Safe Squeeze Gates.

ton, known as the squeeze gates, af-
fords an excellent method Of holding
cattle for treatment.
In great many cases, especially
with young cattle, they are chased un-
til they become heated and excited !;
then are roped and thrown. This is
not only detrimental to the ailing ami
NAL but often puts them in very awk-
ward position to work upon.
With squeeze gates it is possible,
with the aid of feed, to coax the ami
NAL quietly into the stanchion and use
the gates If the case demands them.
Even with mich cows that are more
docile there is more or less danger, by
the sudden movements of the cow, Of
breaking an arm when treating the
genital organs.
For cases of abortion, where the
genital organs should be constantly
treated and freely dressed with anti
septic solutions, the squeeze gates are
worth many times their initial cost, for
when treating such cases the two
gates are swung around and by means
of racheted props the animal is held
so it cannot move sideways, thus allow
ing the attendant to work with the
greatest degree of satisfaction.

ON THE SIDE

A weekly newspaper recently raised
the subscription price to So a year in
line with other papers. Some one OBJ
jected and the editor explained as
follows: "You may be of the opinion
that the paper isn't worth So. Neither
is gallon of gasoline worth % cents
nor 10 pounds of sugar worth $1.25,
nor pound of veal worth 80 cents,
nor a bushel of corn worth 81, but
these are the prices the people are
paying. Flour is retailed at SIG bar
rel and sow bosom at 35 cents a
pound. So don't get mad at us. Good
ness knows we didn't start that fuss
in Europe"
A scolding, fault-finding woman
can create more trouble in a day that
a dozen preachers and lawyers can
straighten out in a year. She is on
par with the woman whose tongue is
spreading scandal in the neighbor-
hood and glories in the havoc she has
wrought, despite the circumstance of
it's truth or falsity. There are some
men also whose foul tongues had bet
ter be employed at some other diver
sion.
