Bags, Wyo., Dec. Z.
Editor Republican,:
1t has been some time since we
have tormented your readers with
any news from the city of Baggs.
We left Wyoming last spring in the
period of short dresses and return
to find she has assumed the regula-
tiono long skirts of young woman
hood, and we do not think she can
be ashamed of her debut to the
world.
About four inches of snow fell on
the night of the fourth.
Everybody is enjoying good health
at present.
Our school has an attendance of
sixteen.
While Mrs. Bennett was crossing
the bridge here a few days ago. one
of the horses stepped through a hole
and in the ENHANCEMENT threw her
little child out of the buggy injuring
it thought not seriously. The horse
tore a portion of its hoof off, thus
injuring a very valuable animal. We
understand Mr.. Bennett will bring
suit against the county.
1t is a miracle that the county has
not had damages to pay ere this. on
account Of the bad condition of this
bridge.

and weaker, and was confined to my
bed, where l lay on my back for days.

pressed me very much, for / dreaded
such an ordeal.
II remembered how Cardui had
helped me for female trouble in the
past and I had read of how it had
helped other women during change of
life, so one night I told my husband
to go to the drug store and get me a
bottle. I began taking it at once;
From the first dose I could feel myself

Fight Against Bindweed
Won by Kansas Farmer

Despite the fact that land infested
with bindweed is often abandoned be-
cause the owner believes It impossible
to exterminate. William Dietz, Sumner
county (Kan.) farmer, has entirely
rid his farm Of this weed. Mr.. Dletz
used three methods Of determination.
on the smaller patches he applied salt
at the rate Of about one pound to the
square foot. Mr. DIets does not rec
ommend such a method. however. Al
though he applied the salt ten years
ago, he has not yet produced crop
on the land so treated. Two or three
acre patches of blndweed he success
fully extermlnated in about three
years by placing hogs on the patch.
A 20-acre field was rid Of the pest
by the intensive cultivation method.
He plowed the patches early in the
spring and then went over them from
three to four times a month through
out the remainder Of the summer,
using knife weeder. which cut the
plants about four Inches below the
surface. Following this practice for
three to four years, Mr.. Dletz declared,
will entirely XIII them.

Poison Gophers to Save
Various Big Money Crops

Any time is gopher killing time, &C.
cording to A. Il, Oman, rodent control
specialist of the Kansas Agricultural
college. Encouraging reports are com
ing in from communities that have
used poisoned oats. Many farmers re-
port 100 per cent eradication from one
treatment. Mr., Oman urges dilligent
use of the poison method to save po-
tato crops. A few quarts of poisoned
oats or of treated carrots Will protect
large field. Gophers working m al
falfa fields can be effectively poisoned
after the first hay crop is removed.
The zoology department Of the col
lege filed orders for $50 quarts OF poi
soned oats, five ounces Of strychnine
and 100 pounds of cyanide flakes dur
Ing the week of May 10 to "a
The five ounces of strychnlne would
treat two bushels of outs, enough to
kill 1000 gophers. The 100 ounces of
cyanide flakes would treat 1900 praf-
rie dog holes.

Age of Fowl Determined
hv MANY characteristics

The age of fowl can generally be
told by the size of the spurs, but this
rule does not always hold good. To
some extent the texture Of the leg is
a guide to age, and so are the deli
cacy and freshness Of the skin Of the
face and comb. The skin Of the body
is better test, as 1t becomes coarser
and dry-looklng with age. Formerly
the wing-feathers were considered an
absolute test between q pullet and a
hen, even after the long practice Of
early breeding had made the Noting
of early puliets quite common. An
Australian authority says that a pull
let will show rose colored veins on
the surface Of the skin. under the
wings. There will also be long, silky
hairs growing there. After a year old
these hairs and the veins disappear,
and the skin grows white and vein
less. 1t Is more difficult to Judge the
age Of water fowls than Of other
poultry,

Care for Work Horses

A few simple precautions Will in
crease tremendously the efficiency of
the farm horse during the heavy
working season. One of the most I'M
portant is to take barrel of water to
the field and give the team drink Of
water every time you take one. Let
them rest and cool off bit N noon
and at night before feeding. Feed
one-fourth the days hay allowance In
the morning, one-fourth at noon and
one-half at night, Wash the necks
each day with cold water to which a
small amount Of vinegar has been
added.
