THIS AND THAT ABOUT cows,
Various Points Which the Successful
Dairyman Must Keep in Mind.

In nearly all cases the farmer who
has good sized herd of cows and no
separator can we'll afford to sell his
poorest COW and buy a separator. 1t
will save him money in the end.
A Jersey COW will make more butter
pound for pound of feed consumed
above what is taken by the necessi-
ties of the animal than any other
breed because for generations she has
been bred especially for butter pro-
duction.
1t is the COW in good flesh that does
her best in the milk line. When she is
thin and hungry all the time she will
surely put the biggest part of what is
given her on her back. This means
loss in the pail and in the butter.
The advantage of dairy education
to any person contemplating engaging
In this business cannot well be over
estimated, declares the Farmers Mail
and Breeze. Much practical education
can be gained in "a short time In a
dairy school that could scarcely be Sc
cured by years of experience without
instruction.
1t is only In exceptional cases that,
with the exception of mill feeds, the
average farmer can afford to purchase
any considerable amount of feed. 1t is
selling the feed raised at good price
by feeding to good dairy cows and SELL
ing the product that makes dairying
most profitable.
The experiment of churning each
cows milk in a separate churn has
shown that cows which give only a
small quantity of milk often produce a
larger proportion of butter than the
copious mixer. The actual quantity OF
milk yielded by COW is not always
sure criterion of her value as but
ter-maker
The production of milk and butter
fat by dairy cows under normal con-
ditions increases with each year up
to the fifth or sixth year.. when the
COW is at her best. The length OF
time she will maintain her maximum
production depends on her constitu-
tional strength and the care with
which she is fed and handled.

LESS MEAT
Advice Of Family Physician.

Formerly people thought meat nee
essary for strength and muscular
vigor.
The man who worked hard was sup
posed to require meat two or three
times day. Science has found out
differently.
1t is now a common thing for fam
lily physician to order less meat, as In
the following letter from N. Y. man.
Il had suffered for years with dys-
pepsia and nervousness. Ny physician
advised me to eat less meat and
greasy foods generally. tried several
things to take the place of my usual
breakfast of chops, fried potatoes, etc.,
but got no relief until / tried Grape
Nuts food.
AFTER using Grape-Nuts for the
cereal part of my meals for two years,
l am now a well man. Grape-Nuts
benefited my health far more than the
$4,000 worth Of medicine ! had taken
before.
MY wife and children are healthier
than they had been for years, and we
are very happy family. largely due to
Grape-Nuts.
I'VE have been SO much benefited
by Grape-Nuts that it would be un-
grateful not to acknowledge it."

The boarding of the brig was man
aged automatically by the mate. The
boat was pulled into the dark shadow
of the vessel and he and the cook
climbed on deck. There were only
two men on the brig, the others of the
crew would be put aboard at day
break. One of the men aboard was
sleepily keeping anchor watch and
him the mate sent into the forecastle
on some pretext. Quickly the skipper
was brought on board and as the cook
in the meantime had taken variety
of tins and dishes out of the locker
Capt. Buzbey stretched himself out in
the confined quarters to the marked
discomposure of divers cockroaches
and one rat which fed madly along
the deck and plunged into the forecas-

The remainder of the crew came on
board just as the east was cleaning
with promise of the sun, but before
anchor was ordered mp the mate whis.

He came back shortly with an odd
expression on his face and with retf

body had not been found and there
was no Immediate danger. Anchor

SLIGHTLY Mixed.

Little Oliver, six years old, had
learned the song in which is oft re-
peated the refrain: GLORY, glory, hal
lelujah." and for some time he had
been singing it with great enthusiasm
and vigor. Finally he became silent,
and after brief period of cogitation
he said:
Mamma, what does 'hallelujah'
mean?"
AS simply as she could his mother
explained that it was religious ex-
clamation meaning praise the Lord
He seemed rather surprised at the
information, but his next question Of
fered ample explanation of why he
had thrown so much vigor into his
singing. IF that's what it MEANS" he
said. why do they throw corn and
have jack lanterns on hallelujah
night?

Closing Out Sale.

Attention is called to the large clos
ing out sale of the grocery stock of
Harry j. Vogt & Co.. who offer their
entire stock of groceries and queenware
at greatly reduced trices, it being
their intention to close out the stock
within the next month. Not only is the
stock offered but also the fixtures of the
store, and the buying public will have
an opportunity to buy groceries at IN
heard of prices while their big stock is
being closed out. 1t is rare op-
portunity to secure groceries at re-
duced prices and as the stock is one of
the best in southern Iowa, it will
probably not take long to dispose of it.
Mr.. Vogt mas several good propositions
in sight, but has not as yet definitely
decided on his future business, but we
hope that he may remain citizen of
Leon for he has been one of Icons
most progressive businessmen and
citizens.

Over at Shenandoah they have a
mayor who is creating genuine terror
among the DRINKS and disorderly char
acters. Last week when fellow who
was brought before him on a charge of
being drunk and disturbing the peace,
he promptly assessed fine of 800 and
ordered that he be put to hard labor
for thirty days in default of payment of
the fine. There is some sense to that
kind of work. Here in Leon the official
report of the mayor for the year ending
April LIST shows that the total of all
fines collected by the mayor was only
$67.5O. Why not adopt the Shenandoah
plan and If person is arrested and
fined and will not or cannot pay his
fine, why not put him at work on the
streets and compel him to work it out.
There surely is plenty Of work to
do on the streets, and IL nothing else
will afford work why not have some of
the crossings few blocks out from the
business district cleaned?

Sanders-Sales.

Mr.. Ross Sanders and Mrs. Dora
Sales, both of this city, were quietly
married at the home of the brides
sister, Mrs. John Staley, in Osceola,
last Saturday, the ceremony being per-
formed by Elder Pennock, pastor of the
Osceola Christian church.
The contracting parties are both too
we'll known in this city to need any ex-
tensive write-up. Mr.. Sanders has
been for many years one of the leading
painters and decorators in southern
Iowa, and he has won for his bride one
of the most estimable ladies in Decatur
county. They returned from Osceola
Monday, and will go to housekeeping in
this city at once, their many friends
extending congratulations galore.

A few months ago the city council
passed an ordinance requiring all owners
of dogs in the city of Leon to secure a
tag from the city clerk. To date city clerk
Mitchell has issued just an even fifty
dog checks. Does anyone for moment
think there are only fifty dogs in the
city of Leon? Why is not the ordinance
enforced? 1t is an injustice to compel
the citizens who are willing to abide
by the law to pay city tax for the
privilege of owning dog and allow
other citizens to openly violate the law
by keeping dog and refusing to pay
the city tax. Why this discrimination?
Why not treat all alike. If the ordi-
nance is not going to be enforced the
city council should vote to refund the
money paid in for dog checks to those
who have stepped up and paid their
dog tax.
