to a pond west Of the city, part Of which
is on the right OF way Of the road and part
on the land of A. E. Stalder, and with a
seine took from the water a number Of
fish In violation of the law. There were
six in the party. and some OF them pro-
tested vigorously when a message from
the warden reached them instructing them
to, call at the Park hotel and fix the mat
ter up. The number of fish charged is ten
and under the law the fine would be $50,
which the warden asserts the men have
agreed to pay. On the other hand the ac-
cused men claim that the warden is not
empowered to fx and collect a fine without
giving them a trial in some court of COM
petent Jurisdiction. So the matter is at
present unsettled.

LESS NEAT. MORE GRAINS.

BETWEEN the two extremes of the
ultra vegetarian and the advocate
of meat eating, men, eminent as
thinkers and workers, have adopted
this sensible battle-ground posi-
ton Less meat and more grains
and fruits.
The notion that meat is abso-
lutely necessary is fast passing
away. By studying the habits Of
other nations we learn that the
Japanese, a sturdy race, live almost
without meat, the hardy Scots on
their "parritch and oatmeal ban
nocks; the Irish peasants on pota-
toes and buttermilk; and the Eng
fish laborers with little or no meat.
People are looking askance at
meat and more f%avorably on grains.
The excellent grain food, MALT
TOO FLAKES, is a satisfying sub
stitute for meat. Made of Al
wheat, thoroughly cleansed and
cooked, it is appetizing, nutritious,
and healthful. 1t brings no fever
ish thirst, and contains no faint of
disease. Containing four times
more nutriment than meat, and, as
4 result of its real merit, meeting
favor everywhere, it is bound to
hasten the time when less meat will
be eaten, and the health of the peo-
pie consequently improved.

Series OF Surprises.

In speaking about Americans as agricul-
t~urists. as judged from the sections OF the
United States that they have come in con-
tact with as yet. there were several inter-
esting things brought out. The party
seemed surprised at the widely differing
areas that supported the same crops. When
they reached Kentucky they were surprised
at the excellent blue grass that state pro-
duced; but they claimed that their surprise
was increased when they reached the Mis-
sissippi valley states to find the same crop
raised there just as luxuriantly. The soils
OF Iowa, as fitted for agricultural pursuits,
were warmly commented upon. Count
Kinksy stated that he expected to find con-
ditions that would be a surprise. but was
surprised at the extent of the surprise
awaiting him. While in his country the
farmers were forced to make an extensive

pressed with the differences between condi-
ions existing in this country and the lands
on the other side of the sea- In speaking of
the incidents Of their trip the party as a
whole seem to find one particular alone, in
agricultural conditions, that in this country
is inferior to those existing in their home
country. That thing is the question of
forestry. Count Kinksy Of Bohemia, speak
ing of forestry in Austria and Germany,
said. conditions being about the same in the
two countries: 9TH people here are not
up to the STANDARD OF our country in fores-
try. They do not take care of their tim
berlands. and In view of the fact that in
other regards they are 30 practical II was a
surprise to me that such was the case. In
Austria we consider that the trees must be
protected else the rains will wash away
the soil. and that I ind is the existing con-
dition in many parts OF this country. In
many parts the forests IN mountain sides
have been destroyed and the soil being left
exposed has been washed and quilted. In
our country we have laws that require that
every man who cuts a tree plant one to
take its place, and also owners of large es-
tates are required to have a certain portion
OF their estate as forest land. Accordingly
we ave become a strong forest producing
nation"
Regarding the schools they have visited
the party was struck by the practical ma
ture of American schools. While in their
own country the schools are largely human
istic In their character and afford a pleas
ant study they do not have the courses
that are of a practical benent In agrjcul-
ture and mechanical industries that should
accompany institutions Of the other class.
Every one seems enthusiastic in his praise
Of the Iowa State college, and the practical
nature of the work done there. III ex-
perimental work being done by the college
came in for a large part of their considera-
ton. and the interest manifested by the
state governments in fostering and en-
couraging such work was warmly com
mented upon.
