RAPE FOR PASTURE

Rape is one of the best all-around
livestock forages adapted to Iowa
soils and climate. 1t is palatable to
swine, sheep, calves, cattle and
horses; however, its greatest field
of usefulness is for swine and sheep.
Rape ranks along with alfalfa
and red clover as a forage for swine
and furnishes quicker pasture than
either of these legumes. Rape yields
heavily of digestible protein and
runs relatively high in mineral mat
ter, especially in calcium and phos-
phorus, all of which are needed to
balance corn, the principal Corn
Belt concentrate.
Rape is easily seeded and furnish
es quick pasture. 1t may be sowed
at different times, thus a good
green pasture is always in readiness
for the months of July and August,
when the blue grass is dry and hard
{ or when the second growth of clo-
yer fails to come. One acre will
furnish pasture for 20 to 80 spring
Ipigs.
Experiments by the animal hus-
bandry section of the Iowa expert
ment station have shown that it is
best to feed a very liberal ration of
grain to young pigs on rape, which
is true for all forages. Weanling
pigs taken from so to 225 pounds
on rape pasture with corn, meat
meal tankage and salt i in separate
feeders, made this gain in 122 days.
A group similarly fed, with the ex-
ception Of alfalfa in place of rape,
took l2l days to make the same
weight.
The group on rape took nine
pounds less Of the high-priced meat
meal tankage a hundred pounds Of
gain than those on alfalfa pasture.

elites and other advertising matter
He has on his counter, under
glass, what is supposed to be a
German cootie. 1t, however, is moth
ing more nor less than the Pussy
willow blossom fixed up with legs
and tail so that it really has the ap-
pearance of one of those pestiferous
insects. The remarks made by pas
sersby are sometimes quite amusing,
they run bike this:
Why l didn't know they were so

Gee, no wonder they bite"
Where do you get them"

"Tree Butchers" Are
Hacking Trees to Pieces
in Many Parts Of City

Numerous complaints are being
made of the work of tree butch
ers" in the Allison Hill district of
the city.
The spring season has brought
out a number of "trimmers' who
know no more about pruning than
they do of deep sea navigation.
Tree limbs four to six inches in
diameter have been sawed off and
mere stumps have been left of some
of the most graceful trees in the
eastern section of the city.
Park Commissioner e. u. Gross,
who has authority in the matter,
has done absolutely nothing either
to promote proper care of the trees
of the city or to prevent them from
being hacked to pieces. Council
will be asked shortly to take some
steps in the matter.

The miners while here last month
urged seventy per cent compensation
against fifty per cent of the weekly
wage as the present rate. Capitol
gossip is that the new bill will be
either sixty or siXty-fivc. Compen-
sation, however. is not to exceed s13
a week, an advance of SO. 1t is un-
derstood that conferences have been
had with labor leaders and that while
some want to put in their own bill
others are disposed to accept what
Chairman Harry A. Mackey has
drawn up for the consideration of the
Governor.
one of the changes under discus
sion is the schedule of payments for
multttation and disfiEurements, for
which the miners have strongly con-
tended. BILL. already in provides
for medical attention for thirty DAYS
instead of fifteen and this is also
said to be favored by compensation
officials. Wider powers for the State
Board to fix rates are understood
to be included. although there is a
difference of opinion on this point.
