Take the leak case. One heard at
every street corner and In every hotel
corridor in the city of Washington that
a certain man of high official position,
whose name was given, had met anoth-
or man whose name was given, at a
certain place and at Il certain time,
one located definitely, and the other
given To the minute, and had tipped
him the peace note secret.
\ little inquiry showed that the off
cial of the government had not met the
man and had not been at the place
mentioned ut any time, let alone at the
hour set for the meeting when trust
was said to have been betrayed.
Ii seems to be generally admitted
that there was a leak somewhere along
the pipe line of information. There
have been leaks before in the history of
the United States government. Ger
tain parts of the presidents messages
have been known in places where they
ought not TO be known prior 10 the

RANGE CATTLE NOW
GIVEN preference
Native or Farm-Raised Steer Not
So Nearly of One Type in
Color and Breed.

The range steer receives the prefer
ence now for the feed lot over what is
termed the native steer, the farm
raised steer Of the corn-belt states.
This is largely due to the more uni
form quality of loads of cattle from
the range. The native cattle are not
so nearly of one type; in fact, they are
most generally of mixed breed, mixed
colors, mixed sizes and dissimilarity
prevails, showing that they are pick
ed-up neighborhood product.
There was a time in the history Of
cattle feeding when the reverse con-
ditions prevailed. The range steer
was looked upon with suspicion by the
cattle feeder. There was not much in
his makeup that pleased the feeder.
His long horns, his wild, nervous,
scared-half-to-death actions and be-
havior convinced the feeder buyer that
he did not care to risk him. 1t took
a few years to break down this pre-
JUDGE, but gradually good reports
became more common until the sand
hills cattle of Nebraska and some 9TH
er western districts where good quail
ity of beef-bred bulls were used be-
came famous in the demand for their
feeder steers, says Twentieth Century
Farmer.

quality of the range cattle generally
is a feature that must not be lost

Do You Neglect
Your Machinery =?

The machinery of the body needs to
be well oiled, kept in good condition
just as the automobile, steam engine Or
bicycle. Why should the human neglect
his own machinery more than that of
his horse or his engine? Yet most peo-
pie do neglect themselves. To clean
the system at least once week is to
practice preventive measures. You will
escape many ills and clear up the coat
ed tongue, the sallow complexion, the
dun headache, the lazy liver, If you will
take a pleasant laxative made up of
the May-apple, juice Of the leaves of
aloes, root Of jalap, and called Pleasant
Pellets. You can obtain at almost any

The condition of sick horse is
shown to certain extent by the ap-
pearance of the mucous membranes.
For example, when the animal is ane-
mic as result Of disease or of inap-
propriate feed the mucous membranes
become pale. This change in the mu-
cous membranes can be seen most read
lily In the lining Of the eyelids and in
the lining of the nostril. Paleness
means weak circulation or poor blood.
Increased redness occurs in painful
conditions, excitement and following
severe exertion. In fevers there is an
increased redness in the mucous MEM
brane, and this continues so long as
the fever lasts. In some diseases red
spots or streaks form in the mucous
membrane. This usually indicates an
infectious disease of considerable Sc
verify, and occurs in blood poisoning.

If there is fever the temperature of

SCARCITY OF POTASH
PULLING TO FARMER
Expert of Massachusetts Agri-
cultural College Recommends
Use as Fertilizer.

Parsnips are a long-season root
crop, which occupy the ground until
the late fall and sometimes until the
following spring. Fl. F. Thompson,
professor of market gardening, Mas
sachusetts Agricultural college, has
recommended for beets and carrots
the use of 1000 pounds per acre of
high-grade fertilizer, Analysing 8 per
cent nitrogen, s per cent phosphoric
acid and 10 per cent potash.
Present wartime conditions prevent
the use of the amount of potash recon-
mended, and probably the best advice
that may be given is to use as much
potash as can be obtained now.

sight of when comparing the range
cattle with the steer production Of
the farms over the central west and
eastern states. The range is not in
the least mixed with dairy blood,
while many of the farm herds are
more or less mixed with other than
strictly beef breeds. Feeders desire
uniformity in their cattle to go into
the feed yard, because uniformity in
type, color and general makeup pre-
sents a more pleasing general appear
ance to the buyer than dissimilarity
in any Of it's phases. Farm-bred steers
will become more plentiful as the
farms become more interested in the

Importance Of Wounds.

Wounds Of the skin may be Of i'm
portance in the diagnosis Of internal
disease. Wounds over the bony promi-
nences, as the point of the hip, the point
of the shoulder, and the greatest con-
vexity Of the ribs, occur when a horse
Is unable to stand for long time and,
through continually lying upon his
side, has shut off the circulation to the
portion of the skin that covers parts Of
the body that carry the greatest weight,
and in this way has caused them to
mortify. Little, round, soft, doughlike
swellings occur on the skin and may be
scattered freely over the surface Of the
body when the horse is afflicted with
urticaria. Similar eruptions, but dis
tributed less generally, about the size
Of a silver dollar, may occur as
symptom of dourine, or colt distemper.
Hard Jumps, from which radiate welt
like swellings of the lymphatics, occur
in glanders, and blisterlike eruptions
occur around the mouth and pasterns
in horsepox.
