A Cheap Fish Supply.

Fourteen cars of young fish-blacs
bass, pike, croppies and sunfish-have
been placed in the interior rivers and
lakes of Iowa the past season. Up to
within few years it was supposed that
the only way in which to secure a large
supply of young fish was to hatch the
eggs in an artificial manner and care for
the little fsh until they were able to care
for themsl es. 1t later developed that
all the bayous bordering on the Missis-
sippi river were vast natural Matching
waters; that by seinipg these bayous in
the fall of the year, an almost unlimited
supply choice young game fish could
be sec ed at nominal expense and
thence transported to inland waters
This plan of stocking depleted lakes and
rivers has now entirely superseded the
old method and should have the hearty
support of the legislature in financial
way to thus provide an abundant sup
ply of fish food for the PEOPLE. While
the legislature should do this, it should
also provide additional ways and means
for the apprehension and punishment of
of all violators of the fish and game
laws.

Bssts Must Be Stored.

One fact was brought out at the sugar
meeting, at Clear Lake in connection
with the growing of the sugar beet
which should not be lost sight Of and
that is, that the man who grows the
beets will be required to build cellars
for storing them so that they may be
delivered at the factory from time to time
during the wor king season as the fac
tory can use them. In other words the
beet grower will not be able to deliver
his crop when harvested and be rid oft,
but will have to await the pleasure and
convenience of the factory as to the time
of delivery. The usual working season
of the factory is about four months, and
it will DO readily seen that it would
where the daily consumption Of beet'
was 4OU tons, be impossible for 1t to car
for the entire product of three or fouI
thousand acres ct the time the crop Wa
harvested.

Oleo Not Poisonous.

A friend asked US in all seriousness
the other day whether oleomargarine
was poisonous. In no sense is it really
harmful as food product. The fatty
elements of which it is composed are
precisely the same as those which con-
stitute butter. The oleo is made from
the fat which the steer has put on his
carcass internally and the butter from
the same fat which the COW has put into
her milk. The fight on o!eomargarine is
not made against it as an unhealthful
food product, but because, in order to
dispose of it, it has to mask under the
guise of pure butter and SO becomes a
fraud on the purchaser. AS it can be
produced for one-half the cost of butter,
it is very easy to see how great tho
damage it may do and is doing to the
legitimate dairy interest che country
Not dairy in the 1850 will offer any
protest against - ng manufact-
ured, provided :. - AZ Just what it
is.

The Snow Blanket.

The fairy flakes came sitting out of a
leaden sky, silently as the wing of the
owl fans the midnight gloom, and falling
on tender shrub and plant wrapped
them in garment Of soft, white wool,
just as an infant is cared for by its
mother. And then the north wind
picked up more and still more of the flu
gitive crystals and drifting them through
the fences and around the trees, piled
them up into concentric drifts, making
for the tender things below an impreg-
nable protection against the worst old
Boreas could do. Snow is just as much
a complement OF winter as is the sun
shine of the summer-natnre's generou
wholesome protector. A snowless winter
is more destructive than rainless sum-
mer.

Beet Sugar.

Three fourths of all the sugar con.
sumed in this country is made from
beets and the bulk of this beet sugar is
made on the high priced lands of Europe,
the high rental value of the land being to
some extent offset by the cheap labor
available. There are about twenty
seven beet sugar factories in operation
in this country now, and quite large
number under process of construction.
We are asked whether the northwest is
likely to take up the industry. This is
not an easy question to answer. The
business, is rapidly developing in Utah
California andNebraska because of excep.
tional climatic conditions of those states;
a number of factories are being operated
in Michigan, fostered by state bounty;
Illinois and Wisconsin are each operat-
ing factory or two and New York state
is taking the business up: Minnesota
has one factory and Iowa so far has done
nothing but talk. There is not the least
doubt that beets of excellent quality can
be raised in almost unlimited quantities
in both Minnesota and Iowa, but we
hardly look to see the business OF beet
growing taken up in a general way by
Iowa and Minnesota farmers. The aver
age farmer of these states had rather
make fifty dollars off from five acres Of
ground than from one acre, and ride on
his sulky cultivator to work five acres OF
corn than to get down on all tours to
weed and thin out one acre of beets. In
communities where there is a large for
eign population and plenty of boys, girls
and women willing to work in the field,
beet growing will get foothold, but
where help is scarce and high priced,
the farms large and the work largely
done by the use of improved machinery,
it will be difficult to get the farmer to
take hold of it. We may be in error, but
we cannot ignore the fact OF the almost
unlimited sugar, producing capacity OF
the tropical territory recently acquired
by the United States-a capacity sup
plemented by the cheapest labor in the
world. Natural and economic law will,
il unfettered, invariably being about the
production of any crop where it may be
raised in the greatest perfection and al
the least expense, and logically, the sugar
consumed by America will be produced
| in these islands of the sea. A pound
OF raw cane sugar can be produced IN
these islands for just about one-hal
the cost OF the pound OF beet sugar pro
duced in the states and when the time
comes, the consumer here will have I
protest to offer against the beet sugal
fixing tho price which he shall pay To-
bis supply Of sugar.

We had the pleasure of seeing in the
garden of Prof. Budd at Ames, Ia. last
week, plum tree of splendid hardness
and vigor, which is direct cross be-
tween the De Soto native plum and one
of the Japanese varieties. This inter
esting hybrid, in wood, growth and habit
follows the De Soto, while the leaves and
fruit partake ofthe Japanese type. The
tree is seven years old and last year was
loaded with crop of magnificent plums,
equal in size to the Lombard. This n.y.
brid is oneof the most interesting results
of the various experimentsin hybridizing
ever carried on at Ames college.

An effort will be made in the Iowa
legislature this winter to pass law
providing for the quarterly payment OF
taxes. AS the law now is, taxes can be
paid semi-annually. We do not believe
that the proposed change is desirable
one, as there are but few persons who
cannot pay their taxes in the two in
stallments as now provided. The pro.
posed plan would vastly increase the
labors of the county treasurers and still
further complicate the business of pay
ing taxes for the taxpayer. The law is
well enough as it is.

1t is gratifying to know that the bar
barous plan of compelling stock on the
western ranges to shift for themselves in
the winter, no matter how inclement the
weather might be, is largely being aban-
doned by the range cattle men. Provis
ion is now largely made both for shelter
and food for the stock during the worst
storms of the winter. This method is
not only more humane, but far more
profitable to the owner.

Western highways are susceptible OF

SO far as the roadway itself is concerned
but also as to using and identifying Of
all the unused portion. In many parts

lied on the travelled portions, but the
roadsides are utilized to the fullest ex-
tent for the growing OF fruit trees. Here
we have not yet got out of the weed
