Jim Scott owns a generous slice of
Crawford county soil, about three
miles northwest of the town Of Dow
City. 1t is known as Orchard Hill
farm. Mr.. Scott has turned the active
management of the farm to his son, Y.
a G. Nevertheless, Mr.. Scott is quite
busy around the farm. They had not
lulcuuCu u lccu SlecFS tuiS WUlcT,
but the soft corn induced them to find
an outlet for it, through the feed lot.
Recently +. G. went to Omaha and pur-
4 chased two car loads Of steers, mostly
Angus, and they are now doing their
best to eat up all Of the corn, both
matured and soft, on the farm. A car
OF hogs are also being fed. Mr.. Scott
has twenty acres to alfalfa and finds
it q profitable crop to feed. He feeds
It to all stock and thinks it can't be
beat as a mich COW feed.
- Charter Oak Times: DR.. Gustav A
Kay, a skilled veterinarian in the en-
plOy of the government, was in Char
ter Oak yesterday to look after few
4 cases OF hog cholera that had been
reported from this vicinity. He had
reports from Henry Kuhlmann, Carl
Schroeder and Ferdinand Schelm. He
went out to these herds, hoping the re-
ports were false or that the trouble
had already been put under control.
The matter of meats has become so i'm
portant to the world that the general
government has taken up the matter
sof protecting the herds against these
contagious diseases. II your hogs get
sick, notify Gustave A. Kay, Harlan,
Iowa, and he will be Johnny on the
Spot to help you with them. The gov
eminent is paying him, so his services
will be free to you. .-

: Tin some states there was land that
Dit was almost impossible to even raise
trouble on which has been selling for
u fifty to a hundred dollars per acre the
past summer and fall. Land values
have been going upper and upper"
~all over the United States, and good
old peerless Iowa has furnished much
OF the money to buy the said land.
What would the southern and western
Estates have done if it had not been
for Iowa capital to develop them?
Then again, where would this Iowa
money have come from ii it had not
: been possible to raise it from our fer
title soil. Great is Iowa, and its farm.

A. J. Larson is building hog house
= on his farm six miles southeast of
Charter Oak. The building will be
18x28 Speaking Of hog houses re-
minds me that the best hog houses
have seen were built after plans fur
FINISHED by the Agricultural college at
Anles. Any man contemplating build
ing such a building should first send
to the college for plans; they cost al
). most nothing, only few cents. I
have on my desk bulletin No. 1G6
which has number Of pictures of hog
houses such as should be built on the
Crawford county farms. Also bulletin
No. 152 which contains pictures of
movable hog houses and description
of how to build the same. Each book,
or bulletin, has store house of useful
oinformation in regard to such build
ings l wish every farmer in this
county had copy Of these bulletins.
Sit right down after reading this and
TASK the experiment station of Iowa
State college at Ames to send them to
you. They will gladly do SO.
