Lawns In Fall and Winter

In order to keep our laws beau
tiful. they must have constant care.
Too often the lawn is cared for only
during the growing season. when In
reality it should be cared for dur
ing the whole year.
The following are a few things
that we should practice during the
fall and winter:
In every case, do not cut the grass
late in the fall. Leave it long for
winter protection,
Whenever the lawn needs fertiliz-
ing, put on very fine. well-rotted ma
nure soon after the ground becomes
frozen in the fall Let it lay on the
lawn all winter. and rake it off in
the spring as soon as active growth
takes place. Be sure and use we'll
rotted manure. because fresh manure
is apt to heat and kill the grass
roots.
During an open winter, the grass
is subject to a drying-out process
which tends to kill the roots. This
can be helped by sprinkling the lawn
several times during the winter.
Weeds. dandelions. ETC., infest the
lawn wherever the grass has become
thin. These thin places can be rem
edied a great deal by sowing grass
seed very early in the spring and
raking it in well. Young grass will
start growing very early. and in this
way, it will get ahead of the weeds.

Do You Read Labels?

Domestic science teachers and

housewife to carefully read the
labels on all food articles.
The laws of most states compel
food manufac turers to print the

the label, and this enables con-
sumers to distingui sh heal thful
foods from those which may be
deleterious.

are made from alum, a mineral acid

ed strange gift to the queen. For
months they carried on q nationwide
campaign for preparing articles Of
clothing for the soldiers OF the coun.
try, who may be ordered to the from
tier to defend their country any day
or night. The exact number of per-
sons contributing was 32,S32, and the
gift consisted OF 56.470 pairs of stock
ings, 54S wooden jackets and vests.
7.101 pairs of gloves and mittens, SAT-
pieces Of neckwear, 745 helmets and
caps, 81 felt hats, and 1884 other ar.
ticles. There were also ITO pounds
OF yarn and $4,750 I'm cash. The
gifts were to be presented to the
queen on certain day, and many be-
lated givers will swell the collection
very materially. The cash expenses
connected With the management were
paid by a few patriotic persons so
that they do not show up as gifts.
The situation Is serious on account OF
the war, and the presentation Of the
gift to the queen was as informal and
unostentatious as the givers could
make 1t. The objects had been placed
In the White Sea-" hall In the royal
palace. Packages were put on top OF
each other as1stones in building. and
the whole pile had the shape of a
fortress surmounted by Swedish flags.
In many cases there were inscrip-
tons giving the names of the donors.
Even societies Of foreigners living in
Sweden had made contributions.

DAIRY
HABIT OF DROPPING THE cUD
One Of Symptoms Of Certain subaeute
Forms Of Indigestion-care-
fully Examine Teeth.
(By w. r. GILBERT.)


Dropping the cud" takes place In
certain diseases and conditions of the
mouth, where mastication is painful.
but 1t Is also one Of the symptoms Of
certain subacute forms of indigestion
dependent on bulky and innutritious
food.
In some cases the animal Is un-
thrifty, with irregular bowels and de-
PRAYED appetite; but these are not so
pronounced when the trouble is due to
pain In mastication owing to disease
Of the tongue or mouth, or to dental
irregularities.
In young bovines, dropping the cud"
is very often due to the persistence of
the crowns Of deciduous molars.
The animal eats tolerably well, be-
cause the food, in the first place, is
nipped of by the incisors. twisted
around by the tongue and hastily trans
ferred to the first stomach.
II is after chewing the cud that the
food Is subjected to the reduction to
minute particles by the molars, the
process causing pain, and the ball Of
food or cud is dropped out Of the
mouth instead of being laboriously
masticated and swallowed.
The first thing to do In these cases
is to carefully examine the mouth with
the aid Of gag and to remove the per.
sisting molar crowns IL 1t is these tenn
porary teeth causing the painful masti-
cation.

MAY Be MEMBERS
Under New Law State Banks
May join Federal Reserve
PASSED LAST LEGISLATURE
Measures Of the Legislature Ae-
eording to the Secretary Of
Iowa Association.

Des Moines.-State and savings
banks will now be privileged to Join
the federal reserve bank as the re-
suit Of one OF the banking bills passed
by the last legislature.
This measure Is considered by Per-
cy w. Hall. secretary Of the Iowa
Bankers association, one of the most
important measures that got thru the
legislature.
One Of the important bills passed
permits savings banks to carry the
same reserve against time certificates
as they carry for city deposits. Under
the old law time certificates were
classed by the state the same as com.
mercial accounts. II consider that the
ruling Of the state department with
regard to the time certificates was
unjust" Mr.. Hall declared.
The alleged injustice OF the old plan
lies In the fact that banks had to car
~ small reserve Of only per cent
for savings accounts, while for COM
mercial accounts they carry cash
reserve Of Is per cent. The bank re-
garded the time certificate as a saw
ings deposit inasmuch as 1t carried
the regular rate Of interest.
II person deposited sum of
money for a given period and took
merely certificate of deposit instead
OF savings book, the money was
classed as commercial account by
the state and Is per cent instead OF
an per cent cash reserve had to be
carried against such accounts. The
certificate represented a savings de-
posit,, the banks held.
Another act of the last legislature
permits national banks in this state
to act as executors. guardians and
trustees for estates as an individual.
To gain privileges OF this kind the
national bank In this state had to or
ganize a savings bank.

GOVERNOR OFFERS REWARD
Governor Clarke Sets Price On Head
Of Alleged Murderer From Abba
Missing a Month.

Governor Clarke has offered a re-
ward OF $3.50 for the apprehension of
Ellis Hollingsworth, coal miner.
charged with the murder Of Arthur
Ainsley at Abba.
Hollingsworth, who Is a small man,
is charged with killing Ainsley and
seriously injuring another coal miner.
The request that reward be issued
for the arrest of the murderer was
sent to the governor by Judge Amber
son of Abba and the sheriff of Mon.
roe county.
According to the reports from Abba,
the crime was committed on the
night Of March 81. Hollingsworth and
four coal miners were seated in q
room discussing coal mining. Holdings
worth, who Is from Alabama. freely
criticised the method Of coal mining
in Iowa. One of his companions de-
clared that Iowa miners knew as
much about mining coal as scabs.
Hollingsworth is said to have taken
the statement as an insult. He Is cred
tied with saying that as the other
men present we're larger than he, he
would go and get the difference. Walk
ing half mile to his room. he secur.
ed his revolver, and returned to the
room. The witnesses declare that Hol-
hngsworth pointed the gun at Ainsley
and fred. He then turned the gun
on another man and fired, 1t Is said.

This little stable is provided with
two ventilating fiues to carry of the

FIND POOR MILK PRODUCERS
Many Fine Appearing Animals Found
to Be Quite Improbable by
Work Of Testing.

The work of testing the dairy herd
is most interesting and produces
many surprises. Many Of the finest
appearing cattle will be found to be
the poorest producers. while some Of
the animals thought to be scrubs will
be worthy Of place in the construct
ed herd.
No time should be lost in disposing
Of the unproductive cows. A market
can readily be had for those In good
condition. while the money received
for their sale can be most wisely ex-
pended by purchasing sire and two
or more dams of dairy breed. These
new animals should not be purchased
without first knowing their record Of
production.

are kept and accommodation is need
ed for 4 or 5 horses.
The foundation is Of concrete with
a heavy wall extending all around the
outside of the barn. This wall also
includes the silo and feed room be
tween the silo and the barn.
The floor, both in the COW stable
and horse stable, is of concrete made
in sections to prevent cracking. The
floor in the horse stable end Is made
level and even across. The concrete
floor in the COW stable end is higher
in the middle to raise the feed alley
and hangers above the cutters and
alleyways behind the cows.
Thirty-four feet in width gives room
for center feed alley and allows 2
feet for each manger, feet for the
cow stalls and 16 inches for each gut
ter, and leaves feet inches for each
alleyway between the cutters and the
outside walls, Larger COW barns usu
ally are made two feet wider but that
is because of the longer length of the
alleys. Thirty-four feet is a good
width for a stable this size.
The foundation wall extends UP
above grade about 90 inches or feet
From the top Of the foundation wall
to the peak the building is constructed
of light timbers on the plank frame
construction plan. Each pair Of raft
ers forms truss with the feet resting
on the stills. These trusses are tied
together crossways of the building by
the 2x10 inch joists that support the
floor. These joists are IL feet long
and are spiked together where they
pass each other at the Orders.
The stills are bolted down by EN-
bedding heavy bolts into the concrete
walls. SO that the Light framework
when completed is very rigid and
makes solid building. Although this
stable is small 1t Is just as carefully
planned and finished as any dairy
stable.
The stall partitions are of iron. The
whole interior of the stable Is lined
