LOOK HERE FOR IT

Many a Rensselaer Reader Will Be Interested. When people read about the cures made fey aI medicine endorsed from far away, is it surprising that they wonder if the statements are true? But when they read of cases right here at home, positive proof is within their reach, for dose investigation is an easy matter. Bead Rensselaer endorsement of Doan's Kidney Tills. E. M.

THE NEIGHBORHOOD CORNER

A DEPARTMENT OF FARM WELFARE CONDUCTED RY CO. AGENT LEANING. Look Out For Mites in Henhouse “Now is the time to look out for mites in the hen house and chicken coops,” says the members of the Jasper county poultry committee. “Many people do not notice (he mites and the chicks are badly aimoydd before they realize what is the matter. Spray the roosts with any good coaltar disinfectant. Iftrosene is a little too severe and may spoil any eggs for hatching. For head Hce use lard on the heads of the little chicks. Lice and mites keep the chickens from getting a proper start and render them more subject to diseases which follow.

The Farm Orchard. Within the next few weeks the opportunity to clean up, prune and give winter spray to the orchards will be gone.' It is not much more trouble to grow good fruit than poor and there is a great difference in value. The winter spray consists of part lime sulphur solition to 8 or 9 or water. This should be followed after the petals have fallen'by a spray of one gallon of lime sulphur solution and one pound' of arsenate of lead to 40 gallons of water. By repeating this spray about July 20th perfect fruit is almost assured. Five Acre Corn Club Popular. Several live young farmers of the county have joined the* state five acre corn growing, the object *to grow the greatest amount of corn on five acres of ground at the least work. This work has been carried on in other parts of the state for years, but as far as known this is the first time that men have entered from this county. % AU members who obtain 100 bushels or more per acre will be awarded medals. These fellows want to get more men in the same game. All who are interested would do well to send in their names before May Ist.

Farmers’ Clubs. The reguly meeting of the West Carpenter Farmers’ club will be held at the Welsh school house Friday evening, MaAh 19th. Among other numbers “The Farmers’ Garden,” will be discussed. Officers for the year will be elected. A good attendance is desired. On account of unfavorable weather last Saturday night the meeting of the North Union Farmers’ club will be held next Saturday evening, April 13th. An interesting evening is promised for all. A big rally will be held at the Kniman school house next Thursday evening, April 18th. Patriotic, agricultural and educational speakers have been secured who will talk upon the important problems ’of the day. A. P. Rice and Guy Dooley comprising the committee in charge state that they expect to make the evenings’ program a big event of the season. All are invited to attend. Don’t Forget The Cattle Feeders’ Meeting. Cattle feeders will miss a good trip if they are unable to make the drive to Lafayette April 13th, to attend the Indiana Cattle Feeders’ spring meeting. The party wiill leave Rensselaer at 7 o’clock in charge of Chas. Moody and return the same evening. The cattle feeding tests have developed some interesting facts this season and every feeder should arrange to attend. Alfalfa More Popular.

There has been more interest in alfalfa growing in the county this spring than in years. . This is doubtless due to a recognition of the value of the crop. Drainage, limestone, and acid phosphate wifi place most of our soils in a suitable condition to grow this ’ plant. Seeding in April with barley as a nurse crop seems to be the popular method. Why Not Swoet Clover? A little svfreet clover seed scattered on the wheat fields now and harrowed in Will give plenty of fall pasture and help keep up soil fertility. Sweet clover seed is- comparatively cheap this spring and is decidedly cheaper than fertilizers. Sweet clover, however, has a high lime requirement. Follow The Plow. With Tho Harrow. A very good, practice which is coming into general use is that of harrowing land the same day that it is plowed, making it easier to obtain a fine seed bed and preventing an undue evaporation of moisture. A good seed bed is essential in the production of a large yield of corn and it is not too early to plan for a “bumper.” •

Don't Forget The Individual Ear Test. The mere fact that a farmer has purchased a goodly supply of seed corn at a fancy price is .no proof that his seed problem is settled. No matter bow good the seed looks, it is absolutely necessary to give it the individual ear test this year as even the best looking corn has in some instances given disappointing results. In another month it will be too late to look after this matter. If there is a farmer in Jasper county who has not tested his seed corn, he can afford to give this his attention, whether he grew the corn himself, bought it from a neighbor or had it shipped in. It is a poor time to take chances, especially when the odds are so heavily against the untried seed. The best is not showing up any too good. Demonstration April 17. On April 17th at 2:00 p. m. a demonstration on quick and yeast war bread will be given at the residence of Frank Tillett, near Francesville. Everyone is invited.

Do your bit for Uncle Sam by saving wheat for the boys “over there.” This is your chance to do a bit of national service. Of course, we all honor the women who leave their homes to nurse and care for the wounded; but, no woman need think for a minute that because she can’t wear a nurse's uniform, she can’t be of patriotic service to her country. The woman in her home by observing these food conservation laws and training herself in household thrift can make of the kitchen apron a uniform of national'significance. Enlist as a kitchen soldier. Demonstration in Hanging Grove Township. Tuesday, April 16, a demonstration on the use of substitute flours will be given at the' home of Mrs. Robert McDonald, of near McCoysburg. Thursday, April 18, the same demonstration .will be given at the home of Mrs. S. B. Snedeker, of near McCoysburg. Everyone, welcome.

DAUGHTER MEETS GOOD SUCCESS SELLING BONDS

William B- Auston, of Chicago, was in Rensselaer Wednesday afternoon and while in the city he called at the office of the Republican. He reports that his daughter, Virginia, had sold on. last Saturday and Monday, $54,000 of Liberty Loan Bonds. Mr. Austin had been out of the city since that time, having gone to Indianapolis and from there to Lafayette, but he felt quite sure that she had continued' the campaign with equal success during his absence. He reports that he had met in Chicago the banker who has charge of the Third Libert/ Loan drive in the state of lowa. This gentleman is the president of the First National bank of Mason City, lowa. He told Mr. Austin that he had prepared a card index of the men of the state and had grouped them as follows, basing* his classification upon the returns from the two previous loan drives: All who had done their full duty had theft- names placed upon white card; those who- had .dona something, but not enough had their names placed upon red cards and those who had done nothing had their names placed upon yellow cards. This banker said he proposed that after the campaign was closed this time to have the names of the yellow published in the county seat papers of their respective counties. Mr. Austin expressed the opinion that the allies were taking pretty good care of themselves in France and he thinks that possibly they may be willing to still allow Germany to obtain more ground provided she may be made to pay for it at the rate of fifty Germans per acre. Mr. Austin continued to Chicago on the 6:50 p. m. train.

CATCHING SOME BOOTLEGGERS AT CAMP SHELBY

For several days soldiers in Camp i Shelby have been getting liquor in unusual quantities, and Major P. A. Davis, commanding the military police, was satisfied is was being brought by jitney driven. He detailed two Indianapolis men belonging to Company A, military police, Sergeant T. C. Downs and Private Charles White, who finally found a j jitney driver who gareed to get them all the booze they wanted. He drove them to the town of Picayune, about forty miles from Hattiesburg, where they bought twelve quarts and two pints of whisky and four bottles of beer. Just outside of Hattiesburg a part of the liquor was secreted at the roadside and left under the protection of White, while Downs drove in to town with a civilian who had helped them get the booze. The cilivian and the driver were fined SIOO and sentenced to thirty days in jail on a state charge. When they have served that sentence the federal agents will take them in on/ a charge of bootlegging.
