NEW BREED OF CATTLE.
They Are Said to be Popular i'm the
United States.

A new breed of dual purpose cat
tie, excelling alike in milk and beef
production, has just been making a
sensation in the United States, ac-
cording to Prof. Thomas Shaw, writ
ing in the May issue of Profitable
Farming magazine.
These are the South Devons, the
first importation to this country be-
ing made in 1914. They are the lar
ges. cattle in England, an idea of
their size being gained from the bull
Coleridge Hero, which weighed g.
$50 lbs.
As to milk production, one of the
Prize winners Of this breed, has q
record Of 61.2 pounds of milk, MAX
ing 81 pounds of butter in "a hours.
She was then 81 days in milk.
Professor Shaw maintains that the
dual purpose COW must be looked to
as the beef producer, declaring that
the beef of the future will come
from the little farms. He therefore
is much interested in the claims of
the South Devon owners.

CROWDS WITNESS McGREGOR
RUINS.
3, 200 Were There Monday, Boat
men Who Transferred Passen-
gers at ) Cent Fare Took
in $3.50 in One Day.

North McGregor, Iowa, June -
1t is estimated that over 5000 sight
'seers were here Monday to see the
ruin wrought by the flood Thursday
evening.
Between the Edgar restaurant and
Wingen lumber Office people were
transferred by boat, and west of
town where the big double iron
bridge over Bloody Run went out.
the crowds became SO hard for the
boatmen to handle that they put
boats end to end, laying boards on
the boats, making two pontoons
across Bloody Run, one for people
going and one for people returning.
The fare was five cents each way.
Sunday, the men in charge of these
two pCntoons, at 3 o'clock, had TAX
en- in over $3.50 in fares. Postcards
of the ruins were sold in so cents
and 81 lunches. The hotels and res
taurants were taxed to the limit to
feed the crowd that arrived by train
as near as they could get, and then
walked, while others came by auto
mobile and launches.

EAGLE GROVE STORE ROBBED.
Silks Estimated to- Be Worth $500 to
$500 Are Taken.

Eagle Grove, June 12.-The C. H.
Duer dry goods store of this city was
robbed Tuesday night of lot of
silks, estimated to be worth from
$500 to $500. The thieves obtained
entrance by raising window in the
rear of the store. They took off the
screen and by diligent prying forced
the window up in spite of couple OF
fasteners. The silks were at the
front of the store The thieves took
several colored pieces, but left one
LACK piece, which is the best seller
in silks. They also took several pie
ces of sousine silk, which is not eX-
pensive, which leads to the belief
that the thieves are not old hands at
the business. They left everything
in good order upon the shelf. The
wrappers from the several pieces
were found in the alley near the
Bowes rooming house. There is no
clue at the present time.
