Good Corn From Late Planting.

G. NJ. Gwynne, grandfather and farm
err, of Essex, Iowa, thinks there vii
be larger crop of corn this year than
last. He says that when the floods
We're at the worst there We're indica-
lions of a loss of % per cent. The
recession of water and replanting will
reclaim ten per cent and the increased
growth in some places due to the rains
will add five per cent making the total
possible loss with seasonable cOndI-
tions from this or not over ten per
cent of a full average crop. He looks
for Il great deal of corn from the lace
planted and replanted corn. He says
the best corn he ever cribbed was
planted on the 22nd of June and went
sixty-three bushels per acre. In 1876
when the grasshoppers took the corn
he replanted on the 1st. End and 3rd OF
July and secured good corn for feed
The frost caught it before it was sound
but it made good feed for hogs. lie
thinks the farmers should continue TO
plant the wet places as they dry out
through the entire month of June. II
the corn does not mature it will make
good feed anyway. Good idea; we like

Z REpusLlcANIsm IN SPAIN.

The Spanish monarchy IS in serious
danger of abolition of is form of gov
eminent and the substitution of a re-
public Il the recent Spanish elections
are considered. There is steadily In
creasing sentiment which favors over
industrial and commercial classes as
the vote of the elections referred to
above shows very plainly. The capital
city of Spain was overwhelmed by the
republicans and thirty-four avowed re-
publican deputies were elected to the
cortes No revolutionary conspiracy of
the Carhsts has awakened so much APP
prehension as the steady growth of re-
publican sentiment and power in Spain.
After centuries of suppression and OPP
preston the commonalty is making it
self felt A royal decree recently pro-
mulgated forbids the cry of long live
the republic as disturbing to public
tranquility and provides heavy penal
ties for the display of republican flags
or emblems.
Spanish kings never learn. Alfonso
is treating a twentieth century prob
lem after the fashion of Ferdinand. He
is attempting to bolster a falling mon
archy by force and repression of the
People. The Spanish republicans will
continue more earnestly and quite as
effectually In secret as they have done
openly. Such Is the history of the prop
uganda which proselytes for larger po-
lItical liberty. The people have grown
tired of kings and insist upon ruler.
If Alfonso wishes to remain at the head
of his government he viii study the de-
sires of his people more than his own.
The policy of suppression is step
toward abdication or revolution.

A Creamery Argument.

In a talk TO the business men of Den
ison. Iowa. J. II. Rushton, president OF
a creamery at that place argued that
while it might pay to crop cheap land,
the expensive land of today can only
be made to pay by extensive farming.
He stated that the gross income OF
an acre of corn was about $l2. OF wheat
or oats about $40, while q good $50 COW
would earn a gross income of $40 per
wear. Mr. Rushton neglected to state
that it would take about w acres to
support a COW Thus on a $50 basis
for land value the investment would
be about s125 to earn $40 gross but
even on this basis the returns are much
better than on the raising OF crops.
Mr. Rushton spoke of the fact that
the COW paid dividends twice month
thus affording a constant supply oil
money TO the former. He also spoEe OF
the great loss in fertility in our hliiy
lands from the washing away of plowed
lands. whereas grass lands do not eroue
and the cattle are a constant source OF
enrichment of the SOIL.
The cream separator and the Sab
cool, tests had made dairy farming; the
most profitable of any and he urged
that the business men of Denison pre-
sant ito advantages to the farmers OF
this vicinity.
At the conclusion OF the ADDRESS q
vote of thanks was given Mr.. Rushton
and resolutions in harmony with the
promotion of dairying We're passed.

Groom the Horses

Proper and frequent grooming of
work horses is done too little by far
ners who do not appreciate the impor-
lance of the work. A well-groomed
horse works better and requires less
food than a horse kept in filthy condi-
ton. Proper grooming opens the pores
of the skin, which means proper cir
culation of the blood. When circula-
ton has been impeded and the
pores of the skin are blocked the ami
NAL is out of sorts and cannot work
with normal vigor nor can it derive
the due amount of nutriment from its
food, hence it must eat more than

THE VALUE OF GOOD ROADS.
shenandoah Sentinel. |

Shenandoah SENTINEL
Although the good roads agitation
which has been going on during the
last few years has already accomplish
ed much toward the improvement of
highways. there is need for continued
effort along these lines. to the end that
our country and city roads may event
ually be credit to the nation as we'll
as a measure of health and economy.
The weed grown, mud, or dust-cov-
cred roadway is a distinct menace tc
the health of community. Dust is adj
mittedly a source of disease, and pools
of stagnant water, such as are found in
many of the roads today. are anything
but healthful. Good. clean roads. free
from weeds, and holes, are a direct
sanitary measure.
National pride should enter in to
| emphasize the desirability of good
roads To have the United States I'M
iversally spoken of as having the best
roads in the world would add another
international laurels to the large col
lection we already possess and which
is being rapidly augmented from year
to year.
Good roads are also demanded as a
measure of economy. With the bene-
| fit of well-kept roads. every other bus
| mess and profession is indirectly bebe-
| fitted.
| An accomplished engineer, who is
widely known for his skill and inteili-
gence has figured the cost to a farmer
hauling a full load to town over these
bad roads at 10 cents per ton per mile.
Now thirty three and one third BUSH
els of wheat will weigh 1000 pounds
one ton SO. if farmer hauls from
his farm to the station. say two miles,
the cos; of hauling one ton Is So This
| is exclusive of the loss of his own
time and that of the team.
Now, suppose such rate was in
force on a railroad. For one mile on
a single carload the charge would be
say fifteen tons at 10 cents per ton'
per mile, equal to s1.50. AT such a
rate the charge from Omaha to chi
cago, a distance Of 400 miles. would
| be $685. If the price in that market
| should be 81 per bushel, on the day OF
arrival, the carload of wheat would
bring $500, leaving the farmer S235 out
| of pocket, and indebted to the railroad
| for that amount. What a howl such
a railroad rate would institute! Con-
gress. the legislature and the courts
| would he appealed 10. for reduction
| Yet, proportionately, this is what every
farmer has to stand who hauls his
wheat from the farm to the station
over bad road. And what is more
| they endure 1t every year with the
utmost fortitude, and patience.
Thare ought to be some equitable
system of taxation devised, and the bad
changed into good roads, to relieve the
| farmer of an intolerable burden.
