PATRICK RILEY DIES.

Former Day Tower Man at BeIknap
Passes Away in Coatesville, Mo.
Belknap, March 19.-Patrick Riley,
who has been day tower man at this
place for the last year or more, died
at his home at Coatesville, Mo-, yes
illness with kidney trouble, part Of
which time was spent in the hospital
at Centerville. All was done for him
that medical skill and loving hands
could do, but they could not stay the
grim reaper, death, which took him
away in the midst of life, health and
enjoyment and in the early years of
his young manhood. He was the
youngest of five brothers Samuel,
John, Thomas, James and Patrick. The
four brothers, with their father, re-
main to mourn his departure. Mr..
Riley had followed in the footsteps of
his brothers in regard to employment
as they We're all engaged in railroad
work mostly as conductors and sta
ton agents. Thomas Riley was for a
number of years station agent here,
having since removed to Milwood, Ill.
Mr.. Riley's remains will be laid to rest
tomorrow at Coatesville. Mo-, by the

MAY DIVIDE DIOCESE.
Plan on Foot to Make Two Episcopal
Districts in Iowa.


Districts in Iowa.
Waterloo, March 20.-As result Of
Bishop T. N. Morrison's slow recovery
from serious nervous disorder while
in Italy the Iowa diocese Of the Episco.
pal church may either be divided with
two see cities, or a coadjutor may be
chosen. Those who know how serious
Bishop Morrison's illness really is
have no expectation that he will ever
again be able to perform the work
of the diocese if it is coextensive with
the boundaries of the state.
Rev. D. Catneil, rector of S. Paul's'
Episcopal church, Dos Moines. is re,
ported te have expressed his FRI, cen.
viction tltat he could raise 100000 fn'
the church in shot time On condi-
ton that Inc state should be dividei
into two ,-ioceses. 1t is his idea to
set apart the western portion OF the
state and maize either Council Bluffs
or Sioux City, preferably tue latte,
the see city.
Later, ~ en- the population of ths,
state becomes larger and tn me- mbe--
ship Of the Episcopal church is H.
creased, it L light be advisabls to set
apart another .siocese and NIKE Des

TO AVOID LOSS,
WATCH THE PIGS
HOW A COMMON USELESS DRAIN
ON FARM PROCEEDS MAY BE
DONE AWAY WITH - PROPER
CARE OF HOGS.

Every farmer who is careless in the
feeding and handling Of hi hogs is
counting heavy drain in the annual
net proceeds of his farm. The Iowa
Experimental station submits the FOL
lowing to the farmers of Iowa:
Everyone wuo lost a healthy pig
last spring, lost the equivalent of
five dollar bill. The loss of six pigs
or an ordinary litter, amounts to
months wages for the average farm
hard. The loss of pigs on each Iowa
farm last spring, meant five million
dollars less in actual farm profits
How many Of us lost more than 5
pigs?
Loss of pigs is largely due to i'm
rowing and lack of care at narrowing
time. The man who feeds his brood
sows all winter on strictly corn IA
ton, is simply counting failure and
can reasonably expect to lose part If
his pigs. The man who feeds oats,
snorts, bran, tankage or some other
protein food, along with his corn can
reasonably expect good success at
narrowing time, provided he furnishes
suitable quarters.
1t Is penny wise, pound foolish"
policy, that does not provide good
quarters for each SOW. One pig will
pay the cost while lack of care often
results in the loss of the whole litter.
Oftentimes, a years profits are lost
in a week, through lack of prepare
ton
Reprove Early
Now is the time to make arrange
ments for the April pigs. Besides 4
pen to herself, each sow should have
sunshine, exercise and good food.
Some breeders prefer the central hog
house. Others, the individual. Most
of us will be obliged to make the best
use possible of what we have at
hand. The careless man viii lose his
pigs, with the best buildings. The
careful business-like man, will often
succeed with meager equipment. The
small Individual cot enables the hog
producer to get his SOW away from
the muddy lot out on the blue grass
hill. where she farrows undisturbed
and where the newborn litter gets
plenty Of exercise, sunshine and green
food, three very successful things in
pork production.
1t Is q serious mistake to feed the
SOW anything the first day after far
rowing. Give her nothing but tepid
water. The second day allow her &c
lave little food IF the sama kind as
that fed her before narrowing. In
crease the feed gradually, the rate OF
increase depends upon the size Of the
litter and milking procliyities of the
SOW. The mistake is often made Of
starting the SOW on some other kint
Of feed Immediately after she farrows
This Is likely to cause scours in the
pigs. No. man can tell another how tt
feed. The successful feeder is the mar
who keeps watchful eye on his hero
and cuts down litter that is getting
too fat or gives additional feed to the
SOW with the lean litter; always tax
ing care not to allow the youngsters
to contract during the first two week;

Mistaken Identity.

called to see the news man and his
family. Sunday Of last week the
Byerlee tribe met the Mobiles and
the Poor family, their friends, and
visited in company the city park.
We had a lovely time aud every
thing went well until we came to
the bears den, when the old CHINA.
mon bear stood up on his hind feet
aud begged for peanuts the young
sters were eating. Mrs. Noble
began to cry and STOPPING down

have they got you in here for, /
thought you were up homer We
told her that was a bear, not Mr..
Noble. oh" she replied, that $
so. | didn't notice his hands. II
is to laugh, yet. But when a big

GOOD AS HOOD RIVER
Strawberry Bed of L. H. Smith
Yields Second Crop.

Leroy II. Smith brought us a
box of second crop strawberries
raised on his lot which beats any
thing we have ever seen either
here or at Hood River, the most
famous strawberry section Of the
world.
Mr.. Smith planted this lot 4sx7o
feet to Strawberries in the spring
of 1906. This spring he did not
have time to cultivate them until
they began to blossom and did not
dare to do so then, consequently
they received no cultivation this
year until after the crop was har-
vested. Then Mr.. Smith went in
and just tore up the ground, run.
ners, weeds and sometimes the
plants, cultivated deep and thor
oughly, first having moved the
crop of hay and weeds. The plants
at once began to grow vigorously,
budded, blossomed, set fruit and he
has been gathering these fine plump
strawberries which pack full four
tier in the ordinary hallock.
The first crop yielded 336 hal
locks or ID crates. Besides what
his own family used and the friends
he gave berries to, he sold $40
worth in the market. Strawberries
are 80 cents per box now and Mr..
Smith has lots of them to sell. He
says not all the hills are bearing,
but some of them are as heavily
loaded as they were the first crop.
II will be interesting to note wheth-
er these plants will bear as well
next year as IL they had not made
the second crop this season. The
berries have as good color, shape,
flavor and in every way are the
same as the first crop, except per-
haps not quite so sweet. Now,

FRAKES WIN PENNANT
Season Closes With st. Johns
Third in the Race.
Standing of the Tri-City Teams.

The Tri-City base ball league
closed with the game between the
Cubs and Kelso at the grounds OF
the latter Sunday. The result Of
this game in which the Cubs de-
feated the Tigers was great sur-
prise, as il was anticipated that the
Washington lads would win with
ease and thus be tie with the Milli-
ners in the race for the pennant.
The Frakes, therefore, come into
possession of the penpant. 1t cam
not be said that they won it in a
worthy manner. Too many shady
games were pulled of to admit of
this, but as the management of the
league is apparently satisfied with
the manner in which the games
were won, nothing remains but to
submit. One thing is certain, how
ever, that If steps are not taken to
prevent dishonest games being cred
tied, next year $ games will not be
as successful as this year $ were.
The past season has been fairly
successful one in a financial way.
The local club for the greater part
of the season was good, but their
playing was much better at home
than when on visit.
Pascal Hill promises to make sew.
eral decided improvements to the
local grounds and Manager Moore
has concluded TO retain most OF his
players for next season.
The locals won a game Sunday
from the Wabash team reinforced
by Coast League players. The
game was an intensely interesting
one and was won by Moore superb
pitching The score was q to 4 in
favor Of the locals.
