Tuesday, but the leaping and
bounding hasn't developed. In
stead, under the first Republican
governor the state has had since
1868, the census returns show prac-
tically no increase. The last census
under Democratic governor show
ed an increase of 16 per cent. If
the state shall show no more abund-
ant prosperity in the next two years
then we may all pray for a speedy
deliverance from dry rot.-Worth

Hints for Stock Owners.

There are many farmers who al
ways shelter their cattle from
storm, but there are raw, cold,
windy days which harm them as
much as storms. Don't let them
cringe in pasture corners, clustered
together for warmth on such days.
Put them in the shed or barn.

Plenty of exercise is one very
important item for keeping a flock
healthy.
Encourage exercise by placing
feed some distance from the sheds
on fine days.
Be sure that the sheep barn has
a tight ROOF, a dry floor, good venti-
lation and no drafts.
Hold on D some of the clover
spring feeding. 1t is great when
the sheep get tired of timothy.
Sheep are timid, nervous Great

with lambs. When such conditions
are discovered, rub the affected
parts twice a day with sailed

Leprosy Is said by some to have been
introduced into England by the Nor
mans, but hospitals for !epers were in
existence before the battle Of Hast

sent from England since Elizabeth's
reign. The leper windows to be seen
in ancient churches still attest the grip
which the disease once had on Eng
land, lepers being severely separated
from the rest of the community, a sep
aration which extended ever to eccle-
siastical matters. Though its ravages
were greater among the poorer classes,
1t was not unknown among the nobil-

BULL BATTING.
A Brutal sport" That Was Popular In
Former Days.

= Brutal sport mat was Fopufar w
Former Days.
The principle Of bull batting was ex-
tremely simple. A collar was fasten-
ed round the bulls neck, and by this
the bull WINS attached by a rope to a
stake. The rope varied from nine to
fifteen feet in length and therefore al
lowed the bull but little movement.
The audience was accommodated in a
circle or ring"
The bulldogs duty was to grasp the
bulls nose, and when he had succeed
ed ia obtaining a grip he was required
to maintain his hold, despite the eff
forts of the larger animal to dlslodge
him. The bull awaited the attack with
lowered horns, which the dog sought
to evade by crouching toward the head
of his opponent. Sometimes the bull
managed to get his horns under or
into the dog, which was then thrown
high into the air.
Writers state that dogs had been
tossed up to a height of thirty or forty
feet. The dog, IL he survived, would
retire burt" On the other hand, onc
the dog, which was trained to grip only
the nose, obtained a hold his adyer-
sary would have little chance of shak-
ing him off. The bull would whit! the
dog In the air and struggle frantically
to wrench his nose free from the ter
rible grip. When, from sheer exhaus-
ton, the dog dropped clear Of the bull
a fresh dog was sent into the ring.
