THE NEIGHBORHOOD CORNER

A DEPARTMENT OF FARM WELFARE CONDUCTED BY CO. AGENT LEAMING. For the benefit of persons intending to purchase western lambs for ! feeding purposes, Dr. H. J. Kannal, assistant state veterinary, reports ’ that a temporary change in the livestock sanitary regulations have been made, whereby upon written permission from the state veterinary westi ern lambs may be brought into the state for feeding purposes without being dipped. As under unfavorable weather conditions, the loss from exposure following dipping often amounts to 15 or 20 per cent, the saving effected by the new regulation isapparent. . “We need a large number of sheep in the state at this time,” said Dr. i Kannal, “to clean up the fields and utilize the waste products of the | farms. A flock can be kept on many ! of our farms from i weather without any great expense, reutrning a nice profit. The new regulation went into effect on Sept. 28th and since that time 15,000 feeding lanjbs have been brought into the state. Most of these are bought through Chicago commission men, who can make arrangements tq see that proper permits are obtained.” —o — Hogging Off Corn. “I expect to hog off quite a lot of my corn this year,” said Robert Yeoman, of Newton township, the other day. “I have been following the Sractice for a long time and like it etter eacn year. ‘ My best results have been obtained by turning hogs of various ages into the same field, as I find there is less waste than when the hogs are of uniform size. The results have convinced me that the hogs will make better gains than if the same amount of corn had been husked and thrown over the fence to them. I usually sow rape in the corn thdt I expect to hog off.— The hogging off of the corn is general enough to require comment, but there are still farmers who use the old-fashioned, laborious method of husking corn for hogs in the fall. The majority of our progressive hog growers are installing self-feeders to supply all the tankage the hogs will use during the feeding period. Prof. R. C. Ashby states that he has never used tankage in any experimental work but that it has shown a profit. That it can be used to an advantage in hogging off corn cannot be disputed..— —o — Corn Varitey Teste. “What variety of corn is best adapted to Jasper county?” is a question often asked. Due to the fact that the county has at least three distinct corn areas, it is evident that no one variety can be generally recommended. Firman Thompson has been experimenting with many varieties on light sand for several years. This year, co-operating with the Jasper County Better Farming Association, he grew ten varieties in plots in the same field. They were planted about June Ist and growth was stopped by the frost of Sept. 9. Of the ten varieties planted, which included among others, Silver King, Murdick, Wimples Yellow Dent, Early Yellow Dent, Rustler White, White Cap Yellow Dent, Wolfe’s .Yellov/ Dent, Minnesota No. 13 alone completely matured. Not from this year’s experience alone, but as a result of the behavior of the Minnesota No. 13 for several years, Mr. Thompson is convinced that it is one of the best varieties for the type of soil found in his locality. An earlier, high yielding corn is badly needed on the lighter soils of the county and the Minnesota No. 13 seems to fill the need. For some of the heavier soils, Silver King is very promising and the Better Farming Association hopes to locate several experimental plots of this corn next season.

—o The Farmers’ Clubs. The Newton township fanners’ club will hold a “Better Livestock” meeting at the Blue Grass school next Tuesday evening, Oct. 16th. The program is as follows: “The Present Need of Better Livestock,” R. J. Yeoman* “The Work of the County Livestock Breeders’ Association,” P. H. Hauter and Chauncey Wood. “How to Start Into the Livestock Business,” Oscar Weiss. “Feeding of Farm Livestock,” King Chamberlain, of Newton county. “Lessons From the Livestock Show,” Stewart Learning. “Livestock and Crop Production,” John Rush. Everyone is invited. ———. —-oThe Kniman club will hold its regular meeting on the evening of Oct. 18th. The program expects to put on a snappy program and invites all to attend. The Wheatfield club will meet the evening of Oct. 19th at the Wheatfield school building. Try and be present. —o — The Apple Crop. “I lost quite a sum of money this year because I was ‘too busy’ to spray my orchard,” said a prominent young farmer* the other day. “I have a big orchard on my farm with plenty of fruit such as it is, but it is so imperfect ns to have~little-or no market value. Choice apples are selling in Indianapolis at from $4 to $5.50 per barrel and I could have made big money by caring for my trees. As it is I can notice a big difference in the quantity and quality of the fruit* on the pruned and sprayed trees in my orchard. Care pays in the orchard as well as on the other farm , —; crops.” Jasper county has plenty of fruit trees to supply its population with good fruit every day m the year, but we must either depend on shipped in Triiit or do without. Is it too early to resolve to prune and spray next year?

MACAW PRIZED FAMILY PET

Crippled Bird Highly Esteemed by its 1 Owners Despite Unconquerable Propensity for Mischief. An old reader sends the following to the editor of London Tit-Bits: “We possess a macaw which came to us eight years ago. About four years ago something came along and Injured one leg, which since then has been wholly paralyzed and to tucked up under his wing, no use at an to him. About three years ago our pet came in one night with ids eye protruding from Its socket. After > Uttle ardul attention the place healed, but he only possesses one eye and one leg, and is still going strong. “By the way. I have termed the macaw as he, on account of having christened him Robert; but, to our surprise, about six months ago *he’ laid four eggs, but has not laid any since. We do. not keep Robert in a cage, tolrty-elght Inches long from his bear to his tail-tip. Robert Is the only pet we possess, and Is mauled and played with like a kitten. In the daytime Robert flies away and comes home to roost in the evening. He has most lovely plumage of azure blue and golden yellow. “Robert is a great pet of everyone’s, except when he goes out on washing days and starts to take out the clothes pegs at one end of the line and finishes at the other. Then he gets some blessings, but takes It all as a joke, ancl perches In the nearest and safest place and laughs and talks while the angry women peg on the clothes again.”

WRONG IDEA ABOUT ECLIPSE

Many Had Peculiar Delusion That It Would Be Visible From Only One Certain Spot. —i —— The Manchester Guardian, In England, makes itself responsible for the following story: Not long ago, when, in the usual order of events, there was an eclipse of the moon —visible at Greenwich —a man whose work brought him daily into Manchester was seen going home about two hours earlier than usual. Upon being asked by one of his train companions to account for the sudden break in his routine, he replied that he had to be back in the city before nine o'clock, because he had read in his morning paper that the eclipse of the moon would be visible from Albert Square from about that time onward, and he was not going to miss the as it was a fine night. He lived In the country! The story recalls the famous Incident connected with Dean Swift, when his word was law in Dublin, some two hundred years ago. The dean had announced that there would be an eclipse of the sun on a certain day, at a certain time, visible from his house. Some time before the appointed hour, large crowds of people flocked from all parts of the city and congregated around the dean’s house, much to his annoyance. So much, indeed, did It trouble him, that he finally sent out word to the waiting multitude that the eclipse had been postponed, and would not take place for some time. The people at once returned to their homes, disappointed, but unquestioning.— Christian Science Monitor.

British King's Armory.

King George has many almost priceless treasures In his Buckingham palace, but none of them all can compare tn romantic Interest with the small armory of swords and daggers presented to his father by a hundred of the princes and nobles of India, as tokens of their devotion tobls throne, says London Tit-Bits, f T send my—most precious blade,” wrote the maharajah of Mysore, “as a tribute to the great lesson we have learned from English civilization — namely, that the pen is mightier than the swordand similar messages accompanied each gift, as evidence of the loyalty which the native princes of India have so magnificently demonstrated in the great war. Of all these weapons—swords and scimitars, tulwars and daggers, their hilts and scabbards ablaze with encrusted jewels—there is not one that has not a long and romantic history. Many of them have done deadly work in a hundred battles through many centuries; not a few were wielded by our own knights-in the crusades; all, had they tongues, could tell stories more strange and thrilling than almost any in fiction.

Such Is Fame.

I was talking of famous men’s doubles one day to a girl I had met at the seaside, and I asked her to gaze In my face and to say whom she thought I Resembled the most. Now, I fancy myself that I look more or less like a second Lord Kitchener; so I informed her that she’d probably guess if I made an attempt at assisting her. "First, his fame Is in everyone’s mouth,” I began; “there’s a handle attached to his name. He Is rarely upset, an all-round sort of man—row, perhaps, you know who I mean.” “Walt a bit,” she replied; “there’s a handle, you say,” and she gave her plump shoulders a shrug. “He’s In everyone's mouth. I’ve got it, hooray! Yes, of course, why, yen do look like a mug!”—London Tit-Bits.

Feminine Finance.

He—What! Another new drees? She—You needn’t be crocs. I bought tt with my own money. He—Where did you get it? She—l sold your *ur overcoat. Bm fmt Transcript.
