HE sympathy OF
the public is usu-
ally bestowed up
on the weaker sex.
although Heaven
knows 1t is a mis-
take to suppose
that the weakness
of humanity is con-
fined to woman
alone. Certainly in
matters of love and
sacrifice she often
times proves her
self the stronger.

STILL HAVE MARKET
palladium specially

indianapolis. Feb. 16.-Just to keep
the farmers of the state from getting
too chesty. the house of representa-
tives Wednesday afternoon used the
axe on bill which would prevent cleo
margarine from competing with real
country butter. Besides making it un-
lawful to color oleo or butterine. the
bill required every package to be
plainly labeled. Representative F'itz-
err author of the bill, explained that
its purpose was to prevent the selling
of limitations for butter.
Somebody else needs protection in
this state besides the farmers" assert
ed Representative Faris. "Oleomarg-
crime is known as the poor mans but
ter and il you drive it off the market
by this kind of discrimination. his
bread won't be buttered on either
side
Representative Cravens said oleo is
used exclusively in the state institu-
tions and in order not to run any risk
of driving it out of Indiana he moved
that the enacting clause of the bill
be stricken out. A big majority vot-
ed for his motion and the oleo bill was
no more.

WITNESSES HAVE
SEVERE ORDEALS
Two to Four Hours on Stand
in S. N St. Case Com
mon Occurrence.

Witnesses in the South Side I'M
provement association-C. & .. or IN
diana railroad controversy, over the
opening of the South n street cross
ing, are getting their fill of witness
service, as an ordeal of from two to
four or five hours on the stand is
common occurrence in this case. The
necessity for complete review OF all
phases of the case impels the Cruel
ing tests being imposed upon the wit
nesses.
Trial started at $50 o'clock on
Thursday with the defense beginning
it's cross examination of Cash Beall. a
we'll known merchant and one OF the
most active members of the associa-
ton. On Wednesday afternoon ne
had been on the stand for about two
hours, in this instance being subject
ed TO direct examination. The only
other witness of the afternoon was
Matthew Won Pien, a city councilman.
and former secretary of the improve
ment association.
The principal evidence given by the
witnesses of the association SO far has
been to prove just what the associa-
ton has done in the upbuilding of
Richmond and in Beallview addition
particularly. This work dates back to
the inception of the organization
about seven years ago. All witnesses
have shown the number of new fac
tories which have been located in the
south part of the city, and how other
wise the streets have been improved.
and the southern section of the city
built up with new residences. The
sale of lots in Beallview addition
also enters into the contention of the
plaintiff in the case, the court per-
hitting the association to show to
whom and for what figure each lot in
the addition has been sold and when
it was sold.
Should the case continue at the
rate it has in the past three days, 1t
is unlikely it will be completed this
week.
Attorneys for both sides are conf,
dent, particularly those for the inn
provement association, who declare
the admission of the evidence showing
how the southern part of the city has
been built up in the past few years is
sufficient and substantial enough to
alone prove the utility of the propos
ed crossing The railroad has not had
opportunity to introduce any evidence
but the attorneys have not lost faith
in the possibility of proving the cross
ing will not be public utility and to
establish the fact that the crossing
cannot be constructed because the
land in question is already dedicated
to the railroad company for its own
use.

While Cornelius Ratliff, . we'll
known dairyman, was milking the fam
lily COW, which never before had been
known to lift hoof against its master.
he barely had time to grab milk pail
and stool with that dextrousness which
one soon acquires in this profession to
escape being bowled over. OF course
he thought such antics on the part of
bossy were very strange. and his first
impulse was to "whack" her with the
stool. He then CHANGED to glance at
her back and noticed chicken hawk

The Automatic
Corn Harvester
By REX BERESFoRD In the
Iowa Agricultural

For the last eight or ten years we
have followed the practice Of hogging
down from to 15 acres of corn each
year. We nearly always sow rape in
the corn at the time of the last cult
walton. Sometimes this does not
amount to much, but usually lot Of
green feed results. We have never
been able to see any appreciable dam
age to the corn crop from the growth
Of the rape. We have found that hog
ging down this corn and rape is a
very cheap and easy way of making
pork.
Last fall we turned 1875 Chester
White shoats weighing 81 pounds
apiece into twelve acres Of corn and
rape. We started the pigs slowly on a
little cut corn thrown over the fence
to them. This was gradually increased
for about a week, when the shoats
were turned into the field. This was
done September 8, when the pigs were
from 145 to $50 days old. On Novem-
Der 10, or u days later, they weighed
III pounds, or gain OF 1.01 pounds a
day. This gain was made on corn,
rape and water. No care was given
the hogs in that time except to drag
log over one-half thep field. as in
breaking stalks, about October l. The
same treatment was given the rest
of the field November Is.
If our our estimate Of s. bushels per
acre was correct, this field produced
about $50 bushels OF corn. At 40 cents
bushel minus cents bushel for
husking, this would give $2S8.6O as the
market value Of the corn. Counting
the stalks worth $40, the total value
of the crop was s2sS6O, or $24.ss per
acre. On the 1875 shoats this corn
produced 1924 pounds of pork. At
Sc per 100 pounds this was worth
$685. or $46.62 per acre for the IL
acres, making an added profit over the
value of the corn of $2175 per acre
The shoats when taken from the

"
corn field were we'll grown. thrifty
and vigorous; ready to make gains OF
nearly two pounds day in the fat
tening pen for a period of SO days
more. There was no roughing or sick
ness of any sort, and their health was
much better generally than that OF
hogs running in dry fall pastures or
shut up In dusty yards. We have had
hogs do even better than this when
run on second crop clover pasture
along with the corn and rape. We
believe it would pay to feed little
tankage or meat meal where only the
corn or corn and rape are used. How
ever, we have never tried it.
1t is often claimed that hogging
down corn is wasteful; that there is
much corn tramped into the mud and
never eaten. have examined good
many fields that were hogged down,
and have plowed and cultivated a
good many the season following.
have always found that there was less
corn left in the fields hogged down
than in those hand husked, even by
the most careful husKers, and then
pastured by cattle. The factor OF
waste is in favor of hogging down
Moreover, the land is left cleaner and
freer from weeds and insects where
the hogs have done the harvesting. 1t
is our experience that white grubs,
corn root worms and cut worms
bother but little in a field that has
been hogged down the season before.
We think that from every standpoint
letting the hogs do it" is the best
way of harvesting at least part of
the corn crop.
