PRoPERLy.MADE FLOOD GATE
Device Saves Many Fences From Be-
Ing Put Out Of Commission Dur.
Ing the Rainy Seasons.

Now that the season Of heavy rains
is at hand the farmers whose fields
are trsversed by creeks and ravines
will be subjected to the annoyance OF
having their fences washed out. Flood
gates save many fences from being
put out Of commission. but unless they
are properly made and hung they are
apt to come to disaster during some
violent flood when the streams are
running swift and carrying wreckage,
trees limbs. etc The food gate should
be built for strength and should be
made long enough to reach out good
distance on each side of the creek or
ravine. The timber used In It's con-
struction should be heavy-unfinished
boards are the best. The frame
should be made OF 2xs. The other
lumber-the boards which go across
the frame-should be one inch thick
and twelve wide Use spikes and ten
penny nails. The best way is to bolt

The forks should be set crosswise to

ages OF this rig are that 1t will take

SPEEDY REMEDY FOR BLOAT
Many Good Animals Are Lost Because
Owner Did Not Know How to
Treat Case Properly.
(By Z. 8. HANING.)


As long as green clousr pasture
lasts bloat will cause the death OF
many a good animal simply because
the owner did not know how to treat
the case to effect a speedy remedy.
Tapping. as every one knows, will
usually give relief. but aside from be-
ing a particular piece of work 1t has
the disadvantage Of leaving a wound
that cuts the animal down In flesh,
and it must be protected from the
flies during the healing process. Here
is treatment that have used
In q dozen cases. 1t has never failed.
although in some instances the ami
mails we're down on their knees. AS
soon as the animal is known to be
affected get a pail of cold water and
pour it slowly over the distended
sides OF the animal and along the
backbone. Repeat few minutes
later
Bloat is caused by a moist steam or
vapor generated from the green, wet
stun in the animals paunch, aided
by the natural heat Of the animals
body The cold water quickly lowers
the temperature. causing the steam
to condense and form water, which
then passes off by way OF the bowels.

Disposal Of Manure.

The most important part of the sta
BILE sanitation from the other fellows
standpoint is the disposal of the ma
nure.
The liquid manure should be alb
sorbed by the bedding and the bedding
changed every day. The solid ma
nure should be cleaned up morning
and evening and thrown in a flypreof
box or vault. If possible have 1t
hauled away daily.

WANT PARENT Love
Young Men Ever In Need Of the
Wisest Guidance Because
They Are Young.
E<T He young man Is in danger be-
cause he is young" said Rev.

kC HE young man Ia IN danger %
cause he Is young" said Rev.
q. w. Muckley, pastor Of the
Linwood boulevard Christian church,
Kansas City. The youth believes
himself wise. but no is ignorant.
The world to him is a closed book. be-
cause Of his lack Of experience. How
ever, It Is impossible to put old heads
on young shoulders, though II the
young man would listen to those older
and more experienced, he would be In
less danger. Because OF his youth
and ardor and enthusiasm, the young
man is attracted to the things in life
that seem the brightest, but which too
often are evil"
Rev. Mr.. Muckley spoke of guides
and habitues Of our great art galleries
becoming Indifferent to the beauties
about them, as they become accus-
toned to the pictures and statuary.
But the visitor who does not visit
these galleries so often sees the beau
ties about him. and fully appreciates
everything he Sees" he continued.
THE world Is much like an art gallery,
but by no means so safe. The young
man walking through the world Is at
tracted by everything he sees and is
apt to be led away by the glamor."
He further spoke of the parent love
for children, and the readiness with
which a mother or father will condone
an evil In son. He spoke Of King
Davids inquiry of his son, Absalom.
after his sons strife: Us the young
man, Absalom, safer" David had In
structed his generals to deal gently
with Absalom, but one OF them, con-
forming to a message from God, killed
Absalom while he hung suspended by
the hair from an oak tree. While Da-
vid mourned the death of his son all
Israel rejoiced.
Perniclous Doctrine Condemned.
The pastor cited instances of men
who upheld this motto and who finally
went to the penitentiary for dishon-
esty.
THE most pernicious doctrine Of
which know" said Mr.. Muckley, "is
that which teaches a young man
should SOW his wild oats. 1t is because
Of this teaching that we have so many
mental wrecks. The Bible tells us that
which a man sows, 30 shall he reap.
Many fail, just because they have not
prepared In youth for the responsible
ties Of life.
THE parents should teach their chill
dren the secrets of life, rather than
have them learn on the streets.
should favor even the placing Of signs
of warning to young men where traps
exist. AS the United States govern
ment has placed signs of warning at
the entrance OF Do.th Y. Iley-so -s.cs--;id
the welfare board or some other Civic
body place warnings over every house
of death that Is in the pathway OF
our youth.
"The youth and all Of us must have
amusement, but care should be exer-
cised In the selection Of those amuse.
ments. A playing card may look limo
cent enough, but 1t is the tool OF the
gambler. Church people who play
bridge whist lose interest In the church
and set bad examples for others. Any
form OF amusement, such as theaters,
that SCOTS at virtue, is dangerous"
The Madisonian. (Richmond, Ky.) 1913-1914, 1913-07-22

A spiritualist, accompanied by an.
other man who shared the same belief,
was walking in a country graveyard
one night when one Of the men de
clared he saw "shadowy form"
Have you an idea whose ghost II

Increase In Height.

About one-half Of the cities and
practically all Of rural Norway are
under prohibition. To this fact. II is
thought. is due the increase in height
OF recruits to the army between the
years 1880 and 1907. while II is true
that in French districts where the

Calf Disorders.

Bowel troubles in calves are some
times caused by milk that is exces'
sively rich. Milk that is moderate or
low in butter fat is usually better for
young calves. Indigestion in older
calves is usually due to unclean milk
or feed, unclean vessels. close con
finement in dark. insanity stalls,
and irregular or excessive feeding. In
some cases it appears TO be due
mainly to sheer weakness and in
ability TO digest.

My ideas on the tax question have

thing, comes out OF their customers.
