says Professor Charles Downer
Hazen in the December Ameri-

all bore cumulative witness to
the truth that a successful war

Don't Forget To Fertilize.

There was a man in our town.
And he was wondrous wise,
He knew that il he wanted crops,
He'd have to fertilze.
It's nitrogen that make things greer,
Said this man Of active brain;
And potash makes the good strong
straw,
And phosphate pumps the grain.
But it's clearly wrong to waste
plant food.
On a wet and soggy field.
I'll surely have to put in drains,
II I'd Increase the yield.
And after have drained the land,
| must pillow it deep all over;
And even then I'll not succeed
Unless it will grow clover.
Now acid soils will not produce
A cloven sod that's prime,
So il | have a sour soil.
I'll have to put on lime.
And after doing all these things,
To make success more sure.
I'll try my very best to keep
From wasting the manure. - =.
So I'll drain and lime and cultivate
With all that, that implies.
And when I've done that thoroughly,
I'll manure and fertilize.

FOREIGN BODIES AND CATTLE
More Care Should BE Taken to See
That Animals Do Not Eat Nails
and Pieces of Wire.

(By l. e. NEWSOM. Colorado AgricuI-
tural College)
The average person does not seem
to realize how many good cattle die
from foreign bodies such as nails and
pieces of wire that pass from the
second stomach forward in the
heart sac. More cattle. particularly
those which are kept up around the
cities, pick up foreign bodies in their
food and these are nearly always de-
posted in the second stomach. This
stomach lies just back of the dia-
phragm, whereas the heart lies just in
front and on the opposite side of this
partition. Consequently, if one of these
sharp bodies starts forward, owing to
the movements of the stomach, it is
very apt to pierce the heart sac. This
carries infection and the heart sac
fills with pus; finally after some weeks
or even months the animal shows
symptoms of disease and dies, even
without the owner knowing the real
cause of the difficulty.
Prevention is not easy, nut more
care should be taken to see that the
cattle do not eat out of the managers
or in feed lots where there are many
nails and pieces of wire. 1t is not at
all uncommon to find twenty-five or
thirty nails in the stomach of COW.

SCOUT THEORY OF SUICIDE
Mystery Surrounds Death of Youth
Found Shot Through the Heart
In Barron County.

Condemnation mystery
surrounds the finding of the body of
Alexander Hanson on the front door
step of the James Nevin farm home,
eight miles southeast of this city His
friends will not accept the first report
circulated that Hanson committed sui
eide by sending bullet through his
heart.
Young Hanson formerly made his
home with his mother near the Nevin
farm. 1t is claimed he was engaged
to Miss Martha Neyin and that after
he moved to Stoughton she went there
to marry him but was followed by her
father, who, it is asserted, opposed the
marriage, and brought his daughter
home.
Hanson followed her back to Barron
county and had been seen in the vicin-
ity of the Nevin home for several days.
His body was found with a bullet hole
through his heart and circumstances
were such that the district attorney
was asked to investigate.
The coroner's inquest resulted in
a verdict of suicide. A letter written
by Hanson to his mother was found in
which he stated his intention of end
ing his life and intimated that his
sweetheart would join him in the sui
eide pact, as they could not get mar
ried.
