Announcements of the twelfth an
nual farmers short course at Iowa
State college, Ames, indicate that the
college has larger plans than ever to
help Iowa's agriculturists to solve
their big practical farming prob
lens.
For the first time a short course in
Iowa or anywhere else special atten-
tion is to be given to the feeding.
stock. This new line of work, cover
ing two weeks period, will touch all
the important questions in live stock
growing, but 1t will put special empha.
sis on feeding, the biggest question
OF all. The animal husbandry depart
ment will put many years of practical
experience and experimenting into this
two weeks course and there isn't q
grower Of cattle. sheep. hogs or horses
who would not profit by 1t.
In the agronomy section of the short
course. some of the pressing crop and
soil problems are to be dealt with in
a like manner. Especial attention will
be paid to the small grains. no subject
deserving more attention than that of
largely increasing the small grain
yields. Much attention will also be
given to clover and alfalfa, and the
results Of many experiments with
these legumes will be given to the
classes. Iowa's soil and fertility prob
lens are to have much attention in
this course and the results of expert
ments on Iowa soils for the past five
years are to be presented.
To meet the greatly increased de-
mand for practical poultry training.
the work in this department has been
greatly strengthened. The classes will
have more and better birds for study,
better equipment, and larger instruc-
ton staff. including experts from 9TH
er states
The horticultural department will
devote its work through the two
weeks to the questions OF commercial
apple orcharding-the really big
questions In Iowa horticulture. 1t will
be made clear, for instance, why west.
ern apples bsing three dollars per
bushel. as against one dollar for Iowa
apples, and how the Iowa grower may
get as much for his excellent fruit as
any grower. The potato problem In
Iowa will also be considered.

Iowa state College Tests Seeds Free.

Iowa farmers who want to know
whether their clover, timothy, blue
grass, millet and cereal seeds are pure
and whether they have enough vitality
to terminate may find out from the
Iowa agricultural experiment station
at Ames. The farm crops and botan.
ical sections will examine and test
all samples sent to them without
charge. There is no use of sending
these seeds for testing outside of the
state. nor for paying any fee therefor.
The experiment station urges Iowa
farmers to call upon it for help In this
matter.
If test of corn, oats, wheat, rye
or barley is desired, send the samples
to the Farm Crops Section, Station

The testing of seed now for purity
and vitality may save many dollars
later on. 1t is one of the important
steps in preparation for next seasons

HydrCphobia Kills,

Aberdeen.-Mrs. C. Hardtke, whose
home Is foul miles southwest of this
city, died at her home Of hydrophobia.
Mrs. Hardtke received the injury
which caused her death when she dis
covered a neighbor's dog killing the
chickens in the farm yard. She picked
up a stick and attempted to brighten
the animal away, but he sprang at her,
tearing the flesh on her forehead. The
wound was a small one causing little
pain, so no attention was paid it and it
appeared to be healed. The latter
part of the week, however, she suffer-
ed from violent pains in her head, and
drove to Aberdeen and was attended
by DR.. Farrell. The delay in seeking
treatment until definite symptoms of
rabies appeared made the case a hope
less one before a physician was call
ed, and that afternoon she became
violent, continuing to have attacks of
the terrible mania which marks the
disease until her death occurred.

Hot Springs.-The ~19-month-old boy
of Mr.. and Mrs. J. E. Harmon was SER
iously if not mortally wounded by his
17-year-old brother. He vas brought
to the sisters hospital here for oper-
alive treatment. The accident hap
pened at their home 10 miles from
Deerefield. The young man was
handling a revolver in the same room
where the baby was sleeping, when it
exploded, the bullet striking the child
in the leg above the knee, The ball
crushed through the bone and up
through the hi, coming out at the
abdomen. Through a 10-mile drive, a
railroad trip from Hills City and a
wait over night for the return of the
surgeon of the city, the child stood
the gain without losing consciousness.
