FORTUNE WASTED IN GARBAGE.
Table Refuse in Iowa Would Feed
$4,000 Hogs Annually.

Eighteen thousand hogs, worth
at least half million dollars, could
be raised on the garbage thrown away
each year il Iowa, figures the extern
sion veterinarian at Ames. Besides
this huge saving, cleaner and more
sanitary cities would result from such
a system of disposing of necessary
garbage.
"Conservatively, the garbage thrown
away from each town of 5000 peo-
pie would feed from $50 to 200 hogs
a year." he says, granting that al
ready that much garbage in towns
of 500 and less is fed to hogs.
The estimate is also low enough to
take into account the fact that war
economy has cut down the garbage
supply. Practically 100000 peo-
pie in Iowa live in towns of 5000
and above. The garbage from these
towns would thus feed an average of
$4,000 hogs a year, worth at least
$500, 1000.
The plan is not new. Kansas City
feeds 1900 a year from her garb-
age. Des Moi1es is starting the plan.
Fl. Dodge last year successfully fed
large number of hogs from her gar
bage. Manhattan, Kan, town OF
5000, feeds 200 hogs year from her
garbage.
One of the best systems, the Ames
veterinarian believes, is for the city
to pass an ordinance requiring peo-
to put their garbage in covered cans,
separating all glass and tins from 1t
and then selling to one or more men
the privilege of collecting it for hog
feeding. Hogs thus fed must be lin
ished for the last month or so on corn
for the best finish, he says.

ANOTHER NEW POTATO PERIL.
Marshalktown Worm Promises to
Rival Logan "Bi1l Bug"

Marshalltown, July 16.-Growers
of potatoes, and there are many in
Iowa this season, will do we'll to look
over their vines for the potato stalk
borer, a small worm, from threequar-
tiers of an inch to al inch and half
in length, striped with white down the
back, and with a brown head.
Local growers, noticing small hole
in a stock while looking for the
Colorado beetle, or potato bug, in
yestigated and found the worm a
bove described. 1t oats the heart
out of the stalk, and soon the pla1t
withers. Without the vine the po-
tatoes beneath the ground will not
mature.

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot be
Cured by local applications, as
they cannot reach the diseased por-
tions of the ear. There is only
one way to cure catarrhal deaf
ness, and that is by constitution
al remedy. Catarrhal deafness Is
caused by an inhamed condition
of the mucous lining of the Eus-
tachian Tube. When this tube is
infamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, when
it ia entirely closed, Deafners is
the result. Unless the infamma-
tion can be reduced and this tube
restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever.
Many cases of deafness are caused
by catarrh, which Is and iDfamed
condition of the mucous surface.

rains, which fell slowly and
were absorbed by the ground.
On Sunday night there was a
fair shower, followed by an
other on Tuesday afternoon
and at night, and early Wed
nesday morning a hard rain
fell for nearly an hour.
These rains and favorable
seasons proved most beneficial
to late hill corn, late potatoes,
turnip patches and grasses of
all kinds. It is freely predic-
ted the present corn crop will
be far and away the largest
in the history of the county,
and there is considerable spec
ulation as to what the farmers
will do with all this corn.

was adjourned on Wednesday,
the docket having been clear
ed of all cases not continued
to the next term. The grand
jury adjourned on Tuesday
morning.
This has been the lightest
term of this court in the county
since its foundation, doubtless,
and the reason assigned for it
is the absence of the liquor
traffic. It has been suggested
that if the business of this court
continues to decrease in the
next two years as rapidly as in
the last two that the circuit
and chancery courts be COM
bined, which would result in a
considerable saving to the tax
payers.
