ORGANIZE NEW

The Gem City General hospital has
been organized and articles of incor-

SecIetary-Dr. E. E. Lusk.
Treasurer-Dr. G.. d. Beech.
The hospital staff has leased the pro-
perty known as the w. II. Prentice
home or George Astle residence at the
corner of Second street and Washing
ton avenue, now owned by Ernest A.
Fisher. The officers of the new organi-
cation decided they desired location
away from disturbing noises, as auto.
mobile traffic, ringing bells and other
sounds found in the heart of any city.
The location has beautiful surround

will find JUSTIFICATION to their liking,
the officials believe. The physicians
in charge ofi the Gem City General
hospital are well known here, need nc
introduction and their friends will be
glad to see the new institution under
their management. The physicians
say they will insure the most careful
attention to all patients and will give
a serviceCwhich only such an institu-
tion can render.
Medical, surgical and obstetrical
cases will be admitted and 1t Is as
sured the most competent nurses will
be employed to care for patients. The
equipment is the most modern and
practical, including x-ray apparatus
static electrical machine, microscope
sphygmomanometer for measuring
blood pressure, and such other In
struments as have proven of value l.
the diagnosis and treatment of dis
ease. The hospital is open 10 all phy'
sicians of Sank county and adjoining
counties and such physicians will
have entire charge of patients during
their stay in the institution. The
hospital will be open in few days fo'
inspection and the reception of pa
tients and the public is cordially in
vited to call.
The board of directors of the Gen
City General hospital say they especi-
ally wish to have it known that this
hospital is established in response to
popular demand for such an institu
ton for immediate needs and not IL
any sense to discourage nor to antago
nize the establishment Of a genera
hospital which has been under con-
temptation for some time, and furthe'
that if at any time such general hos
pital should be established that they
will turn over their patronage to such
institution.

There was no need Of a single good
bushel OF apples being fed to hogs or
even sold cheap. Good apples are
scarce in the United States. The crop
was marketed too quickly. Farmers
should have kept a part of their crop
for winter markets. These are the
conclusions of ]. H. Miller, dean of the
division of college extension in the
Kansas Agricultural college.
kansas orchardists and farmers
ran learn a good deal from this sea-
sons apple business" said Mr.. Miller.
First. not one-half of the farmers
who have had apples to sell sprayed
their fruit and hence did not have,
except in few cases, a very large pro-
portion of good fruit; second, only a
small proportion Of apple growers in
Kansas seem to know how to grade
and pack their apples for market.
Mind, apple growers, except in three
places, did not organize to handle
their apples in a businesslike way.
Spraying has become an absolute ne
ces>ity, and the farmer who will not
spray his trees may as we'll cut his
trees or sell his farm to a man who
will attend to the orchard.
And one might as well 90 to town

TANKAGE MORE POPULAR.
Economical and Used With Judgment
IL Good For Hoos, =

a great many farmers are beginning
to use tankage. l find it beneficial and
in a large degree profitable where hogs
are kept. writes II W. Swope in the
American AgricultuIist. There isn't
anything about good tankage or meat
meal that is in any way Injurious to
hogs. whether young or old. Good
tankaSe contains over ~ per cent pro-
teill, and for that reason it an
important question in animal economy.
1t is a good feed to use with corn and
highly palatable. It need not be fed
In large quantities, and, especially
when beginning to feed tankage. one
part tankage to about ten parts of corn
Is a very satisfactory ration.
Tankage is animal matter from
which the grease and oil have been en-
tracted. This consists of meat scraps
and bone from meat markets and pack
ing houses picked up fresh in a large
tank and thoroughly cooked at a high
temperature. The grease is removed
from the surface and tankage is then
dried thoroughly, after which it is
ground, screened and placed in bags
for shipment. The high temperature
employed in cooking destroys all dis
ease germs that might be present.
Tankage, therefore, all summed up is a
pure, safe feed for hogs. 1t contains
8 to 10 per cent moisture, and in a
good. dry place it can be kept for an
indefinite period of time.
Tankage may be fed dry, either alone
or with grain rations. l have found
it. very satisfactory in a thin slop.

A Glass Hou House,

\ Kansas hog raiser some three or
four years ago built a glass hog house
at a cost of about $1,000. it being his
contention that hogs need a good deal
more sunshine than they usually get.
This house contains siXty-tWo pens
that are six by eight feet in size. Each
pen is connected 10y a sliding gate with
an eight foot alleyway which runs the
entire length Of the house and in
which the little pigs can exercise.
Each SOW is marked as she is given a
pen, and a record is kept of the num-
Der and individual thriftiness Of the
pigs in her litter. In making the house
double glass was used, and the owner
reports that it never freezes in this
glass hog house. He says if he were to-
build another hog house he would build
it like this one.

In fact, there wasn't any wreck tina,

terminal. When he got there he col.
lapsed. When asked If he had run
anybody down or anything like that he
couldn't answer for a time, and when
he righted himself he would not say
anything about his experience, but
went to the superintendent and told
him that nothing could induce him to
run over that part Of the road again.
b superintendent got the story out
of him and knew what 1t all meant.
but he didn't let on. If he had given
out that Bill Buttons ghost was ca.
vorting around the place where he had
been killed he wouldn't have been able
to get an engineer to take trains past II.
"All: right. Bigley," he said. "Il'

AS This occurrence was kept pretty
close, he date was not noticed, bu,
just a year from that time another en-.

about it, and somebody suggested that

death. They, looked up the date anG
found that the accident and the two
occasions on which the backing light
was seen all occurred on the 23d o,
November, the day Burton was killed.
After that the only trouble the man
agement had to get engineers to take s
train past the place was on the nigh,
Of the anniversary. One of the men

with the road for many years and hat

that has recently been resurrected.

ing behind 1t but a caboose, in which
were two trainmen playing eve up.
They noticed the shock, but, being In
tent on the game, paid no attention to
it and didn't know a few minutes after
1t occurred. that they were moving
backward at breakneck speed.
The first thing they knew they didn't
know anything, for they doubled up on
a passenger train standing on the track
and We're both killed.
One. who knew Burton intimately
remarked at the time of his death
that it was perhaps best he had been
killed. He was a very sensitive man,
and the knowledge that he had saved
his own life by jumping at the expense
of such a disaster as resulted from
his leaving. his engine reversed with
steam on would have driven him to
suicide. Another friend, also an en-
gineer, added, Yes, and. 1t will trouble
Bill dead just as much as it would

One night, just such a night as the

place, Joe Bigley, an engineer, was

he threw back the lever. %. As he did

Bigley. seeing that the ~danger'was

moved ahead again. The light before
him receded. He let It get far enough
to avoid danger. then put on his ,regu-

BAD FLAvORS IN MILK.
Yield Of Cows Without Sign Of. Dis.
order Often OF Color.

There are various ways in which
milk may acquire abnormal flavors and
odors. 1t is well known that highly
favored foods. such as wild onion. i'm
part peculiar t1avors to the milk and
that all milk, especially when warm,
takes up the odors of the surrounding
air with great rapidity. Often a COW
with no outward sign of disorder will
+ produce milk with an unusual favor.
Sterilized milk when %inoculated with
some II kind Of bacteria frequently
acquires a certain flavor. while an
other kind of bacteria will produce, an
equally pronounced but entirely diff
ferent flavor.
\ bitterness in the milk may result
from some weeds the cow has eaten or
from some abnormal condition OF the
animal. and here again the cause may
be due to bacterial growth. This, is
especially true in the case Of milk
which has been imperfectly sterilized
or p%asteurized at too high a tempera-
ture.
The fermentation of milk. which is
commonly described as "ropy"t. or
"strin@y' milk. is caused by the growth
of certain kinds Of bacteria. each one
of which is surrounded by Il capsule of IA
sticky. gumnly substance. These hold
the bacteria together and are RESPONSE
bic for the strillginess of the milk.
Most people object to the milk in this
condition. but it is. so far as known.
in no way detrimental to health. Bac-
terra may he considered as normally
present in milk. They may occur in
it and it's products in very large mum
bcrs. however. without making it an
unsafe food or in any way decreasing
its food value.-Country Gentleman.
