A FAREWELL PICNIC

An old settlers picnic was held al
the home of Mr.. and Mrs. w. FL
Cowles Tuesday evening at which
time a number of the old residenters
of Audubon met to bid farewell to
Mr.. Il. Bilharz who leaves today for
his home in Los Angeles, Calf. Mr.
Bilharz came here when Audubon
started and continued to reside here
until two years ago. He was closely
identified with the upbuilding of the
community, and il is said of him that
he assisted the early settler more
than any other man in the county.
He still owns considerable land in
Audubon county, and while he is
taking life easy in California, yet he
has warm spot in his heart for the
old town and the large number of
friends with whom he was so closely
associated

Rubber Armor Plate!

If the present war has proved any. thing 1t has proved the inadequacy of the protection afforded by armor plate covering the underwater vital parts of a ship. The armor does not extend sufficiently far below the water line to assure complete protection when the vessel is rolling. and in this re- spect a suggestion put forward by a writer in Popular Science Siftings might be worth serious consideration. Describing an experiment made in 1860 on the recoiling strength of rub Der. he says that piece of rubber two inches thick and a foot square was placed under a steam hammer and a six-inch round shot was placed or it. The hammer fell with tremen- dous force and broke the shot to pieces, the rubber remaining elastic and unimpaired. Results from great explosive force on rubber flooring and buffers have shown that beyond fusing by heat the rubber remained unin- jured, so apparently rubber would make a ship more shot-proof than ar. nor plate.

 To Warrington, Elsa was a little thinner, and of color there was none; but her eyes shone with all the splen- dor of the oriental stars at which he had so often gazed with mute inquiry.

CALLED FOR MUCH ATTENTION
Users Of Quill Pens Had to Be Gn dowed With a Great Deal of
 Patience.

We have complained of our foun. required by quill pens must have proved a severe trial in the days when no others were available, says the London Chronicle. Alexander l of Russia thought 1t necessary to employ man whose sole duty consisted in have a supply of not less than one hundred quills always ready.
 This number was by no means ex. cessive, for Alexander would never use the same pen twice. Even the writ. ing of a signature spoiled a pen, in his opinion, for subsequent use. The quill cutter. who received salary of { $40 year. accompanied the czar in all his journeys. including campaigns against Napoleon.
 Writing implements changed consid erably for the better during Sir Wal ter Gilbey's long spell of life. Though quill pens are still in use," he remarks in his "Recollections of Seventy Years" T remember the time when one seldom saw any other kind Steel pens in their early days were ex. l pensive and i'll made. and few people 1 used them. The paper we had 7C years ago may have been partly te blame; 1t had neither the substance nor the surface we take as a matter oi course nowadays.
 "I remember when enyelopeS came into use, and what a boon they were considered after the old systems oi closing letters with waters or wax Before envelopes were invented letters were always written with an eye tc the position of the wafer or seal, a blank space being left to correspond with the space where this would be put on the outside. lest the written portion should be torn in opening"

Sometimes we escape retribution. but never the law of compensation. Some months ago she wrote me letter. She was always direct. It was just letter"

ATTENTION NEEDED
 BY A SHEEP FLOCK
Keep Pieces Clean and Free From Burs-Furnish Plenty
 of Good, Fresh Water.

If 1t is worth while keeping 8 few sheep, 1t is worth while keeping good ones.
 Remove any members that may be ailing to a place where they can be we'll cared for.
 Don't let the ram run down during the breeding season, and give him good care afterwards.
 Sheep require about the same pas turage acreage, weight for weight, as do cattle; sheep thrive on a shorter bite.
 Keep the sheep's fleece clean and free from burs, if you wish to get the top price of the market for your wool.
 The age at which ram ceases to be useful depends largely upon his inherent vigor, and the amount of service he has to do.
 Grain never gives such large re- turns as when it is fed to young lambs.
 While it is advisable to see the sheep often while they are on pasture, still it is not necessary to stay with them all the time; and good results may be obtained with plenty of good water, salt and feed, and weekly visit, if the dogs do not trouble them.
 If, however, sheep-killing dogs are around, be on your guard with a good shotgun.
 A pen or creep should be so covered as to protect the grain from rains, and should have a trough in 1t, In which the grain should be kept all the time.
 The lambs will grow and thrive wonderfully, and when weaning-time comes, they may be taken away from the ewes without any setback at all.

 Neither of them heard the faint gasp which came from behind the portieres dividing the study and the living room. The gasp had followed the invisible knife-thrusts of these con fidences. The woman behind those portieres swayed and caught blindly at the jamb. With cruel vividness she saw in this terrible moment all that to which she had never given more than passing thought.

EASIER TO PREVENT
 THAN TO CURE ROUP
Most Satisfactory Method En- ployed by Expert Poultrymen
 of Treating Disease.

 ment Station.)

CBy J. C. HALPIN. Wisconsin Experi-
 ment Station.)
 An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure,
 It's the old, old rule and 1t works as we'll with poultry as with anything else
 Prevention, expert poultrymen tell us. is the most satisfactory method of treating roup
 This annoying and wasteful disease can be prevented by keeping the poul- try house dry, we'll ventilated and clean; by forcing the fowls to exercise on cold wet days in deep litter of dry straw; by breeding from strong vigorous birds; by feeding clean and wholesome feeds and by taking every precaution to keep the disease from the farm and flock
 If any of the birds do develop roup or extremely bad colds. they should be removed from the flock and the houses disinfected with a coal-tar dis infectant or a 5 per cent solution of carbolic acid Unless the birds are valuable it is advisable to kill and bury all sick fowls. With all birds that are worth the time necessary to give them individual treatment, the following method will prove success full.
 Thoroughly clean the nostril and eye of all the cheesy material that has collected. Inject into the nostril with a syringe a saturated solution of permanganate of potash and dust bo- ric acid into the eye and nostril. This times day until decided improve ment is noticed when the permanga- nate of potash can be omitted. The boric acid should be continued until the nostrils are dry and all enlarge ment of the eye has disappeared. It attempt to remove the mass that col lects beneath the eye by an operation and if taken in time the other treat ment will prove effective.
 The first symptom of roup h a wa tery discharge from the eye and . thin, yellow discharge from the nos tril. The eye then becomes enlarged due to this material filling up the space around the eye.
 When the first symptoms of cold appear, begin using permanganate of potash in the drinking water. Make up stock solution of the crystals and then pour enough of this in the drink ing water every day to give 1t vio- let or wine color.

There is nothing more profitable to the average farmer than the raising of a few good draft horses" says Dr. c. w. McCampbell, secretary of the state live stock registry board, pro vided he has plenty of pasture and ac- cess to good stallion"
 If good stallion is not standing for service in a community, the man who has at least five or six good farm mares can afford to own his own stall lion and use him as a work horse. A coming two-year-old stallion can be bought for approximately s400 and, taken in hand at this age, he makes an excellent work horse.
 The raising of draft horses is differ ent from that of any other live stock on the farm. Important factors are good food and attention. Good breed ing gives the possibilities. but good feeding is necessary to bring this out to its fullest extent.
 It is better for the man of limited means, believes Doctor McCampbell, to raise horses only as a by-product, because the exclusive raising of draft horses for market requires consider able capital. The returns at first are slow, for draft horses must be six years old before they are ready for market The man who has other cash crops to meet his expenses can afford to wait for the returns from his young draft horses.
The Spectator., 1915-05-14

dinary farm if bred to a good stallion should produce several good colts every year, besides doing the ordinary farm work. To secure the best results the brood mare that does the farm work must be given the best of care and attention.
 The use of silage as horse feed still is a debated question. Some horsemen have used it successfully and others have had disastrous results. All silage fed to horses should be sweet and fresh. Moldy or spoiled silage also is an unsafe feed for horses because of the danger of caus- ing collie. The silage should be made of fairly mature crops, and it should be stored in the silo properly. If you don't speak to the horse ev- cry time you pass behind his heels, you may wake up some morning with skinned head or a broken bone. When a horse hears racket behind him, sometimes he doesn't wait to see what it is. but whacks away at it with both feet.
 Be careful with the colt you are
 breaking this spring Don't try to do it all in one day; if you do you may not only break him to work, but you may break his heart as we'll. Get him used to pulling gradually. It isn't reasonable to expect a colt to go out in the field hitched to a disk or blow and do as much as the old seasoned horsa

 THE ORCHARD TREES
Nature will Take Care of Shade After Intelligent Pruning
 Has Been Done.

Cut out the useless brush in your old trees and give the sun chance to reach every part of them.
 Of course the fruit must have moro or less shade, but nature will take care of that after intelligent pruning has been done.
 When the fruit buds come very thick, most people take it as sign of big yield, but when fruit grows too thickly it must necessarily be very small.
 Experts have no conscience when 1t comes to thinning fruit The way they pick of the buds---often destroy ing four where they leave one--is enough to give nn amateur the shiversA
