The curing of cow pea hay so as to
properly preserve it is difficult un-
less the conditions are favorable.
The crops should be cut when the
seed pods are about from four to six
inches long. If allowed to become
too dry the leaves will crumble, and
if too the hay will be mouldy in the
new. They are said to keep best
when stored with timothy hay, as
the hay absorbs any dampness ex-
listing in the pea vines. Leaving
aside the curing of peas for hay,
they will be found very serviceable
when fed green to cattle, and as rem
ovatOrs of the soil and adding to the
store of nitrogen, they are unsur-
passed even by clover.

1t is the usual losses that count
without being considered. Farmers
as a rule expect to lose more or less
young pigs, they do not worry oyer
the occasional loss of young calf,
and they look with indifference on
the loss of lamb or two, while half
a hundred dead chickens will have
no effect on them. Every young
thing should be counted as of value.
The loss of a pig, calf or lamb is a
real loss and as much care should be
taken to prevent these losses as any
other. Let the careless farmer
charge himself with the profit he
might have made on every young
thing that dies and he will soon con-
vince himself that he cannot afford
to allow anything to die from the
lack Of attention.

Prof. A. NJ. Saule, of the Ten
nessee Experiment Station gives
the following most sensible advice
that ever came from an experiment
station. The professor is evidently
not in employ of the manufacturers
of fertilize:
"One of the most profitable re-
suits in the fesding of live stock, as
is not generally recognized the
world over, is the possibility of re-
tanning on the farm the fertilizer
constituents of the crops grown on
the land and so maintaining fertility
for an indefinite period. There is
thus every reason why the farmer
should pay more attention to the
value of farm manure. The eXcre-
ments of ANIMALS In feeding expert
ments constitute part of the pro-
fits as surely as the sale price. The
manure from these animals is worth
more than any commercial fertilizer
that can be bought, because when
incorporated with a plentiful supply
of litter it adds vegetable matter to
the soil and improves the mechani-
cal condition as no commercial fer
tillzer can do. This is not an argu-
ment against the use of commercial
fertilizer; but in the name of rea-
son, good economy and good sense,
before commercial fertilizer is pur-
chased let the excrements from
farm live stock be preserved and
utilized to their utmost limit"

product, it is also lesson in tobacco
culture and manufacture. Recently
representatives of France, Ireland
and Ceylor made exhaustive studies
of the display. France and Ireland
have long been buyers of certain
kinds of Kentucky tobacco, but it is
confidently believed that the fact of
their having through this exhibit
been made acquainted with other
useful types, of which they were
previously ignorant, will result in
more of their supply being purchas-
ed from Kentucky and less from
competing States.

Fort Dodge, May 26.-Information
was sworn out yesterday by the Great
Western railway company, charging
Frank r. Ingersoll, former agent of
he company here with embezzlement
of 500 of the company's funds. In
gersoll was arrested and today waived
examination and was bound over to
the grand jury under $1,000 bonds.
The amount of the bond was furnished
and Ingerson given his liberty.
Ingersolls arrest, while expected for
some time is received by the public
with surprise. Until recently he had
been agent for the Great Western in
this city and in his position was re-
garded as business man of good
standing. a few weeks ago it was an
nounced that new agent had been
appointed in his place, and at the same
time it was rumored that Ingersoll
was short in his accounts and that 1t
was this shortage which resulted in his
dismissal. The exact amount is in the
neighborhood of $500. The manner in
which the money was taken and the
use to which it was put has not been
made public.
AS agent, Ingersoll held bond as
security for the company. For week
past representative OF the bonding
company has been in the city, pre-
sumably in an effort to straighten up
affairs and avoid an arrest. Apparent
ly the effort failed and Ingersoll was
arrested.
Tngersoll has been in the employ VI
the Great Western for the past two
years. or since the Great Western
assumed control of the Mason City
and Fort Dodge. Previous to that

theater at the fair grounds. The first
day of the seat sale saw over 500 seats
marked down. Many of these however
were taken away in large blocks for the

schools. Three special trains will run
into Des Moinas for the meet. One
City and Grinneil; the second via the
Great Western from Cedar Falls. Wat
erloo and Marshalltown, and the third
on the Northwestern from Mt Vernon
and Cedar Rapids. This third train is
a new one and will bring hundreds to
the meet. The Cornell contingent from
Mt. Vernon will join Coe at Cedar
Rapids AT Anles the train will prob
ably pick UP q. large number though
many of the Arnes crowd viii come to
Des MoineS on earlier trains. The ex-
cursion from Normal is invariably the
biggest that comes to the meet. With
a winning team in the field the crowd
will be much larger.
The program schedules TIL. start at
1870 Saturday afternoon. There will
be two preliminary heats in the hun
bred yard dash. Eight schools in the
competition with two starters in each
event viii make the number too great
to handle in the short dash so the pre-
liminaries will have to be run.
Last year there was considerable dis
cussion as to the method OF running
the relay. The track is a hat mile af-
fair and in the relay races the team on
the outside HAS great disadvantage.

Ing Is to be part of the curriculum OF

when the committee on the course of
study recommended the introduction OF
manual training. The report was
adopted and the committee instructed
TO prepare room in the high school
building to be used as the instruction
or shop room. 1t is not the intention OF
those in charge to conf1ne or restrict the
training to the high school but an op-
portunity il to be given to the pupils

dents to be taken to the high school for
instruction. The advance step taken
BY the board on Monady evening in
recommending the adoption of the work

The matter has been under considera-
ton for some time and the fact that
