Lincoln, Neb., July 2S.-William ].
Bryan will continue the contest for
county option and the initiative and
referendum. In a statement issued to-
day he says:
while the failure of the democratic
convention to endorse county option
was disappointing, still the fight for
county option in the democratic party
has not been in vain. In the first place
it has helped to secure declaration in
favor of the initiative and referendum
from both parties, anI now that all
parties have declared for it, there is
no doubt of the necessary amendment
being submitted at the next session of
the legislature.
Advises Beth Parties.
Work now to be done is to secure
county option candidates in every sena-
torial and representative district The
democrats who favor county option
should turn out at the primaries and
nominate candidates favorable to coun-
ty option. The republicans in favor of
county option should be equally as
active in securing the nomination of
republican candidates favorable to
county option. County option candi-
dates should be nominated by all par
ties In each district, and 1 have no
doubt that this can be done in a great
many districts"

snnils and slugs.

A woman gardener wrote to State
Zoologist H. A. Surface at Harrisburg,
Pa, asking for instructions how to
overcome the snails in her garden.
Prof Surface replied: "Snails and
slugs, although very great and seri-
Gus garden pests, especially where the
gardens are damp and the vegetation
rank, can be prevented by the use of
an impossible barrier of powdery sub
stance around the beds OF plants to
be protected. SCOT Is excellent for
this, although dry ashes will serve
the purpose, and air-slaked lime will
be found very good. Also, you can kill
them by dusting them with some
freshly slaked lime mixed with paris
green, using about thirty parts of the
lime to one part of the paris green,
which is busted abundantly over their
bodies. Also busting their food plants
with flour and paris green will de-
stroy them. Another method is to pol
son some leaves of plants of which
they are particularly fond, and put
this where the snails will find and eat
them and be destroyed. Another meth
cd is to place boards loosely on the
ground, as traps, and in the morning
examine them and pick out and gath
er the snails and brush them into a
vessel containing salt, which will kill
them. If the ground is dry and crack
ed pour salt water into the cracks
and thus destroy them. The barriers
mentioned above should be kept dry,
or renewed every time after a rain.
Keep the vegetation around the gar
den moved low, or keep the ground
cultivated, SO that these pests will
not find suitable places where they can
multiply"

The Poultry Yard.

Eighteen hens that were fed milk
last winter laid more eggs than 100
fed on cut bone and meat
"A flock might just as well roost In
trees as in a house full of cracks and
holes, which chills the birds In spots
and poduces bad colds.
Some people are willing to pay an
extra price for eggs on one color
Many people get cent or more doz-
en- for sorting their hen fruit accord
ing TO size and color.

many chickens together In one flock

crowded In their winter quarters,
make thrift and health certainty by
dividing them up. or selling some of
them.

can hunt their own grit You are

rock and oyster-shell, and hang It on

Thumps In Pigs.

Thumps in pigs is caused by sur
plus of fat and lack of exercise. The
humping is due to violent beating of
the heart, causing shaking movement
of the sides and flanks of the animal.
Often 1t is so violent that the whole
body trembles and shakes with the
movements. In aggravated cases the
pig is weak and uncertain in his
walk and lies down most of the time.
Before death the nose, ears and other
parts of the body become red and pur,
pie with congested blood, due to weak
circulation.
Advanced cases of the thumps are
difficult to cure When first symptoms
are noticed reduce the bedding If there
is much in their sleeping quarters;
reduce the feed and compel the pig
to exercise in the open air. Fresh air
will purify the blood and exercise will
promote circulation. When pigs be-
come fat and lazy they will lie in bed
great part of the time, often COM
pletely covered with bedding, SO that
they breathe impure air and dust.
This poisons the blood and reduces
the vitality in general, which, with
compression Of the heart with surplus
fat, causes the ma1ady.
In the spring or summer when pas
ture is good 1t is well to change pas
ture of hogs afflicted with the thumps
SO that they will be induced to take
more exercise and eat green food. Re-
duce heavy feeding and keep the
bowels of the animal loose by doses

1t is particularly an orchard tractor,
having low, wide wheels, narrow
tread, short wheel base and short turn
ing radius A special feature is that
the tractor may be driven from the
seat of the ordinary wheel plow or

To obtain the greatest efficiency the

the rear are smaller plain wheels,
close together, with fanges to hold
against side slipping, used simply as
trailers, to which the plow, cultivator,
harrow or farm wagon Is hitched the
same as though coupled to the small
wheels used on the rear of the ordi-

much like a dredging machine. The
advantage of auger is in the small
clean hole it makes. Without 1t post
hole must be dug with a spade and the
smallest spade not only makes hole
