Cass County Farm f Bureau Notes Copy furnished from Mills County Style Shop Has Large Robbery Loss of $2,000 in Garments Stolen from Milady Style Shop at Malvern, Iowa For the second time in a two year period the Milady Style Shop at Mal vern, Iowa, was visited by robbers on Friday and as the result, the own er. Mrs. O. A. Strahan, is mourning the loss of $2,000 worth of silk and wash dresses that were taken. The number of garments that were stolen represents one hundred and fifty silk dresses and seventy-five wash dresses and the robbery w ras evidently very boldly carried out as the entrance to the building was gained by the forcing of the front door of the building, in an attempt to gain entrance in the rear having failed. The night watchman of the town. J. P. Frazier states thav he visited the store on his last round at 4 a. m. and that at that time there was ap parently no signs of the robbers in the vicinity of the store. Sheriff DeMoes of Mills county was called to the scene of the rob bery as soon as it was discovered, finding that the robbers in moving out the stock of dresses had dropped a number on the floor, indicating that the robbers had moved In haste in making their getaway. The drones were taken from th racks in the store as well as from the display windows of the store. So far there has been no trace found of the parties that may have arried out the robbery and as sev eral hours evidently elapsed from the robbery to the time that it was dis covered, the robbers had ample time to get into some larger city with their loot.

In making peach preserves use 5 pounds of peeled and quartered or slices of firm peaches (clingstone pre ferred and five peach kernels. For this amount, make a sirup of 7 cups of sugar and 6 cups of boiling wa ter. Add the peach kernels to the sirup, bring to the boiling point and boil until sugar is dissolved. Cool sirup. Add the peaches and cook until the fruit is clear and transpar ent when lifted from the sirup. Cool in sirup to plump the fruit, pack in to sterilized pint jars. If the sirup is not heavy enough cook until it is thick and pour boiling hot over the peaches. Remove air bubbles. Par tially seal the jars and process 30 minutes at simmering point (ISO de grees F. ) Seal. Spices -may be add ed during the cooking, if desired. Tie spices in bag to avoid discolor ing tlie product. Peach Marmalade: 1 gallon peach halves 1 small can grated pineapple 2 large thick-skinned oranges Sugar Peel and quarter peaches and or anges and add pineapple. Cut or ange peeling into thin slices, cover with water and boil 15 minutes. Pour off water, add peeling to the other fruits, and weigh. Allow 3-4 pound of sugar to each pound of fruit and cook until clear and a jelly test is made. Pack in sterilized pint jars and process 3d minutes at a simmer ing point. New Wheat Feeding Experiments Started. The new wheat feeding experi ments have been started at the Agri cultural College to determine further facts about the value of feeding the grain to cattle and sheep. The an imals use in the test will be on ex hibition at the annual Rooter's Day held at the college in October. Prof. R. R. Thalman of the anim al husbandry department ts conduct ing the test on cattle to determine the relative feeding value of corn and wheat when fed alone and in mixture. Other tests conducted at the college station, however, have showed that corn and wheat are practical ly equal in value as feed for bogs and cattle. Fifty head of Wyoming heifers are to be used in the cattle test. There are five lots. The first lot is to get shelled corn as a check. Cattle in the second lot are to receive two thirds shelled corn and one-third ground wheat, while those in the third lot are to be fed one-third shelled corn and two-thirds ground wheat. The fourth lot will be fed ground wheat alone and the fifth lot whole wheat. In the sheep feeding test which Prof. Martin A. Alexander is conduct ing three lots of blackfaced lambs are being fed. One lot receives ground shelled corn while another gets ground wheat. The third lot is receiving both the ground shelled corn and the ground wheat from self-feeders in a palatability test. All lots are also being fed chopped alfalfa hay. All lots are on sef feeders. D. D. Wainscott, Cass Co. Extension Agent. Jessie H. Baldwin. Ass't. Co. Extension Agent.
