WHITE FEATHER POULTRY
RANCH

Poultry and eggs are out of sight
and still going up and there is nc
appearance of any surplus in the
market All farms have some scrub
hens. that lay from so to IS eggs a
year. Do you know it costs just the
same to keep hen that lays so to Is
eggs per year as one that lays 225 to
ESQ? 1t is just as easy to raise the
best as the scrub. Your old man
don't raise scrub hogs, cattle or
horses any more. Wimmen, why
raise scrub chickens?
Lacey & Hickey have the best in
the world-the White Leghorn. We
have the finest strains for size, shape
and laying qualities. We have bred
up for egg producers and no hen that
produces less than 200 eggs per year
is used for breeding purposes at our
ranch. We have over 1900 as fine
birds as there are in the world and
from them have selected our breed
ing stock. Get the hen and egg habit
and get it bad. You won't regret it.
Buy your eggs at home where a
guaranty amounts to something. We
have the finest in the land. Eggs
$50 for Is; $500 per 100. Get
into the band wagon and have poultry
at home that you will be proud Of
When you have single ,combed White
Leghorns you do not need peacocks

LOCUST IS DUE AGAIN
Seventeen Year Variety Likely to
be Numerous This Year.

The seventeen-year locust is due to
appear in Iowa again this season. r.
l.. Webster, assistant entomologist OF
the Iowa experiment station, says con
fidently that it may be expected.
Just as surely as 1895 plus seven
teen equals 1912, just as surely" says
MI. Webster, the locust will visit
the state again this year"
According to Professor Webster
however, no extreme or serious dam
age is to be expected from the seven
teen year locust, even though it may
appear in considerable numbers. Its
chief injury is done to young trees
on which the females deposit their
eggs, stunning the growth, OF the
branches and twigs.
Farmers, fruit growers and nurs
erymen who expect to plant trees
this spring" says Mr.. Webster
ought to take some preventative
measures against the seventeen-year
locust. Trees are especially liable to
injury when set near timber or OH
recently cleared ground. Trees set
in such places either should be cut
severely back at the start so as to
leave no tempting places for the To-
Gust to lay its eggs, or else they
should be cut back little or not at all
until after the first of July, when the
locusts have disappeared"
According to Mr.. Webster, the sew.
enteen-year locust will appear chief
ly in the central. south central and
the southeastern parts of the state be-
cause these are the districts, chiefly
infested at the last visitation in 1895.
The young locust should appear
about the last week in May and re-
main about a month, disappearing
about the first of July. They have
been in the soil now ever since 1895.
After they were hatched that year
from the eggs deposited on the twigs
and branches of the trees, the young
locusts or jnymphs, as they are called,
dropped to the ground and made
their way into it. They have lived in
the ground continuously ever since.

RUSSIAN CAVIARE FROM IOWA
MISSISSIPPI RIVER PRODUCT
SELLS WELL ON MARKET.
Fishermen Find Industry Profitable
and Business Is Growing
Rapidly.

McGregor, Ia, March Especial:
When 1t is shipped away from the
Iowa, Wisconsin and Minnesota towns
along the upper Mississippi, a Jet
black mass Of tiny, shiny, gelatinous
globules, the pals or kegs in which it
is packed are labeled sturgeon roe"
BY the time the product has reached
its destination and is gracing a plat
ter in New York, London or Paris
restaurant it has become Russian
caviare." ~ .a@.Giy VIZ
The deception is an innocent one,
since the roe of the Mississippi stur-
geon has been found to be quite equal
in delicacy and flavor to that obtain.
ed from the surgeons of the Don and
DDieper In Russia. The Mississippi
product. being newer on the market.
however, sells better under the old
familiar name.
For many years Russian fishermen
have made millions Of dollars annual.
'ly gathering and preparing caviare.
The sturgeon lives in the northern
stretches Of the Father of Waters in
enormous numbers, but it was not un.
til about two years ago that Missis.
sippi fishermen, Selling the cue OF
, their Russian brethren, took up roe
gathering as a side line. They have
found it immensely profitable and the
industry is fast taking on good-sized
proportions.
The roe can" is part of every
fishermans outfit and local dealers
along the river report that last year
they on the average marketed 1900
to 5000 pounds of the product. A
quarter million pounds probably is a
low estimate of the total yield. A
good deal of it was shipped abroad
as Americans have not acquired the
caviare habit to the same extent that
the people of a number of European
countries have.
The sturgeon, be it Russian or a ma
tive of the Mississippi, is enormously
prolific. Three million ova is about
the average production of a female
in a season. Not infrequently one
third of the weight of a sturgeon is
found to be roe. One caught by A
McGregor fisherman last fall weighed
fifty pounds. 1t contained seventeen
pounds of spawn. The roe sold for
$14.50. The dressed fish brought
$3.50, making a total return to the
fisherman of $3.50, or about % cents
a pound for his fish live weight.

THE ARTISTS COURSE
Closing Entertainment Delights a
Large Audience.

An entertainment of rare character
was presented at Central NJ. E. church
Friday evening by Frank II. Shaw, or
ganist, and Julia Seller Shaw, violin
list, in the last of a series of splendid
and classy musical programs known
as the Penn College Artists Course,
made possible through the enterprise
of Howard L. Hoekett, head of Penn
College musical department.
OskalooSa people who admire pipe
organ composition have long desired
opportunity, of hearing another pro-
fessional recital. Dedication programs
are given for the Inauguration of a
new organ generally that ends the
special programs for that particular
instrument. This opportunity was
granted Friday evening in the pres.
ence of Mr.. Shaw, who is among the
best performers of the day. One very
unsatisfactory feature about his play
ing, however, was prominent-tbere
was not enough of 1t. All selections
were eminet organ compositions and
themes and Mr.. Shaw's handling was
artistic. Few pipe organs are alike
and some instruments make the hand
ling OF comprehensive theme ex-
tremely difficult where other organs
give easy response. The Methodist
church organ is not a large instru.
ment, but Mr.. Shaw brought out COM
binations and effects last evening that
were surprise to those who hav
been accustomed to hear the organ
day after day In the usual work of
the service. All of his selections
were OF difficult class. The artist won
much applause, but did not respond
with encores, to the disappointment
OF many In the audience. -.

QUAIL And PHEASANT
Survive Cold Weather and Are Said
to be Plentiful.

The recent severe winter has not
been as hard on the game in Iowa as
was anticipated, according to State
Fish and Game Warden George A.
Lincoln.
There have been several reports
of quail being frozen" said Mr.. Lin.
coin in an interview at Cedar Rapids,
zone coming from the vicinity of Wat.
erloo and one from near oskaloosa,
in which the whole flock were frozen,
but these are the only two cases
known. One pheasant was found
dead near Cedar Rapids, but this
might have been caused by flying
against an obstruction in storm. or
possibly might. have frozen. General
ly, however, the game birds have
stood the winter we'll. ,tg e. .....
Some difficulty is being experience
ed in securing cartridges and proba
bly, not more than half the number
desired will be available. An agent
is in Hungaria now purchasing all he
can get. but there have been so many
purchasers that the supply is getting
limited. During the late winter near
~ two thousand have been secured
and distributed at various points in
the state. but of late the shipments
have become few and far between and
the state now has about all that viii
be secured this year.
There has been some trouble il
places relative to INSCRIPTIONS per
sons damaging the game birds, bu
generally the people endeavor to en-
courage their development. Mucl
has been done to help them through
the cold weather. They have beer
fed and protected as much as possible
and the result is encouraging.
! There seems to be an Opinion
among the farmers that quail broodet
and provided for on the farm are thu
| farmers private property, although
| they were not the cause of the hatch
| ing. Many of these flOcks of quail be
come pets around the homes and arr
much priced, yet instances are know
where whole flocks have been kille'
| 10 supply lUOu lOf the tdDle, IL btlbt
the plea that they were the farmers
property. In addition to this, anOny
nous letters have been received tell
ing of the killing of quail, but al
Communications that have not the sig
nature of the sender are consigned t
the waste basket. This miscellane
Gus killing of quail has done NOR
damage by far among these gam
birds than the cold weather. But tn
general sentiment is so favorable t
the preservation of game that such In
stances are rare.
"A big game supply in the stat
with only short open season tina
will supply good sport, even for onl
a month, IS favorable to most OF tn
SpOrtsmen, and there will be genera
rejoicing in 1915 when the first ope
season for cartridges and pheasant
will occur. BY that time, with favor
able conditions, there should be larg
focks OF them. 1t will take a Quic
shot to bring them down and only tn
real sportsman will shoot them othel
wise than on the wing, although it
difficult to get an opportunity to shoe
at them when on the ground"

Some More Snow,

Eight to ten inches of snow fell in
Oskaloosa between six o'clock Satur'
day morning and eight o'clock Sunday
morning. The fall was continuous all
day Saturday until after ten o'clock,
sixteen hours of precipitation. The
snow was of the light, feathery sort.
but it drifted into the railway cuts
in sufficient amount to cause delayed
trains on all lines. This was the sec
ond heavy snow within a week.
