Neglected Fruit Trees.

Neglected fruit trees are not worth
the ground they occupy; besides they
are an eyesore TO everyone, and when
infested with worms and insects they
are a constant menace TO the neigh.
borhood. There ought to be laws
prohibiting any man from allowing
trees OF this kind to remain on his

Gull Closely.

Many farm poultrymen do not Gull
down their nocks nearly az closely az
they should. The chief reason for
this neglect is doubtless that on the

Says.
A NEAR FAMINE HERE

The quarantine at the Keokuk and
Hamilton bridge placed yesterday by
DR.. O. w. Rowe. under direction Of the
state veterinarian Was today raised
Il certain shipments OF hay and straw
rom the Illinois side to this county.
Under the regulations now existing,
hay and straw may be shipped to this
city from Illinois provided the ship
ment is accompanied with an af-
fidavit that the hay or straw was not
raised within fifteen miles of any
Illinois district that has been quaran-
tined for the foot and mouth disease.
On account Of the shortage of hay
and straw here, which amounts al
most to famine, DR.. Rowe took I'D
the matter Of shipping these supplies
here under certain restrictions. J. J..
Gibson, state veterinarian, wrote to-
day that the shipments OF hay and
straw would be permitted. but pro-
hibited the shipment Of cattle, hogs,
sheep, and all butcher stuff'' across
the bridge from Illinois here.
The letter from DR.. Gibson to DR..
Rowe follows:
DR.. o. D. Rowe,
Keokuk, Iowa.
Dear Sir: l have yours OF the 3rd
Inst, regarding the supply Of hay for
your city, and stating that there Is
some baled and stored across the riv-
err.
l am willing to leave this matter t.
your Judgment, but you might require
them to state just where this hay
was grown and harvested, and, If you
think it is safe. you can permit them
to use it in Keokuk. What you would
need to be particular about is the
feeding OF this hay to any animals
which might be susceptible to disease.
and for this reason am leaving the
matter in your hands SO you can SUI
pervise the sale of this hay for your
town.
n AS to butcher stuff, | would much
prefer that you did not allow any OF
1t to come acress, SO be sure and give
these matters the attention they de-
serve, and charge your per diem TO
the state.
Very truly yours,
