Special 70 Times-Republican.
Des Moines. Nov. 25.-The Iowa de-
partment OF justice is highly pleased
with the ruling of Hon. Hobert Lewis,
United States district judge. in the
federal court at Denver Colo. in which
he held the bridge patent claims OF
Daniel 3. Luten were not valid. The
points involved were exactly the same
as those in the case now pending in
the federal court here, the attorney
generals office says.
The ruling of the Colorado judge is
sweeping, in the opinion of Assistant
Attorney General Henry E. Sampson
who is fighting Luten claims in the
court here, Mr.. Sampson secured
copy of the decision from the Colorado
court
The decision declares that Luten in
these patents made application oil
mere mechanical knowledge and skill
and that what he did is in no sense
demonstration OF inventive genius
This was also the opinion of the eN-
pert witness who appeared in the case.
In his ruling the judge further said:
belief and conclusion that each and
all of compliments tLutens) claims
were unpatentable a. the time he made
his several applications, and also at
the two times prior to applications
when he claims that he first. within
two years prior to such applications,
made practical use of the claimed in
ventions in those two instances. The
prior patents as anticipations and the
the prior patents and publications as
showing the then state OF the art led
10 the clear conviction that complaint
In each instance only made application
Of mere mechanical knowledge and
skill"
These are exactly the points which
are involved not only in the case here
but in many other cases the attorney
generals office says. Luten has 400
claims like this. it is said.
The supreme court yesterday at
frmed the lower court in the case OF
the Providence Was hington Insurance
Company against the Iowa Telephone
Company at Davenport. in which the
lower court ruled that the telephone
company was not liable for damages
for an alleged failure to turn in FIRE
call promptly. The lower court held
that the evidence did not prove that
the telephone company was not prompt
in turning in the call and the higher
court sustained this. The case arose
out Of a fire which burned the auto
mobile and barn OF j. T. Hulier.
Big plans are being made for the

gested quietly, that you are both over

The militiaman seemed to have for
gotten the existence of his distin-
guished kinsman, and, at the voice, his
eyes came away from the face of the
man he had not wanted to capture, and
he shook his head.

TASK OF DEHoRNING CATTLE
Operation Is Most Frequently Per.
formed to Prevent Animals From
lnjuring Each Other.

Cattle have been dehorned since
about 1890. The operation sometimes
is performed to remove horns that are
broken or otherwise injured. but most
frequently 1t Is to prevent horned ami
mails from injuring one another. Usu-
ally 1t is considered justifiable on ac-
count Of the benefits that are derived
from the operation.
The growth of horns on calves may
be prevented entirely by the liberal
use of a strong solution of ordinary
I've; or IL the use of solution is not
desirable 1t can be purchased at drug
stores in the form of sticks known as
caustic potash. This should be ap-
piled Immediately after birth to the
place where the horn makes its ap
pearance. Care should be exercised
when using this remedy because the
I've will eat away all the skin with
which 1t comes in contact.
Various kinds of instruments are
used for the removal Of the horns OF
older animals. II an ordinary saw is
used it should be sharp and fine, as
this lessons the danger OF splintering
the bones of the head during the oper-
alton. II large number Of animals
are dehorned. quicker and safer work
can be done with "dehorning in.
strument." This can be purchased
of any veterinary supply company for
S7 IN IN S10
II is best not to dehorn during the
fly season. Sometimes the horn is
cut close to the head and cavities are
opened which become filled with mag,
gots If flies are prevalent. The ami,
NAL suffers intensely. II this happens,
and there is a rapid loss in condition.
II cavities are accidentally exposed
a small piece Of cotton. smeared with
tar, may be applied to the wound and
held in place by means of a bandage
around the head. This also is of great
value II excessive bleeding follows the
operation. II maggots gain entrance
to the cavities of the head they should
be washed out with a weak, watery
solution of ordinary dip.

abundance of different feeds to make
up for this dry or inferior feed.
OF course the flow of milk cannot
be kept up to what they give during
the spring and summer when pastured,
but with plenty of first-class hay, such
as alfalfa and good clover, and fine
feed of bran and corn meal kept on
hand that 1t may be fed literally two
or three times a day as Stops, there
will not be so much decrease in the
milk supply after all. That is, If it is
given to them literally and regularly.
Do not think 1t is a waste to feed
such feed when there isn't anything
but dry hay Of some kind to feed on.
On the latter, the COW can barely
maintain her flesh. much less keep up
the milk supply.
When we have good clover hay and
alfalfa, not so much of the bran, fine
feed or meal is required, as both. when
cured properly, are very strong feeds
and cattle thrive on them.
! am not going to attempt to give
the amount that should be fed, as l
leave that for the dairyman to decide
for himself. What wish to impress
upon the readers mind is this: The
necessity of having on hand always a
liberal supply of bran, meal, fine feed,
etc, to go with the dry hay or corn
fodder, which is generally of an in
ferior quality, fed at this season of the
year.
Without the above feed mentioned,
1t is impossible for the dairyman to
obtain good results during the season
when cattle are not pastured.

all, they were as much partisans as
they had been before they were issued
state rifles. The battle, If it came,
would be as factional as the fight of rs
years ago. when the Hollmans held
the store and the Souths the court.
house. But back of all that lay one es.
sential difference, and it was this diff.
ference that had urged the governor
to stretch the forms of law and put
such dangerous power into the hands
of one man. That difference was the
man himself. He was to take drastic
steps, but he was to take them under
the forms of law. and the state execu'
tive believed that, having gone through
worse to better, he would maintain the
improved condition ~
Early that morning, men began to
assemble along the. streets of HiXon;
and to congregate into sullen clumps
with set faces that denoted a grim
unsmiling determination. Not only the
Hollmans from the town and immedi'
ate neighborhood were there, but their
shaggier, fiercer brethren from remote
creeks and covers, who came only at
urgent call, and did not come without
intent of yindicating their presence
Old Jake HOLMAN, from "oyer yon" on
the headwaters of Dryhole creek,
brought his son and fourteen-year-old
grandson, and all of them carried Win
chcsters. Long before the hour for
the courthouse bell to sound the call
which would bring matters to crisis
women disappeared from the streets,
and front shutters and doors closed
themselves. At last, the Souths began
to ride in by half-dozens. and to hitch
their horses at the racks. they also
fell into groups well apart. The two
factions eyed each other somberly'
sometimes nodding or exchanging
greetings, for the time had not yet
come to fight. Slowly, however, the
Hollmans began centering about the
courthouse. They swarmed in the
yard, and entered the empty Jail, and
overran the halls and offices of the
building itself The Souths, now COM
ing in a solid stream, flowed with
equal unanimity to McEwer's hotel,
near the square, and disappeared in
side. Besides their rifles, they carried
saddlebags, but not one of the uni
forms which some of these bags con-
tanned, nor one Of the cartridge belts,
had yet been exposed to view.
Stores opened, but only for a desul-
tory pretense of business. Horsemen
led their mounts away from the more
public racks, and tethered them to
back fences and willow branches in
the shelter of the river banks, where
stray bullets would not find them.
The dawn that morning had still
been gray when Samson South and
Captain Callomb had passed the Mil
Ter cabin. Callomb had ridden slowly
on around the turn of the road, and
waited quarter Of mile away. He
was to command the militia that day,

MOST NATURAL OF QUERIES
