SOME VERY COMMON
CAUSES OF COLO
BY S. G. Miller.

When farm horse is working hard
It does no. pay to let him eat grass
when It Is green. He will thrive, work
better and remain healthier and more
enduring IL fed hard feed during
/ the busy season. The soft. washy.
green grass IL palatable OF cou: Sc. but
1t makes the horse oft and fiabby,
keeps the bowels too loose and is apt
to induce collie.
II the horse has no work to do he
may go on pasture right along and
have little grain and when his work is
done in late summer he may enjoy the
fall pasture made green again by rains.
The pasture also Is good place or
the brood mare as 1t promotes flow
OF milk
We find that severe attacks OF collie
often are caused by allowing the hot.
tired horse to eat grass at the road
side when he has made q long trip to
town.
The trouble. too. Is prone to come
on when horses are suddenly fed new
hay or new oats. Both new hay and
new oats should be fed in small guam
titles gradually at first, and along
with old hay and oats until the horses
become accustomed to the change.
Either the new feed is SO palatable
that the horse cats too much of It..
or 1t contains some ferment that sets
up indigestion and formation of gas.
Water very seldom causes collie.
Nature intends horses to have all OF
It they want. at any and all times
and so provided 1t does no harm. We
u: ay cause trouble by Withholding
drinking water for long periods Of
time and then forcing the hot. tired
horses to dri too much Of 1t at noon
and especially just after eating grain.
Allow the work horse adequate
supplies Of cool. pure water often
when he Is at work and he never will
take too much Of It or suffer i'll effects
from drinking. Indeed the water so
given will be likely to prevent sickness
and always is appreciated and bene-
fetal.
In addition to making change Of
food gradually It also is well to very
gradually increase the amount Of food.
Allow free access to rock self and do
not give any kind Of condition pow
ders or stock food.
II an attack Of collie comes on the
followfn. mixture. given as one dose,
usually Will be found effectual: Tur-
pentine, one ounce; fluid extract OF
cannabis indica, one-hnlf ounce: raw
li--seed oil, one pint. Repeat in half
to one hour II found necessary. 4

MAKES THE BULL RUN THE
SEPARATOR.

At the Springfield Illinois State Fair
last year we asked woman who was
watching the work in the dairy sec
ton what power she used to run her
separator. 1--WE make the bull do the
work." she replied. We have tread
mill and as our bull is gentle and kind
we Just have him step along till the
work Is done. 1t Is good for him be-
cause it gives him good exercise. The
power is even because he is as steady
as an engine. We hand him bite
Of something good to eat occasionally
and he is satisfied. We milk twenty
cows and the separator takes care OF
all the milk In about half an hour. but
It would be a long and hard job with q

Petition Withdrawn.

When court convened last Tuesday to
take up the petition presented last court
day by the attorneys for the VETS, to see
if the men who had signed it were legal
voters, the attorneys for the DRYs filed
a petition with the names of 100 men
on it who had signed the petition asking
for on election on the whiskey question,
asking that their names be stricken from
the original petition. This number
added to the 20 who had already
taken their names off before the County
Clerk, made total of 1875, which num-
Der deducted from the 406 on the origi-
nal petition, left only 271, which brought
the number below 297, which is the
number required in order to call an G.
lection. The attorneys for the VETS
asked the Court to allow them little
time to see those who had taken their
names off, and see if they wouldn't
come back the original petition, but
this the Court refused TO do, because of
the fact that limit had to be set some
time as to how often man might change
his mind, and as each side had had one
chance, Judge Shackelford thought it
nothing but fair to refuse to allow any
further changing, and seeing that they
were defeated the attorneys for the VETS
withdrew the petition. Although de
feated this time, they have not given up
and are circulating another petition,

We notice that movement is on foot
TO pool the wheat crop of Kentucky.
We have been afraid from the beginning
that the pooling of various farm pro-
ducts would at some time work hard
ship upon the masses. We have been
in favor of all legitimate efforts that have
been, made to pool the tobacco of the
state, because tobacco is luxury, but
when it comes to pooling the products
out of which necessities are made, we
protect. We are opposed TO a trnst in
any form, whether it be one formed to
control the price of raw material or
of the finished goods, and a trust of any
character should be dissolved While
we rejoice to see the farmers prosperous
and are willing that they get every cent
possible for what they produce, yet we
feel that they ought to be satisfied with
the prices they are receiving. With
hogs bringing 5000 hu ndred, cattle

citizen should be ''To live and let live, :"
but TO organize and make the poor,

of life than they are paying today, would
be a great wrong and should be sum-
marilY delt with, if undertaken.
