Rowley Changes Base on Taxation
John w. Rowley, editor of the
Keosauqua Republican, has exoner'
ated the state executive council OF
blame for the excessively high taxes
in Van Buren, county this year.
In an article published in the Keo-
sauqua Republican, Oct. s, Mr.. Row
ley condemns Auditor Duckworth OF
Van Buren, county for the "inexcus-
able blunder'' which caused valua.
tions in that county to be placed
$2,1S1,901 too high and which took
$4,000 more from the taxpayers
this year than should have been col.
lected. Astonishing Developments
in the local auditors office are the
casue of Mr.. Rowley's change OF
attitude.
The Surrender of Mr.. Rowley Is
of vast Importance, owing to the fact
that the dissatisfaction over high
taxes originated in Van Buren, coun-
ty and he made it the basis OF his
campaign for nomination for COVER
nor against Governor Clarke. The
Keosauqua editor now admits that
the trouble was in Van Buren, coun-
ty and not in Des Moines.

A SCURRILOUS ARTICLE.

A scurrilous article concerning
United States Senator Cummins
graced the front page of a Democra-
tic Journal last week, and among
some of the vile things in the arti-
Gle was one which characterizes the
Senator as "faker" and of such a
low caliber that he ought to be
barking from a street corner sell
ling shoestrings. This same paper
is urgently pushing Maurice Connol-
~ for the United States senate, and
lis making great efforts to induce Re-
publtcans to support Connolly.
Senator Cummins is too well
and faVorably known in the nation
to need any defense from us, but
we merely desire to point out the in
consistency of that, and other Dem
ccratic papers. They resort to the
use of language and of means to
characterize Republican candidates
and to attempt their defeat, that
makes an honest citizen, either Re-
publican or Democrat blush with
shame-for them-and then in the
next breath they ask Republican vot-
ers to forget politics" and vote for
the Democratic candidate.
1t is well known all over the
state of Iowa that Maurice Connolly
foresaw that he would be inglorious-
Iy defeated for reelection to the
House of Representatives from the
Third Iowa District this wear and in
order that he might be let down
gracefully offered himself as a sacri-
fee candidate for United States
Senator. He has shown himself to
be a Politician pure and simple; a
trailer of the president. A man
who has not courage of conviction
enough to announce platform; nay
not courage el""gh to espouse the
Democratic platform adopted at
Baltimore. His one recommends
tion that is heralded from one end
Of the state to the other by Demo-
Gratis is-"He has stood by the pres
ident; stand by him."
A walking stick with a wooden
head could "stand by the president. :"
But because said walking stick had
stood by the president" wC''ld that
ene reason fer choosing the walking
stick for United States Senator?
I In marked contrast from this can
didate with no platform butt

nit any other person, whether he

but when / make them, they are my

Mr.. Cohan, in writing "Forty-Five

radically from conventional lines by
combining most effectively drama,
comedy, farce, melodrama and mu-

SOME EXTRA FEED
DURING THE FALL
Speciaf Care Should Be Given
Cows During Time They Are
in the Stable.
(By w. M. KELLY

(By w. M. KELLY.)
There is no time Of the year when
a little extra feed will produce bet
ter results than during the fall when
pastures are failing. A cow that goes
into the winter in a weak and enact.
ated condition is certain to come out
unless special care and feed are given
her during the time she is in the
stable.
Much of the poor condition in the
spring, noticeable among dairy cat
tie, is due to a decline in condition
during the fall.
Cows that freshen in the fall should
have plenty of forage if the pastures
are short, and sufficient ground food
to get them up to their maximum
yield.
A cow that is allowed to fall away
in her milk yield can seldom be
brought back to her most profitable
yield, and especially at this time of
the year.
AS a rule I have had better success
in growing fall calves than those that
come in the spring. The average
farmer has more time to devote to
their care and they are rot troubled
with flies, and it is easier to keep
them in their normal condition dur
ing the extreme hot weather.
Then again the fall calves are usu-
ally more vigorous than those that
come in the spring, after their dams
have been kept confined in the stable
all winter without exercise.

GREATEST GAIN In
SWINE IN WINTER
Feeding Qualities of Shredded
Fodder Not Appreciated by
Many Farmers.

In spite of ali that's said against
shredded fodder, its feeding qualities
have not been appreciated by one
farmer in fifty.
1t is a great mistake to try to force
cattle to eat something they do not
like. They refuse it because they
know it has no feeding value.
If you leave your corn in the field
till February or March you may safely
count that you are losing at least one
half of it's value.
If you take your animals off scant
pasturage in the fall and suddenly be-
gin to stuff them with green corn fod-
der, you will probably have some
pretty heavy losses.
The greatest gain in pigs is made
while they are young, and the cost
Increases every month they are fed.
Some men manage to fatten cattle
and hogs fairly well in muddy, cold
and uncomfortable feed lots, but it
takes at least one-third more feed to
produce equal results than if the ami,
mails were properly housed.

CBy w. II. UNDERWORLD
The main expense in raising hogs is
their feed, and it is the duty of the
feeder to get the most out of it that
he possibly can. Some farmers make
a mistake in simply throwing feed to
their hogs and letting them take care
of it.
When hogs are fed in this way they
do not receive the full benefit of the
feed, for a portion of it is wasted.
We must remember that one days
poor feeding will more than counter
balance two days of good feeding.
Regularity in feeding hogs is of
very great Importance, though a good
ly number of us are slow in realizing
this fact. The digestive systems of
animals adapt themselves to receive
food at a certain time and If food is
not given at the expected time the
animal is worried thereby.
This results in loss of one kind or
another. Frequently the food being
late. is taken in too large quantities
or too hurriedly, for the best good of
the animal. For this reason it is to
our advantage, as well as the hogs,
to make it rule to feed him at ex-
actly the same time every day.
We cannot expect good meat unless

make some remarks after the first
