BUSINESS 10 be OOutllluCOs
A statement by Carver & Carver, the
attorneys of the late MIR. Thomas, who
today presented the will for probate,
announces that in accordan with ms
wishes the large lumber business OF
which he was the principal proprietor
will be continued unchanged by Paul
Huycke. who for a number of years
has been the manager. d. j. Hatha-
way is one of the partners with MT.
Huycke. Several outside lumber yards
will continue their interests with the
future business. The principal part OF
the Thomas estate is represented by
the J. Thomas Lumber company,
which he founded in Topeka many
years ago.
The philanthropic character which
Mr.. Thomas had manifested on innum-
cradle occasions throughout his life
time is borne out in his will which,
while protecting the life interest of his
widow in his estate, provides for the
distribution of the greater portion of
his property afterward- Mrs. Thomas,
who is president of the Ingleside As
sociation, has long been identified with
this and other charitable work in the
city, while Mrs. Charles B. Thomas,
their sons widow, has been a leader in
the work of the Provident Association
which takes charge of a large part OF
the miscellaneous charitable work OF
the city.
In the year before his death Mr..
Thomas had given to Washburn college
2 building to be known as the Thomas
Memorial Gymnasium, at cost of
about $43, 600. 1t stands as a memorial
to the dead son. Ingleside has also
benefited by his generosity in years
past to the amount of at least $4,000.
Miss Carolyn H. Thomas, the niece
mentioned in the will, will come to To-
pela shortly from her present home in
Illinois to make her home with Mrs.
Thomas.

as a result Of moldy feed, strains or
injuries Of any kind. Contagious abor-
ton is seldom troublesome except in
the case Of cows. All cases Of abor-
ton in cows. unless positively known
TO be due to some other cause, should
be treated as contagious. If once in
troduced into herd this disease
spreads rapidly, almost destroying the
usefulness Of the entire herd for breed
ing purposes.
AS soon as a COW has aborted, the
calf, if il is dead. should be burned,
together with the afterbirth. The
stan and the hind quarters Of the COW
should be disinfected thoroughly. A
2 per cent solution Of some coal tar
dip or a ~ per cent solution Of car
bolic acid is all right for this purpose.
The genital organs Of the COW should
be syringed out with this solution
every three or four days as long as
there is any discharge. Cows that
have aborted should be kept well
away from the rest Of the herd. They
should not be bred for at least ten
weeks after abOrting or until all dis
charge has ceased. The reproductive
organs Of the bull should be disinfect-
ed both before and after service. The

pint This should be shaken well and
given as a drench. In severe cases a
veterinarian should be sent for.

Hog Cholera.

Hog cholera aud the closely allied
disease swine plague. are the greatest
sources Of loss in the swine industry
The first symptom is refusal to eat.
There are red and purple blotches on
the skin and a sticky discharge from
the eyes. The walk is often unsteady.
and there is more or less coughing.
There is no internal treatment that
will cure hog cholera. The best means
Of handling it is 10y prevention Dogs
crows and pigeons carry Infection from
one herd to another and should be
kept away with shotgun if neces-
sary Running streams also carry in
fection. When there is cholera in the
neighborhood no one but the regular
feeder should be allowed in the hog
lot. The pens should be disinfected
frequently with whitewash or coal tar
dip. Having the hogs divided into
small lots helps TO keep the disease
from taking the whole herd If it once
gets a start All hogs that die should
be buried ut once. When new animals
are brought on to the farm they should
be kept in quarantine for at least
week.
A system OF vaccination has been de-
veloped recently 1'At is proving very
successful.

of transmitting the disease from one
COW to another All litter in the stall
where the affected COW is kepi should
he burned as soon as cleaned out.
For internal use the carbolic acid
treatment has given the best results.
One Of the best ways to give this is
in salt at the rate Of parts to 100
parts of barrel salt. Pure carbolic
acid comes in crystals and will have
10 be liqueied by placing the bottle in
hot water for a few moments. The
acid should be poured over the salt
and stirred in well. This makes an
excellent preventive. 1t should be
placed where the cows can get it at
all times, beginning at least five
months before calving with cows that
have previously aborted and three
months with those that have not.
All new cows should be kept sepa-
rate from the rest Of the herd until it is
certain that they are free from infec-
ton. II there is any unusual discharge
they should be returned to the seller
or subjected TO a strict course Of pre-
ventiye treatment.

MIX Fever.

Heavy milking cows are often az
fected with milk fever soon after calv.
ing The first symptoms appear from
ten TO twenty hours after calving. The
COW becomes uneasy, ceases to eat or
TO notice the calf and seems TO be in
considerable pain. The walk is un-
steady. and the animal soon falls and
is unable TO rise. II not attended to,
death is very likely to result.
The cause of milk fever is not def
initely known Since it occurs only in
heavy mixers it may be due to part of
the milk being reabsorbed again and
acting as a poison TO the nerves. Light
feeding for a week before and after
parturitiOn is good preventive treat
ment. one to two pounds of epson
salts given a few days prior to calving
will reduce the liability to the disease.
When the udder is greatly enlarged
previous To calving it is well to milk it
out.
The most effective remedy for milk
fever is what is known as the air treat
ment This consists in pumping the
udder full Of air one quarter at
time. and working it well to get the
air into all parts. 4 common bicycle
pump may be used if a regular milk
fever outfit is not at hand. Both the
udder and the instrument should be
disinfected before the treatment is
given.

- OULTRY keeping more per
haps than any other industry
is engaged in for the double
purpose of profit and pleasure.
The farmer is rarely conscious OF
the fact that he is keeping poultry for
pleasure, yet the farm without its Gus
tOmary flock Of chickens would seem
rather dreary. and the farmers table
without its customary supply Of fresh
eggs and fried chicken would be sadly
deficient
The object of pleasure enters more
largely in the case of those who keep
poultry in towns and villages. Not
only does the fOck OF chickens give

The prime object Tor which the farm /

sufficient poultry products to supply

will OF necessity be at certain seasons
a surplus for the market: hence the

Calls.

When horses are put to work in the
spring. gals are very likely to form on
their shoulders This can be prevented
by the use Of collars and by accustom-
ing the horses to work gradually. The
use Of pads is seldom advisable, as
they become filed with sweat and are
hard and irritating. A hard leatbe
collar that fits snugly to the horses
neck is the best thing to use. The
names should fit the collar snugly.
Washing the shoulders in warm water
every night helps to keep them from

tuberculosis.

tuberculosis affects cattle. swine and
man. II has been clearly proved that
tuberculosis can be transmitted to
swine through the milk Of affected
cows, and it is very probable that it
can be transmitted to human beings in
the same way.
tuberculosis can seldom be told by
the appearance Of the animal. Often
the best looking cows in the herd will
be the worst affected tuberculosis is
easily transmitted from one COW in
herd TO another The only safe way to
do is TO get the herd ON healthy basis
and keep it there. The tubercuhn test
applied by a competent man is a sure
means of detecting the disease. The
diseased animals should be sold to a
soapmaker at once. If the disease
is present only in certain local parts Of
the body the rest may be all right for
use. After the herd is once cleaned
up no animals should be brought on
the place that have not been subjected
to the test In this way only can
healthy herd be maintained.

El Paso, Tex, Nov. 12.-Though
1t is feared that anti-American riot
ing may break out in the state of ia
lisco, and particularly in Guadala-
jara, where the feeling against
Americans is very bitter, the condi-
tions otherwise throughout the coun-
try are reported today as normal.
Dispatches received here today from
Mexico City, Monterey and other prin-
cipal cities in the republic say that
quiet has been restored, and that the
soldiers and rurales who still patrol
the streets, have little to do.
No arrests have been made within
the last "a hours, 1t is reported, and
it is believed by the authorities that,
outside of the state of Jalisco, there
is little fear of other outbreaks. AS
a precaution, however, against dem
onstrations tomorrow, bull fights
throughout the republic have been
prohibited.
