Poultry Notes.

When feeding ground grains
use a proportlonate part of bran.
After hens are two years old
they will not lay enough eggs in
the winter to pay for their extra
keep.
AS geese live on pasture every
farmer should raise them. Ducks
can also be protitably grown on
the average farm.
Every farmer could easily raise
good flock OF turkeys. The
prices paid during the holiday
seasons will be satisfactory and
amply repay all trouble.

Presidents Hunting Boots.

President Roosevelt has order,
ed his hunting shoes. They
really are boots, reaching almost
to the knee, and the measure
ments by which they are to be
made are the most complete ever
received by a Brockton, Mass,
factory.
At the request Of the Presi.
dent, the firm sent one of its
most expert men to Washington
to take the measurement of the
presidents feet.
Orders were gwen for four
pairs of boots, all to be duplicat
ed. Each of the Presidents feet
was carefully measured. In all
nearly fifty measurements were
taken. BY them plaster casts
will be made of the Presidents
feet and legs and the shoes liter
ally will be built on these. The
shoes are to have an extra double
sole, into which the uppers are
to be sewed with waterproof
STITCHES.

WHIPS COVE.

Many of our farmers have been
taking advantage of the fine fall
weather and hauling lime from
various points. The tiIler Of the
soil OF the present day is begin
ning to "sit up and take notice, "
and as a result, much better
farming is in evidence on every
hand; as, for instance. the several
fine fields of clover last season,
where, ten years ago, scarcely a
"patch" of clover could bN found
In all our valley.
Our soil responds quickly and
generously to the use of lime,
and more of this Is being used,
and less acid phosphate than
formerly.
The writer we'll remem bers
that when field was no longer
able, from lack of fertilizer, to
produce profitable crop of corn
or wheat, it was sown in buck
wheat; this was followed with
rye with about 100 lbs. of acid
phosphate per acre. A good crop
of buckwheat, and a fair crop of
rye, generally were gathered;
then the field what was left of
twas allowed to remain until 1t
had recovered sufficiently to go
through the same rotation of
buckwheat and rye again. This
state of affairs is largely "thing
OF the past" except in a few in
stances, mostly on rented prem
ises. But the effects are seen on
every hand in the poorer parts of
our county-old abandoned fields,
full of cutters, and covered with
a young growth of pine, locust,
sassafras, etc.-but as before
stated, this condition is h4pplly
fast disappearing as the younger
and more progressive farmer
takes hold of the plowhandle.

TELEPHONE WAR
BELL AND INDEPENDENTS SAID
TO BE PLANNING A GREAT
STRUGGLE.

Webster City, Ia, July 2o.-The
state of Iowa bids fair to become a
huge battle ground in a war to the
death between the Bell and the allied
independent telephone interests. The
first skirmish occurred several weeks
ago at Marshalltown, but no one sus
pected it's significance. Later, how.
ever, when the Bell interests merged
the lines in Dubuque city and county,
the independent companies began to
get suspicious. Two weeks ago the
Bell company turned it's efforts to Ne.
vada and Story county, but was check.
ed through the quick action of e. H.
Martin of this city and G.. P. Hoeld.
ogle of Rockwell City.
The action of the Bell interests will
result in a big merger of the indie.
pendent companies of the state. One
huge company, composed of the many
independent companies all merged into
a $20,000,000 concern, is to be the out,
come, and it is this company which
is to wage a war to the death with
the big Bell concern.
The method of the Bell company is
to buy up small Independent compa.
MES and merge them with their own
system. This leaves the adjoining
Independent companies without ter
minal facilities, ald has forced the
contest on.
