A rIREsoME sENT1MENr.

There is type Of ultra tender heart
edness and sympathy for dumb ami
mails exhibited by some people which
becomes good deal of nuisance.
They seem to entirely overlook the fact
that in order that they may have meat
to eat somebody must take the life of
the animal. They go daft over dogs
and are utterly Indifferent to tie hor-
rors of hydrophobia and all the long
list of meannesses of which dogs are
capable. They call the dehorning of
cattle, the cutting off of the lambs tail,
the surgical treatment of male animals
of all sorts, cruelty to dumb animals
and come at you with the argument
that if these several processes and op-
erations are right then the Lord made
mistake when he created these ami
mails. 1t is very tiresome to come
across this sort of humanitarian. Man
was placed on the earth to suhdue it.
In this work Of subjugation he may do
much by kindness and should so do
wherever possible, but some things
must be subdued by force and the use
of seemingly harsh methods, and it is
utter folly to ignore this fact. Not even
the ways of the Almighty are all gem
tie, nearly all the sanitary. renovating
and rebuilding processes of nature be-
ing to a greater or lesser extent harsh
and seemingly cruel.

HOME IMPROVEMENT.

The question of home improvement
is always live one, and now that the
mortgage is paid off and there is lit
tie money in the bank some thought
should be given to this subject. We
hate to see twenty thousand dollar
man trying to live in two hundred
and fifty dollar home. for he ought in
justice to his family to live in some
thing better. Be the house what it
may. there is still chance for all to
improve the home surroundings. So
much may be accomplished with paint,
Strengthening and cleaning up, tree
planting and lawnmaking that even
the comparatively cheap and poor
house can be made the nucleus of a
pretty and attractive view American
women are rated as the most attrac-
tive of any women, and largely be-
cause of the taste they exhibit in at
tire and manner. In the same way the
American home should be made equal
ly pleasing 1t looks like foolishness
to put $1,000 in fine house and then
pile firewood and old harness on the
front porch, while the poultry befoul
the walks and make busting places of
the flower beds.

BIKE HNR Z AS a REPORTEH.
What Befell His Realistic Writeup OF
Saloon Opening.

The San Francisco Chronicle says
that when Bret Harte was reporter
for that paper he was assigned to the
opening of new saloon in describing
which event he began nationally and
gradually worked around to the :nco.
herence of a drunken man. The arti.
Gle was an exact portrayal of the
stages of mans mind passing from
exhilaration to intoxication and Harte
was proud of his work When he
looked at the paper the next day he
found in place of his article half
column of matter as dull as dish wat.
er. In the absence of the editor the
foreman of the composing room, sup.
posing Harte had really been drunk,
and thinking to do him service, had
lifted" his story and substituted
hastily written makeshift.

Presidents signature. He seemed es-
pecially pleased to meet the boys and
to crafty their desires. In fact he
took special pains to please them.
There were no cards at hand and
where the boy had no album the Presi-
dent used pad of common print pa
per, writing his name in bold letters.
He invariably spoke a few words to
the boys and his attitude was rather
that of father toward them.
All Democratic.
In all his intercourse with those
who come in contact with him there
was the most democratic and simple
mannerisms. There We're perhaps a
score or more of the people in the
room during the hour, coming and 60
ing. Secretary Shaw was in CONVEX
sation with senators and newspaper
men; Secretary Wilson likewise and
the other cabinet officials were chat
ting away, yet there was nothing Wis
ible to indicate the presence of the
President of the greatest people on
earth. There was no condescension or
evidence of high estate and the entire
proceedings seemed to be of the most
commonplace sort. The President is
man of the people; it is little wonder
that the people are with him.

IOWA CENTRAL IMPROVEMENTS.
Proposes to Keep Abreast of the Rapid
Advancement

In this day of undermining the rail-
way service of the country, it should
be gratifying to Iowans to note that
the Iowa Central Route, which is one
of the land marks of the early state
railways, is not behind the times in
the great extent of improvements and
equipment of service now marking the
railway life of the west.
Possessing an exceptionally fine
route through the best section of Iowa
from Peoria on the east and st. Louis
and Kansas City on the south, to st.
Paul and Minneapolis on the north, it
was natural and necessary sequence
for the Iowa Central to overhaul and
equip its trackage and train service to
meet the heavy increase of traffic that
Is now patronizing it's quick and con-
venient service between the points
named. The notice elsewhere in these
columns signalizes that the Iowa Cen
trail not only purposes to maintain it's
position with the western roads for
improvements, but to still further
maintain its exceptional advantages
for quick service and comfortable trav-
ell from points in Iowa to Peoria, st.
Louis, st. Paul, Kansas City and st.
Paul and Minneapolis and to most sig
nificantly indicate it's appreciation Of
its rapidly augmented business.

THE APPLE PROSPECT.
A Fruit Tree Expert Says 1t Is Very
Encourauinu.

H L. Messick, Quincy, ILL.,, fruit tree
expert: Apple prospects for this year
are most encouraging. Taking every
thing into consideration, the average
yield should not be far from 60 per
cent Some orchards, of course, will
go far above this. and many will fall
below it. The apple is the great mon
ey-making and mortgage-raising crop
of this section. 1t is crop of which
there can be no oyer-production, for the
more fruit the people eat, the more
they want A good orchard eight
years old and over will yield net in
come of 500 to $3.50 an acre, and, mind
you. that is but an average. Look at
the figures for single crops sold on
trees. A 300-tree orchard in Adams
county, covering less than four acres,
produced S1,155 worth of apples in a
single year. An eighty-acre orchard
near New Salem paid for itself several
times over with $4,000 crop. The
crop from 100-acre orchard belonging
to Stark Bros, the Missouri nursery
men, was sold few years ago for $685.

field to go on producing corn or wheat
year after year. 1t simply will not do
it, and there must be either an intelli.
gent rotation of crops or Fertilization
of the land. In the case of an orchard
rotation is out of the question, so the
only relief for trees which have ex-
hausted the elements of the soil upon
which they depend is proper fertiliza-
ton. Another principal for which !
contend is that the pores. or bark, OF
tree need to be cleaned. just as much
as the pores of mans skin do. Nine
tenths of the tree failures which are
ascribed to insects are really due to
insufficient nourishment from the
ground or the lack of proper wash
for the trunk

SORGHUM AS FORAGE.

The use of sorghum as forage crop
is becoming more and more general
each year. Men who have tried it
like it and say that no forage raised
on the farm is so eagerly eaten by
stock of all kinds. and it seems to
make no difference if it does become q
little widowed and musty; the stock
will eat it up clean. The best success
with this crop is had by sowing the
last of May, drilled or broadcast, and
sowing thickly, cutting it just as late
as possible in the fall, so that the hard
frosts will not spoil it, then punching
it into cocks in the field of 500 or 600
pounds each and letting it remain
there until wanted in the winter. In
this way it does not cure as does hay,
but retains it's juices and succulent
qualities. 1t is greatly esteemed as a
substitute for silage.
