 hoof or near the heel. Lameness soon fellows. says Dr. Mcintosh of the IL linois experiment station.
 The treatment usually recommended for sidebones consists in the free use of cold foot baths or cold water band ages. Tncture of iodine applied to the swollen parts is very good. A blister applied after the water appli- cations have been made for a week or so is used by many veterinarians. The blister is made of two teaspoon fuls of eantharides mixed with four tablespoonfuls of lard It is rubbed in well with the fingers and allowed to remain for twenty-four hours, when it is washed of and applied a second time the following week. These applications are continued until the lameness disappears. If this does not bring permanent relief then firing of the injured parts and several months rest will be necessary.

Dairy Notes.

The capacity of dairy COW is worthless if she does not have mate rial with which to work.
 The blood may supply the milk. but unless it in turn is supplied by the food there can be no milk.

TRYING TO Save
THE PRAIRIE CHICKEN
Movement on Foot by the League
of American Sportsmen

New York, Dec. 10, l0l0.-The prairie
chicken. one of the most interesting,
beautiful and valuable of all our Ameri-
can game birds, is on the verge of eXter-
mination. 1t is following the wild pigeon
into oblivion as rapidly as that bird
went in the 70's. The prairie chicken
is now practically extinct in several
western states where formerly it was
abundant, as for instance, in Illinois,
Iowa and Wisconsin. There are not more
than ten per cent of the number of these
birds in any western state that existed
there twenty years ago.
The League of American Sportsmen,
with headquarters in New York, has
started II movement to save the prairie
chicken, or grouse. rs it is sometimes
called. a bill has been drafted which
the League hopes to induce the legisla-
lures of the prairie states to pass in
the near future. This contemplates set
ting aside strip of territory six miles
wide across the north side of each county
in each state, to be designated and set
apart as Bird Refugees The bill fur
Their provides that ii shall be unlawful
to kill. trap, snare. or in any manner
in lure such prairie chickens or other use
full wild birds as may take refuge in
the territory so designated. A fine not
to exceed $50 for each oilense is named
for any person who shall violate the
provisions of the act.
THE Importance of this is brought home
to the countryman when it is stated that
the prairie chicken has been proven to
be q natural enemy of the potato bug,
and it is said that if the birds were
carefully preserved and were allowed to
exist in the great numbers of some years
ago, there would be no potato bugs grass
hoppers or other pests in any state in
which the birds live.

man, the track crosses the Crooked River
on bridge which is interesting from the
fact that it is the highest railroad bridge
in the United States and the seventh
highest in the world 1t is steel arch
bridge 3G0 feet long and $50 feet above
the water The line, as completed to
Bend, Oregon, 100 miles in length, will
represent an expense of $l0,000,000.00,
approximately. 1t is noteworthy in that
it opens up practically the last large
area of undeveloped land in the country,
which is already attracting settlers from
all over the East and Middle West. The

trated pamphlet describing this new ter

~ expenses away from home

!, the Ellensburg high school could
.Nend the normal school for two
,.Srs and the university for two
vars and graduate from both insti-
trtIons, thus securing normal
'rhool diploma which natures with
traching experience into a life
dploma, and degree from the uni
varsity. In this way while the
naduates of the Ellensburg high
shool are securing their advanced
ducation they are spending two
vears at home at only a nominal en-
bense and securing the same ad-
-y,ncement as in any other school.
Again graduates of accredited
ligh schools may secure a secondary
ertihcate valid for three years by
attending one year at the normal
ehool and completing the secondary
course. This is especially advan-
hseous to one who finds it neces-
ary to teach before completing the
complete course.
These are some of the things par
ats should consider in determining
where to educate the boy or girl.
