Yes, August Flower still has the

anything else for indigestion or bill

out the system and stop fermentation
of undigested food. regulate the action
of the liver, stimulate the nervous and

GARDENING BY ELECTRICITY.

! AT Paterson, N. j., some months ago
| a market gardner was discovered in the
commission of peculiar theft. He hat
/ tapped the wire of an electric car lire
that passed near by his gardens and di.
rected strong current into his beds o.
vegetables. Detection ended the exper-
iment and resulted in the punishment
of the huckster, but he had in the
meantime, discovered an important
scientific fact. His garden had doubled
it's productive capacity under the spur
of the electric current.
An electrical journal published in
Germany makes report of scientific ex-
periments along this same line. which
prove conclusively the value of the
method of crop forcing inaugurated by
the enterprising truck raiser at Pater-
son. The method employed by the Ger
man experimenters which gave the best
results consisted of tickling the roots of
the young plants with light current
of electricity sifted thru the soil to feed
and stimulate their growth. Field and
garden plants were used and the tests
and the conditions of soil, seed. etc,
We're Identical as between the elactri-
cally fed plants and those left to the
simple care of nature. The growth and
yield of the plants stimulated by the
current doubled that of the others.
Those inclined to look pessimistically
on the increase of population and the
increasing values OF productive lands
should see ray of hope in these exper-
iments conducted by German philoso-
pliers on a line opened by a not too
honest American truck farmer III it is

proportionately easy.
But these experiments are not being
conducted for the Iowa farmer AS yet
he has no need to call upon electricity
TO aid in forcing an acre of soil to sup
port his family. When the increasing
population has cut the farms into gar
dens will be time enough for him to
study electrical farming. AT present his
fine farm horses, the boys and the hired
man are about all the forcing processes
needful on an Iowa farm.

their own methods and policy in order
to make the best defence they can
against what could undoubtedly be a
very serious attack. They may find
some consolation in rejecting that,
should the attack come, it will not be
directed against them alone, but will
be equally, and, perhaps, more Sc
verely. felt by the subsidized mer-
camille marine of the continental ma

Was it not an old Grecian philoso-
pher who said, First find out that
which thine enemy seeks to do?" The
Greeks might not have known every
thing. but they knew few things; and
in this comment of the London Times
can not Americans find a little salt to
sprinkle upon their potatoes?

THE IRRIGATION BILL APPROVED.

One of the important measures
adopted by the national senate on Sat
friday that will particularly please the
western section of the country was the
irrigation measure. The bill was un-
der discussion for several hours, but
encountered no opposition and was
passed without roll call. Indeed, it is
sc fair in it's scope as to commend it
self
This irrigation measure provides that

the direction of the secretary of the in
terror.
II VIII illus pe seen taal THESE pro-
posed improvements will pay for them
selves and add to the value of all lands

1t has been the general belief that no
great impetus could be given irrigation
until congress acted. The favor which
this measure received in the senate in
dicates that the house will also pass it.

A SUCCESSFUL FARMERS TRUST.

AT Rockwell there flourishes most
successful cooperative farmers asso-
citation. the objects of the organization
being to sell at the highest prices and
buy in the lowest market. This farm
ers' trust held its annual meeting last
Saturday and received the reports of
its officers and management. 1t APP
pears from these reports that the as
ISOLATION transacted business during
the past year to the amount of S616,-
294.66. That it handled $4,000 bush
els of oats and 1856 900 bushels of corn,
besides smaller totals of other grains
OF articles consumed by members of
the association it handled more than
5000 tons of coal, nearly 1000 sacks
of flour and more than 1000 barrels OF
salt. These farmers bought of the
association $4,000 pounds of 9arbed
! wire and nails, more than SO tons of oil
meal, thirty-nine tons of feed, 35 tons
of binding Irvine and 5000 grain sacks,
Lumber to the amount of 100000 feet,
100000 feet of shingles, 10000 feet of
lath and sash and doors to the
amount of $500 are other items of
these reports. Posts for about
twenty miles of fence, s625 worth of
paint, 81 barrels of linseed and lubri-
eating oils are also included in the vol
urne of business transacted. as are SO
car loads of hogs and cattle.
The cost of transacting this bust
ness and that of the branch at Cam
eron, the business at the latter place

This association Us one of the few of
its kind which have been successful,
It has raised and held up prices in its
community and by cooperative buy
ing saved much to its members. 1t
has $4,000 in its treasury. 1t saved
last year nearly $3.50 to each member
of the association. But 1t is unique Of
its kind and matter for newspaper
mention from Maine to California.
To duplicate its results it viii be
necessary to duplicate the commun-
fly of sensible, straight forward farm
ers that has built up the Rockwell
Cooperative association and forced its
success.

FOREIGNERS AFRAID OF SHIP SUBSIDY

sFVnEbONEno hFnhlU UT OnkE
The ship subsidy measure is soon
to be passed upon by congress. It's aim
is to develop our merchant marine, so
that instead of carrying only a small
percentage of our own commerce, in
stead of using foreign built and for
eign manned ships for the bulk of it,
the United States will carry the major
portion Of It's products abroad In home
constructed vessels. What should be
the national attitude toward such a
measure? There will be- considerable
opposition to 1t, but If it is framed up
on just lines it will appeal to progress
sive citizens as affording a desirable
impetus to home shipping. Perhaps
we may be able to learn a lesson from
abroad.

subsidy shipping bill before congress

February 20:

it would be In the highest degree I'M
reasonable and absurd to complain of
anything that they may think ad-
vantageous for themselves. The bill
will pass, or fail to pass. for reasons
over which our shipowners have no
control; and they must regard the con-
tingency exactly as if 1t were some
untoward consequence of cosmic
changes. What they have to do is to

careful stock of their own resources,

Referring to the railway assessment
measure agreed upon by the senate
committee, the Sioux City Journal
finds that "the most objection to the
bill seems to be that it is unnecessary,
as it does not change the authority of

the executive council possesses author
ity, as it now does, to take into con-
sideration any and all matters neces-
sary to enable said council to make a
just and equitable settlement why
take the trouble to mention some of
these items by name, when considera-
ton is not confined to them?" The

Is too low, the executive council pos
