County Medical Society.

At the annual meeting of the Angus
ia County Medical Society held on Au-
gust, the 18th, 1909, the society voted
one hundred dollars to be used for pur-
chasing medical books for the Library
which was established few months
ago. These books together with the
current medical literature will be kept
in the library room in the county build
ing and all the physicians of the coun-
ty will have free access to them for re-
ference. The society in establishing
the Medical Library and Post Graduate

for the advancement of medical science
among the physicians of this county,
and leads all other county societies of
this state. 1t is hoped later to estab-
lish laboratory fitted with proper
equipment for the doctors to make such
examinations as they may desire. This

High Grade of Meat Animals.

1t has been clearly demonstrated by
experience that it pays the farmer te
raise high grade of cattle, sheep and
hogs. The farmer who is using scrut
males, whether of cattle, hogs OF
sheep, cannot expect to produce the
best grade of meat. no matter how in
diligently he may feed. He has be
gun wrong.
Let him be particular about the in
dividual merit of the animal. See that
he has good bone, a strong constitu-
ton and even lines. Be sure that he
is strong in the back or loin, short of
neck and masculine in the head. Look
out for blockiness of form and short
ness of leg. Inquire Of the owner how
the animal has been cared for, and
seek to duplicate the care when he
is transferred to his new home.

CELERY FOR HOME AND MARK
Light, Fertile, Humus-Laden,
Moist Soil.

Although requiring rather peculiar
climatic and soil conditions, yet eel
cry can be grown both for home use
and market over wider area than
most people think. Almost everybody
is fond of celery, and it is healthful
vegetable food With little study
and experience in growing it, celery
might be on the table of ten times
the number of homes that it now is,
and it might be grown for market by
twice the number of gardeners that
already grow it.
Celery loves a cool climate, and a
light, fertile, humus-laden, moist soil.
The ideal climatic conditions for the
production Of celery are bright sun
shine, pure air, cool nights and a
well distributed rainfall of about
eight inches during the growing pc
Rod in the field or garden.
In the production of celery for do
nestle use, rich, mellow, sandy loan
will give the best results. The soil
of the seed bed should contain plenty
Of leaf mold and should be passed
through sieve having not less than
six meshes to the inch. The soil
of the transplanting bed need not be
sifted so fine, and some well rotted
barnyard manure should replace a
part of the leaf mold; in other re-
spscts it should be the same as the
seed bed.
Any fertile, well drained soil will
grow celery, but rich, loose, sandy
loan is preferable. The soil cannot
well be made too rich, and the pres
ence of large amount of humus or
vegetable mold is an essential for
large and rapid growth. In the re-
gions where peat boys or muck soil
abound the crop may be more easily
produced on these than on any other
soils, but the keeping qualities are not
so good, and the favor is never equal
to that of celery grown on sandy
loan, or even on clay Soils If nothing
but clay soil is available, it may be
made to produce good celery by lib
eral application of well rotted ma
nure. On clay soils there is likely to
be injury caused by the soil becom-
ing washed into the hearts of the
plants while they are yet small.

VETS AND DRYS.
THE SITUATION OF THE CONTEST AS IT
NOW STANDS.

L I
NOW STANDS.
The corporation court room was
packed at 10 o'clock on Tuesday morn
ing to hear Judge Henry w. Holt de
liver his opinion on the demurrer te
the complaint of the Vets in the Local
option election contest. Judge Holt
read his opinion which consumed hall
an hour in the delivery.
There were 25 allegations in the com.
plant of the Vets. Judge holt sus
tanned the demurrer as to Is of these.
relating to alleged defects in calling
and holding the election and making
the returns thereon, as no claim was
made that these in any way effected
the result.
AS to one allegation of the West the
Judge oyerruled the demurrer. This al.
legation was to the effect that G. r.
Talley, an election judge in the First
Ward, marked ballots for certain
number of voters contrary to theil
wishes. The court held that this was
proper subject Of inquiry.
AS to the nine remaining allegations
the court ruled that the Vets might
amend. These allegations charged that
certain number of men voted illegal
ly. The court ruled this proper sub
ject for inquiry, but held that the Vets
must amend by showing in what the
illegality consisted, how the men vot-
ed, and how the result was affected
thereby.
The Vets were given until p. m.
to make their amendments, which
they did, and the case will now come
up on its merits and be heard probably
at the Septembe Der term.

Washington Letter.

The recall of Minister WI and the
designation of Chang Yin Tang to sue
coed him as minister to the United
States, was confirmed today in official
dispatches to the State Department
from Charge Fletcher at Pekin. The
State Department was sounded regard
ing the acceptability of Chang two
months ago and notified the imperial
government that there was no objec-
tions to this appointment. 1t is not
known how soon he will come to w ash
ington to take charge of the post vacat-
ed by WI. No specific reason can be
assumed for Minister Wu's recall.
DR.. Harvey w. Wiley has declared
that sugar and water added to grape

will revolutionize the wine industry of
this country.

MosbY's Men Getting Ready for
Their Reunion.

A reunion of the Forty-third Virgin
ia battalion, known in history at
"Mosby's Men" will be held in Front
Royal, Va, under the auspices of the
Warren Memorial Association Satur-
day, Aug. %. This date was chosen
because many of the veterans will thus
have an opportunity to take advantage
of the weekend rates.
For many years these rough riders
and hard fighters have held their an
nual reunions, and at the attendant
banquet lived again in story the days
when they rode and fought night and
day, terror to outposts and lines of
communication. Theirs it was to keep
the Federal forces stirred up in the rear
the most sensitive part of an army
and thereby distract attention from the
front, where Lee was operating. Their
daily duty was capturing supply trains
and harrassing pickets.
"The loss of his wagon train meant
to general" said one of Mosby's vet
Grams yesterday, 1.-THE loss of food, cloth
ing and ammunition-in short, all that
made his army effective. When you've
taken away his dinner and cartridges
from soldier, even veteran, he isn't
much good as fighter.
"Ours was dangerous work, the most
dangerous in the army, for the trains
were always heavily guarded, and we
always fought in the enemy's rear, of
course. But, though separated from
the main body of the Southern army
we always kept in close touch by cou-
riers and acted in concert with the
movements in the front. No one of us
ever went in disguise; we always wore
the Confederate gray"
Though growing old, many of the
old fighters are still left, and those liv-
ing in Virginia will visit Front Royal
in body and renew the days OF their
fightingtre.

Late Potatoes.

Potatoes planted after June 1 may
not mature before frost. Potatoes,
like other crops, need plant food. Pc
tato soils should be well supplied with
humus to increase their capacity for
retaining water. Drought is a Sc.
rious enemy to the crop. Humus is
best supplied by blowing under
clover. If stable manure is used it
should be applied year ahead of the
potato crop.
