UNFORTUNATE
Of all Important Public Questions
the School Comes First to Every
Family in Iowa.

Then, why in our anxiety to i'm
prove our schools do we adhere to
experiments. Certainly the actions
of the State Superintendent office
shows an incompetency in it or it
never would have given out a bunch
of ten questions to our teachers to be
answered in one hour, one of which
alone took the whole "kaboodle" OF
school examiners some four hours to
answer and yet the teacher was ex-
pected to answer ten questions in this
branch (of which the above was one)
in one hour. Is there anything fair
in this? Why discourage the teachers
with such ''gush" as was scornfGlly
told OF them by the State Superinten-
dent last week. 1t is to be hoped that
the teachers will bring matters to a
focus even though it be necessary to
convene the Legislature in special
session to repeal this "abortive ex.
pertinent" Take the examinations
out of the hands of this abusive official
and place them with the County
Superintendent who knows the re-
quirements of every district and
serves it accordingly. Better by far
that way than to have our children
ridiculed by Mr.. Riggs, after years of
study and worry preparing them.

THE DEVIL
Got Loose near Map1eton Last Week
and Killed a Valuable Team.


w. o. Halbrook, who resides on the
Smith farm west of town ia guilty Of
one of the most fiendish acts that has
been committed in Monona county in
many u day if the statements of his
neighbors are trde. He was in town
Monday afternoon and although
blacklisted at the saloons he managed
to get on board a glorious jag. In this
condition he started home in the
evening and before reaching his desti-
nation, his blood reached the fighting
stage and he began abusing his team,
one of which he was driving and
leading the other. When he reached
home, he deliberately took an axe and
murdered them both by knocking
them in the head. 1t will be sin If
some one does not prosecute him for
the crime. Such beast in human
form should not be allowed to run at
large.-Mapleton Press,

tence. The men have lived within
two miles of each other for many
years and have been the best of
friends. Neither are quarrelsome but
are quiet citizens, obeying the laws
heretofore. But this little speck of
dynamite in that heart must have
been ready to explode and shock the
world with it's results. Let US be
thankful it was no worse.

the kitchen attendants with the re-
quest for "a little extra in each dish.
"They didn't ask me for an extra al

know enough to ask for it, but l could
see that their appetites would be equal
to the supply. That Is because they
are strangers here. Newcomers in

ways eat more than the Old-timers.

ThOrOuRh Civilization.

Thorough and frequent cultivation is
regarded by many as the best mulch
for spring, summer and fall, which in
duces the roots to seek food in every
direction, thereby becoming more num-
erous and deeply imbedded, as well az
going further beyond the penetration
of cold in winter. In this condition
it Is only in climates where the cold
Is severe that a covering Of straw or
other bulky material IS required Such
coverings should be removed as early
in spring as the season will permit,
and the cultivator used, If the crop
is such as to permit Of its use. Even
in the fall q thorough stirring of the
soil will admit the air and afford pro-
lection in the winter but 1t is pos
sible that late stirring Of the soil,
leaving the ground bare In the winter
season, may permit Of loss Of fertility
Of the soil, by teaching OF the soluble
portions by rains and melting SHOWS,

three feet high. The front and bottom
are removed. Two strips are nailed
perpendicular on the front corner, pro-
jecting foot below the bottom Of the
box. This raises the front and gives
the roof the necessary pitch when fac
ing a downhil position. Two strips
nailed on each side form a support for
porches which are fastened together
by crosspleces so all may be removed
at one operation to be sprayed.
We move this coop twice week, and
it is always clean and fresh. The
open front and bottom seem a little
risky, considering the possibility of
cats, rats or weasels. But
we are willing to run some risks If we
can fill our own and customers pens
in the fall with large, robust stock
This one plan has enabled us to pro
duce Orpingtons well up to standard
size, which some fail to do. The ac-

At the California Agricultural Ex.
pertinent Station, the chief object in
making chemical examination of
brown-shelled and white-shelled eggs
was to determine whether there is any
superiority Of one over the other as
to quality. The test shows that the
shells and their color have but slight
effect on the food value Of the eggs.
1t has been said by some that the
brown eggs are richer than the white
ones, but this statement Is not borne
out by a chemical analysis, and the
physical examination proves that the
main points of superiority, though
slight, are possessed by the white eggs.
The minute differences that are found
between the two groups are exceeded
by variation between varieties within
the same group. 1t may be stated that
there are practically no differences so
far as the food value IS concerned be-
tween white shelled and brown -sheIle.l
eggs.

A Chicken Village.

On the road from East Auburn to
Turner there is a novel sight, chicken
village, it may be termed for at the
side of a well-kept farmhouse there is
a village of perhaps a dozen little white
peak-roofed houses, and the house
nearest to the road is built to repre-
sent a church. The steeple Is as per.
feet as if the tiny building were really
intended for place Of worship. These
miniature houses are nothing more or
less than chicken coops, yet SO per-
fectly is everything arranged that the
passer-by might, at first glance, think
it a play town" belonging to some
