Great Excitement
Over Man Who
Entered King Home

Anderson avenue was thrown into
a state of intense excitement one
afternoon recently when an un-
known man, a big, burly Italian, was
seen to go into the home of Mrs.
King, who lives almost opposite the
Bailey Millards. Mrs. Millard was
seated on the front porch of her home
when she saw the man try to enter
the house by the side door, and fail
ing in this he came around to the
front door and went in that way. No
one was seen to meet him at the
door, and interest was soon centered
in what the man was there for. He
remained a long while, half an
hour or more, and then the neigh
bors began to imagine all sorts of
things. Finally Mr. Millard went
over and found the front door locked.
He next tried the side and rear doors,
and not one was open. He rang the
bell, but no one answered. Then he
called loudly to Mrs. King. All
silence.
Consulting with one of the neigh
bors, it was decided to ring the front
door bell again, loud and long, which
was done, but no answer came, and
the Wonderment was all the more in
tense. All sorts of suggestions were
made, and finally it was decided to
call aloud for Mrs. King again. This
| was also done, but no response came
| from within, and the Wonderment got
worse and worse. A consultation
1 lDIl I@A, M
Hoke, Mr.. Nourse and several others.
1t was finally decided to force an en-
trance to the house as last resort,
| because the house had been watched
carefully from the time the man was
| seen to enter and he was still there,
it being known to be impossible for
him to have escaped without being
seen.
| But before forcing an entrance it
was decided to make final effort
to call Mrs. King. So several loud
calls were made from all sides of the
house, and pretty soon Mrs. King
put her head out of the attic window
and looked down on some score or
more of her neighbors.
"Are you all right, Mrs. Kling?'
asked Bailey Millard, spokesman for
the party
eyes, of course, I'm alright. What
do you mean? What is the mat
ter?" she replied.
"Well, we saw a man enter your
house about an hour and half ago,
and not knowing what he wanted,
and he not coming out again, we con-
cluded he might be an intruder, so
we have had the house surrounded
to see that he did not get away"
"Well, upon my life!" exclaimed
Mrs. King. "This man has been
working for me one day week for
several years. | have had him at
work in the attic, and did not hear
your calls, nor did l know anything
at all of your anxiety. There is no
trouble whatever The man was
merely cleaning up the attic and I
was directing him up there what to
do with things"
The party had hearty laugh at
themselves and all went home to en-
| joy the joke.

Railroads, with wooden rails, were
first used in 1872 at collieries cast
iron rails were first used in 1888. An
iron rail nailed to wooden sleepers
was first used in 1776, and the pres
ent idea of rails and wheel adapted
to each other was invented in 1888.
The first locomotive was built by
Richard Trevithick in 1904, but the
first locomotive after the modern
idea was built by George Stephenson
in 1929. The idea of the construc-
tion of a locomotive was given to the
world by James Watt in 1863, and
patented by him in 1884.
The steamboat, now indispensable
to the navigation of rivers and lakes
and for ocean travel, was invented by
Robert Fulton, an American, who
conceived the idea in 1893. He built
the first vessel, the Clermont, in 1907,
the first successful voyage being up
the Hudson River from New York to
Albany.

Local members of the young Old
Guard Republicans gathered at Car
ney Hall, the lesser, on Monday the
eve of Primary Day, to have final
pow-wow on the election. Big Chief
Sears was in the chair. About fifteen

This is the one subject just now that
will not profit any man to volun-

PROPER TIME TO WEAN COLT
Youngster Should Sc Accustomed to
Eat Hay and Grain Before Re-
noval-Put Mare on Dry Feed.

TIE colt should be allowed to re-
main with the mare until 1t has be
come accustomed to eat grain and
hay before it is weaned In nearly
all cases 1t will be best to feed the
mare for at least several weeks be
fore the colt is removed with ground
oats and wheat bran.
Give the mare roomy, well-bedded
box stall, SO the colt can eat beside
her. This is one of the easiest and
quickest ways of teaching the colt to
eat
Give the colt good blue grass and
white clover pasture, but put the mare
on dry feed This will help to dry
zip her milk without causing a swollen
udder
While 1t is not necessary to par.
ticulsrly push the growth of the colt.
It Is very essential that steady
growth be maintained and generally
1t will pay to feed q little grain, un-
less the pasture is unusually good
Ground oats and wheat bran, say one
to two pints per day. fed dry will pro
mote growth OF bone and muscle and

Corn is not suitable food for a

TASK OF DEHORNlNG CATTLE
Operation Is Most Frequently Per.
formed to Prevent Animals From
Injurin9 Each Other.

Cattle have been dehorned since
about 1890. The operation sometimes
Is performed to remove horns that are
frequently 1t is to prevent horned AMI
mails from injuring one another. Usu-
ally 1t is considered justifable 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 4 strong solution OF ordinary
lye; or il the use of solution Is not
desirable it can be purchased at drug
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
ilye 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 1t 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
$3.50 to $40.
1t 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 II flies are prevalent. The AMI
NAL suffers intensely. If this happens,
and there is a rapid loss in condition.
If cavities are accidentally exposed
small piece of cotton. smeared with
tar. may be applied to the wound and
held in place by means of bandage
around the head. This also is of great
value II excessive bleeding follows the
operation. If maggots gain entrance
to the cavities of the head they should
be washed out with weak, watery
solution Of ordlncrY dip.

FEEDING ALFALFA TO SWINE
No Getter or More Practicable Method
Known Than That Of Giving Hay
to Animals In Rack.

There does not appear to be any
more practicable method of grinding
hay for hogs than by feeding the hay
via good rack.
A few years ago some enthusiast
wrote story about alfalfa tea. which
he said was the finest thing on earth !;
that the tea extracted all the animal
food in the alfalfa and at the same
time left the plant food for the soil.
By giving the tea to the hogs they
would gain their weight, and then you
could scatter the stewed alfalfa back
on the land. The story found its way
into one OF the eastern publications
and the western experiment stations
have been locded with inquiries ever
since.

WINTER FEED FOR THE COWS
Abundance of Different Feeds to

During the winter months 1t Is gen.

food as is necessary for the dairy COW
to keep up the regular How of milk
At this season OF the year feed is
generally scarce-the proper kind for
the dairy cow-and that which we
have on hand is often Of an inferior
quality.
After coming off the green fresh
grass they do not relish such dry feed
and being of an inferior quality one
will soon notice great decrease in
the flow of milk.
For this reason It is very important
for the farmer to try to provide an

Deafness Cannot Ee Cured

There is only one way to cure deafness

when it is entirely closed, Deafness is
the result. and unless the inflammation
can be taken out and this tube restored

sTEREOPTICON LOAN LIBRARY
Novel Educational Methods Of the
L. s. Public Health Service.

The U. S. Public Health Service
believes that education is the road to
sanitary progress To this end 1t has
established stereoptican loan IL
brary, probably the first of its kind,
which is daily sending out slides
upon the request of sanitarians, edu-
Gators, and other persons interested
in the PRONUNCIATION of the doctrine
of personal hypiene and public
sanitation.
The officials Of the Nebraska State
Fair desired to stage a series of pop
ular lectures on hygiene and santa
ton They applied to the Surgeon
General of the United States Public
Health Service for slides The slides
were packed and shipped, and when
the lectures shall have been given
they will be re-packed and returned
to the Surgeon General.
The stereoptican loan library COW
ers wide range of subjects, from
low fever There are special collec-
lions on the diseases OF children,
hookworm, leprosy, malaria, milk
production. mouth hygiene, pellagra
plague. rural schools, smallpox, trop-
ical diseases, tuberculosis, and ~
phoid fever Each of the sets is in
duplicate and in the case of the more
frequently used slides there are sew
eral sets. so that the applicant will
not be disappointed in his selections
Not only are the services of the stere-
opticon loan library utilized by many
private individuals, but the officers
OF the public health service and state
and local health officials throughout
the country are making use OF this
logical system of public health edu-
cation.
