SIGNS MONEY BILL
UNDER A PROTEST
GOVERNOR STATES HIS DESIRE
TO VETO ITEMS IN UNlvER-
SITY APPROPRIATION
ASK FOR LAW GIVING POWER
Special Message Urges Legislature to
Adopt Resolution for Such constitu-
tional Northumberland Says
Blanket Bills Tie His Hands.

Madison.-After signing the bill ap.
propriating $S,OOO,0OO to the state uni
versity and state normal schools dur
ing the coming two years, Gov. McGov-
ern sent a special message to the leg
islature urging it to adopt resolution
for constitutional amendment which
would enable the governor to veto spe-
cial items in appropriation bills. Under
the constitution as it now stands the
governor has power only to approve or
veto an appropriation bill and cannot
approve some of it's items and veto
others. The practice followed by the
legislature of including in meritorious
appropriation bills many items that
are Objectionable, in the opinion of the
governor, he says, simply ties the
hands of the executive and he practi-
cally has no alternative except to APP
prove of the appropriations as whole.
In view of the fact that the legislature
has appropriated nearly $25,OO0,OO
this session and included four-fifths
of it in blanket bills, the governor S
communication was received by the
two houses of the legislature with deep
interest.

NEW CURE FOR sWELL-HEAD
Let the Fowls Go by Themselves,
Separating From Others, If 1t
Can Be Done Conveniently.

(By MRS. E. M. STETSON. California;
There is practice among poultry
people to catch a fowl with swell
head and squeeze the white matter
out, thinking that this will relieve the
bird of it's corruption and cause it to
get we'll
This is entirely wrong A sac or
covering surrounds this white matter,
keeping it from going any further
than the one organ. When this sac
is broken, as it must necessarily be
by the breaking of it's outside covering
in order to eject it from the eye, the
contagion is allowed to go down the
nose and spread to the whole head.
The bird is then hopeless case, for
there is no remedy now but the ak.
The matter which will be found in the
blood of the fowl is also Of very
contagious nature and contact with
other organs will cause them to take
on similar conditions Of corruption and
decay.
If the bird is kept in warm place
and is fed on highly stimulating and
nutritious food the blood will finally
right itself, but it cannot do so If
largely re-infected, or vaccinated with
the virus of the disease throughout
the entire head.
The proper way to do is not to
touch the head, just letting the fowls
go by themselves; this is better than
the squeezing treatment. but separate
them il convenient from the other
chickens and keep warm and feed all
they will eat.
| II the eye is not pecked by the other
chickens, as in fighting over food, or
the sac is not broken, there is no
special danger of the other birds catch
ing the disease, even if they are allow
ed to run together.
We spent several dollars for roup
medicine, worked necessarily, causing
ourselves and the poor chickens I'M
told misery by trying the squeezing
out method, and always lost the cases.
Now we let them run and, save for a
blind eye, we seldom ever have one
die.

July Is, one day earlier than the
previous one.
During the session there have been
enacted into law IT'S measures, adding
that number to the chapters of the
statutes. This, too, is a record, ex-

great many farmers are now
building new houses. Farmers have
bepn prosperous of late, and they are
,sing considerable money in building.
A farmer likes to have house look
we'll and to have conveniences for
dining the work; that is, live, up-to-
date farmers do. There are plenty
of the other kind, but they are not
building houses like this.
This house is about as large as
necessary on the average farm 1t is
about as large as furnace will heat

The stairway to the attic is closed SO
that no heat is wasted in that direc-
tion. A hot-air furnace is the best
means of heating up a house of this
size. Anything larger should have
hot water or steam. There is a
great advantage in hot air, from the
fact that It furnishes ventilation ;
most houses in the country are shy
on ventilation.

HE 0BEYED LAW
Thomas County Citizen PlOws
Land to Stop Soil Drifting.
Plants Wheat on 900 Acres and
Harvests 40 Bushels per Acre.

Colby. Kan, Aug. 9.-Forty BUSH
els of wheat per acre is the reward
J. NJ. Carpenter, a farmer living near
here, has received for obeying q state
law. In the late nineties a Kansas
legislature passed a law empowering
county commissioners in western
Kansas to force land owners to Guilt
vate their land to prevent soil drift
ing. The law was passed largely be
cause of the rising prevalence of soil
drifting in Thomas county. Soil
drifting has increased in this county
since the passage of the law and
large tract near here now has the ap-
pearance of a desert. Union Pacific
engineers dread to drive their trains
through the tract and practically all
residents have left. Carpenter has
500 acres of this land and 400 acres
adjoining it. The commissioners or
dered him to cultivate it in July, 1912,
to prevent drifting. He reluctantly
obeyed and at the same time drilled
his 400 acres of stubble ground to
wheat without blowing. He planted
the 600 acres of plowed land in Sep
TENDER. 1t yielded 40 bushels per
acre this year while the 400 acres of
unplowed land averaged between A
and bushels. Local wheat men con-
slider it the most remarkable demon
stration of the value of scientific
farming yet made in this county.
