NECESSARY CARE FOR FoALs
A. Soon 40 Young Animal Gains
Strength Enough 20 es on fiIs
Feet Let Him Nurss.


Foals should nurse after they gain
strength enough to get on their feet
and walk around. In the case Of weak
or very crooked-legged foals II may be
necessary to assist them In getting the
teat. but often an effort is made to
force them to nurse before they are
ready. Nature takes its own time on
such occasions, and hurrying and bus
thing may do more harm than good.
Before the foal nurses wash the mares
udder with a warm 2 per cent solution
of good coal-tar disinfectant and
then rinse with warm water. The arst
milk which comes from the mare 70
known as colostrum and acts as .
physic on the foal. causing the focal
matter In the intestines to be dis
charged: hence the folly Of milking
the mare before the foal comes merely
because there appears to be too much
milk in the udder. II the contents Of
the bowels are not elected naturally
within twenty-four hours, two to four
tablespoonfuls Of castor oil shaken In
milk should be given. and It also may
be advisable to inject warm water nr
two ounces of castor oil into the how
els. Repeat this treatment every three
or four hours until the bowels move.

Mankato Music Club Program.
Miss Mabel Hansen, soprano.
Miss Susan Hantelman, pianist.
Miss Margaret Constance, reader.
Miss Adah Strand, pianist.

Fine local talent was presented by
the Mankato Music club Wednesday,
and the afternoons recital proved to
be an altogether inyigorating one.
Each of the young women who con-
tributed towards the program mani
tested seriousness and earnestness
of purpose which was gratifying.
Miss Mabel Hansen who opened the
program, divulged the possession of
voice Of highly agreeable quality,
her lower tones being especially warm
ton made listening indeed a pleasure
and the pianissimo effect that she
is able to produce must be recorded
as a distinct and pleasing surprise.
Her first grour' consisted of:
"My dear Soul. Sanderson
whats in the Air Today" eden
Where my Caravan has Rested. .Lolfr
Miss Hanson chose for her second
group number of quaint Chinese
Mother Goose Rhymes by cambridge
Crist.
Miss Susan Hantelman, pianist,
was at home in "Solitude"-Sibelius
and in the Romance" by La Forge,
and easily caught the spirit of these
compositions. A current of poetic and
musical sensitiveness was felt which
promises so well for the future. The
two remaining numbers of her group
were the Moment Musical" by Shu-
bert and a Bach Clique, the latter
being played with easy assurance,
clean technic and subtitle magma
ton
Miss Margaret Constance charped
her audience with two delightful read
ings entitled Myself and T.. Daries
and "At the Sign of the Cliff Heart
Garrison. She is gifted with a musical
voice and her style of delivery is
pleasing.
Miss Adah Strand closed the pro
gram with LISTS "Loreiei" which she
treated admirably well, displaying
some wholesome technic and a good
bit of interpretive power. We hope
to hear her again.-Mrs. E. A. SLIDER

DAMAGES FOR REPR|SALI
IRELAND AROUSED OVER
BLACK AND TANS
Payment For Wrecked Property
Is New Problem Faced BY
Government

Dublin, October 1S. Correspond
ence of The Associted Pressl-Ta1-
payers in Ireland are agitated over
the question who is to pay for the
damages resulting from reprisals COM
mitted by the BLACK and Tans", or
semi military force, employed by the
government to suppress Sim Fem
disorders.
The total amount of damages re-
sulting from Sim Fein disorders, and
reprisals by orargemen and govern
ment agents in Ireland, is estimated
to be nearly 100000 pounds. AL
ready awards awards amounting to
100000 pounds for damages inflicted
by the Sim Feiners have been as
sessed against the taxpayers.
The law prescribes that the tax
payer shall pay for all willful dam
age to property or life maliciously
conflicted. The county judges who
pass upon claims arising from dam
ages in Black and Tan reprisals have
granted awards to the claimants and
ATTEMPTED to make them the charge
against the local authorities. They
have, however, indicated in their judg =
ments that they believe the govern
nents should make good the losses
caused by its own servants.
UnionIsts Pay Amounts
The principal taxpayers In Ireland
are for the most part unionists who
are the largest property holders and
would be hardest hit IL the taxpayers
We're compelled to pay these damage
claims. While they are anxious to
help the government put down dis
order. many disapprove of the, Black
and Tan reprisals and are unwilling
to pay for the consequences of them.
The Irish Times, the principal un.
lonist newspaper, demands that the
government shall make a clear public
statement that the obligation to com
penstate for murder, arson and rob-
berry committed by the servants of the
government is acknowledged by the
government and will be promptly
met.
The government paid the bill of
about 100000 pounds for the damage
suffered by the city of Dublin In the
Easter week rebellion and this is
pointed to as precedent for similar
action in the matter of Black and Tan
reprisals.
1t is expected that the government
Will also be asked to pay for the dam
age inflicted by the Sim Feiners to
which awards amounting to 5000 900
pounds already have been made by
county judges. Besides there is a bill

PREVENTION OF FLAT SOUR"
Disagreeable Taste and odor Can Be
Avoided " Gamer Uses Fresh
Vegetables.

Canned corn, peas, beans and as
paragus may show no signs of spoil
age to the eye, and still when opened
may have a sour taste and a disagree
able odor. This trouble is known to
the Gamer as fiat sour" and can be
avoided, United States department Of
agriculture canning specialists say, II
the Gamer will use vegetables that
have been gathered not more than FIVE
or six hours, blanch, cold-dip. pack
one Jar at a time, and place each Jar
in the Gamer as 1t is packed. The
first jar in will not be affected by the
extra cooking. When the steam-pres-
sure Gamer Is used, the Jars or cans
may be placed In the retort and the
cover placed in position but not
clamped down until the retort is filled.
Rapid cooling prevents overlooking,
clarifies the liquid. and preserves the

DRUGS Detrimental TO cow
Experiments at Iowa State College
Show That Alcohol, ,AIoes, ETC.,
Are Harmful.

The use of drugs with the idea Of
increasing the fat production of test
cows has been tried out by Iowa State
Agricultural college dairy section. In
most cases it was found that drugs
decreased rather than increased the
fat production.
Such drugs as alcohol. castor oil.
pituitrin, aloes, magnesium sulphate.
nux vomica and sodium chloride were
tried and In all cases they were detri-
mental to the cows. All cows used
were In good normal condition at the
start Of the tests and various sizes Of
doses were used.
In some cases It was found that the
how of milk and butterfat was in
creased slightly, but this soon fell off
and In the end decrease was no.
ticed.
Up to date no drug has been FOUND
that will increase the butterfat.
Dairymen are strongly advised not to
resort to this method as 1t Injuries the
cows and is not fair way to gain a
record. N '.-.-

Close: TO- MISSING link
WILD TRIBES OF ASIA WILL
SOON BE VISITED
Scientific Research Party Is
Sent Out BY The Amer
lean Museum

New York, November 4, [Corres.
pondence of The Associated Pressl-
The expedition sponsored by the A
merican Museum of National History,
which will set forth for China next
February, will search not only for fos-
sils Of the ape man, regarded by Dl-
ologists as the missing link" in the
chain of evolution, but will study the
aboriginal tribes now, said to be fast
disappearing in China.
I'VE know as little about some OF
the living natives as about Cho fossi:
history of the country, says Roy
Chapman Andrews who will lead the
EXPEDITION Long before The Chinese
arrived. China was inhabited ty alb
original tribes, which were pushed
sGatu ond west just as the indians
were driven westward by he white
men who advanced across tile Amer
lean continent.
Remnants of nearly thirty of these
tribes, such as the Lolos, Mosos, Lisos
and others, are rapidly disappearing.
and the expedition expects to study
them before they become extinct"
Describing these aborigines with
whom he has hunted, Mr.. Andrews
said they are totally unlike Chinese,
having tall and slender bodies, long
faces, patrician noses and other char
acteristics of Caucasian blood.
Mr.. Andrews says that scientific
men are now agreed in the belief that
the oldest prehistoric remains of man,
and Of many beasts, lie somewhere
within the great Central Asiatic Pla-
teau, where few white men have ever
penetrated
One of the reasons why little is
known of China's fossils and those Of
interior Asia IS that material of this
sort Is carefully concealed by the
Chinese, who term the relics dragons
bones" and use them for medicinal
purposes said Mr.. Andrew
One result expected Is the educa-
ton Of Americans in knowledge of
the immens continent across the
Pacific Whether success or failure
meets the attempt to find the mis-
sing link, hundreds of thousands of
specimens of Asiatic animal and plant
life are to be collected and brought to
America. These it is planned to place
in the proposed s1,000,00O Hall of AS
iatic Life in this city.
Hunts for wild animals many of
which the explorer hopes to bring
alive to the United States will fur
nish excitement. IN a corner of the
Cobb Desert are herds of wild horses,
while on the Ttbetan steppes are e.
normous Yak. snow leopards and gil
ant pandas. In China is the Takin. a
strange ox-like animal with a verit-
able golden fleece that roams the
highest mountain valleys and repre-
sents an intermediate stage between
the antelope and the goat, says Mr..
Andrews.
Headquarters for the exposition are
to be at Psking. The work of the ex-
petition Is to continue for five years.
The first year will be devoted to
studies in pa,aeontology ar,i zoology
in China The second year the work
is tn be carried into Mongolia. With
biologists added to the field staff.
Then for the next three years the en-
tire force will be scattered in wide
spread sections of Asia.
