WHO STOLE coAL2
Waterworks Plant Could Not Have
Burned IT,

DuTnGQ {.
Dubuque-Although Judge Benson
has rendered his decision in the mat
ter OF the coal bill of the Martin
Strelau company and entered judg-
ment against the city of Dubuque in
the sum of s43 5000, the matter is not
settled.
The public is not satisfied. There is
no disposition on the part of the
public to shirk any honest debt but
the question persists, how did this
debt assume the magnitude it has?
1t is practically a settled fact that
the municipality owned water works
plant could not have consumed the
amount of coal charged to it and
which Judge Benson by his decree
says the city shall pay for.
Where did this coal so TO? This is
the question the public is asking.
Here is the remarkable feature of the
case and the one which makes the
taxpayers hesitate. Under the steward
ship OF Trustees Ellwanger and
Ryder and the general management
oS Macarthur this condition on the
coal account existed:

HINTS FOR FARMERS
Never preneh Cattle.

Perhaps the best way of demon
strating the danger of d%renching cattle
is to advise the reader to throw back
his head as far as possible and at
tempt to swallow. This you will find
to be Il difficult task, and you will find
it more difficult and more impossible
to swallow with the mouth open. 1t is
for this reason that drenching cattle is
q dangerous practice. However, if a
cows head be raised as high as posi-
bic and her mouth kept open by the
drenching bottle or horn a portion of
the liquid is very apt to pass down
the windpipe into the lungs, some,
times causing instant death by smoth-
ering, at other times causing death to
follow in a few days from congestion
or Inflammation Of the lungs.
Give all cattle their medicine hypo-
dermically or in feed. Ii they refuse,
give it dry on the tongue.
The proper method of giving a COW
medicine is to stand on the right side
of the COW. placing the left arm around
the nose and at the same time opening
her mouth and with a spoon in the
right hand place the medicine, which
should be in a powdered form, back of
the tongue. She can then swallow with
safety.-Chicago Inter Ocean.

HINTS FOR
Tha cara of Iurkax.

November should find the turkeys
we'll fattened with the bulk of the
seasons output on the Thanksgiving
market. Use precaution in feeding
the market turkeys and do not allow
the breeding turkeys to feed with the
failing. as fat breeders assure you OF
a poor crop the following season.
We cannot refrain from repeating
the caution Of overlooking. Thousands
Of breeding turkeys are everlastingly
ruined every year by allowing them to
feed with the market turkeys. Every
year we go over our flock and select
out our breeders. Yard them to them
selves until the heavy feeding is over,
when they are again given their free
dom to approach the breeding season
in the very pink Of condition, trans
uniting health. vigor and beauty to
their progeny, assuring US of a profit
able crop Of turkeys the coming season.

Dairy Pointers.

A careful system Of keeping accounts

the remaining IS per cent. This is
worth knowing If you viii think about
1t and act ON it.

Agricultural college gave 9.64O quarts
of milk in one year that sold for

a mighty good sermon.
A great many men are keeping cows,
but few are really dairying.
If dairying pays at all, prepare to
give the COWS better care and feed and
increase the profits.
If you are handling a herd of scrub

by milk fever. Very few scrub COWS
ever die from the trouble.

HARVESTING THE CROP
are at Work Gathering in
the Crops That Are Now
Ready for Binder.

The-farmers of Dawson county are
now busy gathering their harvest
and in many respects it is going to
be a productive one, Notwithstanding
the heavy rains which fell during
May and June, which made it impos-
sible for hundreds of acres of land
to be sown to a crop of any kind.
Oats and wheat are both being cut
at the present time. The oat crop
Will not be quite so good as last year,
and the average will fall short. This
is on account of the rust that prevails
in the fields, and which has caused
the straw to break and is difficult to
cut the grain. In some parts of the
county the oats show to a better adj
vantage than in others, this being
noticeable in the north part.
Bearded wheet is being cut at the
present time, but the blue stem is a
little behind. The wheat crop is re-
ported to be very good, and the aver
age per acre will be increased sever
al bushels over last year. Some por-
tions of the county were drowned out
by the excessive rainfall, and the
grain could not be replanted. There
are many pieces of wheat which will
average from 20 to rs bushels.
The corn crop without doubt is 60
ing to be very satisfactory. Corn
that was planted before the middle of
May escaped the heavy rainfall that
came afterward, and it has had suf-
fcient moisture since then, coupled
with growing weather. so as to make
a fine growth. 1t is we'll advanced
with the season, and all. it has to do
is to beat out the frost at the end of
the season. Ears are we'll formed.
Dawson county will mako a fairly
good record for the year in all things.
