TrainlOad of Iron Ore.

A trainload of ore from the Wau-
kon iron mines is on the long siding
below town ready for shipment
twenty-five carloads were brought
over from the mines Sunday by the
branch train crew. The ore is in it's
finished state from the treatment
plant at the mines and is ready for
the smelter. 1t is stated to be of a
quality quite above the most san
guine expectations of the company,
and there is considerable satisfac-
ton, of course, over this splendid
outcome of the months of expert
mental work at the mines. The great
value and splendid prospects of the
Waukon iron deposits are now as
sured.
President Goltra will arrive this
week from st. Louis to make one of
his personal inspections of the de-
velopment work in which he and his
associates have expended over half
million dollars thus far.
The entire force of over forty men
Will be continued at work through
out the entire winter. Next spring
the number is to be doubled. Supt.
Erwin states that these employees will
need homes and because of the pres
ent scarcity of houses in Waukon he
would urge that some action be taken
at once by Waukon citizens looking
towards meeting the demand. This
is certainly an important matter for
our city and should receive prompt
onsideration.-W aukon Democrat.

PALzER FIGHTS TOMORROW.
What JAS. j. COrbett, Former Cham.
pion, Thinks of His Match i'm
New York Tomorrow
With Kaufman.

The Kaufman-Palzer card that the
National Sporting club has scheduled
for Thursday is of more than local
Importance for the reason that one
OF the principals was until recently
regarded the only white man in cap
tiyity who had a living chance with
any of the quartet of negroes who
act as barriers on the road to the
championship.
Tom O'Rourke, the veteran hand
Ter, director of Palzer's career, bold
ly predicts success for his charge.
The bout should give us a good line
on Palzer and show us if Kaufman
mas gone back, as many seem to
think. The winner will be matched
with Jim Flynn and New York may
land the card instead of Frisco. Pal
ger is very aggressive, has gameness
and stamina to burn. Kaufman is
more experienced, better boxer and
has, or had, terrific punch. With
out doubt PalZer is the toughest
pig fellow seen around here in many
day barring Carl Morris. Punish
ment seems to act as a stimulant to
him. Whether he will be able to
stand off a hard puncher like Kauf-
man remains to be seen.
Kaufman's greatest defect as a
fighter is lack of speed. His punch
ing powers are discounted by pom
derous footwork. With one blow he
often dozes an opponent, but is not
quick or alert enough to follow up
the temporary advantage. His ad-
versary is thus given ample time to
recuperate. Barring a one-punch
victory for the Californian / look for
the bout to go ten rounds.-Jas. ].

BEAUTY TRUTHS.
Pimples, Sallowness, Blotches and
Dull Eyes Caused by
Stomach.

Beauty is only skin deep, but
that's deep enough to satisfy most
women, also men.
In order to keep the skin in a
clear, clean, healthy condition, the
stomach must supply the blood plen-
ty of nutrition. AS long as the stom-
ach is out of order and the blood
lacks proper nourishment, the skin
will be affected.
If you want perfect skin that you

FACTORY GOES TO GALENA.
DEBORAH Glove and Mitten Works

be Moved to That City.

For some time it has been COM
monty known that the DEBORAH Glove

for sale, and the deal has been finally
consummated with Millhouse Bros.

who will move it to Galena, Ill. this

ager of the B. AnUEdsel Publishing

concern since it's inception, but h S
duties with the other company take
all his time, so that he did not feel
that he could do justice to this con-
Germ, and SO it was decided to sell
out.
The forelady of the plant, Miss
Lulu Gerhold and several of the sew

a very valuable man in caring for the

Take Notice.

Citizens and Taxpayers of DEBORAH:
A matter of high Importance to
the financial situation of DEBORAH, is
that all citizens report to the City
Clerk by phone or otherwise of any
electric lights not working, or in bad
condition, and thereby get service for
what the city has to pay for monthly
for lights. The committee on light
ing feel that is the duty of all citi-
zens to make such report, when
found, to the city hall office of the
City Clerk, which is open every day
from 800 a. m. to 400 p. m.

NEW AUTO PLATES RECEIVED.
Secretary of State Has $4,000 Num-
bers For Next Year.

Des Moines, Ia, Dec. 26.-At pres
ent the number of auto number
plates issued by the secretary of state
for 1911 falls just 81 short of max
ing total of 10000. A few more
may be issued, but probably not
enough to make even numbers. The
new plates, those of 1912, will be
sent out very soon to all who have
perfected their applications and paid
the tax. The state has purchased
$4,000 for next year, and some of
them have already been received.
The new plates will be lighter and
more handsome than the old ones.

LIFE TERRIERS ASK PARDON.
John III. Cater of This County One
of Twelve Who Seek
Freedom.

There are fifty-five life term pris-
oners in the state prison at Fort
Madison and nearly as many at the
state reformatory at Anamosa.
Twelve of them are asking that the
grant them pardons.
Last week Gov. Carroll and his
stenographers visited Fort Madison
and interviewed all of the prisoners
there who are asking relief from life
terms. The governor will take up
these cases for himself as well as
have the parole board make the in
vestigation and report required by
law. The following are the persons
whose petitions are now before the
governor:
At FIT. Madison-Albert Parnitzki,
Van Buren, county; w. Lucas, Page;
Ire Noble, Muscatine; L. w. Haley
and Hugh Robbard, Dubuque.
At Anamosa-Joseph Bogdany,
Monroe county; Sophia Kruger,
Howard; Deforest Fairbanks, Nit
chell; John Hammill, Polk; Harry
HOFFMAN, Cherokee; John H. Cater,
Winneshiek; G. Eckerlebe, Clinton.
These cases practically all stand
on one footing. Nearly all have serv-
ed long time. The board of parole
has virtually set the precedent that
in the case of life termers there
should be no pardon no matter what
the circumstances, and that a life
term is different from a limited term
and the legislative intent was that 1t
should be ended only by death.
Whether the governor will take this
view when he reaches consideration
OF the list remains to be seen.
These cases will all be taken up at
the January term of the parole
board.

1t is best to test the milk for but
ter fat once each month.
Don't mix the morning and night
milk unless both are quite cool.
There is no liquid that will absorb
odors more quickly than warm milk.
The animal that pays the best Is
bound to be in evidence as dairymen
become better informed.
1t Is a mistake to suppose that a
good COW of inferior breeding Is quail
fed to drop good calf.
Glover Is one of the best forage
crops for cows and is one OF the best
crops dairyman can put In.
Before selecting pure-bred sire to
head the herd of cows, 1t Is necessary
to canvass the situation thoroughly
In building up dairy herd from
common stock, much time will be
saved If the best cows are selected to
form the breeding herd.
There are few COWS which will not
stand more quietly during the milk
ing process If they have nothing else
to attract their attention.
Milk that is properly pasteurized
and then kept at low temperature
will keep much longer, as rule, than
that which is not so treated
Separate the cream while the milk
is still warm aud In cold weather first
run hot water through the separator
to warm it. Strain the milk int1 the
separator through wire gauze.

CLOVER HAY FOR DAIRY cows
Cut When Dew is or. Soon
as Well Wiited.

Clover for milk cows should be cut
turn brown; If cut too early there is
waste of substance, and If cut when
the heads are dead ripe. the leaves
have fallen off in the curing and the
stalks are hard and woody. The char
acter of the weather should be studied.
Cut when the dew is off, as soon as
we'll Wilted. 1t should be shaken out
and turned before dew falls. The next
day rake into small windrows, and
after the field is raked over, com,
mence at the beginning and double
the rows, and by turning the hay with
the rake two or three times, exposing
the green punches to the sun and air,
the sap will evaporate by the middle
OF the afternoon, when the hay may
be punched and put up into medium
sized cocks. If the weather is clear,
cooking will not be necessary. The
next morning haul in; spread one
peck of coarse salt upon each load. II
the bottom Of punches should be damp
turn the punches over an hour before
hauling The incest way to cure clover
hay Is to put 1t up in good-sized cocks,
cap it and let it remain in the cock
until well cured, when 1t should be
hauled in and placed in a portion OF
the NOW for spring feeding. Glover
hay cured in the cock is much more
valuable than sun-dried hay. Cows
fed with this quality Of hay will not
only give large quality Of milk, but
the milk will be rich and well favored
If the hay feels heavy in handling
a layer of old hay or straw should be
spread over each load to absorb the
moisture. Green hay should not be put
into the NOV, as 1t is sure 70 heat
and may cause the loss of the barn.

Substitute for Bordeaux.

"Lime-Sulphur as Summer Spray"
. new bulletin ready for distribution
from the New York State College Of
Agriculture. contains a clean-cut sum-
mary, with a brief discussion OF the
results, obtained by Errett Wallace.
They indicate that lime-sulphur is an
efficient substitute for bordeaux in the
control Of apple scab. Some Of the
important points brought out are:
Lime-sulphur will control the apple
scab in wet season, as well as in dry
one A dilution of LAO Of a concen-
trate testing 33 degrees Beaume with
two pounds arsenate of lead Is about
right for the apple scab. Arsenate Of
lead Increases the fungicidal value of
lime sulphur by so per cent. The fun
gicidal value of sediment in lime-sul-
phur depends upon magnesium oxide
content. The bulletin will be sent only
to New York farmers sufficiently in
terested to make a special request

Provide for the future by planning
a small strawberry patch this spring.
The earlier sweet peas are sown the
larger the number OF flowers pro

In every case the trees should be
sprayed thoroughly and evenly to ac-
complish the best results.
Hardy hydrangeas bloom on the
current years growth. To grow large
heads cut the canes back heavily.
To kill the San Jose scale spray the
trees with lime-sulphur wash, or a

Asters can be planted in rows OF

used in each row.
The best strawberry fertilizer should
be one containing eight per cent. OF

Ever Measure Thread7

A sealer of weights and measures
has been visiting drygoods stores dur
ing the past few days, and In each
one has purchased spool OF cotton.
for which he has paid three cents,
and invariably has found that the
amount of cotton does not measure as
much as is specified on the spool. Ac-
cording to specifications there should
be 200 yards on each spool. but the
measurements vary between 100 and
200.-Boston Transcript.

SO is the body, When cares, heavy

pera bound they weaken the body,

The Value Of the Separator,

The value OF the cream separator is
based on the amount 1t saves out Of
the loss of the cream that Is common
under the old or primitive methods.
Usually there Is loss of from 25 to
60 per cent Of the cream. The cream
separator saves this loss, and, COM
putting that under the average price
OF butter fat the cream separator Will
save the farmer $40 or more COW
per year, so we see that If the farm
er milks five or six COWS he saves
enough in one year to buy a cream
separator above the old methods.
