Mrs. Anna Hagenmeyer, of Howe Stu

City Emergency Hospital after sus-
tanning u fracture in the wrist.
To determine the extent of the in

the injured member was put under
the X-ray camera and to the surprise
of the hospital staff and the patient
herself, the presence of the needle was
disclosed. Hospital attaches gave it
as their opinion that the needle had
been there for years. Mrs. Hagen
meyer could throw no light on how it
got there and said that it had never
given her any trouble.

BIRDS NEST, HIS
POSITION, LIBERTY
ARE ALL RESCUED

MENOMINBB. Mich, Aug. 22.-
A railroad freight car moved out of
here, leaving behind a railway agent
as carefree as the mother robin guard
ing a nest containing three blue eggs
in the door latch Of the car.
The railway agent is Robert Muir
ply, local representative of the st.
Paul Railway, who has faced the al
tentative of going to Jail or losing his
job, all because two robins picked
the door latch of a freight car in
which to build their nest.
The car arrived here two weeks
ago from Bend, Ore, destined for
Erie, Pa, and vas sidetracked to
await rerouting. Mr.. and Mrs. Robin
moved right in,
When Murphy gave the orders for
the movement of the car, officials of
the Society for Prevention of Cruelty
to Animals, fearing that the nest
would be destroyed, threatened to have
Murphy arrested for violating a state
law which forbids disturbing a birds
nest. Railroad officials demanded that
the car be moved and Murphy feared
the loss either of his job or liberty.
The difficulty was overcome when
trainmen built a cover over the nest
and a platfarm beneath II. Humane
Society officials withdrew their objec-
tions and the car was moved aboard n
car ferry on the first lap of its jour
ney.

Conditioning the Farm Horse

Thousands of farm horses have
been idle or roughing it during
the winter months and are not
ready for hard, steady work. 1t
is now the season when the pro-
gram of many q farm horse is
suddenly changed without the
preparation that is necessary for
efficient service.
On many farms the horses
have obtained their winter feed
from stalk fields and the straw
stack. They come through in a.
thin condition and need to be put
in better flesh before ready for
hard work. This is best done by
gradually giving the horses in
advance a portion Of the same ra-
ton that is to be fed during the
work season.
Whether the horse has been
out in the open or standing idly
in the barn, a moderate amount
of light work preceding the rush
season is advisable. The harden
ing process may be accomplished
by changing horses each half day
in doing the necessary hauling
about the farm preparatory to
working in the fields. This will
exercise and strengthen the mus
cles without firing them.
The horse will not perform eff
GENTLY in an ill-fitting harness.
The raw sores that develop are
due, in most instances. to plung-
Ing an idle horse suddenly into

heavy work or to the fact that the
harness is not properly adjusted.
1t is especially important that the
horse collar be of the right kind,
shape and size. A well-fitted coll
lar does not choke and distributes
the draft over the entire shoulder.
During the winter months most
farm horses are groomed very lit
tie and the long hair of the win
ter coats is a handicap when
spring comes. It is best to re-
move the old hair at once, by
clipping. This is important as it
increases the efficiency of the
horse. 1t prevents the extreme
sweating and lathering that would
otherwise take place as the heavy
work goes on and the weather
becomes warm.
Due to the fact that the direct
farm income is mainly from cat
tie, hogs, or sheep, the care of the
farm horse and mule is gener-
ally neglected. It should be re-
membered that the income from
the other classes of live stock de-
ponds upon the crops that the farm
produces; and the horse furnishes
the power that makes farm oper-
atoms possible. More care for the
work horse will in the end effect q
saving and Increase the efficiency
on many farms. Be fair to the
horse, by doing the Things that
will give him q good chance to
give his best during the present
season.

ASSESSORS HOLD MEETING

The joint meeting for the asses

called by Geo. l.. Vinegar, assessor
Of incomes, and held at River Falls,
Wednesday, April Is, was well at
tended, there being but four absen-
tees out of a total of fifty-eight as
sessions. The main feature of the
meeting was the address by Pearce
Tomkins, representing the Tax Com
mission. Mr.. Tomkins laid much
stress upon the Importance of the
work of the local assessor, pointing
out to the assessors the necessity of
exercising diligence in finding all
property not exempt from taxation
and also the moral courage to place
each piece Of property on the asses
sment roll at a fair valuation. He
very concretely stated that their
work is the very foundation upon
which the general property tax rests.
In addition to the assessors, there
were quite a number of other town
officers in attendance who appeared
to take keen interest in this ell abb
sorbing topic, taxation.
