peWberrles.


The deWberry is rapidly gaining in
popular favor among fruit growers. 1t
was first introduced about twenty years
ago, and only in recent years has be-
ccme widely distributed and is now
eagerly sought after. 1t is now consid-
cred most valuable crop. being much
earlier and less injured by drouths than
the true blackberry. There are about
q dozen varieties. but the Lucretia is
the best
Inc deWberry is more easily planted
and cultivated than the strawberry and
almost, il not quite as profitable.
1t Will do in almost any soil, and if
freely fertilized and carefully cultivated
responds handsomely.
Planting may be done any time be-
fore spring growth begins. We lay off
our land with 4 small plow into rows five
feet apart in the furroW and cover with
the ploW or hoe
The deWberries we cropped last year
were planted in second year straWber-
ries, and were planted in every other
row With hoe
After the picking season the straw
berry plants We're hoed out of the dew
berry row, and the row between and
the middies cut up with dish harrow.
The plants grew nicely and yielded a fine
Crcp last year.
DeEEberries should be Well cultivated
throughout the summer. Crab grass or
anything that will shade and choke the
plant is an enemy Towards fall the
ends Of the vines will swell and enter
the ground, if not too hard, and form
new plant, A little dirt throfn upon
the ends will help in roofing the new
plant
At Glendale we have six acres in
deWberries and thousands Of plants We
viii increase our acreage to ten acres
and possible more this year
Trimming out the vines and tieing
and costly part of deWberry growing,
But armed with mits made of thick
cloth and a sharp knife the trimming
is no more tedious than mulching straw
berries.
Last year we set stakes between
every other plant and tied the vines of
two plants to a stake. We preferred
stakes being cheaper than Wire and al
50 permitting crossing the rows when
harvesting the crop. Wire offers these
advantages the vines would be punched
less, more Of the vines could be used
and rickers could get at the berries
more easily. We may try both methods
this Year as We wish TO adopt ;hc best.
We Will have something to say 4 about
harvesting and shipping the dcwberrr
in our next

A Great BPOiIeP Plant.


Of all animal life, and is a quot able fac
tor in chicken growing.
The chicks are fed q mash Of mixed
meals in the morning, cracked corn and
wheat with a feed OF cut fresh bone
every other day, the mash is made Of
corn meal. ground oats aud wheat bran
and timely cut clover wet UP with hot
water and let steam till fresh. We
would think an addition Of a good meat
meal, such a B. B. & B. or Bowker's S
Animal Meal would improve the ra-
tIon and make a better broiler chick,
since first class broilers need to be grown
quickly. Skimmilk, if available is Of
great value in making quick growth in
chicks. and not only makes quick growth
hut give a fine (kid-g glove like) texture
to the skin that quickens its stability:
makes it sell quicker
There mas recently been change in
the methods Of the Mary l.. Poultry
Plant that is worth noting AS orgi-
nally planned the chicks were grown to
full size broilers, Of about two pounds
weight, and shipped alive to a commits
sion house in Cleveland. Some time ago
a New York commission house. finding
they could not get q sufficient supply of
SQUAD broilers' through the regular
channels induced Mr.. Laughln to send
his product to them, and they pay him
as much for the one pound broilers as
he formerly got for those of double the
size. Of course it takes only about half
the time to grow SQUAD broilers and the
change in method practically effects a
doubling Of the capacity of the plant
If Mr.. Laughlin cared to push the plant
TO its fullest capacity. BY adding more
incubators and keeping the pens full,
he could handle double the number of
chicks by turning them off at squad
broiler size.
Getting good hatchable eggs was the
great difficulty at time of our visit, but
we have already exceeded the limits OF
our space and must keep the egg-side Of

NEW INVENTION.
Iowa Men Produce n Headlight for
Engines That Will Light The
Track Around Curves.

A headlight for locomotives that will
light the track around a curve instead
of shooting the flash out into the corn
field is the invention of Herman Reich
and o. M. Coate, of Des Moines, who
have been notified a patent will be al
lowed.
The device is an automatic movable
headlight that can be used on any Of
the present style of locomotives. The
idea is that the light will follow the
track around curves, showing the rails
the customary 400 feet ahead.
A portion of the mechanism is two
plates operating on ball and roller
bearings, on which the headlight
proper is placed. The mechanical at
tachment is such that a rod extends
down through the smoke end of the
boiler to a point where other connec-
tions are made with the truck beam.
The device has been successfully tried
and railroad men say it will be a great
improvement over fixed headlights.

Capt. j. F. Merry, of Dubuque, gives
Mrs. U. S. Grant, Col. David B. Hender-
con and Senator. William B. Allison the
credit for doing the work which result
ed in the creation of the Vicksburg Ma
tional park for the Iowa monuments
on which the state has appropriated
$150,000 to be expended by a commits
sion of which Capt. Merry has been
elected president and II. H. Rood, of
Mount Vernon, secretary. Capt. Mer-
ry conceived the national park idea
for Nicksburg, went to Washington,
met with encouragement, was advised
by Allison to visit Mrs. Grant, did so,
found her enthusiastically for the
proposition when he had outlined it
to her. enlisted Col. Henderson, and
within two weeks had every member
of congress ready to vote for the bill.
However, Speaker Reedrefused to per-
nit it to come up. He positively re-
fused. Finally Col. Henderson went
to him and made an effective plea. with
the result that the bill was allowed,
at last, to come onto the floor, where
it received every vote. In Is days it
was signed by the president. Mrs.
Grants influence, and the fact that she
wanted it, had a good effect with the
congressman who We're lukewarm.

OPPOSES THE SALE.
President of the Danish University
in Des Moines Gives His Views
Concerning Sale of the Islands.
Especial Correspondence

.\0PSSAoA >"+A
DR.. R. R. Vestergard, president Of
Grand View Danish university, in Des
Moines, who came from Denmark to
take charge of the leading educational
institution of the Danes in this coun-
try, after eight years in the state
church in Denmark, is strongly OPP
posed to the sale of the Danish West
India islands to the United States. He
said that if the people of Denmark
could settle it they would vote almost
as a unity against the sale. His i'm
preston is that the islands are not so
valuable to hold on account of their
resources but on account of the evil
conclusion that may be drawn by the
world from the sale of the islands.
When a man begins to sell his property
his neighbors suspect he is cramped
financially. and his creditors examine
into his affairs; this condition, he
fears, will result as to Denmark if she
gives up the islands to this country.
He expects the people of the islands
to indorse the sale, however, and ex-
poets to see it accomplished this fall.
He declares that the property-holding
classes of the islands are opposed to
the sale, but the ordinary people see
money in it, and will overwhelm the
taxpayers by their votes. He under
stands that a general plebiscite will
be held.

Fish Commissioner and Game War
den George A. Lincoln, of Cedar Rap

get a loan of enough money to con-
duct his department during the ensu-
ing two years, the legislature having
neglected to appropriate the SIS. 600
agreed upon as necessary. 1t was sug-
gested hat he secure loans from per-
sons interested in fish and game pro-
lection, the lenders to depend on the
next legislature to reimburse them. as
was the case when the banks of the
state advanced enough money to bring
back the Fifty-frst Iowa soldiers from
San Francisco. Mr.. Lincoln has not de-
termined whether to try this or not.
He has had plans made for a fshway
through the dam at Bonaparte. 1t will
cost $500. Meek Bros, owners of the
dam, declare they will fight it.

SHILOH MONUMENTS.
dress nj Their Dedication on
May 80, 1908.
Especial Correspondence.)

Although a year remains before the
dedication of the Iowa monuments to
the soldiers from this state who
fought and died at Shiloh, the com
mittee which has the programme in
charge has secured the consent of Gov.
Albert b. Cummins to make the adj
dress on that occasion. The date has
been fixed for May 30, 1908. George
W. Crosley is chairman of the commits
sion which has the matter in charge.
The monuments are now in course of
construction, the designs having re-
Gently been decided upon by the com
mittee. There has been talk of trying
to take every soldier who fought at
Shiloh and survived, and who was in
an Iowa organization, to the dedica-
tion of the monuments. However, the
commission has but about SO, 900 of the
appropriation made by the legislature
of 1890 left, and probably this plan
will not materialize.

INTERESTED.
Want the Address of Gen. Dodge nj
the Encnmpment in Des Moines
Published in Book Form.
Especial Correspondence.)

Gen. Grenville NJ. Dodge read an ex-
tended address before the grand army
encampment here the past week, which
it is proposed to have brought out in
book form. 1t related to the personal
recollections of Gen. Sherman enter
tanned by Gen. Dodge. The two men
knew each other intimately, fought
together through the civil war, and
Sherman was always in deep sympathy
with the transcontinental railroad
projects which Dodge had matured
and out of which grew the Union Pa
ciic, which he built in 1S67-69. The ad.
dress was made up of unwritten bits
of history which are tremendously val.
liable, in the opinion of the veterans,
and it is probable that some of the
state historical organizations will un.
dertake to publish it. Col. H. H. Rood,
of Mount Vernon, is preparing a his
tory of the Iowa Croker brigade,
which he will bring out in a short
time. He is at the head of that organi.
cation.
