birth to insure good start In life.
Contrary to the. prevailing opinionl
among farmers, the bot which infests
the stomach Of the horse is often
harmful to both young and old anil
mails, and may be especially disdstrousI
to colts. The bot is the larval stagel
of the horse botfly. The botfy repro-I
duces by depositing light yellow, oval
eggs, which are attached by the adult
female to the hair of the legs, breast,
and neck. The eggs hatch; then thei
horse ticks itself and some of the!
mouth into the stomach, where they,
attach themselves firmly to the lining
BY their parasitic tendencies a large
number of bots covering the lining Of;
the stomach damage the interior Of
that organ, prevent digestive action.
remain in such poor condition that
death may ensue. 1t is probable that
many cases of poor condition in horses
thought to be due to worms are really
due to heavy infestation with bots.
A very effective treatment which
will remove bots within "a to 48 hours
is as follows: The day preceding the
treatment small amount of hay and
a moderate amount of oats Is given in
the morning; in the evening food is
withheld and purgative given-Bar-
bados aloes, l ounce; or raw linseed
oil, 1 pint. The day of the treatment,
at o'clock in the morning, give 3
drains of carbon bisulphid in gelatin
capsule; at Z o'clock repeat the dose
in the same manner; and at 8 o'clock
give the third and last dose, making
in all drains of carbon bisulphid in
three geletin capsules.
The above treatment is for the adult
horse. For yearling colt half the
quantity of carbon bisulphid used for
a mature horse will give the desired
results.
II properly administered, the gela-
tin capsule reaches the stomach in
tact, but soon dissolves, and the car
bon bisulphid rapidly evaporates, suf-
locating all bot larvae and other para
sites with which it comes In contact,
but not injuring the horse. Worms
are quite often expelled as well. This
remedy has been used with a large
number of animals, and has proved
successful.

formal call, or the club luncheon, or
the concert, and are bits Of f1nery
which are discernible long before the
wearer's millinery is anything but a
blur
A good example Of a fashionable
shoes is shown in the picture. It is
classed as a "tie," but finished with
buckles, and goes by the pretty name
of the "Mignon" tie. The vamp is Of
patent leather with figured cloth
quarters. One can buy shoes of this
kind with colored quarters, as well as
all black, for manufacturers make
them up with dark blue, green, purple,
gray or brown figured silk cloth with
black vamp and heels.
From the standpoint of economy, the
all-black shoe is the best choice, since
it is dressy enough for any sort OF
dressy wear. But for those who do
not need to consider the item of price,
the colored quarter to match CO.'S
tune is worth considering, even If it's
wear is limited.
Considering all that is embodied in
shoes of this character, the prices
asked for them are not extravagant.
They sell at ten dollars a pair, with
the cut rhinestone buckles included.
They are lined with satin to match
the color of the quarters. The buckles
are an item of considerable expense,
but their usefulness is not confined to
one pair of shoes, or even to shoes at
all. JULIA BOTTOMLEY.

LEPER HAS A PRIVATE CAR
Charles Wolgren Deported by Chi
cago to sweden--Journey Is
Kept a Secret.

Chicago-After a trip Of a thou"
sand miles, riding in state in pri-
vate car that cost the United States
government $3.50, and surrounded with
all the exclusiveness of a millionaire,
| Charles Wolgren, the leper who has
been living in the Cook county hos
pital in Chicago for more than two
months, is on board an Atlantic liner
in New York harbor and will sail for
Sweden, his native land.
His departure from Chicago, his
trip to New York and his removal
from his private car to the steamer
were surrounded with all possible
secrecy, due to the acute fear of
leprosy that dates back many CEN
turtles before the Christian era, and
which today Is much alive in the
United States as it ever was among
the ancients.
Railroad officials were induced to
take the passenger only on the pay
ment of high tariff, and they stipu-
lated that his movements should not
be given publicity.
The governors of six states were
asked to give their permission that
Wolgren cross their respective do
mains. They complied and held their
peace.
Several of the officials of the Cook
county hospital were engaged in the
planning, but Warden w. o. Chap
man was anxious to lose a boarder
who required such extra care and
who apparently might stay a charge
on the taxpayers for years, and he
saw to It that silence was enforced.
Two men were detailed to accom-
pany Wolgren in his private car.
They were George E. Schubert,
deportation officer attached to the
Chicago immigration Office, and G. D.
Creighton, a Cook county hospital
nurse. who acted as attendant.

GETTING SPRING
ONIONS TO FRONT
Fresh Vegetables Put Up in Neat
Packages Are Always in De-
mand in All Big Cities.

By I.AVILIA WRIGHT MACOMBER.)
Having discovered, after several
seasons OF experience, that large size
sets yield better than the small ones
and occupy no more space, we sort
out our small, even sized sets in early
spring and sell to the stores, retaining
all the medium or large left over
onions to set for marketing.
Often grocers who have large
amount OF grown onions left over in
their cellars are glad to get rid OF
them for little or nothing and they
make the best of sets even when the
sprouts are spindled for they soon
straighten out of doors and have near
~ a week the start of those not al
ready sprouted.
We set our onions just as soon as
the ground can be plOwed and roughly
leveled, leaving enough space between
the closely set rows to cultivate with
wheel hoe. A cold snap or light
snow does not hurt them except to
retard growth and we find that the
sets must be placed in the ground and
pushed along for market at the earli-
est possible date to meet the first de-
mands, which, before town gardens
begin to bear, are brisk.
Our onions are placed on the mar
ket as soon as the bulbs begin to
show slightly rounded bottoms and
our customers prefer them at that
stage rather than when the bottoms
are nicely rounded and the onion
flavor more pronounced. The extreme
tips of the bunch only are clipped
to give a heater appearance and they
are tied well down onto the tops that
the string may not cut into the tender
white part.
As our orders are usually sent IN
the day before, the onions are pulled
in the evening and left standing, bot
toms down, in tubs of water over
night. The water loosens the rotten
outside skins which may be easily
slipped down and the roots clipped
tuot too closely or the cut ends VII

sand is cool and the operation fin

SEES BUT ONE SIDE
Old and Conservative Gainesville sun
Joins in Fight for Justice
for the Interior

Gainesville Sun: The enforce
ment OF the law prohibiting a lower
freight rate for a longer haul than
for a shorter distance is optional
with the railroad commission and
the hearing at Ocala was for the pur-
pose OF giving both sides the rail
roads on one hand and the shippers
on the other, an opportunity to be
heard in the matter. The railroads
contend that they have to meet water
competition at jacksonville and
Tampa, or lose the immense freight
traffic to those two points. On the
other hand, and it appears justly so,
people at points between Jackson
Vile and Tampa contend that if the
railroads can transport freight TO
Tampa at a certain profit they can
deliver the same class of freight at
intermediate stations at the same
rate. Certain it is that if the rail
roads are losing money on the freight
business to Tampa. shippers and re-
ceivers of freight at intermediate
points should not be made to make
up this loss 1t would be more in
line of justice for the railroads to
abandon the carrying Of freight to
the place having the advantage Of
water transportation.
Another thing the Sun has never
seen the justice of is the matter of
through rates from the East and
West Take, for instance, Richmond,
Va. The rate on newspaper from the
latter point to Jacksonville is p
cents per one hundred pounds, and
from Jacksonville to Gainesville "A
cents, making the two rates combined
46 cents per hundred, yet the thru
rate from Richmond to Gainesville
is 30 cents per hundred pounds. The
Sun took this matter up with the in
terstate commission and was inform
ed that there was no inequity in the
difference between the two combined
local rates and the higher thru rates,
UuL we nave uSNSI bCSll W al
rive at the Justice of the decision Of
the interstate commission.
The Sun agrees with its contempt
raries in different parts of the state
that interior points are being dis
eliminated against for the benefit of
! points having water transportation,
and believes that after a thorough
| hearing these interior towns will be
afforded something nearer like JUS
tice in the matter of freight rates.
There may be two sides to the
question at issue, but the Sun is I'M
able, from argument so far adduced
to see but one side of it.

CALLED FATHER OF SCIENCE
Truly Wonderful Thinker and In
ventor Was Archimedes, Famous
Through the Centuries.

On December 10 Of the year 212 B.
c. persisted the great Archimedes,
murdered by brutal, ignorant Roman
soldier, as he sat with bowed head in
his house at Syracuse thinking out
the mighty problems of science.
Archimedes was born at Syracuse,
Sicily, B. c. 287, and was therefore. at
the time of his death seventy-flve
years old. He was the greatest man
Of his day, and will ever rank as one
Of the profoundest thinkers and rea-
soners Of all time. In mathematics
and natural philosophy he had no peer
on earth, and it is not too much to
say that he is fairly entitled to be
called the father of science" He
would have discovered the differen-
tial calculus had algebra been known
in his day, and he came very near
doing SO even as 1t was. He antici-
quently worked out by Copernicus.
He laid the foundation of hydrostatics.
He invented the method for the deter
mination of specific gravity. He for
mulated the true theory of the lever
and uttered the ever famous words,
Give me whereon to stand and l will
move the earth" In theoretical me-
chanics no advance was made upon
his ideas during the eighteen centu-
ries between him and Leonardo da
Vinci
1t was Archimedes who invented the
endless screw, the most important me-
chanical contrivance known to science.
From the teeming brain of the old Syr-
acusan came also the idea of the
screw pump, the hydraulic engine and
the burning mirror. He was the Gre
ator of the catapult, the artillery OF
the olden time, whose dreadful bolts
were the terror of ancient armies. He
invented another engine, the ponder
Gus claws of which, reaching over the
walls, lifted up ships and their crews
and then suddenly dropped them into
the sea, while with his great sun
glasses" he was able TO set on fire
such of the enemies ships as could
not be reached with the graphing ma
chine.
1t took the world 1000 years to pro
duce the equal of the mighty intellect
that was brutality snuffed out by the
| blow from the mace of that brutal Ro
| man soldier.
