A POISON PLANT.

Look out for the wafer hCmlock
II is poisonous plant that grows in
marshy places and kills cattle that
happen to eat it, The owner thinks
his cows have blind staggers" when
II is hemlock poisoning.
The plant has an offensive odor,
which generally keeps stock rom
eating it, but not always. The hem
lock resembles peppermint, and in
good soil may grow TO a height of
several feet. 1t kills horses as well
as cows.
Sometimes it is known as wild
,parsnip," and it is rapidly fatal 10
both man and beast. 1t is one of tho
nest poisonous native plants in the
United States. 1t accounts for The
frequent and mysterious death of COWS
that often occurs while feeding on
swampy pastures. Some notable cases
recently occurred near Bristol, Tenn,
which were referred to government
experts and resulted in the inlorma-
tion given above. No remedy has yet
beer discovered.

nooK.MoRM 1N cATTLE.

Cattle in the Southern States are
considerably affected by the hook
worm. In South Carolina, especially,
il is a serious pest. which often pro-
duces death.
The disease comes on with slow
fever, diarrhoea and loss of appetite.
1t soon becomes chronic with Const-
patton, emaciadon, and thinness oi
blood. Young cattle are more subject
to it than old ones, The worm is
found principally in the first part OF
the small intestine and attacks the
mucous membrane with sharp teeth,
sucking blood from the wound.
The mr-growu worm is Of about
the thickness Of a pin, and from one
half to five-eights Of an inch in
length. Eggs are deposited in the
intestines and discharged with the
fcces, They seem TO hatch in the
pasture grass which they climb ready

The prospect for cure of tho
disease is not flattering. Prevention
is the main hope Dry weather is

b. disinfelted, and lawland pastures
should be avoided, as the parasitic

.BREEDING FOR DAIRY,


The best method for breeding for
dairy COWS seems to be often mis-
understood. For instance, some PEG
pie make a point of breeding up a
good Jersey herd for the sake of rich
milk. Then they turn in a Holstein
bull to increase the quantity, sup
posing that the progeny will be cop
ious mixers as well as rich mixers
Experience shows such an effort
e. be failure. The mixing of dis
tinct breeds works badly. Each has
been bred in distinct lines, which
clash when they come together, and
tend to destroy each other. Line
breeding, as it is called, is best.
You mus select given breed and
stick to 1t TO get best results.
Rather than mix the breeds, it is
better to breed a bull of pure stock
on scrub COWS, and thus grade up
This can be done, because the scrubs
have no strong protency in any given
line, and directing of tendency falls
e. The bull.
However, the bringing up a dairy
COW counts for about as much as her
b ceding. Often this will give better
qualities to a scrub than are possess
e. by a pure-bred COW, that has been
Starved and stunted by poor food and
bad treatment.

BUTTER FAT AND BUTTER.

What is the difference, you ask, be-
tween butter fat and butter? Or how
much butter will given amount Of
butter fat make?
Well, the difference is usually about
10 or 20 per cent. That is, eighty
pounds of butter fat will churn about
100 pounds of butter The amount
varies, according to the way of doing
the work, for some butter has more
water, salt and curds in it than other
butter, Any way there will be mord
better than butter fat.

DR.. Edwards then presented the
work of the college and its needs, ex-
planning the new improvements which
are just being completed on the build

Condition In State AS Cleaned BY
Weather Bureau Correspondents.

Des Moines, Sept. THE past week
brought a notable change from the
hot, dry weather which prevailed
through the larger part of August. The
average temperature was 5 to 7 de-
grees below the normal, and showers
occurred Thursday or Friday in all
parts of the state. Light frost was OBJ
served on low ground in the northern
districts on the mornings OF Sept. list
and 5th, but no damage was done eX-
cept to the most tender vines. The
rainfall was general, but came too
late to benefit the early corn, and Will
not be of any advantage to the late
corn unless dry, warm weather pre-
walls until after the first OF Ostober.
The rain has, however, revived pas
lures somewhat, and in some local.
ties has softened the ground suffici-
emily to permit fall plowing to be re-
sumed. The long drouth has serious
IT, affected the corn crop, and the yield
will be from 10 to 20 per cent less than
was anticipated during the fore part
o; August, although there are many
sections in the northern half OF the
state where the yield will be fully up
to the average of past years. The
drouth has also pevented blowing to
such an extent that the acreage OF
fall wheat and rye will be much less
than previously indicated. The second
crop of timothy and clover hay will be
considerably shorter and lighter thar
last year, and late potatoes will be al
most failure in many sections. More
rain is needed to put the ground In
condition for blowing and for fall pas
turage. Reports vary as to conditions
OF apples; in some sections an average
crop is expected, while IN other local.
ties the prospects are very poor.
Special reports from Mahaska ant
nearby counties follow:

Saturday Evening.
Swift Memorial Service.

The reports of Foreign Mission
work were presented to the Yearly
Meeting Friday morning, special en-
phasis being laid upon the work at
Jamaica, where the interests OF the
Iowa Yearly Meeting of Friends have
been concentrated for so many years.
The Friends African Mission work
was also presented. Much OF the
morning hour was given up for a me-
mortal service in honor of Arthur IL.
Swift, recently deceased, who was
missionary at Jamaica. Gilbert Farr
spoke at some length in regard to the
work of the late missionary and his
wife and of the sorrow which had
come over the Yearly Meeting be-
cause of his death. This was follow
ed by numerous remarks and prayers
upon the same theme. Elan and
Elda Henderson, who have spent a
Jew months in the work AT Jamaica,
and who expect to return there under
the direction of the Iowa Yearly
meeting, gave interesting and inspir'
ing addresses upon the needs OF those
interests. Robt. Simpkins, a mission

that field.

MENT is ARRANGED FOR.

Successful Bidders, Magden
& SheeIy.

day, Labor Day, evening, eschewing
fire works and celebration allurements
for the call of duty. Aside from the
routine affairs regularly before the
session the council awarded the con-
tract for about half mile of street

of s1.66H. The price of the paving
last year was $1.59. Mr.. Magden, who
was present at the meeting, explained
to the council that had the work been
done earlier in the season the price
would have ben lower, the increase
being caused by the increased price
of labor. The Carbon bid for the paw
ing per yard was $1.69k per square
yard. Oskaloosa brick will be used.
Mr.. Magden will commence the work
of putting In the curb, which Is the
combined curb and gutter, some time

Peace Reports.
The attendance was very good at
the Friday afternoon session which
was devoted to the reports OF the COM
mittee on Peace and an address up
on the same subject by DR.. David M.
Edwards, acting president OF Penn
college. The report was presented
by the secretary of the committee, Al
vim Hoskins of Greenville, with ap-
propriate remarks upon the expense
of war and the maintenance OF arma-
ments. The recommendations which
were urged upon the Yearly Meeting
were the putting into the hands OF
the public school teachers literature
upon the subject of peace.
Dr. Edwards gave splendid and
most inspiring address. He first
gave his reasons for being opposed
to war, which were altogether log
ical and convincing, and closed by re-
viewing the hopeful progress which
has been made by the nations OF the
earth towards the ends of universal
peace.
Robt. Simpkins spoke briefly of the
needs of peace for the future success
of the missionary work in China and
of the especial needs of bringing in
huence of this kind to bear upon that
restless nation. He also reviewed
some of the things now being done
in China looking towards the accom-
plishment of that purpose.
The appointments of officers of the
Peace committee for the coming year
were made according to the nomina-
lions as follows:
Chairman-Alvin Hoskins.
Secretary-Ernest L. Gregory.
Treasurer-Leona Doan.
The reports of the book and tract
and committee on Indian
Affairs were read and approved and
Tatum was appointed men,

dian Affairs to succeed Chas. White,
who has removed from the Yearly
Meeting.
