New Era in Politics.

tuition the work Of the Democratic par

Their principal theme was abuse Of fell
low-Democrats, party workers, etc. we
have never taken any stock in that class
of Democrats, because we always con-
sidered them hypocrites OF the worst

practiced another.
With the elimination of the negro vote
we believe we enter upon new era IN

Character and ability will be the stailo,

APPLES ON CRAn TRUyKs.

Here is nut for the apple man to
crack: Two apple trees, one located
near Dubuque and the other on the
prairie in north central Iowa, are hale
and hearty and bearing good crops of
fruit at thirty-two years of age. There
is nothing very remarkable about this,
but when we say that both these trees
are Seek No Farther apples, top graft
ed Oh the stock of Siberian crab, the
Seek No Farther being an apple which
it is utterly impossible to raise upon a
root graft in the territory named it be-
comes Il fact Of much interest for all
fruitmen. These trees, surviving the
climatic changes and, shocks of thirty
two years and bearing abundant crops
Of one Of the best apples in the world
on their little Russian trunks, is an OBJ
ject lesson which should be needed by
all those who are interested in growing
fine apples. We also know Of iona
| than apples SO top worked which are
bearing fine crops Of splendid fruit in
southern Minnesota, territory in
which the Jonathan apple is no more
at home than is our colored brother.
Facts like the foregoing should be
needed and acted upon by our fruit
men.

PACIFIC COAST LUMBER.

With the disappearance of the pine
forests Of Michigan, Wisconsin and
Minnesota big forests of Oregon and
Washington are beginning to be drawn
upon to supply the demand for lum-
Der in the central west Dimension
lumber-boards, scantling and joists-
up to sixteen feet in length Of this Pa
cific coast product is now being laid
down in the towns and cities of the
central west for sol to 500 per thou
sand feet by the carload, or at price
which brings it into direct competition
with the product Of the northern pin
cries. This coast lumber sells at the
mills for 81 to So per thousand feet,
and the freight is about $14 per thou
sand feet. The great benefit Of reduc-
ed rates from the coast is thus easily
seen, and it is likely to materialize be-
fore long.

PROFITS OF COTTONWOOD TIMBER.

Z
At late meeting of the Southwest
ern Horticultural Society of Iowa a
gentleman Of good reputation made the
following statement with reference to
the profits Of timber culture on the
western prairies: Twenty years ago
he planted row Of cottonwood slips
four feet apart half mile along the
highway fronting his farm. The trees
grew tall and thrifty, and as they at
tanned large size drew upon his farm
field adjoining for width of three
rods, occupying thus about three acres
of land. Last fall and winter all but
100 of the trees were cut, and from
them were made $4,000 feet, board
measure, Of serviceable lumber and $50
cords of wood. The lumber sold for
SIS per thousand and the wood was
worth 1925 per cord, or cash value
for the timber grown on these three
acres of S1,O42, or $347.50 per acre, or
an annual income of $17.37 per acre
for each of the twenty years. 1t should
be stated in this connection that these
trees grew upon the loess soil of the
Missouri slope, soil wherein the cot
tonwood tree finds its most perfect de-
velopment, and we do not believe the
above record could be duplicated upon
the average prairie soils of the west.

LIVE STOCK Aucr1oNEEas.

We are asked whats sort of compen-
sation is Received by the live stock
auctioneers-not the little fellows who
cry the common farm sale, but those
who sell the blue blooded Shorthorns,
Doddies and Herefords at fancy prices.
Inquiry develops the information that
the best of these auctioneers receive
from 500 to $3.50 per day for their
services and sometimes more when
they sell on commission and strike a
good lot of stock and buying crowd.
To be able to command these prices
for their services, however, they must
be a walking encyclopedia of the pedi-
grees of the best stock in the country
and possess, what is not common
trait, the ability to in some degree hyp
notice men and make them buy and
pay prices which If let alone they
would not do. Not many men are nat
urally fitted for this business, for a
man should have n reversible con-
science and Il tongue hung on ball bear
ings to make a brilliant success at it.

THESE MAKE A MISTAKE.

We know of some men who are go
ing to get their heads into a sling by
going daft over this land craze, and
these the men who buy farms at $TT5 an
acre, making a small payment down
and expecting to pay the balance out
of profits made on the farm. These
forget that these high priced farms are
many of them pretty well run out
been cropped for forty or fifty years
and that existing high values for all
farm produce are abnormal and not at
all likely to continue beyond the time
when the law of supply and demand
shall equalize prices. 1t is all right to
buy such farm for an investment,
paying for it when the deed is passed,
as it will rent for enough to pay low
rate OF interest upon the investment,
but this is very different proposition
from that of trying to pay for such a
farm from its products.

PATE DE Fo1E GRAs.

The above is the name of high
priced delicacy much affected by the so
called epicurean rich, and what is it?
A matured goose is shut up in a box so
small that it can just stand upright
and stick its head through the hole in
the top. 1t is then fed the most concen-
trated foods highly seasoned with con-
diments. This feeding is done forcibly,
the food being forced down the gullet
of the bird with stick made for that
purpose. Soon after this treatment be-
gins the liver Of the bird becomes en-
larged and diseased and keeps on
growing in size until it will weigh as
much as the liver of good sized calf
The bird is kept until it is just ready to
die, when it is killed and the liver tax
en- and given a special secret treat
ment, when it is packed in jars and
gold labeled and then passes through
the usual channels of trade to the cpl
curean consumer. These diseased liv-
ers bring the producer, the small farm
ers of Alsatia, from 81 to 81 apiece,
and the more diseased the goose which
produced them the higher price they
bring. Now, if tempted to order pate
de foie gras" on your bill of fare at
some tony restaurant, you will know
just exactly what you are getting and
eating.

improvements on other lines. 1t was
notable in many respects, and in no
other was it more interesting than that
it brought together business and pro-
tfessional men, young men and men of
all shades of belief all united, how
ever, in sympathy with the main OBJ
ject. 1t was notable in another re-
spect, in that it brought to the city
the governor of the state who came to
testify to his deep interest in this
movement. 1t has been seldom that

TREE PLANTING.

It will soon be tree planting time
again, and we would like to offer a
suggestion about tree planting around
the home lot. Please do not set the
trees out on regular lines, squareseand
the like. The only trees set in rows
should be those bordering the street
and those in the orchard. The best
model for tree planting for home en-
Enlistment is to be found in the native
forests or, rather, in the openings at
the edge of the timber-natural and
artistic combinations of forest tree,
shrub and vine, with an interval of
grass meadow between. Find some
pretty spot of this sort and study the
way nature has arranged the trees and
shrubs. Another thing, don't get the
trees too near the house. They seem
all right when young and Go no harm,
but they s,on grow, and then you see
the mistake you have made, and rare
ly can there be found man with cour-
age enough to lay the ak to the root
of the handsome and thrifty tree which
he has himself planted. Nothing SO
spoils the front yard or lawn as cou-
pie of evergreens set twenty feet dis
tant from the house. Evergreens are
all right, but they should grow alone
and be grouped with other deciduous
trees to give fine effect In home
decoration more attention should be
given to the common woodland shrubs
The common hawthorn tree, the
wild crab apple, the sumach, the elder
berry, the wild cherry and in vines the
Virginia creeper, the partridge berry
and woodbine should each have a
place on the home grounds.

THE FRET" GARRISON SERIES OF
ARTICLES.

The hand and brain of J. S. Clark
son (ReD are clearly manifest in the
series Of articles now appearing in the
Des Moines Register The. last one
that has appeared was on Sunday, Feb
ruary 2, entitled EARLY Iowa and the
people who lived here; the white fleet
of prairie schooners in which the peo
sple@eame.a UnderEthis" title the writ.
Ter has. in eight columns, given a gra-
phic description of the days of early
settlement,the difficulties and trials to
which the pioneers were subjected;
the influences that prompted the mi
grafton; the lofty purposes and aspI
rations of these state builders; the
|anxieties and perplexities Of the heads
of families; the privations of the chill
dren who We're thus taught the lessons
of sacrifice; the privations of all,
young and old, in laying the founda-
tons of state which has since be-
come great and exceeding all their
hopes and expectations.
Mr. Clarkson was a youth when he
came to Iowa, the son of sturdy far,
mer, educated beyond the standard of
farmers of that day, put a farmer in
body and in spirit; stalwart and ready
to take his place in the ranks of toll,
but withal a cultured gentleman who
gave to his sons the aspirations of
their lives which have made deep JIM
press upon the history of Iowa.
The series of articles now heing
published require no establishment Il,
fit them for the pages of volume that
will be concise history of the state.
There is no one that can do this work
equal to the one who has taken hold
of it. 1t is to him labor of love.
The result is a delight to every citizen
'of Iowa who has an honest pride in
the great state of the northwest that
lis pushing forward to still greater
destiny.
