Him.
IN THIS PART OF STATE
Federal Officer Has Just Returned
From Washington and Hints
That Informations Are
Filed.

Claude Porter'll get you. eff you
don't watch out!
This might be the warning which
could be given any hunters In this
section OF the state, who are contem.
plating violating the federal game law
For District Attorney Porter has re-
turned from Washington and has an.
nounced that he is going to prose
cute some violations of the federal
migratory bird law.
Harry Barmeier, federal inspector

particular section of the state, but
the federal officials have been scout
ing around the Green Bay country
near Fort Madison, 1t is said
The Register and Leader prints the
following concerning District Attor.
ney Porter and his actions:
Mr. Porter asserted that he has
received information against at least
three Iowa persons directly from the
department of justice at Washington
and that he will use the data the
government officials have sent him in
prosecuting the cases.
81 understand that Iowa hunters
are laboring under the impression
that the government does not mean
business in the matter OF protecting
the migratory birds In this state and
that they think the officials are not
in earnest" said Porter last night.
"For the benefit of those hunters
he continued. Il will say that the
data I have in hand on the cases at
present is direct from Washington
and has been gathered by government
agents. l shall begin the prosecution
of these cases directly after l have
returned from Washington. I expect
to return some time early next week. =
Mr.. Porter left for Washington
last night. While in the capital he
will discuss the plumbers case and
other matters in hand with the attor
ney general and department oficials
The motion for new trial for the
thf-ty-six convicted plumbers will be
heard here by Federal Judge John G.
Pollock of Kansas City, Kan, March
30.
The district attorney stated, how.
ever, that one OF the chief reasons Of
his eastern visit is to discuss with Of
ficials the attitude OF many Iowa
hrnters relative to the game laws
here. He declared that the govern
ment means business and that the
game here will be protected.

farm than the creameries. If we try
to learn and have conditions right we
can be sure to turn out the best prod
uct. A good quality of butter will
greatly increase consumption. When
only inferior butter is on the market
people use little of it. was once told
by one Of my customers that the only
objection he had to my butter was
that it took too much of it, that he
used double the amount that he did
Of cheap butter.
Cooperation with your neighbors
will also greatly help in breeding up
better dairy cattle. BY cooperating
we can buy the best sires and change
our breeding without so much ex-
pense. l think every dairyman, It
matters not how small his business,
should make an effort to breed reg
istered stock, as it does not cost any
more to raise them. and when he has
a surplus there is so much more
profit in what he sells.
One among the most noted Jersey
breeders in America is a man who
only keeps eighteen to twenty cows.
He has bred and developed many Of
the very largest producers. On the
Island of JERSEY the breed has been
developed by small dairymen through
cooperation. If the average farmer
could get rid of his prejudices and
false notions about registered stock
and stop saying, "They say grades
are worth about as much for business
as registered Stock he would put
himself far along on the road toward
the Improvement of his COWS and the
big increase in their earnings. They
seem to stick to the idea that the
haphazard COW is really better and
more profitable for them than a COW
born Of an improved sire and dam.
The same low grade of judgment pre-
walls upon the subject Of feeding.
Many people think they cannot afford
to feed their cows well. 1t is true
that no man can afford to buy feed. or
raise it either. for poor cows. but it
is certainly true that no man can af-
ford not to feed a good COW the right
food and all she will eat and digest.

INJURY BY CoRNsTALK BoRER
One of Reasons Why Corn stubble
Should Not Be Permitted to Stand
in Field Undisturbed.

(By A F. CONRADI. Clemson Agricul-
tural College.)
The coFnstalk borer is one of the
reasons why corn stubble should not
be allowed to stand in the field all
winter undisturbed. This insect is one
of the most notorious corn pests of
the South. Without cutting the stalks
the evidence of it's work may be seen
in every cornfield at the time Of her
vesting by the holes that may occur
on any portion of the stalk. These
holes vary largely in number.
The point to be remembered in the
life history stages and habits of this
insect is it's habit of remaining as a
larva in the base of corn stubble be-
low the ground during winter. Here,
therefore, is a chance for those farm
ers who are friends of this species to
do it a great favor by allowing the
corn stubble to stand undisturbed in
their fields during fall and winter. De-
stroying corn stubble is not very easy.
except on modern farms where there
is sufficient horse power and the stub
bles can be turned under thoroughly.
Turning under corn stubble is Of
great help in reducing the cornstalk
borer for the next season. Where thor
ough turning cannot be practiced, there
are other methods, such as busting
out the stubble and hauling it to the
compost heap for rotting. After the
corn is gathered the stalks, stubble and
everything else may be bursted out,
raked in heaps and after few weeks
for drying, burned.
In experimental cork very large
percentage of larvae was destroyed
during winter where the stubble was
pIowed out and left exposed to the
weather. It can readily be seen that
when these methods are practiced by
farmers only here and there it does
not help the situation very much. The
control of the cornstalk borer depends
on the cooperative action Of the farm
ers of a community.

! SlLAGE FOR YEARLING MULES
In Experiment at Missouri Station no
ll Results Were Notleed-Test
at Other Stations.

Ten yearling mules, weighing ap-
proximately $50 pounds each, were fed
by the Missouri experiment station.
for 80 days on an average daily ration
Of 6.5 pounds Of ear corn, SO pounds
of mixed hay, and pounds of corn
silage. The mules made a gain of only
4.S pounds, during the period. No i'll
results were seen from the use Of the
silage but the mules did not consume
large quantities of 1t. This it is
thought may have been due to the
fact that the silage was made from
rather immature corn.
Successful experiments in feeding ST.
lage to horses and mules, conducted
by the North Carolina and Pennsyl-
vania stations have been reported to
the department of agriculture It is
advised that corn silage should always
be fed in combination with other feeds
and that under no circumstances
should spoiled silage, either moldy OF
rotten, be fed to horses and mules.
