IOWA OPINION AND NOTES.

Restoration OF the circle is a Door
piece Of business conceived by selfish
and narrow minds and an act that
the intelligent people Of Iowa Will not
approve declares the Waterloo Times
Tribune. The cheap politician Will

tho yellow dog habit, will favor IL.
The ignorant person who fears to
scratch mis- ballot because he map
make mistake, will favor It. II is
for these people that the legislature OF
Iowa Is acting. The circle was a null
sance on the ballot and will be a null
sance again. But It is there once

CLOVER BLOAT MAY
USUALLY Be PREVENTED
Cattle Should Be Changed From Dry
to Green Feed Gradually.

A sudden change from dry feed to
a green, succulent feed of any kind is
likely to cause bloating in cattle.
This is especially likely to occur when
they Craze on white clover in the
spring when it is young and green, or
when it is in full bloom. 1t rapidly
ferments in the paunch, and the gas
there produced causes distelsion of
this large stomach on the left side of
the animal, with the characteristic ap-
pearance, and the general train Of
symptoms, familiar to most cattle
owners.
Preventive measures always give
the most satisfactory results in ward
ing off this condition. When first turn
ing cattle on clover, it should be done
gradually until the digestive organs
become accustomed to the change;
and the safest way is not to permit
/ Ghem to eat this succulent feed for
longer than twenty minutes to half
an hour the first day, and increase the
length of the period each day after.
wards until it seems to have lost its
bloating effect. 1t is safer, also, not
to turn the. cattle on this pasture
while the dew is on it.
Another preventive method is to
give the cattle some dry feed, such as
hay, before turning them on the clo-
yer. This, of course, lessons the
quantity of clover consumed and tends
to prevent fermentation Of the green
feed.
After a short while, when the stcm.
ach. has accommodated itself to the
change from the dry to the succulent
feed, the animals may consume large
quantities of the latter without appar.
ent inconvenience. w. H. Dalrymple

Offer Prizes TO Boys Corn
Clubs.


the clearing house of all fairs
and States is being realized
rapidly. At the initial event last
November, a beginning was
made, when the Corn Club Boys
of Louisiana and Mississippi
came into competition for the
first time in history. Both
States appreciated the benefit OF
comparison and the impetus to
to excel, and both already are
active in fostering broader and
more effective contest.
Commissioner Of Agriculture
Harry D. Wilson has taken the
practical lead by offering 500
for the best display of corn
grown by the boys clubs Of the
various Southern States suggest
ing that the money be divided
into three prizes OF $50, S3o and
SIS respectively. He has lett
the details to Prof. A. E. Kldder
of the Louisiana State UGIVersl-
tv. He also will aid in eniIsting
the interest of the agricultural
commissioners of other states
not only in corporation with the
fair in making the reward un-
usually attractive, but in order
to assure participations by as
large a number of States as pos
sible. Some of these commits
sioners have already taken up
the matter, and it is expected
that the victor here will be the
most successful boy corn grow
er in the entire South, with the
contest eventually extending over
the entire country.
Prof. G.. A. Cobb, of MISSISSIPPI
pi,who heads the Boys Club
work in that State is enthusiastic
over the subject and is aiding
the success of the National Farm
and Live Stock Show in that and
other important ways.
We people in Mississippi, "
he writes, have gotten it into our
heads that the National Farm
and Live Stock Show is going to
develop into a great agricultural
exposition of such compelling
interest that the whole South
will be interested. We believe
too. that bye and bye the coun
