in
warm dry quarters, and before
putting them in burn a little sui
phur in the building, first closing
all the openings. Do not put the
birds into the building for at
least five hours after the burning
of the sulphur, during which
time it should be thoroughly ven
tilated. -Ex.

Pushing the Fight.


There is a move on foot
throughout the United States to
put an end to the government
printing envelopes that rightly
belongs to the country shops that
will be strenuously taken up at
the next session of congress. The
government has no right to this
class OF printing. The people
have never voiced their senti-
ments to give to the government
the rights of the people who pay
their money for government
work, and we don't believe there
is any article in the written con-
Stitution to require the govern
ment TO solicit and print business
envelopes for every city and
town in the union. Neither have
the people voted to have this law
passed. Every editor should pro-
claim his rights and encourage
his congressman to put an end to
this iniquity. -Eldorado (Okla. }

Beware of using too much ar

Beware of using too much ar
senic in tree sprays, or of spray
ing too often or of allowing too
much drip to fall on the soil.
Prof. Headden believes that ar
senic sometimes accumulates in

No man ascends above his

Every mans life depends on

No man has any rights that

Women Who Are Envied

Those attractive women who are

eruptions and a wretched complexion.

to respect womanhood, and to

to respect womanhood, and to
fear neither man nor beast.
Father and son were insepara-
BILE; the devotion was beautiful,
and when the seasons came with
their running vines and wealth
of wild flowers, in the evening of
every day the man and boy went
to the little grave in the noun
tains with armsful of plants and
blossoms, and spread them above
the mouldering dust Of wife and
mother.
But just a few weeks ago a
letter came to Tom from Miss
issippi which said: Dear Tom:
Come home; mother is dying,
and she wants to see you."
He had grown a beard, and
time which had brought to him
much of suffering, had changed
his body into that of another
man. He did not believe he
would be recognized. And with
his son he went to the cot of his
dying mother. She saw him, and
while in the agonies of death she
said: "Oh, Tom, am glad you
are here"
These words from the very
lips of death were fatal, for at
the bedside of the dying woman
there was a creature who remem-
bered that a reward had been
offered for Tom Atkins, and be-
fore the dead mother had hardly
became cold he went to town and
informed the officers of the law;
the sheriff and his posse came,
but Tom Atkins and his son de-
fled them to the uttermost. They
looked into the dark eyes of
father and son and saw a mean
ing there as easily understood
as letters of leaping fire, and like
cowed pups before the open jaws
of mighty Mastiffs they skunk
away into the shadows of the
evening, and in their cowed and
cowardly state they called upon
the Governor for the MALTA.
The matilia came, but the SOL
dier boys learned the story of
Tom Atkins life, and, it is said
they helped him to escape.

The Abused Merchant.

Certain it is that there is no
class of man in business so gen.
orally helpful to a community and
so universally abused as the coun-
try merchant.
1t is no wonder that at times
we find him fighting back.
His business life is one of con-
tinuous fighting for his rights
from the time he opens his doors
in the morning till he closes them
at night.
1t is little wonder that we find
him "grouchy" and cross a t
times.
He has to fight with the sales
man to get his goods at a price
which will enable him o sell
them so as to meet competition,
so as to satisfy his customers.
He must be ever on the alert and
watch everything that comes in
to his store to see that only first
class articles are put on his
shelves.
He is continually harassed by
people who want credit, whose
responsibility is not the best and
with whom it would be, oftimes,
a loss to deal. There are numer-
Gus calls on him for charity and
the support of charitable insti-
tutions.
If there is to be a new enter
prise of any kind started, a new
railroad or franchise of any ma
ture or a new manufacturing en-
terprise, the merchant is always
expected to assist by subscrib-
ing for stock which many times
proves worthless.
No matter what cause or con-
dition may arise looking to the
betterment of the condition of
the town, the merchant is the
one on whom the responsibility
of assisting with capital and time
falls.
Your private citizen, your land
owner scarcely takes an interest
in these things. He profits by
it, however, as does every other
resident or farmer near the town,
whose property is enhanced in
value thereby.
Since SO much is expected of
the merchant, since he employs
so many people in the conduct Of
his business. since he is such an
important factor in the upbuild-
of a community, why should he
not receive the patronage and
support of every resident of a
community? Why should the
money of a community be sent
out of that community to sup
port people in a large city?

One of the best foods for little
chicks is sweet milk, either
SKINNED or whole. Sour milk is
also a very satisfactory food, but
should not be alternated with
sweet milk. Feed the birds al
ways with sweet, or else always
use the sour. Otherwise some
disturbance of the digestive or
gans may result.
