with, despite his youth, he was made
the editor of the first vegetarian mag
azine. He was well educated man,
the descendant of line of Episcopal
clergymen that dates back to 1000, and
the volumes of the magazine that
came out under his direction are still
regarded by vegetarian editors as
models. He came to New York in
1852, became head of the Bible Chris
tian Church Of Philadelphia in 1876,
and since that time he has devoted his
life to vegetarianism Che is the presi-
dent of the Vegetarian Society of
America), and to his church. He has
at his fingers ends all manner of facts
and deductions and statistics, and he
proves conclusively with these that
vegetarianism is UNNECESSARILY cheap
er, healthier and pleasanter than meat
eating.
The Bible Christians claim that man
was designed to be fruit eater and
nothing else and that he has artific-
tally become an omnivorous animal.
1t is an amusing and significant fact
that the only typical omnivorous ami
NAL is the pig.
A good example of the effect of veg
etarianism on mankind is afforded by
the Bible Christians with their century
of abstinence from meat. Their rec
ords which cover about 800 cases, show
that Bible Christians average long
evity is 81 years; he is not, in his old
age, obliged to resort to false teeth;
his eyes, in seven cases out of ten,
do not require spectacles; his weight
keeps close to the normal, or proper,
weight his frame and hight demand
never approaching either to corpulence
or to emaciation, and he is singularly
free from rheumatism and from dysr
pepsia.

have always been
strong in the faith and active in en-
deavoring to advance it's interests. The
slow growth of the Bible Christians is
due to the peculiar provisions to their
creed, which compel members to alb
stain from partaking Of foods which
for ages have been considered neces-
sary to physical strength and health.
The Bible Christians were founded
by Rev. w. Cowherd, of Manchester,
Eng, in 1907. Mr.. Cowherd, who was
a teetotaler and vegetarian, held
that meat eating was at the base of
the crime of the world. 1t made men
cruel, and, because they slaughtered
animals daily. they We're blind to the
wrong of slaughtering their fellows by
the bullet in warfare and by the moose
in criminal law. 1t made men also
thirsty for alcohol, and only through
vegetarianism, he commended, could to.
tai abstinence be made universal. He
determined to found church the men,
,bers of which should pledge them
selves to abstain from eating flesh, fish
or fowl as food; from drinking intox-
icating liquors of all kinds; from war
and capital punishment and slavery.

Iowa Crops Arc Badly Damaged, but
Fair Yield Is Expected = Cloud
burst Floods waterloo-New Swindle
Being Worked on Farmers.

The harvest. somewhat delayed by the
floods, is now in progress all over the
State. The small grain has undoubtedly
been greatly damaged by the rain, but
not in the same way nor to the same eN-
tent as the corn. The great difficulty
confronting the farmers ut this time is
how 10 do their work. Help is difficult
to secure. Iowa farmers are more inter
ested in the corn crop than anything else.
1t is estimated by the crop bureau that
at least 1,O00,O00 acres. or near II per
cent of the acreage. have been destroyed
by the floods. The corn on the uplands
never looked better. 1t has grown RIP
idly and is already tasseled out and begin
ming to ear in many sections. The pros
poet Is for big crop of corn on the lands
that We're not reached by the floods. The
oats are now being cut and have been
greatly damaged by the rains. The straw
is badly rustcd. and comparatively little
of the crop will be of a good quality. That
which was cut before the last heavy
rains is in bad condition, and in many
places has rotted in the shock. The con-
ditions In northern Iowa are better than
in the southern part of the State, and
fortunately the largest acreage is in
northern Iowa. The condition of the oats
crop is duplicated by that of the spring
wheat. The wheat is not lodged as badly
as the oats in most places, but the straw
is rusted and the crop will not be of a
good quality. The fall wheat was cut
before the rains. and has been badly dam
aged in the shock. Only small percent
age of the hay was cut before the heavy
rains. Most of that cut was ruined and
could not be secured The fields that
were allowed to stand are now in shape
for cutting

1t is a practice in some sections to
mulch young orchards during the sum
mer in order that the soil moisture may
be conserved and many different ma
terials are used for the purpose. In
some localities sawdust may be so
cheaply obtained that orchardists are
tempted to use 1t. There is no dan
ger to be apprehended from the use of
sawdust provided it is used properly.
When used rs mulch sawdust
should not be spread too heavily, for it

sign for New England agriculture, as
nothing seems to be such clear gain as
turning off a pair or two of fat cattle
every year. Cattle raising has been too
much neglected in the New England
States during the past twenty years,
and 1t is pleasure to note that on
many farms cattle husbandry is again
coming.to the front. No better beef in
the world is raised than that which is
pastured on New England hillsides,
even if it topped off with Western corn,
though we believe that cattle hus-
bandry will lead to large areas of corn
fodder and corn to be harvested in the
grain. Nothing seems to improve the
farm faster than increased attention to
the producing of beef and raising the
necessary fodder crops and grain crops.

Fertilizing the Strawberry

From careful study of the anatomy
of the strawberry plant the Wisconsin
station is of the opinion that a liberal
top dressing with fine manure or very
fertile soil after the fruiting season is
the most rational method of fertilizing
the strawberry plantation. This dress
ing protects the crowns of the plants
from excessive summer heat and fur
nishes the young roots with abundant
nourishment throughout the growing
season, developing strong plants which
are able to store up in the short stems
a good supply of reserve material for
the first leaf growth the following
spring.

We often hear people say that eggs
from some breeds of fowls are richer
than those from others, and that those
with dark shells are richer than those
with white shells. Such differences, or,
rather, the source of such differences
is purely imaginary. Neither the breed
nor the color of the shell affect the
quality of the egg. 1t is the food, and
