Breeders from eighteen states will
be represented in the cattle and horse
barns, w hile sheep and hogs w ill come
from eight states. The cattle show
will draw in only the classiest of the
show animals shown at the four state
fairs in the Sioux City territory, and
the battle for prize awards will be of
utmost interest to farmers and breed
ers throughout the middle west. The
winners in these contests are to form
in parade for Friday of fair week,
when Iowa and Sioux City day will be
the subject of celebration.
To give the Sioux City fair a more
extensive hold on the territory and to
make possible the extension of fair
benefits in an educational and enter
tainment way the railroads are coop
erating with thp association and spe
cial trains will he scheduled for the
week. These trains will be supple
mented with extra car service on all
the regular trains.
The Sioux City fair this year will
present a $9,000 racing program, which
has brought to the entry lists some ot
the speediest pacers and trotters seen
on western tracks. The speed pro
gram will feature running events each
day of the week, and the total purse
list for the runners was made high
enough to draw in the big strings that
ordinarily pass up the western fair cir
cuit.
The grandstand guests are to be en
tertained with a vaudeville program of
ten numbers. This program will be
the means of assembling at Sioux City
headline acts from the eastern vaude
ville stages and from the big circusses.
The program will have its savor of
comedy and its share of thrills and will
reach its climax in the flights of Miss
Ruth Law, aviatrix. rated as the fe
male Art Smith of the flying game
Miss Law is to make two flights each
afternoon throughout the week, and
will offer among other features the
loop the loop, the aerial cart wheel,
the vertical dive of 500 feet, and will
close her program by flying upside
down.
Organized a-s an educational institu
tion as well as one for entertainment,
the fair will present short course work
in farming, cattle growing, domestic
science, care of machinery, care of
the motor car, development of farm
homes and soil testing. Staffs of gov
ernment experts will be in charge
these various features. The cattle
pavilion, the administration buildings
and motor row will be the scenes of
their endeavor.
The fair this year will be opened by
W. G. McAdoo, secretary of the treas
ury department and son-in-law of Pres
ident Wilson, who will give an address
before the grandstand on Monday aft
ernoon. Secretary McAdoo will be ac
companied to the fair by Asrtstant Sec
retary of Agriculture Vroman, who
also is slated for a brief address.
During the week the association will
entertain a number of notables from
the interstate territory. On the occa
sion of the meeting at the fair grounds
of some 2.000 boy members of the corn
clubs of the territory, high officials of
the department of agriculture, with
E. T. Meredith and W. L. Harding will,
make addresses.
In addition to the fair program busi
ness men have arranged down town at
tractions for the guests. These pro
grams will take the form of special
theatrical programs, whil» business
houses will keep open house through
out the week. Information bureaus
are being organized to handle the
crowds, and $10,000 is to be spent in
special decorations emblematic of ter
ritorial wealth.
The association is arranging space
on the grounds for the parking of mo
tor cars. Room has been provided
to care for 3,000 cars. The parking
space will be extended free, as this
has been found a convenience to out
of town visitors. The growing use of
the motor car has served tc force aD
extension of the space devoted to the
parking of cars.

PROFITABLE METHOD POR HARVESTING CORN.
(By C. W. HICKMAN. Animal Husban
dry Department, Idaho Experiment
Station.)
The' management of the brood sow
after weaning her litter is a matter
of considerable importance. There i
are a number of factors that will cause .
the summer management to vary.!
Among the more important factors;
are: the age and condition of the sow \
and the, number of litters—one or two i
raised per year.
If it is a mature sow and you i*lan !
to raise a fall litter, you probably |
have fed her well, and if so the sow j
should begin to gain in flesh wiien the j
litter is from eight to ten weeks old i
and in most cases the sow will come!
in heal then so you can breed her for
early fall pig-;. We find at the ex- |
I
amount to food, that will vary with
tho individual sow, but one should try
to feed enough to get her up in good
thrifty condition for farrowing. The
barley and wheat could well be left
out of the ration after the sows get
up in flesh since they are mainly fat
formers.
On the other hand, if your mature
sow is not to raise a fall litter and
you intend to breed for spring pigs,
turn her out on good pasture anil see
that she lias plenty of fresh water
and shade with a small allowance of
barley or oats. Such treatment will
build up iter constitution general
condition as nothing else will. Con
tinue this method of handling until
time to bring her up in condition for
another season’s breeding. It is true
that some breeders carry mature sows i
through tlie summer on pasture alone |
(with water and shad;/ in very good
condition, hut most breeders prefer to
use a small amount of grain in addi
tion to the pasture.
Feed Yeung Sows.
Young sows will need better feed, j
Never turn a gilt out with a lot of ;
old sows after raising her first litter.
Sue will fare badly when she should
have the best of feed and care to
grow her out as she should he. If
you allow this gilt to run along thin
she will always be undersized and
common. Young sows should be lib
erally fed in addition to good pasture.
Cse such a grain mixture as was sug
gested for the mature sow that raises
two litters per year and use plenty
<>f it, and remember that you are after
bone and muscle, not fat.
The essential thing in the minds of
most breeders Is that brood sows after
weaning have exercise, plenty of pas
ture, shade, fresh water, and enougli
concentrated feed, properly balanced.
This should mean a strong, healthy,
vigorous sow in good breeding con
dition and insures u healthy, vigorous
litter. Brood sows thus handled are
more likely to produce large litters of
strong, healthy pigs nnd are certainly
more likely to raise a good-sized litter.
After all the profitable sow is the one.
that raises seven to ten good strong
pigs rather than the one that farrows
12 to 18 and only raises three to five
fair pigs.
Purebred Sow and Litter.
periment station that if we don't pot
sows to farrow tile last of Aupust or
the first of September, we cannot pet
in early litter the following spring,
*nd the pigs do not get a good start
for winter, especially in the higher,
wet sections of the state.
Pasture for Sows.
Brood sows should have a large
■ooiny pasture which will afford plenty
if exercise and succulent feed, both
if which are indispensable for strong,
.hrlfty litters. In addition to their
pasture, their feed should consist of
jats, shorts, and barley or wheat and
asually some tankage. As to the1

DISTURBING FACTOR
—
Infectious Garget Is Usually Not
Easily Cured—Disease
Spread by Milkers.
By F. B. HADLEY, Wisconsin Agricul
tural College.)
Garget makes an appearance every i
Mce in a while in cows which appar- j
ently are In perfect health. The milk j
n severe cases is either stringy or otli- .
rrwise altered in character when j
irawu and collects a yellowish col
ored sediment on standing. In Jess
pronounced coses there may be little ,
visible change in the milk, but an ex
amination would reveal a large nu.u- ■
Per of germs.
Noninfectious garget is caused by
oruises or other injuries, or by a sud
den congestion of blood in the udder
is frequently occurs in heavy milkers ;
ind in heifers at first calving. Affect
ed animals usually make a complete
recovery if given IV2 pounds of epsom
salts and their feed ^s restricted to •
(hat of a succulent nature.
BLACKBERRY CANES
NEED SOME PRUNING
if Pinching-Out System Is Not
Followed, Cut Back One
Fourth or One-Half. #
The canes of blackberries are bien
nials—that Is, they live but two years.
On this account it is necessary to cut
out the old canes as soon ns their
function has been completed, leaving
room for the young canes. The first
year after planting, two or .three canes
will appear, wjdch should have the
growing tip pinched out when about
18 inches or 2 feet high. This will
cause the canes to send out several
lateral branches and make stocky
plants, thereby increasing the fruii
producing area of each plant. If the
pincliing-out system^ is not followed,
cut back one-fourth or one-half of the
cane in late winter, depending on the
vigor of the plant, and at this time re
move old canes.
EVERY POULTRYMAN
MUST FIGHT MITES
When Allowed to Multiply They
Spread to All Parts of House
Use Whitewash.
(■By M. E. DICKSON, Nebraska College
of Agriculture.)
Every poultry keeper must fight
mites. They are carried by sparrows
and in various other ways.
Mites are first noticed in early sum
mer hiding under and about the
perches. When allowed to multiply
they spread to all parts of the house.
They may kill little chicks and ef
fectively reduce egg production.
Be on your guard, and when you
first notice the mites clean the house
thoroughly and spray the nests, drop
ping boards, walls and perches with
kerosene. As a precaution white
wash the entire house.
The cause of infectious garget is a
germ or germs. When many of them 1
are present in the udder not only is ;
the milk changed, as mentioned above,
but the udder itself becomes hot and
sensitive to the touch.
The importance of the infectious
form of garget rests in the fact that it '
is usually not easily cured and has a
tendency to recur. Furthermore, the
iisease is easily conveyed to healthy
rows through the medium of the milk
er’s hand or contaminated material of
any kind, unless precautions are taken
to avoid the transfer of the germs.
Temporary relief may be given by
WitlSng the udder with hot water for
ane-half hour each morning and eve
aing. After thoroughly drying the sur
face of the udder, warm cottonseed oil
should be rubbed in with the palm.
A complete cure is possible in most
cases only by drying the cow off at
ance so that her system may be free to
fight the disease-producing germs that
are present in the udder.
Excellent Disinfectant.
A teaspoonful of crude carbolic acid
in a bucket of water makes an excel
lent disinfectant to sprinkle over the
hogpen floor to keep down odors.
Try it.
Vefmin Flourish in Filth.
Do not lose sight of the fact that
lice flourish in filth. Keep the place
clean and thus cut their career short.
Keep Soil Aerated.
Keep the soil well aerated and
mulched by constant cultivation.
Substitute for Red Clover.
While sweet clover can be grown
as a substitute for red clover and
generally furnishes more feed per
acre, the most valuable use of the
legume is for green manuring.
Cull Unprofitable Ewes.
Fatten unprofitable ewes now, dur
ing the warm weuther, and put fine
ewe lambs in tneir places.
.ibstitute for Manure.
When ^rt ot manure fertilize with

A review of numbers of new coat
suits for fall and winter reveals only
minor changes In style and no radical
new departures in trimmings and fin
ish. But styles are reserved and ele
gant, lines are trim and becoming, and
colors are beautiful, so the new fall
suits are destined to satisfy even an
exacting taste. Manufacturers say
that women are growing more discrim
inating and that the demand is for
good materials and exact workman
ship as well as smart style.
As to changes In styles, coats are
longer than they have been and many
widen the figure, t.vpn tne cymn
lengthens the neck and shoulder lines.
Three pretty new hats, each an ex
ponent of its particular kind of mil
linery, are shown In the group pic
