Eusilaea.Fad Cows

Those who raise ensilage-fed herds
invariably have q decided advantage
over the farmer who confines his atten.
tion entirely to dry fodder and grain.
But on the other hand, there are farm
ers who do not make the ensilage sue
cess because of lack of proper study of
economy in feeding or generally poor
management of the whole dairy farm.
The comparison of such man with q
first.class dairyman who believed in dry
fodder and grain is not fair. There are
plenty of good farmers to-day making
success with herds that are fed en-
tirely on dry fodder, cornmeal, bran
and similar grains. They are too con-
servative to take up the silo, or they are
willing to let we'll enough alone. But
because they make a success in their
present work il does not follow that
they would not make even more profits
by adopting the silo. Let such pro-
gressive farmers give the silo all the
care and attention they give to their
present system of feeding, and if they
fail they might be justitiedin casting
discredit upon the silo.
1t is practical to raise all the ensilage
needed for feeding dairy herd of al

Condemned Thirty Cows.

Assistant State Veterinarians j. w.
Scott, of Manchester, and Hayzlett, of
Oelwein, spent Wednesday and Thurs
day at the farm of H. L. Boise, near
QuasQueton, testing his herd Of dairy
cows for tuberculosis. Mr.. Boies had
fine dairy herd of forty COWS. How the
report reached the state officers that
they were diseased does not appear.
The test was made in the presence Of
DR.. G. A. Scott, of this city, who was
there to represent MIR. Boise. After
two days engaged in making the scien-
titic test, thirty of the cows were con-
demned as infected with tuberculosis
and were ordered strictly quarantined
until destroyed. We understand that
Mr.. Boise will contest the order for
their destruction in the courts, and pro-
poses to test the law. Under the law,
the only compensation he gets is the
actual value of the stock in it's diseased
condition when condemned, such value
to be fixed by the veterinarian anu the
nearest justice, with right of appeal to
district court when amount exceeds
twenty-five dollars. Should the order
for destruction be carried out, the loss
to Mr.. Boise could be scarcely less than
$1,000, sum worth fighting for

Collis p. Huntington has written
letter explaining his recent speech at
San Francisco wherein he said that the
youth of the country were being over
educated. Mr.. Huntington says that
education is not harmful in itself, but
the generality of young men spend too
many of perhaps the most valuable
years of their life in the schoolroom.
The mass of boys, he declares, by carry
ing their education beyond the point
required to enable them to cope with
the practical details of business, gain a
positive distaste for labor that does not
come under the head "genteel, "and as
result young men are crowding into
poorly paid places, where they do not
have to soil their hands or do manual
labor and good chances for promotion
go begging in many cases. This condi-
tion of things, he says, is curious and
must be explained before the present
system Of educating young men in this
country can be called successful.

most any size, and then if the silo is
properly filled the results will be more
than satisfactory. We are certainly
coming to the time when every dairy
farm of 20 or more cows will have it's
silo, and it will be an exception to the
rule not to find one on the farm. 1t is
on par with our present systems of
cold storage for preserving food in the
cities for the human race. We find
that this not only adds to the pleasure
of eating, but it improves the health of
the nation to have green things right
through the winter and summer
months. We should in the same way
consider the COWS on whose health and
good flow of milk so many of us are de-
pendent. Winter dairying can never
be carried on as it should until the silo
is built and filled. Now is the time to
consider and prepare for next winter if
the herd is expected to give the results
desired. There is no easier way to in
crease the winter supply of milk than
to have and feed plenty of ensilage.-

Rainy Sunday Mt Church, Where He
Was the Only Sinner.
DIR. Payson, the famous and beloved
preacher of Portland, Me-. used to tell
the following pointed story:
One very stormy Sunday he went to
church, more from habit than because
he expected to find anybody there. Just
after he had stepped inside the door an
old negro came in and asked il DIR.
Payson was to preach there that day,
explaining that he was a stranger in
town and had been advised to go to his
church.

Nobody else did come, SO the doctor
preached to the choir and the old negro.

stormy Sunday.

man. II 'clar, doctor, nebber heerd q

One Way of Posting a Letter.

The island of st. Kilda is often visit
ed by tourist steamers in the summer,
but its regular mail communication
with the mainland, some l50 miles dis
tant, is confined to the annual visits Of
the steamer which brings the factor and
his stores, says Household Words. But
if at other times the inhabitants desire
to communicate with Great Britain they
employ the following curious device: A
man cuts the rough model Of boat
from billet of f-wood, hollows it partly
out, places in the hollow q tin or small
bottle containing letter, nails on a
deck, and when the wind is blowing to-
ward the mainland launches the tiny
craft, having first connected it with a
bladder, which drives along before the
wind and acts as a tug to the little mail
boat. But the set of the gulf stream fire.
quently drives this curious craft out Of
its course, and as often as not it reaches
the Shetland islands or the coast of Nor
way, where, however, the letter is pref
ty sure to be found and posted to its
destination.

Plutocrat,c Platform.

From the Dubuque Telegraph.]
The platform adopted by the Iowa
republican state convention is q declara-
tion of hostility to the principles upon
which the American republic is found
ed. 1t approves the war against the
Filipinos, thus repudiating the sffirma-
tion of the Declaration of Independence
that governments derive their just
powers from the consent of the govern
ed," and sets the seal of republican
party sanction on an imperial colonial
policy which whether designed or not
designed, must result in entangling
foreign alliances and probable foreign
wars, the development of mighty
navy and the maintenance of large
standing army, increased tax burdens
upon American citizens, the ascendency
and sway of militarism, the rise and
rule of an aristocracy based upon
wealth, and the degradation of the mas
ses to the level occupied by the COM
mon people of the bayonet- dominated
and bayonet-cursed nation of Europe.
1t affirms the brazen falsehood that
"the monetary standard of this country
and of the commercial world is gold,"
and declares for private and against
government control of the volume of
money and incidentally of the value of
property, by proclaming that the per-
manence of the gold standard "must be
assured by congressional legislation,
giving to it. the validity and vitality
of public law" And to force the
government to sell bonds interminably
for gold with which to make redemp.
tions, to add billions to the public in
terest- bearing debt that banks may
have basis for note issues and specu
lators chance to skin the people
it dogmatically asserts that "all othel
money must be kept at parity witt
gold" Parity, as used, means that the
laws and contract must be so changed
as to make the $346l ,oOOO of green
backs, the $97,0o0,C0O of Sherman
treasury notes, the $262,Oco 900 of banl
notes and the 100000, 600 silver dollarl
redeemable in gold, change which, in
the end, would mean colossal fortunes
for the few and ruin and deep distress
for the many.

AN EGYPTIAN PUZZLE.


How Thieves Are Detected by the
Use of Uncanny Charms.
The most curious and complicated
charms are those used In the recovery
Of stolen property and the detection Of
thieves. Strange to say, the Egyptian
practice Of seeing figures shifting over
the ink poured into q boys hand is,
with certain minor differences, known
In Sindh. The Vinyane Waro, or finder
of lost goods rubs some dark substance
over the thumbnails Of youth not ar
rived at the age of puberty, or directs
him to look at black spot painted on
the bottom Of bright brass pot
The soothsayer during this period re-
Mites the azimah (charm) three differ
ent times, after which the seeing COM
mences. The boy first secs bhaugi, or
sweeper, appear in the ink and clean
the floor, after which farash (tent pitch.
ers) approach and prepare pavilion.
They are followed by train of serv-
ants, who spread carpets and erect
kind of throne for the king of the Jim,
who presently appears in state. accom-
panied by his suit.

pears, to advance as complainant, and
the monarch sends his chobdais (mace
bearer) for the thief. The latter being
acknowledgement into the presence, is
bastinadSed till he shows the spot
where the goods are concealed, and is
then dismissed. When the charm is
concluded, the boy accurately describes
the person of the guilty man and the
place where he deposited his plunder.

incautation is mott diabolioal one, as it
is only to be mastered by the 40 days.

the operation, but have heard of it suffi-
GENTLY often to be assured that my in
formants were not deceiying me. More
over, traces of it are to be found in
southern Persia and other parts of the

in India, that poisonous source of three
parts of the superstitions which have
inundated Europe and Asia and travelled
westward to Egypt and the Maghrib.
AS support to my conjecture, it may
be mentioned that in Sindh it is prac-
ticed by some Hindoos as we'll as Mos

If the republicans think they can do
nothing by legislation or by enforce
ment of present laws to curb the power
of the trusts, very we'll. Then let them
turn over the government to party
which does have some hope of accom-
plishing something by such means.
Something has got to be done, that is
sure. The laissez-faire policy will
never do for such problem as this

Cows Fa,l to STAND Test.

For the past ten days State Veterin-
ary Gibson has been conducting dairy
tests at Ft. Dodge to find tuberculosis.
Several herds have been examined and
in each case the presence of the disease
has been discovered. The last and most
important test was made when the herd
of the Oak Lawn dairy was examined.
There are thirty-eight cows in this herd
and the tests revealed the fact that
eleven of them answered to the test,
showing the presence of the disease.
Further tests will be made.

l wish that I'd been grandpas child
That could had the joy
OF fishing In those good old days
When father was boy.
For then the fish grew bigger far
Than they do nowadays
And literally packed the streams
At least, so father says.
They never caught sucker then
That didn't weigh ton,
Aud pickerel were longer than
A modern Armstrong gun.
They used to yank out halibut
In hundreds from our bays,
And shad ran up the banks to bite
At least, SO father says.
They never thought of using bait
To lure the willy trout,
They reached a bushel basket down
Aud simply dipped them out.
And in about an hour or two
They'd fill up several drayS,
And SOW them through the neighbOrho0d-
At least, so father says.
In short, they caught so many fish,
That fore their sport was through
The stream where they were fishing would
Go down a yard or two.
And not an angler failed to come
