Head.
President Roosevelt has endor
sed the Carnegie spelling move

Printer Spellings that hereaftei
all messages from the president
and all other documents emanat
ing from the White House shall
be printed in accordance with
the recommendation of the spell
ing reform committees headed b>
Brander Matthews, professor ol
English at Columbia university
This committee has published a
list of 300 words in which spell
ing is reformed. This listcontaim
such wnrdo

as the spelling for "through" and
"though." The president's official
\ sanction of this reform move
1 ment is regarded as the speediesi
and most effective method of inaugurating
the new system ol
spelling throughout the country
Not ouly will the printed docu
meuts emanating from the presi'
dent utilize the reform spelling,
but his correspondence will b<
spelled in the new style. Secretary
Loeb has sent for the list o

There is no economy ill keep

It hardly shows up v.ell to set

Hollow Horn and Hollo1
Tail.
Kd TIollandf Jssnar. ?
would like to know if the diseai
3 of cattle known as "hollow horn
and "hollow tail" are not ju
imaginary diseases, and if the
are uot just lack of care an
feeding, and if these were attem
- ed to as they should be if a
j such complaiuts would not 1
r avoided.
Answer: 1 have very oftc
. stated in reply to inquiries thi
I the diseases known as the "ho
i low horn ' and "hollow tail" ai
. not recoguized as such in an
- veterinary work that 1 know of,<
f have heard of. They are fane
, ful or imaginary diseases. Thoi
who believe in such do not agri
among themselves as to what tl
i symptoms are. I suspect that i
' a majority of cases, the name
[ are applied to cattle in very lo
I condition from want of prope
care and food and shelter. N
t doubt in many cases the catt
have tick fever, caused by tl
I L!i- -r A t

Ah a matter of fact, every adu
cow's horns are hollow, and then
. fore when bored into, as som
advise, in order to put peppt
} and salt or something of th:
sort into them, the gimlet bon
I in about a quarter of an int
and then jumps to the other sid
I which proves at once, what wi
already believed by the operato
I that the cow's horns are hollov
I have seen twenty or moi
, healthy cows dehorned in tl
j course of an hour or two; bi
have never seen one of the hori
, that was otherwise than hollow
t My theory for what is aupposr
to be hollow tail, is that a cow
, tail has been jerked by a dog <
some person and a joint betwec
( ittw 1/1 buo vBriBOi'ae nas been a
parated. You know it ia vet
common for a cow's tail to 1
? jerked off by a dog, or becom
entangled in a barb wire fen<
and pulled off by the animal i
j its efTorts to "get looae." Th
force may not be sufficient to ei
tirely separate the tail, but onl
aufliciont to dislocate the bone
The weight of the switch and tl
constant use of the tail then pr
vents a reunion of the disjoints
portions. This, however, does tl
cow no harm. Hut when found i
this condition accompanif
with indication of disease tl
owner concludes that the co
has "hollow tail," and proceet
i to do something to the tail,? A
