The weather the past two weeks
has been a splendid argument Tor
the stacking Of grain.
The navy has asked for an appro-
priation Of one hundred million dol
lars from the coming session of coz
gress.
The Catholic priests Of Omaha
have issued an order that members
of their denomination cannot hold
membership in the typographical
union.
The convicts in the Pennsylvania
state penitentiary have been caught
in the manufacture of counterfeit
money They will probably go to
work for Uncle Sam for a few years
but not in the mint.
Edward w. Carmack, the junior
senator from Tennessee, will intro
duce a bill in the next session of the
senate for the repeal of the fifteenth
amendment to the constitution. The
civil war gave the negro the right to
vote and il will not be taken from
him peaceably.
The weather has been against the
threshers, the agricultural fairs and
the hunters but ii has boosted up
grain prices and made some farmers
feel satisfied with their stacks. This
is the third wet fall Day county has
had and a pertinent question is ~how
many more we will meet before all
our farmers stack their grain"

A GOOD RUN FOR HOGS.
Bmmmer Practice of veteran Brced
ers In the Central west.

Hmmmer Practice of Veteran Breed
ers In the Central West,
Conditions in the central west are
such as TO furnish the environment
that will bring the hog to his highest
state OF perfection, provided common
sense Is used In the breeding and
agement generally, says Iowa Home
stead. W. can grow so much corn on
In acre that there Is a natural tendency
to feed the hog rather more corn than
Al consistent with his highest develop
ment. Corn il a fattening food and in
feeding hogs for market is an exceed
ingly satisfactory ration, but for the
breeding hog corn does not supply the
essential constituents for the forma-
ton OF muscle and bone. Various sug-
gestions are made as to how the breed
ing hog should be fed so that maxi
viii be obtained at d comparatively
small cost. There are those who claim
that we should grow more rye, oats and
barley TO feed in conjunction with our
corn, because these supply the flesh
forming and bone forming constituents.
Whether there is wisdom in this sug-
gestion or not we are at once brought
face TO face with the fact that less
than half the number Of pounds per
acre can be raised of any of these
crops than can be raised in o. crop Of
corn. How. then, shall we handle our
hogs so that their principal food con-
ststuent she'll be raised ut a small cost?
Among CIR older breeders we find a
few who are exceedingly favorable to
the practice Of allowing their breeding
hogs to have a large run during the
summer months 1t is claimed by these
that by so doing they can build up a
strong frame at a small cost considered
from the standpoint OF grain supply.
III hogs are given access TO a clover
pasture they may be supplied with
corn in sufficient quantities to keep
them in good, thrifty condition. while
aft the same time corn fed In this way
on of too must fat nor does 1t unduly
heat the blood OF the animal.
BY the use OF woven wire fences an
opportunity Is afforded for giving the
hogs a run of not only the pastures.
but also the meadows. For the best
results in the pasturing OF hogs it is
generally advisable to put in some spe-
ciai crops, like rape. soy beans or cow
peas. as these supply green food at a
time when u clovers and grasses
have become dried out. While we
strongly advocate the practice Of Civ
Ing hogs as free a range as possible.
yet at the same time we call attention
to the fact that it may be necessary
to feed grain In addition to the green
food supply, as grass alone may not
keep them fieshy enough.

About the year 1900 one James Eitz-
stephens Lynch was mayor of the town
Of Galway. In Ireland. He had sent his
son on a trading expedition TO Spain
with a good cargo and a large sum of
money. The young man returned with
a ship load of valuable commodities.
which ne reported as having been pur-
chased with the money and with the
proceeds of the outgoing cargo. After
some time IL Spaniard came along. de-
handing payment from the mayor for
the goods he alleged had been bought
OH credit by his son. The mayor de-
clined payment. as his son averred he
ha \ paid In cash for the goods. Unfor-
~tuHately for the latter. Il sailor who
had been one of the crew on examina-
ton by Mayor Lynch declared that BIS
unworthy 0 had spent in reckless
debauchery not only the money intrust-
ed to him. but the proceeds of the
cargo as we'll; that he had then bought
goods from a large firm on credit. and
that when one of the partners of the
firm came down to the ship before sail

murdered the nan and had him thrown

Some time ago our station published
a bulletin and gave many Illustrations
Of model and otherwise dairy barns In
our state, and in the number shown
did not see one that had windows
enough In 1t. The same thing occurs
in the Dairyman's Illustrations of COW
barns. Why is 1t? The fellows who
have covered pals with cotton. etc.
are among the number who seem to
think daylight and sunshine are detri-
ments TO a cows comfort while con
fined In the stable. My rule for win
dows In q cow barn is to make out
your bill for twice as many windows
as you think you need, and then when
your team has gone to town after them
telephone your lumber dealer to double
the bill at his end.
Now. there are windows and win
dows. The Dairyman showed what
was called a model dairy barn, and the
windows looked more like knot holes
or woodpecker holes than windows.
Get good, big double sash, 10 by u
lights, six lights to a sash. and have
them not more than eight feet apart
along walls north, south. west and
east. Then put in skylIghts. 1t will
pay big. Now you have windows.
Make all doors doubie-that Is, to open
bottom and top Ia never shut top
door unless low temperature or storms
make it necessary.
When you have light buy a barred of
lime and have a whitewashing machine

from one to twenty. says III. Il. Cook in
Stockman and Farmer.
The first cow was giving from fifty
to ffty-two pounds a day on twice a
day milking and ten pounds OF grain.
After milking a few days three times
q day and a daily increase of twelve 10
fifteen pounds a day her grain ration
was gradually raised to fourteen
pounds. and she responded by giving
for her best single day seventy-seyen
pounds and best seven successive days
521A pounds and for seventy-cight
days $3.50 pounds. which was WORTH at
market price and for which we re-
ceived $500, or 81 per day; from April
! TO June /. 3,64S pounds. which had q
value of $40.GT, a total Of S11S.S7 from
Jan. IL to June /. This COW is a half
blood Holstein, weighs about LOO
pounds and Is ten years cd.
Gradually the number of cows was
increased until twenty were being
MIXED three times a day. fed three
times and watered three times. They
ate from nine to twelve pounds of
grain, silage and hay, what they would
eat clean in varying amounts. Differ
ent kinds of grain were fed. always
aiming TO keep the animals in good
milking comdition-that Is. the rations
Were not made too narrow. Willie the
cows did not gain in flesh, neither did
they lose. The nutritive ratio did not
vary materially from 1:65. except dur
ing the last days of April. when the
silage gave out and they ate carly cut
clover hay. The ration was then mar
rover. but lacked the succulence. The
milk yield was not materially changed,
but the ration was more expensive.
Another COW that had been giving
milk since early IN the fall and was
then (Jan. 10J giving twenty-five
pounds a day on seven pounds Of grain
was given an additiona! three pounds
and MIXED three times a day. She re
sponded at once and made an average
of t~hirty-eight pounds for the subse-
quent six weeks. She then dropped
Off and has from that time made an
average of thirty-three pounds a day.
Still another cow. a very ordinary
mixer that had been brought into the
dairy, was taken up and MIXED three
times without any change Of care or
feed. She would not increase to ex
ceed three pounds a day. Then the
extra feed and extra care were put N.
This also made but little change. She
would not give over thirty-two pounds
a day no natter what vas done for
her. Now, that is my living definition
Of a scrub COW. She had no place in
her milking economy for any more
food or milk. She did show some gain
in flesh.

A correspondent OF Rural New York.
err asks: Has anything in the silo line
been found more desirable in any way
than a plain stave silo with round iron
hoopsF
To which a staff writer replies: 'sThe
concrete silo is more durable or a plank
silo lined with brick and the plank silo
bound from top TO bottom with boards
as hopping and plastered inside with
cement may also have some exceeding
value. but OF all the differently CON
structed all wood silos none possesses
the merit of the stave silo. I am using
one OF this kind, and experience has
demonstrated that ii Is most complete.
Those who have inspected rarely fail to
say, THAT is the best silo | have een
1t is made of pine sawed 2% by @, bev-
eled, grooved and tongiIed and put to-
getlrer with white lead, then hooped
with one-half inch steel wire rope put
on three feet apart. The foundation Is
q stone wall three feet high. perpendic-
ular inside, with the slaves and a ce-
ment bottom. rooted with a neatly I'm.
ished conical roof. The doors are CON
~tinuous. alternating with two slaves
between them; In other words, q door
between each hoop. These doors are
beveled like a cold storage door and
hung upon the outside, more conven-
lent, more durable and by all means the
place for them"
A stave silo Query.
A Wisconsin farmer asks Hoard's
Dairyman this question: "In building a
stave silo do you advise setting the
slaves back on the foundation? If so
how much. or flush with the inside?
Would II be possible to plaster on the
bare clay, as many cisterns are made,
so as ito prevent water from soaking In
from the sides and bottom?"
The Dairyman makes the following
answer: THE present writer in build
ing a silo on his farm set the slaves
back from the inner face OF the founda-
ton wall about Ave inches, and this
for the purpose of enabling him to line
1t with q course OF brick liz future de-
velopmants should seem to make such
a lining desirable. This space or rim
was filed In with clay slanting up to
the slaves, much as putty is used to
fasten glass In a window. This clay
Berved the double purpose Of making a
tight joint between the sta-es and the
foundation and giving an easy slide to
the silage over the projection. We have
had a great many reports from parties
who have practiced plastering the walls
Of sIIos | n clay grounds with great sue
cess. The soil on our w farm is not
suitable for adopting this plan. so in
building cisterns we simply line up
with q single layer Of brick and pat
the cement on the brick"

NEW INDUSTRY FOR IOWA FALLS
Big Quarry and Rock Crushing Plant
Will Be Opened There.

Iowa Falls. Nov 13.-The inexhaust-
ibla deposits of stone and rock In the
city of Iowa Falls and vicinity are to
be utilized on an extensive scale, and
work has been commenced on big
Giant that will be one of the leading
industries of the city.
E. S. Ellsworth has purchased the
tract of land known as the wooden mill
site. and in conjunction with w. L..
Busby. who came here some time ago
from Mount Vernon. Iowa will erect a
big stone crusher. the intention of the
managers being to employ twenty-five
men at the opening of the plant and
soon increase the force to one hundred.
A dam is being built across the river
at the point where the old Kelley dam
formerly stood and water power will
be utilized in the operation of the
crusher.
The Chicago & Northwestern will
run a spur to the new plant, thus ar
fording it ample facilities for market
ing the product of the enterprise,
which will be crushed stone and build
ing rock. Work on the plant is being
pushed rapidly and the managers hope
to place the first output on the market
early in the spring If not this winter.
