Ida Grove Era
About two weeks ago Landlord Fergu-
son Drought young man from Sioux
City as general helper about the hotel.
The young man worked for about ten
days when he was asked to wash some
windows. This he refused to do saying
that he had not hired out to do that
kind of work. OF course he lost his
job. He claimed that he had worked at
the printers trade for some time and
on having been let out at the hotel
made application at this office for work.
Although we needed boy we could not
find work for a young man who is
above washing windows AS the young
man grows older he will probably find
that employers usually seek boys who
are willing to do any kind of honorable
work.
DUBuQUE'S SLOT MACHINE REV.
ENUE.
dubuque Times.l
Slot machines are a source of big rev.
enue to this city. In the month of Oc-
tober licenses were paid on forty ma
chaines at $40 each, making total Of
$500 for the month. Already this month
licenses on forty-four machines have
been paid at the same rate, which
makes the revenue for the month $780,
IL the revenue from this source aver
ages $500 monthly, the annual receipts
Will be $4,000, an amount sufficient to
pay half the annual expenses of the
police department.
The state law provides against the
operation of slot machines, but they are
tolerated in every Iowa town. In
every saloon and cigar store in Du-
buque there We're one or more slot ma
chimes during the period of time be-
fore licenses was fixed on the devices.
The owners Of the machines. who are
the proprietors of the factories where
the machines are made, reaped rich
harvest, which wasn't regarded favor
ably by civil officials. The police de-
partment finally concluded that if the
machines We're to be operated, the city
might as we'll have revenue out Of
them. Not being able under the state
law to impose a license, it was de-
cided to require the person in whose
place each machine is kept to pay $50
a month for its operation or suffer it to
be confiscated or destroyed. A crusade
was started and the fines We're paid.
1t is three months since the crusade
was started, and in that time the city
has derived more than $500 revenue.
The size of the amount suggests that
thousands of dollars must each month
pass into these slot machines. The
odds are against the player. but the
player continues to ''go agains. the
game And. SO long as he does, the
city will continue to derive big rev.

RELIGION THIS AUTUMN.
N. y. SUM
This autumn, made memorable by !
events and movements of capital inn
portance and momentous significance in
the secular world, is also distinguished
by an activity of thought and interest
in the subjects of religion which affords
a new demonstration of the fact that
never before have religious questions
awakened more serious study than they
are now receiving. The very able dis
cussion of the question of Immortality
which has been going on in the Sun is a
striking indication of the present ten
dency to religious inquiry which goes to
the very foundation of the doctrines
and dogmas of theology Such a dis
cussion would have been Impossible a
few years ago. 1t could not then have
taken place without an acerbity of spir-
1t which would have made the contro-
versy provocative of evil only. Now it
goes on without recrimination and in
tone of philosophic calmness.
At Boston the Congregationalists of

Most Valuable Marie.

A bulletin of the Virginia Expert
ment Station says that Professor Cook
thinks that the most valuable marls
and those which will best pay the cost
of long transportation are those which
contain the largest per cent of phos-
phoric acid; that the most durable
marls are those which contain the
most carbonate of lime (CaCO,): that
green sands containing but little of
either phosphoric acid or carbonate of
lime become active fertilizers when
composted with quick lime; that marls
which are acid and burning from con-
tanning sulphate of iron can be rem
dered mild and useful as fertilizers by
composing with lime; that forage
crops, clovers, grasses, etc., are par
ticularly improved by the use of marls.
Lime, which has been called the "basis
of all good husbandry," is probably one
of the most valuable and most extens-
lively used Of mineral manures. The
value of lime and other mineral man
ures as fertilizers depends much upon
their composition, and in this the agri-
culturist must seek the aid of the
chemist.

Draining Land With Trees.

A Maine contributor to American
Gardening takes as his text draining
land with trees and shrubs. He writes
as follows: found it necessary to Sc
lect location for the cesspool of
new house, and in the light of past ex-
perience I fixed upon place rod and
a half from an elm of a century's
growth and within few feet of pro-
posed line Of hedge. The location
would also be where a bunch of shrubs
or evergreens could be grouped to give
good effect to the lawn when laid out.
l placed the cesspool in this situation
because had learned by experience
that trees and shrubs drink up enor-
nous quantities of liquids from the
ground and that their roots delight to
feed upon just such impurities as will
soak out into the surrounding ground
from cesspools and sink drains. No
one would believe what quantities of
water the roots of single tree even
will take up from the ground unless
he has had practical demonstration
before his eyes.

What q Former Resident of IdahoSays
Regarding Western Canada.
Mr.. T. A. Tolman, of Lacombe, AL
berta. N. w. T., former resident of
Cascia County, Idaho, who moved to
Western Canada in July, 1894, writes
as follows:
II brought here thirty-four head Of
cattle. fifteen horses, two wagons, two
sets Of harness and one hundred and
fifty dollars in cash. I homesteaded

Township 49, Range 26, west of the 4th
Meridian, also purchased quarter

land. have been farming more or
less all my life and am convinced
that you can raise crops 40 per cent
cheaper here than where I came from.
My capital at present, counting every
thing, is about five thousand dollars.
The yield of my grain all round in 1897
was 60 bushels per acre. This year
(lS9S) yield Of wheat per acre, 37k
bushels, oats, SO bushels, barley,
IS, and potatoes, 400 per acre.
l consider that this is much
better country for a man than
where came from, provided he is in
dustrious. You get free homestead
here, and Canadian Pacific Railway
lands are cheap and the terms easy.
l have now made my seventh payment
on the land purchased by me. and am
much pleased with my purchase, as the
land has already much more than paid
for itself. School law here is decidedly
ahead Of where l came from, and there
are schools wherever there are set

pertinent station has been keeping .

pertinent station has been keeping q
careful observation upon the occur
renee of the diseases Of domestic ami
mails in the state, and brief summary
OF the conditions for the past year are
as follows: The greatest loss has been
caused by hog cholera. The disease
has been general all over the state, but
has not so completely devastated all
the herds in a given locality, as is
often the case. The total loss is prob
ably more than 100000 hogs, valued at
more than s5,OoO.ooo. The disease has
subsidized somewhat at the present time.
The station has used 4,300 pounds OF
guaranteed cholera cures" in the past
two years, without finding a practical
remedy.
Cattle were affected by an unusual
number of diseases. Contagious sore
eyes existed as an epidemic during the
late summer. While it did not cause
many fatalities, it resulted in much
loss in delaying the fattening process
| and in a diminished flow of milk.
few weeks later an epidemic of sore
| foot and mouth disease occurred, also
causing considerable loss. Within the
past few weeks several hundred fatal
| tiles have resulted from eating spoiled
corn and fodder This loss is erro-
neously attributed to ergot. Ergot,
however, never occurs on corn, and as
far as experiments have shown, the
corn smut does not produce any known
disease. The disease is probably pro-
duced by some product of the decom-
position of the corn. tuberculosis has
been found where it had not been sup
posed to exist, and requests for tuber-
culin tests are constantly being made.
The station, however, is not prepared
to conduct these tests. Symptomatic
anthrax caused considerable alarm in
some localities.
Sheep escaped disease as rule dur
ing the summer months, but late re-
ports indicate some trouble may be ex-
pected this winter. Horses have been
practically free from epidemics.-A

Farmers as Road Builders.

Here in Paulding county we build
roads that cost the taxpayer $3.50 in
cash per mile, of crushed stone, nine
feet wide and nine inches deep. This
is 1920 cubic yards, at 65 cents per
cubic yard, or 1858, says an Ohio con-
tributor to the Rural New Yorker. The
hauling is done by the farmers and
others who are interested in roadmak-
ing, which is much more satisfactory
than to bond the township, and pay six
per cent interest to raise the extra ST.
142, which he must pay if he leaves it
to the contractor, while his team, per-
haps, stands in the barn.
The increase in the valuation of the
land is the least reason why we should
improve the roads. Pleasure and home
comforts depend upon our facilities for
getting around. Churches and schools
depend on them. Show me district
where the roads are all unimproved,
and l will show you district that is
lacking in moral standard, and chill
dren are at a disadvantage to obtain
even common-school education.
Churches must close their doors dur
ing the winter, and when summer
comes, all have lost interest in church
going.
Why try to increase the products of
the farm. and not increase our facili-
ties for delivering them to market? It
costs the farmer more to deliver his
products to the railroad than it costs
to ship it from there to the city. Who
would take the contract to haul 100
hogs four miles over bad mud road
after big rain, for what it costs to
ship them to the city? have seen. in
this county, four horses attached to a
wagon loaded with less than 1900
pounds, and then it was a sin to have
them out in such mud. Often we are
compelled to walk and take with US
our butter and eggs, while our horses
are in the barn needing exercise. all
because the road is too bad to take
them out. It does increase the price
Of land. as land along good pike will
