Decorah public opinion. (Decorah, Winneshiek County [Iowa]) 1895-1928, 1899-11-01
A Better System Wanted.

One Of the ivest questions in the
northwest is that OF better roads. This
subject will come up, whether or no, at
nearly every farm institute held this
winter, and but few men will be found
who will oppose remodelling of the
wretched old system whore the public
receives about one dollars worth Of
road work for each five dollars it spends.
There is no demand for bonded debt
to build expensive systems of roads, but
rather just sort of grim determination
to put the road business on sensible
business basis and secure dollars
worth of work for each dollar paid out.
This will necessarily involve the pay
ment OF the road taxes ia cash as all
other taxes are paid. A few of the
old fogies, whose highest ambition has
been to get elected as road supervisor
and mutilate the highway in the vicinity
of their respective four corners, will
probably oppose any improvement in old
methods, but the masses of the people
are ready for change. We in this
country have neither the paupers nor
the military despotism which have given
to Europe the splendid system of high
ways it possesses, and our good roads
must be built by American patriot
ism, American machinery and American
enterprise. And they win be SO built
Decorah public opinion. (Decorah, Winneshiek County [Iowa]) 1895-1928, 1899-11-01
More Motion Wanted.

The high prices for beef are increasing
the demand for mutton. The most en-
couraging feature of the sheep interest
today is the fact that the Americans are
certainly becoming a mutton eating
people. Mutton in various forms is ten
times as common on the bills of fare in
in hotels and restaurants as it was few
years ago. There is no greater delicacy
than well-broiled mutton chop and
here is how to cook them: trim off all
the fat; broil over clear bed of wood
Goals, frequently turning; while still red
in the center remove from the broiler
and place on hot plate: put generous
lump Of butter on tho chop; season with
pepper and salt and a few drops of
lemon juice or Worcestershire sauce, and
place in the oven until ready to serve
When you have once cooked mutton
chop in this style you will throw your
spider onto the dump-pile and quit eat
ing fried meat.

a Wire Fence.

Nothing save wire fence separates
two fields Of corn which we saw lately
one Of which will give IS bushels an acre
and the other not to exceed Is bushels.
That was very significant line fence,
for it marks line between two very
diverse methods Of farming. On one
side there is the dairy, flock of sheep,
some feeding cattle and plenty of clover,
the cereal and hay crops of the farm,
each year fed on the farm; on the other
side, little Of any sort of stock and the
crops all sold from the farm year after
year. One farm is clean and fertile; the
other foul and impoverished. One man
is out Of debt and is making money,
while the other has to fight big mort
gage and run store bill. The same
sunshine, the same rains, fall ON both
farms. The difference lies wholly in the
men. Both work hard, but one knows
more than the other. Which side OF
this fence is your farm on?
Decorah public opinion. (Decorah, Winneshiek County [Iowa]) 1895-1928, 1899-11-01
Condensed Milk Factories.

We wish to say this in reply to a
criticism made on an item which appear
ed in these notes not long since: a
quality Of milk from which by the sep
arator process may easily be made a
grade of butter which will pass as west
ern extra, may still be not good enough
for the purpose of converting into con-
densed milk. With the separator moth
ing is removed from the milk save the
butter fat, all impurities being elm
mated from the same. For condensed
milk all the solid matter in the milk is
used, hence, the greatest possible purity
of the milk product is indispensable.
Further it is not all a question Of purity,
for the question OF food for the COW
largely affects the quality of the milk
for this purpose. Brewers grains, and
we believe ensilage, also, are barred as
food stuffs for cows supplying the con-
densed milk factories. The superlative
quality of milk needed for this purpose
is difficult to obtain in any, community
until they, the dairymen, have been
educated up to the standard required
a standard more rigid than is needed for
the production of the finest grade of
butter. The item referred to stated
that the Waverly Iowa condensed milk
factory had been compelled to suspend
operations because milk OF sufficient
purity could not be obtained, which was
an error. AZ the suspension was brought
about by other sauses
Decorah public opinion. (Decorah, Winneshiek County [Iowa]) 1895-1928, 1899-11-01
Fake Discoveries.

We note the alleged discovery of a
kind of wheat which will produce from
fifty to sixty bushels per acre from one
peck Of seed, and of new variety of
corn which is to yield $50 bushels per
acre. We do not take any stock in
these abnormal products, even il such
yields we're possible. Nature has very
rigid system Of limitations and compen-
sations. II she gives extra quantity she
almost invariably evens it up on quality;
thus, the largest potatoes are low in
grade, heavy yielding wheat makes poor
flour; the choicest fruits are the shy
bearers, and all best things of their kind
are harder to get than are the poorer
kinds. These extraordinary varieties of
cereals il not fakes, as they most prob
ably are, would, il nature so permitted,
very soon exhaust the most fertile land
and in the long run could be Of no
possible benefit.
Decorah public opinion. (Decorah, Winneshiek County [Iowa]) 1895-1928, 1899-11-01
Rural Mail Service.

Two unexpected and very interesting
facts have developed in connection with
the experiments made by the govern
ment in the matter of rural mail delivery
lone, that where routes are established
the amount of mail matter is in short
time always doubled and often quad
rupled; the other, that the cost of the
service is no greater than that of a city
mail delivery. 200 Of these rural mai
routes are now in operation ard all prov
ing successful in the highest degree. 1t
is probable that the service will be
greatly extended. When the American
farmer has the telephone in his house
and the daily paper delivered at his
door, the charge of isolation will be nc
longer laid to life on the farm. He will
rather have the advantage of the man
in the town, in that he can enjoy degree
of exclusiveness impossible to the resi-.
dent of the city.

Should Have Help.

We know of two or three old bachelors
nice fellows in their way, living on good
shin along on the farm year after year,
eating poorly cooked food and monkey
ing around with the house-work in a
mans laundering sort of way. There
are plenty of nice, competent girls who
would marry them if they would only
muster up sand enough to ask them,
but they are MORALLY afraid of the
girls, and their case becomes more and
more hopeless year after year. There
should be some way in which to help
these nice fellows out, and we would
favor giving the board of supervisors
power to act in their behalf.
Decorah public opinion. (Decorah, Winneshiek County [Iowa]) 1895-1928, 1899-11-01
Diversified Crops.

A reader OF these notes in Humboldt
county Iowa, takes issue with us in the
statement that not more than one crop
can profitably be raised at the same time
upon the land and tells US that he raised
a crop Of potatoes, followed by crop of
corn and pumpkins, forest of weeds,
and lot Of sunfowers, while an old hen
used the cover Of the lot to steal nest
and raise brood Of sixteen chickens.
Well, this proves that Humboldt county
must have remarkable soil. most pro-
lific fowls, or most original liars. We
confess we know but little about such
variegated system II agriculture.

A Prairie Fire.

We we're much amused in reading a
story in one of the late popular maya
zines. The writer had fellow and a
girl in love, as they all do, you know,
and the girl was alone in prairie shack
when a prairie fire came up and the
fellow started for the shack on horse
and got the girl and started for town
the picture had him holding her on his
saddle pommel in what We should think
must have been very uncomfortable
place for her to ride; then the writer
states that the girls clothing caught
fire no less than four times before they
got to town. when the precious pair Of
fools might have kept out Of the fire.
prairie fire, mind you--by just turning
to the right or left and riding away from
u. That writer never saw a prairie fire

We know that this is repetition, but
as an important truth it needs to be re-
peated, viz. that blue grass pasture
cannot be kept in good shape unless the
grass at some period of its growing
season is permitted to make an un.
molested growth. II you would have
roots under ground you must permit
growth above ground. We were in a
blue grass pasture the other day which
has been permitted to grow since the
middle of June. 1t was covered by a
thick mat of grass not less than six
inches in depth and will make the finest
OF feed for stock until the snow buries
1T. Stock of all kinds is very fond Of
this partially cured blue grass and a
very valuable late fall and early spring
pasture may be secured from field so
treated.

Some men are perfectly cruel and
heartless in the matter Of working a
horse with sore shoulder. We have
seen horses with raw sore as large as
ones hand and the horse worked day
after day at heavy work, rendering it
almost impossible for the wound to heal.
This is brutal business and if the man
has not the heart to be humane to his
faithful beast, the law should make him
