TELLS the Keok,lk Industrial
Association Directors OF
Status OF Line.
WILL INTEREST OTHERS
Mi. Barney Had Been Talking
With Officials of Eastern
Roads in Event Court
Ends Agreement.

r. the petition of the receivers Of
mo Rock Island railroad Is granted,
and the road is permitted to cancel
the lease which 1t holds OF the keo-
try, and Des Moines railroad, that
road would cease operating as the re-
enIt unless some other railroad
might be induced to take up the OPP
Grafton of the road. These We're
come of the things Hiram Barney,
who is visiting here from New York.
toId the directors of the Keokuk In
drstrial association at the regula:
business meeting last night. Mr.. Bar
new has been making a study Of the
conditions of the road, and is EN-
deavoring to interest some eastern
roads in the Keokuk & Des Mo1nes,
in the event that the court grants
the receivers prayer.
One of Mr.. Barney's ideas in con-
nection with the road would be to
electrify it for passenger service
from Keokuk to Des Moines. Steam
power could be used in the transpor-
tation Of freight This is not the
first hint of electrifcation Of the
road. Officials Of the Fort Dodge.
Des Moines G. Southern have been re-
ported to have been considering this
same proposition. In some circles
here it was limited that some Of the
officials of the company, already had
made trips here for the purpose. One
Of the officials was here during the
summer, it was stated on good au-
thority.
Suggests keokuk Preparing.
According to Mr.. Barney, who has
been looking into the matter both be-
cause of his interest in Keokuk, and
because members of his family of an
earlier generation were interested in
the line the Kflbournes, 1t would be
well for the local people to prepare
for such an eventuality as the can
ceiling Of the Rock Islands lease and
the turning back Of the road to the
stockholders. Should this happen, it
would mean that the road would
cease operation, he believes. And
this view of the matter Is quite gen.
orally accepted in business and rail
road circles in Keokuk. 1t Is felt

that the present stockholders in the
Keokuk and Des Moines company
would be in no position to accept the
running of the road, should it be
turned back to them.
Mr.. Barney has been in conference
with high officials Of various eastern
roads, he told the directors at the
He has been trying to In
terest them in the proposition of TAX
ing over the Keokuk & Des Moines,
should the Rock Island give up the
road. And in some quarters, Mr.. Bar
ney reports that he has met with
considerable interest in the matter.
What II Hinges On.
1t seems that there are three things
upon which the entire proposition
would hinge.
First. Whether the consent of the
crossing roads could be secured.
Second. Whether the sentiment Of
the territory which the road feeds
would be favorable to taking over an
other line.
Third Whether or not perfect
terminal could he made 1t Des
Moines, so that an air line could be
established from the Atlantic sea-
board, through the middle west, and
to Keokuk and Des Mofnes.
Mr.. Barney is an attorney at New
York and has made several trips to
other eastern cities to interview the
railroad officials in this matter, and
1t looks to him, as it does to the di-
rectors Of the association, that If the
matter Of terminal can be estab-
lished, 1t is more than likely that the
eastern road will be able to take over
the Keokuk & Des Moines division II
the chance is given.
The territory from Keokuk to Des
Moines, embracing Ottumwa, Eldon,
Oskaloosa and other cities, naturally
would desire to do everything In
their power to hold the line. Tie
Keokuk directors feel that Mr.. Bar
ney's interest in the matter and his
Investigations will be of assistance
in case the road is turned back to
the stockholders, and that the time
is right for Keokuk and the other
cities along the Keokuk & Des
Moines to be prepared, and to inter
est some Of the eastern carriers IN
the matter.
Only One Obstacle.
There seems to be only one big OBJ
stacle in the way of the Rock Island
releasing this branch line, and that
is sthe clause in the contract which
says that the Rock Island must re-
turn the road in the shape in which
it was received when the lease first
was made 1t is figured by railroad
experts that it would cost something
like six million dollars to do this. On
the other hand, 1t is not believed that
there would sbe 4 any court whicii
would require the Rock Island in the
condition in which it is known to be.
to carry out such an agreement at
this time.

WONDERFUL REMEDY IN

Mrs. Peter Williams of 2749 Eigh-

ately ill with stomach trouble. She

After taking Mayr's Wonderful

back to health. Mrs. Williams wrote:

the estimation Of the dairyman. Where
this Is fed in connection with some
wheat feed or ground oats it makes a
good substitute for pasture grass.
Then, too, we have found that sta
bling out Of the cold storms and the
no less uncomfortable winds has a
good effect in maintaining the yield Of
milk. Nothing more surely reduces
the vitality Of a COW and thus lessons
the ability to make milk than cold.
A COW to do her best needs to be COM
Portable, and a chilled cow is eve
comfortable. 1t takes a lot of extra
feed to sustain the milk producing
machinery Of a COW where she is COM
PEELED to battle with wind and storm.
Warmth lessons the demand for food
and helps a COW to make more Ct the
feed given her. In other words, good
stabling lessons the cost Of production
Of milk.
Still another simple thing helps to
bridge over the sharp crisis of early
winter, and that is careful grooming.
Cleanliness keeps the body in good
working order and enables the COW to
use the feed given her to better ad'
vantage.

SOW FLAX CARLY

Within a few days there will be
ready for distribution from the
North Dakota Experiment Station a
circular entitled "Growing of Flax OF
Corn Ground and Other Cropped
Lands-Early and Late Sowing"
The topic Of early and late sowing
is one of much Importance. Flax has
usually been seeded whenever it has
been found convenient, after the
other grains are seeded. This often
the crop has slight opportunity to
succeed because the time of sowing is
bad. Observations extending over a
number of years tend to confirm the
belief that in most parts of North
Dakota, early planting of flax gives
most reliable results, both in yield
and quality
Late paintings often give large
| yield if they escape the fall frosts.
This has induced many to plant later
than is justifab1e, with the result that
the crop often loses out, fails to ripen
evenly or is destroyed by frost.
Many have been in the habit of
| sowing flax about May goth to 25th.
Observations tend to indicate that
this is not a very desirable period of
planting, particularly for south and
central North Dakota; for the flax
comes into blossom and boil forma-
ton just at the hottest period of the
year when the soil moisture is apt to
be scarce, the sun very hot, and the
winds most drying. Under such con-
ditions the flax ripens a small crop be-
cause of the blighting of the flowers
and bolls. 1t is, therefore, quite evil
dent that one should SOW early
enough to have the flax blossom and
form the bolls before the hot weather
comes on or sufficiently late to have
the blooming and boil formation
period begin as soon as the hottest
weather is past, and yet early enough
to escape autumn frosts. There can
be no question about the matter for
those who are raising seed for sow
ing purposes. These should, for the
most part, plant early.
The bulletin indicates that there is
very little danger to flax by frost ir
the spring while the plants are young
Young flax plants stand severe spring
frost, but flax while maturing in thu
fall is injured by the slightest touch
of frost.

WHY NOT SAVE MONEY
IN HAIL INSURANCE?

Slope County News:-1n this part
of the state where nearly every farm
er takes out hail insurance every year
it seems a little strange that more
| farmers do not take out their insur-
ance with the state hail insurance de-
partment. The News is convinced
that farmers could save money and
could be certain they were in a re-
liable company if they would insure
with the state. The News also be-
lieves that n reason why the state
hail insurance has not been taken out
more generally is that a great many
farmers do not know of the advant-
ages of insuring with the state.
Perhaps not all of the assessors who
started in upon their duties this week,
are aware that by law they are re-
quired to inquire of each party living
within the respective assessors dis
trict, the number of acres in crop it
any, the party desires to have insured
in the state hail insurance department
for the year in which the assessment
is made. The rate of insurance is 80
cents per acre which must be paid at
the time of application. The assessor
car write your insurance o any farm
err who wishes to insure his crop may
do so at any time up until the 21st
day of August by filing his applica-
ton with the county auditor of his
county. He can do this at any time
during the hail season. The insur-
ance goes into force at the time the
application is filed with the county
auditor.
Losses are adjusted by an official
adjuster appointed by the commits
sioners. This appointment has to be
confirmed by the commissioner of hail
insurance, who has the power to re-
move any adjuster who is incompe-
tant or neglects his duties. In case
Of disagreement as to settlement for
a crop damaged by hail the wner Of
the land appoints one person, the adj
juster one and these two a third and
this makes up the board which decides
the loss. The state pays the settle
ment board. Losses are paid directly
from the state t~reasurer's office from
the hail insurance fund.

DAIRY ana
CREAMERY
WINTER IN The DAIRY.

Careful Feeding and Warm Shelter
Needed to Keep Up Milk Flow.
The pinch Of winter falls with Pc
culiar force on the dairy. We do not
always place due stress upon this.
writes e. L. Vincent In the American
Cultivator. Stop and think what a
change it is from the fresh grass of
the pastures or perhaps the still more
juicy feed Of the meadows to dry hay
and grain. No wonder the cows shrink
badly for a time in their yield of milk.
Besides this. the difference in tempera-
ture has a tendency still further to
narrow down the productivity of our
herds unless we are watchful and take
prompt steps to sustain the flow of
milk.
One Of the best features Of the silo
is that It provides succulent feed for
this critical period. The corr stored
in this way is juicy and goes far to-
ward making up for the loss Of sweet
ness from grass. Still further to over
come this first pinch Of cold weather

Often a poor grade of oil is used, and
sometimes oiling is sadly neglected.
Often the machine is pitched over with

Thus handled the machine wears and
