OCEAN GOING RAFT
CARRY LUMBER ACROSS

Boston, Nov. "a One of the
marvels of the age, according to
the marine authorities, an imyen-
tfon which will make possible the
tow ing of 216,000 cubic feet of
lumber safely across the Atlantic
ocean has been completed at pro-
vincial port according to adyhces
received I'M Boston yesterday.
No matter how severe the storms
or how dangerour the undertaking,
the big raft is so constructed that
1t will be able to make the long
trip without ang1 possibility off loss
or damage. Most of the machinery
used in this initial craft cam be
used over again, and so the cost
of construction, estimated at close
to 30, 900 will not affect the busi-
ness end of the undertaking..
The lumber, said to be sorely
needed on the other side, is valued
at 10000. The big raft had been
under construction for several
months, seventy men being em-
ployed all the time on the WORK
of building it.

little CHILD CRUSHED
TO DEATH UNDER WAGON

We were sorry to leran of the
tragic death of the little child of
Mr. and Mrs Cal Shook of Panora.
The little one was crushed to death
under the wheels of a wagon heav-
lily loaded. They recently moved
from this township, Baker, to their
present hcne near Panora. We
feel their loss more keenly for
the reason that when. a child her
self, Mrs Shook was member OF
our school at 'Brushy College
near Extra Audubon county. She
is a daughter of Mr. amid Mrs
Charley Oberholtz. pioneer settlers
of Hamlin town!ship, Audubon co.
We are thus plain because many
of the THINGS former residents of
Audubon county were well aqualnt-
ed with the Oberholtz family be-
fore they moved to the vicinity
ok Palclora some twenty years ago.

TO MEMBERS COUNTY
COUNCIL OF DEFENSE
By The Governor.

By The Governor.
The present serious shortage of
hogs threatens disaster to our
cause. Europe and the United
States are short 40,00O,00O hogs
now. The fighting efficiency of
or armies and the atrmies cf
our allies can only be maintained
by increasing pork production.
The United States government asks
iowa to increase the production of
ohgs 25 per cent. AS Indicating
what the government is willing to
do to- increase the production of
hogs, quote the following from
the Omitted States Food Admnnistra-
ticn. 1.-The prices will not go below
a minimum of about 1850 per hum
dred weight for the average of
thu packers droves ON the Chicago
market Let there be no mis-
understanding of th1s statement. 1t
is MOT guarantee backed by
money. 1t is not promise by
the packers. 1t is a statement of
Intention and policy of the Food
Admin, ,stration which means to do
justice to the farmer."
The government also states that
as to hogs farrowed next spring
1--WE Will try and establish the price
so that the farmer cam count DIN
getting for each 100 pounds of
hog ready for market thirteem times
the average cost per bushel OF
the corn fed into the hogs Thhs
mean, if the corn is worth LOO
per buehel that hogs will be
worth not less than 1900 per hum
dred, or if corn is worth 1.25
Per bushel that hogs will be
worth 1926 per cwt.
l am adYtsed that approximately
SO Per cent OF THE corn in the
state is soft and unsalable, but
this corn fed into hogs can be
sold at proflt.
AS Governor OF the state, l
urge upon you the Emperative
necessity of giving every help to
this campaign and of leaving moth
ing undone that you can possibly
do to aid in this great patriotic
work. -.

RIGHT MANAGEMENT OF BOAR
Animal Should Not Be Used Very
Much Until One Year. oId-keep
In Best Of Condition.

A boar should not be used very
much on sows until he is one year old,
nor for heavy service until two years
old. II one wants to develop boar
to the highest possibility it is not
well to use him at all under one year
old.
One service per dry is enough, but
In case two sows are to be served in
one day, breed one in the morning
and the other in the evening, and let
the boar rest day or SO before using
him again. One service to sow is
all that is necessary. With such a
treatment mature boar should be
able to handle SO or 60 sows during u
breeding season.
The boar should be kept in good
condition oil the year, but not SO fat
as to be lazy and clumsy. His ration
should be increased before the breed
ing season, In order to have him gain
ing at the time he is being used. This
keeps him in good condition, and bet
ter results may be obtained.

R0UGHAGES OF FARM
TURNED INTO MONEY
One Of Chief Advantages in Keep
Ing Live Stock Is Utilization
Of Cheap Feeds.

By c. A. WILSON. Kentucky EXPERT.
ment Station.)
The chief advantage that would re-
suit from the keeping of live stock on
the majority Of farms is that to a
large extent the returns would be ad-
ditional to those realized when live
stock was not kept. These returns
would be additional because live stock
would turn the roughages Of the farm,
that are now going to waste. into
money, More than one half the fod.
der In this state goes to waste every
year. For every head of cattle in the
state there are produced three acres
Of corn, which will average one ton
OF slower per acre. One and one-haf
tons of slower is more than is needed
to winter one head of cattle. There is
going to waste then, every year In
this state, 100000 tons OF corn slower,
which at a valuation of 50 per ton
means loss to the farmers Of the
state. through lack of proper utfli-
cation Of feeds by cattle, Of over $28..
100000.

SC0URS IN CALVES

Animals Should Have Warm,
Clean and Well-ventiIated
Pens-Feed Grain.

Thousands Of calves are lost each
year by what is known as scours, says
II. II. Kildee, University farm, st.
Paul. On every farm measures should
be taken to guard against this dis
ease, which results from a deranged
digestive system.
Calves should have warm, clean,
light and well-ventilated pens. Milk
should be fed on regular amounts, at
regular times, at temperature OF
about 80 degree F., from scrupuiously
clean pals. The foam which accum.
ulates on the milk while it is being
separated should meyer be fed.

What Is Uric cAcid T

Everyone has uric acid in the system,
out naturally in small quantities. Ex-
,essive amount is caused by eating too
much meat and foods that fermant in
stomach. The kidneys, being the filters
Of the blood, are supposed to separate
and throw the poisons out of the system.
Weak, tired and overworked Kidneys
fail to do this, hence the uric acid accu-
imulates and the urate salts are carried
by the blood to the solid tissue structure,
causing backache, lumbago, rheuma-
tism, dropsy, drowGiness, and tired
feeling.

1 Difference N
THE INVESTMENT
The Western Canada Farm Prof.
it's Are Away In Excess.

Mr.. George II. Barr. of Iowa. hold
seven sections of land In Saskatche
wan. These he has fenced and rent
ed, either for pasture or cultivation,
all paying good interest on the invest.
ment.
Mr.. Barr says that farm land al
home In Iowa II held at $50 per acre.
These lands are In q high state Of cul'
tivation, with splendid Improvements
In houses, barns, stables and silos, and
yet, the revenue returns-from them are
only from two to three per cent per
annum on Investment.
Last year, 1915. his half share Of
crop on a quarter section In Saskatche-
wan, wheat on new breaking. gave him
IS per cent on the capital Invested
$500 an acre. The crop yield was
IS bushels per acre. This year the
same Quarter-section, sown to Red
Fife on stubble gave 3,2S6 bushels. His
share, 1,643 bushels of Northern ut
$1.5G per bushel. gave him $2,563.OS.
Seed. half the Irvine and half the
threshing bill cost him $453OO. Allow.
ing a share of the expense of his an
nual inspection trip, charged to this
Quarter-section even to $1,000, and he
has left 100000. that is 90 per cent
of the original cost of the land. Any
one can figure up that another aver
age crop will pay, not 2 or 8 per cent
on investment, as In Iowa, but the
total price of the land. Mr.. Barr says
''That's no joke now"
Mr.. Barr was instrumental in bring
ing a number Of farmers from Iowa to
Saskatchewan in 1913. He referred to
one of them, Geo. II. Kerton, tenant
farmer in Iowa. He bought quarter
section of improved land at $1,000 an
acre near Hanley. From proceeds Of
crop in 1914, 1915, 1916, ne has paid
for the land. Mr.. Barr asked him n
week ago: swell, George, what shall
I tell friends down home for your"
The reply was: "Tell them shall
never go back to be a tenant for any
man." Another man, Charles Haight,
realized $4,000 In cash for his wheat
crops in 1915 and 1916.
Mr.. Barr when ut home devotes
most Of his time to raising and deal
ing in live stock. On his first visit OF
inspection to Saskatchewan, he real
lied the opportunity there was here
for grazing cattle. So his quarter
sections, not occupied, were fenced
and rented as pasture lands to farm
ers adjoining. His creed is: LET ma
ture supply the feed all summer while
cattle are growing, and then In the
fall, take them to farmsteads to be
finished for market. There IL money
In it."-Advertisement. -.
