Several drummers were in Nauvoo
during the week telling what grand
thing R. O. Marsh's interurban will be
for this grand and beautiful city.
Now that the First Natl bank block
is about finished both inside and out.
and nearly all rooms occupied up and
down stairs. with all modern convent
ences for the occupants, it is about
time to think OF one or more buildings
as fine and up-to-date as this one for
1914. The interurban line through
Nauvoo is sure coming.

Some one told us that he read
about Chicago mail order houses send
ing out nearly 10000 tons of fall and
winter catalogues. In the country
newspapers, merchants never seem to
see fit to advertise their goods as
much as they ought to, and, as there
is going to be lot Of reading during
the long, quiet evenings on the farms
and in small towns this winter these
catalogues are going to como in for a
lot of perusals, because they are so
handy-like. Why don't the keokuk
merchants wake up to this fact and
use the Keokuk Daily Gate City's ad
columns more extensively Several
hundred subscribers read this popular
daily paper in Nauvoo and on our two
rural routes.
The K. of c. and st. Rose Societies
of this city may occupy several OF

FORAGE CROPS FOR PORK PRO-
DUCTION.

To produce pork proftably pasture
should be used as largely as possible.
In some sections of the state pasture
is not available throughout the sea-
son, especially during August. Such
are the conditions at Pullman. AL
fafa pasture is good until the middle
or latter part of July, when its growth
is greatly checked by dry weather.
In the animal husbandry division
Professor Ashby has planned series
of tests to determine the value of the
common forage crops for summer use
by hogs. This year oats and peas
were tried and also rape. The oats
and peas we're drilled as for hay and
the pigs turned in when the early
peas we're hardening. At that time
the crop would have yielded about
three and a half tons Of cured hay
per acre.
The aphis damaged the rape so bad
ly as to make it nearly worthless.
The grain rations used we're in the
following proportions:
Lot harley, five pounds; wheat,
five pounds; tankage, one pound.
Lot 2-Same as Lot l.
Lot 3 Barley, two pounds; wheat,
two pounds; oats, two pounds; bran,
one pound; tankage, one pound.
Lot 4.-Same as Lot l.
A two per cent ration means two
pounds of grain per day for each 100
pounds live weight Of pigs.
Feeding tests to compare light and
medium grain rations on green oats
and peas; also medium grain ration
on green oats and peas in comparison
with the same in dry lot. The test
continued from August 5, 1913, to
September 3, 1913.

APPLE P0MACE AND A BALANCED
RATION FOR PIGS.

A fruit grower recently sent in the
following questions:
1, What is the feeding value of APP
pie pomace?
2. Having apple pomace, alfalfa
leaves and wheat or corn, what COM
b1nation of these by weight would
make a balanced ration for 100 pound
hogs?
The reply is given herewith, as
other fruit growers may have similar
questions:
First, 100 pounds apple pomace will
usually contain II pounds dry matter
which is made up of one pound crude
protein, l1.6 pounds nitrogen free eX-
tract and 9 pounds fat. The protein
contains nitrogen and is useful for
muscle formation. The nitrogen free
extract and fat can be used only for
the formation of fat or the generation
of heat or energy.
We have had no experience in feed
ing pomace here at the alton and
but little data is available on the use
of it elsewhere. In whatever com
bination used, the pomace should be
too much fermented or otherwise I'M
wholesome.
Toe following combination of feeds
should give good results:
Five pounds apple pOmace; one
pound alfalfa leaves; four pounds roll
ed whelt. Nutritive ration is l $50.
Upon trial the feeder may find it

Approximately 1000 doses of tu-
berculin were furnished the Wiscon-
sin Live Stock Sanitary Board by the
college of agriculture during the three
months ending October LIST. This
amount exceeded by 1000 doses that
supplied during the same months in
1912. The last legislature extended
the time for the payment for cattle
slaughtered after responding to the
test. The owners of cattle reacting
are recompensed by the state, in
case the meat is not condemned, to
the extent of -fourths of the APP
praised value of all animals in which

better to use more or less pomace
than here recommended. His own
judgment should indicate the best
proportion.
In case alfalfa leaves are not avail
able one could substit ute one pound
of tankage for them, the other con-
stituents remaining the same.
1t should be added that apple POM
ace is generally considered low in
feeding value and the feeder should
test it out before depending too large
ly on its value.

1t does not pay to feed a medium
grain ration in the dry lot.
1t was not convenient to test the
forage without grain this year.
The result show that after paying
$50 per ton for their grain and %
cents hundred for their milk, the
pigs paid as follows for the forage:
Lot 1913 per acre.
Lot . 1913. 80 per acre.
Lot 3-Lacked $500 of paying for
their grain and feed.
Lot $40. Al per acre.
From these returns must be deduct

Provide pasture for your hogs. A
good system is

summer, then

Further tests will probably modify
these results, but they are published
because they will be useful to many
who are just beginning to raise hogs
in Washington.

GEORGETOWN, Ga-"IIe lives
right over yonder," is the first word
that the lovelorn couple hears when
they turn from the road into George
town, the Gretna Green of the Chat
tahoochee valley, nestled between
hills of Quitman county just over the
river that divides Georgia and Ala
bama on its way to the sea. And
before they have turned another cor
ner the man and the maid have a
flock of children and a flock of geese
trailing along behind them to the
home of J. Z. DOzier, ordinary Of the
county, who in twenty-five years of
consecutive service has married more
couples than he dares to count
IN have to face them in judg-
ment," he says, and the number of
newly-weds is one thing he keeps to
himself Not even my wife knows
it" he added. That's one sin of
the marrying parson' and the mar
rying parson' that will be buried with

Judge Dozier's name is known
from Florida to Vermont by men
and women whom he has married,
and by their children, too, for he has
married them. They come to him,
young and old, for gray hair does
not keep Cupid away, he says. He
marries them without question-for
he does not believe that questions
ought to be asked. Only the drunk
en- man is turned away, but woman's
tears will melt his heart. And the
entire community backs him up
Marry them they say.
1t is not because he marries them
any better or gives a house and lot
with each nuptial knot that they
come to Judge Dozier. 1t is the
name and fame that the years have
brought him and made Georgetown,
the little capital of Quitman county,
a Gretna Green for those who like a
little spice when they marry and run
away from papa and mama or want
to surprise their friends. They come
from everywhere in the southeast,
although the knot could be tied just
as. well elsewhere, but Georgetown
has the reputation, and marrying
couples know that they can have
their hearts desire at this little Gret-
ma Green. Judge Dozier has mar
ried enough to guarantee that.
Secrets the Judge Could Sell.
Judge Dozier was first elected in
1891 to fill an unexpired term, and
has been reelected six times since
with increasing majoritiess having
opposition every time except in 1904

! given the venturesome bridegroom
money to pay the way back home-to
forgiveness, maybe.
He has always Kept the secrets he
has been asked to keep, but wedding
news will cut. Not long ago he mar
ried a couple that had the police n
every county between Georgetown
and their Florida home seeking them
in behalf of their parents.
| Another time he married a couple
in the dead of the wintry night, and
was rewarded with a silver quarter
by bridegroom who wanted to re
munerate him handsomely"
IF it hadn't been for the girl, -
and then Judge Dozier gritted his
teeth without finishing a symposium
on that young man.
On With the Good Work.
And Judge Dozier is going to have
all corners married, even if he can't
marry them himself One Sunday an
old gray-haired man from Alabama
called him out of the church and for
babe him to marry daughter, who
was merrily on her way to George
town with her beau. He respected
the old gentleman's wishes, but the
next morning when along came the
man and the maid he hustled them
on to Lumpkin, in Stewart county,
where the knot was tied by a friend
of Judge Dozier. The first one to
! greet them en- route home was the
aged father, who warmly welcomed
! his new son-in-law.
One night a couple came IN from
| Montgomery. The young man had
gone with Uncle Sans fleet that
went around the world several years
ago. Not long ago the happy bride
groom sent him postcard from the
United States battleship Minnesota.
Several years ago an old negro
man. well past three score and ten,
and young woman of about twenty
summers presented themselves for
matrimony. About two months af-
terward the old fellow came to the
ordinary and said: "Jedge, ali wants
you to git me er loose from dat gal. "
F., When asked what the trouble was
the old darkey replied: DE debbil
couldn't git er long wild dat oman"
He was told that a higher court
would have to do the "unloosing,"
and then he shufied his feet and
said: "Ya sho put US tergether, an
ah CANT see wha va CANT take us
er part"
Not long ago a Central of Geor-
gia train was stopped by an accom-
modating conductor for a couple who
were trying to escape police officers
on the train who had been set on
their trail by an enraged father.
They soon found the ordinary and
were married, while the ''coppers'
, had to foot it over to Eufaula, mad
, as wet hen over being outwitted.
