HAD TAKEN ''COkE"
Junkin Says He Had Two Hittles of
Drug and Was Wild
and Frantic.

That John Junkin, the self con
fessed murderer of Clara Rosen
on the night Of February 5, was
under the influence Of cocaine at
the time of the deed is the latest
development in the case. When
enroute to Des Moines from Abba
yesterday morning with Chief
Gallagher, in answer to questions,
Junkln admitted that February 5
he had obtained two so cents bot.
Ties Of cocaine, both from Ed.
Crutchfeld The first was obtain
ed early in the day and the sec
ond was obtained about $50
o'clock that night, when he met
Crutchfeld on Jefferson street, as
he, Junkin, was. going toward
Dutro's grocery store. The muir
derer stated further that after the
CRIME was committed he was so
under the influence Of the dope
that he couldn't remember what
disposition had been made of the
Sll.l5 stolen from the girl
Fatigued from the almost unceasine
Tolls OF the last week, Chief Pete Gal
lagher returned from Des Moines last
night where he in company with
Sheriff Griffin of Abba and Fl. C. Will

derer for safe keeping When inter
viewed this morning the chiefs first
words were unstinted praise for the
Des Moines police force, Sheriff and
Mrs Griffin and Ed. Webb of Abba
Junkin, in charge Of Gallagher. Grit
lin and William was taken from Abba
Sunday morning at Sis to Des
Moines, arriving in the capital city at
about s o'clock. No foreword had been
sent to Des Moines by the chief. be-
cause crowd at the depot was to be
against, but the Des Moines
offlclals had 'phoned to Abba and
other points along the railroad to learn
If Junkin was enroute to them for
satekeep1ng At the train Gallagher
and his party were met by the patrol
wagon, the sergeant and a police
squad and, relieved, they hurried Jun.
KIN to the wagon and then to the Jail.
They treaeed the Ottumwa men royal
ly and Gallagher stated SO frankly.
The Des Moines police are princes
and they have Jail that is a palace
IN comparison to some might name,''
the chief briefly summed the situation
up. There's no danger of any sized
mob getting Johnny Junkin out of the
Des Moines Jail. Sheriff Griffin and
his wife also deserve great credit for
the way they worked in this case. The
sheriff really neglected his own work

TAE ROUND BARN.

Some who plan to build barns are de batting whether the round or more com mon rectangular structure will be the more satisfactory Some points ln fa- eor of the round barn as well as some disadvantages are worth noting. The round barn Is the more substantial in case of storm. and the stable work fin some respects is more easily done. par ticularly If the silo Is fin the center On the other hand. the round barn l. Inore difficult and expensive to build, while the interior space cannot be so economically used. owing 10 the seg mental rather than rectangular spaces Az to the slie advantage in the round barn. IL Is DO longer considered neces sary that the silo should be included in the barn structure. and hence it's location ut the center of the round barn. except for convenience in feed ing operations. would seem 10 be q drawback rather than a point in itS favor

ORIGIN OF BORDEAUX MIXTURE

Like mnny another useful prepara
 ton. the bordeaux mixture. which has been used as Il fuagieide since 1888 and is an invaluable aid to orchard and vineyard owners. was discovered by mere chance. It is said that near the town of Bordeaux. France. owners of certain vineyards by the roadside were in the habit of sprinkltng them with yerdigris to give them the ap- pearance of having been poisoned in order to prevent depredations. Later n mixture of copper suphate and lime was used as n substitute for this. When the mIldew made It's appearance in these vineyards ft was noticed that the vines which had been given this treatment were freer fro0i the disease. and thus by very simple deduction the mixture later called bordeaux. was given the credit for the good work From that day to the present il has held first place as the most valuable and effective of fungieides.

The pasture should be one of the best assets on well managed farm and if properly handled should give as large 4 return with as little outlay of work AS any other acres on the place One way in which it's efficiency may be increased is to give if light top dressing of fertilizer with the spreader paying special attention to the spots where the soil seems to be the thinnest In this way au effective disposal can be made Of much of the manure which aecuuuiates about the stables during the summer months. which If not carried out would lose about half of it's fertilizing value from exposure 10 rain and weather.

A discerning contributor to a well known dairy paper In accounting for the financially strapped condition of so many dairymen In sections of New York which he visited finds the chief reasons for their unenviable condition 10 be poor cows. the buying of much feed that ought to be raised on the farm. failure to utilize 10 their full value the crops that are produced. es= pecially corn. and waste of money in extravagant personal habits when if ought 10 be spent for supplies for the home and feed for the dairy cows The causes cited by this investigator would seem to be sufficient to account for a good deal Of low ebb dairying and farming

Tn England there are farms which have been cropped continuously for hundreds of years which are today giving larger crop returns than at the beginning. in some instances two and a half times the yield. This has been possible as result of the English
