the time he was hauled into court
and was able to tell a pretty good
story regarding the Indian booze

to get liquor of any kind in town, and
that three bottles of lemon extract

has been operated by the agricultural
department of the Rock Island lines.
In cooperation with the Iowa Agricul-
tural college. for the purpose OF en-
couraging increasing attention to the
development OF hog raising In that
state has aroused much enthusiasm
among hog raisers The route Of the
train will extend into Missouri Kan
sas, Nebraska, and Minnesota.
The special train OF seven cars pro-
vided by tho railroad for the use of
the experts OF the college has been
out only short time. but during that
time more than 10000 person have
listened to lectures on every phase OF
hog culture and the use Of hog pro-
ducts.
Banks, business houses. and schools
In many localities have been closed
during the visits Of the train and the
officials Of the road say the results
promise even better returns than
those from the better seed wheat
special recently run through Okla

The states to be covered are arrang-
ing schedules to cover as many towns
as possible and the interest displayed
in Iowa has prompted every interest
to cooperate.

AMERICAN FRUIT IN ENGLAND.

An experimental shipment Of apples
to Southampton from the Wenatchee
section Of the State Of Washington,
made in 1908, proved so successful
both in a financial way, and greater
still in the more substantial lines Of a
good reputation, that 1909 the same
dealer made another shipment. this
orc amounting to 10000 cases. The
fruit was neatly packed and went on
the market in flrst-class condition. It
Is matter Of financial record that
this wenatchee fruit sold at the high
est price above any American apple
ever offered in the open English mar
ket, and much Of the shipment, which
was attended to by the shipper, was
sold to the retail market at 10 IL
cents per pound, and eagerly taken at
that price by the best trade.
It is gratifying to note that the or
ders now made will more than exhaust
a shipment Of the same size during
the crop year 1910. OF course II
should be stated that the quality Of
this Wenatchee fruit WIS first-class,
true to name In every case and no sec

pended on the method Of packing, and
In that 1t was found superior in every
way. Therein lies the way to success

LET THE BOYS RAISE THE
CAPONS.

Instead Of allowing the cockerels
on the place to grow into cid roosters
before being sold they should be cap
onized and their value fairly doubled
by this method. 1t Is very little
trouble TO caponize a bird and with
little practice q bright boy will oper-
ate upon so to IS birds in single
day.
s II capons are sold when weighing
from i've to six pounds they will bring
In any good market from 20 to 20
cents per pound. Indeed, it Is a poor
capon that will not bring round
dollar to the producer while rooster
weighing seven or eight pounds will
bring no more.
The best prices that old ROSTERS
bring are around . cents and to get
this they must be fattened about
twice al long as II requires to bring
. capon to fine market condition.
It is not much Of q trick to bring
capons to ten pounds at which
weight they will sell at from $3.50 to
800 each. But, 1t Is q question
whether It IL advisable to feed them
long enough to bring them to this
weight. Most capon raisers find 1t
more profitable to sell their birds
from fve to seven pounds and bird
that Is really fat and plump at that
wAi<ht II an highly priced delicacy.

Rabies is one OF the oldest diseases
known. In the fourth century 3. z.
1t was described by Aristotle. who
wrote: Dogs suffer from q madness
which puts them in a state Of fury,
and all the animals that they bite
when In this condition become also
attacked by rabies"
The season Of the year makes very
little difference. as the disease Is just
as prevalent in winter as 1t Is in sum-
mer. This seems contrary to the
ideas OF many persons. who think
that July and August dog days"
the only time that dogs are subject
to rabies. The explanation ID that
more people are moving about dur
Ing the summer months ana become
subject to attack.
Rabies is caused in nearly all cases
by the bite Of rabid animal. II IL
possible to contract the disease from
the saliva. the tears from the eyes or
the milk Of rabid animal. The rab-
Id dog Is q source Of danger q few
days before the symptoms OF the dis
ease appear. but in no case before he
was bitten by a rabid animal. or
otherwise inoculated. Hot weather,
lGck Of water or Ill treatment will
never tn themselves produce rabies.
The dog is the principal source by
which babies is spread over the
country. The freedom which he is
given, his natural manner of self-pro-
lection. and his tendency to roam
about bring him in contact with many
other animals. Cats, hogs horses and
cattle. in the order named, are less
dangerous than the dog. Mad dogs
are not always wild eyed and frothing
at the mouth and determined upon
attacking every person they meet.

DOPE FOR DAIRY COWS

The mixing OF prepared dairy feeds
is becoming about like the mixing OF
commercial fertilizers-simply the
amount OF protein and CARBOHYDRATES
required by the analysis, with any old
kind Of material used for filters. Il IS
time that we had laws compelling the
manufacturers Of these prepared dopes
to explain just how much OF each kind
OF grain entered into the mixture.
There Is something radically wrong
when large milling company will pay
SIS ton for oat hulls and $40 ton
for the dust that comes of oats to use
!; preparing feed mixture that far
mers are paying thirty dollars ton
for. Where live can see every day
tons Of oat hulls and dust being haul
ed to factory where car loads OF
these mixed feeds are being prepared.
Is 1t any wonder that we have sick
animals and that new diseases are
constantly cropping out when we feed
these poison dopes?-M. w. Kelley. 4

NOTES OF THE HOG LOT.

It Is a waste of fertility to allow
the pigs to run in one yard or on one
held for years at a time without
changing them.
Corn and water are the best fat
tening foods although feed OF roots
Dnce OF twice a. week will give them
, keensr appetite and keep their
bowels In excellent condition.
After the pigs have been put into
the fattening pen in the fall they
should be fed all that they will eat
with relish for as rule the shorter
the fattening period the larger the
profits.

NATURES BEST
FERTILE Err
Nothing Equals Common Barnyard
Manure When Properly
Applied.
BY w. @. Palmer.

Tho Investigators since the grow
ing Of crops began have searched for
fertilizers-for things that would make
plants grow. Yet they have found
nothing that equals common manure.
This IL natures fertilizer. Plants. re-
spond to 1t In the tropics and as far
north as they grow. BY using It In
telligently the fertile soils Of North
Dakota or Of Florida or Texas can be
made to bring forth crops that will
yield almost. yes twice. what could b

Much II now known about how to
handle this valuable product Il
should be taken right from the barn
to tho held. In some cases when It
contains q good deal Of weed seed Il
may be advisable to let 1t Law In a
heap for awhile. 1t has been found
that the best place to apply It Is on
pasture, grass land and on corn land.
Whom applied to a grain crop II some.
times causes too big a growth Of
straw. This come from the fact that
the element in manure that causes
straw growth IL available at once
while the elements that NIL the kenne 81
and add stiffness 70 the straw are
made available slowly, 30 that the
manure does not furnish grain crops
balanced food. It can be applied
though. II It is put on thin enough.
Corn makes It's growth during tho
warm part Of the SUNNI or when all
the elements Of food in the manure
and made available. In the case, Of
the clover or grasses 1t 10 the stalk,
that are wanted 30 this kind OF
growth is an advantage IL anything.
When applied on corn and grass land
the weed seed has little chance to do
any harm. Then when the grain crop
follows the corn or grass or clover
that has been manfred It gets bal
anced food. and well filled heads is
the result
It has also been found that it il
best not to apply over ten tons per
acre, and tho even scattering Of It is
very important.

there Is more danger In the use Of

anything else. and picking Of meats
on the farm is such simple matter
that every man WHO kills his own pigs
should in addition to hams ana bacon
put down barrel Of meat picked.
Properly cared for It 10 delicious at
certain seasons Of the year. On the

method was always used. No better
meats were ever put on the farmers

meat take two pounds Of sugar and

the sugar and salt mixture in three

meat and pack In barrel. It should
then be allowed to lie three or four
days when It should be rubbed with
another portion Of the mixture and
three or four days later repeat the
operation with the remainder. II
