Some Mistakes.

We saw man last spring trying to
put in crop of oats with disc on a
stalk field where the pigeon grass had
swamped the corn. 1t was hard job
for him to get enough dirt loosened up
to cover the seed. The crop raised was
about as poor as it could be. We saw
another man trying to keep dairy of
twelve cows on pasture which was as
bare as the top of Mt Ararat during the
hot midsummer term. This was another
failure. We saw another man who let
thirty acres Of corn fodder go to waste
in the field, buying hay of his neighbors
last spring at "a per ton to carry his
stock through. Another mistake. We
know of two neighbors living thirty rods
apart, who each took notion to raise
turkeys last year. They raised some
turkeys but the birds also raised the
devil between these heretofore good
neighbors. Another blunder. We know
OF good woman who reasoned that il
100 hens paid good profit, 400 would
pay better; she also made blunder.
We know of man who treats his sons
as mate of river boat treats the
roustabouts, and this man makes the
worst mistake of all

The question of the wisdom of allow
ing any considerable portion Of time
allotted to Farmers Institute sessions
to be devoted to school and educational
matters has been brought up at several
Institutes this winter. 1t is claimed by
some that these interests are fully pro-
vided for by the educational meetings
and special institute work of the schools,
and that too much time is allotted to
them when the farmers get together to
discuss purely agricultural matters. We
have noticed this--that where the teach
ers and scholars have been given place
on institute programs, the institutes
have almost invariably been more of a
success than where they were not.

Does This Pays

Perhaps there is lesson here-A
farmer whom we know leaves his farm
this spring and moves into town. Thirty
years ago, as very poor man he came
west and got hold of small piece of
brush land. Thirty years Of incessant
toll by himself, wife and children, has
added to his acres, until he now owns
over 1000 acres Of highly improved farm
land, and small fortune in stock and
personal property connected with his
farm. He tells us now that he is PLAYED
out and has got to quit work just as he
had got everything as he wanted it. To
accomplish this result everything which
makes life worth the living has been
sacrificed. There has never been home
upon this farm in any true sense, just
simply feeding and roosting place
for an avaricious man and woman and a
lot of overworked boys and girls. No
refinement, no courtesy, no education.
lust thirty years of monotonous grind
365 days in the year for one and all, cow
milking, hogfeeding, blowing, husking,
harvesting, haying, eating and sleeping,
and all for the sole purpose of making
more and still more money. Well, the
money is made at last, and the warpin,,
,hrivelling and unnatural process en-
ployed in the making of it has left them
all--father. mother and children with.
,ut the capacity to enjoy it--left them
lot of intellectual driftwood, left them
nth money and no manners, with fat
bank account and starved minds, good
Bradstreet rating and few friends, good
money and poor morals. Call this man
success? No, no. 1t were bad enough
we're the effects limited to the life Of the
man and the woman, but there must
come to these children as they later
catch some glimpse of the real purpose
II living, nought but bitterness as they
:ealize how for moneys sake they were
robbed OF childhood's best endowment
and brutalized by those who regarded
hem as simply SO much working stock
IN the farm. Would to God this case
we're an exaggerated and unusual one,
out it is not. The farm home may
oe made the veriest paradise. where all
hat is best and good shall be born and
developed. or it may be made hell on
,arth, upon which the genial summer
uun ehall shine In mockoYy--a chaynel
Aouse Of human hepss aad aspirations.

Pumped Out.

The average rainfall Of the state re-
mains unchanged. The water level has
gone down from Is to rs feet lower than
il was forty years ago. The rivers and
streams OF the state have all shrunken
in volume and hundreds Of what were
good water-powers forty years ago are
to-day worthless. Where does all the
water 60 tor We are very much in
clined to believe that the change wrought
in the vegetation Of the state by settle
ment and cultivation has much to do
with the disappearance of the water.
A field of growing clover, corn, or small
grain win pump out Of the earth and
evaporate vastly larger volume Of
water than would the prairie grasses
which covered the surface Of the earth
In an early day, and herein may be
found . solution Of the pussle.

The delusion, that pigs born Of a
mother which had been attacked by and
had survived the cholera plague would
prove immune to the disease. was advocat-
ed at the late Mitchell county Institute.
This scheme has been fully tried, not
alone with the dam, but with the sire
also survivor of cholera herd. Such
progeny was the first to fall victims to a
subsequent visitation Of the disease.
This theory is wrong on general principles
The child of parents who have survived
an attack of smallpox is in no manner
rendered immune to that disease.

We sometimes hear it said that if one
man can raise 100 bushels of corn on an
acre of land, others can do the same and
raise the average OF the yield up to near
this figure. This is not true. 100
bushels of corn to the acre is an abnor.
mally large yield and rarely is ever OBJ
tanned save under specially favoring con-
ditions and on very limited area. That
man who, one year with another, will
make his corn crop average 80 bushels
to the acre, is good farmer. With
proper rotation, the use Of fertilizers, and
added work in the preparation of the
soil and care of the crop, it would not
be difficult to bring this average up to
90 bushels.

Ina paper published in the south,
fifty three years ago, writer tells how
ne increased the yield of an oat field
from seven to fourteen bushels the first
year, from fourteen to twenty-eight
bushels the second year, and from twenty
eight to forty bushels the third year by
sowing crop of COW peas as second
crop on the land and blowing them
under. These peas did for him what
clover will do for US in the north.

We are asked if improved Iowa farm
lands at $40 per acre are a good invest
ment? While quality of soil, location,
nearness to market and improvements
all have bearing on this question, we
do not hesitate to say that we regard
Iowa farm land at about these figures
as the best investment there is in sight
today. We have come to the day Of
cheap money and 8 to 10 per cent
securities are going, never to return.
$40 land can be made to pay one year
with another not less than 6per cent on
the investment, with the almost absolute
certainty that it has value in the near
future of not less than $50.

Taking the market price Of the severe.
cereal cropsfor this year a. follows-oats
%. corn 26. wheat 60, there is nothing to
encourage an increase in tho acreage Of
wheat. OF the three crops, wheat is by
far the most uncertain. While an aver.
age crop OF spring wheat OF fair quality
was grown in l897-about Is bushels per
acre-it is very easy to see that it was
the least profitable of the three crops

is the staple crop Of Iowa, and that one
year with another it will pay better tc

We know of a man who some years ago
without compulsion of law and just
simply because he loved to make that
part of the old earth which he owned
look as nice as possible, commenced
moving the grass and trim ming up the
trees along the highways which bounded
his farm on three sides. 1t soon came
about that all remarked the exceeding
beauty and neatness Of his farm and
without effort on his part-just through
the force of his good example-it has
resulted that all his neighbors were
led to do likewise and this community
which we sometimes visit, and always
with pleasure, is model and typical
illustration Of Iowa's best agricultural
development.

A good many recipes were given
through the papers after the late cold
snap, telling how to use frozen potatoes.
These recipes are no good. A frozen
potato is frozen potato, and the best
thing to do with them is to! ct them out
of the cellar as soon as possible and
feed them to the stock, if the cows and
hogs will eat them. A fro2 potato is
