and Mr.. C. Deubler of Ration, New
Mexico, were married at Ration Mon
day of last week, and arrived in Os-
sian Friday on their honeymoon trip
the guests of the brides parents,
Mr.. and Mrs. ID. Weitgenant. The
bride is one of our best and most
estimable young ladies and highly
esteemed by a large number OF
friends. The groom is railroad
conductor, and while we have en-
joyed his acquaintance but short
time we have concluded that he is
entirely worthy of the choice OF
his heart. New Mexico will be their
home, and the best wishes for a
happy and prosperous welded life

TO ELIMINATE DAMAGE.
Railroads Lift Liability Handling
Perishable Freight.

Iowa commission men and farm
ers who ship live stock are expect
ed to raise storm Of protest against
an order which the railroads of the
middle west expect to place in effect
July 1st., limiting their liability in
handling perishable freight and live
stock
Copies of the orders were receiv-
ed last week by Clifford Thorne,
chairman Of the state railway COM
mission. Shippers Of the state will
be notified. This ruling by the
roads, 1t is said, will be of tremen-
dous Importance to the public.
The order affecting perishable
freight provides that the roads after
July 1st., will not be responsible for
the condition of such freight during
transit or after it has reached the
destination. The second order is
that the roads will not guarantee
the delivery of goods at any speci-
fed time. This affects live stock
which shippers expect to be rushed
through. An odd feature is that the
rulings are not to apply on Mime
sofa and Wisconsin interstate traffic,
but are to apply on Iowa shipments,
as well as in other states in the
Mississippi valley.
When the shippers realize the i'm
portance of these orders it is proba-
BILE that they will organize to ask
Thorne to represent them in a pro-
test to the interstate commerce COM
mission
Should the roads refuse to guar
antee speedy delivery of live stock,
it would mean loss of millions of dol
lars to shippers of cattle and hogs.
it is said. Under the present system
a farmer in shipping to the big MARI
kets loads his live stock so as to reach
the market when the top prices are
being offered. If the shipment is de-
livered day late and the price falls,
the shipper loses a big sum of mo-
ney. The Iowa supreme court has
held that in cases of this kind, if
the railroad has not delivered the
live stock on time, the road shall
reimburse the shipper for his loss.
The supreme court of the United
States, however, has ruled that the
roads may limit their liability. It is
said that the action of the roads in
the present situation is under this
ruling.

TWO HENS SIT ON EGGS.
ENGLAND TO MISSOURI
They Arrive in Missouri After
4,OOO-Mile Journey.

Jefferson City, June 1.-two
hens were placed upon IA eggs each
in a coop in Liverpool, England,
May 21, and the coop was put on
a steamship for New York. Instruc-
tons how to feed the hens were
written on the coop. After 10 days
the hens reached New York and now
they have arrived in Jefferson City,
and today they are still sitting on
the eggs, which came in intact the
A ,O00-mile journey.
The hens were shipped to Judge
w. w. Graves of the supreme court.
Judge Graves has tried in the past
to get Indian game chickens from
England without success. The eggs
after shipment would not give desir-
ed Matching results. He tried the
Matching in transit as an experiment.
He is watchfully waiting now on the
two hens.

Locked in Box Car, Nearly Famished.
Muscatine, Ia, June 15.-When
12-year-old Perry Neuhe of La
Grange, Mo-, went to sleep in box
car in his home town last Sunday
he little dreamed of the experiences
which were to be his lot. The little
fellow was removed from the car
here Wednesday night more dead
than alive. The car which was an
empty one was locked in some man
ner and when the boy awoke it was
to find himself prisoner in a NOV
ing car. For forty eight hours he
made every effort to make his pres
ence known, but failed. On Wednes-
day night however, the car was run
down on a siding here and when
opened the almost unconscious lad
was discovered. He was almost dead
from thirst and hunger and was too
feeble to make an cutlery.

There is money in poultry-on the
rm-sometimest. The other day a
farmer pulled some papers from his
pocketbook and spread them out.
They were due bills the merchant
had given him for eggs. One was
S6.SS and one was for 1888, etc.
They were dated, and little mental
arithmetic showed that the mer-
chant owed that farmer just $3.50
for eggs taken to the store from
March II to April l and had furnish
ed him with groceries besides. Six
[ dollars month or more for a
mere "sideline." There were about
500 hens on that farm.

Living For Others.

1t probably never occurs to a
young man or woman that he or
she is hard to live with" That is
phrase we always, somehow, use
about other people. But why? Why
not occasionally consider whether
the difficulties we complain of may
not be partly the result of our own
sharp angles AMI selfish wills? The
art of living with others is largely
the art of living for others and not
for ourselves.

ALFALFA YIELDS WELL.
Harrison County Farmer Gives Re-
suits of His Experiments.

Logan, Ia, June 15.-Though E
G. Stone of Logan has retired from
active work on the farm, he belongs
to the Willow Valley Farmers clut
and continues his interest in agricul
ture. Mr.. Stone was among the frs
to introduce alfalfa here, and is now
conducting experiments with alfalfa
to determine the most successful
way of producing it in Harrison
county.
Last fall Mr.. Stone drilled twenty.
six rows of alfalfa, using the same
amount of seed in each row. Then
rows were late drilled and sixteen
rows early. The ground of each
row treated differently and the yield
is marked and the lesson of value to
alfalfa growers. The alfalfa cut
from equal areas of ground in the
twenty-six rows was carefully weigh
ed and a careful record kept. The
first cutting recently made shows
as follows:
The first row was not inoculated;
cut four pounds; two rows were in
oculated from soil from alfalfa field
well inodulated, cut siN and one
half pounds; one half of row treat
ed with phosphate, cut four pounds,
the remaining half of the row, not
treated with phosphate, cut three
pounds; inoculated row four from
pea soil, cut six and one-half pounds;
used tankage when drilling, cut three
pounds; used ground bone; cut six
pounds no tankage, no bone, cut five
pounds; inoculated from sweet clover
soil, cut five and one-half pounds;
nothing used, cut five pounds.
The foregoing rows were late
drilled; the following were early
drilled or sown. No treatment, cut
six and one-half pounds; cultivated
surface of ground, cut seven pounds;
not cultivated, cut six and one-half
pounds; not cultivated, cut six
pounds; used wood ashes, cut seven
and one-half pounds; used woodash-
es, cut eight pounds; used barnyard
fertilizing, cut nine pounds; used
barnyard fertilizing with gypsum
cut nine and one-half pounds; culti-
waited shallow, no fertilizing or 9TH
er treatment, cut six pounds; nc
treatment, shallow Flowed, cut seven
pounds; drilled hard surface ground
loosened up, cut four pounds; drilled
deep blowing for seed bed, cut seven
pounds; very light plowed, cut
pounds; used gypsum, cut five
pounds; used common lime, cut
three and one-half pounds; used
common lime, cut three pounds.
BY the foregoing it may be seen
that early planting produced the
greater yield, that where the seed
bed was well prepared, properly fer
tilted and inoculated the yield was
greatest. Each of the future cut
tings of the twenty-six rows will be
carefully weighed and the record
kept, that those interested
in the production of alfalfa may
have the benefit of the experiment.
Last year the alfalfa grown in Har-
rison county aggregated 1915 acres,
this year the area has been materially
increased, hence the experiments
producing yields will be of great val
ue to farmers, especially as the al
falfa sells from So to $12 a ton and
from four to six tons to the acre may
be produced on Harrison county soil
with the least expense and risk OF
any crop to which the soil is adapted.

THE SECRET OF SUCCESS
Genuine Merit Required to Win
the Peoples Confidence

Have you ever stopped to reason
why it is that so many products that
are extensively advertised, all at once
drop out of sight and are soon for
gotten? The reason is plain-the
article did not fulfill the promises OF
the manufacturer This applies more
particularly TO a medicine. A medi-
cinal preparation that has real cura-
tive value almost sells itself. as like
an endless chain system the remedy
is recommended by those who have
been benefited, TO those who are in
need OF 1t.
A prominent druggist says Take
for example Or. Kilmer's swamp
Root. a preparation I have sold for
many years and never hesitate to
recommend for in almost every case
II shows excellent results. as many Of
my customers testify. No other kid
ney remedy that / know Of has so
large a sale"
According 10 sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who
have used the preparation. the sue
cess OF Or. Kilmer's swamp Root Is
due 20 the fact that il fulhlls almost
every wish IN overcomtug kidney,
liver and bladder diseases. corrccts
urinary troubles and neutralixes tho
uric acid which causes rheumatism.
You may receive a sample bottle of
swamp Root by parcel post. Address
