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.
1t is a good plan to mix quarter
of a 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
pound of lard, or any sort of food fat
made into balls, while others give a
quantity of leaden shot A simultaneous
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.

GIRL ADMITS MURDER
WIFE OF SENATOR'S NEPHEW AL
LEGGED TO HAVE CONFESSED.
Police Claim Mrs. Katherine v. Har-
rison of Texas Says She Killed
Man Who Wronged.

Fort Worth, Tex, Feb. 28.-Mrs.
Katherine Vance Harrison. fifteen
year-old bride of Charles Harrison,
nephew of United States Senator
Charles Culberson of Texas, was re-
leased with her husband after they
had given $1,000 bail each to answer
charges of murder fled against them.
The police said Mrs. Harrison had
confessed that she shot and killed
w. R. Warren, hotel proprietor,
claiming that he had wronged her be-
fore her marriage.
Warren's body was found, riddled
with bullets, at the side of a, country
road near here, December %. There
were few clues to the identity of his
slayer.
On Saturday an arrest was made in
the case and much excitement en-
sued, which was succeeded by the
greater sensation caused by the pO-
lice announcement that Mrs. Harrison,
to clear the suspected man, had adj
mitted in a signed statement that she
was responsible for Warren's death.
She invited Warren into her auto
mobile, introduced him to her hus-
band, and drove into the country, the
police statement said. At an isolated
spot she asked Warren to get out and
see if a tire was fiat. When he walked
around the car she shot him, accord
ing to the alleged confession.

CARING FOR YEARLING 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 a problem just what to do with
the yearling colt. 1t goes without say
ing that they are, in most cases, sadly
neglected If there are 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 a 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 I'M
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 &C
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. II 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 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.

BROKEN WIND IS lNCURABLE
Any Treatment Given Can Only Be

(By w. R. GILBERT.)

Broken wind is the old-fashioned
name given to the chronic lung COM
plant, associated with difficult breath
ing in which, in marked cases, the act
of expiration is performed by double
effort, inspiration being little, if at
all, removed from normal.
We have only to look at a horses
flank to see this double effort and abb
dominal breathing, and press his
throat with the fingers and thumb
in other words to coughNhim in order
to see if he is broken win6ed or not.
The cough is characteristic, spas
modic at first, but as the disease adj
