Whiskey vs. StryChnine.

A South Dakota temperance man
went to town, and as the wolves
were bothering in his part of the
country considerably he bought a
good supply of strychnine to take
home, expecting to use it and obtain
a good bounty for the wolves caught.
After buying the strychnine he loaded
up with little of the South Dakota
fire water. and also bought a pint of
the stuff to take home with him.
The atmosphere in a manner affected
him so that he thought it a good
time to mix the whiskey and strych-
nine while going home. Then he
formed the impression that he was a
wolf and took some of the strychnine.
His team went home alright but he
was found in the bottom of thessleigh,
supposed to be dead, but strange as it
may seem, having taken strychnine
enough to kill ten wolves, he pulled
through. The whiskey was evidently
equally as poisonous as the strychnine
and it served as an antidote, one
poison offsetting the effects of the
other.

Blast Furnace for WaukOn Ore.

Prospects are Frightening for the
commencement of extensive operations
at the iron mines this season, and if
carried out as planned the long
cherished hope of the mines being
developed on large scale will be re-
allied. This will include the con-
struction of railway down the Viii
lage Greek valley to wharfage point
ON the Mississippi near Lansing where
by the ore can be transported by boats
to blast furnace at Dubuque. 1t is
learned that the project of establish
ing blast furnace in Dubuque is to
be carried out by eastern and Iowa
capital and unless there is hitch in
the arrangements Dubuque will have
one of the greatest industries in the
state before another year passes. East
ern parties have about completed ar
rangements for the organization OF a
big company which will have for its
object the building and operation of
blast furnace in Dubuque. This plan
is to erect furnace at Eagle Point
and have the iron ore brought from
Allamakee county by boat. That
enormous quantities of iron ore of a
good quality are deposited in the
vicinity of Waukon, none will doubt.
The ore is easy to get at and as the
mines are located but short distance
from the Mississippi it would not
require much capital to build railc-
road to the river and then ship the ore
to Dubuque by boat. This is the plan
of the parties who have renewed the
project. They would locate their fur
mace at Eagle Point and would then
be in position to receive the ore and
get cheap transportation of the ore to
Dubuque and of the manufactured pro-
duct from there by water.

How Was il DORe1

Perplexing problems are often offered
in baseball matters and to test the
ability of DEBORAH fans in solving
these the following is offered:
In game between Atlanta and
Montgomery, at Montgomery in 1908,
the score stood 8 to in favor of At
lana, when the home team came to
bat in the last half Of the ninth in
ming. Two Montgomery players were
ON bases and two men were out. when
Smith came to bat. Bear these facts
in mind Two men were ON bases,
two men were out and two runs were
needed to win the game. Smith was
not credited with hit, no error was
made, no base on balls was given, no
batter was hit by the pitcher, there
was no put out, yet Montgomery won
the game 6 to 5.
This problem has puzzled more than
one old baseball fan, and it is now
offered to DEBORAH baseball followers
to work out Solutions are requested.

Deal Made for a Fire Alarm System.

By the generosity of Pioneer Fire
Co. Waukon is to be equipped with
an up-to-date fire alarm system. Bald
win Bros. of Winona, Mimi, manu-
facturers of reliable system of this
kind, sent representative here last
week and presented the merits Of their
apparatus to the Fire Co. and also to
the council, after which the Fire Co.
decided to purchase the outfit on
condition that the city buy the large
bell and bear the expense of installing
the system. This was agreed to by
the council at their session Monday
night.
The cost of the system is $500 and
consists of an electrical connection
with six boxes in different parts of the
city, from which an alarm can be
turned in. A large bell on the city
hall tower will sound the alarm and
by numbered strokes will indicate the
location of the fire. The system will
be strung about the city on the
telephone and electric light poles and
its completion is called for by May
first. Democrat.

February the Worst.

According to the monthly metero-
logical summary issued by Weather
Observer Parker, of the Dubuque
station, February was the coolest
month in twenty years and there was
only one colder since the bureau was
established there thirty-one years
ago. The average temperature for
the month was ID degrees above zero.
In 1885 the average was 13, while in
1875 it was 6, the latter being the
coolest month recorded. The average
for the past thirty-one years for Feb
ruary is 81. The highest temperature
for the month was 49 on the 2Sth,
while the lowest was 25 degrees below
on the 18th. About an inch and a
half of rain and snow fell during the
month.

A Sl,5OO,OOO Fire in Cedar Rapids.

From fire caused by spontaneous
combustion in the hull grinding room,
resulting in terrific explosion that
was heard and felt all over the city,
the immense mills and elevators of
the American Cereal Company at
Cedar Rapids, the largest in the world,
were Tuesday night completely des-
troyed by fire, involving loss of ST.

of insura nee. So far as is known
only one man lost his life, JOS. Skvor,
of 42l ID avenue west, aged 90, being
blown out of fifth story window of
the building in which the fire origin
ated, striking on the brick pavement
below. 1t was night of terror in
that city. The combined efforts of the
local fire companies and those from
neighboring cities were taxed to the
limit to keep the flames from spread
ing over the city. 1t is hard blow

Ate Her own Butter.

A woman living near Ackley recent
ly took some excellent looking butter
to her groceryman in that town and
then surprised the individual by
asking for butter in ecXhange. The
butter man being curious parsonage
inquired rs to why she should sell
butter and then buy the same article.
The customer hesitated for a time,
but finally told him that mouse had
gotten into the cream, and as she had
taken it out in a reasonable time she
thought the butter was all Fright, but
the thoughts of mouse in the cream
were so vivid that she did not like to
eat the butter herself, but that if a
person did not know it, it would be
all right. The grocer went back to
his ware room, remodeled the butter
and sold it back to the same party, and
in few days. thinking it a good
joke, told his customer of the trick he
had played, whereupon she became
very anrgy and began trading with
Iowa Falls merchants. Sentinel.

Attempted Suicide.

Joseph Kerns. son of John Kerns,
living two miles northwest Of Fair
bank in Bremen county, shot himself
above the heart with a 32-calibre re-
volver. Friday Kerns, who is.27 years
of age, began to show signs of insani-
ty. Armed with two revolvers and a
Winchester rife he drove his folks
from the house and has kept them in
fear for several days. The sheriff of
Bremen county was notified and he in
structed. the officers at Fairbank to
take charge of the insane man. They
proceeded to do so. and when Kerns
saw them approaching the house he
realized that he was to be taken into
custody, and shot himself as stated.
Physicians were called and expressed
the opinion that he will recover. Since
the shooting the young mans reason
seems to have been restored. Kerns
now wants to live and regrets his
rash action.

STRAWBERRIES AND ASPARAGUS.

There are two things at least which
should find place on every farm-a
good large strawberry bed and an as
paragus bed. Both are very easy to
get, yet they are wanting on two-thirds
of the farms Of the country. AS the
time will soon be here to take the nee
essary steps to secure these two things
we again give few simple directions:
A bed containing four rows of straw
berry plants six rods long will furnish
all the berries any family can use both
for eating when fresh and for canning
and preserving. Get good, strong, well
rooted plants of the previous years
growth and set them early in the spring
two feet apart in the row and four feet
between rows. Select such varieties as
have done well in your neighborhood.
For most of the northwest the Lovett,
Senator Dunlap, Warfield, Havilland,
Clyde and Beder Wood are standard
varieties The soil should be rich
enough to grow seventy-five bushels Of
corn to the acre. The bed should be
well cultivated the first year and all
weeds killed. Cover in early winter
with three inches Of clean straw or
hay. Fruit next season, moving all
the picking season is over; then cult
vate the bed thoroughly with horse
cultivator, leaving strip of plants in
each row about eight inches wide to set
plants for the next years crop. After
fruiting two years pillow up and have
another bed ready to take the place of
the old one. Change the land on which
you grow berries. The asparagus bed
needs different treatment. A bed 8 by
16 feet will supply large family. The
asparagus bed is permanent thing,
and the older it grows the better it
gets provided it Is properly cared for.
Asparagus is very gross feeder, and
the soil cannot be made too rich. A
good way is to dig out the bed to a
depth of eighteen inches and fill in with
old bones, some 'wood ashes and rich
barnyard manure. Cover this with ten
inches of good soil, set the plants two
feet apart each way and do not cut the
first two years unless you have very
strong old plants to start with. After
that the bed may be cut continuously
from early spring to the time when the
first green peas are ready to pick.
Give the bed liberal coating of ma
nure every spring after the old stalks
are removed. These two things are
worth $40 year to any farm home.

Will use Cement Posts.

l.. ID. Stocking Shaking prepara-
tions to manufacture a large number
of cement fence posts as soon as
spring opens. He has bought 10 acres
of land near the Stocking estate in
Buffalo township, on which there is
large quantity of first class gravel
At the price at which cement can
now be bought the posts can be
manufactured at a cost below the pre-
vailing price for good oak posts. Mr..
Stocking will manufacture posts
enough to practically replace all the
wooden posts on the Stocking farms,
and will also turn out several hund.
reds for others who have ordered
them. Independence Bulletin Jour.

THINGS WHICH DON'T PAY.

There are some things which don't
pay and which many farmers do. 1t
doesn't pay to see how many acres of
land he can scratch over and call it
farming, for 1000 bushels of corn are
more cheaply produced on twenty acres
than on forty. 1t doesn't pay to take
any kind of old seed and sow it, trust
ing to the Lord to send you good crop,
for he won't do it; like begets like. 1t
doesn't pay to keep a cow which only
just pays for her board, yet hundreds
of men do it. 1t doesn't pay to keep dog
which your neighbor is afraid of; bet
ter kill the brute than lose good neigh
Dor. 1t doesn't pay to raise turkeys I'M
less your nearest neighbor is at least
half mile away. 1t doesn't pay to set
out q nice young orchard and then let
it grow up to grass and weeds and then
turn in the stock to eat the grass. 1t
doesn't pay to grow the same crop on the
same land year after year; the natural
law is rotation or ruin. 1t doesn't pay to
hold farm product for higher prices
when it will sell for enough to pay first
cost and reasonable profit. 1t doesn't
pay to be land poor-have more acres
than can be profitably used. 1t doesn't
pay to treat hired man as an inferior
or try to squeeze out of him more than
is fair and right, for hired men have
souls and long memories. 1t doesn't pay
to keep a rough, profane, vulgar hired
man around the place If you have
young boys; better boil your acres and
your business down and get along with
out hired man. 1t doesn't pay to be
indifferently content to do as well as
your grandfather did and do things his
old ways; the world has moved on. 1t
doesn't pay to try to make a graintield
out of meadow until you first get 1t
properly drained. 1t doesn't pay to keep
more stock than you can properly feed
and shelter. 1t doesn't pay to raise scrub
stock when it costs no more to raise
good stock. 1t doesn't pay to remain per-
petually in debt when you might learn
to be contented with a smaller farm
and enjoy life. 1t doesn't pay to be eat
ing up this year what you expect to
earn next year; try oatmeal and milk
and pay as you go. And, lastly, it new
err pays to be other than just, hon.
est, fair and square in all your bust
ness, for there are sharper and meaner
men than you in the world, and you
are dead sure to run on to them.

entirely possible congestion of traffic

be, the road in question often having
to deliver as many as 600 cars of live
stock at the yards between o'clock

derailed car, a disabled locomotive, may
very easily block the whole road. And
the road referred to is only one of sew
