tate of considerable amount was
not contested on some plea or
other. From all we can learn the
will of the late millionaire will be
contested and the papers are now
being prepared to that effect. The
contestant represents herself to be
tho wife of w. S. O'Brien and she
claims that she was legally married
to him and that the results of the
union were four children now liv-
ing. Her attorneys are claiming
for her hnlf the entire estate. Who
her attorneys are is not known at
present. The reports have named
a firm who stand at the head of the
bar, but we understand, from per-
sons conversant with their BUSH
ness, that they never take charge
of these kind of cases. The con-
testant is said to be lady of
French descent, about forty years
of age. 1t is represented that, for
several years, she resided on Polk
street, but recently she took up her
residence with Mr.. O'Brien, at his
residence on Suffer street. 1t is
also said that the deceased settled
$3.50, 900 on her about two years
ago and that six months before his
death he offered to compromise by
giving her S500,000, on condition
that she would renounce all claims
upon him. This she refused to do.
These rumors are in general circu-
lation and are published only as
rumors and for what they are
worth.

Hog Pastures.
c. F. ClarksOn, in State Registt

BY all advanced hog raisers it is con-
ceded that Iowa has not one-ffth of the
clover pastures it should have for it's
four million of hogs. And now is the
time to begin preparation to repair this
deficiency. The ground for clover
should be prepared this fall, and there
is no time to lose as corn harvest is up
on us. The seed should be sown next
spring too early to prepare the soil by
blowing, hence it should be made ready
this fall. With the prospective price of
pork it cannot be produced on corn
alone. But with an abundance of clover
pasture supplied with pure cold water,
even the present price of pork can be
made remunerative. A comparison Of
the nutritivc materials on an acre of the
latter is worth two of either corn. oats,
or four of wheat, to stock growers This
calculation is made on the usual yield
of those crops-ifteen bushels of wheat,
forty bushels of oats or corn, and two
and one-half tons of clover This clover
occupies, or should, very important
place in the economy of farm manage
ment, and those who do not take advan-
tage OF it must have mortgages on the
farm instead of clover. This pasture
for hogs will last from the first Of June
till October-fve months. 1t is highly
nutritious, containing every element re-
CURED for the sustenance and full de-
velopment OF swine. The constituents
in it for forming flesh and fat largely
predominant, while the abundance OF
the phosphate of lime which it contains
produces the necessary bones.
These five months Of clover pasture
is the season for raising pigs, and breed
ers have found that less corn and more
clover is just what is needed to keep
both SOW and pigs healthy. And at the
present price of pork, the farmer who
attempts to raise hogs by throwing them
nothing but corn will soon have his
farm taken from him by the foreclosure
of mortgage. 1t is as sure road to
poverty as raising wheat. Corn is in
fammatory, and many hog raisers know
that in its crude state each pound O
pork produced costs three times it's
value
Hence we urge all persons who pro-
pose raising hogs if they have not al
ready provided clover pasture, to begin
this fall for such desirable aid in thu
production of hogs. Get the ground III
order, and next spring SOW the clover in
April. And SOW literally if crop is
expected. From clover sown last April
we cut three tons of clover hay per acre
in July following-only three months
after sowing.

Grades as Mixers.


The american Agriculturist has the
following which is from the pen of Prof.
Stockbridge:
A recent writer suggests two very
important questions, the facts in rela-
ton to which, and the principles con-
trolling the case, should be well under
stood by all dairymen and breeders of
dairy stock. His query is: Do heif-
ers, from native or scrub mothers by
bulls of thoroughbred milking stock,
make better mixers than their dams;
and if SO, why? 1t is an indisputable
fact that many native cows are super
ior mixers and butter-makers, and the
quality is transmitted to their daugh-
ters in some cases, until family ex-
lists of local celebrity. This character
istic, however, has generally been lost
in the course of three or four genera
tons, for want Of care in keeping up
the regular line, or by the yearly infu-
sion OF blood of base or unknown quail
ty. 1t is quite possible that remarka-
BILE milking qualities in an individual
native COW might be perpetuated to re-
mote descendants, and even increased,
by careful selection Of the sire, and in
and-in breeding. But that is the meth
cd by which thoroughbreds are pro-
duced, and requires skill and intelli-
gence Of a high order, and years of OBJ
servation and labor. With good ma
tive cow as the basis or stock, much
anxiety and time may be saved, by an
immediate infusion Of the fixed blood
of thoroughbred of the desired type
and the result will always answer the first
query in the affirmative. The calf will
be better than the dam, in some respects
and worse in none. AS an accident OF
sport, it is possible the dam might be a
better mixer than the dam or breed Of
the sire, and the calf taking the type of
the sire be inferior to her, but the rule
taught by experience is the other way
In this case the characteristics of the
offspring are determined by the long
known law, that the longer class Of
animals is developed IN single line, the
greater is their transmitting power,
with the more certainty do they i'm
press their qualities on the offspring.
The blood of the dam having no line Of
descent, and no accumulated force, is
oyerborne by the thoroughbred sire.
Theoretically the progeny of such a
connection is more than half thorough
bred, and should develop more than
half of the sire's stock Of qualities in
milk and form. There is but little dan
ger of rcversion to original form if this
method of breeding be adhered to; but
even it there were, it is undoubtedly
the. cheapest, quickest and surest way
to develop fixed milking qualities from
native cows.

Western Dairying.

1t is contended by the eastern dairies
that the West cannot compete with
them in the production of butter and
cheese. for the reason that we are too
far from market. This, they contend,
our competing in the same market-to
w.t. heavy freight bills over long trans
portation lines, and the impossibility Of
having our dairy products go into mar
ket as fresh and in as good order as
those of the East. Is this so? The av-
erage price of pasture land in Iowa is
$40 per acre. That of Northern Ohio
or New York is $50 per acre. The rent
or interest of the money in our case, is
81 per acre, in the East Sc per acre.
East or West, it will take three acres in
pasture, and grain or roots, to keep a
COW twelve months This will give the
cost in the West at So and in the East
at $l8, for the rent or interest of the
land for keeping cow per year. The
freight on the product OF COW, of eth
err butter or cheese for a year, to New
York, is not over five dollars, when it
will cost nearly that for their short
transportation. This, then, settles the
question in favor of the West. Then
we raise the refrain, Come out West
with your cows
" But not in as good condition" But
ter can be packed in just as neat pack
ages in Iowa as New York. Put into
refrigerator cars in Central Iowa, in
two days it will be in New York. as
sweet, clean and pure as any Of the gilt
edged in New York or Rhode Island.
In every point of view we have the ad-
vantage. Our soil is as prolific of all
the sweet grasses and as abundant in
pure water No country can excel us
in the purity of our atmosphere No
local, contagious or malarial diseases
afflict our cows. Everything bids us
enter into this industrial branch of ag-
riculture, with every prospect of sue
cess, But it must be done right. No
cheaply constructed machinery or fill
thy quarters, food or drink, for cows
must be tolerated. The full import
ance of sweetness and cleanliness in ev-
erything must be fully appreciated.
Outwardly and inwardly everything
must be of the choicest kind.
But there should be greater effort
made to supply the home market with
a better article than is now offered to
the public. Notwithstanding we have
some of the best cheese factories in
Iowa, nearly all our retail groceries are
selling Eastern skim cheese. 1t is a
third class article, but sold at top prices.
But few of our citizens know what
good cheese is, and show their ignor-
ance by contending that skim cheese is
as good as the best whole milk cheese.
Nine-tenths Of the cheese which comes
from the East is skim cheese, and as a
consequence there is not an increasing
demand for that kind of diet If all
our people could have for three months
such cheese as is made in some of the
factories in Jones, Delaware or Cerro
Gordo counties, or the Pleasant Valley
factory in Grundy county, there would
no longer be sale for the hard and
tasteless skim cheeses which are now
crowded on us from the East. A good
article can seldom be had in our grocer
les. A large proportion of the poorer

Save Your Brine.

Many farmers throw away the old
brine in beef and pork barrels and fish
packages. Sometimes they pour it on a
grass patch or under tree and kill the
vegetation. If they desire to kill vegeta-
ton with it they should pour it on patches
of burdocks or thistlcs, or around trees
that are worthless. It is better, how
ever, to use for manure, in which case
it should be applied with judgment. It
may be applied to asparagus beds or
ounce trees literally, but to other
things sparingly. Ordinarily the best
disposition to make of it is to pour it
on manure or compost heap and allow
it to be absorbed.
