Special to Times Republican.
Des Moines, Jan. 16.-The state dairy
and food department today issued a
statement against several forms of but
ter mergers being offered for sale,
claiming that they will not do what the
statesmen claim they will do.
Commissioner Barney declares that
these mergers will not make two
pounds Of butter out of one as is claim
cd in some of the advertising literature.
Concerning the mergers Commissioner
Barney said:
What these butter mergers really do
is to- make an emulsion Of the con-
sistency of a heavy whipped cream,
which Of course, results in making the
butter 90 farther for the reason that
less is used. The same result can be
accomplished by spreading the butter
thinnerswith knife instead of buying
a merger costing from $3.50 to s2.7S."
The department is picking up sam
pies of cottonseed meal and Analysing
them to discover if they contain the
amount OF food st,lffs as required by
law. sample just analysed sold to
a man at Downing. Iowa, was found to
be short Of foodstuffs to the value OF
s25750. Many cottonseed meal manu-
fas.ers are also disresarding the re-
uuirements as to putting tags on their
sacks and also TO stating the net
weights on the sacks.
A year ago the department made
campaign against cottonseed meal
manufacturers not living up to state
and federal requirements and many
manufacturers were compelled to pay
rebates to their customers. A similar
drive Is again being started.

FOR SHORTER HAULS.
Government Plans Slaughter Of Live
Stock at Nearest Packing Point.

Special to Times Republican.
Des Moines, Jan. 16.-That the gov
eminent will discourage long hauls of
coal and hogs especially. as we'll as
possibly all live stock which might be
slaughtered nearer home than has
heretofore been the case. is the state
ment Of railroad officials here who
have retu~nI from conferences. held in
Chicago.
A conference of federal fuel admin
istrators for he middle western states
is to be held 1T Jefferson City, Mo-.
Friday to work out plans for coal dis
tribution. This has in mind the util-'
ization Of coal IN the neghborhood in
which it is mined rather than shipping
locally mined coal to some distant
point and bringing in coal from long
ways off. .-.'
If similar plan is worked out with
regard to live stock it will mean
great boost for the small packing plants
Of Iowa whose principal struggle here
tofore has been to get the hogs and
live stock sufficient to meet the field
open to them in the way Of market
ing. The railroads have encouraged in,
every way possible long hauls OF live
stock. This is said to have been one
of the principal factors in building up
such huge packing centers. 1t has long
been recognized that Iowa has been a
big loser thru shipping its hogs and
cattle out Of the state to be slaughtered
and then shipping the dressed meat
back into the state to be consumed by
the Iowa public.
TIa lit Ill o. L.
have gained success largely thru the
manufacture Of a superior product, for
which they have built up special mar
kets or markets which demanded their
products because Of their superiority in
quality. II the Iowa live stock in any
considerable quantities were marketed
in Iowa it. would greatly increase the
business of the Iowa packing plants.

special to Times RepuDNCan.
Ida Grove, Jan. ,16.-John Siple
caught one Of the largest prairie VOL
yes in trap on his farm, northeast OF
this city, Monday, that has ever been
killed in the county. The wolf, after
he had been killed, measured exactly
sixty four inches from the tip OF his
tail to the point of his nose, and his
pelt was one of the finest ever taken
from an animal Of that kind. Mr..
Siple has shot and trapped over fifty
wolves during the past five years, but
this was the best fur hide that he has
taken from a wolf. That the animal
was we'll along in years was evident
from the fact that his teeth and fangs
were worn down to the gums, and his
every appearance was that he was the
king of his pack for in several places
the marks of teeth and claws could %
seen on the hide under the thick fur
The wolf was caught by hind and
front foot in a large, steel trap baited
with horse flesh, and when discovered
by Mr.. Siple he showed fight.
