Experience With Hogs.
Mr.. Lau has had many and varied
experiences with hogs. He raises from
20 to 80 head of Poland China per
year. In the 81 years he has farmed,
he had cholera three times. In 1912
it broke out and from some so or &C
head he saved about %. They were
not treated, as Mr.. Lau had no faith in
serum at that time, having made a test
the preceding year with some so.
called serum which was being used
in the county. He treated with this
two of his hogs and put them in a
neighboring herd where cholera pre-
vailed. In short time they contract
ed the disease and died and Mr.. Lau
was convinced that the serum treat
ment for hogs was failure.
However, the success of the treat
ment at the Iowa farms near Daven-
port soon set him to thinking again
and he secured three pigs in the fall
OF 1912 from the Iowa farms which
had been given the simultaneous
treatment and placed them in three in
fected herds in his neighborhood. All
three pigs weathered the storm sue
cessfully, although nearly all the hogs
ID the three herds died That nut a
new aspect to the subject and in the
summer of 1918 Mr.. Lau gave all his
pigs the serum-simultaneous treatment
without any loss, although cholera pre-
vailed in the neighborhood. He now
gives his hogs the serum-simultaneou
treatment every year.
Mr.. Lau raises about 100 head of
chickens each year, planning to sell
on the cockerels and old hens each
winter and keeps the pullets. He sells
them dressed at 20 cents per pound in
Davenport. He has had considerable
trouble with chicken cholera and with
blackhead in turkey, being compelled
to cease raising the latter fowl on that
account.

IOWA ALFALFA FARMER CARRIES ON
MANY INTERESTING EXPERIMENTS
Owner of Magnolia Crest Farm in Scott County, Iowa. of Wide d.
versy of nteestS-BeeveS in Rotating Pastures Wherever
Possbe-CarefuIy Selects and Stores Seed Corn-NeveT
Was Successful With Potatoes-Prof in Sheep.

Mr.. Lau has IA Red Polled cows of
high grade which produce from $500
to 5000 pounds of butter annually,
which he sells on contract delivered at
35 cents the year round. In 1914 the
production was 1850 pounds. Each
COW returned him $685. last season as
follows 10 pounds butter, $50; A.
coo pounds skim milk at Is cents per
hundred, Sc; calf, SIS, and Is pints OF
cream used in household, $2,65. They
are fed silage and alfalfa as the basis,
with small quantity of corn grist con-
sisting of corn and cob ground to-
gether. These cows constitute the
largest factor in his total income every
year. He regards silage and alfalfa
as the very best feed.
He owns one of the oldest silos in
Scott county, having had it for I'll
years. 1t holds IS tons. has dimen-
sions of IA by % feet and requires from
z to 8 acres to ill. 1t is constructed
of wood slaves and is built inside the
barn and has proved practically per-
manent there. The cost was $3.50.
Mr.. Lau estimates the annual cost of
filling at $50. He always adds water
to his ensilage in filling and finds that
he can get a good grade of feed by
putting it in when just beginning to
dent. To prevent spelling on top it is
thoroughly sprinkled with water and
tamped down three different times.
He had never had any trouble from
feeding and values ensilage highly for
both cattle and sheep. In his opinion
every farmer should have a silo.
Cows and Steers.
He keeps, In addition to his COWS,
% head of young cattle. The steers
he sells as butcher stock Purebred
Red Polled sires have been used in his
herd for 20 years, but the start was
made with common COWS of different
breeds. Now their owner regrets that
he didn't use purebred dams as the
foundation.
Seven horses are kept to do the
work on Mr.. Lau's farm. They are
fed alfalfa as roughage almost exclu-
sively. They are also given some silage
and oats and corn. Care is taken that
the alfalfa and ensilage be bright and
wholesome. No colts are produced.

nv G. II. AFFORD, State Demonstration
Agent, Maryland.l
C.. w. Lau, who lives on the
Magnolia Crest farm, six miles from
the city Of Davenport, in Scott county,
Iowa, is a man of such diversity of
interests and carries on so many inter
esting and valuable experiments that
we can learn much by study of his
methods. Mr.. Lau owns 100 acres of
land. Of this 100 is tillable, while 40
is left in permanent pasture and car
ries about one head of cattle per acre.
This ground is low and has very
troublesome ditch running its entire
length, making it difficult to maintain
fences and impracticable to cultivate.
He believes that he can double the
carrying capacity of this pasture by
disking in the ground occasionally and
sowing in a mixture Of grasses. He
will try mixture of timothy, blue
grass, white clover and sweet clover
seeded in two-year-old alfalfa field to
produce pasture of this sort next sea-
son. Mr.. Lau believes in rotating pas
lures wherever this is possible.
First Success With Alfalfa.
Mr.. Lau maintains rotation of two
years of corn. one year of barley in
which alfalfa is sown, followed by two
years of alfalfa. He can rightly claim
the distinction of having first gained
an unqualified success in the growing
of alfalfa in Scott county. He now
has on the place some 80 acres de-
voted to this crop. So firm is his faith
in the alfalfa plant that he has dis
carded red clover entirely and expects
to follow a rotation in which alfalfa
has prominent part. He also has
placed his seal of condemnation on
timothy.
Charles Lau says that one years
eeeding is five years wedding. To pre-
vent this he clips his stubbles with the
mower before the weed seed ripens.
This is better than blowing early and
exposing the land to parching suns
and teaching rains.
From 40 to so acres of corn are
grown and the average production is
about SIS bushels per acre The seed
is gathered early and the ears placed
in ricks in the open doorway Of his
barn loft, In this way it is located in

Record Of Sales.

1t is interesting to note that Mr..
Lau realized $1,000 in cash from his
1914 crop of alfalfa. There was no
better field of alfalfa in Scott county
last year. He put up over five tons
per acre from these cuttings. In 1918
he cut five tons per acre and was of.
fered $40 per ton for all of it. He es-
Inmates that it costs $150 per ton to
put it up. The first cutting in 1914
he kept for feed and it carried 40 head
of cattle, Is sheep and horses
through the winter, while the second,
third and fourth cuttings returned him

spread at the rate of six loads per acre
on the corn ground. The hills are
given an extra dressing of manure
every two years. Mr. Lau is very care
full to conserve all his manure. He has
built concrete cistern to receive all
the liquid drainage from the COW
barns. When the manure is to be
hauled out, it is heaped up in the yard
and then this liquid is pumped over
these manure heaps and hauled into
the fields in that way.

THE woMEN's PARTY.

It Is question whether the
stimulus which may be given to the
movement for woman suffrage by the
organization of the so-called women's
party will not be more than offset by
the loss of support due to the same
movement. The strongest argument
that has ever been made in favor Of
woman suffrage is that because men
and women are recognized as socially
and Intellectually equal. they shouli
stand politically on the same basis.
The idea at, the back Of every effec-
tive demand for the equal political
recognition Of women has been. not
that men and women are separate
classes, having equal rights, but that
they are members Of the same great
fuman group. having common in
terests and common duties. Any at
tempt to set women apart as
separate class. and to organize them
OIL that basis, is a denial of the
strongest claims that have ever been
made for equal suffrage.
Such experience as we have had
with equal suffrage furnishes no con-
1irn?ation of the claims that are some
times made that women are more
wise. or more moral. or more com
mitted to any of the things that are
best in government. The conclusions
t. ne drawn from the evidence are
directly to the contrary. and the facts
are consistent only with the belief
that the women voter will act in sub
stantially the same manner as .na
lran voter being governed by prac-
tically the same motives. The vaiu3
of the evidence is negative, that is,
it does not tend to show that women
should not vote. But, If we are to
accept the doctrine of the separate
ness Of women. which is the only
doctrine consistent with the forma-
ton of the women's party. then
women ought not to be permitted to
vote. for they will be governed by
other considerations than those of
citizenship. As The Herald has
pointed out on several occasions, the
strongest possible argument against
women suffrage is thus being pre-
sented by those who are in favor of
that change.

If he realized that Mr.. Byran was rot

TUESDAY EVENING, AUGUST IS
WHAT THE DEMOCRATS HOPE.

There is dissatisfaction among the
Democratic leaders Of the state over
the prospect that the Republican
voters generally will accept the deci-
sion rendered at the primary election,
and support in good faith the ticket
nominated. unless it shall develop
that candidates nominated are them
which they derived their nomination.
The differences that have arisen with
in the Republican party have al
ways been cheerfully viewed by Dem
ocrats, because of the hope that no
matter which side proved successful,
the other would turn in anger and
disgust to the Democratic party for
redress and. revenge. The thing has
worked out that way on some occa-
sions. And it was hoped that this
course would be followed in this cam
paign. 1t was hoped that if the can
didates supported By the Non-parti-
san league were defeated at the pri-
mary, they and their supporters
would support the Democratic ticket
in the fall campaign. And it was
hoped that if the candidates favored
by the league won. as they have done.
the voters who he'd opposed them
would array themselves beneath the
Democratic banner, at least until aft
er the fall election.
With the control Of state offices and
the state legislature which was to
have been gained in this manner. 1t
has been hoped that the wave might
