Feeding Poor Corn.

Humboldt. Feb. "a large per cent
of the farmers In Iowa are feeding
stock this winter for the market, as this
is the only practical way of using their

Much of the corn did not mature and
IS now being used Us fodder. This has
been the cause for reports coming from
many sections of stock dying in large
numbers from some supposed conta-
gious disease, one farmer losing thir-
teen yearling calves end only one re-
covering which had been afflicted.
Veterinary surgeons have looked into
the matter and have discovered tina;
the deaths were caused from the cattle
eating wet, mouldy fodder.

USE LAW TO GET DIVORCE.
Women Accuse Their Husbands 0
BEING lnebriates.

Des Moines, Feb. "a new use of
the inebriacy law has been found in
Des Moines. 1t is Suspected that the
large number of cases recently filed
wherein women accuse their husbands
of being inebriates have divorce pro-
ceedings in view. A number of such
cases have been started where 1t is now
known that divorces are desired. 1t is
found to be a very easy matter to get
a man sent to the state hospital as an
inebriate on the testimony of members
Of his family and interested persons.
Once sent there the way to a divorce is
easy. Where habitual drunkenness is
alleged as a ground for divorce there
is some difficulty in proving It, but a
judge who has sent a man to the hos
pital under a three years sentence for
being an inebriate would find 1t hard to
refuse divorce to the wife Of the in
ebriate.

Dubuque Priests Disputed Its Rights in
Their Case.
Special to Times Republican.
Des Moines, Feb. 9.-Attorney Gener-
al Mullan has rendered an official opin-
ion in peculiar case under the collat-
eral Inheritance tax.
Anton Hemmi of Dubuque, left in his
will a provision for paying three priests
together $1,000 for saying masses for
him after his death. An attempt was
made to collect the inheritance tax on
this thousand dollars, and 1t was re-
sisted on the ground that 1t was not in
the nature of an inheritance, but to pay
for definite services of the priests, and
also because of the services being of a
religious nature.
The attorney general holds that there
is no way by which the legacy may be
exempted from payment of the colla.-
eral inheritance tax.

Asparagus Culture

While at Coachella recently I visited an asparagus field, which was entirely freA from the destructive rust that has b en decinating the asparagus sections of the east for the last seven years. This may seem an unimportant statement, as Coachella has only few acres of this plant altogether, but it is fraught with great possibilities to Southern Califor- mia if this virulent rust continues to rav- age the asparagus industry elsewhere. Prof. Ralph E. Smith of the State Uni v.rsity has been visiting this portion of tie State for the last ten days, investi- gating the asparagus disease. He states that there is strong probability that asparagus grown in very dry climate will never become contaminated with the malady. Climatic conditions modify these attacks in every country; the rows of plants sometimes showing dis ease on the side subject to moisture and exemption upon the dry side. In no case do the plants seem affected where u atmosphere is always dry, and great profit in the latter case depends only upon the ability of the soil to produce the plant.
 Since the disease set it's seal upon the asparagus industry in the East, the can neries have ceased to put up this food, the demand for green asparagus com pletely monopolizing the product. Be- fore the advent of the malady the can neries bought all the "grass" they needed at $6O per ton. Last season the prevailing price was $l25 per ton, shut ting out canning entirely. The same state of affairs is beginning at Stcckton and Bouldin's Island, and unless spe- cifc for the disease is discovered, the asparagus business is doomed. You may see from this what bononza suc- cessful cultivation of asparagus would become at Coachella or Imperial. As yet nc remedy has been found. Some varieties are more resistant than others, but it is only question of degree, and there is in consequence but little hope for the industry anywhere unless eli matic conditions in few localities shut out the disease. At present the eyes of many growers who have been compelled to give up asparagus culture elsewhere are directed to the desert sections of Southern California, awaiting the proof that this plant is exempt from the trouble in these localities. No one can measure the importance of favorable outcome of the experiments ts now under way in the dry sections of this end of the State. It is worthy of most thor ough consideration and patient trial in all new and arid places, and I am sure it will have it.-J. w. Jeffrey in Los Angeles Times.
