The thresher finished work at Haar
Brothers' farm today, (Thursday).
The crops are the nest we have yet
heard of in this neighborhood, and the
yield per acre of each is as follows:
wheat, 11 busheis per acre; barley,
31J bushels per acre; oats, 22 bush-
els per acre. This is a very good
yield in general, and will be hard to
beat.—Immigrant's Guide.
On the A. O. Edmonds ranch it
is reported that one or two horses
died the other day, but it is not
known whether or not the dreaded
contagion which is spreading over
the state is the cause. * * * It is
estimated that during the last sixty
days the elevators of the city have
paid out the sum of $210,000 for
wheat. That amount of money in
circulation ought to help some.—Lib-
eral News.
Frank Brannon. the notorious
bootlegger, not content with being
a lawbreaker himself, has evidently
inoculated nls family with the crimi-
nal germ, at least the following from
the Liberal News would so indicate:
"Frank Hrannon's son was caught
in the city last Friday night with a
bottle of booze on his person in the
act of delivering it to some one. He
was turned over to the juvenile court.
He is about thirteen years of age.'

Within the past week more than
twenty horses have died in Meade
county from this strange horBe dis-
ease. The only means of saving
the horses seems to be to keep
them off the grass. Many ot
those who have lost horses, have
since corralled their horses or
made pastures of their alfalfa
fields. It will be well for all
owners of horses to take every pre-
caution and do what they can to
stamp out the disease.— Meade News.

There Is a general car shortage on
the Rock Island now. A sample oi
the demand for cars is shown at Lib
eral, Kansas. There were 1.000 cars
demanded by shippers during the past
week and the Rock Island had but
thirteen cars to offer. Rock Island
traffic officials say they are unable
to get enough box < ars to handle the
wheat and grain movement on this
division. * * * L. F. Whitescarver
said last Saturday, when speaking of
the money to be derived from the
cream business in the Panhandle,
that he had sold $425 worth of cream
in Stratford during six months of
last year and three months of this
year. This is a pretty good income
from jUBt a side line on the farm.
* * * Ouy Sweeny and Cllne Gilbert,
of the Ruby neighborhood, are oth-
ers who have made a fine yield of
wheat. They had In 36 acres and
threshed out 784 bushels, which
makes the turnout more than 20
bushels per acre This wheat was of
a good grade and sold at the present
market In Stratford would bring
about $17 per acre. They also made
1781 bushels of oats from sixty
acres. - Stratlord Star.
Here is an instance of someone's
carelessness as told by the Hooker
Advance, and worth keeping in m'nd:
"Word was received in Hooker Tues-
day that a serious prairie tire was
raging about three miles east ot town.
Several men got into Claud Hender-
son's machine and drove out but it
was not as big a tire as they had
thought it would be. it started
about a mile south of O. J. Wilkins
farm and burned a strip nearly a
mile long and a half mile wide. How
the fire started no one knows but
it i'b presumed to have been caused
by someone throwing a lighted cigar-
ette or the live contents of a pipe
into some dry weedB near the road.
Tuesday was a very windy day, and
had this been a little later in the
season when the weedB are dryer,
there is no telling how much damage
would have been done. It should be
an object leBBon to those who Binoke
to be careful where they Bcatter fire
and to others to keep a good fire
break plowed around their buildings.
While we are about it we might
mention that the town of Hooker
has several patches of weeds that
will make a beautiful fire this fall
If they ever get started when the
wind is of the right velocity and in
the right direction. Have the proper-
ty owners of the town ever given
these weeds their attention?"
into the hundreds of bushels and at
$1.25 to $1.50 per bushel, the income
from this source will be considerable
to our farmers. The hundreds of
acres of young orchards which have
been set out in Beaver county the
past few years are just now begin-
ning to yield and the crop has been
abundant this year.—Beaver Herald.

One of the great virtues is the art
of taking defeat gracefully. Some
fellows enjoy defeating their oppo-
nents immensely but when they meet
with defeat are not able to accept it
gracefully. * « • If people spent as
much time and study In devising
means to keep out of trouble as they
do to get out of trouble when they
get In, there would be less trouble
and less sorrow and more happiness
and more justice in the world today."
A timely observation from the
Bucklin Banner: "The car shortage
which has been threatening has ar
gion packed in places with "strongy-| rived. Cars are getting scarce
lus armatus," worms from three-
eighths to a half-inch in length. The
masB of worms shuts off the blood

ling says the eggs or larva of the
worms may be on the grass and are
hatched Inside the animals when
swallowed with the grass. This theory
the elevators have been cut to
three cars per week. Predictions are
that the shortage will get worse
from now on. and It will be well to
look to your coal bins and not be

"Cardui Cured Me1
For nearly ten years, at different times, Mrs. Mary Jinks
of Treadway, Tenn., suffered with womanly troubles. She
says: "At last, I took down and thought I would die. I
could not sleep. I couldn't eat I had pains all over. The
doctors gave me up. I read that Cardui had helped so
many, and I began to take It, and it cured me. Cardui
saved my lifel Now, 1 can do anything."
Cardui Womaift Tonic
If you are weak, tired, worn-out, or suffer from any of
the pains peculiar to weak women, such as headache,
backache, dragging-down feelings, pains in arm, side, hip
or limbs, and other symptoms of womanly trouble, you
should try Cardui, the woman's tonic. Prepared from per-
fectly harmless, vegetable ingredients, Cardui is the best
remedy for you to use, as It can do you nothing but good.
It contains no dangerous drugs. It has no bad after-effects.

Last Tuesday in company with J. A
Kelley, E. W. Joslin and R. M. Craw
ford, the editor of this paper made a
trip to the new railroad in Haskell
county We crossed the river at
Brown's plate where the railroad is
to bridge the Cimarron. They have
the greater part of the approaches
to the bridge graded up and will
soon be ready to put in the bridge.
From there we followed the line to
Sublette where a big force of men
is busy laying steel on the main line
and on switches. The town of Sub-
lette at this t'me consists of a tent
hotel. The grade is practically com-
pleted into Santanta and will be
completed to the river in about three
weeks. The track laying gang ex-
pects to be in Santanta by Sept. 15th.
By that time the grade to the river
will be far enough ahead of them to
allow them to keep right on in this
direction. We saw J. W. Fizer, who
has a mile of grading this side of
Santanta which he told us he would
finish Wednesday morning. There
are about 200 teams working on the
grade between Santanta and the river.
Two camps have been established this
side of the river and the grade is be-
ing pushed on through the corner of
Grant county. The new railroad is
not all we saw on the trip. We saw
field after field of splendid broom
corn, maize, Kafir and corn. That
section of the country is blest with
an abundance of crop this year and it
is of the finest quality. The trip con-
vinced us that with the coming or
the railroad, all Stevens county needs
is more farmers to farm the best
soil on earth and make Stevens coun-
ty one of the best agricultural coun-
ties In the world.—Hugoton Hermes.
The llorw Kptdewk
To Horse Owners: Keep your
horses off the pasture, until frost
comes. Keep on dry feed.
Do not let the horses drink from
shallow pools. G he them well
water.
There is no danger of horses be-
coming affected which are on dry
feed and drinking well water.
This epidemic is not coutagious,
and will not spread to horses not in-
i. cted
The infection conies from the pas-
ture and water in shallow pools.
This advbe given repeatedly by
the best veterinary counsel, should
rel'eve the anxiety of horse owners
who fear a general spread of the
present epidemic.
So far as < an be learned, uot a
case of the epidemic has occurred
where the horses have been away
from pasture and shallow (tool water.
"There is 110 need of our people
becoming unduly alarmed," said Dr.
Bishop, of the Hutchiuson veterinary
hospital, who returned recently trom
western Kansas. "tiorsemeu need
not be afraid to bring their stock
to the state fair. There will be no
danger.''
Dr. A T. Knlseley, of the Kansas
City Veterinary college, who has been
In the stricken district, where he
personally examined over 200 cases,
declares the epidemic comes from a
mold on the grass
Dr. Knlseley issued a statement
last night. In which he says:
"The abundant rains of the late
spring and early summer caused the
grass to grow luxuriantly. Subse-
quently rains have freshened the pas-
tures. and the horses. In cropping
the grass, have eaten the mold that
has formed at the roots In the layer
of decayed vegetation. The cattle
because of their habit of not eating
so closely to the roots, have escaped
the disease.
"The mold which the horses have
eaten is a food poison, and produces
a cerebretls in the animal much re-
sembling meningitis The diplococ-
cus that has been Isolated liy the
chemists is that caused by the mold
and Is not of an infectious nature.
"The disease is not contagious. 1
remember one 'nstance in Ness cotin-
t) where twentj teams beloasina to
a railroad construction gang were at
work within a few rods of a barn In
which four horses died of the dis-
ease. The horses that died had been
In a pasture, but of the twenty teams
tied up at the wagons and fed on
dry feed, although they were watered
at the same place where the four
had drunk, not a single one was
taken sick. The only thing 1 can ad
vise, is that the horsos be taken
from the pastures and be kept 011
dry feed until the epidemic paBses."
Dr. W. K. Stouder, a veter nartaa
of the state live stock board, Is mak-
ing investigations in Rice county, In
the vicinity of Sterling. Several
cases were found in that vicinity. Dr.
Stouder conducted a post mortem ex-
amination of a horse which died at
the Welty farm near Sterling. It
showed the same condition existing
that has killed so many horses in
western Kansas. A worm, "strongy-
lus armatus" was found In the ar-
teries.
"The horses affected have had ac-
cess either to grass or recently cut
hay.' Dr. Stouder said. "No horses
on a total diet of dry feed are af-
fected. This proves conclusively that
the trouble comes from something
in the pastures or newly cut hay."
Dr. Stouder urges that everyone
should keep horses off the pasture
of all kinds, feed nothing but dry
feed; permit no surface water to be
given horses: clean all tanks and sup-
ply only well water.
He also recommends that horses
be carefully drenched with one ounce
of raw turpentine in oiip quart ot
raw linseed oil. repeating in three
days.
Several more cases of death from
the horse epidemic are reported in
Reno county, all In the western part
of the county. C. C. Johnson, Ber-
nard Iavielle and Abe Miller, of Wal-
nut township, each lost horses.
In Sylvia township losses are re-
ported on the farms of John Blair,
the Cramer boys. Harry Blain and
Ed Withroder. Charles Johnston, of
Huntsvllle township, lost a horse.
Others in that section who sus-
tained losses are W. Black, and I. N.
White of near Sterling. Dick Eng-
brecht of near Nlckerson, and Fred
Hars of near Hudson.
All of these cases are of horses
which have been on pasture and
drinking from shallow pools.

No man can become powerful, great
and potential only through trials and
tribulations He who has not tasted
the bitterness of adversity knows
nothing of the sweet of success; he
who has not experienced the depth
of laverty cannot enjoy the pleasure
of prosperity: he who has not eaten
a crust cannot enjoy a feast; he who
has not. In the solitude of his own
loneliness, with no companion but
sorrow, become lost In despair over
his Inability to overcome his environ-
ments. knows anything of the joy
that comes when the certainty of the
grasp of life and its affairs are his;
he who has never endured OethBem-
ane will never enjoy heaven. Like
the monarch of the forest that
reaches its grandeur through the
storm and drouth of "enturlee. man
reaches his full stature only after

Lincoln Neb., Sept. 7.—State vet-
erinarian Rooetron returned from a
state tour today with a gloomy report
on the ravages of the horse disease,
which he diagnoses as unusually
deadly from cerebro spinal meningi-
tis. It exists in practically all the
southern part of the states. Mules
are nearly all exempt.
Topeka. Kan.. Sept. 7—The first
good news from the horse plague In
western Kansas appeared today with
word from eight counties in the
northwest that no new cases appeared
there yesterday. "Change of feed,
taking horses off pasture and giving
them clean feed and pure water has
done much good." said Livestock
Commissioner Mercer today.
