The examination Of the teeth Is

that II a horse has bad teeth 1t will

After all other examinations have

horses badly affected with the heaves.
A sharp gallop Of from 100 to zoo

methods are sometimes necessary as a
test for heaves. Certain drugs and
modes Of feeling will be detected In
only one manner, namely, coughing

FRANCIS JOSEPH
A Short Sketch Of the Emperor Of tho
Austrians.


Austrians.
The oldest monarch in the world,
belonging to the oldest reigning house,
has Just celebrated his 85th birthday.
Francis Joseph was born on August
IS, 1880, when Andrew Jackson was
serving his first term as president Of
the United States. AS boy Of 1S he
exclaimed, Goodbye, my youth" and
was crowned emperor Of Austria, 80
long ago as when Polk was president,
and the Mexican war was coming to
it's conclusion. In 1867 the dual con-
stitution was adopted, and the young
man of 81 became king Of Hungary,
and then Andrew Johnson was in the
midst Of his term. This country has
had twenty-eight presidents. and
Francis Joseph has lived through the
terms Of all but six Of them, and his
reign has covered the administrations
Of all but ten. He Is older than Vic
toria was when she died and has
reigned longer. Louis XIV reigned
ONcl yCoiot
but he began as a child Of S.
The first Hapsburg emperor dates
back to 1878, and for 1000 years the
house has been called "a plaything Of
misfortune" The present emperor
came to the throne by abdication and
entered upon legacy Of hatred and
suspicion. His favorite brother, Max
imilian, was shot in Mexico; the EN-
press Carlotta survives him as luna
tic; the Archduke Ladislaus was shot
in the hunting field; the Archduke
Johann was drowned; the Crown
Prince Rudolph died in the tragedy Of
.,yerling; the Empress Elizabeth, his
own queen, was assassinated, and his
sister was burned to death in the
charity bazar fire in Paris. His de-
feats at Solfernio and Magenta lost
Francis Joseph the province of Lom-
hardy, and his defeat at Sadowa cost
him his prestige Of Venetia. And fin
ally the crime which precipitated the
present war was the assassination of
the heir apparent and his wife at Sar-
ajevo in June, 1914.
Francis Joseph will be held to be
one Of the most remarkable men Of
history. Not gifted with genius he
has acquired rare quality Of wisdom
which has helped him through many
critical epoch. He has ruled an
enormous territory, with seven dis
tinct people and several separate
kingdoms and parts Of kingdoms and
the Hungarians, Slavonians, Czechs,
Germans, and the rest, have been held
together by single tie, allegiance to
:he house Of Hapsburg. Even Victo-
ria occupied no higher place in the af-
fections Of her united people. The
personal popularity Of Francis Joseph
has proved again and again to be
stronger than the elements tending to
disrupt the empire. This wonderful
old man has kept his health by life
of scrupulous regularity and temper

His Mistake.

He moved up to the city
When he'd made his little pile;
Built house and had a garden.
Dressed his girls in city STYLE
He read the city papers,
And ate the city food;
His wife joined half dozen clubs,
His boy became a dude;
But he left his religion in the country.
He took a dab at politics,
The city kind, Of course;
He bought a high-powered auto;
1t was faster than the horse.
He had box at opera
And a lot Of gilt-edge stock;
Built the bank right in the center
OF the city's finest block!
But he left his religion in the country.
The church just around the corner
Was the other brand from his:
So he visited the movies
Or spent Sunday at his "biz."
And he laughed at Sunday laws,
While his boys went to the mischief.
And his girls were lost-because
He had left his religion in the coun-
try.
And when he took his journey
To the place where all men stand.
He walked up to the Golden Gate
AS though he owned the land.
Il know you're from the city,"
Said st. Peter with a sigh;
And I'm sorry I must tell you
This is once you can't get by,
For you've left your religion in the
country"

tian Herald.

Ii Spells Success.

We have said considerable about
a cooperative creamery for Jerome,
and we propose to say more. as we
feel that the establishment of such
an institution in this place means
success for the dairyman and the con-
sequent betterment of all branches of
trade. Some there are who are
credulous about the success of CO.
operative creamery. and we would re-
fer thee to the following report
which we take from the Monticello
Uowa) Express, published at the for
mer home of the editor of this paper,
and where we witnessed the starting
of this particular creamery in compe-
tition with probably the largest
creamery company in the United
States. Its continued success is am
pie evidence of what can be done with
creamery under proper and careful
management:
The Farmers Cooperative Cream
cry Co. will build new creamery
during the coming summer which
will cost from $4,000 to $4,000.
The plans for it have already been
prepared by c. |. Van Meter. The
building will be 5OxS2 feet in size and
will be constructed of hollow tile and
brick. 1t will be built in accordance
with all modern sanitary require
ments and will have complete and
adequate refrigerating plant, thus
doing away with the handling of ice
The Farmers Creamery Co has been
very successful. Its original organic
alton was effected without capital
stock, on a plan that has since been
largely used throughout the state
In addition to promptly paying fol-
the original plant from the business
the creamery has always led all 9th
ers in this part of the state in the
prices paid for butter fat. The farm
ers have very sensibly followed the
plan of selecting an efficient and bust

was given the power to work will

ference. The results have been salts

couraged.

ment of the meeting to show this del

to be installed in any farmers orch

time required for evaporation OF
various fruits and the cost of steam
