OF all the farm animals the sheep
is best able to do its own grinding'
and with few exceptions whole gram
only should be furnished. The COM
mon saying Of feeders, "a sheep Whlcn
cannot grind it's own grain Is not
worth feeding" is truthful one. Vaiu-
able breeding sheep with poor teeth
may be continued in usefulness by De-
ing fed ground grain. In certain cases
grinding may prove beneficial AT the
Colorado station, when feeding west.

that much of the grain passed through
the animals unbroken. At the soutn
Dakota station Wilson and Skinner, on
feeding miIlet seed, which are small

yoided undigested. On grinding the
millet 1t proved highly satisfactory.
The legumes are the prime source
of roughage for sheep, clover and al
falfa in the East, alfalfa in the irri
gated regions OF the West, and the
cowpea, beggar weed and other plants
in the South. Glover, one OF the Des

COMFORTABLE BED FOR HOGS
Best TO Use Just Enough Bedding to
Keep Animals Warm and Change
Il at Least Weekly.

Hogs should be comfortably bedded'
but 1t is best to use just enough Ded-
ding to keep them warm, and to
change It once or twice a week. where
a large quantity Of bedding is sup
plied 1t becomes damp underneath
causing rheumatism; and dusty on top
giving the hogs dry, hacking cough.
Both dust and dampness are opposed
to thrift.
When hogs are not supplied witn
plenty of comfortable bedding in colo
weather, they pile on top of each other
to keep warm. In this way the unuer
ones become heated, and when they
get out into the cold air are easily
attacked by pneumonia and rheuma
tism. II the attack is not suflcien'
TO kill them, 1t makes them unthriity
II is best to allow only a limited mum
Der of hogs to sleep together, and tnel
should have such shelter and beddinl
that they can keep warm without DC
coming heated.

GREAT SUPERIORITY OF MULE
Animal Is Always Ready for Haro
Days Work--Economleal Machine
for Producing Power.

The great superiority of the mule
consists in his greater endurance Of
heat and severe labor, and ability TO
.subsist on less food. He Is without
doubt the most economical machine
for the production of power.
The mule is easily broken, as al
FARMERS who have handled them Will
testify, but it is a good thing to get
them used to being handled before
they get too old; then they are ready
for the regular work when you need
them.
Mules are ready for work younger
than horses. They are able to endure
as much at two years as a colt viii at
three or four.

PLAN FOR GOOD POTATO CROP
spindIins Sprouts Produce Weak and
Small Tubers - Test Seed Be-
fore Planting Time.

If you plant potatoes which produce
weak and spindling sprouts, you viii
not secure a good crop.
There is disease, found almost all
over the world, known as "spindling
sprout," which most of US have noticed
both in the field and In the cellar. You
have seen the seed potatoes with the
weak sprouts, and you have seen hills
in the fall which made nothing but lit
tie potatoes.
This disease is hereditary. Doctor
Hall, at the Geneva station, planted
40 Of these potatoes, and the yield
gave nothing but small potatoes, and
only about half pound to the hill
II is supposed that this weakness Is
produced by dry, hot weather in the
growing season. Potatoes like cool,
moist climate, and they run out in hot
and droughty conditions. Before plant
ing, give your seed sprouting test
say six weeks before planting. Sprout
some OF the seed in warm, dark
place. If all potatoes produce strong
sprouts, it is safe seed to plant. II
some of the potatoes bring the spin
ding sprouts, 1t is as unsafe to plan'
them as 1t would be to plant corn
good portion of which does not sprou
we'll.
II the seed is poor, secure bette
seed. This may be obtainable In tn
neighborhood, or it may be necessar'
to send to some northern climate TO

Removing the hot harness, in not

great relief to the horse and is really
worth while.
When a horse becomes colicky or
Is foundered, from too much grain or
cold water on warm stomach, there
is no one to blame but the one VINO
had him in charge and it is he who
must be charged with either ignorance
or carelessness. Horses are worth

was there one burglary case perpe-

Detectives Whitaker and kuntz

protected the crowds. | want to say
that the protection We gave the public

DEATH MEANS A MURDER CASE
Police Authorities Express Conviction!
That City Will Furnish Staying
Charge to Grand Jury.

Rock Island may furnish a murder
case for the investigation of the Sep
TENDER grand jury.
Fortino Baris, Kewanee Mexican,
who was stabbed by Francisco Garcia
in a fight staged at the corner of Tween
ty-frst street and Third avenue three
weeks ago, lies in precarious7 condi-
ton in st. Anthony's hospital and
wounds, which it was at first believed
would not prove serious, are now
thought will end fatally.
Baris was stabbed in the shoulder in
a fight that was witnessed by many
people Patrolman Berry saw it, but
arrived too late to prevent bloodshed.
He reached the side of the battling
pair just after Garcia plunged the
knife into Baris' shoulder.
The wound is serious because the
blade penetrated blood vessels just be-
low the shoulder blade. At first Baris
seemed to be getting better, but within
the last week he has suffered a re-
lapse and he is suffering from severe
hemorrhages.
Garcia was arraigned in police court
today. He is now charged with as
sault with intent to commit murder.
Should Baris die the charge will be
changed to murder. The case was
continued until next Saturday. Ben
Stuart represents Garcia.
Continue Assault Case.
The case against John Miller, ac-
cused of assault with intent to COM
nit murder, was also continued until
next Saturday. Richard Martin, whom
he is alleged to have assaulted, is still
in a serious condition and is unable to
appear for the prosecution.

last week after he is alleged to have
stolen three dozen silver spoons from
the kitchen of the Colonial hotel, was
arraigned in court and the case
against him was continued until next
Saturday. R. R. Reynolds is repre-
senting Miller.
Mike Manion of Davenport was re-
leased today. He was arrested Sat

and the Missionary society whirling in
the dance! The universal verdict would
be he isn't fit to preach, nor they to
rule in the house of God. Close up the
church and in blazing characters write
over the church door, that terrible
word. 'Ichabod" the glory is de-
parted" You would naturally be
shocked at such a spectacle. Then l
ask are you too, not in danger of dis
honoring the name of your Master and
bringing reproach on his cause when
you join with the world in advocating
its favorite amusement. Would you
be willing to go from the dance to the
judgment seat of Christ?
Any practice in which you cannot ask
Gods protection must be wrong. When
you come home from the ball in the
wee small hours" would you be will
ing to give thanks for the pleasure you
have had? If not it must be of doubt
full propriety to say the least.
1t tends to destroy your influence for
good. You may think you can in this
way win YOU companions to Christ, by
relaxing this high ideal of your religion,
and making 1t more genial, but as a
matter of fact you become confirmed
to their ways. Did you eyer know of
convicted soul sending for a dancing
church member to show them the way
of life? Or was there ever a dying
person who sent for such one, to pray
with and point them to Jesus9 Thous-
ands of cody persons will testify that
the practice works injury to the uncon-
verted and increases the danger of their
being lost.
1t checks the influence of revivals and
sinks awakened souls into the mire of
indifference. 1t leads to dissipation
and levity of manners, which unfit the
mind for contemplation of religious
topics Read Rom. 1872 and Col. 3:17,
2. 3.
Should we not strive to live as Christ
did when on earth? Does it make it's
votaries more upright? Does it make
better Christians? Did it ever convert
a sinner from the error of his ways?
We do not claim this. 1t is only an
amusement. Then why leave perfectly
legitimate ones to tamper with the
dangerous ones.
1t waists time, interrupts useful
study; leads to the indulgence of vanity
and tends to dissipation. 1t is conform
ing to the world; binders or destroys
Christians influences; diverts the mind
from serious thought: excites passion
and is training school for vice, and as
one said "blunt the moral sensibility
and represses forudent judgment and is
