Let Us Show You Paul Storey (HE CLOTHIER 1- Danger In Paiturinf Cattle In Fields Of Standing Stalks Farmers in the corn belt have at various periods experienced loss of cattle pastured on .standing cornstalks after the corn has been harvested in the autumn. An element of mystery has surround ed the death of cattle In these in fctauces. The disease is characterized by a very rapid course. In fact, very commonly there are no premonitory symptoms, and it is not nnusual for the owner upon visiting the field in the morning to find one or more fat cattle dead which on the previous evening were apparently in excellent health. Another peculiarity of the disease is N that losses may occur on one farm or In one field, while cattle on an adjoin. Jng farm or in an adjacent field may be free from the affection. Various investigators in the past tiave attempted to discover some germ or organism or some toxics substance which might be determined as .the cause of tola condition, bujt thus ftr the cause of the disease has not been established. Asdeath of stock from this affection is generally sudden and there is little opportunity for treatment-, animals should not be turned into a field with standing stalks. as a matter ox xact the disease may be actually prevented by cutting the stalks early and only feeding them after they cave been carefully onred and removed from the field. Losses from feeding on standing cornstalks emphasize the economic value of cut ting the corn and feeding the stalks in the barnyard or corral, or better still, shredding the dry stalks, in which condition they may bo fed with the least possible waste. , The so-called cornstalk disease should not be confused with poisoning from eating sorghum. Deaths among stock from eating sorghum have been traced to prusslo acid poisoning, which poison the sorghum under certain con dltlons of growth has been found to contain In combination. We would not go so far as to sy that the Farmers' Institutes that have been held in this city for several ycais past are alone responsible for the in creased yields in farm products, or for the better grade of cattle and horses that arc to be found in this locality, but we will nay that these institutes have been the main stimulus for hotter farming methods. At first thore was some good natured joking nbout the "paper collar" farmers but that has all passed because we all have learned that the men who come from our agri cultural school always have something of importance to Hive in.

William Arnold Passed Away In Oklahoma The old settlers of this county will learn with regret of the death of Will iam Arnold, who spent twenty years of his early manhood in this county. Mr. Arnold came to this county In 1870, and located in the northern part of Elm Creek township. He was pre ceded by his father Oscar Arnold and his brother Thad, the younger brother Charles, was then but n boy, living with his father. William was the eldest of a large family, all of whom made their homes for some time in this or Adams Coun ty. Samuel and John and Mrs. Mc Clary lived in the south part of Adams County. Mrs. Pearson, Mrs. Norrls, and Mrs. Johnson and Thad and Charles Arnold were all well known to most of the settlers in the east half of the county. William Arnold was a man except ionally qualified to make and retain friends. Genial, frank of speech free of thought, Industrious, honorable and hospitable, he 'was a man that easily won the affection and respect of those with whom be came in contact. He left this vicinity for Oklahoma nineteen years ago, where he has made his home ever since. His eldest son, Frank Is one of the lucky person to have an oil deposit In bis lands and enjoys a rental of f 1000 a month from the aame. A younger son, Fred, la a resident of this county, and was the democratic nominee for treasurer, at the last election, but, In the interest of fusion, surrendered his place on the ticket to the populist candidate. Mr. Arnold left surviving him, bis wife and seven children Frank, Fred, Eugene, Dallas, Hattle, Illanohe and Ora, each of them unusually qualified for useful service to society. His brother Charles, now the only one of the old Arnold family left In this county, and who still occupies the old Oscar Arnold homestead attended the funeral. A cousin of the deceased is the wife of Vaughn Hall, of Bladen. Crop Rotation A Preventive Against Corn Rootworm "An abundance of the corn bottles in a cornfield should be a distinct warning that the field should not be planted to corn the following year, but that it should be devoted to wheat, oats, barley, ryo, or to any crop other than corn,'' is the advice of the Depart tuent of Agriculture to western corn planters. The advice is contuined in llullctin No. 8, which in dealing with the west ern corn rootworm, one of the most destructive pests of the cornfield, ad vises crop rotation as a means of eradicating the worm. It is stated that not since the insect was discover ed has there been a cute on record where corn bus been iujiiied when giuwn on laud phuited the .scanu be fore to such .-mull g i'h in crops as when', rye, barley, or oats.

Mellor of the state board of agriculture is planning a cam palgn to advertise the crop yields of the state for 1013. A number of "stor' ies" have been sent to eastern news papers, heralding widespread ruin and destruction. As a matter of fact the true reports are extremely creditable to Nebraska's resources. So glaring have been 6orae of the reports that a number of advertising agenoies had planned to cancel their Nebraska ap propriations. Cruel Predictions Fulfilled.
