McGregor Fishermen Receive $13,-
500 for Three Monster Hauls.

McGregor, Ia, Feb. 23.-If an acre
of Mississippi valley land produces
$1,000 in three years it is heralded
as a noteworthy achievement. What
OF an acre of Mississippi river water
which has produced $4,000, or ten
times as much, in the same length of
time?
In February, 1911, two McGregor
fisherman, Adolph Larson and Fred
Worth, caught in a single haul under
the ice $4,000 pounds of buffalo fish
which they sold for $4,000. February
20, 1913, they made a haul of H.
600 pounds of buffalo in the same
acre of water and sold it for $4,000.
Today they are sitting in their can
vas covered boat guarding night and
day $4,000 pounds more of the big
wrigglers which they captured under
the ice Saturday. The lot will sell
for nine to ten cents pound live
weight or about $4,000. For the
three hauls this gives an aggregate
of 100000 pounds of fish which
brought the two fisherman $13,

enormous task of dipping out the
fish and preparing them for ship
ment. The work will occupy the bet
ter part of week. During the whole
time the fishermen will stand waist
deep in the ice water lifting the fish
in hand seines. AS the buffaioes aver
age aobut five pounds each, some 10,
600 fish will be lifted out before the
great seine will float free of its pre-
cious burden. Last year the haul
was taken by team down the ice to
Prairie du Chen for shipment. Eight
teams were on the ice for five days
hauling the fish by the wagonload.
This year the buffaloes will probably
be boxed on the ice ready for ship
ping and then be teamed across to
Waukon Junction, Iowa, and shipped
from there in carload lots to New
York city in time for the Lenten sea-
son.

Unique Schemes ResOrted to In
Smuggling Liquor Into Mason
City.

Mason City, Ia, Feb. 23.-Mason
City's ban on liquor transporters has
developed inventive genius that has
been dormant for years. Dressing
gallon jugs of whiskey up as if they
were babies and getting women to
carry the precious cargo worked we'll
until it was discovered, and now the
transporters are getting quart bot
ties into trunks, packed much as eggs
are packed in cases, and then check
ing the trunks through. Alert cops
have even headed this off. So insis-
tent have some of these liquor trans
porters been that they drop off the
trains at stations several miles out
of the city and walk in. This re-
moves action on the part of city Off
cials but the county has taken it up
with even more vengeance if possible
than the city officials. John Rings is
the latest to be picked up. He had
four gallon jugs of whiskey in a val
Use. This was taken care of by the
police and John got thirty days in
jail or fine Of 500. A good many
inquiries are coming into the city

Gals make it stick and the only reply

airy found the household goods, but
no sign of hog. A careful search,
however, revealed boy curled up
in a corner of the car, none the worse
for his trip.
By billing the car as part live

VALUABLE HERD JERSEYS.
Twenty,four Cows Owned by Nc
Gregor Stock Raisers Set Record.

McGregor, Iowa, Feb. ga rec
ord of production from January ],
1913, to January 1, 1914, of the Jer-
sey herd of the Kinsley Bros. stock
farm near McGregor shows what can
be done by careful selection of a
dairy herd even though special care
and feeding are not given. The
twenty-four COWS in the herd, 8 are
all pedigreed Jerseys. No special at
tention was given them and they were
fed on grain feeds during the pasture
season of seven months, yet, whereas
the State Dairy Commissioner re-
ports that the cows of Iowa are pro-
ducing on an average less than $50
pounds of butter per year worth less
than $45, the Kinsley herd of twen-
ty-four cows and heifers just because
they were first class Jersey stock,
produced 6607.7 pounds of butter
which brought $1,S50.91, or $77.13
each for butter fat alone.
AS eleven of the twenty-four heif-
ers are less than two years old and
according to the rules commonly ap-
piled in comparison of heifers and
cows, heifer is considered only 60
per cent of mature cow as a pro-
Queer of butter fat, the herd of TWEEN
ty-four mature cows and heifers was
only equal to 1876 mature cows. This
would bring the average production
of butter per mature COW to $94.43.
Add to this $40 for skim milk and
$40 for the calf and the gross earn
ings of each cow for the year was
$114!49. This is net of nearly $40
to COW.

No so Cent Eggs.

A local egg dealer at Manchester
said the other day that in his judg-
ment there will be no 50-cent eggs
next winter. He cited the case Of a
big Chicago dealer who recently ship
ped 100000 cases to China, each
holding 100 dozens of eggs, to be
filled and re-shipped to this country.
The Chinese are glad to get five or
SIX cents a dozen for eggs, and
they can be laid down on the Ameri-
can market for less than the summer
price here. 1t will be interesting to
watch this dealers prediction and see
what comes of it.

Waterloo Inventor AstOnishes POpu
lace,

Waterloo, Feb. ga young Wat
erloo inventor by the name of E. j.
Widdel has astonished hundreds of
people during the past two days by
tearing through the. streets on a mo-
tor sled. When first seen the appar-
ition causes queer sensation in the
beholder, for a horseless bobsled is
observed running at a high rate of
speed.
There is, in the first vision, no APP
parent reason why the sled should
travel so swiftly over the snow COW
cred streets A close observation
discovered that the rider had invent
ed motor bobsled which is certainly
wonder.
A motorcycle engine, a motorcycle
wheel and home made bob make
up the material from which the Wat
erloo lad has rugged up the novelty.
That his efforts were effective is at
tested by the manner in which he
gets over the snow.

Iowa City, Ia, Feb. 23.-An un-

northeastern corner of Johnson
county, res lied in the drowning of 6
cattle in the Cedar river. They were
the property of John Connors.
Ice cutting operations had been
carried on in the Cedar river by far
mers of the neighborhood, adjacent
to the Connors woods pasture, and
a film of thin ice had formed over
the area that had been cut. Six of
the cattle went onto the thin ice,
which broke beneath their weight.

CENTRAL RAILWAY TO solve PROBLEM

FARMERS-HAY AND GRAIN CROPS SUGGESTED.

In the desire to cooperate with the
farmer in solving the crop and live
stock situation which is decidedly the
absorbing topic of the hour in agri-
cultural centers, the Central of Geot-
gia Railway, through the agricultural
department, of which Mr.. ]. F. jack
son is the head, has just placed an
order for seeds of commodities used
in the West as steady sources of rev.
enue.
On the test farms where the new
commodities will be tried will be
planted this winter seed of the hairy
vetch, the crimson clover, burr clover
and alfalfa Five tons of the first conf
modify named, one ton of the crimson
clover and five hundred pounds eacn
of the burr clover and alfalfa seed
will be made available within the
next few weeks for experimental pur-
poses among farmers along the line Of
the Central Railway in Georgia and
Alabama.
Near Americas, between Sumter City
and Wells Mill, the Central Railway
has test farm" where the planting
of these forage crops will be tried this
fall, and with excellent advantage.
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1914-09-24

Mr.. ]. F. Jackson, of the Central'c
agricultural department says the seed
which are native to the West will be
cultivated in order to demonstrate u
Southern farmers the desirable feat
ures of the hairy vetch, crimson Glow
er, the burr clover and the alfalfa as a
cover crop for the winter.
The commodities can be grown with
profit in this region and it is expecte /
the powers that be in the railroad will
make an effort to interest planters in
order to have these excellent items OF
forage cultivated to an extensive de-
gree.
Mr.. F. G. Chastain, agriculturist
serving under Mr.. Jackson is in Kansas
to purchase short horn Durham bulls,
which will be given away as prizes
next year in the boys 4-crop CLUB
contests. Sixteen of the bulls are to
brought back to Georgia and loaned
to farmers until the crop contests are
decided, the farmer, in turn, agreeins
to put in dipping vat to kill the
destructive cattle tick.
MIR. w. T. Bennett, agriculturalist in
the same department, goes to Ken
lucky. He will purchase in that sta e

carload of short horn heifers. The
heifers are to be sold to the farmers to
whom the male animals are loaned"
for some months. The idea generally
is to advance the interest in cattle
raising in Georgia and Alabama.
The hairy vetch, crimson clover, burr
clover and alfalfa, all recognized as
excellent commodities for forage, are
intended to occupy the position OF a
connecting and necessary link in the
consistent effort being made by the
Central to advance the cultivation Of
stock in this and the adjoining state
of Alabama.
