The large ana increasing clrcuIation

The large and increasing circulation
of The Iowa Homestead In this county
Is matter for congratulation to the
publishers and to good farming, for, of
all the papers of Its class in the coun-
try. 1t is easily the best and most help
full. Its Special Farmers Institute
editions, issued with the regular edition
the first week in each month, have been
for years the admiration of all practi-
cal farmers. Written wholly by farm
ers, they are full of actual experience,
and smell of the soil. We have been
fortunate enough this season to secure
terms for The Homestead and its Spec
ial Farmers Institute Editions, together
with The Poultry Farmer and The
Farmers Mutual Insurance Journal,
four of the most valuable farm publi-
cations In the country, that enable us to
offer the four In connection with our
own paper for $1.9O for the entire five,
one year. This is emphatically q good
thing, and no farmer in this county
should fail to take advantage of this
offer. For large line of thoroughly
practical farm reading nothing has ever
been offered before that equals it. A.
county paper, 9 farm paper, q poultry
paper, farm insurance paper and the
Special Farmers Isntitute, all for S1.9O
Come In and order them.

The relations of Hanna to the McKin-
ley administration was at ali times an
incipient scandal, but the public was
tolerant in view of the genuine personal
friendship existing between the late
president and the chairman of the re-
publican committee. But there will be
harsher judgment If there is also too
much Hanna in the present sdministra-
tion. President Roosevelt will consult
neither his own welfare nor his reputa-
tion if he goes much further in fulfilling
Hanna bargains and taking care of
Hanna pets.-Des Moines Leader.

Alfalfa In Iowa.

Jonas Fanburg, of Hayes township,
called at this office yesterday and dur
ing our conversation with him expressed
himself as highly pleased with an ex-
pertinent he was making in alfalfa
growing.
Two years ago Mr.. Fsnburg invested
S5 in bushel OF seed and scattered 1t
over about three acres of ground that
had been corn cropped the season be-
fore. The alfalfa made its appearance
on schedule time, but was so thorough
| ly mixed with weeds tina. Mr.. Fanburg
about made up his mind that he had
speculated in something that Ida coun--
ty soil, with all it's wonderful fertility,
would not produce. However, his in
tentions were to give it fair test, SO he
put the mower onto the ground and har-
vested the first crop about the lst of
May and raked it clean.
The second crop was surprise. 1t
came up clean and entirely free of
weeds and in less than six weeks another
crop had been harvested and before the
season closed still another crop had
been taken.
The second year three bountiful crops
were produced, the last being as large
as the the first, and Mr.. Fanburg thinks
that had the cattle not been turned in
it would have yielded fourth crop.
AS to the nutritious or fattening
properties of alfalfa he ia emphatic in
his assertion that it is far ahead of timo-
thy, clover or any other variety of grass
es and says that cattle will pass a nice
clean bunch of timothy or clover to get
at the alfalfa, and best of all they fatten
and do well on an alfalfa diet, without
feeding grain, especially is this 80 with
calves.
Mr.. Fanburg informed us that The
mistake usually made by farmers in
sowing alfalfa WAS that they picked out
some low piece of land and after at
tempting to get yield gave it up in
disgust. High or table land, in his opin.
ion, should be utilized, and it should be
plowed and put in proper condition be.
fore the seed is sown. His Sacre patch
of alfalfa this year is already about ten
inches high and he expects to put the
mower into it inside of the next two
weeks. Alfalfa cannot be winter-killed,
nor is there room for the growth of any
thing else after it has once gotten q
start.
Mr.. Fanburg is one of our most sue
cessfnl farmers and his opinion In this
matter iscertainly worthy OF confidence,
for he firmly believes that alfalfa will
in the near future be among the staple
and most profitable crops harvested in
Ida county on account of our immense
stock feeding industry.-Ida Pioneer.

TO THE EPISODE.
BURGLAR is CAPTURED

Matt Daugherty, the oil man, brought
to this city yesterday an account Of an
exciting safe-efacking trick which he
CHANGED to witness early yesterday morn
ing at Evanston. The good citizen saw
enough of the excitement to satisfy him
and he then boarded the 4 a. m. train
to this city in accordance with his pre-
arranged plans.
Mr.. Daugnerty had Just emerged from
the Pacific hotel, where he had put up
until train time, and had stopped in front
Of Hale & Chisholm's saloon TO adjust his
hand baggage, when he saw a man boring
into the safe back of the bar. Just as
Daugherty was figuring now to give the
alarm without soaring off the safe
cracker, Jack Burke, bartender at Hale
ChiSholm's cher saloon, rushed down
the street TO the front of the burglar
operations, the bartender having been in
formed of what was going on.
Burke drew his gun and fired at the
safe cracker through the window, and
almost simultaneously the explosive
stuff placed in the safe door went off.
Several shots were exchanged and in the
excitement and darkness the burglar es-
capped by jumping through the window.
The whole town was aroused bv the
fusillade. and within short time Sheriff
James located the safe cracker and
placed him under 9arrest. He was identi-
fled as Bril- Kirk, who was released from
the county jail early in the evening on
completion of a. sentence for burglary
committed at Diamondville last summer.
Nothing was missed from the bur
CARRIED saloon but a small pistol and
this was found in Kinks possession.

way, held at the general Offices in this

as to president, but the following were
chosen:

rington. ST. Paul; third vice president,
z. 7. Nichols, New York; fourth vice
president, J. ". Blabon, St. Paul.

he had exercised in the past.
z. T. Nichols is now secretary of
the Great Northern in New York as
well as treasurer. 1t is the first time
the Great Northern has ever had a
vice president in New York.
J. ". Blabon will have charge of
traffic matters and will assume the
