Seems like we all must know Bill Galloway 
—the Farmer Manufacturer of Waterloo— 
and we all know him by the name ‘‘Bill” 
Galloway—not as ‘‘William”—just because 
the name of his firm is The William Galloway 
Company. 
For years Galloway has been the largest 
individual advertiser in the agricultural 
papers of the country. We’ve all read his 
advertisements and seen his picture in his 
ads. That makes us feel as if we all knew 
Bill Galloway personally. 
His style of advertising has been full of life 
and ‘‘ginger”—just like the man himself. 
Some competitors say he’s too "breezy” 
—but after folks find out that he has every¬ 
thing he says he has in his advertising, and 
does everything he says he’ll do, they com¬ 
mence to like his style of doing business. 
Galloway has grown wonderfully in the 
manufacturing line. It’s only a little while 
since he left the farm where he was born and 
raised. Twelve years ago he was milking 
cows and teaching calves to drink "skim” 
milk. Today he’s one of the biggest Farm 
Implement Specialty manufacturers in the 
country. 
First, he started making Manure Spread¬ 
ers, and they "caught on” quick—because 
he made the right kind of a machine and 
sold it on the right plan—at a price that was 
low. Thousands upon thousands of farmers 
throughout the country have bought Manure 
Spreaders on his plan. 
Then he took up Gasoline Engines—and 
made a big success with them. 
Now he’s got some good news from Cream 
Separator users. For five years he says lie’s 
been hunting for the machine that was good 
enough for him to endorse and sell on a 
liberal plan. Galloway says—"You know 
the way I do business is to leave it all to the 
other fellow to decide—so I’ve got to give a 
machine that will stand up under all con¬ 
ditions and do the work.” And then—on 
my price I don’t have enough margin on any 
one machine to stand for any mistakes, so 
the machine has got to be right before I'll 
push it.” 
He has just completed his manufacturing 
arrangements for 14,500 of his new Galloway 
"Oil Float” Cream Separators. Galloway 
sa y S —“People have been fooled on Separa¬ 
tors”—and Galloway ought to know. He 
says—“The old line manufacturers have 
been charging too much profit on their Sepa¬ 
rators, and the mail order houses have been 
going out with "fly-by-night” machines at a 
price too low to make a machine that was 
any earthly use at all.” He says that he now 
as you ever saw or could find.

HOGGING CORN IN MARYLAND. 
I have read in The R. N.-Y. about hog- 
ein v off corn. Would it be practical here 
in Maryland? I shall have from GO to 75 
=bote« * I was thinking of sowing rape or 
neas. Which would he the better and what 
kind? D ’ E ‘ °' 
Brookeville, Md. 
It will t> e a g°°d plan to sow rape in 
rows as early as you can get the land 
in good order in April. Sow in rows 
like ruta-baga turnips and cultivate well. 
In May sow another lot in early cow 
peas, like the New Era, and by the 
time the hogs hav* finished the rape you 
can turn on that and then plant the 
rape lot in corn, and .you can turn on it 
as the corn gets glazed, or you can sow 
another plot in peas and use them after 
the first one till the corn is ready. But 
in my experience it is more economical 
to use peas in succession and finish the 
pigs on dry corn gathered and fed in

DEATH TO WESTERN STOCR. 
This county has just passed through a 
remarkable experience—the worst storm 
for severity since its settlement. This 
county is well settled, finely equipped with 
farm buildings, groves and facilities, but 
was put to test. From January 20 to 2G 
was warm and open weather; a six-inch 
icy snow went off, ground thawed 3 0 
inches. It was very muddy in farm yards, 
and roads nearly impassable. Many farms 
have’ from 150 to 200 head of cattle and 
horses. The open weather caused stock 
to hunt pasturage and freshened up grass, 
and they left yards and went out on 
grasses and in cornstalk pastures. Farmers 
encouraged cattle and horses to do this, as 
they are healthier and have, their young 
better if they have Winter exercise. The 
afternoon of January 28 it began rainiug, 
increased rapidly toward evening, and 
thundered and lightened frightfully. About 
dark rain was pouring and runniug in 
torrents; at six o’clock rain continuing, 
wind shifted to northwest, and in 15 min¬ 
utes I noticed the mercury going down 
rapidly. By 7 :30 it turned into sleet, snow 
freezing as it hit everything, and cooled so 
rapidly that torrents of rain, six inches to 
two feet in low places and levels froze up 
solid as it ran and to every object; trees, 
buildings and live stock were covered in 
a few moments with solid ice. It would 
blotch fast to buildings and continue in¬ 
creasing until forming great chunks, and 
these would connect with snow on ground 
and drifts begin to pile and would be 
fastened right up against buildings to roof. 
Mercury rapidly dropped from 48 to nine 
above zero, and everything froze In solid 
ice. The wind went at rates from 40 to 
58 miles an hour, taking windmills, and 
1 saw large telephone poles snapped like 
pencils and carried, 'bodily *in ,the air 
like brushes. This continued all night of 
the 28th to evening of 29th, and then let 
up, but blew a gale all night, and went to 
10 below zero. 
We first saw that the house was safe 
and plenty of fuel and water, and we then 
were shut off from all the world. Tele¬ 
phones went out and electric systems were 
destroyed, trains stopped for three days, 
and we sought to save our live stock. We 
saved everything on our place, fortunately, 
got them up off the pastures to yards and 
ran them in, but the drifts went in on us 
in barns even, and piled from four to 15 
feet in yards. Wagons froze fast in ice 
so they had to be cut loose, and we saved 
everything in our stock even to poultry. 
But our neighbors did not fare so well; 
one neighbor one mile from me lost $ 2,000 
worth of cattle frozen in fields. Others lost 
from one or two to 1G head of animals in 
cattle and horses, and it Is so all over this 
county. Many found they could not con¬ 
trol their animals; suddenly covered with 
Ice they could not see, and some would 
not move. Others would drift covered with 
Ice before the storm, not being able to see 
anything, hut seeking high ground all the 
more froze to death because of being in 
exposed locations. Seme found they could 
by rubbing ice from their eyes get them 
to move; others put ropes around the* 
cattle and dragged them in barns against 
their will and struggling. Many risked 
their lives out in fields, as it was very 
risky with such high wind and flying ice 
and snow and broken trees. The mildness 
of previous weather had put all off their 
guard, and the unusual severity made life 
unsafe working with stock; the rain had 
freshened grass and stock was more. dis¬ 
tant If the loss is general all over the 
West as here it will be frightful. It seems 
all the more serious when fine barns and 
extensive sheds are on most of these places 
where loss occurred. w. m. b.
