Husbands Murder.

Chippewa Falls.-Mrs. Annie Sun
derland, charged with shooting and
killing her husband. AylesWorth Sun
derland, in this city on the night OF
May IA, 1910, was found guilty after
the jury had been out four and one
half hours. The woman throughout
the trial displayed no emotion. A jury
composed of farmers and business
men was quickly secured. About fiji
teen witnesses testified for the state
as to the tragedy and it's details.
While it showed that the prisoner had
threatened the life of her husband at
times, yet it's case was not strong as
to premeditated crime.
Mrs. Sunderland told of a sensation
al scene that occurred the night Of
the murder. The man and wife had
not lived in the same room for three
years; but that night the husband
came up stairs and assaulted her,
throwing her out of bed, beating her
and threatening to kill her. At the
height of the fracas she said she took
the gun from her bed and shot him.
Then she summoned medical aid and
made her fight from the city to the
woods, being captured two days after.

BLOAT CAUSED BY ALFALFA
Sudden Change to Rank, Met Green
Feed Causes Trouble In Animals
Some Good Remedies.

CBy DIR. A. S. ALEXANDER, v. s.
This accident will be much less apt
to happen If the animal is fully fed
on dry hay before turning on clover
or alfalfa for the first time.
Also wait until the dew or rain
dries off and leave the animals on the
green feed for but a short time at
first.
Gradually as they become accus-
toned to the food, they may be left
for a longer time and soon can remain
on the pasture all of the time provid-
ed they have plenty of fresh water at
all times and free access to rock salt
or an ample supply or salt several
times week.
1t is the sudden change to rank,
wet green feed that causes bloat and
the trouble is most apt to come on
after a wet spell, followed by hot,
muggy weather during which molds
and fungi are most apt to grow upon
clover and alfalfa.
For cattle it is good plan to allow
free access to mixture Of equal parts
of salt and slaked lime as q preVenta-
tive.
If a sheep is seen to be bloated at
once give half a pint Of new milk
fresh from the cow and repeat in half
an hour. if necessary. Often one dose
of milk proves sufficient.
Tfncture of Colchicum seeds, fiji
teen to twenty drops at dose in a
little water given every twenty to
thirty minutes is also an effective rem
DIV for bloat Of sheep; or give a
tablespoonful of either aromatic spir-
it's of ammonia or turpentine in half
a pint Of milk.
Rectal injections or soapy, warm
water and glycerine also are useful.
In bloat of cattle give two ounces of
turpentine in a pint Of raw linseed
oil; or four ounces of hyposulphite Of
soda, an ounce of sulphuric ether and
a dram each Of fluid extract Of nux
yomica and calabar bean in a pint of
water.
If nothing else Is at hand give a
pint of whisky in water to make one
quart, adding tablespoonful of es-
sence of ginger. Baking soda should
not be given.

Water for the Cow.

The quantity of water required by q
cow must be enormous when the cow
yields largely. Some COWS have given
as much as so quarts of milk a day,
and, as milk is largely composed Of
water, and water is also used by the
animal for other purposes than that Of
entering into the composition Of milk,
some estimate may be made Of the
amount she may require. Water is
in all kinds of foods, however, espe-
cially in grass and green materials,
but it is at all times necessary that
a bountiful supply be provided.

GATES FOR PANAMA

The thousands of individual pieces
numbered and fitted to go together
as easily as children's blocks, will be
shipped by steamer via Baltimore and
with them will go over 400 skilled
structural steel builders to set them
up. The advance guard of experts
leaves here in December and the first
work will probably begin early in
1911. It will take three years to com
plete the job.
The location of the 46 pairs of gates
will be: Twenty at the Gatun dam on
the Pacific side, IL at Pedro Miguel
and II at Miratlores, near the Atlantic
entrance. The gates are designed to
hold back water Ala feet deep in a
channel 40 feet wide, which means
a pressure Of a million pounds.
Engineers assert that even if a ire
mendous explosion or earthquake
should damage or destroy one or more
sets of gates, no great disaster would
ensue, for all locks are to be made in
duplicate to accommodate traffic in
both directions at once, and the
wreckage of one set of locks would
only necessitate the diversion of COM
merce into another set. But really
violent earthquakes have not occurred
in the Panama region for more than
two centuries, and it would require a
mighty siege for an enemy to destroy
the locks.
Each lock will be ample for a ship
SO per cent larger than any vessel
now afioat, and it has been estimated
that as many as 100 ocean ships may
be handled in q single day.
