Charley Blagsvedt, a well known
young DEBORAH brakeman was fatally
injured last Thursday morning at De
corah by being caught between the
cars while making coupling. He was
on the inside of the sharp curve in the
track by the depot and evidently.forgot
that where cars cars on sharp curve
are bumped together there is very lit
tie space left between the corners on
the inner curve. 1t was fatal over
sight and he was crushed between the
two cars, falling down the steep creek
embankment when released. Five ribs
were broken and he sustained other in
ternal injuries of frightful nature
which resulted in his death "a hours
later.

OBITUARY.
MINTEY.

Sarah A. Witty was born at Toronto,
Canada, on the 18th day of December,
1889. Died at the home of her daugh-
ter, Mrs. Peckham, March 18th, 1908.
At Hudson, Ohio, in 1859 she was united
in marriage to Andrew J. Mintey. To
them were born six children, three of
whom survive to mourn her loss. They
are Mrs. E. J. Peckham of Albion,
Mrs. o. W. Clark of Cresco and Charles

old, when he went to Indiana and four
years later, 1856, he came to Iowa,
which state has since been his home.
The time intervening between his ar
rival in Iowa and his demise has been
almost wholly spent in Howard county.
His entire time was spent in improving

chose as his home.
By his honesty, integrity and readi-
ness to help needy neighbor Mr..
Stone won a warm affection in the
hearts of his fellow men.

The Right Sort Of Wife.

An Atchison man recently refused
a proposal of marriage. II like you,
he said to the girl, shut you have too
many friends. There would be too
many at our wedding, for you would
be afraid not to invite them all, and
your many friends wouldn't be salts
fed unless they made fools of us by
playing some kind of crazy pranks
on us when we started on our we'd
ding journey. You have so many
friends that we would get all kinds
of wedding presents that we dpn't
want, and would be kept poor in
future trying to pay back when the
donors got married. You are nice,
and like you, but what l am looking
for in wife is woman who Ia

BEST CHEAP cow RAr1oN.

In response to an inquiry in re-
gard to economic cow feeding Hoard's
Dairyman says:
Oats at so cents per bushel is at
the rate CT $S1.2 per ton, and corn
at 70 cents is s25 per ton. These
figures show that oats cannot be con-
sidered and that corn Is the cheap
est of the feeds named But corn
is low in protein and must be COM
bined with some other feed which is
rich IN that element. Cottonseed
meal meets this requirement, but
both 1t and corn are too concentrate
ed (heavy) for feeding by themselves
or in combination
For best results they should be
diluted with some light feed. Bran
answers this purpose admirably.
Hence we suggest mixing ESQ pounds
Ct cottonseed meal with $50 pounds
Of ground corn and 200 pounds OF
bran- This win give a mixture con-

The flow of milk is not large when
COWS do not have plenty of good wa
ter, and water and feeding is bet
ter way I'd mix it than at the pump,
as due proportion is obtained in
this way
Why not select good COWS as we
select good seed corn and wheat?
There are poor results when this
rule is not applied to cows as we'll
as seed.
1t is said that 10000 cows are now
milked with machinery. The milk
ing machine when found all right
will go into general use as cream
separatcrs have.
Good pure dairy salt is as essential
to good butter making as pure water
is to health. Any kind of salt won't
do for good butter, but it will do
for the poor stun that sells at half
price.
The training of colt cannot be
too thorough; a half broken horse
is not broken at all, and is always
dangerous animal.
1t takes the farm work and the
farm conditions to successfully raise
draft horses with grain feed and
handling for maturity and the devel-
opment Of draft horse size.
Dairy cows are like machines in
that they are bred for either milk
or butter as a speciality. They do
much better In their own line OF
performance than If they are bred
for both.
A good dairy COW Is developed by
intelligent breeding and feeding. It
takes seven years of steady, watch
full attention after birth to bring a
COW to her best in the production OF
milk.
