TIE democratic ticket. He was one of
the executors of the estate of the late
Samuel ]. Tilden and was one of the
creators of the public library of New
York, which was made possible under
the Tilden will. Mr.. Bigelow for
many years served as president Of the
library board of trustees.
For more than 30 years Mr.. Bigelow
lived quietly in his New York home,
with an occasional stay at his farm.
He was fond in late years of receiving
cid acquaintances and recalling old
times. He was wont to say, All my
contemporaries have passed out, but
l have not let that interfere with my
interest in the world"
Mr.. Bigelow liked to discuss the
enormous growth of certain compan-
les he had seen started on almost
nothing. Occasionally he would re-
peat list of all the inventions and
discoveries he had seen made, and
1t was well that he did not know all
OF them, for the list of in yentions and
discoveries made in his time was an
endless one.
His last real hard work was that
done on a life of Samuel ]. Tilden in
two volumes, which was published in
1895. A short time ago he published
his memoirs, a volume containing
many interesting "reminiscences of the
last century and the prominent public
people that figured in :hose times.

absolutely the most successful dram

Proof of this is furnished in part by
the fact that the book is now in it's
50th year, having outlived thous-
ands of works which have been CIV

Venerable Diplomat and Author
Had Lived Through Many
Great Changes.
EXECUTES WILL OF TlLDEN
Born I'm 1917, He Witnesses Scores
OF Inventions and Discoveries
in Time.

New York, Dec. 21.-The life Of
John Bigelow who died Tuesday was
like double link that bound three
centuries together. He lived through
the entire 18th century excepting for
the II years that preceded the date
Of his birth on Nov. 25. 1917. He cut
into the second decade OF the goth
century, and the friends If his young
manhood were many of them men
who were personally acquainted with
the heroes Of the American revolution
and the chief actors in the European
drama Of the 18th century.
Mr.. Bigelow was 25 years old when
Wellington died, and was a child Of
when Napoleon Bonaparte passed
away at Helena. He could remember
hearing the speech of Daniel Webster
at Niblo's garden. He grew up sur
rounded by men and women who could
remember the battle of Bunker Hill
and who saw the republic born. He
was admitted to the practice of law
at the bar Of New York nearly twenty
FIVE years before the beginning of the
civil war. He lived TO see every coun-
try in Europe changed into a constitu-
tional monarchy.
OF OLD COLONIsT STOCK.
Mr.. Bigelow was born at Saugerties,
town OF New York. His family came
TO New England with the earliest col
onists and settled in Massachusetts,
he forfn h., L.
father of 13 children. he was the
hardest blacksmith in all the coun-
try round, and he passed down his
robust strength of mind and body to
his children. From father to son
came this goodly inheritance until 1t
reached Asa Bigelow, the father of
the future diplomatist, journalist and
author.
Mr.. Bigelow was graduated from
Union college in 1885 and soon there
after he took up The study of law in
the Office Of Judge Bonney. He was
meanwhile preparing himself for his
career in newspaper work by writing
contributions for various journals, in
Guiding the New York Review, the
WV iAIk ENtulllk rust the new
York World and the Daily News. His
articles attacking the institution OF
slavery were among the very best
published on that difficult topic.
In 1S4S Mr.. Bigelow was an active
supporter OF Martin Van Buren,, the
free soller. and his writings in that
campaign drew from William Cullen
Bryant an invitation to join the poet
in the management and ownership OF
the New York Evening Post. He re
sponded by purchasing a third inter.
est in the paper. and under his man
agement the property increased its in
come from $4,000 a year to $4,000 in
10 years. In 1860 Mr.. Rlgelow sold
his interest to Parke Goodwin and &C
cepted the consulship to Faris from
President Lincoln.

is looked upon as interfering with the

a delegation of youthful residents of
Kansas City win call upon the magis-
trate and ask him to reconsider that
rate and make the fine ten cents in
stead, in order that the gate stealing
pastime may be placed within the
reach OF the common people.

Iowa's Winter Wheat Crop.

Iowa farmers are learning from
experience that winter wheat is a
profitable crop when properly grown.
Iowa's best crop this season, except
on parts of eastern Iowa, where corn
did we'll, was winter wheat. Reports
are plenty of yields as high as 40
bushels per acre. The average yield
per acre for the state will be unusual
ly satisfactory. In sections where the
dry weather hit every other crop
hard, winter wheat gave nice returns.
The growing of winter wheat has
advanced by laps and bounds in the
past five or six years. The yield
has increased more than 100000
bushels per year since 1904. That
year the production was just trifle
over 100000 bushels. In 1909 it
exceeded 3,261,0OO bushels. In 1904
there was about times as much
spring wheat as winter wheat in
yield; in 1909, only about 100000
bushels more. The acreage of winter
wheat the coming season promises to
break all records.

He was the originator of the "loop-the-

Clarke's real name was Charles
Clarke Bunting. He was born in Ten

went to Kansas City to live. After
taking medical degree at the Univer-
sity Of Chicago he practiced in Kansas
City until he was 81 years old. When
the bicycle first came into common use
he became 20 proficient in trick rid

well as did the older hogs.


8. Hogs Of all ages relished soak.
Cd corn meal and usually ate large,
quantities Of it than of corn in any
other form. While the gains on this
ration were among the best for
young hogs, and as a rule better
than with any other form of corn
for hogs over 200 pounds in weight,
these gains were also among the most
expensive produced by any form Of
corn fed in these experiments.
8. Hogs ranging upward from 200
pounds in weight ate dry corn meal
readily. They made more rapid gains
on it and a little more pork from
o,ch bushel of corn than on dry ear
corn, but after paying 8 cents per
bushel for Smelling and grinding, the
gains were more expensive with dry
corn meal than with dry ear corn
except for the oldest hogs with corn
above 40 cents per bushel in price.
That dry corn in the ear is the
best corn ration for hogs up to 200
pounds ought to be gratifying fact
to the Iowa farmer. II he had to
grind his corn to get the best results
from feeding it, the cost would be
large. Estimating that Iowa farmers
feed their hogs something like
1O0,O00,O00 bushels annually, it would
cost them at least $4,000, 900 to grind
that much feed, figuring the cost at
3 cents per bushel. That means a
saving Of $s,o00,oo0 for the SCOOP
shovel method, to say nothing Of ths
large saving In time and labor.
