STRANGE SORT OF FISH
TAKEN FROM ROCK RIVER.

A strange member of the tinny
tribe captured by Thomas Zoeckler
and William Gresser in a minnow
seine in Rock river was exhibited by
the captors in town today. 1t was
abous fifteen inches long and resem-
bled flat-head catfish in color and in
the shape of its head. Bat it was
more slender and the back part of its
body looked exactly like that of an
leel. Two were taken together and
they are thef ly specimens ever
known to haV~ been seen in these
waters.

the ordinances of the city of Rock Is

the Davenport, Rock Island d. North

the company has made Rock Island as
complete a way station as it is posi-
BILE to conceive of. What of it's trains
do not whisk through in one direction
to their stopping point at Davenport,
are hustled through to Moline, which
is made their terminus on that
end, and in addition we have
the delightful prospect of the
comPany's Kansas City short line
f4voring Davenport exclusively. And
in the meantime, Davenport is
working; quietlyS but naturally, to
get what 1t can in addition TO what
has already come to it by reason of
the advent of the Burlington to that
city. The changes it has already
succeeded in accomplishing in having
train runs originally terminating here
transferred TO that side have been
spoken of. and what more may re
ward we'll directed effort there time
only will tell, if Rock Island continues
to maintain a don 't-care spirit about
the matter. Who knows indeed, bat
that some morning we may wake up
and find the entire round house. and

There is nothing to be gained by
harboring i'll will toward neighboring

1t has been found impossible to

table for the St. Louis-St. Paul trains
on the C. B & O.. and it looks as
though passengers will have to con-
tinue to put p with box lunches for

when the ballasting of portions of the

export and Clinton, which is now in
progress, is completed the faster time
that can be made between those two
points will make a difference that eau
be used to advantage in longer stops
in Rock Island and Davenport. All
the additional time used here must
be made up by faster running be-
tween Galesburg and Clinton. OF
course considerable experimenting
will be necessary to reduce the time
card to the most economical basis.

proved in Chicago yesterday and

weather comes the hogs will be pre-
pared to take readily to grain that will
then be given them.
The cowpea, like clover. improves the
land instead of taking from it. In 9TH
er words. it both fattens the hogs and
fattens the land. So it follows that
the best summer pasture for hogs
would be to start them off early on
rye or wheat field as soon as clover is
well enough advanced to turn the hogs
on and keep them there until the latter
part of the summer and then finish
them for the summer on good pasture
of cowpeas. By this method you will
find yourself with a herd of fat, healthy
porkers and raised at small expense.
Not losing sight of the water supply,
which should be plentiful and healthy,
always remember that pastures for
your pigs should contain grasses that
are tender and juicy If you wish them
to thrive. Pigs do not have all of their
temporary set of teeth until they are 3
months old and of course cannot bite
or masticate anything old or tough,
and when they do cut their temporary
set they only contain about one-half
as many teeth as they have when they
have full permanent set. One of the
greatest causes of the death of so many
pigs is because they are placed on food
they cannot masticate and thereby die
of many disorders.

ONION HARVE ST.
When to Pull Them-Hov to Build a
Pile and Ventilate 1t.

When to Pull Then-Hoyv to Build .
Pile and ventilate 1t.
The thorough farmer has no weeds In
his onions when harvest time comes.
A clean field adds greatly to the pleas
ure and economy of harvesting the
crop White onions should be pulled
as soon as fungous spots begin to show
on the outer leaves. Pull three rows at
time and lay together straight, with
the tops all one way. Let them lie "a
hours, If good weather, before piling.
Two forms of piles are used here, the
small round pile and the long pile.
For the small pile make square bot
tom Of barrel slaves or boards nailed
to cleats. 1t will be the square Of the
length of a barrel staye. Pile three
windows or nine onion rows into one
row of piles. Grasp a large handful of
onions by the tops and set them on the
barrel staye platform with tops out
side and so on around, leaving six
inch airshaft and drawing in near the
top. Keep the onions in and tops out.
Bring the tops together and point up
in conical or old fashioned beehive
shape Some weeds or fertilizer sack
held on with stones finishes the pile.
Such a pile will cut out from one to
two bushels.
The long pile is made by mailing four
or five four inch fence Stats upon cross
cleats. On these the onions are piled,
with bulbs in and tops out, drawn in
at the top, making pile two and half
feet high. One of our neighbors goes
further than this and puts slat rack
through the middle, so that the air can
have free circulation endwise through
the pile. Another plan where one has
barn room enough is to cart in in bar
rels the day after pulling and leave
the onions in barrel dump piles in rows
on the floor. These rows of piles give
an opportunity for the circulation Of
air between. After a few days these
piles are turned over into new piles or
ridges.
Red and yellow onions require less
care than the whites, and some grow
ers pull them into II row windows
and let them lie there for month, rak-
ing them over for day or two, if good
weather, before carting. But bright
err onion can be made by piling into
small piles preventing sunburn and
weathering. Thus advises Rural New
Yorker correspondent.

Butchers never die Of consumption"
The big man with his sleeves rolled up,

this as he threw a beefsteak on the

1t sounded more like trade supersti-
ton than fact. but SO far as diligent
inquiry has been able to discover it is
true, although not generally known
outside of the meat chopping craft.
Butchers are no longer lived than
men in other walks of life. They are
subject to all the other ills that human
flesh Is heir to. but consumption they
do not have. So far as a reporter was
able to learn not single case is on
record of butcher in this city being
afflicted with the incurable wasting of

thousands Of victims annually.

SUMNER PASTURE FOR HoGs

When Clover Gets Too Dry, Turn
Them Into the Covpcas.
Clover stands higher in analysis than
aim lst any other grass for pasturage;
besides, 1t is useful to the farmer, more
so than most crops, as a fertilizer, for
nothing enriches the land more than
clover when plowed under in the fall
after having been pastured all summer
to the fullest extent, says a Kentucky
grower In Swine Advocate. Toward the
last of the summer months all clover
fields become somewhat rank and dry.
From then on they are not ample for
the thorough maintenance and growth
Of hogs, so other kinds of pasture must
be provided.
Search your books on feeding and see
If you can find anything that compares
with cowpeas. A patch of them would
be the very thing to finish out your
summer pasture. The peas themselves
stand ninth and the hay twelfth in
feeding value of all mill products :
grain, green fodder and hay, which is
very high, considering so American
feeding materials are treated. Hogs
love this pasture, and with the eating
of the peas and the green pea vines
they come to the fall months sleek and
almost fat enough for the market.
In making a pasture of cowpeas do
not try to get all of one kind or vari-
ETY.. Get for the first variety that will
make large quantity of vines and fol-

Kansas wheat growers are to have
seed of the hard, red, Russian or Tur-

Sugar beets should not be permitted
to dry out after being dug, as there is

burn the wheat stubble as soon as the
wheat Is removed from the field.
