Lutheran Church Notes
DAKOTA CITY-SALEM
Rev. C. R. Lowe.
This is a strenuous time, we have
nevur seen any thing like it, neither
did our fathers. It is a call here
and a call yonder, our mail contains
appeals every little while. Men give
to the Red Cross, the Y. M. C. A.,
the K. C, Belgians, Armenians, and
what not. The women are busy
with Red Cross work. This is as it
should be. We have to do it for it
is to be done, and our government
calls us to it. It is our bit in set
tling this world's fuss in our own ad
vantage. And it will not be settled
right till it is settled so.
. but we should not forget that
God reigns. All our labor will not
win this war if God is against it.
He has and still can make the na
tions believe a lie. When Napoleon
was overrunning Europe and seem
ed to have the advantage over the
English and Germans then allied
against France, and when his confi
dence was in his superior munitions,
and when he said "God is on the side
of the heaviest artilery," God used
but a cloud, unseasonable for the
general to overthrow his ambitions
iust coming into fruitage and cast
him shortly on St. Helena. God is
on the side of the righteous, and the
nation that exalts him he will exalt.
This is his word and promise.
How many a time he punished Israel
because they trusted in hordes and
chariots rather than call upon him.
We cannot forget God and still be
righteous. " The thing to do is to re
member that God reigns and we are
to be submissive to him, that we are
to berve him first of all. His service
does not detract from the service of
the country. His service is that we
love him and demonstrate it in our
contact with our fellows.
It is a saying frequently heard in
our midst that "I am so busy with
the Red Cross work that 1 don't
have time for much church work."
And the church work suffers there
by. We cantfot let the church work
suh"er. The Red Cross work is an
additional labor we are wanting to
do. The church is the saving insti
tution of tne world,. It was God's
eternal purpose to reveal this saving
to the people, through the church.
If this war is in any manner a means
of bringing the people to the knowl
edge of God, and if humility before
God is an attitude before which he
can remove the scourge of war fiom
a people. The neglect of the church,
its labor, and its worship is the last
thing to doN. Remember the work
of the church.
The Salem Ladies' Aid meet this
week Thuisday with Mrs. Chas.
Sierk. You are invited.
We had a fine time out to the prac
tice last Friday night, and the young
folks declare the music is good and
that they like it.
M. E. Church Notes.
F. J. Aucock, Pastor.
It was a great pleasure to many
of our members to see Rev. D. M.
McGregor here again last Sunday.
On turning up the records we find
that itu's twenty-eight years since he
first came heie, and twenty-five
since he left. Yet judging by the
way he was shaking hands there are
still many who remember him as
their pastor. The cause he came to
represent was the care of the old re
tii ed preacher. I think we all agreed
that he presented it very ably. As
sociated with him was the Hon. H.
J Shumway, of Wakefield, who also
spoke upon the same subject. The
canvas for the cause was undertaken
Tuesday and to date wo can report
that Dakota City has raised $G 15.00.
Next week we will have an envelope
collection for the sake of those who
can only give small gifts but who
wish to take their share of the re
sponsibility. Next Sunday the services will be
held at the usual hours, when the
pastor will preach.
The Ladies' Aid will meet Friday
afternoon of this week with Mrs. C.
N. Derry. It is hoped that all mem
bers will make an effort to attend as
there is much work to do.

County Agent's Field Notes
BY C. H. YOUNG.
Four Home Economic demonstra
tions were held last week at Da
kota City, Hubbard, Jackson and Ho
mer with a total of 223 in attendance.
Miss Anna Steckelberg, from the
state department conducted the
work. The demonstrations were
held in the interest of the woman
county demonstrator movement
which is meeting with enthusiasm
over the greater part of the' county.
Twenty-one women are now solicit
ing on the membership campaign.
We only need 300 signers at $2.00
each to secure a woman for the
county surely it will be worth that
much to any woman. By a special
request a demonstration will be held
in Goodwin, 'Friday, November 23,
at 2:00 p. ra. It is hoped that as
many as can will attend this meet
ing. The county agent while in quest
for old corn suitable for seed, found
about 800 bushels being held for
that purpose by Albert Roost and
250 bushels by Fred Wagner. Both
of these men have good corn. Be
sides repeated calls within the coun
ty for seed corn, some from central
Iowa are already coming to our
desk.
Just now many -are concerned on
the relative values of old, well ma
tured and new soft corn both with a
view to feeding and buying and sel
ling. Because of the fact that soft
corn years are periodical, but little
experimental data is available.
Work with hogs at the Iowa Experi
ment Station with new corn contain
ing 25"o moisture shows that there
were required 495 pounds of new
corn and 4G pounds of tankage to
produce 100 pounds of pork, while
with the old corn corn containing
14" moisture, 432 pounds of com
and 34 pounds of tankage were re
quired. Hence it required 14. G per
cent more corn and 31 pounds tank
age were required. Hence it re
quired 14. G per cent more corn and
35 per cent more tankage per 100
pounds gain. With a higher water
contest the diirerence will of course
be greater.
Cattle feeding at the Iowa Station
in 1902 in whice new corn containing
35 moisture was compared with
old corn on two-year-old steers.
Tho data obtained would indicate
that the soft corn containing 35 "
moisture at the beginning of tho test,
pound for pound on tho dry basis.
was fully equal to tho feeding value to
matured corn. The cattle fed on soft
corn made nearly as heavy gains and
finished equally as well as cattle fed
on old corn. For cattle feeding the
amount of moisture present was the
main difference so far as composi
tion was concerned. When fed to
cattle it was found that hogs follow
ing made smaller gains after the soft
corn because ot the steers being
able to make better use of their
grain.
Whether fed to cattle, hogs, or
sheep, unless fed in self-feeders, it
will bo found that larger gains can
be made if tho feeding is done at
least three or four times daily.
