PENN ACADEMY WINS.
Defeats MarshaIItown High School
Five by Score Of 43 to Fl.

Defeats MarshaIltown High School
Five by Score Of 43 to Fl.
Tho Penn Academy basketball five,
chosen to represent the preparatory
schools Of Iowa to meet the state high
school champions for the academic
honors Of the state, defeated Marshall
town high school easily Friday night on
the floor Of the manual training build
ing by a score Of 43 to 21. The WIS.,
itors took an early lead and won
handily. Marshalltown made a credit
able showing considering that the Penn
team is composed of former high
school stars who are much larger and
heavier than the school boys. Willard,
McFarren and H. Dodds were the stars
of the visiting team from the stand
point of scoring, while Packer was the
principal point getters for the losers.
Packer played an aggressive game and
had the better Of mis- opponent. 1ndi-
vidually Marshalltown players played
a good game, but the team work was
not to be compared to that Of the vis-
itors. Stevens and Johnson played
brilliantly but We're handicapped by
opposing much heavier men.
Penn scored twenty-six points IN
the first half and Marshalltown scored
fourteen. The score of the second half
was II to 6. The guarding was closer
in the latter period. Packer gave
spectacular touch to the game by
throwing a beautiful field basket and
then dribbling across the floor for an
additional two points. The teams
lined up as follows:

Speers asked for . power rate for 3
cents per XIV. the citizens committee
walked down to the office of the cleo
trio light plant and the manager freely
signed up for ten years. In Marshall
town Mr.. Speers generates power with
his own plant because he would have
to pay 81 cents per k. W. for it from
the utility company.
Here is hoping that the increased
capitalization and enlargement Of the
Marshalltown Buggy Company may
result In continued advances. This
company. started by the aid Of many
public spirited citizens, has kept from
100 to $50 men employed in this city
for six years and it has been town
builder in its effect upon the COM
munity.
The suggestion made at the Mar
shalltown Club and greeted with ap-
plause at the Searchlight Club that the
Y. NJ. C. A. should be given a larger
and adequate building up town may
furnish the coming years work in Soc
ial betterment. Boys work, dormitory
accommodation for young men. gym
nasium and swimming pool for bust
ness men and all men could be greatly
enlarged II the building were up town
and adequate for its requirements.

GREEN RYETO
COWS AND HORSES
Feeding Should BE In Hands OF
Careful Man and Not Given
to Boys of q Care
less Hand,

Green rye may be fed as soon as II
heads out; there is then the most
nourishment in the stalks. Cut when
free from dew, and let 1t wilt few
hours before feeding Feed small
quantities at first. A half forkful may
be given to each COW after the hay
has been eaten. When fed thus there
is no danger of bloat or hoven. The
feeding of green feed to cattle should
be In the hands Of a careful man, and
not given to boys or careless hand
Attention to this rule will frequently
save the life of a valuable cow.
Horses at work should not be given
green feed. as it Is liable to produce
collie. Cows should not be turned out
to pasture too early. Wait until the
grass has made some growth. and
there is some /, nonrishment in the
grass Before turning out to grass
give the cows a feed of hay or straw
first. After the hay is eaten they arc
turned on the pasture. For the first
day or two let them Craze one or two
hours. When the cows are accus
toned to the change they may remain
out all day. Experienced dairymen
feed a small grain ration throughout
the grazing season. II you are getting
is cents per gallon for milk. 1t will
pay to do this.

cured with the pigs, Is to train them to

Weaving time is from six to twelve

In no case will 1t be found advisable
to expect pigs to make profitable
growth on pasture alone. At the age.

very rapid and his most profitable
growth. 1t takes fifty per cent. more

CEMENT TANKS
TO DIP SWINE
Directions Given for Constructions
Of Basin Found Entirely
Satisfactory by
I1linoisan.
(By W. II uNDERwooD.,)

Last spring made a, cement dip
ping tank for my hogs which has
proven very satisfactory, and will give
the instructions for making same so
that If anyone desires to do so he can
make one for himself.
dug. a hole II feet long on top, 5
feet long on the bottom. straight at
one end and sloping across the 6 feet
at the other, 26 inches wide at the
bottom. 80 inches at the top and AZ
feet deep.
then made a wooden frame Of
boards inches smaller every way
than the hole and filled in the space
all around with cement. using three
parts sand to one part cement.
After 1t had set "a hours, took out
the wooden frame. made wooden
cleat steps at the sloping end for the
hogs to walk out on, My hogs were
covered with lice last spring and
had tried all remedies heard of to get
rid of them dipped the hogs at in
teryals of about month and noted a
marked change In their condition as
to skin and health.
A neighbor Of miae has dipping
tank somewhat similar to mine. He
dug a hole feet wide at the top and
5 feet long; and at the bottom Is
inches wide and IA feet long. making
the hole 3 feet deep straight up and
down at one end with a gradual in,
cline for the hogs to walk out at the
other.
Then he took cement. mixing ii in
proportion of one part of cement to
four parts sand, and plastered this
oyer like a cistern, plastering the ce.
ment directly on the dirt After this
coating OF cement had thoroughly set
he washed the inside with pure ce.
ment. to make 1t absolutely tight.
Whether it Is safe to plaster the
cement directly on the dirt. as done
by my neighbor, depends on the char.
acter Of the soil. Ordinarily | think
my plan the better: that is. to build
the frame six inches smaller than the
hole and fiji in the space all around
with cement.
1t will pay every farmer who raises
