ITALIANS INJURIES
PROVE FATAL
Dies This Morning at the Sawyer
Sanatorium.

Tony Lombardo, the Italian section
man who was injured along the Hook

ly this morning at the Sawyer sana-
torium on south Main street. 1t was
necessary to amputate his left leg,
which was badly crushed by freight
engine, and the man was not able 10
stand the operation. He was weak
from the loss of blood and died short
ly after the amputation was made.
Lumbardo was about forty years OF
age and II was learned today that ho
leaves a wife and family in Italy
The funeral will be held In the st
Mary's church at 8 o'clock Monday

So far as Senator f. H. Finne-
frocit, Oh PROSPECT. il ,coneerned, There
will he no debate on the peal BIZ
at the Calvary Evangelical church
in this city sunday afternoon, Several
days ago 1t was claimed that a chal-
lenge to debate had been sent to
Mr.. Finnefrock. 1t was charged that
he stood with the vets on the Dean
bill and. was opposed to all dry Iegis
Iation.
In reply to this Mr.. Finnefrocb
stated to the Mirror today that he
had absolutely received no message
of the kind described and the only
knowledge he had of the matter was
through generally accepted rumor on
the streets.
The Senator rather resents the
position the Marion ministers take in
the matter as he does not wish to
be understood as standing rigidly for
the vets or for the drys "When
vote on n question. vote the way
,believe;. the way Il Think the ma jor,
ity of my constituents would have
me vote. and the way believe to be
the best for the interests of the peo-
pie of Ohio" he declared.
The fact that he voted for the
Dean, bin doesn't necessarily indicate
that he is unalterably opposed 70 all
temperance legislatlonj Is the position
the Senator assumes. Further than
this he does not assume to be pub
lie speaker, nor debater; he be-
lieves his record will stand investi-
cation and is simply doing his duty
as 1t appears to him, so he claims.
For these reasons the senator will
not debate the Dean bill nor any
other. His work lies In the general
assembly and here he says he Is try
Ing to do II to the best of his ability
and to the satisfaction of his con-
stituents. Wherefore there will
probably, be no debate.

sey Importations

Iowa is fairly on the way to be-
ney dairy cattle. A very large per-
centage of the choice Guernsey and
Attorney bulls and COWS imported
this year have found their way to Iowa
dairy barns-more than third of
them up to the time of the last gov
eminent report on the Importation
of pure-bred cattle for 1911. In the
first three months of the year three
bulls and Is cows were imported
from the Isle of Attorney; all of
the bulls and 10 of the COWS were
brought over by an Iowa man, w. w.
Marsh of Waterloo, and found their
way to Iowa. In the same period 80
and more than half, or IL, to be eX-
act, were imported by the same man.
In that same period 232 Guernsey
COWS were imported, and so of them
by Mr.. Marsh, or more than a third
Some of these fine dairy animals will
be sold out of the state, of course,
but enough Of them will be kept here
to make splendid showing for Iowa
in this class of dairy cattle. British
dairymen complain that American
dairymen have stripped the isles of
Guernsey and Attorney of available
breeding animals and that hardly any
are to be bought now, even at the
highest prices. This American inva-
sion, prompted by the high popular
ity Of these breeds, has forced prices
up. One British breeders journal
says that whereas Guernsey COWS
were once to be bought for something
like $500, they cannot now be bought
for much less than $500.

BEST PRODUCING DAIRY cow
Farmer Should Select Animal Giving
Most MiIk-HoIsteins Jerseys
and Guernssys Popular.

The impartial and most authentic
records seem to show that the Hol-
stems produce milk more cheaply
than the others, and that Jerseys and
Guernseys produce butter at less cost
for feed; but it is within the observa-
ton of almost every practical dairy
man that the most profitable COWS in
almost any breed are infinitely better
than the poorest in other breeds.
1t is our opinion based on long ex-
perience in the dairy business that
there is quite as much room for choice
within any breed as there is between
breeds, and hence, that it is not
enough to adopt particular breed,
says writer in the Baltimore Ameri-
can. An authority says: "Be sure to
have animals of distinctive dairy
form and temperament, see that they
have the in-curving thigh, the high
arching flank, the rising pelvic arch,
the clear eye and general makeup
that denotes Ugh courage and endur-
ance. The dairy COW should be deep
through the flank, with square udder
running we'll forward under the stom-
ach and well up between the thighs,
with teats good length and squarely
placed. In the flank just above the
udder is what is known as the milk
gland, which is easily found in every
good COW.
The real test, however, is the guam.
tity and quality of milk she will give
in a year; hence if you would know
your cows, better test them and know
for certainty which are paying a
profit and which are being kept at a
loss. Weigh and test the milk of each
cow Practical dairymen weigh the
milk Of each cow daily and keep q
record of her yield. The foundation
of a dairy herd is the sire. Select one
that has been bred with reference to
milk production. Such have power to
transmit their characteristics to their
offspring with almost increasing Ger
tainty.

An investment in corn picker
should be given careful consideration
before being made. 1t would be we'll
to consider first, the amount of work
that one would have for the machine,
and the amount of work the machine
would do. 1t would not be wise In
vestment for the small corn grower
unless he could husk corn for his
neighbors and be paid either SO much
per bushel or per acre.
In considering the economic side of
the investment it might be we'll to
have common basis of comparison
between the corn picker and the hand
husker. For this basis let us take
the average acreage of corn for each
Iowa farmer and the average yield
per acre for the last ten years. The
average acreage is 40 acre field,
and the yield approximately SO
bushels, or a total of 1920 bushels. In
picking the corn by hand the average
man would pick 60 bushels per day.
His wages would be cents per BUSH
ell or $60.S0. Ateam and wagon ought
to be worth one dollar day. If the
man picked so bushels day it would
take him rs days to finish the field, so
that the cost Of the team and wagon
would be $25. This would make the
total cost of picking $50 or $2.15 per
acre. If corn picker husker was
used, the cost of the machine would be
close to $3.50. 1t ought to last for ten
years, making the yearly cost $25.
The interest on the investment and
the repairs, would amount to about
$40 annually. The cost of 3 men, A
teams and 2 wagons to operate the
machine and take care of the corn,
would amount to IS per day. Nine
acres Of corn should be picked by the
corn picker daily making the time re-

PROPER FOOD FOR THE DUCKS
Correct Selection Is Extremely Inn
portant to Secure Rapid GROWTH
Pure Water Is Essential.

The food of the duck is both vege-
table and animal in nature. Ia the
wild state the duck gets it's food from
the brooks and marshes. This con-
sists of small fish, water insects, etc.
When the birds are raised in conf1ne-
ment this diet must in measure be
initiated to get he most satisfactory
results. The duAz has no crop. Its
food passes directly from the throat
to the gizzard AS consequence the
food must be in soft, mushy state.
Too much hard food, such as grain
does not agree with ducks, which
cannot be made to thrive when so
fed. While some raisers use small
allowance of grain, others do not,
and it has not been proved to be of
any advantage to feed grain. Soft food
is the natural diet. 1t may be im,i-
tated with grasses, vegetables and
animal food.
The proper selection of food is ex-
tremely important to secure the rapid
growth of the duck and the ingre-
dents must be such as will form a

AS whole, it may be said that the
rations used by the largest duck rails

only in proportions used in mixing
Investigation shows the real value OF
food to be the same for producing
rapid growth and early development
The ducklings grow twice as rapidly
and are much heavier eaters than the
ducks, and to produce best results the
food must be such as may be easily
assimilated.
Pure water is Of the greatest i'm
portance for ducklings. 1t is often
a good plan to give water before
feeding. Let the ducklings find water
fountains as soon as they are placed
in the brooder. Water to drink should
be kept before the little birds all the
time, as they will drink and waste 6

PROFIT IN
SILAGE
By HOWARD VAUGHN in the
Iowa Agriculturist

Silage is worth at least three dollars
per ton. This is the value placed on
it by many feeders and determined in
carefully conducted Investigations at
various experiment stations. Good
corn land will produce fifteen tons of
silage per acre. This means return
of forty-five dollars from every acre
of corn put into the silo. Assume a
land rental of five dollars, which is
certainly enough, and there remains
forty dollar profit per acre.
The farmer who has twenty-five or
thirty COWS can use a silo about 14x36
feet in size, holding approximately
100 tons. This will take the yield of
eight acres, each returning a profit OF
forty dollars. Silo manufacturers will
agree to put up good silos OF the
above size for less than $500. Obvious
ly, then, 1t is possible to pay for silo
by one years use-and that Is making
100 per cent on your money in one
year. This is not possible only on
paper; it has been shown practicable
by many progressive farmers.
The idea that silage is profitable
only for dairy cattle is fast being dis
proven. The Iowa and Illinois expert
ment stations have fed silage to fat
tening steers with very favorable re-
suits from the standpoint of economy.
The Iowa station found that it is pos
sible to put on gains at cost of six
cents per pound and even less when
silage is used. This Is to be COM
pared with cost of at least eight or
| nine cents when silage is not fed.
| Sheep and dry cows can be wintered
on silage and clover hay with prac-
tically no additional feed. The use of
| silage in the ration for fattening cat
tie makes 1t possible to use cotton
seed meal in the place of oilmeal to
supply the protein and thus reduces
the cost of the concentrates that have
to be purchased off the farm.

CURED for picking AZ days, or ap
proximately days. This then would
make total cost of $77 or $1.92 per
acre, which would mean direct saw
ing of 20 cents per acre or 1920 on
the 40 acre field. With large acre.
age and greater yield the corn pick
er would show up to much better ad-
| vantage.
However, the corn picker is not so
much money saver as time saver,
because men can be employed to take
care of the hauling of the corn, who
perhaps could not husk over 40 bush
els per day. In addition to this the
cattle could be turned into the field
earlier and thus have plenty Of time
| to make use Of the roughage before
the first snow.
Let us now consider the disadvan-
tages of the corn picker; first Of all,
| 1T requires considerable amount Of
motive power. II the corn is lodged
then more or less of the ears are left
by the machine. 1t shells some Of
the corn and breaks down the stalks
SO that they are practically destroy
ed unless the cattle are let into the
field before the snow falls. More
husks are left on the ears than when
they are picked by hand, which makes
the corn more liable to mold In the
crib, and also makes greater attrac;
ton for rats and mice. Again, for sell.
ing purposes corn needs to be huskedl
cleaner In order to command better
price.
The corn pickers are still more or
less experimental and the farmers
ought to be little cautious before In
vesting. Where the corn stands up
we'll. where there are long rows. and
where the ground is dry and firm.
! they are success.

"A Typical 1911
Feeding Problem

Writing to the Iowa Agriculturist,
Iowa State college, Ames, a Henry
county farmer asks these questions:
II have car Of 1,00O-pound steers;
pasture Is all dried up and | am feed
Ing shelled corn, but the cattle are
not gaining. Shall l feed green corn,
and If so, how would you advise me
to feed it? My hogs have no grass.
What shall do with them?"
These questions were answered as
follows by j. M. Evvard of the Iowa
Agricultural Experiment station:
Green forage corn, under these
conditions, can be fed very profitably
to the cattle and to the hogs. Much
care must be taken in starting the
cattle over, however. Begin slowly
by allowing the steers a stalk each
the first day, two the second and
third, three the fourth and fifth. and
80 on, increasing the quantity a stalk
with the attached ear every two days.
Thin cattle having feed of grass
only are more difficult to put en-
green feed than cattle fed a liberal
allowance of shelled corn as this
Henry county farmer Is feeding. The
hogs can be fed along with the steers
and during the period of getting on
green feed they had best be fed lib
orally of grain to keep them from
oyereating on green forage. The ad
vantage of feeding grain along with
green corn is that securing is much
less likely to take place, due to ami
mails not taking gorge of green feed
because the dry shelled corn takes
up some Of the stomach space anc
slackens the appetite somewhat fo,
green corn.
I'VE have had very good success a,
tho Iowa station with feeding a lit
tie tankage or meat meal to the hogs
following cattle. A third of pound
per hog daily along with the greer
and shelled corn is enough to make
gains faster and more profitable. Il
is good pasture substitute.
Green corn forage is very similar
IN composition to silage The greatest
difference Is the water content-greer
corn running close to So per cent, ant
good silage not more than IS pe1
cent. Comparing these feeding stuffs
100 pounds of green corn rs equal t.
about SO pounds of silage. And silage
rs recognized through merit as a grea,
cattle feed.'

KIDDING PIGS
OF WORMS
By w. H. PEW. Department of Animal
Husbandry, Iowa State College

Numerous Inquiries are coming in
to the college for remedies for worms
in pigs. They may be disposed of in
any one of several ways that are al
together satisfactory If properly fol-
lowed. One effective method which
have used and which can recon-
mend is as follows:
Divide the pigs into lots of four
or five each. Starve them for at
least ~ hours, and probably better
"a hours. Give them a dose of tur-
pentine to the amount of one tea
spoonful for every so to 100 pounds
of live weight. Put the turpentine in
skim milk, using just enough milk
to make sure that the pigs will clean
it up thoroughly. Mix the turpentine
and milk we'll Repeat this dose dali
ly until three doses are given.
Some have had excellent success
by mixing sulphate of iron in the
slop at the rate of one-half pound for
100 pigs and repeating five times in
succession.
In our experiment station at Ames
lH0 most eI6CtlVe method OF Kidding
the station herd of spring pigs Of in.
testinal worms was as follows:
We divided the pigs into lots OF
| five to ten and starved them as above
from IL to "a hours. Then we FED
| them in the morning with a feeG
mixed with this medicine: We had
| the druggist put UP santonin and cal
omel in powders large enough for the
lots of five to ten pigs at the rate
OF five grains of calomel and eigh
grains of santonin for every 10(
| pounds of live weight. We put thes.
| powders in slop of ground feed anc
| mixed thoroughly so that each pis
| had it's share of the medicine
The calomel was given for physic
but in some cases it may be neces
sary to give raw linseed oil in th,
feed to accomplish that result l
may be necessary to repeat the dos
of calomel and santonin in two Of
three days.

For Separator Users.

Professor T. A. Hacker gives the
following suggestions for the users OF
cream separators:
1. Locate the separator on a solid
foundation in place free from dust
2. For the best results separate
the milk as soon after milking as pos.
sible.
3. Cool the cream after it has been
separated and feed the milk while ii
is warm.
4. Never put warm cream into old
cream until the new has been cooled
and stirred.
5. Cold milk will not separate as
completely as warm milk.
