,-4 IN THE Tolls

: Sheriff Jessup this week arrested
Dick Malloy at New Castle and brought
him to Glenwood where Marshal Rohr
of this city iswore out a complaint
charging Malloy with bootlegging on
March 81. The nature of the charg.
was that Malloy at that time had in
his possession an unusual amount Of
Intoxicating liquor, contrary to stat
utes, to-wit: one barrel Of whisky.
This barrel was shipped to Carbon
dale and Malloy transported it by auto
to Glenwood, but when near the polo
grounds became fearful of results aad
ditched the wet cargo and came to
town without it.
No satisfactory explanation has ever
been made as to what disposition was
made of the booze, but it is noticea-
BILE fact that the matter was of suffi-
cient Importance that Malloy and two
others implicated in the transaction
considered the affair of sufficient seri-
business to warrant their hasty exit
from Glenwood. Malloy was arrested
between New Castle and Divide creek
by Sheriff Jessup and brought to Clan
wood to answer to the charge of vio-
lating the prohibition law, but the other
parties have not yet been apprehendel.
The case was brought against Malloy
in the county court, and Judge Smith
appointed E. G. Kingsbury as special
prosecutor ON behalf Of the People.
When the case came to hearing

DISINFECT POULTRY
HOUSE FOR vERMIN
Sunshine Is Most Effective and
Economical Germicide That
Can Be Thought Of.

Ry N. L. HARRIS, Kansas State Agri-
cultural College)
One is safe in using almost any of
the common coal-tar dips that are on
the market for disinfecting poultry
houses. The most inexpensive Of these
products are the common stock dips
which should be mixed at home. Most
of the poultry sprays on the market
are NO hing more than the stock dips
ready for use.
The eggs of mites hatch in from
seven to ten days, so in order to get rid
of verrnin it is necessary to follow the
two-week rule. Occasionally the en-
tire house should be sprayed. The
spray is made up to a strength of 3 per
cent or three parts coal tar dip to 81
parts of water. Common kerosene Is
also effective in getting rid of lice and
mites. 1t Is used in proportion of 81
parts kerosene to three parts coal-tar
preparation. The ordinary hand or
bucket spray pump is used. The most
effective and economical germicide
that can be used at any time of the
year is sunshine.

COLT REQUIRES BOTH

(By PROF. M. G. THORNBURG, Depart

College)
To make an 1,800-pound horse at
maturity, the colt should weigh from
900 to 700 pounds at weaving time
and 1000 pounds at one year. To
make the usual standard of 60 per
cent mature weight at IL months,
the growing colt needs more food than
the milk given him by his mother.
Some oats, fed In a separate box so
his mother cannot get 1t, is better for
growth than corn because 1t is more
balanced feed. A little bran and corn
will do If the oats are not available.
Even If the colt Is on pasture, he needs
a little grain.

added to the building and this neces-
states the construction of a good un-
derpinning which will keep the build

cracks in the concrete work. The en-
tire floor is made of concrete, with gut

alley floor is raised slightly above
these.
The equipment of the barn is such
as will eliminate all possible manual
work in doing the chores. Silage is
taken in a feed carrier down the feed
alley to the managers, on either side,
from the small feed room at the end
of the alley. A hopper is provided
in the feed room so that the material
is loaded directly into the carrier with
out extra handling. This carrier is
also used to take feed to the horse

tary conditions.
The final point of Importance in the
design of this barn is the ventilating
system. The value of good ventilation
in dairy and horse barn can hardly
be overestimated. 1t is not only of
prime Importance in keeping the live
stock In the best of health, but it even
goes so far as to effect the amount of
feed which is required to maintain the
stock. Foul air, robbed of it's oxygen
content, is not effective in keeping the
temperature of the animals up to the
normal value which is required for
good health, and as result the cattle
and horses must eat more food to bring
up the temperature of their bodies.

HERD OF DuAL-PuRPosE sAoRTHoRN cows.

the Shorthorn has a docile tempera-
ment that has long been factor in Its
popularity. Shorthorn blood has a
very decided potency and improves all
classes of stock upon which 1t may
be used.
The Live Stock Journal, London,
England, July 20 issue, states edito-
rally as follows:
'In the matter of the adaptability
of breeds let it never be forgotten that
the great source of improved beef
blood the world over has been the
Shorthorn. The milk stock of New
England and the Longhorn of Texas
both received their first improvement
through the heritage from Bates and
Booth and the Ceilings. In the blue
grass region the sons and daughters
of Durham found their best environ
ment, and the Shorthorn became then,
as 1t still remains, the backbone of
the corn belt and the stay of the gem
eral farmer. In the West and South
west the first warming up given the
scrub and Mexican cattle was at the
hands of this breed; the rise In the
beef industry in the Argentine is al
most inseparable from the expansion
Of the Shorthorn interests, while from
20 to so per cent of the Australasian
chilled beef is evolved from grass be-
meath red, white and roam pelts. In
such a manner this British breed Of
generalized achievement encircles
the world. Its adaptability grants 1t
the pioneering quality; its all-around
usefulness DEGREES It's permanence."
The Polled Durham Is the hornless
Shorthorn, and a favorite with many
on account of its hornless feature. The
red Polled breed is also a favorite In
some sections and combines the beef
and milk characteristics. But the
Shorthorn has been the favorite from
one end of the country to the other
because of the several qualities that
are combined and that are produced
| from generation to generation, work
| ing improvement wherever applied.
1t is this dual purpose characteristic
that suits the purposes of the great
mass of farmers who, for various rea-
sons, do not engage in specialized
farming. Mixed husbandry has long
been recognized as the foundation Of
our agricultural prosperity and the
Shorthorn has admirably and success
fully contributed in large measure to
the advancement of diversified farm
ing.

(By FRANK ID. TOMSON)
Comparatively few farms are adapt
ed to strictly special purposes and
fewer farmers are inclined to special
lied vocations. The income on the
farm is usually of larger value when
derived from several sources. The
maintenance of live stock is neces-
sity in order to maintain fertility. The
production of live stock necessitates
grasses for pastures and meadows
which conserve and build up the soil
fertility. Crop rotation naturally fol-
lows.
The question arises as to what breed
Of live stock is best adapted to the
conditions and will insure the largest
returns. Long experience has proved
the combination of beef and milk pro-
duction the most profitable and best
adapted to the varying conditions in
all parts of the country. Here and
there man devotes his entire atten-
ton and resources to beef making; ex-
elusive dairying is engaged in by a
limited number; but the great mass
of farmers are neither inclined to nor
situated so that they can engage to the
best advantage in these individual or
specialized lines.
The breed of cattle that meets the
needs of this large aggregation of av-
erage farmers, that suits their condi-
tons, that may be relied upon to yield
a profitable return, is the breed that
experience has shown combine a prof
table yield of both beef and milk.
There are several breeds that combine
to a greater or less degree these char
acteristics. The Shorthorn is the
most widely disseminated and has
been bred in greater numbers for
many generations. The distinctive
characteristics of the breed are adapt
ed to the conditions described. When
not in milk the cows readily take on
flesh, and If occasionally one does not
yield liberal flow, she quickly con
verts the feed consumed into beef and

paying more attention to sanitary con-
ditions and ventilation in their live
stock-housing quarters.
At this time of the year many farm
ers are locking forward to the winter
months and are building new barns
which will provide them with the best
possible means of housing their cows
and horses in quarters equipped in
such a way that healthful conditions
may be maintained without excessive
labor. Those who have found the wis
dom of feeding ensilage have usually
had their new silo constructed and
filed on the site of the proposed barn.
The favored structure is combina-
ton dairy and horse barn such as is
shown in the illustrations.
This particular structure is SO feet

the latest practice in farm-building ar

stalls are placed crossways of the barn

not be content with knowing what is
to be done today, but he must know
what follows tomorrow and the next
day and the next. Farming is every
day becoming less and less an "easy-
go-lucky" life, suitable for the man
who is too lazy to do anything else,
and it is becoming systematic bust
ness requiring careful planning and
alert attention to details.
The modern farmer has already rec
ognizezd the fact that he cannot work
without the tools of his trade, and he
has set about finding the best way to
do the man ytasks of farm life with
the minimum expediture of manual
effort. The result is expressed in the
many farm implements and devices
which have during recent years been
placed upon the market. Time which
may be saved by the use of machinery
Is time which may be devoted to more
careful planning and the establishment
of more perfect organization in the
system of management which governs
the farm work.
Not only is the creative genius of
the farmer directed toward the inven-
ton and improvement of machines to
help him in his daily work, but he is
called upon to work out the proper de-
sign and arrangement of farm build
ings which will keep pace with the
modern methods of farming and the
latest practice in ventilation and sani-
tation. 1t is true that every farmer
cannot be an inventor, but it is the
farmer in general whose needs are re-
sponsible for the effort which is made
to produce these improvements, and
his suggestions are very often the en-
bodiment of the ideas which make
them possible.
All progressive farmers who realize
that this call is being made upon their
ability to produce the improvements
necessary for the advance of modern
methods in farming, even though they
cannot offer anything themselves, are
affected by the spirit of the thing
They are alert to see that which Is

cow IS DESERVING
OF ESSENTIAL REST
Without 1t Animal Cannot Lay Up
Requisite Supply of Fat for
New Lactation Period.

(By CARL e. JOHNSON, Idaho Expert
ment Station.)
The accumulated experience of pro-
gressive dairymen proves that COW
should have a rest between lactation
periods. If MIXED continuously up to
the time of freshening, the period into
which she freshens will be less profit
able than the preceding. Without rest
it Is impossible for her to renew her
depleted strength or to lay up sup
ply of fat for the new laetation period,
nor can she properly nourish the now
rapidly growing foetus.
1t may seem like wasting feed to lay
fat on a cows body, but in reality 1t
is not, for the fat will later anpear as
freshens she is usually more or less
feverish, and her digestion impaired
to a certain extent. To place her on
full feed at this time is to invite trou-
BILE. But if she is in good condition
the Withholding of her feed will result
in no harm, inasmuch as her needs
will be taken care of by the fat stored
ON the body. A thin COW has no such
reserve and one has to choose between
decreased production or take chances
on her powers to stand up under full
feed.
A COW should be given at least six
weeks rest. Ii intermittent and par
tial milking fails to dry her up, with
holding the grain ration and feeding
roughage such as timothy and straw
will be found helpful. Ten days or
two weeks should be allowed COW to
reach full feed after freshening.

holes in them. If each farmer and au-
tomobilist would follow the example
set by that progressive community In
Washington, this state would soon
have much better roads, says Florida
Grower.
There Is an old saying that "a stitch
in time saves nine," and this applies
forcibly to keeping up roads. When
small hole appears fill 1t up. Don't
wait for the other fellow to do 1t, be-
cause rain may come along before
the fellow does, and by washing the
dust out leave place for wheels
to drop in and make the hole larger.
Rough roads are expensive for every
one travelling over them. Wagons suf-
fer as well as automobiles. The strain
soon racks the wheels, spring the axles
and increase the draft of the wagon,
thus making it much harder on the
team.
Automobiles suffer more than wag-
ons because they travel at higher
speed. Springs, axles, wheels and all
parts suffer and the car Is soon ready
for the junk heap.
DIR. w. 9. Etheridge, professor Of
agronomy in the University of Flor
ida College of Agriculture, is very
much in favor of the "chuck-hole"
club" idea, and urges in addition that
farmers use the King drag on the road
along their property after each rain.
