Cause of Vertigo I'm Geese.

The most frequent difficulty with
ducks and geese is that of vertigo. They
drop down on their feet or fall over to
one side suddenly, at times as rapidly
recovering, or dying Immediately. This
happens only when ducks or geese are
fed on too much grain. The best system
to adopt in summer is to put them in a
field where short grass is abundant, or
even young weeds, and let them get the
food for themselves. They require but
very little food in summer, as they are
then well over the laying period, becom-
ing non-producers. If this fact is kept
in view-that of the non-producers re-
quiring but little food during warm
weather-there would be saving in ex-
penses as well as fewer losses from dis
ease. but it is difficult to convince those
having good breeds that there is such n
thing as killing with Misunderstanding
too much.-Journal of Agriculture.

THE FARMING WORLD.
CORN ON THE COB.
Some Reasons why 1t Should New
he Fed to Horses.

Some Reasons why 1t Should Never
De Fed to Horses.
Corn on the cob should never be fed
to horses, as there is always risk
of making them sick by doing SO.
When corn on the cob is fed, unless
horses appetite is carefully noted and
just enough is given to him, he will.
eat the cob also, and as the cob is more
or less indigestible there is big chance
of making him sick and losing him.
In feeding horse care should be taken
to give him just enough and no more,
too much being almost as bad as too
little.
I have just heard of an experience
with good horse which proves the
truth of what have said. One of my
friends who has a negro hostler has
had trouble about keeping his horses
well and in good condition, owing to
reason, lost his temper with one of
the horses he gave that horses break
fast, dinner or supper to another horse,
and when the stinted horse got his next
meal (for the negro was afraid to cut
him more than one meal at time) he
would eat cobs as well as the corn.
One evening some time ago, when the
stock came in from work, one of the
horses was sick and it was found that
he had indigestion. A remedy was
given, and when after long work on
him the sick animal evacuated great
number of pieces of cob as large as a
chestnut were found, which showed
No blame was attached to the hostler
at the time, but soon after another ne
gro who had a grudge against the i'll
tempered hostler told how the horses
were treated; investigation proved the
truth of the story and the hostler was
discharged. Since that time the horses
have been fed on shelled corn and there
has been no trouble, all of them keep
ing in perfect health and looking WELL
1t is some trouble and a slight adj
ditional expense to shell the corn for
the horses, but it is better to do this
than to have to sit up for hours with
sick horse and perhaps lose him at
of trouble to me to shell my corn, as
use for this purpose a little corn
shelter with which one man can easily
shell bushel of corn in ten minutes
or less. paid three dollars for it, and
the work is so light and pleasant that
the children on the place enjoy Smelling
large part of the corn used for the
horses. Cows can eat cobs without
danger, but horses cannot. A horse is
clean and choice animal and must be
more carefully treated than any othe,
class of stock or he will not thrive

A WOMAN'S REVENGE.
Oeiilah Fales Says She Killed jerome
Kern at Cedar EaIIs

hern AT Cedar Falls.
Delilah Fales has torn aside the veil
that shrouded the tragic death of Je-
rome Kern at Cedar Falls. The man
was found dead in lonely wood on the
2So OF last August. and the young wom-
an now confesses that she fired the bull
let's that let out his life blood. Her
terrible story--one of vengence for an
irreparable wrong-was placed before
the grand jury.
AS result of her confession, which
corroborates that of her lover, William
Kern, the son of the murdered man, the
grand jury of Bremen county returned
into court with an indictment charging
degree. She was Immediately ar
raigned before Judge Clyde, and given
"a hours in which to plead. She APP
peared in court before the time ex-
pired and pleaded guilty of murder in
the second degree and Judge Clyde
sentenced her to 20 years in the peni-
Tertiary.
The grand jury also returned an in
dictment charging VIII Kern with muir
der in the first degree, and on being
brought into court he entered plea
of guilty of murder in the second de-
gree and the judge sentenced him to 10
years Imprisonment.
Miss Fales' confession covers about
ten closely written pages. 1t starts by
telling of the love affair of herself and
young Kern, and of the opposition of
the father.
When she was a mere child of 10
years she charges that the elder Kern
accomplished her ruin, and that ever
after he harassed her with his atten-
tions. More than that, he sought by
blackening her reputation, as she
states, to keep others from paying
court to her. Twice before she became
attached to the murdered mans son
she had been in fair way to become
happily married, but as many times
had Jerome Kern poisoned her lovers
against her by his venomous scandals.
At last, when by the same method he
sought to prevent his son from marry
ing her, the pent-up hatred of years
vented itself in the commission of the
dark crime.
Then follows detail of the plotting
of the two to lay the crime al the door
of John Lewis, former lover of De-
lilah's. They even prepared a letter
purporting to have been written by the
deceased on the day of his murder, and
which was left where it would be read
lily found, as it was few days ago.
This letter said that if harm came to
Kern, Lewis must be held responsible
William Kern's confession corroborates
that of Miss Fales in almost every de-
tail.

The Most Desirable Hog.

The most desirable hog is one which
will make side weighing from AZ to SIS
pounds. What is most needed is hog
which will develop well in flesh, have a
deep side. well proportional ham and
shoulder, and which can be put on the
market when weighing 165 to 100
pounds. Care should be exercised in
breeding to develop hog with a good,
thick belly; special attention should be
given to producing type which will
back down even with fat and carry a
side as nearly as possible even through
out.-Dakota Field and Farm.

HINTS FOR BEGINNERS.
Poultry Raising Is Not n Rapid Road.
tn Wealth.


to wealth.
1t is unfortunate for one to enter into
business and fail because of igno-
rance or lack of knowledge of how
to manage. and it is seldom that it is
done in mercantile pursuits; yet hum
dreds attempt the poultry business I'M
der the supposition that anybody can
raise chickens" when the fact is that
the poultry business requires more
skill in management than is required
in raising cattle or other large stock.
The reason is that if farmer has one
or two cows, the small number permits
him to become familiar with each ami
NAL He knows their peculiarities, the
kinds of food preferred by each. and
should one of them become sick he
quickly detects it and at once proceeds
to use remedies, if necessary sitting
up all night to take care of it. With
flock of so hens, however, the case is
different. Although the flock will
not require any more room than one
COW, yet there are so individuals, each
being entirely different in many re-
spects from the others, and all having
their characteristics and peculiarities,
making it much more difficult to un-
derstand their requirements. The or
binary farmland seldom notices the
poultry except to occasionally give a
mess of corn, and but few farmers give
sufficient personal attention to fully
understand the thorough management
of flock so as to derive the largest
profit therefrom. On the large ma
jority of farms the owners do not know
how many fowls they lose in a year
from the numerous causes and dangers,
and there are also hundreds of farmers
who do not know whether their fowls
pay or not.
If the beginner (perhaps some person
who desires to seek living outside of
city on limited capitaD is to succeed
he must pursue course which differs
from that usually practiced on farms.
But how is he to know, and how can he
anticipate the various conditions I'M
der obstacles which he may meet?
Even small investment is a great deal
when it represents all, perhaps the saw
ings of years; hence the greater neces-
sity for knowledge in going into the
poultry business.
1t is possible that beginner may
have fair success the first year, but as a
rule such is not generally the case.
The only safe mode is to begin with a
few, expect no profit the first year and
but little the next, devoting the time to
learning without mourning much risk,
and success will come later.-Farm and
Fireside

HINTS FOR STOCKMEN.

The draft horse business is promis-
ing well.
Ice cold water is neither good for man
or beast.
A good curry comb in willing hand
saves grain.
The hoghouse should be low. A high
house is colder than a low one.
Don't pile old bedding at the head of
the stall under the horses nose.
Do not be in too big hurry to wean
the fall pigs. Get them well started to
growing.
Every stock owner should have on
hand remedies for ordinary diseases and
wounds.
Swine do not require high temporal
ture. A temperature of As degrees is
high enough.
The bottom of a horses hoof is strong
and when the sheer pares it off he COM
mits crime.
Good breeds and good representatives
of breeds, well taken care of, indicate a
good farmer.
After separating the calf from it's
mother, feed the natural milk as soon
as drawn, for week or ten days.
Curry the cows? Yes. Currying re-
moves the dirt and cleans the skin, sand
that is of as much value to cow as to
horse.
Don't feed cold weather. By that we
mean don't neglect to have warm win
ter shelter, and thus save grain which
will be necessary to keep up uselessly
wasted animal heat.-Western Plow-

MEANT MURDER FOR YEARS.
Startling story Brought Out In n
Trial at Davenport.

One of the most unique crimes in the
history of Scott county is being inves-
tigated in the district court at Daven-
port. The trial of Richard Steinecke,
who on September s shot his father in
the neck, nearly killing him, was begun.
The sons arrest was followed by the
revelation that he had been meditat.
ing the deed since he was nine years
old. His mothers death occurred then,
ten years ago, and he says he has al
ways believed that his fathers abuse
caused her death.
The father is farmer of Rocking
ham township. For month after his
sons bullet lodged in his neck he lay
in st. Luke's hospital in Davenport, his
life in danger and injury to his vocal
chords having almost destroyed his
power of speech. The defense will be
insanity.

Every person, male or female, shrinks
from badness. II adds to the appearance
OF age and is a serious discomfort. The
cases are rare when the falling out of the
hair may not be stopped, and a new and
healthy growth of the hair promoted. The
hair grows in the scalp like plant in the
soil. If a plant fourishes, 1t must have
constant attention; 1t must be watered
regularly and find its food in the soil
where 1t is rooted. It's so with the hair
Neglect is usually the beginning of bald
ness. Dandruff is allowed to thicken on
the scalp. The hair begins to loosen. The
scalp loses its vitality. The hair, insult
hciently nourished. begins TO fade and to
fall. The instant need in such case is
some practical preparation which, sup
plying the needed nourishment TO the
scalp. will feed the hair, give II strength,
and SO produce a strong and healthy
growth. All this is done by DR. Ayers
Hair Vigor, the most practical and valua.
Bile preparation for the hair that can be
obtained. 1t tones up the scalp, does away
with dandruf, stops the hair from falling,
