Kentucky Last to Respond.

Kentucky is the last state in the
Union to accept the invitation extend
ed by the War Department nearly two
weeks ago to select a number of mill
tary officers for observation and ex-
perience service with the "army ma
neuvers" on the Mexican frontier.
After every other state had responded
with list of officers who were anx-
ious to go to Texas and attend the mill
tary operations Kentucky came along
and presented list of SO officers for
service

Kentucky's quota in the first deatch-

His Duty.

An important case was decided by
the Court of Appeals Thursday in the
matter of Hunts administrator
against the Louisville and Nashville
Railroad Company from Rockcastle.
Hunt was employed as a fiagman and
when his train was stopped for reasons
now unknown, he was sent back to
stop another train which was ap-
preaching. Instead of stopping the
train and keeping out of the way of il
as was his duty, he remained on the
track and was run over and killed.
The Court of Appeals in Diminishing the
case says that it was not the duty OF
the railway company to send a guard
along with the fiagman to keep him of
the tracks. as he was supposed to be
able to take care of himself. The
Rockcastle Circuit Court gave the ad.
miniStrator verdict for $1,000
damages against the railway company.

FREE REMEDY HELPS CHILDREN

Many mother has learned of a
way of avoiding sickness in her fam
lily, especially among the children, by
the use of free sample bottle of the
famous laxative, DR.. Caldwell's Syrup
Pepsin. This offer of the doctors to
send free sample bottle has been re-
sponded to by thousands of women
in all parts of America.
DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is a
truly wonderful laxative and espe-
cially adapted to the needs of babies
and children because it is pleasant to
taste and no child will refuse it. Then,
it is mild and never gripes. 1t is all
that a child's remedy should be,
though it is good laxative for the
whole family because it is effective
at all ages. It is not dynamic like
salts. pills and powerful cathartics,
which should not be given to chill
dren under any circumstances.

Possibilities for Political Plumber

By the decision of the United States
Supreme Court in favor of the corpora
tion tax, $4,000, 900 was added to the
national revenue, and without this
amount there would now be deficit of
over $50, 000.0 But the amount of
the tax collected from the corporations
under this law is of relatively small

has decided that the law does not pro-

News from Nippon.

We have heretofore felt skeptical of
HalIey's comet having much if any
effect on the affairs of nations; but it
now appears that it has had a must
pcrtentous effect on the Empire of ia
pan. A cable from Toxic says: 1.-The
popular party contemplates the i'm
parchment of the government on the
ground that the new American treaty
is distinct violation of the pledge of
hte Foreign Office in conference to
the complete recovery of the national
rights.
LAS soon as the details of the text
of the treaty were made known in ia
pan the liberal party denounced them
as being inimical to japanese interests
and an insult to the people-the ma
ton.
'At dinner given by DR.. Hasega-
wa an association was formed with the
object of taking part in the agitation.
At the dinner, at which Admiral XII
motsuki and other men prominent in
political and military circles were
present. the new treaty was renowned
as being q elimination of the series of
disasters left in the wake of Halley's
comet. and as being disgrace to the
honor of Japan"

you attempt to understand the devious
ways of Republican politicians you
must dismiss your astrologers. for

ALFALFA HAY AND THE BROOD
MARE

Alfalfa hay has very great field
of usefulness in feeding all classes
of livestock under western conditions
1t cannot be safely fed to brood
mares, however, in unlimited guam
titles.
From some sections of the irrigated
belt have come reports of large
percentage of colts born dead or weak
and deformed. In some cases an
over-used and defective stallion is
undoubtedly responsible. In many
cases, however, when colts are lost
in the manner before mentioned, the
farmers are feeding alfalfa hay and
alfalfa alone to their mares. 1t should
not be SO fed. For best results with
the brood mare some grain should
be fed in addition to the hay. In
case 1t is desired to feed a large
amount of hay as compared, with the
grain. the hay ration will be improy-
ed and made safer by combining with
hay, timothy, or even oat or wheat
straw with the alfalfa. In no event
should q brood mare weighing 1900
to 1900 pounds be fed more than Is
or is pounds OF alfalfa daily.
b. A sole ration Of alfalfa hay con-
tains a much larger proportion of nj
Itrogen than the in-foal mare needs
or can use. The surplus must be
eliminated as waste and this con-
dition lays an extra burden ON the
digestive tract and on the organs of
elimination. Especially heavy, is the
labor placed on the kidneys. II
where large quantities of alfalfa have
been fed to brood mares without ap-
parent injurious effects. There is un-
questionable danger of abortion and
weak and defective colts from such
practice. The farmer and horse
breeder will be wise to play safe and
substitute grain or other hays in place
Of a portion of the alfalfa.

NEW STATION Is DECIDED UPON
FOR IDAHO
Aberdeen, Downey or American Falls
Will Be the Location

\
Another irrigation experiment sta.
tion is to be established in Idaho
within the next two months and Ell
Their Downey, Aberdeen or American
Falls will be the location of it, &C.
,,cording to present plans. Dean Car
lyle of the college of agriculture OF
the state university and Professor
Olin, the new head of, the extension
department of the university, passed
through Boise recently on their way
to Downey to look the ground ove-
with the idea of putting the station
there. They will be joined early next
week by M. A. Carlton of Washing
ton, D. c., the leading government
ereologist, who will exchange views
with them regarding the location OF
the new station.
The irrigation department of the
United States bureau Of agriculture
and the state university are cooper
|ating in the starting of the new sta
ton. Each organization will stand
half the expense and the results re-
suits obtained will be published
through the channels of both institu-
tions.
Site Alone Unsettled
The heads of the departments in
volved have for some time been lay
ing plans for the founding of this
station and all that remains now is
the choosing of the site and the con-
'struction of the necessary buildings
and fences. 1t Is not anticipated that
this part of the work will consume
much time.
Professor Olin and Professor Car
lyle stated that they will have ex-
pertinent crops growing at the new
station next spring.
This was Professor Olin's first visit
to Boise. He has just been detailed
to direct the expansion work. He
will stay but short time at Downey,
and will then return to Boise, where
he is to have his headquarters. He
