easy and safe and worked just fine.
In little while the heifer would stand
without the strap.
A very good method to cure cow
from kicking and to teach her to stand
still while milking is to fasten 2-by-4
timber securely to the floor and cell
ing just back of the cow, then have
a good, strong strap, with buckle, pass
around her hind right leg and then
around the 2-by-4 and draw up tight
and buckle it. Drive d spike in the
2-by-4 part way to keep the strap from
slipping down when the cow struggles
to get her leg free.

PRINCIPAL CAUSE OF sc0URs
Feeding From Dirty Pals or Giving
Ratlons Unhardened Stomachs
Cannot Properly Digest.

Those who raise young calves by
hand know that scours Is one of the
greatest, If not the greatest, source
Of loss. DR.. G. G. Lipp, veterinarian
at the South Dakota college, says
feeding from dirty pals, or feeding
rations the unhardened stomachs of
the young calves cannot digest, are
the two main causes from which this
trouble may arise.
The milk pals cannot be kept too
clean. Scrupulous care must be OBJ
served If the feed pals are not to be
the source of scours. Washing after
each feeding with cold water Is not
enough; thorough scalding at least
once q day is essential and exposure
to bright sunlight on every clear day
will not come amiss. Bacteria are
little things, but the way they live
and multiply Is remarkable, and the
damage they can do when they get
started assumes mighty proportions.
When the feed is hard to digest and
the first evidence of stomach disorders
appear, dose of physic is the best
cure. A few tablespOonfuls of castor
oil or an equal amount of salts will
remove the offending food and restore
the system to working order again.
A 40 per cent solution of formalde-
hyde has also been found to be an
effective preventive of scours. One
tablespoonful of fOrmalin is diluted in
one pint of water. A spoonful or two
of the solution may then be added to
the calf's milk as many times day
and as long as conditions demand.

SPEED OF STEAM SEPARATOR
Farmers Should Be Careful to Follow
Directions Given by Manufacture
ers OF Machine.

Some tests conducted by the Indiana
station show that much cream may be
lost by not running the cream separa-
tor the proper number of revolutions.
Farmers should be particular about
following directions OF the several
makes of separators. It has been es-
timated that over 95 per cent of the
dairymen turn their machines too
slowly. The question Of speed, there
fore, becomes one of much Importance,
and dairymen should look after this
feature of milk and cream handling
with as much carefulness as they do
any other detail of milk handling.

CamouhaQe,


 A remarkable interpretation of the British national raracteristic-reserv appears in the Century, entitled Camoufiage. It is the story of two young people on the eve of the hus- bands going to battle.
 "For the benefit of those who may not be acquainted with what camou- 6age means, it might be truthfully de- scribed as a thin veil drawn over great events.
 There are endless varieties of camoufiage, and endless uses to which 1t may be put. A great white road Is concealed from the enemy's lines by hedge of thinly plaited twigs-camou- dage. An observation point hidden in the heart of a haystack-camoufiag A mighty gun masked by an awning of fishermen's nets, sprinkled with lead leaves-camouflage A corpse brought in from no-mans land and re- placed by live man, who watches what is toward in the Hun trenches again camoufiage. But, perhaps, the subtlest variety of all is the kind that men and women devise to screen their real emotions from one another and the world"

for supper, bitterly denounced the en- tire case as "frameup," which he said was conceived in shame and in- iquity," and brought into existence with the assistance of an "unscrupu- lous detective" (McGraw) and "Ju- das Iscariot" (Burgess). He attrib- uted the entire case to a conspiracy to ruin Sims, and ascribed motives of vengeance to Prosecutor Dunaway and removal of MT. Dunaway's name from the proposed University Removal Board" by Sims while senator, and controversy over an alleged Little Rock milk trust" involving the city milk inspection department were the motives attributed to MT. Dunaway and Mayor Taylor by MT. Rogers.
 Heated denunciation of McGraw, the detective, the Burns detective agency and detectives in general, formed a part of the address of MT. Rogers. He declared that such detec- tives are expected to get results, "by fair means or foul" and that they "al- ways manage to come home with the bacon" MT. Rogers charged McGraw
 with conceiving "dirty scheme to rob man of his name and position
 by manufactured evidence"
 Says Money Slipped in Pocket. MT. NNgers charged that the money found c-l Sims had been slipped into. his pocket by the detectives while they were pretending to search him for gun" He closed his address
 with an impassioned appeal for jus
 tice for Sims, not only for his own sake, but the sake of his wife and
 children and aged father, and drew a picture of the judgment which he said must some day come to those who "hatch four schemes to murder char
 ac.er and reputation"
 Just preceding MT. Rogers address Colonel Murphy closed an eloquent appeal in which he also charged a "vicious conspiracy" aimed at "get- ting" Sims. Colonel Murphy especial ly attacked the way in which he said Sims had been robbed of his constitu- tional rights to make bond and seek counsel on the night of his arrest. He declared that MT. Dunaway and Mayor
 Taylor had combined to violate the most sacred rights of free men" by depriving Sims of freedom, the com- fort of friends and the advice of coun- sell He characterized the affair as "an iniuitous proceeding" He laid stress upon evidence which showed
 that MT. Dunaway asked Judge w. E.
 Woodruff not to fix bond for Sims,
 or if it was fixed, to set it so high it could not be made. He also re- ferred to the way in which Sims was refused liberty, even after bond had
 been made, and how new charges were preferred before non-active justice of the peace, who could not be found
 later by friends anxious to secure bail.
 Colonel Murphy declared that the trading stamp bill had been killed be- fore the detective McGraw met Sims for the first time.,
