Dairy Blood at Fair Prices.

Again we call attention to the fact
that good dairy bred cattle can be had
at quite reasonable prices. In fact we
believe that this is a good time for
those who need this kind of stock to
invest in it. 1t is not hunting buyers
at scrub prices, but as compared with
the way other classes of pure bred
stock are selling it looks cheap. There
will sooner or later be reaction, from
the craze for beef that has invaded
even the dairy districts, and with the
dairy industry promising q healthy
condition pure bred dairy cattle will
be in better demand than now. The
time to get good blood cheap is when
it can be had. Those who let pass bar
gains in trotting bred mares, beef cat
tie and sheep few years ago are pay
ing much better prices for the same
stock now, and they might have been
sellers now instead of buyers had they
invested at the lower prices then.-Na-
tional Stockman.

Persistent Milking Wins,

Last season, when the price for calves
went skyward, many farmers who had
patronized the creamery and raised the
calves on skimmilk thought they could
see more money and less bother in let.
ting the calves suck the COWS. The in
dications are that this year calves will
not be worth as much money, and as
the cattle stock of the country increases
to the normal. calves will further de-
crease in value. Those farmers who
stopped milking and turned in the
calves will then see the mistake they
made. They will find that their COWS
are not nearly as good mixers as they
were before, and it will take them sew.
eral years to build up an efficient dairy
herd again.
If there is any one thing about dairy
ing that has been thoroughly and com
pletely demonstrated, it is that milk
ing makes mixers. The best COW in
the world can be ruined as mixer in
comparatively short time by simply
letting the calf suck her or by care
lessness in milking. The poorest COW
can be improved by continued and per.
sistent milking. The man who has 1C
or l2 or more COWS and milks them
year in and year out, keeps right at II
and practices improved methods OF
feeding will get ahead right along. II

cornstalks as Fodder.

An objection is raised by some to the
utilization OF cornstalks as fodder, be-
cause, it is claimed, these stalks are
needed to maintain the fertility of the
soil by blowing them under. The dry
stalk plowed under does very little for
the soil, save to increase the supply Of
humus, and in this way serves q very
good purpose on stiff clay soils. Aside
from this, they are worth but little as
a fertilizer and can be far more profit
ably used as fodder; to be returned to
the soil later on as barnyard manure.
Further, the rotation of the cornfield
with the clover field is every way better
as means of keeping up soil fertility
than plowing under the dry corn stalks.

He held that this year would be the
turning point In the history of the Peo-
pies party. Fusion, he said, had been
officially killed by the Democrats of
Iowa in the last convention. The
issues of the campaign as outlined by
Weeks and incorporated in the plat
form are antitrust. bimetallism, in
dustrial freedom, anti-imperialism and
direct legislation. Weeks said: THE
state conventions of both the Republic
an and Democratic parties of Iowa have
denounced aggregations of capital, but
neither party has proposed an adequate
remedy. We declare the remedy for the
trust evil to be public ownership of

Samples of cement used at Ephesus
and Smyrna several centuries before
Christ have been snslyzed and found to
be composed of carbonate of lime and
mixture of fatty acids. In trying to
initiate 1t experiments were made with
a cement consisting of burned lime and
olive or linseed oil, but it was found
not to be permanent. Then a mixture
of two thirds sir-slaked lime and one
third olive oil was tried and hardened
readily and seemed to possess great en-
durance-which led to the belief that
this was substantially the compositions
of the ancient cements.

Profits in Sheep,

English farmers keep sheep profit
ably on land which is worth from $500
to $500 per acre. They are kept not
for their wool, but for their value as
farm fertilizers and for the high priced
mutton which they produce. 1t is an
established fact that a pound of mutton
can be produced on western farm for
as little first cost as pound of beef or
pork. In selling value the mutton
holds its own with either. If we add
to this fact the wool crop which, even
at low price, will pay for the food
eaten by the sheep, and the value of
the sheep as farm fertilizer and util-
izer of otherwise waste products, it
proves beyond doubt that flock of
sheep, say rs ewes on quarter section
farm, is one of the most profitable in
vestments which can be made. We
know there is the dog and the wolf and
the lack of proper fencing with SO
many, hut by yarding at night near the
house the first may be avoided, and q
flock of the size named will justify the
employment of a boy for herder dur.
ing part of the year when it is desir-
able to give the flock the range of fields
outside regular pasture. All the
territory north of AZ degrees, lying in
the northwest, is especially adapted to
the sheep.

Apretty story is told of Captain Frey
staetter, Judge of the Dreyfus trial of
1884, who last week appeared at Rennes
and told the conrt that he now thinks
Dreyfus innocent. Eight years ago Frey.
staetter was q lieutenant in the Ton
quin army and led his men to the sue
cessful attack of the Tusyquem forts
although three fourths of them were
hacked to pieces. The plot made the
young soldier one of the heroes of the
hour, and his picture appeared in the
Paris illustrated papers. 1t was seen
by daughter of the great Manuel
family. She sent her photograph with
few lines written on it. In four years
the young officer was back in Paris and
boldly stated his mission. Pere had no
liking that his daughter should marry
an officer In the colonial service, and
withheld his consent. Freystaetter
was one of the Dreyfus judges in 1894
and soon sfterward was sent to serve
in Madagascar. News came that he
was wounded and Mile. Manuel
promptly tainted. Papa's heart was
softened and last summer when the Off
Ger came back to Paris there was 9
wedding. In the meantime, Freystaet.
ter, after the suicide of Henry, became
convinced that he had been an unwit-
ting victim of the general staff in blast
ing the reputation of an innocent man
The thing was on his conscience and he
announced his intention to testify be
fore the court of cessation. The mill
tary machine brought pressure to bear
even invoking the aid of his wife. She
was told that he would ruin his pros
poets by speaking against the army
chiefs. Worthy of a hero's wife she
responded: "Better lower rank and
unsullied d honor" And it SO happene
the other day at Rennes that when the
captain had finished his testimony
looking every inch the man as he deliv
cred it, he passed down among the OIL
GERS assembled and not one extende,
his hand. Ostracism had fallen upo
him.

1t may well startle the advocates of
an imperialistic policy to learn from
the annual report Of the pension com
missioner that there are now on the
pension list no less than 991,515 names.
Ifnearly forty years after the begin.
ming Of the great war between the states
nearly 100000 men are drawing an
nuslly over s140O 600 600 from the treas
ury, what must be the final burden to
the American taxpayer if President Nc
Ktnley's plan of conquest is carried out
to its logical conclusion?
Truly, imperialism is an expensive
proposition. Can the people look with
unanimity on plan which carries
with 1t the possibilities of an enormous
increase of this burden of taxation to
meet the tremendous expense entailed
by pensions?
From statistics furnished by the pen
sion bureau, it is learned that since 1866.
when the pension list began to assume
considerable proportions, $2,370,O00,O0O
have been expended in paying pensions.
This is an amount not far from equal
to the expenditures of the genera gov
eminent from its organization down to
1850. The pension outlay from 1866 al
most equals the highest notch that the
p ublic debt attained after the close of
the civil war. The debt reached its
maximum August l, 1865, at So, ,756, 600
900. The pension expenditures since
1866 have been s2,37O,OOO. The human
mind is incapable of realizing the mag.
nitude of these money values. The
pension outlay was double the gross
earnings of all the 1872, 900 miles of rail
way In the United States during the
fiscal year 1898.
Truly In calculating the cost of i'm
perialism the minor expense of thu
present is not the only item worthy o.
consideration. Chicago Democrat.
