POLICE UNABLE TO
CHECK THIEVES IN
NORTHWEST HOMES
Three More Robberies Re-
ported From Mt. Pleasant
Section.

The entire machinery Of the Police
Department was put in operation this
morning in n concerted effort to get
some trace of the thief or thieves who
have been perslstently robbing homes
and apartments in the northwest sec
ton of the city for more than two
months.
Four more robberles and one attempt-
ed robbery were added yesterday and
last night to the already long list
That the burglaries are the work Of
thief of more than ordinary ability
and resource Is indicated by the fact
that three robberies last night occurred
in a section of Mt Pleasant where an
extra force of police and detectives
have been on duty, for weeks in an eff
Practically all of the places have been
entered by means of duplicate keys,
although some of the houses and
apartments have been broken into by
'jimmying" doors and windows.
This Thief DiScriminates.
The thief has proved most discrimin-
ating in the carrying away of loot. Ar
ticles of value, but bulky and which
would be difficult to dispose of, have
been consistently passed up and only
iewelry and money taken. That this
method has been followed almost with
out exception leads the police to believe
of the same party.
The largest haul yesterday was at
the home of James w. Burrows, 2SJG
TWenty-etghth street northwest, whore
1ewelry valued at $50 and SIS in cash
was stolen. The house was entered by
means of a duplicate key, during the
absence of members of the family.
When Mrs. Burrows returned from a
trip downtown late in the afternoon,
she found that every room in the house
had been ranSacked.
The robberies occurred in Mt. Pleas
ant and Columbia Heights during the
herman. 15l1 Park road, was entered
by q duplicate key and iewelry valued
mt 800 stolen. The home of Gardner T..
johnson, 3003 Thirteenth street north
west, was entered by forcing the rear
window and articles valued at $50
taken.
Cellar Door Forced.
The home Of Mrs. William G. Hunt,
1347 Otis street, was ransacked, but
nothing stolen. Entrance was gained
by forcing the rear cellar Ioor. Mrs.
Hunt returned home about 10 o'clock.
and It is believed the thief was at work
when she came up the steps and that
he was frightened away before he had
chance to carry anything away.
An unsuccessful attempt was made
during the afternoon to rob the apart
ment of G. A. Davis, in the Russell
1888 Columbia road. Lillian Conrad, a
maid employed by Mrs. Davis, who
had been in the basement hanging up
come clothes, surprised the thief while
he was trying to unlock the door. The
man fled as she came up the steps.
The would-be thief was a white man
who wore a light gray overcoat and a
black derby hat.

southeast, reported to the police today

THE BUNDLE BEE
HOLDS HIS JOB

The humble bee is still the best
pollinator of red clover regardless of
efforts made to substitute machine
In it's place. Extensive experiments
carried on at the Iowa Experiment
station the past summer failed to
prove that any kind of mechanical
pollination will equal the work of the
bee. Eight sets of brushes, each set
having different fiber, were used at
different times in the day and with
varying amounts of pressure. Hand
manipulation. such as squeezing or
humping the clover heads was used.
A large horse machine with a brush
six feet wide was also used The re-
suits of the horse machine have not
been tabulated but all indications
point to the bee as winner against ii
and against the other devices. In no

weather. A tight shed, open to the
south, will furnish enough protection
ordinarily. If there are many colts on
the farm, grade them in lots accord
ing to size SO they will not knock each
other around too much. Keep feed
hunks away from corners SO that q
young may not be crowded against q

Hoof care is important, and every
six weeks or SO the colts feet should
be looked after. The little fellows

will twist the ankles and possibly hurt
them permanently. Only little trim

well cleaned.
This is a good season to begin
handling the colt to make him tract
able. Tame him while he is growing
and he will give much less trouble
next spring. With all this care treat
the colt kindly: kindness will bring
big interest on investment. :,
Audubon County journal. (Exira, Iowa) 1884-1993, 1912-01-11

With winter coming on, the Wean-
ling colt is entitled to more thought
full care than it has had SO far in his
short career. 1t must begin to have
liberal feeding; 1t must have provi-
sion for open air exercise throughout
the cold weather; it must have atten-
ton for its feet, and it must begin to
get its early training.
1t must be remembered that the
colt is growing rapidly now and there
fore needs plenty of feed of a bone
building nature. Corn is low in min
eral matter and protein and should not
form a very large proportion of the lit
tie fellows grain ration. Oats and
bran are excellent in the feed mix
lures. There is no better hay than
good bright clover, for 1t is high in
ash content and, contrary to some, is
not injurious to the wind of young
horses If it is not dusty.
Start the colt on grain while it is
still sucking. Moistened crushed oats
and bran are good for thus purpose.
After that ration there will be no
trouble in starting the colt on regular
grain feed. This is good time, also,
to start feeding clover hay In the
winter, after weaving, ration of one
fourth each of corn and bran and one
half of oats is good. Feed about one
pound daily per 100 pounds live
weight and divide 1t into two feeds.
Keep plenty Of clover hay in the man
gers at all times but keen the roug h.
age cleaned up SO it does not get
musty.
For exercise. provide good sized
open lot fenced with tight boards or
woven wire. Avoid barbed WIRE Iowa
farmers lose tens of thousands of dol
lars annually in wire-cut damage to
colts.
A closed barn will not be necessary
for the colts except in severe, stormy

In the Orchards This


Although several years in success
sion western apple growers have tried
their best to take the honors at the
national horticultural show for the
choicest Jonathan apples, the best all
round eating apple grown, they have
failed An Iowa man, A. S. Worth of
Mondamin, has defeated them in
every attempt.
This instance illustrates what Iowa
can do in apple growing when some
attention is given to the industry.
Prof. A. T. Erwin of Iowa State col
lege says that Iowa growers can pro-
duce as fine fruit as the growers of
any other state. The recent exhibit
OF boxed apples at the State Horti-
cultural society meeting in Des
Moines demonstrated that beyond all
doubt.
Iowa has year after year carried
off the very highest honors in nation
al apple shows" says Mr.. Erwin.
"That proves that soil and climate
here are adapted to commercial orch
arding. Moreover, we have men scat
tered here and there through the state
who have succeeded as orchardists.
know of one man who cleared up 49,.
500 on 38 acres in one crop, and he is
handling his orchard so he can do
that regularly. There are others do
ing as we'll l talked with a number
of western apple growers at the re-
cent national horticultural show who
said that if they had remained in
Iowa, where they formerly lived, and
had put as much time and energy into
orcharding here as in the west, they
would have succeeded even better.
There are several reasons why
oecharding is not generally recognized
as being profitable in Iowa.
First, too many orchards are start
Audubon County journal. (Exira, Iowa) 1884-1993, 1912-01-11

ed without an investigation as to
whether the location is suitable for
orcharding. Men seem to think that
it Is merely necessary to plant trees
anywhere and that they will produce.
That Is not true. Soil conditions must
be considered, and also the lay of the
land, and air drainage. The first two
may be all right, and yet If an orchard
is located where cold and damp air
regularly settles, it's trees will not
thrive. When such an orchard fails.
orcharding gets serious backset.
Second, too many orchards are
carelessly planted. know of one
man who set out 40 acres of trees a
number of years ago. He planted
them SO closely that today his orchard
is perfect jungle and of course it
has been a losing venture. His ex-
.perience likewise gives black eye
to the business
~ Third, only few orchards are
properly cared for and only a. few
men know how to market their fruit
properly. Most OF our orchards grow
haphazard and the fruit from them is
not put on the market attractively.
They make no profit for their owners,
and they hurt the reputation of orch
arding in Iowa.
Apple growing in Iowa can be
made a success, but busineGs princi-
pies and sound sense must be ap-
piled to it as we'll as to any other in
dustry. There has been too much
haphazard orcharding in the state. 1t
is time for putting the industry on a
sound basis. Thousands of dollars in
apples go to waste in Iowa every year
because of a lack of method in han
ding the crop. 1t is time to check
this loss"
