pEpRAvEp AppEr1rEs

Animals, like men, frequently are
the victims of depraved appetites.
Postmortem examinations of animals
which die of no known disease fire.
quently show that mass of foreign
and wholly indigestible matter has ac-
cumulated in their stomachs. We once
lost valuable mare whose stomach
contained over three pounds Of barbed
Wire, nails and similar trash. A reader
writes us from Pennsylvania of ex-
tracing q solid ball of compressed hair
from the stomach of pig. We are
asked why animals eat these things. It
is probable that the cause will be
found In the fact of the domestication
Of the animal, under which condition
1t is not left free to select its food by
Instinct and is thus deprived of GER
tain food elements essential to it's
health. We doubt if wild animals are
ever thus affected. s.,s. ii. \;

Yeomen viii Meet.

Yeomen, a fraternity insurance order
of marvellous growth and with its head
office in the Manhattan building in
Des Moines, will hold it's first annual
convention in Des Moines, November
~, Ia, IA and Is.

in Des Moines this year and, from the
fact that the session will occupy four
days it is expected most of the dele
gates will be in the city for the great
er part of the week. The accredited
delegate representation will be a lit
tie over 1,100. and there is little doubt
but every delegation will be represent
ed in full, either by delegates or alter
mates. In addition to the delegates a
number of organizers of the order and
a great many members from nearby

LAND HUNGER.

The American people are always
hungry for gold, and any reported new
discovery Of the precious metal will
start stampede for the place inside CT
forty-eight hours. Then sometimes
they become land hungry, and the
eagerness to secure farms and homes
is almost equal to that displayed by
the gold seekers. The present is one of
the times when the people are land
hungry, evidenced by the scramble to
secure homes in the lately opened In
dian observations and the tremendous
rush to the northwest country, where
cheap farms are still to be had. There
are several reasons for this epidemic
Of land hunger-one, the plentifulness
of money and the low rate of interest;
another. the constantly improving and
cheapencd methods OF Transportation
which anniiilatc distance and give
great value to farm lands in hitherto
remote and inaccessible locations; an.
other is the depleted fertility Of much
of the agricultural lands of the eastern
states, and still another reason may be
found in the constantly growing scar
city of desirable farm lands in any
section Of the country coupled with q
steady increase of population which
seeks q place to live and make home

A VALUABLE FARM MACHINE.

Ten years ago all the corn which
was cut and shocked had to be done
by hand labor, and the doing Of 1t be-
came as near hard work as anything
to be found on the farm. It was al
ways difficult to get the help to do
this work, and when done the corn
was left in such shape that it was an
all round nuisance to handle. Now
the corn harvester is available, cutting
up and tying in handy bundles from
eight to ten acres of corn per day and
enabling any grower of corn to secure
his rough forage from his cornfield in
stead Of from meadow lands. The
general adoption Of this plan will add
% per cent to the acreage of any corn
and stock raising farm in the country.
Thousands of these machines have
been sold in every western state in
the past few weeks. sss.ss,

ABOUT SUGAR.

The United States used 100000 tons
OF sugar the past year. One million
tons Of this was produced on American
territory-Louisiana 5000 tons, north
ern beet sugar 10000 tons, Hawaii
100000 tons, Porto Rico 100000 tons
this million tons paying no duty, while
100000 tons We're imported, upon
which the duty was $46,SOO,OOO. The
protest which the consumer has in this
matter is that the 100000 tons pay
Ing no duty was held and sold by the
sugar trust at price based upon what
1t cost to import foreign sugar and pay
the duty on it. When this country gets
to producing 100000 tons instead of
100000, this order of things will be
reversed or there will be howl from
one end of the country to the other. -.

Des Moines. Oct 5.-The Hossack

which Mrs. Hossack is under sentence

laid over for another term, Mrs Hos

BALEp CORN FODDER.

Baled shredded corn fodder should
come to the front this year with hay
as scarce and high priced as it is all
over the country. 1t is a most valuable
forage for dairy cows and work horses,
in point of nutritive value equal to the
best timothy hay. One hundred tons
of this fodder Vas sold lately in west
ern town at $40 per ton. There is but
one drawback to it's general introduce
ton, and that is the need of doing the
shredding and baling when the forage
is thoroughly dry; otherwise it will
mold in the bale. rs,

be public sessions has not been fully
determined, but the probabilities are
that the opening sea Jon will be pub
lie and in the nature of q welcome to
the city of the visiting delegates. A
social session for the entertainment
of visiting delegates is also planned.
Inasmuch as Des Moines is the head
quarters for this order, which is now
represented in about twenty states
and is growing with a rapidity that
promises to eclipse the Woodmen and
some of the older fraternals in the
next half dozen years, is assurance
that in the future Des Moines can be
counted on to entertain this conven-

face to face with starvation, it broods
over central Russia and paralysis the
efforts Of millions, it girdles Australia
and makes desert of once fruitful
farms, and here in the great MISSISSIPPI
pi valley no lesson has been more
sharply defined the past season than
that Of learning how best to conserve
moisture in the soil. The early and the
later rains may fall, full or scant, as
the case may be, and the wise farmer
will learn how by deep tillage and con-
slant cultivation to raise good crops
even with minimum of rainfall. No
subject is of greater importance than
this.
