STILL AFRAID OF ALFALFA.
Tenant So Opposed That He Moves
Rather Than Grow It.

When a tenant on Il farm in a GER
tain part of Iowa was told recently by
his landlord that he was to grow alfalfa
next year. he refused to cooperate and
said that he would move first. His
landlord happened to be Il woman with
a mind of her own, so she told him to
move, for she was determined to have
alfalfa on her farm.
In telling of her experience to work
err from the Iowa State College recent
ly, she reported that many of the farm
ers in that neighborhood were still OPP
posed to alfalfa because they think 1t
will not grow. There is no occasion for
this feeling, on the part of the farmers
in this region. however, since the Iowa
experiment station has determined by
actual demonstration that with proper
lining Il good crop of alfalfa can be Sc

Maxwell Doctor Gives UP Veterinary
Practice For 1t.
Because he believes he can make a
better living off of 20 acres in hogs than
he could as veterinarian, DIR. +. W.
Taylor of Maxwell, has given up his
practice and has taken five years
lease of 20 acres of Iowa land. With a
diploma from Chicago veterinary col
lege in his pocket and four years OF
successful veterinary practice, he UNI
derstands thoroly the matter Of hog
sanitation and he feels confident that
he can fight off the cholera.
II am not going to grow any corn on
my 90 acres" DR.. Taylor told Prof. j.
Buchanan, of the Iowa experiment sta
ton, who visited him recently. MY
neighbors do not believe as much in
live stock as I do, so l can buy my
corn directly from them. 1 shall put
all of my land in alfalfa and hogs"
DR.. Taylor Is beginning with little
capital. He has built up his hog pens
with 2X4s and II foot boards. He did
not cut a board in building them.
The floor is of hollow block tile. no,
! cementcd, but just laid on. Occasion
ally he can move the houses to an.
other spot.
DR.. Taylor is keeping in touch with
the Iowa State College and experiment
station men. Because some of his
neighbors do not quite agree with him
he has made it his motto to always take
another man with him when he visits
Ames. Not long ago Il neighbor bought
an entire herd of 40 pure bred Holstein
cows on the advice of DR.. Taylor.

then straight march down the stage,

Special to Times Republican.
Des Moines, July 2S-W. j. Dixon,
chairman of the state board OF control,
has returned from Rockwell City where
with the aid Of an engineer he has
located the sites for the twenty eight
buildings to be erected for the
Woman's Reformatory. Six Of these
buildings will be started this saSOn,
the contracts having already been let.
The buildings for which the con-
tracts have already been let are the
administration building, pathology
ing and two cottages. B. F. Egbert
has been appointed superintendent OF
construction.
A switch track has ben laid into the
grounds 50 that materials can be
brought in by the car load. Much of
the brick to be used will be made in
the brick plant maintained by the
board at the inebriate asylum at
Knoxville.
Twenty-Five to Cottage.
The cottages in which the women
will be housed will be built to accom-
modate about twenty-five. They will
be built around central plaza and
will be so constructed that the women
in one cottage cannot see into an ad-
joining cottage.
This plan of having the women in
small groups instead of being con-
fined in one large building is according
to the most approved methods of dis
cipline and correction. The cottage
lis more like a home and there is more
inspiration and less temptation in
small groups than in the big prison or
reformatory, prison authorities de-
clare.
The board has not yet determined
on superintendent Tor the reforma-
tory. One Iowa woman who has had
considerable experience in the east
was rendered the position, but she re-
fused to give up her work in New
York City to come back to this state.
The board hopes to secure woman
superintendent who has had experience
in some of the modern reformatorcs
for women where the best ideas In dis
ciplne and correction have been
worked out.

This will make matters next year just
as bad as before. Every effort to get
