CHILD'S HEAD
A MASS OF HUMOR

81 think the Cuticura remedies are
the best remedies for eczema 1 have
ever heard of. Ny mother had a child
who had a rash on its head when II
was real young. Doctor called it baby
rash He gave Us medicine, but II did
no good. In a few days the head was
a solid mass, a running sore. It was
awful; the child cried continually. We
had to hold him and watch him to
keep him from scratching the sore.
His suffering was dreadful. At last
we remembered Cuticura Remedies.
We got a dollar bottle of Cuticura Re
solvent, a box of Cuticura Ointment,
and bar of Cuticura Soap. We gave
the Resolvent as directed, washed the
head with the Cuticura Soap, and ap-
piled the Cuticura Ointment We had
not used half before the child's head
was clear and free from eczema, and
It has never come back again. His
head was healthy and he had beau
tiful head Of hair. I think the Cuti
cura Ointment very good for the hair
1t makes the hair grow and prevents
falling hair" (Signed) Mrs. Francis
Lund, Plain City, Utah, Sept 19, 1910

meDt are sold everywhere, a sample

THE military value of the cavalry
1 branch has been enormously in
creased by the adoption of wireless
teIegraphy, for the first time in this
country thoroughly tried out in the
Texas maneuvers.
The signal corps had devised an ex
tremely light and portable wireless ap-
paratus, easily carried on the back of
a horse and capable Of being put into
operation from any point in the field
within a few minutes. 1t was found
that the messages could be readily re
ceived when the cavalry detachment
was anywhere within twenty-five miles
Of q receiving station, a fact which
added greatly to the value Of the cav
airy in its scouting capacity. A light

than a fishing rod, served to support

tory results. In every. case where a
ration of corn and alfalfa hay has
been compared with a ration of corn
alone, the corn and alfalfa has pro-
duced the most economical gains In
an experiment conducted in 1910, one
lot of hogs was fed corn and alfalfa
hay, and a similar lot on corn alone.
For every 100 pounds gained by the
hogs fed corn alone $50 pounds gain
was made by the hogs fed corn and
hay. The hay fed hogs in addition
to COZ pounds OF alfalfa hay, con-
sumed SIS pounds more corn than
the hogs fed corn alone; and made
1928 pounds more gain. On the basis
Of the hogs fed corn alone, we have
1929 pounds of pork produced for an
outlay of SIS pounds of corn and SCI
pounds of hay Valuing corn at so
cents a busheI and hay at $40 a ton,
the feed required to produce the ex-
ira gain made by the hay fed hogs
cost SAT- for each 100 pounds, which
is Slip cheaper than the gain made
with corn alone.
In another experiment conducted at
this station during the present year,
it was found that for every 100
pounds of gain produced by hogs fed
on corn alone, 124.5 pounds of gain
was made by hogs fed on corn and
alfalfa hay. The hay fed hogs con-
sumed, in addition to 461 pounds Of
hay, 67-5 pounds more grain than the
hogs fed corn alone, and made 16S
pounds more gain. With corn at soc
a bushel and hay at $40 per ton, the
feed required to produce 100 pounds
of gain. on the hogs fed corn, cost
$500, and on the hogs fed corn and
hay, 1884. Or again, expressed on
the basis of the corn fed lot, the ex-
ira 16S pounds of gain made by the
hay fed hogs cost at the rate of s1.77
for each 100 pounds, or 2.23 for each

and other experiments show that
from the standpoint of rapidity Of
gains and economy of gains, the pas
ture feeding excells dry lot feeding.
1t is generally conceded that alfalfa
makes the best hog pasture. but
where alfalfa is not available other
pastures and forage crops can be used
instead. Experiments conducted al
this station have shown that rape pas
ture gave essentially the same results
as alfalfa pasture, with hogs on full
feed, except that it required a larger
area to produce the same amount of
gain. Rape is also a succulent feed
for brood sows and growing pigs.
Sorghum and cowpeas also make good
pastures for both breeding and fat
tening hogs. Rye and wheat both
make excellent pastures for fall, win
ter and spring use for the brood sows,
and growing pigs, and for the fatten-
ing hogs as well.
Experiments have shown that corn
should not be fed alone, but that

italy the same condition, and
weighed approximately $50 pounds
each at the beginning of the test
They were fed as follows:
= One lot, corn alone and dry lot;
one lot, corn alone and alfalfa pas
ture; one lot, corn 900, tankage 1910,
in dry lot; one lot, corn 900, tank
age 1910, on alfalfa pasture; one lot,
corn 62%6, tankage SO, in dry lot;
and one lot, corn 62G6, shorts 300,
and tankage SO, on alfalfa pasture
In this test it was found that for
every 100 pounds of gain made by
the hogs fed corn in dry lot, 12S
pounds of gain was made by the hogs
fed corn on alfalfa pasture; for every
100 pounds gain made by the hogs
fed corn and tankage in dry lot, 125
pounds of gain was made by the hogs
fed corn and tankage on alfalfa pas
ture; and for every 100 pounds of
gain made by the hogs fed corn,
shorts and tankage in dry lots, 123
pounds of gain was made by the hogs
fed on corn, shorts and tankage on
alfalfa pasture. Thus, the hogs fed
on alfalfa pasture made approximately
25F6 more gain than the hogs fed
without pasture.
The grain required to produce 100
pounds gain cost "a cents less with
the hogs fed corn and alfalfa pasture
than with the hogs fed corn alone;
- cents less with the hogs fed corn,
shorts, tankage and pasture, than
with those fed corn, shorts and tank
age without pasture; and "a cents
less with hogs fed corn, tankage and
pasture The cheapest gains were
made with corn, tankage and pasture,
and the most expensive gains with
corn IN dry lot. In other words the
hogs on pasture made 25Go more gain
at approximately 15G6 less cost than
did the hogs in the dry lots This

100 pounds less than the gain on the
hogs fed corn alone.
In the same experiment, another
lot of hogs were fed a ration of corn
629a, shorts 300, and tankage So
The feed required to produce each
100 pounds of gain on this lot, cost
1915. These hogs made 514 pounds
more gain than the hogs fed corn
alone, and $40 pounds more gain than
the hogs fed corn and hay. They
were in better condition at the close
of the experiment than the corn and
hay hogs, but the higher cost of the
shorts and tankage, just about Offset
the increased value and shorter feed
ing period
IN these experiments the hay was
fed in racks. The hogs were free
to eat just what their appetites de-
manded Experience seems to show
that hogs do better when fed hay by
this method than they do where the
hay is mixed with the grain feed, thus
forcing the hog to eat it.

After many months in waiting 1t

DEATH OF |. P. SIGLfR
A Prominent Citizen Stricken with
Paralysis Sunday Morning and
Passed Away that Evening.

A shadow of gloom was cast over
our city and the entire community
Sunday when it became known that
Mr.. l.. p. Sigler, had been stricken
with paralysis while attending Sun
day school at the M. E. church, his
left side being affected. Medical as
sistance was at once summoned and
Mr., Sigler was carried to his home
on south Main street. The physicians
recognized that his condition was
very serious as he has been in fail
ing health for several years, but with
his indomitable will and energy had
kept up and attended to his business,
when most men would have been
confined to their beds. Everything
possible was done, but without avail,
and he passed away Sunday evening
at 1U O'Clock.
Mr.. Sigler probably had more to
do with the upbuilding of Leon. and
Decatur county than any man living,
for since coming to Decatur county
in 1868, he had been actively en-
gagged in business. When he came to
Iowa in 1868 he located at Garden
Grove, and came to Leon in 1869,
and in partnership with his brother,
