PRISON POPULATION is 600.
Number of Prisoners at Anamosa
Greatest i'm Many Years.
TT. Madison High.

Anamosa, July THE count at
the Iowa state reformatory here now
stands at an even 600, the highest in
many years. 1t was claimed by some
that when the law was changed to
the indeterminate sentence that it
would lower the population of the
prisons, but on the other hand 1t has
materially increased as the count at
FIT. Madison prison is also high above
the average, being SIS. 1t was also
claimed by opponents of the law that
the law violators would not have to
serve as long sentences as under the
old plan. This idea has also proten
to be wrong, as the majority are now
compelled to serve longer sentences
than they would under the old law.
The sentences are now more equal;
that is, man convicted of larceny
must serve five years at least, while
under the old law some received five
years, while some got off with six
months. OF the prisoners now at the
reformatory, sos are male and 80
female. There are only males at FIT.

TIMOA nY ON EIGHT ACRES.
Farmer Living Near Cedar Rapids
Finds it Profitable Crop. Worth
$11 Per 100 Pounds.

The wonder of wonders of the
1911 crops in the vicinity of Cedar
Rapids is the report of a yield of
timothy seed on a farm northeast
of the city. On eight acres the own
er of this farm harvested and thresh-
out 100 bushels of timothy seed.
This is a phenomenal yield and
would hardly be believed if the in
formation did not come from a man
who helped thresh the timothy. The
yield is remarkable because it was
made this year when pessimistic
drouth talk has been circulating re-
ports of ruined hay crop and other
drouth damages, and the fact that
a big yield of timothy was grown
near here shows that farmers did
not lose much money through the
drouth.
The good average yield of timothy
seed to the acre is five and six bush
els, and usually only four bushels
make the yield to the acre. A yield
of 100 bushels from eight acres
makes exactly twelve and one-half
bushels to the acre, which is more
than double the average yield. AT
the present time timothy seed is sell
ing at 81 per 100 pounds, and
the price very likely will not drop
There is no doubt that the owner OF
the farm northeast of Cedar Rapids
will receive about $500 for the tim
othy seed raised on eight acres of
ground.

Conductor Loses Leg.

Conductor John Marrah of the
Great Western local freight service
suffered a terrible accident at Boyd
last Saturday in which his left leg
was cut off by the wheels below the
knee and the bones of his right ankle
were broken.
Conductor Marrah was in charge
of train of As cars. AS the train
pulled out he planned to catch the
way car. He grasped the hand rod
all right, but his toe missed the step.
This broke his hand hold and he fell.
Right behind the way car was a
"trailer"-a bad order car-which
they were taking to the shops. The
box on this car broke Mr. Marrah S
ankle and threw him around so that
the rear trucks ran over his leg.
The engine and way car were
coupled up and the injured man was
rushed to the hospital at Oelwein.
Conductor Marrah is an old en-
ploye of the road and one of its val
ued men.-New Hampton Gazette.

dairy inspector.
According to dispatches from Des
Moines, Commissioner Barney held a
conference with Attorney General
Cosson and then announced that he
would Immediately commence a cru
SADIE against the present system of
measuring vegetables. The state law
provides that all vegetables shall be
weighed and sets weight that cor
responds with the old bushel meas
ure.
Inspector Barney announced that
all the department inspectors had
been notified that the crusade would
be all over the state.

William Schroeder Killed by Train

Last Saturday morning at about
two o'clock, William Schroeder was
struck and instantly killed by the
Rock Island train No. 10, north
bound, at a point about one mile
north of Waverly Junction, and
about twenty rods from the home of
his parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Henry
Schroeder. The horse he was driv-
ing, was also instantly killed and the
buggy in which he was riding was
badly wrecked.
When the train crew found they
had hit rig, the train was brought
to a standstill and the lifeless body
of the young man was taken aboard
and carried to Shell Rock, where it
was learned who he was, and his par
ents were telephoned to.
He had been at the band concert
in Waverly and had started home
between eleven and twelve o'clock.
The night was very foggy and it is
presumed that neither he nor the
train crew saw each other until too
late, or that the young man was
asleep, which is very improbable, as
neighbors a half mile north heard
him drive past their house and over
bridge at rate of speed which
would indicate that he was awake
and urging his horse on as fast as
possible. The general belief is that
he didn't hear the train approach
ing and drove to his death unwarn-
ed.-Waverly Independent.

DIES FROM KICK OF HORSE,
Deerfield Township Man Lives But q
Few Hours After the
Accident.

While working around a horse in
the barn on the Mike Clemens farm
four miles west of North Washing
ton Monday evening, Theo. Blender
was kicked in the stomach by the
animal, suffering such severe injur-
les that his death ensued on Tuesday
morning at o'clock.
1t is not known how the accident
happened. Mr.. Blenders two COM
panions, who are associated with him
in working the farm, were near at
hand outside the barn. They heard
him yell and ran to his assistance.
He was conscious, but was in great
pain.
Deceased was about 50 years of
age, and came to this country from
Holland about ten years ago with a
number of his countrymen. He was
industrious, frugal and honest, and
well respected in the neighborhood.
The funeral was held at st. Mary's
Catholic church in North Washing
ton this morning.-New Hampton

MAKING THE FARM PAY.
Rankin, the Millionaire
Farmer.

When David Rankin, the worlds
largest farmer, was asked to tell the
secret of his success Che began by

000, 900, all made in farming) he
answered promptly: Success in
farming consists in making every
minute, every cent and every seed
count. A coed workman is cheap at
most any price and a shiftless, care
less man is dear if he works for
nothing"
Not long before he died Mr.. Ran
kin amplifed his views. ITO make
a profit the farmer, just as any other
manufacturer, must reduce the cost
of production" he said. Il saw this
long ago and when l saved a hands
wages by he use of new piece of
machinery / felt pretty good; that
was making money for me. We farm
ers must not only keep eternally at
reducing the cost of production, but
| plan a way to get the most out of
our product. Use your head as well
as your hands, for it is the little
! savings that make up the profits at
the end of the year. 1t takes sharp
ening of wits all the time
The fertilizer problem Is one of
the most serious confronting the
farmer today. Shall he open ND his
| fields 10 the commercial article or
shall he husband his own resources
and maintain the fertility of the soil
by returning to it the elements of
which it was robbed in producing
! Grnn0 Tho &c cinonln A fan
of average fresh manure contains ten
pounds of nitrogen, five pounds of
phcsphoric acid and ten pounds of
potash. At the prices which these
elements of plant food would cost in
commercial fertilizers the value of
manure would be $3.50 a ton. This
does not take into account the value
of the organic matter furnished,
which may be greater than that of
the plant food. That this theoretical
valuation is very conservative is
shown by the result of many field
experiments, by various experiment
stations and by practical farmers.
The value as shown by the increased
crops has equalled and often exceed
ed this theoretical valuation.
An experiment conducted in Jas
per County, Missouri, resulted in an
acre which had been treated with
eight tons of manure yielding sixty
five bushels of corn, while an acre
Immediately adjoining-which had
not been treated with natural fer
tilizer-yielding only twenty-nine
and a half bushels. Experiments
conducted at Columbia, in the same
state, resulted as follows: A tract
on which corn had been grown con-
tinuously for twenty years yielded
only three bushels to the acre. I'M
mediately adjoining, a tract planted
to corn for twenty years, but which
had been literally MANFRED, yielded
thirty bushels to the acre. Another
tract, likewise adjoining, on which
corn had been rotated with oats and
clover yielded forty-nine bushels to
the acre. Still fourth tract, i'm
mediately adjoining on which scien-
tific management had been practiced
to the extent of both rotating crops
and manuring the field, yielded sixty
bushels to the acre-From Eff
