Weather and Crop Bull tin
For the week ending June
19, 1910, Des MONIES Iowa.
The weather during the past
week was ideal for the growth
and cultivation of corn The
temperature was about 5 de-
grees above the normal and
there was a total absence of
rainfall over the larger part of
the state, there was a decided
excess of sunshine. Under
those favorable conditions the
entire week was devoted to
work in the cornfields, which
are now generally clean. The
stand of corn has been improved
by replanting and the crop as a
whole, is improving rapidly.
Rain is however needed, especi-
ally over the eastern and ex-
treme western counties where
the showers We're light during
the previous week. All small
grains have made good progress
and are heading nicely. Oats
especially, are in exception'y
good condition, and give prom
ise Of a large yield although
the straw is short. Prepare.
tions are being made to begin
the harvest Of the light hay
crop, at an early date. Pota-
toes are holding their own and
the early ones are now ready
for the market.

Foundation of
Successful Dairying

BY DIR. David Roberts, Wis
consin State Veterinarian,
1906 rs. Perhaps the first iln-
portant factor 10 consider in
dairying is the stable where
the cattle are to be housed.
Economy should FIRST be consid
cred. nevertheless this should
not deprive the owner from es-
tablishing the proper cpndi-
tions for the bettermant of the
herd to he housed therein,
keeping in mind the necessity
of plenty of Sunlight, proper
ventilation, cement floors,
proper drainage, comfortable
ties, etc.
AS to the breed of cattle, This
can best be determined by the
contemplating purchaser, which
fac he alone can determine
from the STANDPOINT Of duantitv
or quality of milk required 10y
his market. some dairy breeds
giving, large quantities of milk
with little hutter fat. while
others give less qualities of
milk with more butter fat, but
regardless of this point in view
he should first ansider the ami
NAL from tho standpoint of
health, ascef9 ming as to
whether or not il is free from
tuberculosis etc and under no
condition should the anima! be
introduced that is not i'm a per-
fectly healthy condition.
A very important part of
dairying is to make it profit
able all the year around. In
order to be successful you must
initiate in winter what nature
provides in summer, such as
permitting plenty of sunlight
to enter ther stables, as SUN
light destroyes gerTns; warm
quarters with plenty Of fresh
air, clean water with the chill
taken from it, succu!ent feed,
such as ensilage, clover or alf-
alfa hay, and a reasonable
amount of other grains that
any farmer can raise on his
farm.
In selecting and buying cat
tie, select the most healthy

Northwestern Wheat

There seems to be no end of
wheat in the northwest. It is
officially claimed that North
Dakota will produce 12l,00O,
600 bushels this year, which is
so per cent larger than her out
put OF that last season. 1t is
also said to be the first time
that any state has raised more
than 1C0,OOO,O0O bushels of
wheat.
When this yield is added to
that of South Dakota, Mime.

Bovine tuberculosis.

Bovine tuberculosis is costing
thr United States millions of
dollars yearly, not through the
actual death of tubercular ami
mails but by the tubercular ami
malsinfecting the healthy ones.
thereby reducing their actual
value.
If all of the tubercular cattle
in the United States were sla-
ughtered at once, the balance
of the cattle would be worth
more than the tuberuular and
healthy animals together.
It's every mans duty. in
justice to himself, to determine
positively that his herd is free
from tuberculosis. Wiping
tuberculosis out of the cattle of
this county is too large a prob.
lem for handful of people to
undertake and for this reason
| contend that we will never
wipe tuberculosis out of the
cattle of our country until the
live stock owners are given the
proper information, both con-
cerning the nature of bovine
tuberculosis and the tuberculin
test. Whe- Nlis information
reaches 'he h." stock owners, I
am sure nat he will be more
anxious to wio> tuberculosis
nut of his herd than any one
else, owing to the fact that he
is financially interested and he
and his family first of all are
consumers of the products of
his cattle.
Supposing those who do not
believe that there is such "a
hing as bovine tuberculosis or
reliable tuberculin test apply
his simple, harmless test t.
thejr herd and il: they find that.
shere are animals in their herd
that have reacted to the test.
Indicating that they are free
from tuberculosis placed in
mother stable, keening fcl'
heir own use t,>n product or
the ones that hav.l rnacsed an,'
pronounced tubercular, and put
ting upon the market the pro-
duets If those that have ac.
cordlng to this test passed ami

What A Change

For many years we lived in
Audubon county on the north
of Cass, and then lived in At
lantic, the county seat of that
county, and was personally ac-
quainted with large part of
the people of that county, but
now, after an absence of some
81 years, on looking over the
list of names of delegates from
that county to the Republican
convention, we can find but
few names that we can remem-
ber. The population has
changed, many of the old
having either passed over the
dark river, or moved to other
par.s. and the younger genera
tion is not remembered by us.
A few years more, and Cass
county, Iowa, will have become
a strange land to us, and those
with whom we once loved to as
sociate, are not there. Change
has come to mark out the old
tracks, and to introduce a new
generation that knows not

ever, forgotten that Cass coun-
tv is one of the best counties in.

Moving the Panama Earth
Springfield Republican
When the United States took
over the work of building the
Panama canal it was estimated
by the engineers that lO3,795,-
600 cubic yards would have to
be- excavaLed. The excavation
record shows that this figure
was passed about a week ago,
there being some 100000
cubic yards still to be removed
The additional digging is due
to the enlargement of the di.
mensions of the canal prism,
made by the American engir
eers after the work was begun,
to accommodate ships of in
creased tonnage.

robustness had passed away. II was
then some hours after the accident
that any witnesses to the rescue OF a
woman saw the humOr in the act. She
had been struggling with others in the
water for some time, when 2 rope was
cast to her, and. graSping it with both
hands. she started toward safety.
Her fingers were literally agleam
with diamonds, and this was one Of the
most noticeable features about the
woman. During her ascent, a man.
who was also struggling in the water,
grasped her skirts and chung to them,
hoping to be drawn from the water.
The weight on the outer skirt pulled
1t loose from the belt, and the woman
reached the floor minus a skirt. Not
withstanding that she was in the pres
ence of men, her first thought was not
about her appearance, but for the
safety Of her diamonds, which were
found to be intact.
