There is no question but that the col
lapse in the stock market effects the
west far less than it does the east, re-
marks the Omaha Bee. The reason is
that western people are not so deeply
inoculatcd with the stock speculation
WINS. In eastern communities it is
the exception when man with the
means is not constantly playing with
margins, and the women are also we'll
seized of the mania, whereas dabbling
in stocks in the west is confined to a
comparatively small part of the popula-
ton and INDUCED in only in sort of
experimental way. The west is intent
upon building up and developing legiti-
mate Industries and has not tho leisure
class to be easily tempted by the stock
market. 1t is good thing that this
broad difference still exists when the
east gets shaky on declining money
market it leans upon the west for sup
port.

The Chicken Mite.

One of the most troublesome pests
with which poultry growers have to
deal is the chicken mite, or chicken tick
as it is more properly called. When a
flock becomes infested with this parasite
the egg production is reduced and in
many cases the profits seriously cur
tailed by the pest. Matching hens and
young chicks are especially liable to it's
attacks. A bulletin upon this subject
by DR.. j. J. Repp, veterinarian of the
Iowa Experiment Station, has just been
issued and may be had free by address
ing request to Prof. G. Il. Curtiss,
Director Of the Experiment Station,
Ames, Iowa. 1t contains information
that is of actual money value to those
who grow poultry either upon large
or a small scale. The information is
based upon recent experiments in COM
batting the pest. Kerosene emulsion is
recommended and full directions given
for it's preparation and application. The
emulsion may be prepared at home at
cost of about 40 cents per 80 gallons,
this amount being sufficient to spray the
ordinary farm hen house once. Alto
gether the bulletin is practical and help
full and by following it's directions own
ers of infested f1oclls can eNterminate
the pests and place the flock upon
paying basis.

Some of our best thinking men are
beginning to speculate on the time
when the coal deposits in the United
States will have been exhausted and the
people will of necessity look to other
sources for fuel. We have immense de-
posits of vegetable matter in the form Of
peat, which produces heat by combus-
ton when sufficiently freed from mois-
ture. 1t may safely be taken for grant
ed that some means will be found to
make peat proftably combustible,
though all inventors have so far been
foiled in their search. But at least one
precaution should be taken in advance,
and that is to prevent few rich men
obtaining possession of all of the peat
lands, and thus having a monopoly when
the time comes that the country will
have to depend on it OF something of it's
kind for heat Let the country profit
from it's experience with the coal
barOnS.

General Nelson A. Miles, the gallant
old warrior who has just retired from
command of the United States army is
the loyal friend of the horse, his stead
fast companion in many a time of battle
and almost his last official act was the
PRONUNCIATION of an order forbidding the
docking of tails in the military service.
Like all humane men Gen. Miles regards
this practice as brutal, and on this
point he and the president agree, as
President Roosevelt has always refused
to ALLOW the tails Of his horses to be
docked, despite the fact that the die
tates of silly fashion favor docking. In
the orders it is provided: Any altera-
tions in the length or shape of the tails
names, or forelocks Of public horses by
docking, banging or clipping are hereby
prohibited, and only such reasonable
trimming and plucking as may be neces
sary to prevent shagginess of appear
.ance will be permitted

American packers have trouble aside
from those which develope when, as in
the Spanish war, their products are
found to be putrid. France has new
tariff which about doubles the duty on
yankee meats and practically forbids
importation. This is tough on the
packers, but they have a remedy-Ad-
vance the cost to the home consumer
sufficiently to enable the French duty
to be paid and sales made as of yore at
suitable profit. That is the method of
the steel trust, and points the way to
others. Huh! What are these tariffs
for if not to rob the unoffending inno-
cents who continue to support the econ
mine policies that make such piracy
possible?

Two constitutional amendments will

Two constitutional amendments will
come up at the meeting of the next Iowa
legislature. Both having passed the
last session of the legislature it is
reasonable to suppose that they will
both be passed at the next meeting of
that body and submitted to the voters
at the general election 1904. One of the
propositions is for biennial elections. 1t
will be remembered that this question
passed two Legislatures before and car
ried at the polls by about twenty thous-
and majority, but on account of the i'm
proper wording of the bill it was knock
ed out by the supreme court The other
proposition is one giving a member of
the house of representatives to every
county in the state. This question was
also voted on before, but was lost by a
small majority, the large cities voting
against it and the small counties, which
were the ones interested letting it go by
default, largely on account of the ques-
tion being on the regular election ballot
Since that time law was passed pro-
viding for separate ballots on questions
of this kind, and thus it will be seen
that the matter will not be overlooked
hereafter when a person goes into the
booth to mark his ballot. There are
strong reasons both for and against the
biennial election proposition, but on the
amendment to let each county have a
member of the legislature there seems
to be only one correct opinion, and that
is that such a law should be passed.
The big cities fight the proposition for
selfish interests only and not because
there is justice in doing such thing.

The Philadelphia Enquirer gives
some good advice, and timely. too. The
market for stocks is low-very low.
There is presented a temptation for men
with small incomes and savings to spec
ulate. Don't do it. We are talking to
those of moderate means who cannot
afford to lose. Those who can are able
to look after themselves. But there is
this to be said: There are various
standard blocks of railroads and corpor-
ations that have been paying dividends
steadily. Such stocks can be depended
upon.
