Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1904-10-14

The annual report of poultry condi-
tiOns in the west. based upon returns
from Illinois. Nebraska, Iowa. Kansas,
Missouri and other states. has just
been issued by the Sprague Commits
sion company of Chicago The report
shows a material increase in the sup
ply of chickens. a fair increase in the
supply of turkeys and ducks. and a
falling off in the supply of geese.
The season was rather cool, but on
the whole quite seasonable, but in
some sections of the southwest, in the
far west and north. the heavy rain
fall caused a rather. heavy loss in the
early hatchings. especially of turkeys,
many of the young birds dying of wet
and cold. The fertility of the early
eggs also was somewhat affected by
the very cold weather during the win.
ter. leaving the stock not in as good
condition as when the winters were
not so severe. but this was overcome
later by more favorable conditions.
From Iowa a number of reports came
that rats had killed off a good num-
Der of the early hatchings.
The crops of turkeys is estimated
10 be about Is per cent heavier than
last year. Reports in most instances
claim large increases in the f1ocks OF
turkeys, but some points which raised
a good many turkeys last year re-
port a material shrinkage this year.
On the whole, however. commission
merchants look for more turkeys to
come to market during the winter.
The season is unusually late, and
where in other seasons a good many
turkeys have been shipped in up TO
this time. so far this year but few
have been received. Then. too. farm
ers are being blessed with good crops
and. being in no need for immediate
money. can afford to allow their tur-
KEYS TO run until later
The report generally indicates
very material increase in the crop of
chickens. and il is fair to state that
the crop at least is about 30 per cent
larger than than last year. The wealth

er conditions were generally favorable.
Farmers being in good condition finan-
cially. and receiving good prices for
their eggs, have perhaps not marketed
their stock as early. nor as freely as
usual. and indications are that there
is a large quantity to come.
Everything points to a large crop of
ducks-such at least are the conclu-
sions derived from the reports receiv-
ed. The indications are for an in
crease of about 10 per cent over last
year Late prices have been mOro
encouraging to farmers to raise ducks.
The crop of geese is estimated to be
about the same as last year, possibly
10 per cent less. OF late the raising
of geese has fallen off considerably in
Illinois, where the enactment of a law
prohibiting geese from running at
large has made a very marked diff
ference in the number raised.

The preliminary hearing of Arnold
Beuthien, cashier of the New Liberty
Savings bank, on the charge of en-
beZzlement, was again postponed yes
terday afternoon. In granting the post
ponement Squire Hall stated that it
would be the last one and that unless
Beuthien appeared in his court at the
appointed hour tomorrow, his bond for
s. 900 would be forfeited. Inasmuch
as the grand jury now in session has
taken up the Beuthien case for in
vestigation and is expected to return
one or more indictments against him.
it is improbable that his fight in oppo-
sition to the charges lodged against
him will be made in the district court
and not at the preliminary hearing
before Justice Hall. In case the grand
jury indicts him. Beuthien will be oblig-
ed to stand trial in the district court
no matter what might be the outcome
of his preliminary hearing. The posi-
tive assertion of Justice Hall that Beu-
THEN must either show up Saturday
or have his $4,000 bond forfeited, may
have some effect in fastening his ar
rival in this city. His arrival here
would result in his rearrest upon the
second warrant which charges him with
embezzlement of 100000.

cows are in the center and wide
promenade permits visitors TO pass
around and view the cows as they
stand in their stalls.
The milking and feeding are to be
done in plain view of the public. and
representatives Of the various herds
will at all times have access to all the
barns to see that no sharp practices
are INDUCED in.
The test not only consists in show
ing the amount Of butter. milk and
cheese produced. but the cost of pro-
duction is taken into consideration.
Every ounce of food given each COW is
weighed and carefully recorded. When
the cows are MIXED, the milk is con
yeyed to a model creamery in the Az
ricultural building. where it is tested
and made into butter ana cheese and
where all records are carefully kept.
The Jersey cattle participated in q
similar test ut Chicago during the Co
lumbar Exposition and carried OF
first honors.
Superintendent Graves is sanguinc
over the result of the present test. He
says that the Jerseys have always
demonstrated their superiority over all
other breeds when placed in compete
ton, and this time they will show to
better advantage than ever. Not only
is the Jersey milk richer In butter fat
than the milk of any other breed, says
Mr.. Graves, but 1t can be produced at
a less cost. The Jersey cows are the
smallest of the standard breeds. and
he asserts that they consume less feed.
They assiminte their food. and it is
converted into milk and butter and is
not used in building up and sustaining
Il large carcass.
I'VE are going to make all other
breeds take to the woods after this
! test" said Mr.. Graves. "A few days
ago | was testing some of our Jersey

and greasy from the enormous amount
Of butter fat the milk contained. Mr.

The herd OF Jersey cows assembled
at the Worlds Fair at ST. Louis to rep
resent the Jersey breed in the universal
dairy test has been inspected and has
been pronounced In perfect condition
and ready to start upon their six
months grind on n days notice.
W. II. Spann of the Burr Oak Jersey
farm, Dallas, Tex, was the inspector,
and lie was thorough in his work. He
passed a week on the Exposition
grounds, and much of the time was
spent in and around the Jersey cattle
barn, and the condition of each indi-
vidual Of the herd Of forty cows was
definitely asccrtained.
Never was more intelligent and care
full treatment luvished on animals No
athlete was ever better trained for a
contest requiring the development Of
speed, skill and endurance than has
been this herd Of Jerseys. When it is
known that this herd is to compete
with selected herds of Hostcns. Short
horns, Brown Swiss and Dcvons. ana
the herd making the best score for the
production Of butter, milk and cheese
Is to establish the standing of the
various breeds, the Importance of the
cows being In perfect condition may
be understood.
For solid year the Jerseys have
been in constant training. Twenty
five cows will participate in the con
test. Cows We're selected from the
best herds in the United States.
DR.. j. ]. Richardson, president of
the American Jersey Cattle Club, un-
der whose auspices this entry is made
toured Europe and visited the famed
Isle Of Jersey. where the breed origi
mated. He was seeking the best cows
but returned satisfied that Europe
could show no cows that were better
than those bred in America.
Though only twenty-five COWS will
participate In the test forty cows were
selected. They were assembled al
Jerseyville, ILL.,. a year ago. This Is
near st. Louis, and the cattle have be
come acclimnted. Last December they
were removed to ST. Louis. The cows
are the property Of individual members
Of the club and are loaned for the tern
Of the test. G. II. Graves, a breeder
