Statement bv Barney.

| Commissioner Barney issued form
al statement in which he characterize
ed the McHenry decision as one which
would affect one-third OF the drug and
food products of Iowa and make
frauds in manufacture and sale OF
such products easy. His statement
| follows:
If Judge McHenry's ruling is up
! held 1t will effect at least one-third Of
all food and drug products. It will
also annul the law requiring so per
cent of butter fat in butter and throw
open one OF the worst frauds that this
country has ever known The law re-
curing certain amount OF butter fat
in butter guarantees a definite food
value to that product. II Is we'll
known that by the use OF certain
harmless substitutes in butter, as high
as So to 40 per cent of water may be
Incorporated. II this practice were
generally followed by reason OF the
present law being held unconstitution-
Ial, the additional amount of water
that might be easily Incorporated in
the butter manufactured In iowa alone.
would replace butter fat worth Sc.
$4,000 annually. 1t is easy to mag
Inc the effect on the business morals
of the state If this, and other like
frauds. were rendered possible.
The Ice cream law of Iowa does
not contemplate prohibiting the manu-
facture and sale of a frozen food
product containing less amount OF
butter fat, providing 1t is sold under
name other than ice cream. The
present law regulating the sale of
cream in this state requires that a
product shall contain at least 16 per
cent OF butter fat to be legally sold
as cream. person may, however
sell a product containing less per
centage of butter fat If it is not sold
as cream.

ry. These questions arose or the ap-
pointment of three women doctors in
the public health service. The coun-
Gil in such appointments insists that
women shall resign on marriage, and
a similar condition was included in the
case of the three new appointments.
Miss Adler and Miss Wallas, both
progressive members. supported the
amendment. Miss Wallas urged that
the council needed women Of expert
ence, and Miss Adler said it would not
only be wise to have married women
doctors but also married nurses. Wo-
men could organize nowadays, SO there
was no great fear that wages would
be reduced.
Lady st. Heller, the only woman
member of the municipal reform party.
took a view directly opposite to that
of her two progressive colleague. The
council allowed women teachers to
marry. but she declared she was con-
WINGED that no woman could do her
duty to her home and family IL she

The Indian home of the better sort

HEARD OVER THE FARM PHONE
Every Day-Pure Food Gives the
Best Flavor.

Fresh eggs are all the cry from the
folks down town these days. All
right, too. We don't like to eat old,
stale eggs ourselves. For this and
other reasons it is a fine thing to ship
or sell every day If possible.
Down cellar is a good place to keep
the eggs if you are compelled to hold
them a few days. Fix up a little rack
with Stats to lay them on so the air
may circulate about them all the time.
This will help to keep the flavor good.
There are those who claim that they
can tell what kind Of food has been
given a hen to eat, just by the taste
of the egg. This is getting down to
a pretty fine point, but it is no doubt
a fact that good, clean, pure feed does
give an egg a better flavor than that
which is half spoiled, or entirely SO.
You cannot blame your neighbor for
not keeping up his share of the line
fence if you do not keep up yours.
The who finds garden work
too exhaustive may transform 1t into
a healthful exercise by giving it her
time in the early morning or twilight
hours.
1t is worth while to know what your
hired man talks about when he is
alone with the boys. A good man
can do them a deal Of good; and a
bad one-well, you had better let him
go just as quickly as you can, be-
fore you lose your boy body and soul.
The average farmer makes a mis-
take when he breeds trotting horses
or other breeds not adapted to his
business.

loss. If a lamb-creep can be arranged
from the sheep corral to an al
falfa pasture, the lambs will soon
learn what 1t is intended for and will
do far better on it than if confined to
a dry yard. Newly seeded alfalfa can
be pastured with less danger of bloat
than an old field, and the packing Of
it is frequently a great benefit to the
alfalfa.
AS a roughage for fattening sheep
alfalfa hay has no equal, and cases Of
bloat from the hay are exceedingly
rare. 1t can be fed either whole or
this method of feeding, claiming that
there is less waste by it. In feeding
experiments nothing has been found
for roughage that equals alfalfa for
fattening sheep. In an experiment
at the Kansas station, alfalfa and
ages. In the test the grain ration was
corn and c~ottonseed meal for both
lots. Those receiving alfalfa hay made
an average daily gain of 1886 pounds
per head, while the lot on prairie hay
made only 1873 pounds per head daily,
the alfalfa lot making almost twice as
great gains. The alfalfa seemed to
give the lambs a better appetite and
they were always ready for their grain.
and as soon as their grain was cleaned
up they were ready for the alfalfa.

MANAGEMENT OF RUNT PIGS
Excellent Practise to Place Them In
Pasture by Themselves TO Avoid
JostIIng and crowdina.
(By w. f.

Some runts are naturally weaklings,
while others are the result Of injuries
or undertaking. The poor feeder will
have more runts in his herd than the
good feeder-no question about that.
We always place ours in a lot or
field by themselves, where they will
have good pasture, and a chance to
eat their meals without being knocked
and jostled around by their larger
mates. The poor things never have
half a chance when allowed to run
with the herd, and in consequence
they will never pay for the feed they
consume.
By separating them, however, and
giving these runts some special care
they ought to return some profit.
Ground grain mixed into a thick
slop with milk, is what the runts need.
instead Of an exclusive diet of ear
corn. Then keep them free from lice,
and provide them with warm shelter,
SO that all the profit will not be chilled
out in damp or cold weather.

EXCELLENT FOR SHEEP
ALFALFA ALMOST INDiSPENSA'
BILE TO LIVE STOCK GROWER.
From Comparative O%bscurity 1t Has
Come Into Prominence During Last
Ten or Fifteen Years for
Breeding Animals.
CRY r ]. KINZERO

The use vi alfalfa cannot be too
strongly urged with sheep, either the
breeding or f%attening stock. AS the
method Of farming has become more
intensified and the open range grows
less each year, an acre of alfalfa must
be made to take the place OF many
acres of range pasture.
Sheep, being ~ruminants, are able to
handle a much more bulky feed than
horses. A breeding flock of sheep can
be carried through the winter season
very successfully with but little grain
in addition to alfalfa hay. Ordina-
rily the first cutting of alfalfa is not
as good for sheep as the second and
third cuttings, as it is usually coarse
and stemmy, and sheep do not eat
these stems readily.
1t is about as safe to pasture old
thrive on it, and make excellent gains;
but sheep bloat easily and there Is
likely to be a little loss from this
source. Lambs can be pastured on
alfalfa with but little danger of bloat,
and the way they grow on alfalfa is
a delight to the shepherd. They should
never be put on the pasture, when
they are empty and hungry, and it is
always we'll to allow them access to
some dry feed and keep them off
the alfalfa until the dew Is off; also
on damp days. A mixture of alfalfa
and brome-grass or alfalfa and or
chard grass is a safer pasture than
alfalfa alone.
A flock of ewes and lambs car be
grazed for a short time each day on
alfalfa with but little danger Of any
