Beware of New Corn.

! Farmers and DrOvers' Journal: The
heavy percentage of risk from disease
among hogs at this time of the year
is sufficient to justify every farmer in
taking certain precautions. Feeding
new corn endangers the life of the
porcine crop, and mortality in hogs
means big loss in the seasons earn
ings. Better adopt the safest means
of keeping the hogs in good condition
by feeding the old ocrn and give the
new crop an opportunity to thorough
ly dry before using any of it.
Hogs which have gorged themselves
with new corn often become suddenly
ill. Often the illness is believed to
be cholera, and alarming rumors of
cholera contagion spread like wildfire
over the community and there is a
heavy exodus of hogs from feed yards
to market.
| Every year at this time and for sew
eral weeks in October there is large
percentage of sick hogs at market.
Not all of them are young hogs, either
since too many unwise farmers begin
to feed the matured nogs new corn as
soon as 1t appears to them to be ripe.
Green corn feeding is not farming
economy. It's farming waste. II
brings sickness among the hogs and
means financial loss to the hog
grower
II your old corn Is about gone and
you have a crop of hogs which you
are finishing for market. buy some
old from your neighbors. Don't take
chances on feeding the new corn until
the danger of disease developing from

HURT IN RUNAWAY.
Horse Becomes Frightened at Street
Car and Dumps Occupants.

A very exciting runaway which
might have proved serious, occurred
Sunday morning about eight o'clock
on High avenue East A young man
by the name of McCannon, who lives
about four miles east of town, and
his sister were coming into town to
attend the early services at the Cath
Ole church. They were driving a
young horse and it SHE'D at the street
car, causing one of the patent shaft
fasteners, which they had on the bug
gy, to come unfastened and let the
shaft drop down. This excited the
horse and he ran away, turning the
corner of High avenue and Second
street. The buggy hit the telephone
post on the corner and capsized,
throwing the occupants out. The
young lady was not hurt. but the boy
was not so fortunate. He was bruis-
ed up considerably and rendered I'M
conscious. He was carried into the
Long and Berdiner house across the
street south of the Y. M. c. A. and
DR.. Barnes was called. An eXamina-
ton showed that no bones were brok-
en-. but he was skinned up and
bruised quite bit.

BARN is BURNED.
Origin of Fire Which Destroyed Pro
perty of Tom Neagle Unknown.

Fire this afternoon at about 1870
almost completely destroyed the barn
at the Thos. Neagle residence, 406
Third avenue East C. Yer Ploeg was
just starting to his office after din
ner when he noticed smoke and flames
coming from the Neagle barn. He
went back in the house and turned in
the alarm, but before the fire depart
lment arrived on the scene the flames
were beyound control. The flames
from the burning barn caught the
barn across the alley on the Marks
place also and it was a great fight to
keep it from being destroyed. AS 1t
was. there probably will be about
800 damages to that barn. The orr
gin of the fire is unknown, as there
was no fire around when the boy who
drives McCurdy & Co.'S team, which
is kept there, took the horses out af.
ter dinner. .dr Neagie carried $500
insurance on the building, but it is
probable that the los will be in eX.
cess of that amount.

Law TO BE HELD UP
HITCHCOCK WILL DELAY EN-.
FORCING PUBLICITY" BILL.
Awaits Legal opIaion From Attorney
General as to Authority Of Con-
., srsss--Newspapsr Protest, a. &,

Washington, Sept, 23.-FIank H..
Hitchcock, postmaster general, has
decided not TO attempt to enforce the
so-called newspaper publicity" sec
ton of the new post office apprspria-
ton bill without on opinion from At.
torney General Wickersham as to
what 1t means, and as to the authority
OF congress under the Constitution to
make the requirements of newspa-
pers, magazine and other periodicals
set forth in the section.
A serious question has arisen as to
the right OF congress to require news
papers and periodicals to furnish in
formation about copies which do not
enter the mails, but which circulate
merely in single city or town by
private carriers or newsboys.
In addition to this it is doubtful
whether that paragraph which pro.
hibits newspapers and periodicals
from printing any editorial or read
ing matter for which money or any
other valuable consideration has been
paid or promised, without marking 1t
plainly advertisement" is not a seri
Gus infringement of the liberty of the
press.
This is being bitterly opposed by
hundreds of small newspapers
throughout the country who do not
believe that congress has any right to
interfere with their business to such
an extent. Thousands of letters are
pouring in upon the post Office de
partment, asking questions about the
meaning of the new provision of law
of which nobody seems willing to ad
NIT the fatherhood.
Mr.. Hitchcock says frankly that he
not only did not recommend it to con
gress, but he was opposed to its en-
actment.
