Decorah public opinion. (Decorah, Winneshiek County [Iowa]) 1895-1928, 1897-11-16

There are large droves OF cattle be-
ing fed. Two men, whose lands join
mine, one nearly so, are each feeding
100 head and upwards, and there are
numbers OF others feeding less. A great
many yearlings and two-year-olds are
shipped into these parts from the
north and are known as northern cat
tie. So far as l can see they COM
pare well with those which we our
selves raise.
The Angora goat is also making a
slow Roadway with us. Men buy them
who have hazel land. II is claimed for
them that they will quickly kill that
underbrush. However, it takes eight
wires to confine them to the pasture.
Since last fall several flocks Of sheep
have come into these parts. 1t Is a
cheering fact that so many are turn
Ing, in measure, away from corn and
hogs alone to other departments Of
farm work. Hereafter it will not be
hogs and corn, and corn and hogs, as
it hitherto has been.
The creameries, too, are aiding.
Within five miles OF my table are three
creameries, and others come into that
radius for milk. The industry is large
ly becoming cooperative. The stock
holders are enthusiastic over it. The
secretary of one told me that theirs
paid 13 per cent annual dividends; in
addition to the milk returned. Per-
haps this business is the first link in
the chain which will bind farmers TO-
gether in community of action.
1t is waste of the public funds to
buy two-inch pine planks for culverts
and bridges. AS Il rule, the lumber
itself is from old, dead trees and is
knotty and brittle. l never take a trip
nowadays but what / have to drive
around some uncrossable affair over q
gully or dry creek channel. The floor
if it be two-inch, should be half-soled
or else of three-inch plank. One three.
inch plank will outlast three two-inch
floors. To put two-inch plank on q
bridge is saving at the spigot and vast.
ing at the bunghole. Farmers should
see to it that their taxes are econom-
ically expended.
Good roads are blessings in various
ways. So many farmers would not
leave their old homes for town could
they always have good roads on which
to travel when they visit, or go to the
postoffice, or to church, or other gath
ering. 1t is positive pleasure to bug
gy ride over good roads behind first
class span Of roadsters.
In most cases the country roads have
too wide grades. Narrow grades are
the things. The bitches, too, On either
side should be deep enough to keep the
grades well drained. / suppose that I
am an average taxpayer in this town
ship, and have reached the conclusion
that the county should do all the road
work. This county is doing quite a
good deal, and the roads thus worked
are by odds the best.

Gov. Brakes Proclamation is Marked by
Its Breyity.
DEs MONIES, Nov. 10.-Governor
Drake has issued his Thanksgiving
proclamation, calling upon the people
of Iowa to give worshlpful thanks
November p. 1t is as follows:
Following an ancient custom Of our
country. l, Francis NJ. Drake, govern
or of the state of Iowa, do hereby rec
ommend that Thursday. Move IN Der -,
1897, the day named therefor by the
president of the United States, be set
apart by the people of this favored
commonwealth and observed as day
of Thanksgiving and praise to the Giver
Of all good for the blessings and boun-
ties of another fruitful year.
At that time in our accustomed
places of worship and in the family
circle, let us raise grateful voices of
praise to the All Father for life and
home and Frightening material pros
poets, for the gracious gifts the rolling
seasons have brought us, and for pres
ervation from famine, peStilence and
elemental havoc. Let us also empha-
size our gratitude by generous and
substantial remembrance of the neeoy,
the suffering and the afflicted among
US. Thus. and in all other righteous
ways, may ours be the happiness of
''the people whose God is the Lord.

Notes by the WAY.

The drouth across the entire width
Of southern Iowa has been exceedingly
severe. The water supply is a serious
question. Said a leading farmer today:
"A rain which would fill the holes in
the draws would be worth many dol
lars to me. have but one pasture out
of four which has any water in 1t, save
as it is pumped" Farmers are deepen
ing their ponds. and adding to the
strength of the dams.
Many of the young trees planted In
the spring are as dead as stones. Quite
n good many plants, shrubs and trees
which are ironclad, SO far as cold
weather is concerned, cannot endure
a drouth. Cherry trees are much more
tender in drouth than the plum. Among
the shrubs the hardy hydrangea must
be watered or it will die. That fine
shrub, the Japanese SNOWFALL, Is dear
lover of water. must drink 1t or 1t too
will perish. So must the evergreen
shrub, the Siberian arbor vitae. This
habit of these plants / learned by sad
experience.
Apples in every direction have about
all dropped Off the trees. They are
nearly all wormy, which must be the
cause. The hot sun burned the south
side OF the fruit and in many cases
caused 1t to rot on the trees. Many OF
the early potatoes have also suffered
from the intense, persistent heat and
are shriveled and leathery. At the
groceries potatoes are selling at from
so cents and upwards, and many are
small.
The buckwheat crop. though short in
stalk, is quite well filed. 1t Is mostly
cut. The youngsters are anticipating
buckwheat cakes this winter with
sorghum molasses on both sides. for
nearly every farm has good-sized
patch of cane. II is being made at 20
cents a gallon, or on the halves.
The high price OF wheat has caused
quite stir on the farms and large
breadth Is sown 20 that grain. 1t was
cultivated in and narrowed couple Of
times. Spring wheat does not meet
with much favor with us. Chinch bugs
are hard on spring wheat.

Coolic Miners in Illinois.

MORRIS, Ill, Nov. 10. The Whining
ton Coal Association, operating the
mines in the Braidwood Wilmington
field has determined to end tine strike.
The contest is to be waged at Carbon
Hill mine No. ?, in Grundy county,
and will be started rs soon as the mine
can be got ready for the 600 for 500
men the operators propose to put at
work. There is said to be little ques-
ton that many of these men will be
Chinese miners from the northwest,
who will enter into contract to dig at
81 cents. the old price. Trouble is
anticipated. as the strikers threaten
blooished if the Cinnamon are put to
work

How TIA Done.


If you want to know how to get your
wife to mend your clothes, find the Sc
cret in the following domestic Incl
dent:
Its strange l can't get my wife 20
mend my clothes" remarked Mr.. Bril-
die, in tone of disgust. II asked her
to sew a button on this vest this
morning, and she hasn't touched it."
"You asked her." said Mr.. Norris,
with slight shrug of his shoulders.
Eyes; what else should l do?"
"You haven't been married very long
and perhaps you'll take pointer from
me-" answered Mr.. Norris, with a faith
erly air. Never ask a woman TO
mend anything. That's fatal"
why, what do you mean"
do as l do. When l want shirt
mended, for instance, / take it in my
hand and hunt up my wife. Where's
that rag-bag. Mrs. Norris?' 1 demand,
in stern voice.
What do you want the rag-bag
for?' she says, suspiciously.
"I want to throw this shirt GEay;
it's all worn out / reply.
Let me see,' she demands.
But l put the garment behind my
back.

back, where it is finished with long,
black satin sashes. These sashes and
the lower edge Of the garment itself
are trimmed with fiounces OF black
chiffon, while the velvet is studded with
immense jetted balls. Another gar
ment is bloused all around under a
belt and has large bishop sleeves. What
gives it its decidedly unique air, how
ever, is the embroidery which covers
it. This embroidery is all done in
inch wide black MORE ribbon. The
ribbon is not set on plain, but is very
full and stitched down on each edge.
AS the design is carried out in large
scrolls, of course the garment would
not become small person. IL you
have a silk bodice that is too light 20
wear late in the fall, veil it with black
or dark blue chiffon put on full. A
novel idea is to veil the entire back
and one-haif of the front, starting the
latter on the left shoulder and bring
ing ii down to finish on the right side
at the belt. OF course, you understand

OHIO LEGISLATURE.

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Nov. S.-The con-
