Verify Charge as to
Union Switchman

Rock Island, March 29.-Editor The
Argus: We wish to state that the arti-
Gle which appeared in last nights is
sue of the Daily Times was true in
every particular. We refer to the arti-
Gle relating to the laying off of union
switchman from the police force. If
they want to know his name, 1t is Viii
liam Colt. We can also tell the name
of the non-union switchman who was
retained while Colt lost his place.
We feel now as then, that the re-
moval of Mr.. Colt was a discrimination
against our union. Nothing done now
can alter that Sincerely,

A LIMITED PARCELS POST.

The demand on the part of the peo-
pie of the country for what is known
as limited parcels post Is increasing,
and there seems to be little question
that In the near future congress will
pass such legislation as will put it
into operation. These systems Of pack
age delivery by mail heve been in
vogue In some European countries for
more than a hundred years. hence are
not socialistic. utOpian or untried. In
practical operation they have proved
emtnently successful and above every
thing satisfactory and great con-
yenience to people living in country
districts. The postmaster general has
recommended limited parcels post
which would make low rates for the
distribution of parcels from towns and
cities over local rural routes. 1t is
eOntended. and the point is well taken,
that the average rural carrier handles
hess than forty pounds Of mail matter
daily when even with his sight wagon
he could easily take care of several
Zines this amount. not only increasing
greatly the revenues of the p0stotfice
de partment, but ministering largely to
tho needs and convenience of the pa
trons along his route. The opponents
of parcels posts in any form seem to
be the country merchants. who fear
still further inroads into their terri
tory by the catalogue houses and the
express companies. which are annually
extracting millions of dollars from the
shippers of the country in the shape of
discriminatory and eXorbitant rates.
Inasmuch. however. as some country
merchants are buying catalogue house
stuff and putting it on their own
shelves. the position which they take
in the matter is hardly consistent. The
live merchant does not greatly fear
catalogue house competition. and the
dead or moibund merchant who is al
ready hanging on the ragged edge will
drop out sooner or later anyway. This
matter of horne trading is good deal
of fiction. and with no class is it n
bigger joke than with merchants in
their relation enc to another. AS the
postal laws are now, with agreements
at present in force with foreign coun-
tries, one can send package to a rela-
tive in Europe as cheaply as he can to
q friend in the next state or county.
The inequality is manifest and one
that bids fair to be righted

Care of Youna Pics.

The pigs should be separated from
the sows and older hogs. since they
will not get their share of the feed II
all are allowed to run together after
the pigs are wenned. writes an Ohio
farmer In the American Agriculturist.
| feed ground corn. tankage. mill feed.
and when they cannot get out on the
grass | put finely cut clover or alfalfa
In their feed. In the cold weather |
like to give them warm slop every
morning, For this purpose nothing IL
better than feed cooker or boiler
to heat the water. While some authori-
ties say that It does not pay to cook
feed. think any reasonable man can
see that warm slop will help young
hogs especially. And they will do
much better than on cold STOP or dry
feed. One reason for this Is. ! think.
that hogs of any age do not drink
enough water during cold weather,
Where the slop IL warmed up the hogs
are glad to use more nearly the proper
amount of water which Is necessary to
produce the most economical gains.
Where warm stop has been fed in
the morning ear corn will be all right
for the evening feed.

The four essentials to healthful dairy

dow glass is almost as cheap as lum-
Der. The King system of ventilation
can be installed by any carpenter or
by the farmer himself at the cost of
a few feet of lumber and a few days

more expensive than good wood
floor and is many times more durable.
Planks laid over the cement where
the COWS stand will prevent injury to
the animals. a comfortable tie is only
little more expensive than an awk-
ward rigid stanchion. A good swing
stanchion is not uncomfortable to the

GOOD QUALITIES

Herpfords stand alone In their abil-

than other cattle Being the most
docile of the bovine species. they lake
on flesh more readily and give better
results in feed lots or pastures than
the representatives of any other breed,

Gazette. Being uniform in color. they
make market stock that catches the
eye of the yard buyer. Depositing
their flesh on those parts of the skele-
ton from which the highest priced
meats are cut. the back and l0in, they
are specially popular with butchers
and killers.

means resistance to the common dis

possible.
Most strains of breeding produce as
good mixers as are found in any Of
the beef breeds. There are no milk

Roots For Swine.

Roots have been fed to hogs expert
mentally by different experiment sta.
tons, notably by the Utah, Ohio and
Indiana stations, and also by the CEN
trail experiment farm of Canada. In
most of these experiments there was
quite Il percentage gained by the feed
ing of roots. In compiling some of the
feeding trials Professor Henry shows
that 615 pounds of roots would save
100 pounds of grain. 1t must be kept
in mind that roots should not be fed in
any very large way, for the reason
that they produce a watery carcass. l
should say that the feeding of one or
two ordinary rutabagas or one large
mangold day would be plenty of this
kind of food. The hog naturally de.
mands a concentrated diet, and. of
course, roots are just the opposite of
being concentrates.-C. S. Plumb.

Ration With Malt Sprouts.

Henry in his book, Feeds and Feed
ing" says that because they will alb
sorb SO much water malt sprouts
should be soaked some hours before
feeding. If fed in connection with
silage this may not be ABSOLUTELY nee
essary. A trial for Il few days would
determine the point
1t would make Il better ration to add
ground corn or barley to the sprouts
and bran. TO three pounds of the dry
sprouts add four pounds of ground
corn and three pounds of bran and
feed one pound for each three and one
half pounds Of milk produced. In ad-
dition, give each COW thirty to thirty
five pounds of silage daily and all the

many regions an increase in the use Of
meadow fescue would have a very
beneficial effect on the pastures.
The ability of meadow fescue to sur
vive in wet places when trampled by
stock keeps such places productive in
pastures where timothy, red clover
and Kentucky blue grass fail, and, be-
sides being strongly perennial, meadow
fescue has the additional advantage Of
coming quickly and surely from Seed
producing in short time firm sod
and considerable pasturage
In the east meadow fescue has
shown itself to be almost as well
adapted as orchard grass to the clay
soils. and, though not quite as pro-
ductive, it is rather more palatable
than the latter. AS the value of tame
pastures over native pastures is better
realized and as the English idea of
mixtures is more firmly established
with the American farmer meadow
fescue will take more important
place at least us a pasture grass.
The soil best adapted to the produc-
ton of meadow fescue is heavy
black loan. This grass has been noted
growing In the most decided "gumbo"
spots. and in these places when mois-
ture was sufficient no amount of tram
pling seemed to destroy it, 1t is not
adapted to light sandy soil. and the
best yield of hay and seed is always
secured from heavy soils rich in or
ganic matter.
Farmers interested in this pasture
plant can obtain further information
from their state experiment stations
or departments of agriculture or from
the agricultural department at Wash
ington.

Increase In Use of Plant Good For
Pastures In Many Regions.
For several gears past meadow fes-
cue has been an important crop III
northeastern Kansas, according to the
United States department of agricul-
ture. The acreage devoted to this
grass has. however. been extremely
variable The tluctuating tendency Is
due chiefly to changes IN the price or
seed. The meadow fescue seed crop
has in some years reached total val
uation of over $150,OO0 in very limit
ed section of the state. The demand
for meadow fescue seed is quite limit
ed; hence an undue expansion in pro-
duction has caused In several years a
decided fall in price. The merits OF the
grass are such. however, that 1t is be-
lieved that a better knowledge of its
ployed much more extensively, espe-
cially for permanent pastures through
out the timo,hy region.
Meadow fes.ue is also locally known
as English blle grass notwithStand-
ing the fact that in England it Is called
meadow fescUe. The name English
blue grass should be discarded for the
established name meadow fescue. as
the use of both leads to confusion.
Meadow fescue sown alone furnishes
scant pasturage during the hot sum-
mer months. and its lack of root stocks
prevents It's taking first rank as Il pas
ture grass in any region where Ken
lucky blue grass does well. Its value
at present is ;ully appreciated only in
the eastern parts of Nebraska and
Kansas. 1t is quite probable that in
