I’ve been ‘‘thinkin’’ lately of how deceptive appearances are. Me? Now I’ve been mistook for a preacher, a lawyer, and on one occasion for having sense enough to vote right. But never by the wildest stretch of imagination could anyone accuse me of having a dissemination of knowledge and yet? such is a fact.

The annual loss from this cause very great and can be consid- erably reduced by careful meth- ods of handling cattle. We are aware of the fact, however, that » under careful management losses do occur that are apparently un- explieable. On the other hand, 1¢ is equally true that it pays to take certain precautions, which experience has proven greatly to reduce the danger of pasturing stalk fields. Cattle should never be turned into a stalk field on an empty stomach. On the other hand,.they should be given hay or some oth- er feed that they relish before they are turned out in the morn- wg. When their hunger is par- tially satisfied in this manner they will not eat so much of the dried stalk and consequently im- paction of the stomaeh, which is a frequent cause of death in the stalk fields will be ayoided. Another thing is to provide plenty of good water for the cattle before. they are tarned out in the morning, and to’ mesure good drinking the cattle should have free access to the salt every day. The next thing to do is to ac- eustom the cattle gradually to the dry stalks by not leaving them im the stalks more than one hour the first day. The second day the time may be extended to an third three hour and a half the hours and so on until, in course of a week they could re- main in the field all day long, Care should be taken constantly to see that the cattle have plenty of water and salt so that they will not go thirsty. When water is scarce and the cattle fill up on dry stalks trouble is apt to occur when this food. becomes soaked with water. ‘As stated before. even when cattle are treated in this manner losses will oceur. Nevertheless, there is no question but that the danger of loss is greatly dimin- ished by careful methods of hand- ling. Sometimes cornstalks seem to harbor prussie acid or some other poison, the nature of which is not fully understood, and that is another reason why cattle should not be allowed to eat too heavily of the stalks on the start. If in spite of taking the precau- tions mentioned, losses still occur in some fields, keep the cattle out of them.—Farmer and Stock- man. the Women to Have Court of Their Own.

Well, just at that point a red headed, freckled faced girl (that I didn’t like a bit) giggled and a tow headed son of a gun boy who was so cross eyed he could look at his own head said ‘‘Whatcha mean ears’’ and I forgot the rest of it. Finally T managed to baw! out ‘Somebody better come and get me’’ and the show was over. Gosh, I remember how I felt till “plumb yet.’’ Many: things to be thankful for. Yes. But I fear when adversity comes we often forget the good times of the past. Why, IT onee heard of a fellow who was af- flicted with the ‘‘itech’’ and do you know he was thankful. Why? 3ecause he knew what a pleasure it was to ‘‘seratech.’’ 5 Other day I read that a ship! that was loaded with ‘‘dri¢d cod | fish’’ swelled up and busted when | the cargo (said fish) got wet.
