State Of Kansas,
Executive Department,


THANKSGIVING PROCLAMATION.
The people of Kansas should enter into
the Observance OF Iha a1iassgg TINS Xear,
which have existed upon any similar oc
casion in the past. In a time when the
nation industrial and financial resources
are being tested as never before. when
every state of the Union is offering its best
in men and money and the products of the
soil. the people of our state should find
profound satisfaction that Kansas has
responded promptly and adequately to
uine thankfulness that the grave response
bilities thrust upon us in this world crisis,
the large sacrifices which many have been
more complete understanding of the
duties Of citizenship. the first Of which is
lofty conception of real patriotism.
In one of the country's greatest agricul-
tural regions whose people have given little
thought to war, We should be grateful that
stalwart manhood, quick to answer the ma
tons call. as AMERICANS always have done.
We should find reason for thankfulness
no less sincere in remembering the unselfish
devotion with which our women have risen
to their part IN the great e,mergency' f2r
highest possible exemplification of patriot
ism. Upon these women will rest, almost
homes and the families intact in the fathers
absence. The future Of the state itself
depends 1pon them
let us not forget large measure Of thank
fulness FOR the. steady progress We have
for the love of knowledge, for the sense Of
fairness and justice toward our fellow-m
which is characteristic of Kansas citizen
ship, and for a keener realization of our
religious duties and ideals II ever the
world needed the welding and strengthen
ing influence of such ideals IL needs Ii now
when mems thoughts seem turned mostly
to war and its destructive forces. Kansas,
1 am sure will not ignore the necessity
for preserving the integrity Of society while
striving loyalty to do their part In keeping
our state in the front rank in Americas
every principle that men hold dear.

TREATING CUTS AND
INJURIES ON STOCK
important That Farmer Should
Know How to Handle and
Dress Wounds on Animals.
(By L. S. BACKUS.)
First aid is most important.


Quick healing leaves smaller scars.
Don't use dust or lime to stop bleed
ing.
Bleeding that can be stopped with
powders will soon stop itself anyhow.
Frequent washing irritates wounds,
prevents prompt healing, and may
cause proud flesh. Small concealed
stab wounds, such as those from nails,
are the most likely to cause death.
Find them and keep them clean and
we'll disinfected.
Swab out deep cuts with pure tine
ture of iodin as soon as it can be Sc
cured and they will take care of them
selves then if the normal pus discharge
is removed.
A long-continued- discharge from q
wound indicates an abscess pocket,
bone injury, or the presence of snag
or something else that should not be
in the wound. Call veterinarian.
AS soon as bleeding has been
stopped, wash the wound with pint
of warm water to which two teaspoon
fuls of creOlin, lysOl, carbolic acid, or
some similar disinfectant has been
added.
A wound should be healed in about
three weeks. If it is doing we'll the
swelling will gradually go down, and
the discharge will be odorless, thin.
and bloody at first, and thicker and
whittier later.
Antitoxin will prevent lOckjaw at
ter nail or other puncture wounds. Ii
not so prevented, very few of the lock-
Jaw cases ever recover. The nara
crust lime forms over the surface or
wound favors lockjaw by shutting
out the air.
Bleeding from leg can always be
stopped by tying a small rope loosely
about the wound, then twisting II
with q stick or small rod. Tighten till
bleeding stops. Apply bandages and
remove the cord if possible. If band
ages cannot be applied, prevent serl-
Gus bleeding by pressing the fingers
against the cut blood vessels until
veterinarian can be called.

TO S0WS
BEFORE NARROWING
Animal Does Best When Kept in
Healthy Condition-Avoid
Heavy Corn Feeding.

The way a SOW is handled before
narrowing has much to do with the
value of her litter, according to the
University of Nebraska Agricultural
college.
The sow does best when she IS kept
in healthy condition, but is not al
lowed to become too fat. Heavy corn
feeding makes sows fat, and they are
not likely to produce large, healthy
pigs. For this reason, breeding STOCK
must be separated from fattening pigs
if best results are secured Feeds
that produce bone and muscle are
best. Any one Of the following ra-
tons, supplemented by alfalfa nay III
the rack, will give good results:
(1) Corn, 1 part; shorts, 1 part.
(2.) Corn, 5 parts; shorts, 8 paris

fairy air-castles. She is apt to haunt
her triumph in the faces OF her girl
friends until some unfortunate day
when the notion occurs to him to take
come other girl home. She CONSIDERS
that her girl friend has committed a
grieyOus wrong against her in accept
ing him as her escort.
The young man in the case is not
likely to hear of this tempest in tea
pot until he asks permission to call
steadily on the second girl. In re-
SponSe to her declaration that she
would not take another girls lover
from her, he makes haste to explain
that escOrting a girl about few times
OF calling on her does not indicate by
any manner of means that the young
man is in love with her or has the
least desire to become nearer and
dearer than all others to her. He
argues that it is within a young mans
right to cultivate the acquaintance OF
many nice girls for friendships sake
only: that q beau should never be
miscOnstrued into being thought low
er. Friends of a susceptible girl
should not encourage such delusiOn.
He is quick to add that his mother
tells his sisters never to take it for
granted that man is in love with
them until they hear it from his own
lips.
There was once q maiden lady who
buasted to having had forty lovers.
when the truth of the matter was Sift-
ed down by neighbOrs, who kept tab
on such affairs. it turned out that she
IIad been universally admired, for she
was unusually pretty. When a young
man saw her home from singing school
or church. she was wont to spread the
news that she had a lover, whereupOn
The young man, who had no intention
OF marrying, never put in a second APP
pearance.
There is one way of distinguishing
the beau from the lOver-the beau is
perfectly willing to call indefinitely
without committing himself as to what
The girl on whom he calls may hope
iu the future. The lover loses no time
after he is convinced that they were
made for each other in begging her
consent to ask papa and mamma for
Iser hand. Many girl is destined to
have half dozen beaux before she
finds the right one. BY that time she
has discovered that man may smile,
whisper tender words and, after all.
not be actually in love with her.
