He has been known to the Russian

nine LITTLE DRINKS
Standing in a Row; Fined by Judge
Yates and Told to Go.

A sad morning after VS. enacted in
police court this morning.
Nine plain, unauthorized drunkS
were lined up before Judge Robert NJ.
Yates just at o'clock this morning.
The judge surveyed the lot and asked
them all this question::
Were you drunk?''
All decided that they had been ex-
cept one-Fred Ashland he did not
know whether he had been drunk or
not. He admitted that he had con-
sumed a pint of the brand of whisky
that is sold in the bottoms"
Do you think a pint of that stuff
would make you intoxicated ?" asked
Judge Yates.
We'll, I expect I was anything but
sober" admitted Ash. So the Judge
plastered a IS fine on him.
The other eight were fined SIS each
and told to leave the bad whisky alone
while visiting the fair.

HEAT WAVE UNDATED
Temperature TrifIe Lower in East, But
Humidity STILES.

New York, Sept. 17.-Although the
temperature was from one to two de-
grees lower during the morning hours
today than yesterday, there was vir-
tually no relief here from the heat
owing to a marked increase in the
percentage of humidity.
At s o'clock the temperature was 10,
the same as yesterday. BY II O. clock
it had risen to 81, two degrees lower
than the day before. The weather
bureau predicted the temperature to-
day would not go to IS, yesterday
maximum, but the hot weather will
continue today and tomorrow, with no
appreciable relief in sight.
Weather conditions throughout New
York and New Jersey are about the
same.
Showers have fallen in the great
lake region, but the temperature there
remained about the same.

CITY SIGNS UP
Another Step Toward the Paving of West
Tenth Avenue.

The West Tenth avenue road is to be
paved from Washburn avenue, the western
limits of the city, to the west line of sec
ton 81, township II, range 10, which is
the first crOss-road west of the Catholic
cemetery. At least those behind the move
ment believe they will have no difficulty
in securing the signatures of the required
number of property owners. To help the
plan along, the city commission has au-
thorized Jay E. House, mayor, to sign the
petition in behalf of the city. The pro-
posed paving runs along the south side
of Gage park.
The road proposed is to be of crushed
rock or macadam, for base and to have
an asphalt surface eighteen feet wide. The
crushed rock of the base will also contain
asphalt, being mixed in what is called the
penetration method

Brownsville, Sept. IA United
States cavalry patrol was fired on to-
DAY near Brownsville city limits from
the Mexican side of the river. About
500 shots were fired from the Mexican
side
The cavalrymen had gone to the
river to investigate the shooting of a
Mexican horse on the American side.
The cavalarymen, lying in the brush,
replied to the fire, but could not see
Mexican side. They merely fired in
the direction whence the bullets came.
Friendly MeXicans Menaced.
The town of San Jose, twenty-five
miles up the Rio Grande from here, a
settlement composed exclusively of
Mexicans, today appealed for the pro-
lection of American soldiers. Col.
Robert L. Billiard, at Harrington, or
dered a guard to get to San Jose, land
to get there at once"
The appeal of the MeXicans for pro-
lection is an entirely new development
in the border situation. San Jose men
said they were all good Mexicans"
there and that they needed protection
as much or more than Americans.

command, the Twenty sixth infantry,
discovered twice yesterday. Near
Sebastian, late yesterday evening, four
or five men of the Twenty-sixth in
fantry saw an equal number of Mexi-
cans through the open spaces in the
brush at some distance. The Ameri-
clans opened fire, meanwhile ad-
vancing on the Mexicans. This
maneuver exposed the soldiers to the
direct open fire from their partly con-
cealed opponents, for there was no
available coNer behind which they
might creep upon the Mexicans, ex-
cept some varieties of slim bushes, all
bearing long thorns. The Mexicans
ran when they saw the soldiers were
determined and they escaped in the
darkness which came soon after the
fight began.
The other appearance of bandits
yesterday was near Los Fresnos,
where about fifteen were SEEN The
Sebastian and Los F'resnoS bandits
evidently were different organizations.

TREATING HORSE FOR THRUSH
Hoof Should Be Trimmed Properly,
Diseased Parts Removed and
Strong Disinfectant Applied.

(By M. RI. REYNOLDS. Minnesota Elk
pertinent Station.)
Thrush in horses feet is frequently
caused by standing in filth. This
changes the texture of the hoof and
infection follows Continuous stand
ing on very dry floors may also cause
this trouble, while in some cases it IS
apparently caused by contraction
of the hoOf.
When the horse is shod with high
heel and toe calks or the wall OF the
hoof is allowed to grow very long and
the horse stands on hard floor so that
there is no pressure on the frog OF
the foot, the condition of the frog is
impaired and it becomes subject to
infection and disease. Cases of thrush
need a dry. clean stall.
Trim the hoof properly, remove the
diseased parts and apply strong dis
infectant over the sole of the foot.
ANY of the coal tar disinfectants may
be used full strength. Pure carbolic
acid may be used, care being taken
that it does not run down the heel and
burn the skin.
After the first strong disinfectant,
calomel should be busted over the dis
eased surface and some thick clay ap-
piled to the entire SOLE

BEST RATION FOR THE PIGS
Economical to Make Use of All Avail.
able Skim Milk-Furnishes
Necessary Protein.

In making up ration for pigs, it is
economy to make the best use of the
skim milk available. Experiments
have proved conclusively that where
sufficient skim milk is available to
furnish the protein content of the
ration to balance up corn, it is not
necessary for good economy to feed
any kind of high protein concentrates
to growing pigs.
The proper proportion in which to
feed skim milk and corn for the best
results, is from one to three pounds
~of the skim milk to one pound of corn
meal, using the larger proportion of
milk when the pigs are young, and
gradually increasing the amount Of
corn meal in proportion to milk used.
For young pigs, the ration will be
very materially benefited by the ad-
dition of c liberal portion of middlings,

which is a wellbalanced feed for pigs.
1t is a difficult matter to estimate the
amount of feed which will be required
by 80 pigs up to August l, as very
much depends upon the capacity OF
the pigs to make rapid gains.
On good rape or alfalfa pasture,
however, no more than $50 to 400
pounds of grain, or its equivalent.
should be required for 100 pounds OF
gain. The value of skim milk can be
reduced to a grain basis by figuring
$50 pounds of skim milk to equal 100
pounds of grain when fed with corn
in the proportion above advised.
Figuring upon this basis, it will not
be difficult to estimate approximately
the amount of feed which will be re-
quired for the time mentioned.

WORKING Brood Mares.

If mares are kept at light work the
last few weeks they are benefited by
being worked right up to foaling time.
Brood mares are injured by severe
work which requires them to strain or
over-exert. Backing heavy loads is
not suitable task for mares heavy In
foal. In most years enough mares
will miss getting in foal to take care
of the heaviest work. They are best
off if rested for ten days of couple
of weeks after foaling.
