FIFTEEN THOUSAND
CRIMINAL LIBEL
n. A. ARMSTRONG BRINGS SUIT IN
CIRCUIT COURT AGAINST
JNo. w. CECIL.

Through his counsel Charles P
Hatcher and George Taylor Hughes,
ST., H. A. Armstrong has filed suit in
the circuit court for $4,000 for al
legged criminal libel against John w.
Cecil, one of the most prominent resi-
dents of the Cross Bridges section. In
fact, both of the parties are very
prominent and well known in the
county and this litigation is sure to
arouse much interest. The suit is un-
derstood to be the result of letter
that was written by the defendant
Cecil to a witness in the suit of Joe
Hagey against John w. Cecil recently
decided in the circuit court.
1t was upon this letter also that the
grand jury recently returned indict-
ments against Mr.. Cecil for alleged
criminal libel.

hundreds and hundreds of people
from over this county, from Law.

county, witnessed the ceremonies and
assisted in the serving Of the dinner.
1t was decided success from
every standpoint and the soldier boys
were made to feel that their sacrifice
for their country was not unappre.
ciated by the peopel at home. After
all of the boys had been bountifully
served with the good things to eat,
each was given package of tobacco,

Sloan company.
There we're a large number of car
loads of people here from William

had made the roads almost impossible

the battery, 1872, answering to their

Immediately after the muster the

attention TO SHEEP
IN SPRING SEASON
Not Good or Profitable Practice
to Turn Animals on
Grass Too Early.

Turning out on grass too soon in the
spring is n a good or profitable pra::-
tice. 1t is best to bring the sheep
gradually onto green grass. Feed some
hay In the racks at nights.
What salt the sheep get at this sea-
son of the year could most proftably
be given as brine on the hay. A little
salt will induce animals to fill up on
hay when otherwise they would not
eat it. The first green grass is usually
too soft for the breeding ewes, especial
ly those sucking lambs and yet un-
shorn.
Do not forget to start the lambs on
ground feed as soon as they incline to
be inquisitive and ommence to nose
about the troughs and managers. A ten.
day-old lamb will commence to eat
shorts, bran, cornmeal and the fine par
ticles Of the alfalfa hay. Put all lambs
of this age in possession Of all this
kind Of feed they can take. No dan
ger of laundering or we feeding lambs
Of this age. This, with their mothers
milk, will start them to growing faster
and better than any othe.: system Of
care.

CAUSES OF TROUBLE
WITH MILK SUPPLY
Among Most Frequent Inquiries
Received by Veterinarians at
Many Stations.

Among the more frequent inquiries
received by the veterinary departments
Of the experiment stations are those
relating to troubles Of n kind or
another with milk. These alterations
may exist in the milk when it Is drawn
from the udder, or may develop when
the milk is allowed to stand for sew
eral hours. The alterations may be
recognized by the following modi6ca-
tons: In consistency, often observed
only when churning (the change of
consistency may be one of many kinds,
such as thin and watery, lumpy or
granular, Shiny, difficult to churn,
etc.,; in color, as blue, red, yellow
in odor, and in taste.
The sources Of trouble causing these
alterations may have existed in the
body or outside the body Of the COW.
The causes for the alterations from
sources without the body are invaria-
bly, those of bacteria or other small
organisms. Many Of the causes from
within the body are likewise bacterial,
directly or indirectly. On the other
hand, milk may often be grossly con-
taminated with germs, w with those
which are seriously detrimental to
human health without producing
noticeable abnormal alterations in the
milk.
If the alterations in the milk are
observed at the time when 1t is drawn
the cause must have existed within
the COW. II such alterations are only
to be recognized after the milk has
stood for several hours, then the cause
Is more liable to be from con-
Examinations Of the milk after its
withdrawal.
Some of the sources Of trouble from
within the animals body are as fol-

to four inches apart so as to permit
the bending Of the screen at the top
to fit closely around the trunk Of the
tree. The screen is then bent around
the tree and the lap fastened at the
lower edge by means of a nail. The
lower edge Is sunk. into the ground
about an inch and the soil packed
closely. The flaps made by the Sits
are then pinned over n another so
as to fit very closely around the tree
and finally the top edges are bound
close to the tree by a piece of Irvine.
1t is important to have the edges
against the tree and all the laps fit so
closely that no beetles can get into the
screening.
Before placing the cone around the
tree it would be well to. examine the
tree and exterminate my larvae that
are discovered in the bark. Bisulphid

Injury to cottonwood and willow
shade trees by the cottonwood borer
can be prevented by placing a cone
OF wire screen, one foot high about
the base Of the tree and extending an
inch into the ground. This screen
prevents the beetles from laying eggs
in the tree at or just below the ground
and thus prevents the development Of
larvae which cut the bark and inter-
fere with sap flow and later tunnel
the wood and weaken the tree against
wind.
How Cone Is Made.
The cone is made of galvanized net
ting, with one-Quarter to one-half-inch
mesh. The netting is cut into strips
slightly over one foot wide and long
enough to go completely around the
.ree at such q distance from the bark
that the beetle cannot deposit eggs
through the screen. Sits four to six

they have reached the tunneling stage,
commonly have done all the damage
of which they are capable.
These cones, if made large enough
at first, last several years, but it may
be necessary each summer to loosen
them, lest they bind the tree too tight
ly. All holes should be repaired and
care should be taken to see that the
cones are in perfect shape before sum-
mer, as the beetles commonly lay their
eggs during July and August.
Coloring Of Beetles.
The beetle which lays the eggs
which later develop into boring larvae
Is shining black, Overlaid by stripes
and patches of cream-c olored scales.
1t is n Of the largest beetles found
in Kansas. The larvae are white, with
black mouth parts, and mich wrinkled.
