Candidates Abroad.

In certain northern Iowa county a
banker, dentist, merchant, a lawyer
and farmer are running for the legis-
lature. They are working under the
primary system where personal can
vass is almost compulsory. The banker
talks reduced rates OF interest, the dem
fist promises to fix the fangs of the
trusts, the merchant talks reduced
freight rates and cheaper merchandise,
the lawyer just talks and promises
everything and the farmer is running on
general principles. 1t is supertluous
for us to remark that just now in that
county Is the time to get a loan at the
bank, or ones teeth filed, run up a
store bill, or get some gratuitous legal
advice. This is the way of politics.
Theoretically it's all wrong. All these
men should he dropped and qualified
man who does not seek the Office be Sc
lected by the people to represent them.

What Killed the Clover.

We have made special effort lately
to find out if possible, the cause of the
killing of the clover. We have examined
different fields of dead clover, noted
location, condition of fields as it went
into winter quarters, and have come to
this conclusion severe frost struck the
fields early in November while the clover
plants were full of sap and growing as a
result of late fall rains; they remained
frozen solidly until January. when the
ground thawed out to the depth of from
one to four inches: this was succeeded
by the intense cold of February which
finished them up. We note that all the
clover which pulled through is that
where snow drifts, or a heavy growth OF
last years stubble or clover haulm pre-
vented the thawing out of the land in
January. Most clover fields were either
cut for seed or else pastured down, leav
ing them with but little protection
against such extreme and fatal conditions.
In other words the condition which
killed the winter wheat and much of the
rye, the Strawberries etc, also killed the
clover

The Big Farm.

Asked to name the thing which
would most benefit the county in which
lived, the editor of a paper in a north
ern Iowa county recently stated that it
would be breaking up and subdivision
of the large farms In this particular
county large tracts of land are held by
non residents, which are leased out, and
under which system tenantry popu-
lation prevails a class of tramp farmers
having no interest in any of those things
which benefit the community at large
churches, schools, highways, nice
homes and the like, these men very
rarely we'll to do and forehanded, the
rental exactions neverconceding tothem
willingly anything more than just bare
living. All such communities are under
a blight and can easily be located by the
traveller as he passes by. 1t is crafty
ing to note that in many localities the
owners OF such lands are now finding II
more profitable to sell them than to rent
them and we hope the day is not fai
distant when landlordism in this sense
shall be an unknown factor in Iowa
agriculture.

An Astral Weather Service.

We take no stock in an astral weather
service, in other words, forecasts of the
weather and seasons, based on planetary
movements and conjunctions. Such
service is too closely allied to the monk
ey business of the city astrologer and
the wandering gypsy bag, either of
whom, for a dollar, will read and tell
your fortune from the stars.
A steady guesser as to coming and I'M
known things, such as the weather, will
of course, guess right part OF the time
but then, it is all guess, and as pre-
diction upon which to rely, such fore
casts are absolutely worthless. Still
there is so much latent superstition in
the makeup OF even civilized Americans
that charlatans of this breed find plent,
of victims, and line their pockets while
they laugh up their sleeves at the ere
dulity of mankind.
A weather service based upon science,
so far as it can be utilized, which fore
casts weather changes based upon ex
listing barometrical and thermometrical
conditions, is of value, and is worth
studying and needing but the foretep
ing of coming floods, droughts, frosts
cyclones and the like, year ahead
from star movements and conjunctions
is monumental humbug and fraud.

At the Agricultural College

The writer spent day last week at
the college farm at Ames. Some things
which we saw and found out may be OF
general interest. President Beardshear
tells us that never in the history of the
college has the attendance been SO large
or the work in all departments 50 salts
factory. The farmers excursions to the
college, of which there were two last
year, proved splendid advertisement
and resulted in a large accession Of stu
dents Prof. Curtis, who is in charge OF
the experiment station, is now in Europe
studying various phases OF European az
riculture.
Prof. Atkinson, who has charge OF eN-
periments in field crops, has IA lot of yer,
interesting work under way, in the line
of new grasses, legumes, the width and
depth of planting field crops and their
fertilization. The clovers medium,
mammoth, alsike alfalfa and other va
rieties all died with the hard winter.
The bronze grass wintered perfectly, aud
seems to have much promise, having Il
growth twice as heavy as timothy, which
it much resembles in leaf.
The fruit interests at the college have
met with serious set back as a result
of the past test winter. The old orchard
some twenty years old, largely of Rus
sian varieties of apples top-grafted or
Haas stocks, is, so Prot. Craig told Us,
practically ruined, ninety per cent OF
the trees being dead or dying. 1t is the
worst wreck of a fine old orchard that
we ever saw. All varieties of cherry
with "A few exceptions, suffered more OF
less. The winter exploded a lot of the,
cries in horticulture, and future work
will be simplitied, as result.
In the line of animal industry, two in
teresting experiments are being made.
Twenty-Five weanlinc range colts from,
Texas were bougnt last fall, and laid
down at the farm at an expense of So
per head. These are not bronchos in
any sense, but well bred animals of Per
cheron, French and German coach, aud
American trotting stock. These have
been made to rustic for living the past
winter, and had little or no grain. They
are now on grass and are looking well
In another lot were seventeen range
steers, also from Texas, well bred, Of
shorthorn, Angus and Hereford blood
which are being fed on experimental
lines for beef. These are far better bred
animals than can be picked up in Iowa
and are going "a make choice lot OF
steers. The special object of these two
experiments is to determine il stock OF
the classes referred to, can be shipped
frsm southern ranges to Iowa farms and
fed with profit.

Public Officials and Railway Passes.

We do not believe that the legislator
who makes the laws of the state, the
Judge who interprets and applies them
the sheriffs or marshals who execute
them or the revenue officials who
establish valuations and rates of
taxation should any one of them 90
business for the people with free rail
road transportation in their pockets.
We are aware that they nearly all
have such railway favors and that Gus
tom in sense makes it alright, and are
free to admit that the average man re-
CARDS such favors in no sense as bride,
but human nature is pretty much
the same the wide world over
and that man is an ungrateful dog who,
having accepted favor from another
will not in some manner and at some
time seek the opportunity to reciprocate.
And'so it comes that the railroad pass
IN the pocket of The public official to Il
certain extent letters that complete indie
pendence ard importantly with which
all public interests should be handled;
in the case of not a few beneticiaries it is
to the detriment of the railroads them
selves, these men in their effort to prov
to their constituents that railway favors
cannot Influence their action, not infre-
quently treating the interests of the roads
in an unfair manner. We would be on
safer ground for people and railroads il
the state would pay all travelling ex-
penses ard public officials be to the
roads Just as any other man.

A Fair Deal Wanted.

A man has, say, forty acres of land
worth $1,000 and owes 500. He has to
pay taxes on the land regardless Of what
ne owes. Another man has 5000 in
money but no land, and owes 800. The
law lets him deduct this Indebtedness
from his assessed valuation. This is
neither equitable nor just, but it has
been this way for years. A legislative
Kick should be made on it and this
privilege enjoyed by the man with
money should be taken away, or extend
ed to all

Farm S.nashers.

One hardly ever sees threshing ma
chine as part of the equipment of well
managed farm. Where the machine is
found, there the farm is generally down
at the heels. In our time we have known
many man comfortably fixed on farm
to get the "threshing" fever, and in
nearly every case it has been the ruin of
him. There is not much to choose be-
tween this disease and the poker and OPP

The Iowa Brand.

A horse buyer said recently that in
looking over 2J00 Iowa horses with a
view of buying them the chances
would be that one half of them would
be branded with barbed wire cuts,
rendering them unfit for market.
Barbed wire is an agricultural barbarity
and with the advent of the cheap woven
wire fence has outlived its usefulness.
Public sentiment is getting ripe for
legislation preventing its use.
