The difference in the handling
of two colts may make several
hundreds of dollars difference
when they are offered for sale.
Before turning the young hor-
ses and colts to pasture, have the
teeth of each one examined by a
competent veterinary surgeon.
Defective teeth may retard the
growth and!development of colt,
causing a loss.
Driving on one rein is usually
caused by sharp tooth or teeth
Don't yank or whip the horse,
but find the cause. 1t may be a |
sharp tooth or the harness may |
be ill-titting.
Some men whip their horses
because they are in a bad frame
of mind themselves.
The COWS. Should not be driven
faster than walk while on the
way to the place of milking or
feeding.
Give the calves clean lock of
bright clover or mixed hay eve
ry day. You will be surprised
how soon they will begin toeat it.
The spring calves should be
kept in roomy box stalls the first
summer, so they can be protect
ed from the scalding sun and bo-
thering flies.
When the calf is about month
old, separator milk can be given
with faxseed jelly added. Be-
gin with about two tablespoon
fuls and increase toa cupful.
This is the month when cows
go to pasture through a large
part of the country. Give them
a good start. Keep them in a
good heart till they have really :
made the change from hay to
grass. 1t will pay.

Hints for Stock Owners.

Dock the lambs early that are
to be kept in the flock.
The flock should be turned to
pasture early, while there is a
short bite, but leave them out
only short time at first.
The change from dry feeding
to pasture should be made very
gradually.
Sudden changes ! cause indi-
gestion and scours.

The most severe cold will be brok-
Ell, and all grippe misery ended after
taking dose Of Pape's Cold Com
pound every two hours until three con-
secutive doses are taken.
You will distinctly feel all the dis
agreeable symptoms leaving after the
very first dose.
The most miserable neuralgia pains,
headache, dullness, head and nose
stuffed up, feverishness, sneezing, run
ming at the nose, sore throat, mucous

Pape's Cold Compound is the result
of three years research at a cost OF
more than fifty thousand dollars, and
contains no quinine, which We have
conclusively demonstrated is not ef-
fective in the treatment of colds or
grippe.
Take this harmless compound as
directed, with the knowledge that
there is no other medicine, made any
where else in the world, which will
cure your cold or end grippe misery
as promptly and without any other as

GOT $32, 1000 IN COIN
FROM HIDDEN GRAVE

LAUREL. Del, July 9.-Asbury
Hammond has dug $4,000 in gold
and silver coin out of a grave on his
farm in the last week, and all his
neighbors are busy ploughing over
their own fields in hope of similar
windfall. The local bank has taken
the money and given Hammond full
credit for it, so there can be no
question Of the value of the find.
Hammond was scrub farmer,
whose land barely supported him.
This sudden access of fortune
came when his plow point struck
brick vault in sandy soil. He got
a pick and opened the vault. As
soon as he recovered from the hor-
ror of seeing a skeleton there he
went inside. A bag of coin lay at
the skeletons head and another
at the feet. One of them contained
Spanish and American gold and sill
yer worth $4,000, and similar con-
tents in the other were worth
$4,000. The coin looked new, al
though the latest date on any of it
was 1921.
Hammond at first took only one
bag to the bank. When he appeared
with the second the news Of his
luck had spread and all his friends
wanted to hear about it. Since then
hundreds of people have gone out to
his farm to look at the grave.

Firms Getting Alcohol From the
Old Whiskey Barrels Can't Pay
Full Revenue Tax.

WASHINGTON, July 9-Commis-
sioner of Internal Revenue Royal
e. Cabell has put the question of
how to soak" the soakers for the
tax on the alcohol they soak from
old whiskey barrels up to Secre-
tary MacVeagh. The secretary is
expected to render a final decision
next week
About 20 establishments sweat
alcohol out of old barrels that have
been used for whiskey and alcohol.
This alcohol has been untaxed. The
business has grown 10 enormous
proportions and by reason of failure
to tax this alcohol the government
is losing about $1,000,000 revenue in
a year.
Commissioner Cabell has ordered
that this alcohol be taxed at $1.10
gallon, just as other alcohol. This
will drive the concerns engaged in
the work out of business, for the
margin of profit is too small to
enable them to pay the tax
