The frosts turned some yellow, while
the next tree remained perfect with
green leaves. The sumac always true
to the touch of frost came out in many
places fiery red. And the naples
were as uncertain as the willows. Some
turned yellow, some pink, some shade
of light brown, and occasionally tree
attempted all Of the these colors. On

I LOOKER.ON IN IOWA
Observation-Disclosures.

Thornton, Nov. /. - The year 1904
agriculturally speaking, has been re-
markable one in many ways. The
weather from the list Of April to the
1st of September, the period during
which the crops of Iowa are made, was
not conducive to best results; this
statement the outcome of former ex-
perience. Referring especially to the
corn crop, at planting time the weather
was cold. and many kernels of corn
that sprouted died because of a lack
of seasonable heat. The result was
a general "poor stand" i. e.. only three
and two stalks in hill. OF course
there were some exceptions, but the
state over did not have good stand"
Of corn. Again, we failed entirely in
having our usual hot spell Of ten days
more or less when the thermometer
hangs around So degrees day after day.
We also failed in having hot nights
heretofore considered absolutely neces-
sary to big crop of corn in Iowa. Pro-
baby not three hot nights can be re-
corded for the summer Of 1904. And
yet in the face Of all Of these unfavor-
able conditions, on the LIST day Of Sep
tember, corn was not over ten days
late" Then came the phenomenal
weather of September, giving Iowa
s100,0oo,o0o worth of sound corn.
And here is another striking feature
of the corn crop of 1904. Probably
never before have we raised as many
big ears of corn. Big in ciroumfer-
ence and in the large number OF rows
on the cob. Those husking their corn
now find in the wagon loads hauled to
the crib. many more big ears than
usual. The weight of the acreage this
year is immense. Not only are the

a CHANGE IN INDIAN POLICY.

A new Indian policy is likely to be
adopted by the government that If car
ried out properly and with judgment
should turn the tribes toward future
citizenship. AS matters stand now
the reservation unmakes much and IN
many individual instances all that
schools and training have done for in
diyidual Indians. Heretofore the In
dian has been educated by the gov
eminent and allowed to return to his
native haunts with living practically
assured him without doing a hands
turn. He wanders at his own free
win thru the wilds Of his allotted reser-
walton and associates with his savage
brothers, until within a f ew short
months he is as savage and wild as he
ever was. The policy Of the govern
ment is to educate the Indian and then
turn him loose on his own resources,
when he will have to practice what he
has been taught or starve. AS 1t is
nut by Commissioner Jones, ut will ex-
terminate the Indian, but develop the
man."
The most vexing problem which
confronts the Indian commission is
that Of forcing the redman to retain
the moral education which he so read
lily takes on at the numerous schools.
The Indian girl returning to her home,
finds few restraints thrown about her,
and she at once takes to the old Gus
tom which she knew in her childhood
and which she had almost forgotten
during her training among the whites.
According to the custom Of her native
tribe she is sold like a beast or bur-
den or assigned a station in life wholly
unbecoming tn her better ideas. Near
ly all tribes consider a legal marriage
ceremony as superfluous and polygamy
is practiced by many tribes. The con-
templated change In the Indian policy
is absolutely necessary to accomplish
the most satisfactory results from edu-
eating the Indian.

JAPAN TEACHING SANITATION.

One of the most valuable lessons that
the world Is learning from the Japan
csc is brought back to this country by
Major Surgeon Louis L. Seaman, who
has Of late returned from an inspection
Of Japanese hospitals and a study Of
the Japanese medical service and It's
organization. With a personal know
ledge and experience of the inefficient
and loosely organized service similarly
employed in the Spanish-American war
Major Seaman came home filled at
once with admiration for the thorough
system Of the Japanese and deter
mination to teach what he has learned
Of the methodical and effectual use Of
science in preventing disease. The
Japanese, he says, propose to eliminate
disease as factor in war. Their med
ical officers are ubiquitous. They are
ahead of the army testing water sup
plies and labelling wells and drinking
places as safe or injected. quarantine
ing infectious diseases and posting no.
tees. They sample the fruits and
food supplies after microscopic exam
ination, and IL water is to be boiled
for safety notice is given and the COM
mand enforced. Medical officers exam
Inc and supervise the cooking. lecture
the enlisted men on sanitation and the
transmission Of disease thru bacteria.
They guard health to prevent restoring
1t. Tho rule that four soldiers die OF
disease to one killed by the enemy is
to be reversed. There are no epidem-
les Of intestinal diseases in the armies
OF Japan simply because scientific
knowledge has gone ahead Of them and
provided almost complete sanitation.
These conditions are long way from
the fever pen at Chattanooga, where
the demand for surgeons and physi-
clans was insistsnA and unsupplied.

kind" he says, II tell you 1t was a
positive delight to visit that great SER
les of hospitals, from Toxic to Sasebo,
with their long wards filled to over
flowing with wounded, sufferings sold
iers-the legitimate victims of war,
their faces full of health and hope, de-
spite their fearful wounds in the long
hard campaign Of five or six months IN
Manchuria, their chief desire to know
how soon they could rejoin their com
rades, and to contrast them, in mem
DRY, with the vivid picture Of the poor,
wan, emaciated, and almost helpless
faces that crowded the wards Of our
hospitals in Cuba, and Porto Rico, IN
Tampa, Chattanooga, and Camp Alger,
and Montauk Point in 1S9S-and in the
Philippines in 1899 and 190O-the inno-
cent, unwounded, the illegitimate vic
tins of another conflict, which, in COM
parison with the one now waging,
would be considered no war than a
skirmish among outposts."
Japanese war experts laughed when
the representatives of foreign nations
came to study their rifles, military tao
tics and fighting formations and ne
elected their commissary and medical
departments. The United States sent
five military attaches to the Jap armies
in the field but no medical officer,
quartermaster or commissary officer
was detailed for such service. The life
saving service was neglected. COM
department got the appointments.
What can be expected, he asks, of a
government that after it's terrible les
sons of 1S9S-99 still insists-especially
in the tropics-on subsisting it's army
on a ration so rich and elastic Qovely
term, that elastic), so elastic that when
in the emergency of war it's elasticity
is tested, it bursts it's bands. and is
found to consist of pork and beans and
fermenting canned rubbish that in six
weeks prostrates SO per cent of its
100000 units with intestinal diseases,
and sends 5000 to their last homes, to
say nothing of the enormous number of
invaded and the $4,000 pension
claims? That in its famous reor-
ganization fails utterly to recognize
one Of the most important of all the
departments namely, that of santa
tion 1t is recognized by the Japan
ese today? That holds it's great life
preserving department in such light
esteem that but one officer in the en-
tire army can even reach the rank and
emoIuments of brigadier-general?
War is a great teacher. If the Rus
so-Japanese war may be able to teach
thoroughly the lesson that Major Sea-
man learned during his stay with the
japanese medical corps it will, not
withstanding it's bloody character, save
thousands of lives where it destroys
one. It's lesson is for peace as well as
for war, for great cities as well as
for great armies and for individuals
at home as much as for the soldier
abroad. 1t will be vastly to the credit
of the medical men of all nations to
take a lesson from Japan. The un-
necessary and avoidable death rate
among the citizen soldiers Of this
country in the camps of the Spanish
war emphasizes the need that obtains
among American army surgeons for
such instruction.
