A Dry Time Coming.

Even now pastures are not a
luxurious as they should be q
this time of the year. The sign
over most of the corn belt are TO
dry season, but if the rainfall
is up to average, a dry time vii
almost certainly come during th,
last of July, August and earl,
September. Those of our reader
who have summer silos are to b,
congratulated. Their cows
should 60 through this period Of
declining milk flow, figuratively
speaking, with colors flying.
But what are those dairymeu
who are not equipped with sum
mer silos to do about it? Are
they to suffer their cows to roam
the parched, brown, bare pas
lures, tormented by flies, in
search of scattering blades Of
grass here and there? Yes, we
know that is what will happen
to most cows.
You may ask, "Well, what
would you do about it if you
were in our placer" Possibly we
would do just the same things
you are, but we know we would
give considerable thought to do
ing the following:
For each twenty-five cows we
would plant say an acre of fod-
der corn as quickly as possible.
In August, just when the pas.
lures are generally at their worst,
this corn will be ready for use.
Besides planting the corn, start.
ing at once, every ten days or
two weeks, an acre of millet or
of sorghum for each twenty-five
cows. Also if we lived south of
central Iowa we would seriously
consider using a succession of
sowings of cowpeas or soy beans.
We might use them mixed with
the 'millet or sorghum. In all
this we are merely giving APP
proximate suggestions and Moth
ing definite. Now you may ex.
claim: Hold on here. This
sounds like trouble to me. How
are you going to get these crops
to the cows? Will you not have
to cut them and haul them morn
ing and night, and possibly at
noon? l don't see how / can
work that in"
Well, perhaps you can not.
Perhaps it does not make such a |
difference to you just how much |
milk and butterfat your cows |
give, but the man who keeps
cows for money and not for pleas.
ure, and who uses his brains in
his work, will, in time, we be.
lieve, come around to the point
where he will see the urgency of
doing one of two things-either
provide a summer sil0 or grow
soiling crops. We rather favor
the summer silo ourselves, but
most dairymen are unprovided
with it this year. What we are
driving at is this: Why not
think the matter over quite care
fully and see if it will not pay
you to plant a succession such
;rops as corn, sorghum, kafr
,orn, millet, cowpeas and soy

it is a good one, most

AFTER ENGLISH GOLF HoNoRs.
Golfers Will Try MettIe of Cousins
Early in June.

Boston, May s.-Parker w. Whit
temore of the Country club, Brook
line, may play in the British amateur
golf championship at Prestwick. He
Mrs. Whittemore, and will arrange
matters so that he can be at Prest-
wick for the title play.
Should Mr.. Whittemore be among
the starters at Prestwick, May 20, and
all the other United States golfers
take part who have been slated to en-
ter the championship, there will be a
formidable array representing this
side of the Atlantic. c. e. Evans,
Jr., is going as a certainty; w. c..
Fownes. Jr., the U. s. 6. A. amateur
champion, presumably is going, as is
his sister, who will play in the Scotch
and British women's championships;
Frederick Herreshoff, the Metropoli-
tan district champion, and indiSput-
ably one of the longest drivers in the
world, has figured on going, and now
it is reported that Louis Livingston is
another who will enter. The last
named presumably is the same golfer
who figured prominently in U. S. G. A.
golf few years ago.
Mr.. Whittemore is reported as hav-
ing been in splendid mettle earlier this
year at Pinehurst, and last season he
played the best golf of his career, so
if he goes to PreStwick his presence
means much to the coterie of Ameri-
can players in the British champion
ship. From watching his style in
practice-as the British players are
certain to do in the case of all the
Americans entered, having heard so
much about some of them-the golf
ers of the isles may be greatly misled,
and underrate his abilities. If so, it
may be to their subsequent chagrin.
The old Harvard baseball player would
never take a prize for golfing form,
yet he has a "get there" style that is
likely to set a pace which the best
amateur in England would find diff
cult to equal. Some of his scores at
the Country club are proof enough of
this statement.

KATE ADAMS OUT.
New Chicago Police Head Wants Man
in Her Position.

Chicago, May S.-Miss Kate Adams,
formerly of Topeka, private secretary
of Leroy T. Steward when he was chief
of police has been asked by Chief Nc
Weeny to take transfer. He intends
to succeed her by a man.
The contemplated change was made
public Saturday. Miss Adams prob

hall Her departure from the field
which offered her opportunities for di-
rect work among the unfortunate and

SUES FOR DOG BITE.
b. N. TurIzin Asks Three Thousand
Dollars From Bryants.

Because a dog attcked him, B. N.
Turkin is today asking jury IN Judge
Dana's court to grant him judgment
for $4,000 damages against ); w.
Bryant, Mrs Bryant and Herbert Bry-
ant. their son. Turkin, an agent Tor
mail order conservatory, visited the
Bryant home near Granville. When
he entered the yard, he was attacked
by the family canine-a half breed
family pet-and was severely injured
as a result of the encounter.
1t was in August when Turkin can
vassed the Bryant district. He was
selling music lessons and musical sup
plies and anxious to make good
Showing for the firm. Turkin testified
he visited and snapped his fingers
when he entered the Bryant yard and
saw a meek eyed bull terrier-shepherd
dog come from the kennel to greet
him. Two minutes later. the plaintiff
said, he was yelling at the top of his
voice for assistance. Then the son
stepped on the porch viewed the pro-
ceedings for a few minutes and finally
ordered the family pet to its kennel.
81 was trying to make friends with
the dog the witness testified, land
whistled and snapped my fingers when
1 saw him come from behind the
house. He seemed very friendly until
he was within six feet of me. Then
he crouched and sprang at my throat.
I put my hand out to ward off the at
tack and he caught he here" said the
witness, as he showed scars from
badly lacerateG hand. Il yelled for
help, but the dog came right back.
The next time he caught me on the
leg. The scars are still there. After
Iyelled some more the young man ap-
peared and finally took the dog to the
kennel"
The plaintiff showed that the dog
was a dangerous pet. They presented
witnesses who testified that or at least
two former occasions the dog had Bit
ten other persons.
But the defense this afternoon is
telling an entirely different story.
Their witnesses declare that the dog is
a perfect gentleman. 1t will eat from
your hand, they say, and is as mild
hammered, meek and sociabIe as any
pet man ever owned. Perhaps the dog
himself may be introduced in evidence
to show his love for mankind It is
contended by Bryants' attorney that
when the plaintiff entered the yard, he
did so in a boisterous, noisy manner
that disturbed the even temper of the
animal.
Both sides exhausted their quota of
challenges in the selection of a Jury.
Only one Juror who owns dog, was
ever bitten by a dog or has any per-
sonaI feelings against the tribe found
a place on the jury. That was after
the challenges were exhausted and the
juror told Judge Dana he would try
the case according to the law and evil
dence and the instructions of the
court.

THEY'RE swATTING THE FLY.
Boy Scouts at Weir City Making Cam
paign That Counts.

DR.. S. J. Crumbine, secretary of the
state board of health, is highly elated
over the manner in which the boy
scouts organization of Weir City have
taken up the crusade of Swat the
Fly" A letter from the chairman of
the boy scouts tells the doctor that
they are making fly screen ''swatters'
by the wholesale and expect to leave
one in every home in the town. They
have placarded the place with board
of health fly posters, and appeared
before the city council with essays
which they read to support their ar
guments why the board of health anti
fly ordinance should be passed by that
body.
The boys are also making arrange
ments to place large fly traps all over
town
These boys" declared the doctor
today, have shown a masterful in
telligence in their plans for an anti
fly campaign which would put to
shame their elders. 1t is to be hoped
that the movement all over the state
may be stimulated by the splendid ex-

doctor slipped around their objections
and placed the man in the building.
The jailer was in the act of throwing
the man from the place when one OF

Despite the fact that hydant blew

the hydrant and new connection two
blocks away was made quick enough to

The barn was set on fire supposedly
by the same persons that have been
burning barns in the east section of
the city the last month.
At noon today the hay in the barn
caught fire again and a second run was

done this time.
The barn is owned by r. I. Horton.
