The Best Land,

A man from the east corning here To
north Iowa seeking farm, asks us:
(which is your best soil for farm pur-
poses!" This is a somewhat difficult
question to answer. Here we have quite
variety of soils, Notwithstanding we
class them all under the general term of
prairie loan. We have the soils Dor
dering our streams, which have either
gravel or stiff clay subsoil coming
quite near the surface, soils which show
the effect OF wear and tear of cultivation
and erosion more than any others; then
we have what were in an early day the
wet lands soils allied to the gumbo
soils OF Texas-now drained and gradu-
ally by cultivation being tanned and
mellowed into our most productive lands
then we have the loan soils Of our up
land prairies, with clay subsoil, natural
ly well underdrained. The first and
second Of these soils are more sensitive
to seasons of abnormal drought or ex-
cessive rainfall than the last, and take
1t for period Of ten years will not equal
in crop production the last named. AS
Stunning the best, or last named soil, to
be worth $50 per acre, we should rate
the river farms with gravel subsoil at
S3o per acre and the reclaimed wet lands
at $40 per acre. In the long run for
general farming the $50 land will be
found to be the best investment.

The New Route to Seaboard.

1t is said that the roads leading to the
southern seaports are causing much dis
turbance among the trunk lines leading
to the northern Atlantic ports. st. Louis
was Tuesday bidding from cent to a
cent and half more ON both corn and
oats than Chicago-Press Rept. Feb. 4.
The foregoing is chock full Of special
interest to the Iowa farmer. Since the
state was first settled, all surplus farm
products have been forced to seek mar
ket at the eastern seaboard and been
compelled to pay toll to Chicago en-
route. While water competition nd
track Improvements have steadily low
cred the freight charge via this eastern
route, no combination has until recent
ly ever been able to divert the enormous
traffic from the old-established route,
which always included burdensome and
often useless transfer, elevator and sto-
rage charges imposed by set of corpo-
rate leeches at Chicago, Buffalo and
New York. The end Of this thing is now
very plainly in sight. The extensions
Of the III. Central railway and the com
pletion Of the X. G. and Port Arthur
route have opened up new seaboard mar
kets, the value OF which to the western
farmer is clearly shown in the above
clipping. A change in transportation
routes and terminal seaboard markets
which adds from ! to cents to the val.
ue OF each bushel Of Iowa oats and corn
is something to feel good over.

That Beef Scrap.

Two kinds OF beef were furnished the
government troops during the late war
refrigerated beef in the quarter and
canned beef. II the refrigerated beef
was kept properly refrigerated until
used, it was good beef-none better. II
taken from the refrigerator and exposed
to the heat Of tropical climate for q
hours before using, it was unfit for food.
This sums up all there is to this row
over the refrigerated beef. The local
conditions under which it was used
wholly determined its fitness for food.
The canned beef is another thing and
is but a dogs food at the best. All the

Twelve shorthorn cows owned by a

making an average OF gross product for
each COW of $685.. The family were
further supplied with milk and butter
and some of the calves sold for $50 each.
Here's more shorthorn testimony.
Will some smart woman please tell us

empty slops, wash dishes, mop floors,
wash dirty duds, and dress, or rather un-

their supreme folly in this matter?

done, that most road supervisors are

A certain cooperative creamery in
north Iowa has lot Of patrons who,
when the price or test is a little better
1t rival concern than at their own,
have been in the habit of withdrawing
and patronizing the rival concern. This
neasly and unpatriotic sort Of work
made it hard for the cooperative con-
Germ to keep its head above water. This
year plan has been devised to head
these fellows off, and at the annual meet
ing held lately, they put every patron
and stakeholder under a penalty of a
BPS fine for going back on his own folks.
Looks like this might fix 'em.

snow on the ground and not mouthful
of fodder for them to eat. The in
humanity of this thing-and its the
general style Of rancho cattle raising
enables these brutes in man form to
undersell the humane Iowa farmer who
feeds and cares for his stock. Such
brutality should be stopped by the
strong arm Of the law.
