FIGHTING THE ARMY WORM.

While ii Is said hat every insect has its
natural enemy the only case which farm
ers have had this certified Is In that of the
army worm, which in the middle n
southern states creates havoc among
grasses and, sometimes, grains. The army
worm is migratory IN a certain states and
when II Is travelling its insect enemy tach-
ina riies take possession Of ii and destroy
1t by laying eggs all over the body of the
larvae. The maggots which hatch from
these eggs feed entirely upon the worm
and thus destroy it. 1t is not, however,
wise to depend entirely upon these insect
enemies Of the army worm, but one should
take precautions to prevent the ravages of
the worm in the event Of it's natural enemy

keted away from a local market so that a

and ask your banker to give you the
names and addresses of two or three
commission men who are rated In the
commercial agency books as being reliable.

them to give you the names and addresses

LESSONS FROM STATE FAB.

II there is one thing in which the farmer
fruit grower can afford to be a little
e-xtravagant it is in spending the money
necessary TO attend both his county and
state fairs. A Stubborn fruit grower who
lives near the writer could not see why it
was necessary to assert his fruit before
marketing. We persuaded him to attend
the state fair one year and took care that
he should over-hear the conversations
which took place between representatives
of city commission merchants and fruit
These city men Were on the
ground to ascertain who were growers of
first class fruit so that they could ar
range to secure their output. When our
friend heard bargains made for the de-
livery of future crops at prices far beyond
any he had ever received he concluded it
did pay to grow first class fruit and mar
ket assorted grades. This is but one of
the things which nay be learned at the
fairs. Co., take the wife and children; mix
with other farmers and fruit growers,
learn how they do things and you will abb
sorb more information of value to you in
a single day than you could get in a month
in INV other. waV

LOOK WELL TO SWINE NOW.


If swine need clean quarters at one time
more thai at another it is in August when
the combination OF rain, humidity and
hot sun causes the vermin to multiply rap
idly. This is the way a veteran swine raiser
treats his swine during the hot weather.
Three times a week the yard is cleaned
thoroughly, the house is cleaned daily, the
refuse being carried away to the manure
heap. Right down to the earthen bottom
he goes with shovel and hoe and then the
yard is thoroughly sprinkled with a solu-
ton of carbolic acid, If there are low
spaces they are filed In with gravel and
over all is spread a light coating of sandy
soil through which lime has been mixed.
All troughs are washed out clean after the
swine have eaten and then a few sods
from an old pasture are thrown in whore
the hogs can MUNICH them. Water is given,
In troughs, severals times daily, and a
rough shed is erected in n corner with
a roof TO provide shade. The swine are
growing finely, are perfectly healthy and,
as a consequence. can be nicely fattened q
little later.

CREAMERY IS STARTED

The creamery Is this week paying
10 cents per pound for butter fat de

tains about 40 per cent Of butter fat

Particulars Of the killing OF Jas.
Mcclure, a brother OF the late Jesse
Mcclure OF this county, have come

affair are about a follows: Mcclure
and a man named Elliott left the
town about one O'Clock In the morn
ing of May 10 to go to the shearing
corrals some six miles distant. Inc
Cwner OF the ranch was attracted by
a shot and saw Elliott driving away.
He returned shortly and told the
ranch owner that a dead man was
lying "out there" Investigation was
made and Mcclure was found with a
bullet hole In his left temple. The
man Elliott was arrested and held
without bail on a charge OF murder
in the first degree. Both men, so IL
is claimed, were under the influence
OF liquor at the time OF the happen
ing. James Mcclure was well known
in Mahaska county, having spent his
younger days here. He had lived In
Kansas and the west during the past
twenty years.
Much replanting OF corn has been
done and still not a very satisfactory
stand has been secured. Glover hay
seems TO be the most successful crop
this year.
