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 publ.
cations in the country, that enable us to
offer the four in connection with oul
own paper for S1.8O for the entire five
one year. This is emphaticslly good
thing, and no farmer in this county
should fail to take advantage of thit
offer. For q large line of thoroughly
practical farm reading nothing has evel
been offered before that equals 1t. A

Feather World Flashes.

Never feed hens on filthy ground.
Never feed chickens soft feed for q
whole meal.
Ducks may take mash and soft feeds
for whole ration.
Never dump grain or other feed in
piles before hens.
No grit, no digestion. No digestion,
no growth or health. No health, loss
and death.
Can you get supply of cracked oys-
ter shells? They are the best thing you
can furnish the fowls.
The fowls can find no worms, grubs,
or insects now. You must give them
something to take the place of the natu-
raj foods. Scraps of meat and crushed
bone are in order.
1t is claimed that cabbage fed to
poultry will taint the eggs. have
never found this true, and my hens al
ways have "enough cabbage to suit a
Dutchmsn's taste."
Everything else will be In vain If you
do not furnish In winter thoroughly
good supply of dust for the hens. Give
them the dust and they will make the
best possible use of 1t on the lice and
other parasites.
Beware of too much meat and green
bone at once. Hens need some Of these
! things, but only q little at time. The
moment they get too much of it they
begin to suffer from torpid liver and
that inclines them to all sorts of dis
eases.
Meat and bone. as feed, are highly
concentrated foods and therefore they
differ from the bugs and worms and
insects which the fowls pick up on th.
range. On the range the fowls balance
the concentrates with enough roughagt
to result in Q wholesome, nourishinl
mixture.
Skim milk and whole milk are goot
tor poultry, but 1t cannot take the place
Of meat. The solid matter in Who'll.
milk ranges from IL to Is per cent
Therefore 1t will take seven or eigh
pounds, or three to four quarts, of mill
to supply q pound of solid food to hem
1t is unnatural and impossible for fowl
to drink such quantity of milk.
Never use wooden or iron vessels a
waternolders for fowls. Especial,
should no young chicks, goslings, duck
or turkeys be permitted to drink from
rusty metal or foul wooden vessels. Th'
rust OF metal induces disrrhes in tn
young fowls. Glazed earthen vessels

What Are You2

Some folks are always prating
About their noble blood;
And trace their genealogy
To back before the flood.
Tis very plain
That most who claim
Such lineage to be true
Bank on the dead for their support;
The world says: Who are you?
Some claim the ancient Puritans
(The first at Plymouth Rocky
Were their great, great. great something.
Please don't disgrace
Your ancient race,
But make yourself great, too;
The world has judged them long ago,
But now asks: What are you?
That overpeopled MAY Flower"
"A bank for pedigrees-
Like Sci0ns OF George washington,
As numerous as the trees),
In language plain,
It's for their gain
To drop such talk, II true;
The world may look at pedlgrees,
Yet still asks: What are you?
Recession and progression,
Traits true as truth can be;
II your ancestry were on the top,
You've come down from the tree.
Though take your ohoice-
Much talk may make you rue;
Inc world Will make comparison,
Again ask: What are you?
Let your acts do the talking;
"Blue blood" will show, don't fear;
Generations Of refining
Are reflected very clear.
When family paint
By time Is faint,
Restore its color true;
Then you won't mind the question, should
Tho world ask: What are you?

QUEER PHENOMENON ON LAKE
Water of Lake Michigan Rushe to
the shore, Causing Much
Damage.

CHICAGO. Juy IA phenomenon,
known to Geneva and other Swiss lakes as
a "seiche," has made its appearance on
Lake Michigan.
In a queer convulsion the lake sent a
big wave landmarks and residents along the
shore suddenly found the water tapping at
their doorsteps.
All along the lax front the waves swept
up against breakwaters or over the beach.
Steamers were tossed about at their docks,
smaller craft we're thrown on the shore,
boats were broken and In several Instances
loss of life was narrowly averted.
Two boys bathing north OF Lincoln park
were saved after they had been carried out
by the receding wave. A fisherman was
rescued by the Evanston life saving crew
and another bather, an Evanston boy, was
pulled out of the water as he was in danger
Of drowning.
At the weather bureau the barometer in
dictated a sudden high pressure. followed by
an equally sudden drop. A wave of heavy
atmospheric pressure passed over the city.
and as It struck the lake. moving from west
to east. the water was pushed back. With
the pressure released the wave came rush
ing back and dashed up over the land. then
receded to the normal water line.

QUICK WORK OF A MAD MOB
Kentucky Man Taken from Jail and Hanged
to Scale Beam.
GUILTY OF wANToN MURDER OF WIFE
Mob Accomplishes It's Purpose So
Quickly and Quietly that Jailer
in CharEe of Prisoner CAM
not Give the Alarm.

oWENSBOR0, KY, July 17.-John An
derson, a farmer, who was In jail hero
charged with the murder of his wife on the
night of July 8, was taken from prison by
a masked mob Of about forty men and
hanged to a beam over the city scales on
one of the principal streets Of Greensboro
at about $3.50 o'clock this morning.
The lynchers, who are supposed to have
come from the scene OF Anderson's alleged
crime about three miles west Of Ovens
boro, made their entrance into the city
quietly and, going to the Jail, demanded
admittance, which was refused.
They then battered down the prison door
and while some went to the prisoners cell
to lead him out, others of the mob sur
rounded the TALLER and his family to pre-
vent them from giving the alarm.
Anderson vas soon secured and In a few
moments was led across the street from the
prison, where a rope was placed about his
neck and he was hanged to a beam over a
pair of scales. The mob then dispersed
quietly. No arrests have been made.
Anderson was the first white man ever
lynched in Davies county. At the time the
murder with which he was charged was
committed Anderson and his wife had been
separated for about seven weeks, and Mrs.
Anderson was living with her father,
whittier Anderson went for the alleged pur-
pose OF affecting a reconciliation.
The woman's father. It is said, entered
some objections and the irate husband then
dragged his wife into the yard and shot her
to death. He was arrested shortly after
the crime and was in the owensporo jail
when he was lynched.

CHICAGO, July 17.--one thousand old
soldiers met at the Memorial hall last night
at a reception for General Lloyd wheaton,
who was retired from active service on
Tuesday.
Mingling with members Of the Grand

for the occasion, were numbers Of younger
men who saw service, either in Cuba or In
the Philippines. General Wheaton was in
troduced by General job c. Black and, re-
plying, saidi
Operations in other lands have brought
to me the conviction that the grandeur
and power of the great. republic is re-
pected and recognised wherever cjviliza-
ton exists and that this respect is not
based alone upon a regard for our ma
terial prosperity, commercial greatness or
our liberal institutions, but in a measure
upon the prowess Of our soldiers and
sailors.
Having served more than forty-one years
with the men who carry rifles, I can as
sure my companions of the civil war that
the American soldier of today is the
worthy descendant of the men who fought
at Shiloh, Vicksburg and Gettysburg. Un-
der the new conditions of war he can
not be surprised and will meet every
expectation Of his countrymen.

Wheaton, telling q number Of stories Of his
