The High Dollar i'm Cows.

In later years dairying has de-
veloped into one of the best paying
departments of farming, with the
promise that through the use of bet
ter methods and improved appliances
it will become the leader as a money
maker. The issue of the Iowa Home
stead of March %, will contain many
instructive articles on all branches
of dairying that should be read by
every farmer. They are written by
experts. One of the strongest fea-
lures is the exhaustive treatment of
the silo questionable silo, silage
crops, putting up silage, the profit of
feeding silage, and the saving of for
age crops which it effects. The Iowa
Homestead and the Public Opinion
may both be secured at the very low
price of S1.75 per year. Leave sub

NIGHTwATCH GETS BURGLAR.
Captured and Goods Are
Recovered.

Nightwatch William Springer of
Lawler last Thursday night captur-
ed a burglar who was in the act of
tin in that town.
Sheriff Russell had tipped off to
the Lawler official that burglars were
in this part of the country and re-
quested a sharp lookout for them.
1t was about 900 o'clock in the
morning when Nightwatch Springer
located the burglar in the restaur-
ant, and he took up a convenient
place to be ready for him when he
came out. Just as the thief left the
building by the back way, where he
had entered, the nightwatch stand
ing some thirty feet away, severed
him with shotgun. The command
to throw up his hands was not obey
ed in the fastest manner, and the mo-
ment's hesitation might have cost
him his life. However, second
thought convinced him it would be
wise to surrender. He was taken
into custody and later brought to
New Hampton and placed in charge
of the sheriff.
The man turned out to be resi-
dent of Lawler, having moved there
from Austin, Mimi. only short time
ago. He gives his name as Hans
Bukowski, and he is foreigner,
probably Pole. He does not speak
nor understand English readily. He
admitted that he had pal and
the authorities are on the lookout
for the second burglar.
When Bukowski was captured he
had in his possession a number of
burglars tools and some four or five
dollars and some goods from Mar
tins restaurant. A search of his
house in Lawler disclosed lot more
of tools and goods which had evil
IDENTIFY been acquired in former raids.
Some of the stuff in the house is
from the stock of a hardware firm
of Calmar, whose store was entered
a few weeks ago.
Sheriff Tom Qualley of Winnie
shiek county came over Monday and
took part of the goods of the Calmar
back to the owners.
The officers believe the capture
will have the effect of breaking up
the gang of robbers that has been
operating this winter all the way
from Usage to Ossian and which is
known as the Growers Gulch gang.

TO BREAK UP COLD.
Some Advice That Will Save Time
and Money.

Strong drink and quinine may re-
lieve a cold, but it usually does more
harm than good.
To break up hard cold in either
head or chest thousands are using
this sensible treatment.
First of all look after your bowels;
If they need attention use any re-
liable cathartic. Then pour a scant
teaspoonful of Hyomei into bowl of
boiling water, cover head and bowl
with a towel and breathe for ) or
10 minutes the pleasant, soothing,
health vapor.
Do this just before going to bed
your head will feel fine and clear and
you'll awake from a refreshing sleep
minus a cold in the morning.
For colds, coughs, catarrh, asthma
and Group HYOMEI is guaranteed. A
fifty cent bottle is all you need to
break up a cold and this can be
obtained at e. j. Parmans and drug
gists everywhere.

SUCCESS WITH CABBAGE.
Iowa Farmer Explains How He
Secured $SS From One and
One-Half Acres.

Clear Lake, Ia, Mar 25.-Inten-
sive farming has one strong adher-
ent here in ID. H. Culver, who has
closed out the last of his crop of
cabbages. From one and one-half
acres of ground his income last sum-
mer was SSS3.SS gross, and the eX-
pense outside his own labor was
S125. Near his home last year this
acre and half of ground was going
to waste and he tried intensive farm
ing with cabbages.
He credits the big crop to the first
preparation of the soil. In spite of
the long dry summer his crop never
showed the need of moisture. His
method of preparation was first to
disk the ground thoroughly, then
drag it until he had the surface
finely powdered. The next process
was deep blowing. After this the
drag plank and disc treated the
ground twice each. This gave the
ground a seed bed as fine as powder
for a depth of more than twelve
inches, and all during the dry wealth
er Mr. Culver found the ground held
the moisture sufficiently to keep his
cabbage crop growing in first class
shape.
He was successful last year, and
found such market for his big crop
of cabbages that he is going to dou-
BILE up his acreage this year, and will
experiment with an acre of onions.

FOR BETTER CREAM.
Cream Should Test Better Than 80
Per Cent. Should Not be Kept
at Home too Long.
To Our Patrons:


We are trying to secure better
grade of cream at our creamery
for if we can make little better
butter we can easily sell it for more
money and this will enable this
creamery to pay much better prices
for butter fat than is the case now.
1t is a we'll established fact that
if any great increase in profits is
secured in the dairy business it must
come from the patrons side, for the
manufacturing side of the PROPOSE
ton has been so finely worked out
that but little more can be hoped
for in cheaper manufacturing.
1t would be very hard to lessen the
cost of manufacturing over very
small fraction of a cent, but it is
easily possible to lessen the loss OF
our creamery at least full cent per
pound of butter if we could secure
all nice sweet cream.
When the old oil test was in oper-
alton it was a well known fact that
cream which was quite sour would
churn out better than cream perfect
ly sweet. This has caused our pat
rons to deliver cream that was sour
in order to get better test How
ever with the test now in use Dab
cock), the opposite is more likely to
be the case. The Babcock test will
show the same amount of fat wheth-
er cream is sweet or sour, but in
the case where the cream is sour 1t
is hard to get a correct sample and
the patron sending sour cream is
more apt to get an irregular test.
Now while We are speaking of
tests it is well to mention that there
is but little use in sending cream
with a less test than 80 per cent
butter fat. Cream that is thin in
butter fat is more apt to sour than
richer cream, and also there is more
milk in it, and this is needed on the
farm. Also in the case where thin
cream is sent to the creamery it is
much more expensive to handle, as
it requires more ice to cool it, more
vat room to hold it, and more run
ming of the churns to churn it. All
of the above increase the cost of
manufacturing, and this of course is
paid by the patrons.
Another word on testing. A recent
law passed by the Iowa legislature
makes it necessary that any one oper-
ating a Babcock tester take out a
license. Before a license is given
the party must first pass an eXamin-
alton proving himself competent.
Should a creamery man misuse his
right to test cream the license is
revoked and this puts the dishonest
tester out of business. This should
guarantee the cream patron square
deal.
Now, in conclusion, | will give a
few simple rules for the care of
cream on the farm
First. Be very careful in milking
to see that no dirt gets into the
milk.
Second. Separate cream with a
clean separator.
Third. Cool cream as soon as pos
sible after skimming.
Fourth. Do not mix warm cream
with cold. Cool before mixing.
Fifth. Keep in place that is
free from bad odors, as cream alb
serbs odors very readily.
And last, but not my any means
least, do not keep cream too long
before sending it to the creamery.
Asking your earnest cooperation
in making this one of the best cream
cries in the state, | am,
Yours very truly,
n. o. BENDICKSON.
