60 bushels to the acre, and nothing
less, should satisfy the enterprising

There is not today very much if any
difference in the profit to be made on
the. 2-year-old steer or the 2-year-old
colt assuming that both are well bred.
The risk is less with the steer, and
with our present barbarous method
of fencing this is an important item.

The very best conditions for the
growth and development Of all or
chard and deciduous trees are to- Sc
cure for the roots Of such trees as large
an amount of moisture and GOODNESS as
possible. Forest trees grow under a
perpetual mulch furnished by the
trees themselves. There is a practical
suggestion here for all tree growers.

INJURY to fruit trees is almost always
confined to the. south side of the tree in
all this northwestern territory. The
action Of the sun and Of the hot south
west winds is mostly responsible for
such injuries, and the fact suggests
VERY plainly the wisdom of affording
the trees a grove protection on the
south.

THE aUTroN INDUSTRY.

THE BUTTON INDUSTRY.
The Action or the Board OF Control Not
Likely 20 Affect tho Factories.
Des Moines, Nov. Eff that pearl
button incident had come at any other
time than the week before election, it
would have excited little attention, and
as it is, no great fuss need be made
over il, for the warden and the board
of control are but following the set
tied policy Of the state in letting the
labor OF the sconvicts to the best prac-
teal advantage. They are hiring out
the labor Of fifty convicts. at IS cents
per day for five years to do the rough
part of the work of making pearl but-
tons. The contractor furnishes all the
machinery, tools, ETC., and the state
the labor and building to work in.
These conyicts are now idle---a year
ago last summer there were about sew
enty-fye men in what was called "the
idle room," a place where they had
nothing to do because the contracts for
labor. did not call for men enough to
employ aNgthe' convicts. The Board
resolved Ito find mething for these
men to do as soon as possible to make
them iself-supportfng to some extent
and ito give the rnen chance for i'm.
provefnent!s "a convict kept in idleness
becomes desperate. e s''77'. e. 49,
The fifty men doing rough work in
the button industry cannot affect it
enough to be noticed by any
person now engaged or employed in
that industry. 1t is such small mat
ter as to be hardly worth a thought by
the most interested person. But it is
the principle Of the thing that some
object to, while the republican leaders
are fearful lest 1t will, not be UNDER
stood before election and will lose the
party votes under a misunderstanding
and gross exaggeratioh of what the
board OF control and the warden have
DONE Chairman Weaver, of the repub-
lican state committee, was not special
ly pleased with the attitude of the
board, and in response to numerous
kilograms and letters from points
along the mississippi river, he tele-
graphetd that the = republican, party
w6nldo not endorse any action tending
to iHjure a state industry. He did this
after ieonSultation with prominent res
pubIicans;S who! advised him to 4 say
