IOWA NEEDS TO ADVERTISE.

This is an age of publicity. Tbs

the means of putting on it, feet many
a business, and of stimulating trade
when business was dull. All over the
country are concerns which owe their
exis ence to advertising.
Cities and states have come to rec
ognize the power of publicity. Every
city and every state has advertising
possibilities. AS has often been said.

The freedom of roads that go winding
along
Like ribbons of silver and gold,
BY orchards and meadows, and gar
dens and woods,
And rivulets crystalline cold;
And fair panorama of villas ano

As the milestones away from you reel,
Are only q few Of the pleasures that
with the price Of an automobile.
A rose on the cheek, and song in
the heart,
An eye that is steady and clear,
An appetite equal to pickles and pie
Without gastronomic fear;
A spirit at peace and in tune with
the world.
And nerves that are tempered to
steel,
Are some of the pleasures OF health
that you get

The honk of the horn has magical

That charms all your troubles away
And the hum Of the motor invites you

Awaiting my hand on the wheel.

wEAT ARE CORRUPT PRACTICES;

-
The term corrupt prac tees legis-
lation' is one which is often misun-
derstood. Malpractice on the part OF
physicians, the swindIing of innocent
purchasers through the sale of worth
less securities. or the administration
of public business in the in. erests OF
private individuals or corporations
are among the evils which this class
of legislation is sometimes supposec
to cover. But as matter of fact
such an application of the term is er.
roneous. According to Mr. Henry j,
Peterson, who is the writer OF q pa
per on Corrupt Practices Legislation.

Iowa Applied History Series pub

OF Iowa corrupt practices legislation
may be taken to include all laws
directed against conduct which in
practice or design tends to hinder o..
improperly influence an elector in the
exercise of his right of franchise SIS

there are laws against the bribery or

against Illegal voting. and agains,

more, restrictions are placed on

should new calf haveY How OLE
should a calf be before one may begil
to feed separated milk? When ma,
separated milk be given entirely
What besides skimmilk should be fed
When may the calf be weaned entire
ly? Mrs. A. S. Hasan, Wash.
Answer: Feeding, as genera
rule, does not increase the percentage
of fat. Ii COW has been fed scantily
and has been exposed to adverse con
ditions a change to better environ
ments and better feed may cause al
increase in fat production but wher
her capacity is reached there is nc
method of feeding that will change the
fat content of the milk. 1t is moi
possible for me to figure out ration
for you unless you can give me exact
ly the feeds that you have or car
secure. Assuming that you have some
legume hay, such as alfalfa or clover,
with succulent crop, such as roots
or grass, and in addition some grain
of the proper kind, you should feed
about as follows: AS much hay as
the COW will eat up clean; from 20 to
40 pounds of roots or grain hay pei
day, and one pound of grain to every
three or four pounds of milk produc-
ed. We prefer the iegume hays be-
cause they contain large amount OF
protein which is desired in milk pro-
duction. Timothy hay is not all
economical feed for milk cows. Re-
garding separators will state that il
makes very little difference which one
you choose SO long as you select one
that has been tried out for a mum be1
of years. Aomng those that are re-
liable are the De Laval, Sharples,
United States, Simplex and Empire.
There may be others but / do not re-
call them at this time. We frequent
ly find as much difference between
machines of the same make as between
machines of different makes, but a
few general rules must be followed
in the selection of this machine. 1t
must be durable as shown by the rigid
construction; it must be simple as
shown by the small number of running
parts and few bowl parts, and it must
be efficient as shown by the work
which it will do. Do not hesitate to
pay good price for good machine.
A newly born calf does not need any
milk as a rule until he is from "a to
Sc hours old. At such an age the calf
is very hungry and it is a very small
matter to teach him to drink out OF
a pail. We prefer the method of tax
ing the calf away fom the COW as soon
as it is born. This not only makes ii
easies to teach the calf to drink but
it is better for the COW in that she
learns to forget the calf sooner. From
six to ten pounds of milk according
to the size of the calf, is the usual
amount to feed up to the time he is a
week old. This should be new milk
entirely, and at eight days after birth
separated milk may be used in small
amounts, increasing the skimmilk and
decreasing the whole mix gradually
until at the end of the third or fourth

Answer: I note in your letter of
May 9th that you wish to use your
full blood bull on his dam if possible.
While it is usually wise to keep a
good bull in herd as long as pos
sible, I do not think it the right step
to continue inbreeding to any great
extent and under some conditions l
doubt that it is wise to make even
one cross. With great care in the
selection of the animals inbreeding
may be used to fix a characteristic.
Too often, however, animals closely
related as those you have mentioned
have undesirable characteristics which
are very prominent and the result of
such mating simply fixes the unde-
sirable character and the offspring is
inferior to the parent. [ know OF
breeders who have practiced inbreed-
ing for a number of years and have
obtained excellent results, but l
have also known of breeders who have
taken the downward path by such
procedure. Your judgment must be
relied upon to make the proper mating
and if you think that your animals
are vigorous enough and that the
undesirable characteristics will not
be present on both animals you may
get good results.

This is so heavy in protein that it
becomes an undesirable feed in large
quantities. If the calf is not getting
very much protein feed such as clover
hay and very little green feed, it might
be we'll to add some oil meal to the
ration not in the milk but in the grain
feed. The calf may be weaned entire
ly at about eight to 10 weeks of age.

At o'clock Tuesday evening
Richardson and his wife were sitting
on the porch when a mob of about
sixteen women approached and
seized Mrs. Richardson.
Thinking it was a friendly joke,
she allowed herself to be led off the
porch, laughing. Then the women
snatched at her hair and pulled it
down, tore at her clothes until they
were in shreds, while children danced
around amused by the spectacle.
Mrs. Richardson cried out and
begged her husband for help, but, be-
ing crippled, he could only watch the
performance.
The women then forced Mrs. Rich
ardson to sit astride the rail and they
rode her through the town while the
men stood on the corners and jeered.
A thunder shower came on, but the
mob spirit could not be quelled and
the spectacle dragged itself out until
the women were exhausted, when
they dropped Mrs. Richardson in
mud puddle in front of her home,
telling her to leave town inside of
"a hours.
Mrs. Richardson left yesterday
after having partially recovered from
her injuries. It is believed she is in
Chicago at the home of her sister.

shook her, but that had no effect,

Charles Mars discovered that she
was barefooted, and took off his
