FARM ERs OF TREYNoR FIND NEW
METHOD OF SENDING PORK.
Frs TO MARKET.
SEVEN TRUCKS HANDLE
CARLOAD TO OMAHA
New Industry Developed Thru Failure
Of Railroad to Give service-Truek
Company Has Much Business In
Prospeet-Shrinkase Not as Heavy
as by Rail and Time is Saved. q

Treynor, July 24-F. H. SCHULTZ, OF
Treynor inaugurated new method OF
hauling hogs to South Omaha Thurs
day when he marketed full car load
of porkers in auto trucks. 1t took
seven trucks to handle the shipment.
Ben Volkens, later sent in three
truck loads; Peter Engel made large
shipment and Sunday J. c. strohbehn
will motor over a car load.
The first few shipments will he just
experimental" said Mr.. Schultz. THE
transfer company which is handling
the hogs for US is making us a rate OF
80 cents per hundred for the first few
punches, and then when they have
something to go on they will draw up
a regular schedule. There is certain
to he business for them, as we nave
been without good shipping facilities
for some time Since. the Iowa and
Omaha Short line quit operating we
have had to haul hogs ten miles or
more to get to a railroad town. That
long wagon haul was expensive IN
more ways than one, for in addition
to paying % cents per hundred. we
had to stand some heavy shrinks.
BY truck it takes only two hours and
a half to get the hogs from home to
Omaha yards, and the shrink is not as
heavy as when shipping on the rail-
road.
The trucks are sent over from
Omaha in the evening after the regu-
lar days work is done. and as they
lose no time, it ought TO be a profit
able deal for all concerned. There Will
be other shipments, there being about
twenty loads of hogs ready to come
right now
Mr. Schultz, who is the manufaC-
turer of hog oiler. is pushing this
new shipping stunt to the limit. as he
believes it will he big thing for his
section. He reports small grains all
cut and threshing started. The yield
Of both wheat and oats is expected to
be heavy, and quality is said to be ex-
cellent. AS is the case all over the
corn belt, farmers never had better
prospects Of corn crop than they
have right now.

Range: Breeds in the United States,

Habits and economic status: The
red-tailed hawk, or "hen-hawk," as it
is commonly called, is one of the best
known Of all our birds of prey, and is
widely distributed species Of great
economic importance. Its habit of sit.
ting on some prominent limb or pole
in the open, or flying with measured
wing beat over prairies and sparsely
wooded areas on the lookout for its
favor1te prey, causes 1t to be noticed
by the most Indifferent observer. Al
though not as omnivorous as the red
shouldered hawk, 1t feeds on variety
Of food, as small mammals, snakes
frogs, insects, birds, crawfsh, cent?

where rattlesnakes abound it destroys

four troops of cavalry marched across
the camp yesterday evening to entrain
for the border the First regiment of
infantry and the three batteries Of
artillery gave them an ovation which
eclipsed any previous demonstration
staged at the Iowa mobilization camp.
Two or three hundred visitors from

Mexican border, but it was the men
in the other guard companies who
played the principal part in the fare
well ceremonies.

squadron marched to the interurban
station in solid formation, four
abreast. Their line of march was di-
rectly thru the camp of the First in
fantry.
While the troopers filed by, the
First infantry band, from Cedar
Rapids. played national airs and all
of the troops turned out of their tents
and cheered a loud farewell to the
horsemen.
Iowa's cavalry troopers left Des
Moines with light hearts and with a
feeling of malice toward no one,
after playing the leading part in the
biggest problem that ever bothered
state military authorities.
The other boys treated us royalty,
in spite Of the fact that we were
branded as slackers when we were in
North Liberty" Maj. r. P. Howell said
as his train left the camp station.
When we arrived at Camp Dodge the
other boys all came down with their
bands and as We are leaving they are
giving us a mighty fine send off. 1t
shows a fine spirit on the part of the
Iowa militia"

TRiChINOSIS AT CARSON.
James Braden Critically III as Result Of
Eating Raw Pork.

Special to Times Republican.
Carson, July 24.-James Braden, 20
years of age, has a we'll developed case
of trichinosis and is in very critical
condition from the dread disease. He
was taken i'll three weeks ago with
what the physician diagnosed as ty-
phoid fever and began treatment for
that ailment, but later when his patient
grew worse a blood test was made
which revealed the real cause of the
young mans illness.
Young Braden has always been very
fond of rare meats and had INDUCED
his appetite in raw pork several times
during the summer, which he regarded
highly as delicacy. To this fact and
habit was traced the source Of the dis
ease.
The patients joints and muscles have
