MORTGAGED COWS
CAU Sc ARREST
RANCHER LUCAS

V. Lucas, aged %, was arrested
by Deputy Sheriff Hila w. Anderson
this morning at local rooming house
and lodged in the county Jail under
a charge of having sold mortgaged
cows, the complaining witness being
C. F. Mohnike of Heber, who alleges
that Lucas disposed of twelve head
of cows to S. w. Swinnerton, the for
mer being aware at the time that a
mortgage was on the cattle.
Swinnerton is now in the peniten
tiary, having been convicted of steal
ing two calves from Grover Turk, with
other charges pending when he is re-
leased. Lucas, after disposing of the
twelve cows, gave out the idea that
he went to Canada, but it was discov-
cred later that he accepted Seattle as
a residence, returning to Ell Centre
yesterday, when friend of Mr.. Moh-
nike detected his presence here today,
resulting in warrant being sworn
out before Justice of the Peace l.
Mayfield.
Lucas claimed this morning at the
Jail that he had written Mohnike
letter regarding the sale of the cows
and that he felt that he had done
no wrong. While he was being placed
in the Jail, the prisoner broke down
and wept, claiming that he had been
innocent in all the details of the
transaction.

French Grdgoon Tells of Battle
With Germans.
Pomeranian Regiment Makes Desper-
ate Fight to Retain Standard
Sergeant Holds Banner Alone
After Comrades Die.
By WILLIAM PHILIp SHINES.


Paris-Although regimental stand
ards are no longer carried in the fore
front of the battle, modern methods of
warfare have not altogether eliminat-
ed those picturesque fights for the
flag" dear to the heart of the novelist
and painter Most of the French and
German regiments carry their colors
with them, and there have been sew
eral desperate fights for these silken
trophies, the fiercest recorded being
that for the standard of the Sixth
Pomeranian regiment, which now
hangs in the chapel of the Invalides
for the inspection of French sight
seers. The story of its capture is told
by French dragon whose regiment
brought back the trophy.
Under heavy shell fire." he said,
"our guns supporting the Dragons had
to move to another position, and the
enemy, thinking that we were in re-
treat. hurried their advance, the Sixth
Pomeranians coming up at the double.
Suddenly three large shrapnel shells
from their own guns burst over the
regiment. doing terrible execution and
throwing the whole column into con
fusion.
1T was the right moment for us,
and the dragons charged home with
lances. The Germans rallied and
formed into a square, but the volleys
they fired were not sufficient to break
the charge, and we rode over them.
Trampled on by the horses, sabered
and transhxed by the lances. the Ger
mans fed in wild confusion.
zone little group, however, was raj
lied by its officers near a small copse.
We did not realize the motive of their
resistance until we caught sight Of
gold and purple flag fluttering in the
breeze. They had rallied to save their
flag. we rode up to them and shouted
a demand for surrender, but the only
reply was a volley which sent 20
horses cantering riderless back to our
lines. Our officers ordered a charge
in scattering formation, and the gal
liant little group was ridden down.
THE flag fell from the hands OF a

DISEASE OF FOOT AND MOUTH
Trouble Caused by Virus or Germ
That Passes Through Finest Fill.
ter--Protect Healthy Animals

Foot-and-mouth disease has broken
out in several middle West states. 1t
is very contagious and is caused by a
virus or germ that passes through
the finest filter. The germ has never
been seen or cultivated. 1t is spread
by persons who have handled infected
animals, by all classes of live stock,
hay and straw from infected farms,
green hides and fleeces, and by any
transportation agency. Every out
break that has occurred in this coun-
try has been traced to imported in
lection.
The chief symptoms of foot-and-
mouth disease are small waterfalls
ters" or vesicles which develop on the
membrane covering the lips and
tongue. and upon the skin OF the feet
or the Udder, Cattle are most sus-
ceptible to the disease. then follow
hogs, sheep and goats. Persons rare

animals may show symptoms after
two days but sometimes not until u
days after having been exposed. A
moderate fever develops in the first
or second day, Cattle ''slobber" when
eating and dribble long. sticky threads
of saliva from the corners of the
mouth. The animals get lame as a
result of blisters appearing between
the toes. These blisters soon break,
discharge a straw-colored fluid and
leave raw sores which become in
fected with dirt, so that pus forms
In the great majority of cases, re.
| covery will occur if the disease is al
lowed to run its course. The mortality
amounts to less than 1 per cent as a
rule unless complications set in. How
ever on account Of the serious conse-
quences which would follow an uncon-
| trolled outbreak, both federal and
state live stock sanitary authorities
exert every means to stamp out the
disease. All cloven-footed animals on
infected farms are killed and buried
in quicklime. The premises are thor
oughly disinfected and quarantine
rules strictly enforced, Treatment is
out Of the question.
Healthy animals should be pro-
tected in every way possible from
coming in contact with infected OBJ
jects to prevent introduction of the
disease. It is advisable to keep stock
out of the highways and away from
pastures bordering on nain-traveled
roads.
Among the reasons why every eff.
fort should be made to stamp out the
disease at once are the following: 1t
interferes with the sale of animals
both locally and with other states and
countries; 1t brings about the closure
of fairs and stock markets; 1t re-
stricts the supply of milk and beef.
1t behooves every farmer to cooperate
in the fullest way to prevent the fur
ther introduction of the disease into
the state.

ATTENTION TO COLTS FEET
Neglect viii Contribute Largely to
Poor Set Of Legs, influencing Eff
cheney Of Animal.

CBy W. H. PALMER, Ohio College of Ag-
riculture,)
Poor feet and legs found upon the
large majority of horses are due d.
rectly to the lack Of proper care OF
the colts feet. To neglect to see that
the foot grows out evenly is to con-
tribute to poor set of legs which
influence directly the efficiency of the
horse when used later. AS the colt
grows. it may throw more weight on
one side of it's feet than the other.
causing that side to wear faster and
producing an unbalanced condition.
Nature, in her attempt to overcome
this, causes the bones OF the legs to
adjust themselves to this condition, re-
sulting in poorly placed and developed
legs. Then the ADDED weight to one
side may cause the uneven develop
ment of the hoof The ideal foot is
one that is large and round. with the
wall at the quarter sloping the same
on the inside as the outside aud the
heels wide.

HINTS FOR OAIRYMAN
Keep Cows Clean by Careful and
Easy Brushing.
Animals Bred to come-in In Fall Are
In Best Flow Of MIX During Win
ter-keep a Record and Weed
Out Weak Producers.

Keep the old hair brushed off as fast
as it becomes loose and do not allow
the COW to get it mixed with her feed
or get it in her mouth while licking
herself when turned out in the yard.
To some it may seem as an over
refinement to brush COW, but there
is no doubt of its being useful and
beneficial when done in an easy and
careful manner
If cows are bred so as to come-in in
the fall they are in their best flow Of
milk during the winter. BY spring.
when they begin to fall off in milk the
grass comes in to stimulate a larger
flow and they keep it up until time to
be dried off for the next calf. Fhis
gives the nonmilking period at time
in the year when butter and milk are
the lowest.
Don't be afraid to begin feeding
early in the fall if the pastures are
short, for it does not pay TO have COWS
fail in their milk at this time in the
year
The total solids in milk are largely
dependent on the quality of the food
given, while the richness of the in
gradients depends on the breed.
We know little dairy of Is cows
