The Strawpile
Hoaaina Down Corn.

All farmer boys should know how to
hog down corn. Hogs enjoy husking
corn for themselves Why not let them
do it?
First, you must have a woven wire
fence around the field. You can buy
enough twenty-six inch woven wire
fence for few acres, and tie the fence
to the corn stalks, il there Is no per-
manent fence. II the stalks are down
or weak, drive in few light stakes
and staple. Set good corner posts,
and stretch the wire tight, and you
will be surprised how easy it Is to put
in temporary fencing.
Hefors tubing e the hogs. grad
ually get them used to full feed of
new corn. Turn in any time after the
corn is dented You can turn in earlier.
but you VIII not get full value out OF
your corn. Figure on about twelve
spring shotes to the acre. This means
that all the corn will be cleaned up in
the average fifty bushel per acre field
in about six or seven weeks. Let them.
have all the water, salt and tankage
they want, and you will be surprised
at the gains. In an Ames corn field,
with eleven seventy-pound sfotes to
the acre. the average daily gain was
one and q quarter pounds. Each shote
ate half a pound Of tankage daily from
the middle OF September till early IN
December. The pigs hosg.ss down corn
with no tankage gained only one-third
as much. With husked corn at 81
cents a busl1el. and allowing cents for
i1usking. the tankage pigs made 100
pounds Of gain for $3.50. - compared

quack grass. DR.. L. H. Pammell has
this to say about the grass: Western
wheat grass is common in western and
northwestern Iowa and westward. It
Is one OF the most valuable grasses Of
the plains. 1t comes more nearly be.
ing an ideal grass for the plains than
any other grass; 1t stands tramping
and is nutritious. It has been tried in
does well. 1t is close relative Of quack
grass. but 1t is more easily killed"
The method DR.. Pammell recon-
mends for the determination Of quack
grass Is known as the sorghum and
crop method, and Is essentially as fol-
lows:
The infested ground should be given
shallow blowing as soon as the oats,
wheat or barley has been cut. Pillow
shallow and disk, exposing the roots to
the sun. AS soon as the Quack grass
comes thru the ground. harrow the
field: repeat this as often as may DO
necessary thru the months Of August
and September, as these months arc
frequently dry. This will help to de-
stroy large number of roots for the
next season. The next season. when
the soil Is in good condition. SOW
sorghum at the rate OF one and one.
half to two bushels per acre. Tho
sorghum will crowd out the quack
grass. This method has been tried
successfully both on the college farm
and elsewhere In the state. There 10
no other method as good as this"
This is also effective in dealing with
western wheat grass.

THE BOUND Boy

Filing Of indenture papers between
"a farmer and the guardians Of a g.
year-old boy in Poottawattamie county

bound TO the farmer until he comes of
age were given prominence as a news
story in the daily papers of the state.
1t is another illustration of how
times change. Years ago the bound

bound" was under control OF the per-
son 10 whom indentured. II boy, the
papers read usually that he was 10

800 and freedom when he came TO his
majority. II girl, she was TO receive
q sum Of money, wedding outh, per-
haps and clothing as specified. Certain
schooling was also provided for, And
for these the bound boy and girl served
their masters longer than Jacob
worked for L&ban.
Slavery, whether temporary or per-
manen- inclines TO abuse of power.
In many Instances the bound youths
found friends and became a part IF the
family. II ali depended upon the char
acter Of the persons TO whom they
were indentuled and on the character
Of the youth as well, But there were
MULTIPLIED Instances where the system
resulted in actual slavery. Il came 70

ing bee To be sure there were those
who slept IL the ashes and welded

welded the princess but the system
was one that lent Itself TO cruelty and
greed and tell properly into disuse.
II flourished years ago when the east

I those waits are among the most sue

Iowa and Illinois today however. Many

and with his suit of clothes and 800

PAYNE PREFERS KUEHNLE.
Nevada Representative


AS TO Harding, the Times Republic
can has been distinctly one of the con-
spicuous Iowa papers that have been
aetuated by an evident belief that it
was necessary for all good people to
get together on Cosson IL order &c be
sure OF beating Harding. Upon the
contrary the view of the Representa-
tive has been that Harding is candi-
date quite as Objectionable as the
Times-Repuhlican has regarded him.
but that the first choice of support
really for him is very small and that
the way to use him up most effectually
has been 10 have in the field a really
acceptable candidate who would get
the vote not instinctively for Cosson
or Allen. AS we get the Times Repub-
lican now. 1t has Concluded that after
all Harding is not so fierce a candidate
as 1t has thought and that in fact such
danger of his nomination as there ever
was is now passed. If this be COR
rect Interpretation Of the Times Re-
publican's present view then we take
it that that paper and this paper are
now in accord on this point.
AS TO Kuehnle being wet, the Times
Republican is as badly mistaken on
that point as IL was concerning the
myth of dangerous strength for
Harding. Kuehnle has not worked at
the temperance proposition so much as
the other folks have done: but he has
never been on but one side of the
question and that has been the tenn
perance side. He has always been a
believer in law and in law enforce
meEt, and if he represents in the
present situation school of thought
different as to this matter from that OF
Cosson and Allen the essential differ
ence is that the prohibition fight in
Iowa has been won, that prohibition is
the established policy of the state and
IS going 10 continue and be enforced
as such, and that accordingly It is I'M
necessary TO rub il in" to those who
have been less enthusiastic upon the
question. This is an attitude which
temperance people can afford to APP
prove now, however they might have
felt about it at some previous time:
and as to the vets" we do not think
that there are nearly so many Of that
actual description as some current
discussion would seem to suggest but
we do anticipate that with Harding in
the discard as impossible they will
find Kuehnle to be tine most accept
able candidate !ess.
One point further, this paper does
not mean to cast any inuendoes in the
direction of either Cosson or Allen.
The nomination of either of them will
be absolutely acceptable in this office.
This paper. however. is giving the
preference to Kuehnle upon the whole
case as we see it and we are hoping
to see kuehnle use up Harding and
come down the home stretch in good
order with the other candidates, not
because he is like Harding but be-
cause he is different from Harding.
OF course the Sioux City papers and
the Times Republican have no particu-
lar reason to care what we think about
it; but We do hope that as the situa-
ton develops they will keep getting a
little better line on Kuehnle.

that every saloon location was snapped
up by legitimate business To illus
trate, the latest business to acquire
location vacated by saloon in the
depot district when Marshalltown went
dry is a savings bank. The saloon To-
cations were mainly desirable. Real
business took them over. There were
no vacant buildings here by reason OF
the abolition of the saloon except those
that saloonists held under lease and
in hope that finally faded that the sa-
loon might come back again. Those
buildings took their chance with sother
desirable business buildings and re-
ceive the same rent that others as de-
srable get The graft of consent

of the crooked nature of the business
has gone That is also loss that the
public need not worry over.
There is no occasion for any worry
on the part of the PUBLIC. The ques-
ton has been settled conclusively that
the saloonless town is the better town;
that its inhabitants are better off from
the merchant 20 the nod carrier: that
its trade is bigger and of better class

business.
