N,, re- tircd, who has been touring Alask 8 hing for his missing son, is re- turning to Seattle. His efforts were fruitle: He found a roadhouse in the upper Tanana valley where the young man passed last spring and took a raft. 1t is believed he was drowned. Others declare they saw the missing man in the Tanana valley late last season. Would Copyright Town’s Name. Wilkesbarre, Pa., Sept. 29.—Wilkes- barre will try to copyright its name so that it cannot be used by any other place in the United States. Whether this can be done is uncertain, but the city council at its last meeting adopt- ed a resolution providing that zpplica- tion for a copyright be made.

A piece of flannel dampen- ed with this liniment is superior to any plaster for lame back, pains in the side and chest, and much cheap- er. Sold at Barkers Drug Store. CADET BODY STANDS PAT West Point Adopts Uniform Policy of Testimony. West Point, Sept. 29.—For the fourth consecutive day since the en tire cadet corps of the United States military academy was put under ar- rest for giving the “silence” to Cap- tain Longan, instructor in tactics, that body continued to stand pat. The return of CGeneral Barry, who is in command of the academy, has failed to alleviate the practical in- subordination that now exists. He at once approved of the action of Com- mandant Sibley in placing the entire | student body under arrest and or- dered the court of inquiry to continue i its investigation. The court is now concentrating its efforts on getting the names of those who instigated the “silence” in order that a few of the cadets may be pun- ished without involving the entire corps. To meet this, it is declared, the ca- dets have adopted a uniform policy of testimony. They tell the court that when the “silence” was administered they merely saw several other cadets doing it and so joined in the treat- ! ment themselves. BLINDED BY PRACTICAL JOKE Youth Blows Red Pepper Into Young Woman’s Face. Newark, N. J. Sept. 29.—Miss Lucy Burton, a young society woman of Dover, will probably be blind for life as the result of the practical joke of a youth, the son of a neighbor. Miss Burton was ascending in an elevator at a local dry goods store last week when the practical joker blew a tube’ full of red pepper into her face. With a seream she sank to the floor of the elevator. She has been unable to see since the occurrence and oculists hold out little hope that sight can be restored.

E3 * an Economical Plan. 3 & < o3 L #* Utilizes Every Particle of Value I T in the Product. & The general scarcity of hay, and the high price of other feeds, combined with the fact that the backwardness of the corn crop indicates that much of it must in any event be cut at a stage somewhat short of full maturity, would seem to clothe the coming win- ter with conditions provocative of a general feeding of bundle corn in fat- tening beeves for the market. The practical experience of stockmen who have tried this method of feeding— notably that of Mr. W. F. Hubbard, of Warsaw, Minn,, related in the Minne- sota Farmers’ Institute Annual -for 1908, and quoted by Professor A. D. Wilson, in an address before the Min- nesota Conservation congress last March—would seem to point to bun- dle feeding as the plan best adapted to the utilization of every particle of value in the corn, as well as the plan most economical in the handling of the crop in feeding fattening cattle. It does away with all expenditure for labor in husking, and in stacking the cornstalks in field or barn. The corn is fed in bundles direct from shock to feed-rack, thus requiring only a sin- gle handling after it has been placed in the shock. Mr. Hubbard cuts his corn as soon as most of the ears are dented, and sets it up in tightly-com- pressed shocks, thirty to thirty-five bundles in each. It is declared that nowhere does corn keep so well as in such a shock. By Mr. Hubbard’s plan steers are bought, for fattening, a little more than a year before they are to go into the feed-lot. They are carried through the first winter by allowing them to clean up the stalks left by the feed- ing steers preceding them, with an additional ration of from three pints to three quarts of shelled corn per day, or its equivalent in bundle corn. FEED RACK ron CATTLE. A convenient feed rack used by Mr. Hubbard and by the Minnesota Ex- periment Station for feeding rough- age to stock in the yard. This little feed not only maintains their strength, but prepares the way for their ready acceptance of the kind of feed they will have when they go into the feed-lot the next winter. They are pastured through the sum- mer and fall, receiving, after the corn is cut, a light additional feed of fall- en ears, picked up and scattered from the wagon on the pasture. Pigs run with the cattle in the feed-yard, so there is no waste. When the fallen corn is gone, the steers are fed, on the pasture, bundle corn at the rate of one bundle per steer per day. About Dec. 1 they go into the feed- lot, which they never leave until they g0 to market. At first they are fed twice a day from the lightest bundles of corn. Not until the first of Feb- ruary are they placed upon full feed. It is the aim to keep on the sate side, and never over-feed. Concerning the value of bundle corn, Mr. Hubbard expresses himself as follows: “I consider it by far the best and cheapest feed known, possi- bly excepting ezsilage, with which I have had no experience. I know noth- ing about chemical analysis, but I do know that bundle corn seems to fur- nish a complete and perfect ration from start to finish. Steers never tire of it, nor seem to prefer a single bite of any other feed. With it, my cattle always put on a finish that lands them near the top of the market. Grain, cob, husk, fodder and all are eaten to- gether. The grain is all bolted and chewed over in the cud, which makes digestion so complete that there is no danger that a hog will get over-fat following a steer. I never had a case of scours, nor a steer seriously over- fed.” Thirty-eight acres of corn, ordinary in quantity and quality, in 1907, did this for Mr. Hubbard: It full-fed, un- til May 12, twenty-three steers, for the feed and labor expended on which he received $1,150. It full-fed for the same period, three cows, at a profit of $55, and their milk up to the day they were shipped. It furnished all the rough feed, except five loads of barley straw, for twenty-seven head of two-year-old steers. It furnished most of the feed for twenty-four good sized sows, which followed the steers and came out in the pink of condition. it fdrnished all the feed for 100 hens, which stole their living and kept as fat as cubs. The steers sold straight, in South St. Paul, within 10 cents per hundred weight of the top of the mar- ket for the seasom, having been fed nothing but bundle corn. From Oct. 1 1 to May 1 Mr. Hubbard did all his work alone, except hauling manure and straw, for which he paid $13.50. Best Substitute for Hay. Cornstalks are the best substitute for hay, and the Minnesota Experi- ment Station urges farmers to take extraordinary pains- to preserve their cornstalks, this fall, for winter rough- age. ; R s ————— ANALYSIS OF SOILS. Method of Making Selections for a Proper Test. The Minnesota Experiment Station will analyze soils for the farmers when it is selected as follows: If the soil to be analyzed is sod, remove a sod about a foot square, shake the dirt back into the hole, and take out all the surface soil to the depth of nine inches, but if the sur- face soil is not nine inches deep take it out to the bottom of the plow line, or to where such soil begins. Thor- oughly mix the soil, and put about two pounds in a tight bag. Label it “sur- face soil.” Then, after removing all the surface soil from the hole, take a sample of the subsoil to a depth of nine inches. If the surface soil is several feet deep, the subsoil may be taken at the depth of from nine to eighteen inches. Thor- oughly mix the subsoil, and place in a tight bag, labelled “‘subsoil.” Take three soils from three places at least one hundred feet apart. If the land is hilly and broken, select five places a similar distance from each other and place in bags as above directed. Take samples in the same manner from other parts of the field. Place all surface soil samples in one larger bag, labelled “surface soil,” and all subsoil bags in a larger bag, la- belled “subsoil.” The total weight of each bag should be about ten pounds. Put the two large bags in a box, or strong bag, and ship, freight prepaid, to Division of Soils, Experiment Sta: tion, Minnesota Transter, St. Anthony Park, Minnesota. Further directions, for record pur- poses, will be furnished free on appli- cation to the Division, and they should be in the hands of the farmer before he takes his samples from the ground. L R R R R Tile drainage, it has been con- clusively shown by engineers and by the experience of farm- ers, makes the wet soil several degrees warmer in spring. Such is the experience at the Min- nesota Experiment Station. R. M. Doive, of the North Dakota Experiment Station, says that it effectively lengthens the growing season and assures a crop of corn, and similar crops, in Northern latitudes. ofe deole oo ol ol b o ol B o e ool o ol e o ol ol e e o e ol ol o ol ole e el e ol ol ol e e ol o e e e e MORE BUSHELS; LESS ACRE- AGE. Better Tillage and Rotation of Crops Will Increase Yield. England’s average of over thirty- two bushels of wheat per acre, and Germany’s average of 21.1 bushels per acre, compared with America’s aver- age of fourteen bushels per acre, should suggest to Northwestern farm- ers something of the possible achieve- ments within their reach by, the use of better and carefully bred and se- lected seed, and by attention to proper cultivation, fertilization of the soil and rotation of crops. It is a “condition,” not a “theory,” that confronts farmers. More bushels from less acres than at present must be the aim, and the Min- nesota Agricultural Extension Division is endeavoring to awaken them to the importance of attempting to farm ne more land than they can handle well. The division believes that, with bet- ter tillage and a judicious rotation of crops, together with an equipment of live stock fo supply fertilizer, the out- put of Northwestern farmers can be in- creased, and the fertility of the soil restored to, and maintained at, its original strength. D R R * L R A SR R R R R ) Farmers intending to sow winter wheat should lose no time in plowing their land. They should then protect their soil from being robbed of its moisture by the winds, by im- mediately harrowing it. Don't plow more in one day than can be conveniently and thoroughly harrowed before night. Pul- verize the surface at once. It will be of service in establish- ing a good physical condition of the soil as well as in pre- serving the moisture which would otherwise be taken ouc by the wind. fo oo oo ofe ofs o of ofe ofe * ES <+ - e - - + EX < 'HOG CHOLERA VACCINE. Only One Successful’ Method of Pre- A venting Disease. Dr. Niles, of the United States Bu- reau of Animal Industry, says that a large number of nostrums have been advertised as ‘“sure cures” for hog cholera, but that not one. has stood the test. Some have occasionally been used with seemingly good results; but when tested farther they have failed. No ‘drug so far has been discovered which will cure or prevent hog chol- era, The only successful method of prevention is the use of hyper-ilmmune serum, through hypodermic injection. This was first used, the doctor says, at the Jowa Experiment Station, in an experimental way with such fayorable results as to warrant a continiuance of experimentation. = These expetiments have been continued with such sue- cess that the serum nas come to be regarded as almost a specific in the prevention of the disease. Also in many cases it works a cure when a mild form of the disease is present. But the doctor does not as a rule rec- ommend the use of hyperimmune serum when the hog'is sick: | GLENNON WILL NOT ATTEND Prelate Declines Invitation to Peoria Roosevelt Banquet. St. Louis, Sept. 29.—Archbishop John J. Glennon of St. Louis, who “found it impossible to attend” a ban- quet given by the Knights of Colum- bus, Peoria, Ill, at which Colonel Roosevelt will be the honored guest, was most diplomatic when inter- viewed on the situation. “Would the fact that Colonel Roose- velt is to be at the banquet influence your grace to decline?” was asked. “Now, really, I could not say any- thing about that,” smiled the arch- | bishop. Veafness Cannot be Cured by local abplications, as they cannot reach | the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by con- stitutional remadies. Deafness is caused by an infiamed concition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tabe. When this tube is in- flamed you have a rumbling sound or im- perfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normul condition, hearing will | be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Uatarrh, which is nothing but | an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces. | We will give One Hundred Dollars for any | case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure.
