WARM BARN CAN
BE BUILT OF STRAY
BALES At SMALL COST

Animals well housed can be brought
thru the winter on one-thlrd less feed
than II they are simply allowed to
rough It." says one member OF the an
imal husbandry department at Iowa
State College. About one half or the
feed goes to maintain an animals body
heat, cold barn therefore means
more feed needed.
Even with corn at 81 bushel. those
farmers who have formerly fed their
stock in the open will find that they
can winter their stock just rs cheaply
as at former feed prices II they house
them In good. warm sheds.
And good shelter does not necessarily
mean expensive buildings. Excellent
results are reported from the use OF
temporary sheds made Of baled straw.
The walls are made by placing the
bales fatwlse one on top Of the other.
breaking the joints as in laying brick.
Windows and doors can be arranged
by leaving out a sufficient number OF
bales. Ordinary windows may be In
serted in the openings which are to be
used for that purpose. Poles covered
with straw, held in place by woven
wire, make a suitable roof. Lining the
shed with a fine meshed woven wire
will keep the animals from eating the
straw. Stakes should be driven in to
keep the lower bales In place. Such
shed Is not only cheap, but very warm
and comfortable. 1t can be used for
horses. cattle. sheep hogs or poultry.

"scoREcARD" CORN LOSES FAVOR
Successful Corn Growers Coming I,
Favor Longer cared Type.

That the typical "scorecard' type OF
corn with rather thick, deep kerneled
ears and deeply denied kernels Is los
ing favor with many successful corn
growers. is the observation of the
head of the Iowa Agricultural Expert
ment association in his travels over
the state.
These farmers are coming to favor
a type of corn whose ears have a lit
tie more length and less diameter and
a smoother dent and claim that such
type gives them the highest yield.
Whether this tendency to favor
the long cared type of corn will ulti-
mately change the standard of the
corn score card is yet to be seem" he
says, but certainly no preconceived
notions about show type should pre-
vent us from changing the score card
If it is found not to conform to the
point Of greatest practical value, which
is, the high yield Of sound. mature
corn. even tho this must be obtained
at the expense of show type or any
type"
Both investigators and practical
corn growers should keep this matter
constantly in mind until the truth is
found and, no doubt the score card
will then be changed If necessary.

COW TEST ASSOCIATION
MEANS MONEY TO
CREAMERY AND MIXER

Tha. a cooperative COW testing as
ISOLATION means not only more money
to the man who milks but incidentally
more money to the man who buys the
milk. Is the conclusion reached by
Henry Backhouse, secretary Of the
Manly Creamery at Manly. Iowa, who
has recently CLEANED some facts from
his creamery books that are interest
ing.
In 1914 the Progressive Cow Testing
Association was formed among the
farmers about Manly. At the end OF
this year, Backhouse, to satisfy his cur
iosity as to the value Of the test assoc
citation, from the standpoint of in
creased milk production, looked in his
books to compare the 1914 fat receipts
with those Of the year 1913. when
no test association existed. He chose
four farmers who not only had the
same number of cows but the same
cows which they had had in 1913 be-
fore the association was formed.
Here ls what he found,

NEW CORN HAS BOOSTER.
J. TiIford Brown Thinks "lowa 10"
Best Variety in Field.

J. Tiford Brown, farmer of Stock
port, Iowa. believes that there is just
one variety of corn in this wide. wide
world that is best suited to southern
Iowa conditions and that is iowa 10"
Il comparatively new variety origin
ated at Ames. Small quantities OF this
corn We're sent to Mr. Brown and a
few other members of the Iowa k.X-
pertinent association Two years ago for
a cooperative test. Judging from the
prizes he won with his corn this year.
j. Tilfords enthusiasm is justified.
Push Iowa TO-" he writes to Ames
AT our local corn show this corn won
first, second and sweepstakes on bush
ell: first and third on ten ear and in
fact every prize in it's class except
second on ten ear. 1t also won first
and second on single ear. I exhibited
ten ears for the judge to use in lectur

marked that they were worth $50 Of
any mans money but he doubted if
they could be bought for that. Later

Schultz Indictments Dismissed.

MonteZuma, Jan. o.-County Attor-
ney Lyman dismissed the three indict-
ments against John ShultZ. charged
with incest. 1t will be remembered
Shultz was tried once. convicted and
sentenced to the penitentiary for
period of Twenty-Five years. An APP
peal to the supreme court was taken
and the case reversed on an error, re-
manded for a new trial. The second
trial resulted in acquittal Of defend
ant. Mr. Lyman said the state tried
the strongest case first and while the
testimony in each one would not be
exactly the same. he felt that dismissal
of the remaining indictments was adj
visable since conviction on the first
one could not be obtained.

eligible to win trophies. Twenty five
classes in corn. small grain and grass
seeds are listed.
. Educational Phase of Show.
Directors will this year lay special
emphasis Gil tie eaucat!ona! phase Of
the show. Variety names will be placed
on each sample submitted: judges
will criticize all samples so that every
exhibitor may know the faults of his
corn; during the show special lectures
and discussions on live topics along
soil and crop lines will be given.
A special feature of the show will
be the opportunity for all farmers to
bring samples of their soils and have
the tests free from acidity. Twenty

There are vast numbers of men and

People who feel good one day and
badly the next. but who simply can not
get feeling right are urged to obtain a
quarter pound of limestone phosphate
at the drug store. This will cost very
little but is sufficient to make anyone a
real crank on the subject of internal
sanitation.
Just as soap and hot water act on
the skin, cleansing. sweetening and

hot water act on the stomach. liver, kid

portant to battle on the inside than on
the outside, because the skin pores do
not absorb impurities into the blood,
lie the bowel pores do.
