ceived by the bureau Of markets, de-
partmcnt Of agriculture, show that
there was less wool used in February
than at any time since such statistics
have been compiled. The February
consumption amounted to 27,500,0O0
pounds in the grease, compared with
100000 pounds in February Of last
year. Strikes which shut down mills
and the inability Of small mills to Sc
cure wool because the wool sold by
the government at auction was sold
on a cash basis, furnished the reason
Cor the small February consumption.

1900 JOIN BUREAU.
Farm Membership Drive Great Sue
cess. Canoe Twp. Heads List.

AS has been the experiences of all
other counties, so also is true Of
Winneshiek county. The result of the
membership drive is overwhelming.
AT the close of the weeks drive, the
totals reported are about 1900 men,
bers and $500 to the federation
fund.
Canoe Twp. heads the list with
! III members. T. j. Crawford and H.
Il. Ramlo made the entire canvass
without any local assistance in
Canoe. Townships along the outside
border are following close with large
memberships.
We were unfortunate not to re-
yceive our full quota of men-one for
Y each township. Eighteen of the men
arrived, two were unable to be with
as. With the inclemency of the
weather early in the week and with
the shortage of men, we feel proud
! OF the success of the drive Ten or
twelve of the townships have been
completely canvassed, three of the
townships have only been dipped in
to and the rest have a corner yet to
clean up. This cleau-up work will
possibly be taken care of by mer
from the respective townships. So
many men who got into the drive
for day or two were sufficiently i'm
pressed with the significance of the
work to volunteer another day or two
in cleaning up the rest of their own
townships without additional help.
We expected to make a subscrip-
ton to the state fund of something
like 100000. With the amount of
cleanup work we still have to do, we
have every req on to believe that
4 Winneshiek coumJ will go over the
top in number of members and in
realization of our quota to the state
fund as well. Any one who has not
as yet been seen in regard to the
drive is urged to look into this work
and to submit your membership
either to your township director,
this office or to anyone who may
have the necessary blank for you.
This is the biggest thing which has
hit the county or any other county
to be- part of it is we'll worth your
while.
To others who are already in the
association, we invite your thorough
Cooperation and interest and thank
you for any assistance you may have
. given to the cause. This is your
Farm Bureau. 1t is organized for the
best interests of all.

Iowa Buys Most Lambs.

The shipment of feeder lambs to
this state from the Omaha market
were larger than the heavy shipments
OF the previous month.
Iowa purchased 294,921 lambs
while Nebraska purchased 2O2,019
from Omaha. Missouri was third and
Illinois fourth in the number shipped
in. Until recently large Colorado
breeders have failed to purchase any
lambs on the market, but they are
beginning to buy now. The bulk of
the purchases of these men were
made at $11 to $12 a hunderd, as
compared with STA to SIS, the price
paid the previous year.
This large supply of feeders, &C
cording to Tom C. Stone, sheep spe-
cialist of the extension department of
Iowa State College, makes 1t certain
that large supply will be going on
the market in December or possibly
January. Mr.. Stone is of the opinion
that the breeders should watch the
market carefully and try to get the
lambs in proper condition to satisfy
packers requirements.

HARD ROADS FOR ALLAMAKEE.
Majority of 257 i'm Favor of Them at
Election Last Week.

Allamakee county voters cast
majority Of votes for hard surfaced
roads at the election held last week
Tuesday, and the Waukon Standard
has the following to say about the
proposition.
The most momentous question
ever placed before the voters of Al
lamakee county went over in nice
shape in Tuesdays election when
good majority of the voters declared
themselves in favor of hard surfac-
Ing roads of Allamakee county.
Eight out of the eighteen town
ships recorded their vote in favor
of hard surfacing while ten declared
against it.
The bond issue met defeat by Z
small majority, and. this defeat was
recorded over petty matters that
arose proceeding the electioh, but
even the defeat of the bond issue
will mean little to the problem of
roads as at the present time there
are funds to the, amount of $172,-
600 available, and before this can he
expended another fund will be avail
able before any bonds would have
been issued, and it is not likely
that the county would have needed
any Of the bond funds for at least
two years, and the only thing ac-
complished by the defeat of the bond
issue was that it will force an extra
expense on the taxpayers of the
county for another election when the
time comes that bonds for road
building are needed.
Total-Paving, 1874 yes, 1474 no;
Bonds. 1853 yes, 1927 no.
Majority in favor of Paving-s57.
Majority against Bonds-174.

TIM seemed to have better "luck" with
y his feeders than his neighbors. Time
after time his cattle topped the market
at Chicago and South Omaha.
Finally, Charlie Bascom from down North

edited by It's SubSCrlberS-pract farmers

so useful-and down-to-the-Soil correct.
For instance, one article in it showed me

feeding and watering. That one article was
worth 10 years subscription price to me-
Taught me lot about feeding roughage

the cattle digestion AND make them get
more good out of their feed
Another time, another article gave me
helpful tips about how to grow the best
feeding crops-and how to feed them to best

FAIR AND~WARMER"
 AT THE ALCAZAR

All the thrills of cocktail right here in dry town. If you don't believe me- just see Fair and Warmer" playing xhis week at the Alcazar theatre The play was funny and filled with laughs. but the picture holds the drunken fever that passed out when Mir Prohibition was ushered in. If William Jennings Bryan saw that picture he would start another campaign. I came out with my head swimming, so realistic is the cocktail spirit depicted.
 alec Allison plays Blanny beautifully She thrills over her beautiful husband to perfection. And what it takes to make cocktail the girl is gifted with. Such lines as
 T don't want harum, I couldn't even remember their names:"
 I'm going to do something rash, I'm going to take a Turkish bath:"
 She was off to the Woolworth build ing. in little Green ,elevator"-fill the play with uproarous fun and keep the audience laughing every minute. The young wife james her adventurous hus- band, and the tame husband becomes a lion all in night, and the play ends with everybody happy, but watchful of the future.
