Government Ownership a DelusiOn.

A very popular idea at the present
time is that it would end all our trou-
bles about coal and with coal miners
strikes if the mines were placed under
the control Of the State and operated by
the latter. In fact, a new political party
has just been formed in Massachusetts
with single issue, and that Govern
ment contiscatiOn, management and con-
troll Of both the anthracite and bitumin-
Gus mines of the country. Foolish par
ties have been frequently organized in
this country, but, perhaps, none so silly
as this contemplated one.
Does any one know, can any one even
conceive, what the coal mines of the
country are worth? They belong to pri-
vate ownership today. The Federal and
State Constitutions prohibit the taking
or confiscaton Of private property with
out due compensation. They would
have to be paid for There is not enough
money in the world to buy and pay for
them. But that is not the least objec-
ton. A million men would at once be =
come Government workmen. They would
primarily become the tools Of the poll
ticians; later they would run both the
politicians and the country. Soon wages
thought just and proper, but what the
miners demanded. Labor has already
lessened the hours of work in the Gov
eminent service to eight hours. What
is there to prevent it under the new or
der of things to make them six or four,
with full wages. or even more? What is
there to prevent strikes then any more
than now? Would the union and its ex-
j L j
there be any work for men out Of the
union, or would present regulations as
to cards and dues and membership con
tinue to prevail in accentuated form?
Instead of having cheaper coal, it would
much more likely be higher. In short,
what p splendid thing it would be if the
coal business Of the country was turned
over to the politicians. Lancaster New

TIE BREED TO KEEP.
A Question That an Experienced Man
Finds 1t Hard to Answer.


J. A. T. wants to start dairying on
his farm and asks what breed Of COWS
he had better adopt what breed l have
and if they are satisfactory. A dozen
years ago | could have answered this
question rather positively and definite
ly, as | could a good many other direct
questions, but it is wonderful what an
effect half a score of years of severe
practical experience on the farm and
careful observation have in making q
man conservative, says L. W. Lightly
in National Stockman and Farmer. He
will not venture to tell a man just
what he is to do and how he is to do it.
Some Of his finest % plans would not
work out in his own hands. How could
he expect them to do so secondhand?
In selecting Il breed Of COWS for
dairying person should consider him
self and his environments. The breed
that person admires most is likely to
prove the best in his hands if carefully
studied and properly handled. For
dairy purposes it is Of course advisable
to select Il typical dairy breed, though
| have known men to make at least a
partial success with Il beef breed,
though not typical beef COWS 1t might
possibly be helpful to the Guestioner
and others in selecting breed of cat
tie to mention a few of the chief char
acteristicS of a few of the commonest
dairy breeds. The Channel island cat
tie Jerseys and Guernseys) were orig
mated and bred on the islands OF this
name, where the climate is not nearly
as severe us in our northern states. If
and then use our old methods of little
or no shelter in winter and compel the
cows to hustle over the hills for their
feed in summer, the native is likely to
come out ahead. The same is true Of
Holsteins. In their native home, the
Netherlands, they often share part of
the house with the family. Feed is
abundant and Of the right kind. Their
bodies are very heavy, and their bones
are not constructed to travel miles over
hills and valleys to find days living.
l know men who have lots of rough
land that furnishes some pasture and
who are opposed to 'babying" cows, as
they put it, who keep Ayrshires with
very good results. Their native home
is cold and rough country and pro-
duces good rugged stock. The Swiss
are credited with the same qualities
But do not for q moment think that
any breed can be had that will bear
neglect, only that some are better hus-
tiers than others.

Corn For the SiIO.

Corn should be put into the silo when
it is almost ready to cut and can be
put in at the time it is ripe enough to
cut with good results. Formerly it
was thought best to cut corn when
rather green for silage. but later prac-
tice leans toward the stage of ripeness
just before it begins to dry out and
the stalks become woody.
With sorghum we should think that
it should also be well ripened before
being made into silaGe, as at that stage
the sugar in the juice is fully matured
and the seeds are most valuable as
feed.-Dairy and Creamery.

CHARLES A. FRENCH, draughtsman in
the Fargo factory at Lake Mills is build
ing machine for the pressing of peat
into shape 50 that it can be placed on
the market and handled as fuel The
machine is powerful affair, requiring a
ten horse engine to run it. 1t is what is
known as an elbow motion and will press
the peat into three inch cubes. These
blocks can be made in lengths suitable
for cook stoves, or the fuel can be cut
up into nut size and burned in hard coal
stoves. The machine will press the peat
as solid as anthracite, of which it pos
sesses two-thirds the heat, and as peat is
smokeless, it will be better than soft coal.

that the intention of the voter is to cast

A DOCTORS EXPERIENCE.
Medicine Not Needed in This Case.

It is hard to convince some people that
coffee does them an injury. They lay
their bad feelings to almost every cause
but the true and unsupported one.
But the doctor knows; his wide expert
ence has proven to him that to some
systems coffee is an insidious poison that
underrnines the health.
3 Ask the doctor if coffee is the cause of
bles.
81 have been a coffee drinker all my life.
l am now 40 years old, and when taken
sick two years ago with nervous prostra-
ton, my doctor said that my nervous
system was broken down and that L
would have to give up coffee. I got so
weak and shaky I could not work, and
reading your advertisement of Postum
Food Coffee, I asked my grocer if he had
any of it. He said Yes and that he
used it In his family and that it was all
it claimed to be.
$50 quit coffee and commenced to use
Postum steadily, and found in about, two
weeks time could sleep soundly t.
night and get up in the morning feeling
fresh and well. In about two months I
began to gain flesh. I only weighed Jag
pounds when I commenced on Postum
and now I weigh l67 and feel better than
s did at 20 years of age.
II am working every day and sleep well
at night. My two children were great
coffee drinkers, but they have not drank
any since Postum came into the house
and are far more healthy than they were
before. Stewart M Hall. Fairfield,

Peruna is the remedy that will do this.
Peruna is not nervine nor a quieting
medicine Peruna cures just the condi-
tion-catarrh.
Peruna cures catarrh Of the internal
organs. and the nervousness disappears.
The more nervines one takes for ner-
vousness the more nervous he is, There
is always a cause for nervousness This
cause should be discovered and rene
died. Nervines are unnecessary. Pc
runa has cured more cases of nervous
ness than any other medicine in exist
ence, simply because it cures the con-
ditions upon which nervousness depends.
