ton Of how best TO mark them, to dis

to establish their identity under any
circumstances The central expert

tattooing in place of the more usual
branding. The branding iron not only
frequently leaves an unsightly and dis

purpose, since it indicates the owner

WHERE BRAINS DO NOT COUNT,

The Federal service certainly offers no
attraction to the young man with moth
ing but brains. Perhaps in no other de-
partment of human activity can there
be found such amazing mediocrity and
inefficiency as here. Character and
brains count for nothing. An educated
applicant for Federal position may
deluge the departments in Washington
with ''letters of Endorsement" from hun.
dreds ofmen who stand high in the
world of business and politics; but the
letters are filed away in the archives of
the department ''for reference" while
the place that is sought is given to some
obscure nonentity, who has not bother
ed his poor brain about Endorsements,
in order to reward the friend of a poll
tician with Il "pull," or to carry out a
deal arranged by the bosses.-Forum

Very strikingly and pointedly is the
fallacy of protection put thus by the
Davenport Leader: "America's chief
infant, christened the steel trust, has
announced profit for the past nine
months of $s5,779,29s. After paying
interest on its bonds and dividends of
Z per cent on its preferred and per
cent on its common stock it has a sur.
plus of $l0,000,OOO which, according to
the reasoning of the protectionists,
should have gone to its workmen."

During the year ending September 80,
1901, there were shipped out of the
state of Iowa S9,S06,645 pounds of but.
ter, net increase Of 4 ,425 $3.50 pounds
over the year previous. These figures
were given out by the state dairy COM
missioner recently and will form a part
OF his annual report. They will prove
a surprise to many dairymen, who
have been predicting that the butter
shipments in Iowa during the past year
would fall away. The large increase
over the year 1900 is attributed by the
state dairy commissioner largely to the
rapid growth in the manufacture of
process butter in the state, During
the past year process butter factories
have sprung up over the state very
rapidly. Nearly all of the butter
which is received by these factories
and worked over comes from outside
the state. so that the butter shipments
as listed by the dairy commissioner do
not represent the actual number of
pounds shipped out of the state. The
net shipments for the past year were
70, 437 1852 pounds. In 1900 the net
shipments were 7l.7l9,329 pounds.
Figuring on this basis there we're
shipped out OF the state 1,437 pounds
OF butter per square mile during the
year 1901. During the previous wear
the shipments averaged 1880 pounds
per square mile, making an increase for
this year of sixty.seven pounds per
square mile.
