in charge, and the disappearance of
a second boat, in which were 10 men,
including the first and second officers,
were also reported.
Whether the number of missing was
represented by those said to be in
the second boat, is still uncertain.
Estimates by officials of the Leyland

OF the crew at between 40 and so. The
messages from the Franconia told of
only SO men, represented by the occu.

thought possible that there was a
third boat, commanded by Captain
Mcdonald Of the Columbian.

KILLING WORMS IN HORSES
Good Plan to Keep Mixture Of Equal
Parts of Salt and Hardwood Ashes
Before the Animals.

(By M H. REYNOLDS, Veterinarian,
University Farm, St Paul, Minn.)
Horses have different kinds Of
worms inhabiting different parts OF
the intestines and requiring somewhat
different treatments. There ia no one
specific or best treatment for worms
1t Is a good plan to keep mixture
of equal parts Of salt and sifted hard
wood ashes constantly before horses.
For the white worms six to twelve
inches long, and other common worms
living free in the intestines, try the
following treatment: First give a
mild physic, such as pint to quart
of raw linseed oil. Feed little or no
hay for three days. On the fourth day
give two to three ounces, that is, from
Eve to seven tablespoonful, of tur-
pentine in a pint of raw linseed oil.
Repeat the same dose of turpentine
and linseed oil on the fifth day, and
repeat the whole process beginning on
the fifteenth day from the start.
This dose is for a thousand-pound
horse, and should be given about in
proportion to weight. Judgment
should be used concerning the condi-
ton and strength of the horse and
how easily any particular horse is
affected by cathartic medicines. Never
give severe physic to any horse that
Is thin and weak.

PRUNE YOUNG TREES AT PLANT
ING TIME

Lack of sufficient top pruning i'm
mediately following planting is likely
to result in serious injury and the fire.
quent death of young fruit trees. In
fact, severe cutting back at this time
is regarded as essential to successful
planting by j. G. Moore, horticulturist
at the College of Agriculture, Unfver-
sity of Wisconsin.
The reason for this is that the roots
and tops should be about equal and
in transplanting the roots are always
broken off and cut back making it
necessary to prune the top as well.
When the tree is dug, large portion
of the root system is left in the
ground, and the remaining roots are
the top with food and moisture. It
thus becomes necessary to reduce the
top of the tree to a minimum.
With trees over one year old, the
pruning at planting time will largely
determine the character and form of
the branches of the tree and the height
of head Mr.. Moore declares that in
Wisconsin the open cultured tree is
usually preferred, and this necessi-
tates the removal of the central
branch, commonly known as the GEN.
trail leader. Not more than two or
three branches should be left and
these shauld be well spaced around
the tree and also perpendicularly
along the trunk Eight inches is none
too great space between branches if
suitable ones can be found at this dis
lance.

All immature animals should be kept
gaining in weight through the winter.
They may not carry their fat
through; that is not always profitable;
but they should carry their weight
through, and more What they lose
in fat they should gain in growth, and
make profitable increase-with
steers at least half a pound a day
during the winter months. This does
not necessarily apply to females, un-
less they are being grown for beef.
II they are being grown for milk, it
is not desirable to keep them in too
high condition. Excessive fat and
prolificacy or fruitfulness, are, to some
extent, at least Incompatible.

NUu-T UuUIUnc IInE I
Dayton Ohio.

Several years ago we were cOnv1nc-
ed that the split log drag was the thing
for building and keeping in repair dirt
roads and have since advocated it as
one of the very best implements in ex-
istence for the purpose and we may
have been influential in getting it In
use in some parts of the state. One
man in the town of Burnett, as was
stated in Saturdays Beaver Dam Daily
Citizen, says among other things:
Where road has been acquainted
with this drag it is SO evident to the
passers-by after travelling over split
log drag road that he at once becomes
an ardent supporter and strongly ae-
vocates the use of the drag ever after
wards" The article referred to should
be copied in every paper in Wisconsin
because it is so convincing that there
is no other way that dirt roads can
be built and repaired so cheap and
with so little work. Every body
should try it.-Oakfeld Correspon-
dence in Juneau Independent.

Guard Your Children
Against Bowel Trouble

Many children at an early age
become constipated, and frequently
serious consequences result. Not
being able to realize his own con-
dition, a child's bowels should be
constantly watched, and a gentle
laxative given when necessary.
DR.. Miles Laxative Tablets are
especially we'll adapted to women
Christian Charity, SCI Charles ST.,
Luzerne, Pa, who attend many
cases of sickness say Of them:
'Some time ago we began using Dr.
Miles Laxative Tablets and find that
we like them very much. Their action
Is excellent and we are grateful for
having been made acquainted with
them. We have had good results in
every case and the Sisters are very
much pleased
The form and flavor of any medi
cine is very important, no matter
who is to take it. The taste and
appearance are especially important
when children are concerned. All
parents know how hard it is to give
the average child medicine" even
though the taste is partially dis
guised. In using DR.. Miles Lax
alive Tablets, however, this diff
Guilty is overcome. The shape of
the tablets, their appearance and
candy-like taste at once appeal to
any child, with the result that they
are taken without objection.
The rich chocolate flavor and
absence of other taste, make DR..
Miles Laxative Tablets the ideal
remedy for children.
If the first box fails to benefit,
the price is returned Ask your
druggist. A box of IS doses costs
only rs cents. Never sold in bulk.

Feed for PIas.

Some pigs require more feed than
others, and 1t is not easy to gauge the
daily ration to each. One-third pound
of ground corn is a good proportion,
and little bran or middlings may be
added with a little oilmeal of either
kind. Feeding this carefully, the feed
er will soon see how much should be
given at time; no more than they
will eat is good rule. Bran and mid
dlings are best for brood sows to far
row, and very little cornmeal, but
ground oats may be added to the
bran, about cce-third Of the latter,

why should the citizens bind
themselves with laws? Must law
be made for each growing cock ?"
These questions are contained IN
an editorial in a local paper in dis
cussing Alderman Kohn' resolution
tor the II o'clock closing law.
The editor evidently does not be-
lieve in laws and would not have
the eleven o'clock ordinance passed
because we have enough laws.
That at least is the trend of his ar
eument of column in length. He
discusses the German people stat
ing that the above mentioned ordin-
ance aimed to curb the freedom OF
the German citizens since three
fourths of the people of Watertown
are of German descent. He further
digresses from the subject by say
ing that because a magazine con-
tanned an article which was a re-
Election upon the German people,
the German American Cit S
should protest. But we ask our
brother editor what has this maya
zine with its above mentioned artl-
Gle, to do with the II o'clock clos
ing law of Watertown. He is un-
fair to the. German American cltl-
zens by assuming that the II o'clock
ordinance is a slam at them as a
class. He states that the city
council is composed of Germans
with one exception and asks if they
wish to work hand in hand with
people of the kiss Hobson" vari-
ETY., (prohibitionists.) He con-
tinues "Should such common per-
sons, who have no shame, throw
dirt at the heads of you Germans"
We ask the editor if II o'clock
closing is prohibition. If it is we
fail to see it. He infers that pass
ing this ordinance would make pro-
hibitionists out of the citizens.
How?
The gentleman states that there
are often entertainments which
last longer than II o'clock at which
many farmers attend who leave
their unnecessary wraps at saloons
where they unhitch. He asks if
the saIoonkeeper should throw their
wearing apparel in the street if they
do not return before eleven. We
say no. IF they expect to be gone
longer than II o'clock they can
wear their clothing to the place
they go where they can be taken
care OF.
If there is any good reason why
saloons should not close at II
o'clock we would like to know it.
Such reasons as are mentioned
above are ridiculous and foolish.
We hope the mayor and Alderman
Kohn, who proposed the ordinance,
will have the support of the alder
men at the council meeting tonight.
We sincerely hope that they will
not heed the weighty Cd argument
of this editor that we have enough
laws. We have many ordinances
and will have many more this year.

published notice to the effect that
all dances, the propriety of which
was questionable, would be strict
ly forbidden at dances given by the
Turner's. Their effort to make
their dances clean and moral by
eliminating the rag and other inn
proper dances is to be highly COM
mended and it is hoped that their
efforts will be rewarded with en-
couragement and large attendance.
