RRKAI. MILL AT KIDNEY
Sidney Telegraph
A new project tn this town is that
of the Sidney Cereal Mill. This
much needed plant is financed by the
Incorporators, Edward Sits, George
Olidewell, Leroy Site, and David R.
JoncB. The mill will begin manu
facturing cereals, and it does not take
a very vivid imagination to see in the
not too distant future, large flour
mills arise from this modest begin
ning. When Cheyenne county pro
duces wheat that makes the best
flour turned out by Minnesota mills
of world-wide trade, and when our
county produces thousands of bushels
ofthls wheat, it looka like the height
of extravagance to ship out our wheat
and ship In the products made from
the wheat. These gentlemen are to
be commended for making this start
here where there is the brightest
kind of an outlook.

(By W. P. BWTJLER. Department of

The true cause of pink eye In cattle
Is unknown. Its Infectiousness cannot
be doubted. It travels through a herd
rapidly, apparently Irrespective of the
age of the animals. Tbe disease run
Its course In eight or tweedays and
may result In a satisfactory recovery
or the animal may be partially or to
tally blind in on or both eyes us a
result of the attack. Apparently ani
mals do not become Immune to this
disease. It is manifest by a watery
appearance of the eye, which later be
comes more or less prurient and the
eyelids become gummed together. This
attracts files and is a very unsightly
thing, as well as a torture to the af
fected animal. The treatment Bhould
be as follows:
Segregate the affected animals by.
putting them If possible In a shady
pen. Keep an abundant supply of
pure, cool drinking water before them,
und treat the eyes twice a day as fol
lows: First wash off the lids and eye
lashes with warm wuter and castlle
soap, then open the eye by catching
up the upper lid with the thumb and
first ringer and rolling It back over the
second finger. By meuns of a medicine
dropper or cotton swab, wash the eye
out with the following solution:
Pyoktanln ten grains, boric acid
four drams, lead acetate one dram,
wuter sufficient to muke eight ounces.
