A FINE HERD
!. c. Powell Has Purchased a Fine
Bunch Of Duroc Jersey Hogs to
80 with Hereford Cattle

G. Powell, the owner of one of
the best herds of Hereford cattle in
Iowa, adds Duroc Jersey hogs to
his breeding operations. Last
week Mr.. Powell attended a four
day sale circuit in northeast Ne
braska where more Euroc Jersey
hogs are bred, raised and sold than
in any other like territory in the
U. S.,-where single females haze
sold as high as $1575 in the last few
days. AS with his Herefords so
with his Durocs, breeding and in
dividuality must be the best. With
this end in view, Mr.. Powell se.
cured Dass No. 142462 and Esther
l42446, two tried females (Dass far
rowing thirteen and Esther eleven
Pigs last year, )bred one to Prince,
Regent No. 52083, the other to Ra.
diator No. 28865, all of these hogs
are from prize winning blood, in
fact their pedigrees show they
combine the blood of such cham
pions and winners az Nebraska
Belle, Long John, Advance and
Orion families, individuals of
which have cold as high as $4,000.
Another worlds record price was
made February % at Savannah. Mo-,
when syndicate of breeders paid
an even $1,000 for Duroc Jersey
gilt. Public sales where the aver
age runs from one hundred to two
hundred and fifty dollars are COM
mon, 80 it is little wonder that hog
breeders are smiling. AS source
of wealth the hog has no equal"

SERIOUS ACCIDENT
0rel, the Son Of Irwin Jones Very
Seriously Hurt, Breechpin
of Gun Blown Out.

Last Tuesday evening as Mr..
Jones was firing gun, the breech-
pm new out striking him squarely
the depth of three and one.half or
tour inches and making hole that
easily permitted the Introduction
OF the index finger of the doctors
hand which he used part of the
time in removing the shattered
bones. A probe and forceps were
also used in removing numerous
splinters of bone. One eve was
trlghttuliy swollen when DR.. New
lon arrived there and it is feared
that IN the eye ball is injured badly.
HE face was also terribly powder
oarns, yet Notwithstanding the Sc,
we're injuries received, he did not
lose consciousness and with a
little help removed the breech pin
himself. The wound itself is not
necessarily fatal although in gun
shot wounds there ie ALWAYS dan
ger of blood poison.

The title to the south part of
Park street extending a distance OF
over two blocks, which was tried
before the court last Thursday will
not be made known until the 18th
of March. This is the case of the
town of Extra vs P. /. Whitfield. The
town claims the street which the
council recently vacated by ordi-
nance and then sold on conditions.
Whitfield lays claim to the part of
the street AUDITING his property for
the reason that he has had it fenced
and used as if it was his own for
close to forty years without a pro-
test from the council. The case
caused mum Der of the older citi.
zens and some of the council to at
tend court as witnesses.

Christian Church Notes.

Fine audiences in Extra Sunday
morning and evening, the young
people being much in evidence at the
latter service.
The new hymn books for the Extra
church have been ordered. Possibly
they may reach here in time to be
used next Lords day.
Miss Dora johnson leads the Senior
Endeavor society Sunday evening.
Topic: Lessons from the Life OF
Abraham the Patriarch"
Chow an Officeholder was Led into
the Redeemer's Kingdom" will be the
subject of the sermon on Sunday
night. Theme in the morning: "The
Unfaltering Hero"
The preacher was IL charge of the
marshal all Sunday afternoon, the
situation being that the former hav-
ing to speak at the Audubon township
church the latter kindly drove him
out to his appointment.
The muddiest roads this winter
were encountered on Sunday after
noon. Then to add variety to the oc-
casion the buggy broke down, the
preacher and his escort, M. ID. Thorn.
as being compelled to halt at 9 farm
house and have the buggy repaired.
In the foreign missionary Offering
the Audubon township church was
not forgotten. From those who
struggled through the mud to be pres
emit at the services SUNDAY afternoon
So IS was contributed. The absent
ones will be given an opportunity to
increase this amount next Lords day.
The offering for foreign missions
was genuine surprise. We hardly
expected such generous contribu-
ton. The amount received at the
close of the sermon on Sunday morn
ing was $l6.5S. Since then $2.53 have
been handed in, making total Of
$19.11. The collection will not be for
warded to headquarters until next
Monday. In the meantims those who
desire to share in this benevolence
can do so by giving their offerings to
DR.. Hammer or the preacher himself.
We ought to make the whole amount
not less than $50.

(, Generally it Is the farmhouse which

land improved. There Is always some
comfort and convenience which can
well be added, and many times not
much expense is involved in the i'm

sewage disposal and heating. The
farmer is shown how, at compare
lively small expense, he can supply
his home with water by means of an
elevated tank filled by hydraulic
ram, windmill or small engine.
The best methods of disposing of
the sewage are explained and Illus

Here is plan followed by the dairy
men Of Denmark which suggests q
practical method Of which dairymen in
American communities may weed out
:unprofitable cows and thus insure
larger net profit: Thirty or more own
ers of diaries employ an official test
or whose duty 1t is to keep a record
,of each COW. His reports are made
regularly and the owner of each herd
knows exactly what each one Of his
cows is doing and Is able intelligently
to weed out the robber cows. AS a re-
suit Of the system In Denmark the pro-
ducing value of dairy COWS was in.
creased in one year from $13 to $50
each.
