But who is to pay for all this? Oh
Bosh! Don't talk about the cost In a
county like this. Go down to Pow
eshiek, where they have far less people
and two county fairs nine miles apart.
Years ago Malcolm, with 1000 people
or So owned the fair. She slept on
the lob. Grinnell bought control OF
the stock and moved the fair. In those
days Grinnell had about 5000 people.
Malcolm woke up and built another
fair For many years now they nave
held two fairs each year nine miles
apart. Who paid for them? The peo-
pie, Of course. Marshall county has
1900 quarter section farms and Mar
shalltown has 500 merchants and pro-
fessional men in active business. What
is the use letting up until the owner
Of every quarter section and every
business man has So or S1O invested

were brought to realize the necessity
Of this adjunct to the institution. TO
be true the elevator was needed years
ago, and it required a calamity to bring
the need of the Improvement before
the public, but now it is in, and should
the hospital ever again be called upon
to meet an emergency such as the ter
rible catastrophe of March II last, the
nurses and attendants will be saved
much of the hard work that fell to
their lot on that occasion.
Another much needed public i'm

But the Marshall county fair has
now passed thru it's period of novelty.
The crowds that have attended could
not have been kept away in the first
place, but the future of the fair now
depends upon management The men
who have been running it these few
years have built up magnificent eX-
hibits, but what will be done with them
in the future? 1t all depends upon the
attendance and the attendance will be
determined largely by the fair. 1t is like
the old, old problem of newspaper

The health authorities Of the city OF
Dubuque have taken action on public
drinking fountains that should be fol-
lowed by every other city. not only in
Iowa, but everywhere. In Dubuque the
public drinking cup has been dispensed
with. In Marshalltown 1t should be-,
and at once. The local health authori-
ties realize the danger from public
drinking cups, and the subject has
been discussed many times. Only a
few days ago the city physician re-
ported to the board of health that he
saw man suffering with terrible
cancer on the lip, drinking out of the
cup at the Main street fountain. 1t is
this same cup that children use a
minute later perhaps In Dubuque the
bubbler fountain has been adopted.
The water is sent out in small stream
to such height that ones lips touch
nothing but the water. The bubbler
fountain Is sanitary: the public drink
ing cup is hardly short Of criminal.

Rolled Oats in Calf Feeding.

An experiment lasting IL weeks was
made at the North Carolina station to
compare cooked rolled oats with skim
milk as feed for calves. Nine calves
fed the rolled oats made an average
daily gain per head of LIB pounds.
whereas two valves fed the skim milk
made an average daily gain per head
of l.2l pounds. On the basis that
one pound of rolled oats Is equal to
one gallon of whole milk. and that
whole milk is worth eight cents per
quart to milkmen. the cost of the milk
for a l3-weeks-old calf receiving no
rolled oats is 1856. When rolled
oats (which cost A cents per pound
delivered in barrel lots) are substi-
tuted for milk. as shown above. the
cost of the calf feed for the same
period is only sl2.i6. saving of
$3.50 in favor of the rolled oats.

BROWN-TAL MOTH WAR d
ON AGAIN In NEW ENGLAND
Injurious Insect Rnvasns In Massaehusetts New Hnno
and MaiAe-Adjacent States


New England is again at war. Her
historic hills are ringing with the
sounds OF combat, and her verdant
valleys are volleying defiance to u
common enemy. The brown tail moth
is the invader that the farmers and
scientific men of New England are
battling. and although the state of
Massachusetts alone has spent more
than $7,OO0.OO0 in the war against
him and his terrible brother, the
Gypsy moth, the human forces have
thus far met nothing but defeat. Like
the Gypsy, the brown tail moth works
his havoc in the caterpillar state. Each
mother moth lays about 800 eggs. and
each caterpillar converts several hun
dred leaves into skeletons in the
course of a season.
At first the scientists thought the
caterpillar were partial to pear leaves,
but they soon discovered that while
the vermin always asked for n SECOND
or third helping of Bartlett buds or
leaves, they would also pass up their
plate for more when on peach. cherry.
oak. maple. elm or any other old tree
except the evergreens. Aha" cried
the dcep.thinking scientists when they
made this discovery. the brown tail
moth ceterpillars will not harm the
conifers! That at least is n victory"
But the owner of an orchard that is
being rapidly skinned by the industri-
GUS caterpil!ars may be pardoned If
he does not jubilate over that fact.

that the Desky hrutes will not eat
pine cones. but how about the or

Just at present the brown tail moth
is pretty well spread over Massachus-
etts. New Hampshire and Connecticut.

where and when the scourge was i'm
ported is not definitely known. II is
believed. however. that 1t was first
brought from Holland or France on
some rose bushes to Somerville. Mass.
in 1890
When one considers the remarkable
industry the caterpillar displays. its
Dutch descent seems probable. 1t
was not recognized. however. by the
scientific sharps until 1897. when the
residents OF Someryille and Cam
bridge found the strange caterpillar
feeding upon their pear trees. The

was established. 1t had been known
for 200 years all over Europe. where
1t had operated from the Mediterran-
can to Sweden.
By the close of 1905 the brown tail
had spread pretty well over New Eng.

White mountains. and was still
spreading. Mrs. Brown Tail is n trav.

Cowpas for hay.

Growing cowpeas for hay has gen.
orally been found to be satisfactory.
but the main objection TO the crop
for this purpose is that the stems Of
the plants are very sappy and difficult
to cure. A week of good weather is
required TO cure cowpea hay. and II
rains and damp weather come while
the hay is down much damage results
II the crop is stored before 1t is well
cured the hay is very likely to mold

Mrs. Brown Tail has them, and uses
them very well. She is n dissipated
young thing, too, for she always flies
by night, and often telegraph poles
and the sides of houses will be liter
ally whitened in the; latter part OF
July. The time of flight is from the

their first skin. Later in the season
