NEW CONVERT TO HOG RAISING

Because he believes he can make a
better living of Of 30 acres in hogs
than he could as a veterinarian, DR..
f. w. Taylor of Maxwell, Iowa, has
given up his practice and has taken a
five year lease of 20 acres of Iowa
land. With diploma from Chicago
veterinary college in his pocket and
four years of successful veterinary
practice, he understands thoroly the
matter of hog sanitation and he feels
confident that he can fight off the
cholera.

on my 20 acres" DR.. Taylor told
Prof. J. Buchanan of the Iowa ex-
pertinent station, who visited him re-

buy my corn directly from them.

DR.. Taylor is beginning with little

DR.. Taylor is keeping in touch with
the Iowa State college and experiment,

neighbors do not quite agree with
him, he has made it his motto to al.
ways take another man with him
when he visits Ames. Not long age
a neighbor bought an entire herd OF
40 pure bred Holstein cows on the
advice of DR.. Taylor.

PRELIMINARY HEARINGS HELD

The preliminary hearing for Will
liam and John Smith, the two boys
who a week ago Monday night threat
ened to derail the Northwestern af-
ternoon train, a short distance this
side of Manning, was held Monday,
at Carroll.
In the preliminary hearing, it was
shown that William was the instigat-
or and perpetrator of the deed to
wreck the train. John, his cousin,
states that he tried to persuade Will
liam from committing the deed, and
gave him no assistance whatever.
The action of the justice was to bind
William Smith, aged twenty-one, over
to the grand jury; while John, aged
nineteen, was released. The boys,
whose homes are in Omaha and Coun-
ell Bluffs, have been working this
season for farmer near Manning.
The offense with which the boys
were charged was the placing of ties
at two different places across the
rails, and also placing spikes between
the rails. The engineer noticed the
obstructions on the track, and stop
ped the train before any damage was
done. The engine, when stopped,
barely touched the ties, and it is
thought that the ties, and spikes be-
tween the rails would have caused a
derailment of the train, if the OBJ
struction had not been seen in time
to avert the accident. The charge
against William Smith is punishable
by sentence from two years to life
in the penitentiary. When asked
why he placed the distractions upon
the track. he stated that he merely
desired to hear the trainmen cuss.

But the fair appeals to that trait
of mankind which demands enter
tainment and amusement and be-
comes common forum for the dis
cussion of all matters having to do
with agriculture, industry, the home
and the school.
In this clearing house of education
the farmer learns what the manufac-
turer, the merchant and the banke'
are and have been doing to make his
labor less arduous and his farm moro
profitable and the town resident
learns what rapid progress is being
made in agriculture. A bond of COM
mon interest is created which means
much to both town and country.
Value to Everybody
The farmer learns by actual OBJ
servation of the newest devices and
improvements in agricultural nipple
ments. He learns their use and bene-
fits. He learns in what way they
assist in soil cultivation, in plan,
growth, in sowing, in harvesting, III
Ithreshing. He learns the economic
value of the more modern machin-
cry, of the silo, of motor power on
the farm.
The urban dweller is furnished a
vivid picture of the agricultural re-
sources of the community. He learns
about the fertility of the soil in the
vicinity; of what is being done to in
crease the farm yield; to improve the
quality o fthe stock, and to multiply
the total dairy product.
Every man and woman, whether

into closer touch with the home life
of others. All imbibe that broader
education which means cooperation
that ideal education which is ser
vice to self and all humanity.

HAS LEG AMPUTATED

Mrs. j. II. Richards of this city,
received a letter Friday telling of an
operation upon her brother, II. A.
Barger, for the removal of his limb,
He is at present living at Decatur,
Illinois, and was a number of years
a resident of Audubon. He has been
a cripple number of years, and the
injured member has given him so
much trouble of late that it was
thought best to amputate the same.
His Audubon friends trust that the
operation was successful, and that he
will recover from the effects of the
same. Mr.. Barger is also a brother
of w. l.. Barger.

VALUE OF FAIR TO OUR PEOPLE

The fair is an educational clearing
house. 1t is an agricultural and in
dustrial institute for residents of both
town and country. 1t is short course
in better farming and better living.
1t is a physical demonstration of why
the man farms with his head insteau
of with his hands must inevitably
succeed.
1t is comprehensive exhibition o
what the ambitious boy or girl may
achieve in agriculture, livestock
raising, dairying, horticultural, home
gardening, domestic science or house
hold economy. 1t is an exposition oil
the marvellous improvement in farm
machinery and agricultural imple-
ments. 1t is an object lesson in the
great part which improved machinery
plays in the development and Guilt
walton of the farm and the increased
prosperity of the farmer.
Look for Yourself
The chief educational value of our
fair lies in the fact that it is demon
strative in character. The eye is a
more convincing instructor than the
ear. We are slow to accept and be-
lieve in any new method until we
have had optical proof of its super
iority over the old.
Often it is difficult to secure the at
tention of the busy man or woman
long enough to give such a demon
stration. Not infrequently it hap
pens that farmers who would be mos,
benefited by better methods of farm
ing are not sufficiently interested to
be present at any special meeting
called for the purpose of discussing
the subject.

While going down stairs into the
cellar of their home Sunday, Mrs. T..
H. Turner, accidentally caught her
foot, and fell from the second land
ing to the floor below, suffering a bad
double fracture of her left arm, just
below the elbow. 1t is a very bad
fracture, and Monday morning she
was taken to Manning to have an X
Ray examination made. Mrs. Turner
has the sympathy of all because of
her accident. and it is hoped that the
fracture will mend rapidly and that
she will suffer no Inconvenience
later on.

MORE ABOUT SWEET CLOVER

That sweet clover will not grow on
plowed ground is the claim made by
farmers in some parts of Iowa. The
Iowa experiment station men do not
agree with this, however. A flourish
ing crop in Ringgold county that was
sown on plowed ground has been
called to their attention. The field is
alongside the road from Mt Ayr to
Ellston.
