BROKEN WIND IS INCURABLE
Any Treatment Given Can Only Be Palllative-Every Dealer Has His
 Specific for Trouble.
(By w. R. GILBERTO

Broken wind is the old-fashioned name given to the chronic lung com. plaint, associated with difficult breath. ing in which, in marked cases, the act of expiration is performed by double effort, inspiration being little, if al all. removed from normal
 We have only to look at a horses flank to see this double effort and ab. dominal breathing, and press his throat with the fingers and thumb- in other words to cough him in order to see if he is broken winded or not.
 The cough is characteristic, spas. modic at first but as the disease ad' vances becomes single, short and sup

pressed. The trouble is incurable, and the treatment, therefore, can only be palliative.
 The difficulty in breathing increases when the stomach and bowels are con- gested with food and water. Both are to be given only in small quantities at a time. Green food and cut grass should be fed at intervals
 The food should always be damp. ened with water. Dusty or burned hay is to be avoided, as are also chopped straw and overripe rye grass.
 It is good plan to mix a quarter of pint of linseed oil with each feed. AS regards medicinal agents, their action on broken wind can only be temporary.
 Every dealer has his specific for this disease. Some give the animal a pound of lard. or any sort of food fat made into balls, while others give a quantity of leaden shot. A subcutaneous injection of morphia many resort to.
 These things do no permanent good. but as the palliative treatment, if care fully carried out, is of great benefit to the poor animal, it may be looked upon as the only treatment for a broken-winded horse.

] I'VE STOCK
CARING FOR YEARL.lNG COLT
There Should Be Gradual Change in Spring From Grain to Grass
 Furnish Some Shelter.

In the spring, when all the work horses must be put to work, it is often problem just what to do with the yearling colt. It goes without say ing that they are, in most cases, sadly neglected. If there are a few green spots showing in the pasture they are turned in there to make their living, and all the attention they receive is an occasional handful of salt.
 This change from their ration of grain and hay to one of grass is pretty likely to cause a considerable setback to the young horse. There should al. ways be gradual change from grain to grass, leaving the grain off entirely by the time the grass has reached it's best.
 The young stock always become un. easy when the grass begins to look green and the spring days begin to warm up mother earth. They should be turned out only for an hour or two at first, and as they become more ac. customed to the grass they can be kept out longer
 During this time their grain and hay ration should be cut down some, if they get enough grass to keep them interested while they are out. In this way their digestive organs will gradu. ally become accustomed to the grass. and there will be no disorders of the intestines when they are turned on the grass to stay If the colts are handled in this manner for week or two it will be safe to turn them out.
 The colts should have some kind of shelter for the first few nights they are in the pasture. They have been used to the barn all winter, and it will be just a little trying on them to re main out in the open on cool, dewy nights. If there is no shelter in the pasture they should be driven to the barn at nights for the first two or three weeks after being turned out.

OPERATORS WERE REQUIRED TO PAY AN ANNUAL LICENSE OF
 $500 AND BOND FOR $1,ooo.
SUPREME COURT so DECIDES
Court Also Held That If 1t Did Not Operate to Suppress Them It Was Revenue Measure, and That
 Ordinance Was Void.
Little Rock.


 The drastic pool room ordinance passed by the Malvern City Council recently was declared null and void by the supreme court. The ordinance required operators of pool halls to pay an annual license of $500 and give $1,000 bond to obey every provis on of the ordinance. It also required pro- prietors of billiard halls to keep a record of every player and to sign a register to be kept for that purpose. The opinion handed down by the su- preme court, stated that the ordinance, while supposed to regulate billiard halls, in fact suppressed them alto gether. It further held that if it did not operate to suppress them. it was a revenue measure, and that the ordi- nance was void on either theory.

A Spraying Manual.

Arkansas has reputation for good apples and peaches, but if our or chardists do not study the art and science of spraying with good deal more zeal our reputation will be lost. Oregon apples are sold in Little Rock at higher price than Arkansas ap. ples and four stores in Arkansas cities keep Oregon and Washington apples to every one that handles Arkansas apples. The Extension Division of the University of Arkansas has just put out remarkable spraying manual that is different from any other ever published. It enumerates the pests and diseases on fruit, vegetables and berries and states the spray to be used. The manual was prepared by Professors Hewitt, Wicks, Becker and Heard of the departments of Plant Pathology, Horticulture and Entomol- ogy of the Arkansas College of Agri- culture. It is manual for the busy orchardist and gardner. It will be sent free on application to the Exten- sion Division, University of Arkansas.

ANCIENTS HAD SHORTHAND
The System Used by Old Romans and Hebrews Was Not Based on Pho
 netics Like Ours

We are told in a recent story, that not only the Romans, but the ancient Hebrews. possessed fine systems of stenography, and that public men took stenographers with them wher- ever they went. This is not true in any strict sense, the New York Mail states. The ancient Romans and Hebrews had systems of shorthand, but not all stenography. Their short hand consisted of abbreviations, the use of letters for words, the introduc- tion of arbitrary systems, and that kind of things. No system of phonet- ic stenography, such as we have at the present day, in which a fluent character represents a certain sound, and in ac- cordance with which the sounds of hu- man speech can be transcribed as they are uttered, was known to the an clients. The shorthand system invent ed by Giro, the secretary of Cicero, is we'll known; it has no phonetic ba- sis. Two amanuenses were neces- sary to keep up with a speaker, and there are even tales that Caesar kept six amanuenses going at once. It is certainly long jump from that to the handy girl of today, whose swift pen cil easily keeps up with a mans ut terances.
 Few people at the present day have any just or correct understanding of phonetics. The average person con- fuses the names of letter of the al- phabet with the sound which it is SUD- posed to represent, fails to distinguish between diphthongs like long 'i" and the simple vowel sounds. and in many ways betrays the fact that he is quite without a phonetic sense. The teach ing of stenography has spread a knowledge of phonetics, and in the long run must produce much more general realization of the ridiculous ness and wastefulness of our present system of spelling the English lan- guage.

Bath Houses for Miners.

Shower bath houses for Arkansas miners are probability as the result of recent inspection trip in western Arkansas by Deputy Labor Commis. sioner E. I. Mckinley and Dr. c. w. Garrison, state health officer, Dr. Gar rison said.
 Mir Mckinley recommended that bath houses be built at all mines. The operators at a conference with Dr. Garrison at Van Buren, asked him to prepare plans for suitable bath houses and to submit them at the next meet ing of the operators. Dr. Garrison sad the operators seem willing to build the bath houses.

ALPINE GRANDEUR AMAZING
Nature Has Wrought Great Changes to Uplift Their Magnificent
 Peaks-Volcanic Work.

Nothing in the worlds history is more impressive than the story of the Alps. Ten or twelve million years ago, possibly far more, long unseen line of weakness, crack or Assure in the earth's crest, stretched away from France eastward hundreds of miles. On this line followed huge vol canic outbursts.
 Next ensued vast slow subsistence, which went on through geologic epochs until where Mont Blanc now rears it's summit 15,7S0 feet was sea fringing an old continent. Large riv- CTS emptied into it. Deposits of mud, as the sinking went on until the layers became 50,000 feet, or nearly ten miles. thick.
 Then at last commenced great uplifting; the struggling subterranean forces raised huge load. For ages crushed, contorted, rose above the wa ters and continued to rise, forming lines of mountain chains and making Switzerland tableland.
 Every hour since then rain and snow, river, glacier and avalanche have been sculpturing into peaks and carving into lakes and valleys that vast platform with its recent sedi- mentary covering and primeval gran ite core.
 The result is A land of uneoualed grandeur.

Task Confronts Farm Agents.

Few states in the South and no state in the north can equal Arkansas in the number of county agricultural agents now at work, as this state has 55 of these men employed in 50 of 75 counties. It is impossible to esti- mate in dollars and cents what these men are worth to the agriculture of Arkansas. One farmer said recently that the agent in his county had been worth in one year to his county not less than a quarter million dollars. The duty of faithful county agricul- tural agent are numerous, and he nev- CT can guess on Monday morning the variety of his problems for the week.
