With farmers paying higher prices
for machinery, the trust makers of
these goods are systematically reducing
tbe labor cost In producing them, the
latest being the J. I. Case manufac
turing company, which has put Into
effect a new scale, reducing wages
from thirty to fifty per cent. The
men in the plow making department
have quit work, rather than stand
the reduction. The extra prices
which the farmer pays for his machinery
together with tbe reduction in wages
received by labor all go into the capac
ious pockets of tbe trusts,—State Ad

FertU vs. Dodger..
The work of searching the records and
making a complete abstract of the se
curities held by money loaners during
tbe past five years in Floydjcounty, says
a Charles City dispatch, is practically
completed by the tax ferrets who have
been at work in this city for the past
few month, and tbe day for settlement
is here. Tbe amount of back taxes
being paid will bring In a Bum that will
far exceed tbe first expectations of tbe
county officials. When all are paid
they will undoubtedly amount to 850
000, showing that for the past five years
816,000 has annually been withheld
from the county treasurer by tax dodg
era.

Sors Feet of Cattle.

states of which thrush or foot rot is
most common, says State Veterinarian
Gibson. It Is caused by mud or de

There 1b a sorenees and ulceration of
the heels that seems to appear in dry
hot weather and may be caused by
bruising the heel bulbs. Some cases of
sore heels crack and bleed while others
suppurate and form abscesses. The
treatment for such cases is cleanliness,
washing the feet or driving over the
wet grass, then through a narrow lane
or gateway over a quantity of slacked
lime.' If there Is suppuration, an ap
plication of creolin or chioro-naptho
leum should be made,, using cotton or
oakum saturated with either of the
agents mentioned and bound with
bandages. The severe cases should be
confined in a clean place and not al
lowed to irritate the feet by traveling.
If there is soreness, inflammation or sup
puration in the interdigltal Bpace, it
should be packed with medicated cot
ton and bandaged. If tbe animal seems
feverish, a saline purgative [pound of
Epsom salts] should be given dissolved
in two quarts of water. Slight

Gold Weather Feeding.
1 believe there Is more profit In Keep
ing one steer or colt thrifty all winter
than in keeping two that will leave
winter quarters poor, says D. W.
Thomas in The American Agricultural
ist. If In January Btock is In fine order
it is half wintered. Shut up colts as soon
a. feed stops growing. Feed calves one
quart of oats a day and plenty of good
hay. I have never known stock to do
poorly In summer because fed too bigb
In winter. You can make sheep, cattle
or horses, if in good order, gain flesh
upon early cut timothy hay, but if they
lose flesh in the fall it takes grain all
winter to get them up again.
Give personal attention to all live
stock. See that they are well fed. wa
tered and salted regularly. Sheep and
young cattle may have a good deal of
range, but must have warm dry sheds.
Uae the cird at least once a day on
every animal confined to winter quart
ers. Used gently and generously it
tends to make beef, because it keeps
the skin soft, loose and lively, and no
animal can fatten readily unless these
conditions exist. Carding increases the
flow of milk, because when tbe skin
is active and healthy the processes of
digestion are quicker and more per
fect. I adviBe every person to provide
a supply of water for bis stock from
some source, for the time and money
lost by being without would soon pay
for the expense of obtaining it. Horses
need regular feed. The ration I find
best Is about 12 pounds of hay and
from 9 to 12 quarts of oats, given in
three regular feeds, with a feed of
raw potatoes once a week when idle or
at'gentlewort. Give a small Increase
when at hard work. It is a bad prac
tice to feed idle horses all tbo hay tbey
can eat. Straw, with a fair allowance

In the case of Alice Bartley, appel
lant, vs. the administrators of the
George D. Greenleaf estate,tbe eupreme
court of this state held that a woman
who nurses and cares for a man under
contract of marriage can not secure
any part of his estate in case death
overtakes the man before the marriage
is consummated. In the case referred to
Alice Bartley, of Allamakee county en'
tered into an oral contract with George
D. Greenleaf, by the terms of which
they were to be married on or about
August 1, 1895, and she was to keep
houBe,"care" for him, "nurse bim in
sicknesB," and do all things necessary
and proper for his comfort during the
term of his natural life. In considera
tion for all of this Greenleaf was to de
vise and bequeath to Alice all his prop
erty, both real and personal. Greenleaf
died Uay 6,1895, and although no mar
irage had taken place Alice brought ac
tion to secure possession of hi. property.
In her petition in the lower court she
asked "the specific performance of the
promise on tbe part of the deceawd,
when the act of God has tendered per
formance on his part impossible." The
supreme court holds the contract to be
a marriage contract pure and aimpl

PerteatrlanlMD in German -,
A German friend of min3 (he is some
Aat of a humorist) was bantering mo
about the notorious aversion of Ameri
cans to walking, and ho l-emarkod that
he had heard it said that the average
American did not walk more than a mile
a day. Of course I resented this gross
libel, and I asserted that the average
American thought nothing of starting
out for a walk of five miles. I cited
with a good deal of pride the habitual
practice of Julian Hawthorne of taking
a mere stroll of twenty or thirty miles
whenever he has a few moments to de
vote to exercise. I spoke, too, of your
townsman, Mr. Slason Thompson, editor
of The America, who is in the habit of
walking ten miles a day and running fif
teen or twenty more.
My friend thereupon became personal,
and Ventured to intimate that I could
not walk five miles. Of course I accept
ed the challenge implied, and, peacefully
doddering imbecile that I was, I actually
walked for four consecutive hours before
I learned (npon remonstrating with my
humorous friend) that a German mile
was equal to four and a half English
miles, and that in order to accomplish
tho feat I had undertaken I should have
to cover twenty-two and a half miles.
Germany would be a veritable para
dise,- methinks, for Julian Hawthorne
and Slason Thompson. They would be
elected to the reicbstog at the first

Ro Character In 'Shoe..
"I used to try to connect men's feet
with their characters," said the cob
bler ns he pounded away at his lap
stone, "but .finally gave It up as a bad
job. Only about one man in 50 wears
the heels of bis shoes oft square. About
half the other 40 wear the outsldes off
first and tho other half the lnsides.
Where one foot Is a trlHe tbe larger It
Is always the left one. Nine times out
of ten the right foot has tbe more
corns. I know of men who will wear
a suit of clothes a whole year, and yet
their shoes will go In four months.
There are others who will make a pair
of shoes last two years. A man with a
short step always runs his heels over
quickest, but the man with a long, easy
stride will wear a round hole through
the middle of the sole. No you can't
tell a mean man from a good one by
the way he wears his shoes. I used to
think that feet of such and such a
shape belonged to honest men or to
rogues and that the wear on the heels
betrayed the difference between a sin
ner and a believer, but after a few
'honest' men bad bilked me out of their
footwear and a few 'rascals' bad paid
cash on the nail I ceased to study char
acter through shoe leather. I cement
on a patch, put a lift on the heel, and
after I've got my money I do no worry

There was a bit of fence opposite

Information for the Boy.
The instruction that nursemaids are
able to impart to the greedy young
mindk that are given into their charge is
truly fearful and wonderful. As a
Coney Island boat was passing the Bar
tholdi statue a 5-year-old youngster was
moved to ask the Milesian lady who at
tended him:
"W'ot's that, Jane?'
"That's Liberty," quoth Jane.
"W'ot's Liberty?' he asked again.
"W'y, just Liberty. Don't you know
w'ot Liberty is?'
W'ot's Liberty?' he insisted.
"Wy, you goose," instructed his
teacher, "Liberty is—w'y it's—Free
dom. And now yon know, don't you?"
And of course he did. Just wait until
somebody asks him.
There was more of the same kind from
the same source.
"W'ot's those, Jane?' he asked again,
with significant finger at the life pre
servers overhead.
"Them's life preservers," said Jane.
"W'ot are they for?'
"They're for when you fall in the
water and get drowned," she informed
him, "and when you do they make yon
float."
"After you're drowned?' asked tbe
boy.
"Oh, yes. I "do wish you'd keep still
and not ask so many questions, you bad
boy."
