BY OUR SPECIAL CORRESPONDENTS.

Barney Dewitt, who has been confined to his home the past two weeks with a sore arm, is some better at this writing. The big tires which have been raging on the Lawler and Kent ranches the past week or two, were put out Friday night by the little snow that fell.

J. G. Ligget, who has been down at Watseka, 111,, the past two or three months, cutting sawlogs, returned to Fair Oaks the latter part of the week. Rev. Elam of Rensselaer occupied the pulpit in the Christian church Friday evening. He will preah but one more sermon here, we are sorrv to say, and that will be in two weeks from that evening. We feel that the Rensselaer Christain people have made a big mistake in not keeping him there, ns he is a fine preacher, well educated and surely a good man. Mrs. Henry Wilson and two little bovs ranging from 3to 4 years old, who live on one of Bruce Moffitt's farms, came to town Tuesday to do some trading. She left the hildren in the buggy without tieing the horse and went in the store. The older child got restless and got out of the buggy and went into the store also, when the other child picked up the whip and applied ft to the horse which turned around and started for home. After the horse had run quite a distance it was headed off by Jake Spitzer, who, being a light foot, cut across a corner just- in time to save —no telling what kind of an accident. This will surely be a lesson to the lady.

HINTS FOR FARMERS

Lameness In Horses. In a general way wounds on any part of the body may be treated as follows: First remove all dirt or foreign matter. Cold water is good at first, but It must not be continued too long or It will cause cicatrization, and it should be stopped as soon as all fear of inflammation Is over. In thefore quarters lameness Is generally in in the foot or in the parts below theknee; In the hind quarters it Is In the hamstring, fetlock or the foot, these being the most susceptible parts. If the reason for lameness cannot be at once seen, the shoe should be removed and the foot examined carefully; the shoe may be too tight or there may be a tender part on the sole of the feet. If so, relieve pressure or apply poultices. If the coronet, fetlock Joint or sinews are tender, apply cold or warm bathing and rest. Strains of the fetlock are very frequent, and cold dressings should be applied, with a moderately tight bandage. Lameness In theshoulder Is very rare.—American Cultivator. Barnyard Manure. Barnyard manure not only supplies food for plants, but it enables the soil to retain more moisture. This is often a very important quality and is never estimated by the chemist in comparing it with commercial fertilizers. It alsoseems that, while keeping the surface soil more moist, It also increases the water deeper down, thus making the best possible condition for plant growth. Of course when rough manureIs plowed under the first effect is todry out the surface, but this does not last long. When it is once thoroughly wet and settled this effect disappears. The first foot of well manured land may hold'eighteen to twenty tons moreof water per acre than the same soil unmanured. To Produce Good Wool. Wool is affected by breed, climate and food. Sheep will thrive in some sections better than in others, and wool from some flocks will bring higher prices than other wools. To produce good wool the sheep must be well fed, but not too much so. If the food is not sufficiently nutritious the wool will lack in strength, be dry, harsh, flabby and rough to the touch. *Wool from, sheep that are kept on pastures which provide abundant herbage la long in fiber, soft, white and strong. It is claimed that all foods which promote perspiration produce fine wool, but It Is not necessary to make a selection of foods If the sheep have a variety.
