In Wisconsin the hOrSe-Dreeding in

during the past season, the cOnSe-
Quence being that the total of 3,O62
public service stations of 1916 has
fallen off 25S head. The horses of the

the handsome young man played no
part in the girls vision. No, he was
always there. But she reasoned he was
quite sure to appear at the proper time
if she could go into the society where
he was to be found. Clearly the only
way out of it was to be adopted.
It had not entered Hettie's mind
that some slight preparatory education
in grammar, and the mode Of speech
required in cultured society might help
some in the process of acquiring an
adopted mother. She had had q rudi-
mentary school training in the institu-
ton from which she went to the box
factory, but her association with the
girls Of that section of the town, had
not added to the elegance Of her Ian
guage.
Poor little Hettie! she was bright,
kindly, and well-meaning, and her de-
sires were only the normal ones of
youth. Once she told a girl compan-
ion of her wish to be adopted, and was
so laughed at and ridiculed, that she
ever after kept her aircastles to her
self. But her dream would not down.
1t became a kind Of obsession.
Whether it was because her vision
was in this misty region while her
small body was in the path of rushing
traffic in the great city, or whether
fate took a hand, there came the awful
impact Of the automobile, and Hettie
knew no more till she aWoke in a mar
row, white bed, and looked up into the
faces Of a doctor and nurse. She gazed
about for the adopted mother, but
there were only nurses moving around
the place. Clearly something had hap
pened, and the adopted mother ought
to be part Of it. When she tried to
move she found it very painful, and
she was quite stiff with bandages. She
asked for an explanation, and was told
she had been struck by an automobile,
but that she would be all right in a
few days. She asked whose automo-
bile it was, and the nurse answered it
was Mrs. Burlson's, a very kind lady
who was very sorry, and had brought
her there, and told them to do every
thing they could, and that she would be
responsible for the pay. Hettie felt

spring and fall. Digestive troubles,
particularly white scOurs, have not
been troublesome and fewer deaths in
calves have occurred after this prac-
tice was adopted. Less garget in COWS
has been evident. The same treat
ment will help to hold in check tuber-
culosis and contagious abortion in
herds where these diseases are preva-
lent.
Thorough disinfecting is urged to
kill all disease germs in every possible
lurking place. Managers, stalls and
floors need special attention. Coal-tar
dips are used at the experiment sta

are WhiteWashed.

GENERAL CARE OF UTENSILS
Four Important Rules That Should Be
Followed in Washing and Dry
ing Milk Vessels.

General recommendation for the
care of utensils are:
I. Rinse in lukeWarm water as soon
after use as possible.
2. Wash in hot water containing
washing powder which will remove
grease.
3. Rinse in clean hot water and
place in live steam Is seconds, drain
and place right side up until steam
evaporates.
4. Invert in a clean protected place
when dry.

Jim" Shearer, star backfield man of
the Mason City high school football
team claimants Of the state scholastic
championship, is under. fire Of three
coaches, who allege that his past record
makes him Ineligible to participate In
a game between schools holding mem
bership in the Iowa High School Attn
letic Association. Coaches Of three
teams scheduled to meet Mason City
are interested in the case, and word
comes from Waterloo that a protest
will be filed with the officials Of the
state association. The Shearer case
has come to the attention Of Coaches
Sanford, Of Marshalltown; Bell, OF
North Des Moines: and Barnes, Of West
Waterloo. According to a statement
today in Waterloo papers evidence has
been secured which should cause
Shearer to be blacklsted from Iowa
high school football circles.
There have been rumors afloat Of In
fractions Of eligibility rules at Mason
City, which should be investigated. AS
a member Of the state association 1t is
up to the Mason, City association to
meet the requirements as to eligibility
or to step out. Ames high school was
dropped from the, association a year
ago for failure to respect the rules, and
because it permitted player who was
21 years Of age to participate in its
games 1t has been obliged to forego
the game this year.
Whether the charges against the
Mason City team are we'll founded or
not must be shown, and 1t Is up to
