FILES CLAIM FOR 100000.
Milwaukee Rubber Co. Creditor
Starts Bankruptcy Proceedings.

A petition in involuntary bankruptcy,
alleging debts exceeding 100000. was
filed in Milwaukee against the Milwaukee
Rubber Company. whose plant is located
at Cudahy. The complaining petitioners
are William Becker. the Vilter Manufac-
turing Company, the O'Neil Oil and
Paint Company and the Schwab Stamp
and Seal Company of Milwaukee NJ.
Becker declares that the company is in
debted to him in a sum exceeding $780,
900. The three corporations declare their
bills against the company exceed $500
each. The company employs between 800
and 400 men at its CudahY plant. but it is
declared that the operation of the works
will not be affected by the legal proceed
ings. 1t is probable that a reorganiza-
ton will follow the suit.

The Combination Cow.

There is incessant warfare between
the specialists in COW breeding and the
man who wants a cow that is both a
beef maker and a mlfk-maker First
the combination cow was called a gen.
eral purpose COW, then dual purpose
cow and now some one mas hit upon
the name given above. While the spe-
ciallst is right in some things, ne IS
wrong in others. Certainly the man
that is producing milk with the idea Of
selling it must produce that milk from
the COW that will make it as cheaply
as possible, and this he will find among
the distinctly dairy cows. But there Is
a place for the combination COW. On
the high-priced land in Illinois and ad-
joining States the man who IS produc-
ing beef cattle is learning that it IS I'm
possible to make money by producing
beef cattle alone. He must utilize the
k-giving power of his cows as much
as possible. Therefore, he wants a
COW with a beef form and deep powers
of milk giving. These kinds of cows
are in existence. They are not suitable
to go into the dairy, but are suitable
as an adjunct to beef making-Farm-
ers Review.

Cultivate Permanent Pasture.

There is a very considerable amount
of land i'll Iowa and adjoining States
that should be kept in permanent pas
ture and never, except under very es-
pecial circumstances, be put under ro-
tation. The lands to which we refer
are the lands varying from rolling to
rough in the Kansas glaciatiOn in
Southern Iowa and in Missouri; lands
that are too rolling or too much cut
up with sloughs for easy cultivation,
and especially lands that have Il large
percentage Of clay, which wash read
lily even with a very moderate rainfall.
IL all the glaciatiOn, as well as in the
ungIaciated districts of Southern Mis-
souri, and extreme southern portion Of
Illinois, there is :. good deal Of land
of this character. Such lands should
be laid down in permanent pasture
Composed largely of blue grass, and
fortunate is the man who has lands of
this kind that have never been broken
up at all lii fact, the best way to Sc
cure a stand of blue grass on lands of
this character is to seed prairie sod,
then pasture it closely, too closely, in
fact. for the benefit of the live stock

Dry feeding is said to increase the
fertility of hen eggs. The approved

In making butter it is just as well to

A little boy, who was enjoying coun-
try life for the first time, astonished
the people in the house by
screaming at the top Of his

her up"
A pig once stunted can never be made
as good as it would have been had it
been kept coming right along from far

one reason why we do not believe in
fall filters. There are so few men that
can carry a litter through the winter

An American visiting in Russia tells
us that the peasants thrash grain as
our forefathers did many hundreds OF
years ago. The grain is tramped out

workers were lazy, shiftless fellows
who engaged a great deal in smoking
and drinking.
One of the leading seed corn growers
rejects all corn from down stalks. Seed
stand up. The percentage of standing
corn is figured in a row and il it Is too
low the whole row is rejected. All
breeding ears must have been produced
on standing stalks. This is a good plan,
as it has tendency to produce healthy
plants.
For colts oats lead the list of feed
ing stuffs, but shorts and bran and bar
ley, peas and some corn may be profit
ably used where economy is import
ant. Steamed crushed oats or barley,
thickened with bran, will prove very
nourishing and appetizing where colts
are suffering from teething. A linn
tied quantity Of cooked roots, mixed
with ground grain and bran, given at
night in winter time, daily, or two or
three times a week, will show in a
more thrifty general appearance.
