4 A suit in whcih damages to the

filed with the deputy clerk OF the
federal court here by the Fort Madi-
son and Appanoose Stone Co., against

Of a quarry in Illinois across the
river from Fort Madison. 1t claims
to have been the owner OF certain
right of way and railway track con-
Meeting the quarry with the railroad
owned by the defendant. Prior 10
July g. 1909, it is alleged there hae
been differences between the two com

6, 1909, the claim is made in the peti-
ton that a contract was made be
tween E. P. Ripley, president OF tine
Santa Fee, and George H. senator
president of the stone company.
= This agreement, 1t is alleged in the
petition, provided that the pla1ntin
would sell and convey the right OF

Then again there IS another matter
that enters into the economy Of The
feeding question, and that IS the mat
ter of selling the cattle before they
are finished There are times when
it will be more money in the feeders
pocket to sell the cattle when they
are just off grass. even though the
price seems small compared with what
corn-fed cattle are selling for.
Farmers who are going into the
business would do well TO raise a
high class of feeding animals and feed
only what they can handle to the
most profitable advantage on their
own farms. and sell when the prices
are right
Sell when just OFF grass if the price
is right and grain FOODS are high.
Feed well on a variety OF well cured
alfalfa, clover and corn slower and a
liberal grain ration.
Raise the breeds best adapted for
the one special purpose and keep IN
close touch with the market condi-
tons in relation to both feed and beef.

lect the full-feed period with intelli-
gent discrimination and precaution.

EXCELLENT NOTES
ON CARE OF SWINE
All of Leading Breeds Are Adapt
ed to Economical Production
Keep Animals Healthy.

The use of corn in hog-feedlng
should be tempered with judgment.
The corn and hog crop go hand in
hand. A man starting in farming In
the West relies upon this combination.
The hog from first to last is capable
of getting a large proportion OF its
feed from grass.
We are apt to make the mistake of
feeding grain too freely because the
hog utilizes it so efficiently and eco
nomically.
No breed enjoys any marked prefer
ence in the markets of the country.
All of the leading breeds are adapted
to economical production.
To have healthy swine on the farm
the first essential is to have good. Wig
orous, healthy, breeding animals.
Sunbeams, crude carbolic acid and
lime are the best and cheapest disin-
fectant.
When hog-waterers are used they
should be cleaned frequently and a
lump of quicklime dropped in the bar
rels occasionally will assist in keeping
them sweet and clean.
Health and drugs have no affinity
in the successful management of a
herd of swine.
Health is natural. Disease unnat-
ural. Both are contagious.
II in the fight between health and
disease we give nature little encour-
agement we will come off victorious.
1t is, after all, more our mission to
keep our hogs healthy than to allow
them to keep themselves in that condi-
ton.
We should keep the hogs close COM
pany, study their habits and their re-
quirements and then cater to them.
Add to this, humane treatment; and
we have solved the whole problem.
Mud is not good thing to feed pigs
in, dust is worse. Both should be
avoided as much as possible.
A short nose is good. but a long
body is better.

One of the chief disadvantages that
most cattle feeders have to contend
with is the purchase OF feeders from
some remote district. If it is possible

ity. uniform-sized feeders OF about the
same age in his own neighbOrhoOd
they will make more profitable lot
OF feeders for the average farmer to
finish than the class OF feeders that
come from some remote district.
Many failures among feeders can
be traced directly to the fact that
they are not acquainted with the eff
fects of acclimation and dOmestication
Of the purchased feeders and fail to
get them started off in good condi-
ton
Then again some farmers come to
the conclusion that it is Improbable
to keep a herd of COWS and believe
that they can buy their feeders for
less money than they can afford TO
grow them. These men soon find
their mistake, and many who have
sold their COW herds are now develop
ing new herds for the purpose OF
raising their own feeders.

OF COURSE FARMER
SHOULD KEEP SHEEP
Profitable Method of Getting Rid
of Weeds Is to Sell Them in
Mutton at &c a Pound.
CBy c. d. LYOND

Some men were looking over a
weedy pasture and one of them said:
What shall ! do with these weeds"
Sell them in mutton at cents a
pound"
Every man knows his own business
best and can best decide what kind OF
stock will pay him the greatest profit,
but on most farms there is room for
a small flock of sheep and at the end
of the season the money the wool and
lambs will bring will be that much
clear profit,
Going back to the first proposition,
that of the weeds that infest our fields
It may be said that while growing
sheep entirely upon weeds, is not
a plan to be advised. they will eat
nearly every weed that grows upon a
farm and will put on good solid fat
upon stuff that cattle and horses re-
fuse
The most tractable of all farm stock,
they can be managed with less trou-
BILE than other stock, all that is re-
Quired to restrain them being wire
net fence of the cheapest grade.
The other day l was talking over
the sheep question with some friends
and while we did not agree as to
breeds, we we're unanimously in favor
of the breed of sheep that will bring
a good heavy shipping lamb with the
fleece a secondary consideration.
This is the very season to think Of
starting flock as great many flock
masters sell off some ewes as soon as
shearing time Is over. and unless q
man has plenty of means in these days
he will have to start with such ewes
as he can buy on the market. thor

SYMBOLISM OF VEIL
Survival of Ancient Custom
YaShmak OF The East.
Whatever May be Said of Its Origin
All Women Know That It Is Uni
VersaiIy and lncurabiy
Becoming.

The veil as a portion of feminine
attire is almost symbolic in its char
acter. The bridal veil is an interest
ing survival OF the ancient custom OF
holding a canopy over the bride at her
wedding, a ceremony still observed at
Jewish marriages. Many families hold
the bridal veil as one Of the most pre-
ciOus OF heirlooms, TO be handed down
from generation to generation and to
be guarded with the utmost care and
reverence.
Simpler in character, but no less
beautiful in effect, is the veil of the
young girl worn at her confirmation,
symbOliZing as il does the mOdesty
and simplicity Of the maiden about
to enter on the possibilities OF ma
turity. These charming wells gen
orally of fine French net, hand made.
but devoid of ornamentatiOn save for
the broad hemsttched border, are
often kept by the wearers to be used
when later on they become wives and
mothers, as the christening veil for
ence is averse to the constant use
OF a veil by young children, the Gus
tom still survives al christenings, and
We should be loath, indeed, to see it
disappear.
In the veil of the novice we find a
survival of the wimple of the Norman
ladies. while certain orders OF nuns,
such as the Kilburn Sisters, follow
faithfully the fashion of the early
PlantageRet court in the way they pin
the veil to the sides of their linen
caps. In just such a fashion was the
Plantagenet wimple fastened 10 the
chin band.
Although the veil has to some ex-
tent lost its significance in England
! as a symbol of mourning, says the
London Chronicle, it is still used on
the continent in this connection with
great circumstance and ceremony.
Not only does a widow envelop herself
for lengthy period in veil of amaz-
ing length and opaqueness, but every
relative of the deceased assumes a
similar dreary symbol of regret, its
size and thickness varying with nice
discrimination according to the ex-
/ act degree of relationship. In fact,
a Briton visiting France or Italy lot
( the first time is often astontshed at
| the number of apparent widows ne is
/ apt to encounter in a days walk. 1t
/ is not until his curiosity leads him to
prosecute inquiries that he learns the
/ true reason for the prevalence OF the
,deep mourning veil reaching from

In the east the yashInak signifies all
that is subservient and dependent In

to appear unveiled before a man Is
to put herself forever beyond the pale
/ On the day that the woman OF the
East shall appear with impunity and
unveiled in a public place she Will
have set her foot on the first rung
of the ladder of independence.
So, East or West, the veil holds its
own, from the yashmak to the motor
veil from the christening veil to the
wimple. Whatever antiquity may
have to say as to its origin, most OF
the women know that it owes Its
adoption in the first instance to the
fact that it is universally and In
curably becoming.

BROODING THE CHICKS
GOOD START IN LEE is MORE
THAN HALF THE BATTLE.
From Matching Time Until Feathered
and Ready for Colony Is Most I'm
portant and Vital Period-lay-
ing the Foundation.

CBy J. W. KELLAR. Copyright, l9l4)
The brooding period embraces that
portion of a chicks life from the time
il is Matched until it is feathered and
ready for the colony house and is
most important and vital period, for
then is laid the foundation of the fu-
ture.
There are. two methods of brooding
the natural, in which the hen sup
plies the warmth and care, and the
artificial. In the natural brooding all
that Is necessary is a comfortable
coop, not too warm, roomy and free
from drafts, kept clean and sprayed
literally with a good liquid lice killer,
or, better still, poultry disinfectant.
Then, given proper feed. the hen will
do the rest.
Artificial breeders have two parts
a hover which is warmed and supplies
the heat to the chicks. and a nursery
or exercising room. In choosing a
brooder select one that is well built,
easily cleaned and in which the heat is
DETECTED downward on the chicks
back. Avoid bottom heat, which causes
leg troubles. Buy the brooder plenty
large and do not crowd the chicks.
keep it sweet and clean and cover the
floor with sand or fine chopped alfalfa
or clover.
Watch the Temperature.
The temperature under the hover
during the first week should be 80
degrees; then gradually reduce the
heat until it reaches 80 degrees. The
nursery should be about seventy de-
grees. AS much depends on the lamp
In brooder, keep It well filled, with
a clean burner and well trimmed wick.
Have good tested thermometer, take
the temperature from near the floor,
watching carefully, for overheating or
chilling chicks Is equally disastrous,
and above all follow the directions
that come with the brooder.
After the first week or two chicks
may be allowed C run about in a
small outdoor yard when the weather
is clear and mild, provided they can
always return, easily to the hover
when they feel cool. When the weather
Is bad confine them to the nursery and
induce exercise by scattering fine
grain among the litter.
The question of brooding large colo
MES of several hundred chicks in a
small room or house by the use of
brooder stoves has attracted much at
tention lately. These small coal or oil

The Ace of a Fowl.

The age of fowl cannot always be
told by the size of the spurs. In the
yard of the writer there is a three
year-old hen that could easily be mis-
taken for year-old hen or pullet. But
there is a heavy, dull look under the
eyes of the old bird, which an expert
would detect at q glance. The best
plan is to band all birds and keep a
record of their ages.-L. E. S.
