The chief editorial topic in the Ameri-

Boer sides of the quarrel respectively.
The subject is also treated in the depart
mont of Current History in Caricature,"
and Mr.. Stead contributes a character
sketch of 1.-THE man of the month" in South
Africa-Cecil Rhodes. Cecil Rhodes, the
man who has done more than any other
Englishman to give the nglish-speaklng
race foothold in South Africa, and hence
is indirectly, If not directly, responsible
for the differences between the British
government and President Kruger that
have eliminated in war is the subject
of an elaborate character sketch by Mr.
W. T. Stead in the American Monthly Re-
view Of Reviews for November Mr.. Stead

Worked Them Out.

This man got bothered this wayne
took lot of early pullets, gave them a
good place, good care and good feed, and
sold slather of high priced eggs the
first winter, the hens laying all winter
and we'll into the summer. He tried the
same thing the next winter with the
same lot of hens and got hardly an egg.
At farmers institute he stated his
case and wanted to know what the trou-
BILE was? The writer asked him if he
used the same lot of hens? Stating that
he did, we told him that he had worked
that lot of hens out the first winter, and
should have had fresh lot. A hen will
only lay so many eggs, anyhow, and if by
forcing you get them all the first year,
you want to make pot pie of her when
she gets through. A hen should never
be kept until she is grandmother.

The Way 1t Goes.

The cholera struck large herd of
hogs belonging to well fixed farmer.
He went out in the morning and found
two dead. He knew at once what was
the matter, for he had been there before.
He stopped all other farm work at once
and commenced shipping hogs to the
Chica. market, for once in his life. at
least, Indifferent to the market quota
tons on hogs. Eight more laid down,
and thereby secured rural burial or
cremation, before he got his yards cleaned
out. Fifteen more died on the way to
Chicago, others in the stock yards be
fore they were finally marched to tle
slaughter house. Those which lived 20
die in an orthodox way were converted
into delicate hams, breakfast bacon. side
meats and and sausage to tickle the
apretites of fastidious and epicurean
public. God bless the Jews, who have
horse sense at least, if short on piety.

Some State Farming.

Attached to nearly all our state in
stitutions are farms, in some cases quite
large ones. Upon these farms in the
past there has been some queer farming
done. While the professional men
managers, doctors and the like-employ-
ed were paid big salaries from $1,000
to $4,000 year and the florist $1,000 a
year, the man employed to run the big
farm was given $50 a month and any
old plug taken at that, and so it came
about that the tame hay was cut in
August when the seed had ripened and
shed, and potatoes and corn were bought
by the car load which should have been
raised on the farm, for wretched mis-
management and failure the states at
tempts at agriculture easily distancing
the worst types Of individual effort the
state could produce. There is going to
be a change on these farms hereafter.
There is one man on the Board of Con-
troll who knows how to run a farm and
he's after these fellows. There's whole
lot of fellows working ON these farms
who will get acquainted, whether they
want to or not, with big tall man with
black moustache and foreign accent
and they already fear him as they dc
the devil.

The Northwestern Creenlng.

To men interested in the planting of
commercial orchards in north Iowa the
special need at the present time is a
standard, hardy variety of saleable winter
apple. The summer and fall seasons are
amply provided for by number of ex-
cellent varieties, but what shall be the
one for winter fruit?
We this week were shown lot of
Northwestern Greetings, which are
worth calling attention to. They are a
large, smooth, attractive fruit, handsom-
er and more perfectly shaped than the
old Rhode Island Greening, are evident
ly a winter fruit, being on the last of
January, hard, sound, and in perfect con-
dition, given ordinary cellar care. In
flavor they are one hundred per cent
better than the Ben Davis, and while
not the equal in this respect of the Spy,
R. l. Greening or Baldwin, are an apple
which will find ready sale among the
masses just as the Ben Davis does
among the asses.
This apple has much to commend it
in general vigor and habit of growth in
tree, in freedom from blight, in matur-
ing its wood, in holding its fruit, in early
maturity and fruiting. But one thing
remains to be settled, and that is it's
hardness. A question of supreme in
terest just now, is, Twill the Northwest
ern Greening stand test winter?" If
this can be settled IN the affirmative. we
can name the standard winter apple for
this latitude, the planting and proper
care of which will make fortunes for the
men who plant it.

The More the Better.

A common remark is that so many big
orchards are being planted that there
will be no demand for the fruit. There
could not be a more erroneous conclu-
sion drawn. The more apples there are
raised contiguous to given shipping
point, the easier it will be to get buyers.
Illustrating this-last fall a foreign buy
er wanted carload of Wealthys at a
certain point in north Iowa, and would
have paid Sl.5O per barrel for them. AS
he could not get a car load lot, he
bought none, and what were raised for
sale were disposed of at less than s1.0O
barrel to home dealers. See the pointp
If your neighbor plants an,orchard, you
plant one also; you help him and he
helps you.

Shall Our Women and Girls
Milk the Cows?

With malice aforethought, and still
with sincere desire to settle some
what debatable question, the writer Of
these notes injected the foregoing query
into discussion on the dairy interests
at the Cerro Gordo County Farmers In
stitute last week. The question was at
once taken up and led up to one of the
most interesting debates of the session.
1t transpired that Foreigners, OF what
ever nationality, had no scruples in not
only permitting, but requiring the help
of their wives and daughters in the
milking of the cows; it was also proven
that in most of the really successful
farm diaries, women took an active part
in the milking and care of the dairy; it
also cropped out that there was lot
Of American born dairymen present,
who thought it was not the proper thing
to require the wife and daughters to
milk the cows and that they would quit
keeping cows before they would consent
to have their women folks burdened with
such mental labor. There were lot of
side remarks by this one and that one
some to the effect that most women had
enough to do in the farm home without
milking cows twice day; others to the
effect that girl had much better be
taught to milk the cows than play the
organ and do fancy tatting; and while
it was not absolutely SO put, it was
evident that there was quite feeling
that woman could not possibly maintain
her social standing and be mixer of
COWS and feeder of calves. At this
point in the debate, which by this time
aad become intensely interesting, a
lady arose to speak. She wore hand
