threatened battle near Juarez.
Minister De La Barra was not at
liberty to disclose the conditions on
which the armistice will be granted,
The terms are those made by the revo-
lutionists.
While 1t Is not presumed the exact
terms have been agreed to. tentative
promises of n character calculated to
satisfy the rebels have been made. Al
though the rebels lost the battle yester-
day at Aqua Prieta, sympathizers here
says their position is not so desperate
as to make them willing to enter into
an agreement in which all terms are
made by the government.
Rumor Of Terms Offered.
While no confirmation could be OBJ
tanned. n rumor was current that the
rebel terms are the resignation of
President Dlaz within five months. the
appointment of Minister De La Barra
as president pro tempore, pending a
special presidential election and re-
vision OF electoral laws.
The minister of foreign affairs said
the Mexican government, in It's reply
to the state department at Washington,
regarding fatalities in the first battle
of Aqua Pfieta. had expressed its re-
gret and offered to repeat the orders
already given to It's soldiers to avoid
shooting toward the American frontier.
AT the same time he pointed out that
the shots which had caused the fatali-
ties were fired, according to official
information received by him, by Amer.
lean filibnsters, who, he said formed
majority of the Lopez company of
rebels.
The Mexican government expressed
its convictions that the incidents grow
lng out Of the battle will not affect the
, friendly relations between We two ma :
tions.

KEEP FEEDING PALS CLEAN
Farmers Do Not Pay Enough Atten-
ton to Sanitary Condition Of Yes
sells Used for Feed.

(By NJ ]. THOMPSOE.)
One OF our institute lecturers told
us last winter that we ought to rinse
out the pals after feeding the hogs.
every time This seemed to me rather
far fetched at the moment, but the
more l think Of 1t the more believe
he Is right. We do not pay enough
attention to the sanitary condition Of
the vessels in which milk and other
feed for the hogs is kept. The hog Is
clearly animal when 1t can be, and
more than that pork is made for men,
women and children to eat 1t should
be as sweet as possible and free from
any disease producing element. 1t
cannot be II we feed the hogs from
vessels that contain left over feed that
has become sour and rancid from heat
and exposure to the air. We sold IA
pigs that averaged ITO pounds to the
local butcher last winter and when
he came out to look them over he
remarked that they were the cleanest
lot Of pigs he had bought for months.
He also complimenteds us on the clean
feeding pens and their surroundings,
and taking advantage of his evident
satisfaction we had no trouble in get
ting a nice toppy price for the lot.

cows HORN NURSING BOTTLE
Description Of Oid-Time Baby Raising
That viii Make Modern
Mother Shudder,

The original nursing bottle was Q
cows horn. to the small end of which
were sewn two pieces Of leather. as q
finger of a glove, and the infant drew
it's nourishment between the stitches
According to DR.. D. Forsyth. fifteenth
century mothers used to nurse their
babies for close upon three years, a
duration still customary among the
Japanese and .Greenlanders. In the
time of the Stuarts 1t had declined to
between eighteen months and two
years. In the time of the Georges it
fell to one year. and now he reckoned
the average as eight months.
During the Hanoverian period the
practice of feeding babies artificially
became somewhat common. Cows milk
was not then considered just the food
for baby deprived of its mothers
milk, and the substance called pap"
was introduced through the cows
horn. Pap" was a mixture of crust.
water and sugar. A baby that thrived
on 1t was usually one of rare constitu-
ton.
The nursing bottle with long rub
Der stem succeeded the cows horn.
and by degrees the comparatively san.
itary feeding bottle Of today was In
troduced.

SORE NECK ON FARM HORSES
Usually Preceded by Busch Coming
on Top Where Collar Fits
Should Be Treated at Once.

A sore neck is usually preceded by
bunch coming on the top of the neck
where the collar comes. If this Is left
and the horse worked it soon becomes
q deep-seated sore, causing no end of
trouble. II this bunch Is noticed the
first day it appears 1t can be entirely
removed and the horse worked con-
tinually, II the lump Is treated with
oil Of spike every night and morning.
It pays to look after the welfare Of the
horse, as he is our main dependence
during the rushing work of summer,
and a horse with sore neck cannot
do his work easily nor as satisfac-
torily as though he were sound. 1t
never pays to overdo horse when the
weather Is excessively warm, as he Is
almost sure to get sore shoulders or a
sore neck. no matter how we'll his col
lar fits, If his blood gets overheated
1t will often pay to give horse q
pail of water between meals In very
warm weather. 1t may mean some
work but 1t will pay in the long run
to not neglect anything that will add
to the comfort Of the hardworked ami
NAL.

But In spite of this act it is a risky

Water Tank for Stock Farm

hollow concrete blocks of standard
size, which were cast for silo. They
are well cemented on the inside to
make the tank waterproof, says the
Farm and Home.
A novel arrangement on the tank Is
device for heating the water in
winter. A 12-inch tile extends to the
center of the tank, while 4-inch pipe
leading up from this furnishes the
necessary flue. A CRATE is fitted in
the tile to allow for suitable draft,
and in the door which closes it is an
opening which can be opened or shut
at will. The braces which hold the
top in place also serve to support the
hinged doors, which are closed down
in cold weather.
