Btata Gams Warden Miller today gaa out
a deal of Information which, considered In
the light of the fact that the official ha
made a careful Investigation and know
what he la talking abtmt, would bring
thrill of delight to every sportsman in
Nebraska.
The new 1 that at the present time
there I a greater abundance of prairie
chickens, quail, rabbit and such gam over
the state than for many, many year peat.
This 1 accounted for by Warden Miller In
th long drouth and the lack of hall storms
daring th month of June, when th young
of practically all th wild gam In the
border are born. Further, In the western
part of the state, according to Mr. Miller,
th fact that there 1 a wide-spread Influx
of grasshopper has much to do with the
many wild fowl which are now to be
found there. "They have mad a food for
th birds and have in many case saved
many young one from death by starva
tion as In year past. All of these birds
thrive and grow fat on grasshopper,"
aid Warden Miller.
The season for shooting quail In Ne
braska begin on November 1 and con
tinue for fifteen days. Prairie chickens
may be shot In the months of September,
October and November According to an
act passed by the last legislature, no one
may shoot more than ten bird in one
day nor have more than the ame number
in their possession at one time. Hereto
fore the number was placed at twenty-flv.
There Is no open season for the shooting
of curlew. Ducks and geese may be shot
during th same season as provided for
chickens. But twenty-five can be killed In
any one day.

DRAINING FARMS IN IOWA
Vast
Area of Waste Land
Reclaimed and Made Pro
dacttve. Be
Th farmers of Iowa are spending on a
vast project to drain their swamp lands
three-quarters as much money as the
United States government Is paying to
build the Panama canal. They hav al
ready used $3,000,000 In the work, and the
total cost of th improvements when fin
ished 1 estimated at $307,000,000.
It Is expected that hundreds of thousands
of acre will be added to the tillable area
of the state, acres which during ages have
been accumulating richness washed down
upon them from higher land as well as by
decay of their own swamp vegetation,
acres which need only to be released
from the embarrassment of too much wa
ter to demonstrate their wonderful fertility.
Th millions that wll) thus be added to
the value of Iowa are beyond the reach of
accurate computation, although sanguine
advocates declare that th state will be
wealthier by half a billion dollars or
more when the work Is finished.
The reclamation was begun In 1904, and
thus far nearly $8,000,000 ha been spent on
public drainage ditches In fourteen out of
the thirty counties In which the work Is
projected. In the remaining sixteen coun
ties some $7,000,000 more will be expended
so that l.UCO.000 acres of farms will be Im
proved at an average cost of $5 an acre.
The result Is the throwing open to cultiva
tion of swamp and flood land which will
hereafter be worth from ITS' to $200 an
acre. The estimated totaj cost of the pub
llo drainage ditches Is $60,000,000. These
figures are supplied by the state conserva
tion board, who calculate that Individual
owners will spend $247,000,000 more out of
their own pockets In draining wet lands.
By the Iowa plan, large open drains are
first built, then tiled lateral ditches lead
ing to them, and the small tiled drains
under Individual farms some of the latter
running within four rods of one another,
and as small as four inches In diameter.
In many cases farmers have paid from
$25 to $76 an acre to tile and drain their
farms Into the publlo drains. Where crops

CRAZE FOR CLIMBING ROSES
Bower f the Beaatlfal la New
Variety that Bloom All
Summer.
The last ten years has witnessed a re
markable development In climbing roses.
Indeed, It may be said that when the horti
culturists of America began to transfer
th4 beauties of the old time favorites to
trailing vines, a new era of rose culture
in America was established.
I know of no single group of climbing
or trailing vines that can be measured up
against the 'climbing roses of today and
stand the test.
Th honeysuckle may flower long, but
It Is not gorgeous; the wistaria has but a
very short season, and so on all through
tho list. But I can show you climbing roses
that will give a succession of bloom from
June until the end of October. Can you
equal that In any other group of vines?
a generation ago the climbing roses
available were a far different group front
what we have today. All were more or less
tender, if the flower were of any size. All
were somewhat Insignificant In flower by
comparison, If they were at all hardy,
with only one or two exceptions. Th Ayr
shires, the Noisettes, etc.. were too tender,
and the' two or three hardier ones were
too singular.
It was the coming of the Memorial rose,
less than twenty years ago, that made the
vine rose a reality In our gardens. With It
cam absolute hardiness, great floriferous-
ness, graceful habit, rapid growth, resist
ance to Insect and disease and long-endur
Ing foliage. ,
The almost slmultantoua appearance of
a showy, hardy, crimson, cltmhtrisr mid
from China, with flowers In dusters, con
centrated the attention of gardeners, and
the very natural question arose whether
this could be combined with th.
Memorial. Th Crimson Rambler, though
strong growing and gorgeous, had all the
weaknesses of the old time rose. It was
pron to disease, a somewhat stiff grower
and its foliage became ser and yellow
in in height of summer defects that had
forced Into the background Its natural pro
totype, th single whit multlfiora, which
naa neen knocking at th door for recog
nition for 100 years.
New hybrid were quickly produced and
among th earliest of these are some
which are In th front rank of our climb
ing rosea today. A remarkable wav of In
terest arose. Th new climbing roses srjread
everywhere. In the meantime the still new
raw or hybrid roses was finding popularity
because It was ever-blooming.
Hybridists were quick to take th next
logical step and combine this race with th
Memorial. Th results are upon us today;
and the onrushlng wave of popularity
has brought back with It and placed In

flowering early in June and soon rum.,.
closely following this Is (2) the rn,,n
i prairie roses, originating from our own
Rosa setlgera, freely growing, with gray
green foliage, heavy flowers, and of a
somewhat dull color; they ar chiefly use
ful because they lengthen the season and
bridge the gap tq th (3) Memorial group.
The Memorial rose (Rosa wlchuralana)
flower from July to September, but In Its
hybrids Its season la extened both before
and after. I have cut wreaths of some
of Mr. Walslfs hybrids when the frost
on them. Every on knows the
beautiful Dorothy Perkins, a pink flowered
prototype of Crimson Rambler, with all
the good points of th Memorial. Its
wreathing trusses of bloom, bright, pure
Pink, and the plant Itself, well dressed
with glossy foliage as long as any other
of th climbing vines, make it a universal
favorite.
It should be remembered, however, that
ollmblng rose are not real climber and
must be trained In th way they should
go; but they are not exacting. The secret
of good climbing roses Is simply good
soil. Th trenching cannot be too deep nor
can you well overfeed. Buy strong plants,
give water In proper season and you can
'cut sprays and wreaths of blooms at your
'will and to th benefit of next year's
l growth.
But even though the likelihood of
serious Injury beinc done hv t r l r

the part of wisdom to keep on th look
out and be prepared. Therefore by all
means spray plants to some extent. Liver
of sulphur solution Is effective against
mildew, and Bordeaux mixture is a spe
cific for all other fungus diseases.
If unduly crowded and In dry situations
th foliage of many of these roses will
succumb to attacks of red spider, the one
efficient remedy for which Is water. If
the rose bug comes and you must fight it,
hand picking Is about the only remedy.
You cannot attack this pest by poisoning,
because It finds Its harbor In the very
flowers themselves. The really practical
remedy Is to grow the flowers In such
lavish profusion that the appearance of
the Insects will not be seriously noticed.
If aphis attacks early In the season use
a strung water spray or a soap solution."

BALLEW CLAIMS THE HONOR
Kansas Victim I ses Up a Roll
Prosecuting; the Mabray

la
The man who broke Into the secrets of
the Maybray "gang" of swindlers, shat
tered the system backed by John C. May
bray's practical knowledge of psychology,
and closed th "big store" in Council
Bluffs, la., lives at the southwest corner
of Twenty-aecond street and Benton boule
vard. In Kansas City. He Is Thomas
Winfleld Ballew, who lost $30,000 to the
gang In 1909 on a fake horse race. Im
mediately he started to break the gang.
Sine he started more than fifty of the
gang have been Imprisoned and two hun
dred altogether have been caught who were
Implicated In the swindles. He has spent
about $50,000 In chasing the crooks. Last
week he went to New York to Identify
two men who were alleged to be members
of the gang. He recognized one of the
men.
Mr. Ballew lived In Princeton, Mo., when
he became the victim of the swindler,
Maybray. He owned a string of lumber
yards on the Chicago, Rock Island & Pa
cific railroad, besides a store In Princeton.
He formerly was part owner of a bank In
Princeton. A man named John R. Dobbins
was the "steerer" In this case. Ballew
was acquainted with Dobbins. Dobbins
was one of the men convicted.
Mr. Ballew still Is In New York, but Mrs.
Ballew knows well the search that her
husband has been prosecuting to get the
gamblers.
"Mr. Ballew knew Dobbins when he lived
In .Iowa, and took a kindly Interest In
man," she said last night. "Dobbins told
Mr. Ballew that he could make a fotune
and start right again if he had the money.
He said that be knew of a fixed race which
hs could get Into for $30,000. He wanted
to borrow that amount. Mr. Ballew let
blm take It.
"It Is a mistake to say that Mr. Ballew
bat his money on the race himself. He
never gambled In his life. But the tearful
vole of Dobbins Induced him to let him
have th money to bet Of course, Dobbin
lost, and th money was gone. Immedi
ately Mr. Ballew started to break th
gang. He employed detectives to search
tor th men. He was responsible for th
capture of Maybray and th member of
bis gang.
"W received threatening letter from
different members of the gang. They
said they would kidnap our little grand
son. They mad threats of death, but Mr.
Ballew wasn't dismayed or worried ap
parently. He kept after them. Others
seemed to be ashamed to admit that they
were mixed In th swindle or feared that
they would be arrested as parties to a
swindle." '
Mr. Ballew has lived In Kansas City
eight months. He Is 68 years old. His
only sight of the men was the day wtien
Dobbins Induced him to go out on the road
where the race was to bo run near Coun
cil Bluffs. H was Introduced to the
members of the gang and has remembered
them so well that he baa not failed to

Cheery Prospects of Cold Air

Home.
Dr. Alexander Graham Bell ha been
busy at Washington this summer on a
cold-air system for city houses In hot
weather. His refrigerating method Is
modification of th "Ice stove" Invented
some years ago by Prof. Moor of th
weather bureau. Th latter planned to
distribute chilled air through th living
rooms of a house. But th air soon es
caped and the original temperature pres
ently returned.
Dr. Bell bases his system upon a cold
air tank on his ground floor. Air pipes
lead through an Icebox to th bottom of
the tank. The Cow of al w regulated
by an electrio fan. Tne tank becomes
filled with cold air, exactly as it might
the air stays there with a minimum of
loss through encounter with th warmer
air overhead. Thus while the president
and congress are sweltering at 90 degrees.
Dr. Bell, equipped with easy chair, study
table and couch, Is enjoying life In his cold
air tank at th very comfortable tempera
ture of 65.

establishing a principle upon which may
be based a practical plan for refrigerating
a portion of any city .house. He believes
that most householders may arrange sum
mer climates for themselves, according to
the peculiarities of their respective home.
He Is not patenting any of the appliances
connected with the new Idea. And if, as
he maintains, the expense of such a made-to-order
climate for an entire summer Is
likely to be less than that of a single week
at some watering place, many suffering
city dwellers may be prompted to try his
plan. Chicago Record -Hera 14
