It has received that the soil in the Missouri
river bottoms surrounding Council Bluffs is
especially adapted to the production of the
best quality OF sugar beets and chicory
plants. Propositions have been made to the
firm to put in the necessary machinery upon
the guaranty that somebody up here will
furnish the vegetables, and while this was
treated lightly at first, there is now a posi-.

from the negotiations. The st. Louis men
are anxious to have local capitalists furnish

Cow Comfort.

One of the hardest things to impress
upon farmers is the value of comfort
to the COW, writes F.. c. Bennett IN
New York Produce Review. No mat
ter how we'll and wisely we feed, il the
COW is not comfortable she VIII not
eliminate a full mess of milk. Wheh
the cow is wet and chilled she uses tae
food for warming herself, and what Is
used in this way does not appear IN
the milk pail. 1t is gone, radiated 10
the wild prairie winds; lost forever. "A
cold rain causes her to shrink in milk
A raw wind dries her up. Forging III
the stalk fields in winter will do more
harm than good. She must be where
the temperature approXimates summer
temperature if she is to make milk as
she will in summer weather. Don't
send the cow to the fields for her feed
In cold weather; bring the feed to her.
Winter pastures are the delight OF the
horse raiser and the steer farmer, but
delusion to the winter dairyman. BIZ
not deceived. The weather in winter
is not suited to milk production ana
the COW must be sheltered from the
rain, snow and wind. No matter how
much green grass you have out in the
winter pasture, the COW giving milk is
not the animal to turn out there to
eat it. She will do we'll at it for a
time, but soon will adjust herself to
the climate and fatten instead of con-
tlnuing to fill the pail until spring.
The place where creameries have to
shut down in winter because Of lack OF
milk is where winter pastures are the
most of success, and the places where
winter dairying is most successful are
those where no reliance is placed on
winter pasture for cow feed. This does
not prove that succulent food like sill
age and roots is deleterious in winter.
Far from it. But succulent food should
be fed in a warm barn, not out in the
open field. This is hard thing to
impress upon those who are lovers of
the steer. The more rich feed steer
has the less he cares for shelter. He
Will often sleep in the snow from
choice. The heifer fed like a steer
will be much like one, and as unlike
what she should be for milk as posi-
BILE. Be careful not to put her on a
starchy diet and expose her to cold
winds, nor even keep cow in milk on
pasture in cold weather. Shelter her,
make her comfortable without forcing
her to use her food as fuel to keep her
warm. Exposure is fatal mistake no
matter how seductive may be the
temptation.

AlslNGPEAcocKs FOR PROFIT

There Is Much Money In the Industry
in England.
George Vanderbilt, Theodore Have
meyer and number of other very rich
men have quite recently taken it into
their heads to go into the business of
raising peacocks for profit, says an ex-
change. This is comparatively new
industry on American soil. Although
peacocks are not unknown here they
are not nearly so often seen as in Eng
land and on the continent of Europe.
Perhaps the most remarkable peacock
show today seen anywhere in the world
is at Warwick castle. The place is
famous for them and the handsomest
of the birds are white, rare color for
peacocks. 1t does not require great
skill to breed pea fowls. They must,
however, be fed regularly and plenti-
fully, and in winter they must have a
warm and sheltered home. The hen
bird should be allowed to chose her
own nest if a strong, healthy brood is
desired, and the tactics of the pea fowl
farmer in this regard should be exact
ly the opposite of the successful poul-
try raiser. 1t is understood that the
breeding of the birds is very profitable
in England, and it is not to be sup
posed that the millionaires whose
names are here mentioned would go in
to the business of raising peacocks I'M
less there was some possibility that
there would be money in it in Ameri-
ca.

She's a "aIenta1 Anarchist"

According to an English writer 1.-The
typical woman of the United States
today is a mental anarchist The
reasons for this are several. She is a
composite of all the races of earth, if
not in blood in points of view. She
is a product of experimental democ-
racy, and, like her country, blindly
but fiercely striving for an ideal. She
has been thrown largely on her own
resources; unlike the women of the
old world, she has done her own think
ing. She lives in an electrical at
mosphere; she is a spoiled child; she
finds herself component part of a
life that is ever changing, and changes
with it; she has come to regard her
self as by far the most important ele-
ment in that life; she is a child of the
hour, of the minute; she does not
strike root. Her independence has be-
ity. Is it matter for wonder, that,
finding the man she has married I'M
satisfactory, she losses him aside?
It is to be noticed that no morbid
novel has been written by any woman
of the United States. Neither is
serious criticism to be found in her
work, for these women are rarely
morbid and bitter; never, it might be
asserted, unless they are unhealthy
or very young. They act rather than
talk when it comes to crises. The
past, when disposed of has no further
concern for them. The present is
theirs, the future condition to be
nodded by their imperial will. 1t may
be asserted broadly that there is no
prejudice against divorce among the
upper classes dwelling in the large
cities of the United States, provided
no scandal has preceded the suit

one. The blood is used in refining

The hide goes to the tanner; horns and

pint of neat's-foot oil; the tail goes to

the end of the tail is sold to the mat
tress-maker. The choicer parts of the
fat make the basis of butterine; the in
testines are used for sausage castings or
bought by gold heaters. The undigest-
ed food in the stomach, which formerly
cost the packers of Chicago thirty thou

stroy, is now made into paper. These

Women Who Kept a Secret.

That women can keep a secret has
been proven in case in court at Lath-
rop, Kas. Some years ago a body of
women destroyed saloon, and a
charge of malicious destruction of
property was lodged against them. An
exchange notes that as many as thirty
were arrested; everybody present at
the time of the damage was summon
ed to court The prosecuting attorney
Of the county strove for two years to
procure a conviction Of somebody; re
porters in numbers besieged everybody
concerned, but not one of the women
weakened or betrayed the secret.

THE HOLY ALLIANCE,
Alexander of Russia a Man of Religious
Mind.


The Emperor Alexander of Russia
was a man of a mystical, it may be
said superstitious, habit of mind,
deeply impressed with the divine right
of kings, and, it must be added, with
corresponding conviction of the obli-
cation to govern according to what he
regarded as Christian principles, says
the Nineteenth Century. He proposed,
therefore, that the sovereigns in con-
gress should enter into holy alliance,
in which each pledged himself person.
ally to rule according to the Christian
standard, and to come to the assistance
of any other in the case of domestic
as we'll as international difficulty.
Lord Castlereagh, as the representative
of this country, demurred to a pledge
which his sovereign could not under
take independently of parliament, But
he desired to avoid all possibility Of
disagreement with the other powers.
and especially not to offend the suscep-
Utilities of a parsonage who had been
SO influential in overcoming the COM
mon enemy; and after correspondence
with Lord Liverpool at home, the
prince regent wrote friendly letter
expressing his personal interest and
sympathy with the aims of the other
sovereigns, while refraining on tho
ground of constitutional necessity from
entering, on his own part, into anv
obligations such as were proposed.
The other powers had no such hesita-
ton. They undertook the sacred duty
OF crushing trouble at the beginning by
lending their forces to put down any
movement, whether strictly domestic
or not, which threatened to Interfere
with an established organization, The
general outcome Of the settlement was
series of guarantees against interna-
tlonal aggression, supplemented by the
special obligations of the members of
the holy alliance to suppress internal
disorders.

Tho Milk Pail,

One OF the greatest causes of milk po-
luton in the common farm dairy is
the milk pail. Only the most advanced
dairymen pay sufficient attention to
this utensil. Wooden buckets and even
paper pals are used for the purpose of
receiving milk at milking time. Both
OF these easily become saturated with
the acids formed from the milk, and in
short time, though they may appear
clean, are absolutely worthless, If it
be desired to keep the milk in a proper
state. The wooden pail can be washed
and scalded, but the wood pores retain
that which will not be loosened by or
binary hot water. But in many cases
even no extraordinary attempts are
made for their cleansing. With the
paper pail it is even worse. Those
pals are stiffened by rosin and if they
be subject to very hot water they will
become soft and easily fall to pieces.
We have seen more than one of these
pals ruined by carrying boiling water
In them. So when they are used on
the farm and in the milking stable they
are only treated with tepid water. This
cannot cleanse them properly. In
short time, also, if they are washed
much the paint comes from the inside
and the bare rosin walls are laid bare.
which tend to impart to the milk a very
disagreeable flavor. That they should
be abandoned there is no question. Tin
pals, If properly kept, are alone suit
able for this work. A white iron pail
is preferable, as such pals can be got
that have no creases in the bottoms,
the whole pail being run in a single
mould. There are also no creases in
the sides. The only crease is at the
top where the pail is rolled around the
wire that runs around the top. There
fore, the whole pail can be kept clean
easily. If it costs more than the others,
the cost is soon offset by saving in
work OF cleansing, to say nothing about
the better condition in which the milk
is kept A proper attention to the milk
pail will pay we'll.
