An Old Farm Paper.

LGC W. IIdl uillSCI, VI NAdA iO'lG
township, is the owner Of several
volumes of The Genesse Farmer, a
farm paper published i'll 1S4o-41-42 at
Rochester, New York. The papers,
which are very interesting, are well
printed in clear, readable type and
are remarkably we'll preserved. They
were given to Mr.. Hardinger by his
aunt, Jane McElroy, who received
them from Mr.. Hardinger's great
grandfather, Thos. H. McElroy, an
early day resident of New York.
Considerable space is devoted to
labor saving machinery" Many Of
their implements would bring smile
to the up-to-date Bates county farm
er. A corn planter, which required
the services of both a man and boy
as we'll as horse, and by which
eight acres could be planted per day
was one of the implements just in
vented. The first three hing machines
were being used. They were small
affairs, the power being furnished by
four horses and were capable, ac-
cording to the writer in the Genesse
Farmer, of threshng and cleaning IS
bushels OF wheat per hour.
There was an illustration of a new
wheat sowing machine by which as
much as IS acres per day might be
sown. The farmers OF that day were
evidently dandies as the driver OF the
machine is shown to be wearing tall
hat, coat with some sort of high
rolled collar and over that big cape
or shawl.
A gentleman had just returned
from London and wrote the Farmer
a letter telling OF some OF the sights
OF that metropolis. One Of the
things which impressed him most
was a Steam Chicken Mandatory,
which seems to have been much like
the present day incubator, except that
it was heated by steam instead of an
oil lamp, but it must be remembered
that that was before the day of John
d. The machine was called an Es-
calebion, which the writer says is
Greek word meaning to bring to life.
Farmers societies were being formed
and there were many letters about
sugar beets and silk worm culture,
Ruta Bagas and turnips seemed to
be the staple stock and hog food.
In case child has the scarlet fever
it was strongly recommended that It
be bathed every five minutes in ly@.
Ii that did not reduce the lever in a
few hours doctor should be sum-
moned.
Ii the cattle had the Hollow Horn
one of the treatments recommended
was to split its tail.
Even in that early day the farm
ers of New York were alive TO the
advantages OF fine cattle. There IS
in one of the columns an account OF
sale of Improved Durham Short
Horns where several of the COWS
brought more than $1,000 and one
sold for $I,7so, and that was tre-
mendous lot of money in those days.
Prices for farm products in June,
1870:

DISTRICT MILLS GET
EQUIPMENT ORDERS

Car equipment awards for the
past week involves moro than 5000
cars, principally on western roads.
AS usual the General American
Tank Car Corp. figured as the main
recipient in the bulk OF these or
ders. The largest one booked by
them during the week was for 500
composite gondolas and 200 steel
flats for the Chicago and North
western Railway Co. Another or
der for 100 automobile cars for the
Western Pacific Railroad Co. brings
the total of cars placed with this
concern for the current week 10
approximately 1900.
The cars bought during the week
represent an additional steel tom
mage of about 10000 tons, p-actic-
ally all OF which will be furnished
by mills in this district.
Buying of standard steel rails
has been completed and little activ-
ity in these departments is expert
enced for several months. although
il is believed many of the western
roads will need tonnage later for

for mills furnishing material is
forecasted.

TRAFFIC QUIZ
Valparaiso School, Since
Student Killing, to be
Investigated

INDIANAPOLIS. Oct. IA. - Every
effort to effect a Hobart booze-run-
ing investigation and a cleanup
among booze-runners and law vio-
lators in Valparaiso and to obtain
cooperation of the local authorities
in law enforcement among the stu
dents of Valparaiso university will
be made. Bert c. Morgan. federal
prohibition director for Indiana, de-
clared yesterday after hearing the
story of Mrs. Katherine Williams.
widow of Zack Williams Williams.
federal vocational student at Val
paraiso university. was shot and
killed Sunday by Valparaiso po-
liceman after he had fred a shot
gun at the policeman.
Mr.. Morgan declared the account
of Mrs. Williams regarding lax law
enforcement by Valparaiso authori-
ties bore out other reports received
at his office. He said the federal
authorities had not been able to OBJ
tain effective cooperation from the
local authorities.
Mr.. Morgan said he had previous
ly arranged for one of his deputies
to enter Valparaiso university as 4
student some time ago in order to
obtain evidence of liquor law vio-
lations. The reports received indi-
Gated that much OF the liquor
brought TO Valparaiso university
came from Hobart. Ind. across the
county line in Lake county, he said.
Booze parties among the students
of the university have been going
on and an effort will be made to
stamp out sources of obtaining the
liquor for such affairs said Mr..
Morgan.
Mr. Morgan declared that he had
been unable TO obtain effective CO.
operation with John s. Bastholo-
NEW, prosecuting attorney Of Porter
county. in the prosecution of liquor
violators.
Mrs. Williams told the prohibition
director she had lived for two years
at Valparaiso and had found there
great laxity in law enforcement.
She declared that if greater atten-
tion was not paid TO enforcing the
law in the vicinity OF the college it
would bring trouble to many other
wives and mothers.
Mrs. Williams promised TO bring
to Mr.. Morgan additional evidence
to help him bring law violators to
justice. She said her husband and
other students at the university had
been able to obtain liquor from the
surrounding towns without diff
