Soybeans are rapidly gaining
in favor among the farmers Of
Missouri and in many parts of
the state are replacing cowpeas
as a seed crop. The fact that
they can be seeded EARLIER, are
easier harvested, easier thrashed
and usually outyield the cow
peas explains in part, this grain
in favor. Many farmers are
now securing seed Of soybeans
and several varieties are to be
recommended but the choice Of
a variety should be governed by
the purpose of the crop. When
grown for hay such varieties as
Ebony or Black Beauty, Medium
Yellow or Mongol, Picking or
Sable and Austin will be found
among the best, Where seed is
wanted this list might be en-
larged to include Mikado and
Halberlandt. If a late maturing
rather coarse growing crop is
wanted for pasture and green
manuring purposes, the Nam
moth Yellow, and Hollybrook
are good. c. Hackleman, Mis-

The Care of New Hatched Chicks

Millions of chickens are lost
each year because of improper
methods Of feeding. Some of
this loss can be prevented by u.s.
ing the plan of raising chicks
which has been worked out by
the Poultry Department of the
University Of Missouri.
Chicks should not be fed until
they are forty-eight hours old
and then should receive nothing
but fine, white grit. This slim
ulates the digestive organs and
prepares them for food which is
to follow. The next feeding
should be a mixture of 3 parts
finely cracked wheat, 3 parts
finely cracked corn and / part
steel cut oats, fed dry.
Some of this mixture or COM
mercial chick food should be in
the litter at all times so as to
encourage the chicks to exer-
else.
Twice daily the chicks should
receive rolled oats or a mixture
Of 3 parts bread crumbs, parts
corn bread and l part boiled egg.
This mixture may be fed dry, or
it may be slightly dampened with
sour milk. Young chicks should
always have access to clean
drinking water or if possible
some skim milk or buttermilk.
These should be kept in a vessel
so constructed that the chicks
cannot get themselves wet.

orchards enters the tree through
breaks in the bark such as
wounds caused by pruning. 1t
causes a discoloration of The bark
at first and later the diseased
bark shrinks and peels off. The
disease can be checked by cutting
off entirely all dead branches. If
the tree trunk is effected the
dead bark should be scrapej a.
way well into the healthy bark
on all sides. Paint ALI wounds
with white lead and raw linseed
oil with which some merclric
chloride dissolved in tlIpentine
has been mixed.-C. c. W'iggons,

Don't stop feeding your COWS
when you first turn them to pas
ture. The new grass as well as
the young wheat and rye is ON
posed Of about ni%ne-tenths wa
ter and one-tenth solid material.
It is impossible for a COW that is
giving a fair flow of milk to con-
sumo enough to keep the flow
up. If the cows are once all
lowed to fall off in milk flow it is
impossible to get them back to
their former yield. In the long
run it is economical to feed some
grain while the grass is young.

Watches Course Of
Games.
FOUR GAMES PLAYED

Keokuk is still in possession of the
Stanton checkerboard which Roy
Sherwood won in Hamilton a week
ago.
Yesterday Sherwood defended the
board against the Hamilton invaders
and won again. Sherwood played four
games with Clyde Smith. one Of Ham
ilton's noted checker sharks, and won
two, tied one and lost one.
Smith was accompanied to Keokuk
by A. c. Harter, one Of the most wide
ly known checker players in illinois.
He did not play, however. The battles
were fought yesterday afternoon at
the Y. M. C. A., and large crowd Of
spectators was present during the
playing.
It is up to Hamilton to come back
again next week and attempt to re-
gain the prize. Hamilton has been
noted for it's checker players and
they are going to put up some strenu-
Gus efforts to get the prize back in
their town. Whether they will sue
coed or not, later events will tell.

BELT LINE STRIKE
COMES TO AN END
Twelve Thousand Freight Cars In the
Jam Caused by Three Days
Of ldleness.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service. ]
CHICAGO. Dec, ia hundred
locomotives pulled out of the great
Belt Line yards at Clearing, Ill tc-
day, in an. effort to extricate Chicago
from the freight jam caused by 4
three day strike OF the Belt Lines
employees. which was settled early to-
day
Twelve thousand freight cars.
which had stood idle on the sidings
since the strike began, were made up
into trains and will speed in all direc-
lions with munitions, grain and
Christmas freight aboard.
Settlement Of the strike was reach
ed after an all night conference. The
Belt Line Co., agreed to operate a
service train for transportation of the
employees to the Clearing yards until
January 1. 1917. when further ar
rangements will be made.
G. w. w. Hangar. federal media
ton agent, whose efforts led to ad-
justment of the Belt Line strike,
planned today to mediate the local
switchmen's difficulties with seven
teen railways. The switchmen threaten
to strike tonight unless settlement
is reached this afternoon. Adjustment
was deemed likely.

,.om,nent Keokuk Resident An
.wered Call At Home Early This
Morning After Short
illness.
IN KEoKUK FIFTY YEARS
Filled Many City offices, Including
That Of Justice Of the Peace
Served Through Civil
War.

John Leindecker, one OF KeOkuk' g
most prominent and esteemed resi-
dents passed away at his home, 1924
Johnson street. at $3.50 o'clock this
morning.
.,ustice Lfndecker has seen much
nublic service in Keoluk as justice of
the peace, former city alderman, po-
liceman, deputy marshal, and con-
stable and was also a veteran of the
| civil war. He was prominent in Odd
Fellow circles for nearly half cen
tury and patriotic and public spirit
cd citizen. The decedent was pos
sessed Of many sterling qualities and
| his death has occasioned mucn regret
throughout the entire city, for he was
universally known and respected.
In all Of his offices he gave the
satisfaction that goes with work well
done and no one can speak Of the old
soldier and resident without words of
praise, for his political and business
career was without reproach and he
/ numbered his friends and acquaint-
ances by the score. In the loss of a
man of John Leindeckers' stamp, the
city loses a citizen who would be a
credit to any community; man OF
the old, hardy pioneer stock that has
helped to make this country what IL
is.
I John Leindecker was one of tbs
early settlers In this part Of the
county, he coming overland to War
saw, ILL.,, from Wisconsin when trans
portation was mostly by wagon. and
his influence on the communities in
which he settled was an uplifting
kind. Wherever he lived, the dece-
dent was considered citizen Of
worth, man OF which a town might
be proud for he stood for all that was
good in public and private life.
Held Many Offices.
Justice Leindecker has repeatedly
proven his popularity by being cleo
ted to the many worthy Offices named
above and he had held the position Of
Justice Of the peace ever since the
death of Justice H. C.. Lands.
Justice Leindecker's death this
morning was sudden, although not en-
tirely unexpected. He had been suf-
