old daughter went 10 Omaha TO d..
some shopping. She has been missing
since then. She was not acquainted
with Omaha and it is thought that
she lost her way in the city or has
been led off some place. Her sister
committed suicide three or four year 8

Alfalfa pasture for hogs pays
1t pays sometimes at the rate of
nearly $50 per acre.
Alfalfa pasturage paid that we'll in
an experiment in hog feeding conduct
ed by the Iowa agricultural expert
ment station at the state college dur
Ing the past season of drought. John
Evvard, the station experimentalist in
animal husbandry, put Is shoats upon
g of an acre of alfalfa last May 10. He
took them off September 49, In that
time that piece of pasturage produced
enough hay and pork to give net re-
turn of $3.50, which Is at the rate of
$S7.33 per acre.
While they were on this alfalfa pas
ture, the is shoats were fed total of
1870 pounds of corn, costing practi-
cally $50, and 22O pounds Of meat
meal, costing $3.50. For additional
feed, therefore, the cost in this four
months was s345O.

Nothing will stir up interest in bet
ter horse breeding than colt show.
Where these exhibitions have been
conducted, notably at Madrid, Iowa.
the results in high class drafters has
been marked. That town, where a
colt show has been held for six years,
is the center of a territory that is said
to contain more and better grade draft
horses than any other similar terri
tory in the United States. The ami
mails that are grown there are sought
after by buyers and they bring from
S25 to $50 per head more than horses
bought elsewhere. The whole coun-
try around is alive to the fun and
profit in raising good live stock in
stead of scrubs and it is mighty
poor farmer who isn't in the game.
Iowa State College helped to promote
the Madrid show and others like it
and is willing to help in the promo
ton of still others. Its animal hus-
bandry department will help outline
plans for organization and also fur
nish judges.
The work of organizing is simple.
The first step to be taken is to bring
together the stallion owners and
pledge them to the project. They
should agree among themselves to put
up enough money to pay for the cash
prizes, ribbons and judging expense.
which need not be more than $50 for
the first show. Then the business
men of the town should be enlisted to
put up merchandise prizes and to help
pay for the printing and advertising.
The stallion owners should get behind
the movement with their money. be-
cause it will stimulate interest in
their horses; the business men should
help, because good colt show draws
hundreds of people to the town and
gives the farmers new interest in it's
business.
When the classes of colts to be ex.
hibited have been agreed upon and
the premiums fixed, the advertising
should begin. There ought to be no
tees in the weekly newspapers and
perhaps posters announcing the show

advertising. The country around the
town ought to be divided into districts
and man sent into every district to
tell every farmer personally about the
show and solicit him to enter his best
colts. The stallion owners might take
care of this work without charge.
No entrance fee should be charged

cry particular. The exhibit should be
in the open air, where all may see it
without price. Such course of lib
crafty will make everybody feel good.
Care must be taken to select good
judge for the show. A Judge may do
much to make show OF to mar it.
If he is competent and fair, the exhi-
bitors will go away satisfied, espe-
cially if he explains briefly his reasons
for his placings after each class Is
placed. If he is incompetent and I'M
fair, the show is likely to get a black
eye. Care must be taken also to run
the show through promptly, without
delays. Have it start on time Let
tactful and competent men. who are
we'll acquainted, be put in charge Of
each class and be responsible for the
prompt assembling of the colts en-
tered in it. A secretary will also be
required to receive the entries and
keep the record of them and the
awards.

In this four months, the pasture and
other feeding put pork on the ribs of
the shoats to the amount of 1923
pounds, worth six cents a pound, or
total of $91.56. The pasture also pro-
duced one cutting of one and one-half
tons of hay, worth s14 ton or total
of $21. The total return from the
g acre patch was $11256. The net re-
turn, after deducting the cost of corn
and meat meal fed to the shoats. was
$3.50.
There is no question about the
value of alfalfa to the hog grower"
said Mr.. Evvard recently. I'VE know 1t
pays from this and other experiences,
and the Iowa hog grower ought to
know that. We tried sweet clover this
year also in similar experiment. Il
brought practically $40 per acre. We
have demonstrated that for the first
years growth sweet clover makes
about as profitable pasturage as the
last crop of medium red clover.''

Flushing Ewes.

The practice of flushing" ewes is
a good one, according to Prof. w. j.
Kennedy of the Iowa agricultural ex-
pertinent station. BY flushing" is
meant the practice of putting ewes on
a highly nutritious and very palatable
ration for about three weeks previous
to the time of mating in order that
they may be gaining rapidly in flesh
at the time of breeding.
FLUSHED ewes not only produce
more twin lambs" says Professor
Kennedy, "but are more likely to
breed. Some say twins are not desir-
able. Experiments show that ewes
sucking twins do not lose any more
flesh than those with one lamb and
that twins make as rapid gains as
singles. This is an easy way to dou-
Bile profits of the breeding flock.

A Combination Silo
and Water Tower


The experimentalists in agricultural
engineering at Iowa State college are
demonstrating that the farmer who
builds the right kind of a silo may
also use the structure for a water
tower and thus kill two birds with
one stone," to use an old figure OF
speech.
1t has been shown not only that If a
silo is properly built it may be used
as tower to support the standard
types of water tanks of Wood or
steel, but also that special combi-
nation silo and water tank may be
economically constructed of masonry
suitable for this double use.
These combination silos and water
towers are old in Europe, but new in.

AEROPLANE TO

War Correspondent Says They Are
Our Only Hope In Case

[Gate City Leased Wire Seryice,l
ST. PAUL, March 1S."The United

big emergency in war. Such men as
Wilbur Wright will prove to be this
country's saviors when the time comes
for trial of strength with japan or
any other country With small fleet
of aeroplanes hovering over the Pa
cific or the Atlantic it would be I'M
possible for any hostile feet of war
ships to land Under present condi-
tions, however, this country is totally
unprepared for any big attack from
either Shore
This is the opinion of Frederick

ent who is spending few days in
ST. Paul He is the correspondent OF
the Illustrated London News" and a
syndicate of English newspapers. For
thirty years he has at various times
reported the war doings in many con

Villiers believes that the aeroplane
is the panacea for war, particularly
for the United States.
at is not wealth that counts in
war" he continued. ut is poverty
The Japanese are poor and they are
seeking to strengthen their position
What are they spending half of theil
revenue for unless they are looking

will go to war with the United States
But some day the Japanese will make
some kind of demand on this country
