HOG MARKET

CATTLE MARKET STEADY
Sale Pens Were Closed for
This Week.
CATTLE MARKET STEADY

Hog receipts yesterday were light even
for Saturday. when light supply is the
rule The market was strong to higher
and on that account the sales do not
make a very good showing on paper.
The trade the latter part of last week
was a little bit slow but the commission
men hope for a better market this week.
There, however, seems to be a expecta-
ton that hog prices are going lower,
but it should not be forgotten that it is
usually the unexpected that happens.

Strange Disease in Dat Fields.

A hitherto unheard of condition
prevails in the oat fields in Black
hawk county, says the Waterloo Re
porter. About a week ago it was not
ed in here and there a field that
some Of the leaves were turning a
deep red color. It wasat first thought
that it was rust, but an examination
proved that such was not the case,
as there was nothing on the leaves
that could be rub bed off The disease,
|or whatever it may be, has since
spread rapidly; until now quite q
large proportion Of the oat fields Of
the county are affected with it, and
in those in whichit first made its ap-
pearance there are few green leaves
left. g. w. Young has forty acre
field onhis farm, south Of Jesup that
he believes has been completely ruin
ed. The whole field presents a deep
red appearance, and there is no
grain in the heads. Whether there
is parasite at work in the fields
or what is the cause of this unusual
conditions, no one is able to say.
Whatever it may be, it is seriously
menacing the oats crop Of that
county.

Great Swine Exhibit At State Fair.

One Of le most remarkable ex-
hibits of swine ever seen on this
continent will be given at the Iowa
State Fair, which will be held in
Des Moines August 81 to 20. It's
likely to break the record in this
State. Superintendent W. N. Nc
sFadden, who is in charge of the
swine department says indications
are he will have a larger showing Of
hogs than last year. At that time the
pens were all filledto their capacity,
with over LOO head Of hogs. A
larger number will, in all probability.
be exhibited this year. Much will be
added to the attractiveness Of the ex-
hibition by the erection Of the new
Judging pavilion for swine, which
lis practically completed.

Preferred Hogs to Land.

They tell good one on prominent
real estate man Of Waurika. Some
time ago he carried a prospector over
on Beaver creek to show him certain
claim. He told the man that 1t was
an exceptionally fine claim, that the
land did not overflow and that he
would sell 1t to him for $4,000. The
man looked around and discovered
some red mud way up in tree and
asked the real estate man what caused
that mud in the tree tops If the land
did not overflow. The agent promptly
replied that there was kind Of hog
raised over In the Chickasaw country
which used to range on the creek and
that they rubbed the mud on the trees.
The prospector took look over the
land, glanced up in the tree again and
told the Waurika man that he wouldn't
take the claim. but he would give him
$4,000 for couple of those hogs

Fiah Tint Cannot swim.

More than one species Of fish is met
with which cannot swim, the most sim
gular of which perhaps is the maltha,
a Brazilian fish. whose organs Of loco
motion only enable it to crawl or walk
or hop, after the manner of toad, to
which animal this fish to some extent
bears Il resemblance and 1t is provided
with long upturned snout. The an
terror pectoraD fms of the maftha,
which are quite small. are not capable
Of acting on the water, but can only
move backward and forward. Both
these aud the ventral and anal fms are
very different from the similar fms IN
other fishes and could not serve FOR
swimming at all.
Other examples Of nonswimming
fishes include the sea horse, another
most peculiarly shaped inhabitant Of
the sea, which resembles the knight In
q set Of chessmen, and the starfish.

Protect the Song Birds.

The Omaha (Nebraska) Evening
Bee tells Of an Omaha clergyman,
who administered the sacrament and
christened many babies Of that city
recently, the services being held on
the outskirts Of the city, and on his
way back he amused himself by
shooting song birds, bringing into
Omaha twenty-five meadow larks,
for which he was fined $llO. It
matters not to what denomination
that man belongs, he was unfit to be
a minister Of the living God. A man
who will just for the fun Of the
thing, kill the sweet feathered song
sters that make the air melodious
with their music, is not the kind Of
a man that the loving Father would
call to do His work. To think Of a
man that is brutal enough tokill the
harmless song birds, whom God
loves so well and cares for SO closely,
that not a feather falls without His
notice! How satan must laugh when
such men set themselves up as min
listers Of the gospel.
It is the song birds that help to
make a paradise Of the earth. Not
one Of them that twitters in the bush
es in the yard but that earns its liv-
ing from the people. Most Of the
song birds are insect eaters, and it
is q question whether we could live
on this earth, if insects were allowed
to multiply in the numerous forms
and myriads Of progeny that nature
provides. Man is engaged in con.
stant contest to keep down these in.
sects, and the song birds are his
greatestaids in the good work. Most O
our states, like Nebraska, have law
to protect these feathered friends
but tits not every time that they ar,
violated, that the offender is brough
to- justice as quick as he was ii

OF course British critics say that the
practice OF adulterating silk with tin
originated In Germany. At any rate, It
is common enough now.
All silk is mixed with more or less
foreign matter to give 1t weight and
stability Vegetable substances We're
formerly used for the purpose. In dye
ing silk the necessary boiling reduces
Its weight about one-fourth, taking out
the natural gummy substances. The
weight is sometimes restored with tan
mic acid. Tin is more common-mo Of
all In cheap black silks.
Very soft wash" silks are apt to be
pure. Burn a scrap, and nothing re-
mains but ash. A tin weighted scrap
when carefully burned leaves a resi-
dunn like excessively fine wire gauze.

feelingly: "The old man Of this

our dancing days are over, but there
is a sweet memory of the days gone
by fitting in our mind that prompts
US tp remark that the dance is a
de4d one if such is the case. Why,
we'd justsas lief dance around a

dance in a set where we couldn't get

ment about that sort of business

The late Cardinal Vaughan was
probably the handsomest and most
distinguished looking Of the Roman
ecclesiastical hierarchy. just as Car
dinal Manning looked the learned
ascetic, 80 Vaughan looked a true
Roman prince Of the church. But
he was most simple in his tastes and
habits. Several times Roman Cath
olic ladies presented him with costly
robes, and on one occasion they pre-
sented him with a carriage. But
they found that he soon sold their,
gifts and spent the money in charity.
They therefore at last "lent" him
robes and q carriage in order to
oblige him to retain them.

Robina.


American robins build plaster and
dry grass nests In the crotches Of trees,
while the little English bird Of the
same name, only about half as big as
Its cousin In America, makes a soft
moss nest on the ground. Its breast is
q yellow. red or scarlet, much brighter
than the American bird. and 1t sings
even more sweetly, but 1t is Of small
value as an insect destroyer. The
American robin, ION the other hand,
has much duller, quieter coat, a more
extended vocabulary, sounding many
distinct notes Of warning, fear. Joy.
etc, but not In SO sweet song. and Is
IN inveterate worm and insect hunter.
With only occasional lapses into vege-
tarianism. at strawberry and cherrgI
ripe time, the American robin is really.
one of the most industrious allies the
farmer can have.

The Potato Rot Fungus In Iowa.

In making an examination Of some
potato plants a few daysag / found
that large percentage of the leaves
were affected by the common
potato rot fungus, Phytopthora
infestans). This fungus to my know
ledge has not been found in this State
for quite number Of years The pres
ent attack Of potatoes and the severity
seem to indicate that we have had an
unusual season. The matter is of
such importance to potato growers
that they should be made familiar
with methods of exterminating the
fungus.
We would be extremely glad also
to receive from the farmers of Iowa
and others specimens ofthe diseased
leaves in order that we may get some
information on the fungus.
This fungus attacks the leaves,
shoots and tubers. The potato leaves
have at first a yellowish color, soon
changing to a brown. On the under
jsurface Of the leaf white, frosty
substance may be seen. This sub
stance contains the spores. The fun
gus continues to propagate during
the summer under favorable con
ditions. The vegetative threads o.
the fungus extend down the stem
and later cause rotting Of the tub.
ers.,
We would advise, therefore, that
potato vines be treated Immediately
/ with Bordeaux mixture in the follow
ing proportions:
Copper sulphate. Abs
Quick lime. ........... Abs
One barrel Of water so gallons
Dissolve the copper sulphate il
an earthen vessel in four or iv,
gallens Of water. The lime shoule

should be removed and the slacket
lime mixed with copper sulphat,
solution in a barrel containing twent,
gallons Of water. The lime should b.
thoroughly mixed with the water AM
add enough water to make 80 gallons
When it is done it should be spray
ed with a KNAPP sack or any othe
sprayer. Spray again in ten days 0
| two weeks. This spraying will b
found eficacious. We would advis
also that potatoes be dug and sol
as soonsas possible for inmediat
use, and that none of the diseased pe
tatoes be used for seed,

tention will save to potato: grower
