All vrEttt the friond3hip of America,

Exposition as well as of the Panama

ipiIE barber was very busy and the
R shop was full of men waiting for
him to practice his tonsorial art upon
their beads and faces.
One man, Mr. Blank, became tired of
waiting for his turn to come and started
to leave. Although his beard had come
out pretty heavy, he thought no one
would notice it and that he could come
back the next morning when Hughes,
the barber, was not so very busy. Tho
barber, not wishing a customer to go
away unattended to accosted him by
saying: "iou're not leavin' us is you
Mr. Blank!"
Mr. Blank felt of his face and re
plied: "Why;! don't need a shave, do
I Hughes?"
Hughes thereupon looked his customer
over critically and answered him as
suredly: "No, youse don't need a shave,
all youse needs is a hair cut on de
face." - ;

parrot he had bought a few days

"What is tho matter with it J" the

Sudden Feed Change
Causes Bloat
fITII the coming of spring, when
cattle are changed from dry feed
to Dnsture. to avoid serious loss
it is necessary for tho farmer to waton
carefully for bloat.
Bloat is a torm of indigostion due to
the excessive formation and accumula
tion of various gases in tho paunch or
rumen. The attack is especially apt to
occur when cattle are gudaonly ehangea
from a dav diot to creen clover or al
falfa. It is ofton seen during warm,
wet weather, or when heavy qow or
.vain mm rImh the foilatre.
The chtot symptom of bloating is s
middnn dwtensiou in the lolt xianK,
which swells up and appears as tight as
a drum head when thumped witn tue nn
any. Belief must be immediate if suffoca
' tinn is to be avoided, and consist in
providing an artificial outlet for the
gas by "tapping" the animal. This is
best accomplished by inserting a trocar
' and canula into the most prominent por-
i tion of the swolliug. To prevent furth
V or gas formation, ndministor a drcneh of
" two ounces of turpentine in ft pint of
law linseed oil or a quart of new milk.
As a prevention, avoid turning the
eattle out until the dew or rain has
dried off. In addition, giving a full
feed of dry roughage, each as the ani
mals are accustomed to, just before turn
ing them out, will be found helpful in
jirevanting this trouble., t-'.
ND you want to Marry my
daughter- Have you any steady

"Sure."
"What is it?"

fjAEK TWAIN had finished his
speech at a dinner-party when a
lawyer rose, shoved his hands deep into
his trousers pockets, as was his habit,
and laughingly inquired of those pres
ent: "Doosn't it strike this company as
a little unusual that a professional
humorist should be funny?"
When the laughter that greeted this
sally had subsided, Mark Twain
drawled out:
"Doesn't it strike this company as
a little unusual that a lawyer should
havo his hands in his own pockets I"

"Did your daughters marry toll?"
"Not exactly. One married a farmer
and another married an ultimate con
sumer, but the third may make up for
all that."
"How so?"
"She's engaged to a middleman."
'
"Yes, I lost my friend."
"How was that?"
"We agreed to be cerfoctlv frank
with each other."
'Yes!" j
'Well, I got in my criticism first."
