Probably the common black crow is
the worst enemy of the poultry raiser,
especially on the farm where the hens
have plenty of range and lay eggs on
the outskirts of the farm buildings as
well as roam into the wood lots and
the crow may consume 4 few grubs
the harm he does in devouring the
sprouting corn and the damage he in
f1icts upon the poultry justify all in
marking him for determination when
ever opportunity offers.

One of the causes contributing to
make low priced hogs, besides the
rather "hard times" which have held
sway during the winter just past, is
the fact that there has been an almost
entire absence of hog cholera in most
all sections of the country. 1t would
be interesting to know. as sort of
side issue on the situation, whether
this absence Of hog cholera may not be
quite closely connected with the fact
that corn was very scarce and high
last fall and that as a result it was fed
quite sparingly, whereas in previous
years hogs have been allowed to gorge
themselves with the soft and immature
corn. The situation presents several
important aspects which it would be
worth while for experts to look into
carefully and report upon.

Recently enacted pure food and paint
laws in the state of North Dakota have
brought some interesting things to
light. A careful inspection Of all of
the brands of paint offered for sale in
the state showed that two makes of
paint advertised as being pure white
lead paints contained not particle of
this ingredient, while another, the di-
rection for the use of which contained
precautions not to use in damp wealth
er, contained 20 per cent Of straight
water. This report, which Is an ex-
haustive one, showed that, as rule,
paint which was offered at much less
than the usual price did not contain
the ingredients its manufacturers
claimed or was adulterated with water
or other ingredients. This seems to in.
dicate that the best paint is seldom the
cheapest.

The sensible attitude to take toward
the dairy COW is that she is a machine
whose mission is the converting of
feed into milk and butter fat. In view
of the fact that the average COW has
to produce 140 pounds of butter fat
per annum to pay the expenses of
keeping her, it follows that to have a
mission that means anything to the
dairyman she must produce consider
ably more than 40 pounds of butter
annually. If she isn't good for more
than this amount she is useless and
should be forthwith converted into
canned beef.

While there is all too little tendency
with the average business organization
or corporation to give that heed to the
physical and moral we'll being of their
employees which admits the necessity
of one day of rest and recuperat1on in

such an employer is noted. OF this
type is one of the big railroad systems
running west Of Chicago and which
by the west is known as one of the
most businesslike concerns Of it's kind
in the country. Some time ago this
road inaugurated policy of discontin-
uing practically all Sunday train serv-
ice except that involved in the move
ment of through mail and express and
the running Of stock trains. it being
deemed a mercy to the stock to trans
port it on day when there would be
as few interruptions to traffic as posi-
BILE. This evidence of consideration on
the part of these employers Is unques-

In producing pork to sell there is
probably no food that gives as large a
gain in pounds as does Ger. Yet il
the pork is being produced FOR ones

the ration of corn is substituted by a
meal made of barley. peas and oats.
This latter ration gives a somewhat
better quality of meat while the tex

THRILLED WITH FIRE
Young Man From Abba Avoids
Serious Charges.

Joe Pascle, a young Italian laborer
layers near Abba, came near getting
himself into serious trouble while in
the city last week. Pascle went to
the Bell Clothing store and approach
ed Charles White, clerk in the store,
who knew him. Pascle made a small
purchase amounting to a little over a
dollar and endorsed a postal money
order for ten dollars, which was for
another Italian Iaborer, Philleppo
CandanZana.
When the Bell Clothiers tried to
cash the order they discovered tn,
the order which Pascle had given
them was the original, but that 1t was
lost in the mail and a duplicate was
issued, the order held by Pascle being
void.
A warrant was issued for Pascles
arrest, charging him with obtaining
money under false pretense and Chief
Glass, in company with Mr.. White,
went to Abba, where they found Pas
Gle and told him that he was liable to
go to the penitentiary for passing the
worthless order. The Italian stated
that he had purchased the order from
a strange Italian at the Iowa Central
depot for six dollars. The Italian who
sold him the order said he was going
to Marshalltown and could not get 1t
cashed and sold it to Pascle for little
more than half the amount of the or
der. After explaining to him the
danger of his action, Pascle settled
the matter by paying back the money
he had secured from the Bell Clothiers
and the costs in the case.

AMONG THE CHURCHES
Items of Interest Cleaned from Pull
pit and Sanctuary.

Carl L. Organ OF Des Moines, super.
intendent of Bible School and Endeay-
or work In Iowa, was present Sunday
at the closing day of Boys Month in
the Christian church Sunday school.
He addressed the school briefly at
the close of its session and spoke to
the church at the morning service OF
the lines OF the teacher training move
ment class organization and the great
interest being aroused in Bible school
work throughout Iowa and the country
lat large. Mr.. Organ has recently
made tour of some of the eastern
states, including visit to Marian
Laurences great model Sunday school
of the world at Toledo, Ohio. He is
certainly full of enthusiasm in his
work and relates many interesting
things as result of this great awak-
ening in bible stuay. The motto of
the church this year is, The entire
church and as many more in the bible
school" There is enrolled in the
teachers training movement $4,000 in
the Christian church alone. Every
indication shows that the number will
reach over 100000 by the fall months.
The address was both instructive and
prophetic of great things for the fu-
ture In bible school work. Charles
Meiggs of indianapolis said that the
greatest force in the world was Sun
day school teacher who tries to do
his best. The time is close lat hand
when Sunday school. teacher without
training and fitness for the work will

David HUFF, an aged citizen OF

home to live a year and half ago
He decided them his property on their
proposition to support him for the
remainder Of his life. One night last
June a scufile was heard in an upper
room of the house. Huff was found
dead in bed with the bed clothing very
much disturbed. Brimmingstall said
that HUFF had some sort Of violent Ill
ness-colic or something like it, and
accidentally choked himself to death
with the bed clothing The body OF
HUFF was buried next day and the
apparent haste occasioned some com.
ment.
In February of this year Smith Hor-

circumstances tending to connect
Brimmingstall with the disappearance
of Hortium. Hortium's body was
found frozen in the ice of nearby
