Big Valentine Year.

Valentines, according to the unusu'
al activity of fancy goods houses OF
New York that deal very largely In
those triffes, are To cut wide swath
this,,ear. One house alone that does
an extensive business in this line has
sold hundreds OF thousands OF dollars
worth of these sentimental moth
ingS.
The general tendency OF this years
valentines is more towards art pro-
ductions that the hideous caricatures
and the flimsy lace paper affairs with
punches OF flowers, Cupids and dove
gummed on here and there. Arrows
and hearts, Cupid and his effective
poetry, are still leaders for the epis-
ties of the match making day, but
productions are most artistic, some oil
them being handsome enough Tor the
recipient to want to keep. The smit'
ten swain may blow in from $40 10
SIS for a valentine If so he chooses.
Comics are as funny as ever, but
the artistic tonch of the caricsturists
is In evidence. Offensive penny
daubs are to be superseded by fitting
picturers that are funny, but not
singing.

Decorah public opinion. (Decorah, Winneshiek County [Iowa]) 1895-1928, 1904-07-27

Two years ago the land craze was at
fits height all through the west. The
owner of a farm was not then safe in
putting a price on his land unless he
was ready to make good and sell it.
There were ten men after every piece
of land for sale. and prices were boom
ed up largely beyond real values. Any
kind of farm land could then find buy
ers = good improved farms, timber
tracts, swamps, sand hills. 1t is diff
ferent now. The craze is over. Values
have declined. Farms are now sold at
figure based upon their productive
capacity. Buyers are few, notwith-
standing the farm is just as safe and
paying a proposition today as before.
the average selling value of farm prod
ucts being if anything higher now than
two and three years ago. Americans
have these periodical speculative
craZes and always will. A century ago
they had the silkworm and mulberry
craze, in late years the Belgian hare
fad had 'em, and now a whole lot are
stuck on ginseng. Spite Of all our edu
cation, morality and intelligence, the
average American is born Spectator
and gambler; it's bred in him.

THE FAIR THING.

When a farmer hires hand at $26
per month, board and washing, just
what is fair and right to demand of
the man in the way of work? is a ques-
ton fired at us. Well, the eight hour
plan won't work, to start with. Dur
ing the crop season farm cannot well
be handled with less than twelve
hours work, say two hours for doing
chores, two hours for meals and eight
hours for straight work in the fields;
if hired man would not do this much
we would not want him. In addition
to this, there will be times when this
limit will have to be exceeded-in hay
ing, harvesting and thrashing time.
On the other hand, the hired man who
is willing to meet these conditions
should not be kept at work every min
ute during rainy day. We believe
that where two men are kept it is bet
ter to turn the milking and the chores
over to one and let him take his time
in doing them. Too many chores to do
after hard days work in the field is
what makes the hired man homesick.
Decorah public opinion. (Decorah, Winneshiek County [Iowa]) 1895-1928, 1904-07-27
AS TO SEED CORN.

Throughout the corn belt there was
last spring vigorous effort made by
some of the agricultural experiment
stations to instruct the growers of corn
in regard to their seed corn, its selec-
ton, planting, etc. While much good
was thus no doubt accomplished, the
right time to do this sort of work is in
the fall of the year, at the time when
the seed corn should be gathered from
the field. Once knowing what to Sc
lect for seed, the winter care of it is
really simple matter, bearing in mind
the fact we have heretofore noted in
these cOlumns-that to insure perfect
termination Of seed corn it should be
picked before frost and kept where it
will not freeze until planted, for it is
frost which is the principal destroyer
Of the vitality Of seed corn.

COunterpanes Displace Blankets.

The @. IN. &. st. P. r. Co. owns
and operates the sleeping cars in ser
vice on it's various lines, and has just
inaugurated an innovation which will
appeal to all sleeping car travellers.
On it's Southwest Limited trains
between Chicago and Kansas City
white counterpanes orIy bed'spreads
have replaced the wooden blankets
which have heretofore been in evil
dence twelve months in each year,
much to the discomfort in hot weather
of sleeping car patrons.
Blankets will be held in reserve and
within reach for cool nights.
The innovation is calculated to not
only add to the comfort of passengers.
but it will appeal to all who like a
bed that is inviting in appearance.

CAUSE AND EFFECT.

an audience of several hundred farm
ers at picnic lately, deplored the tend
ency Of the hired man to run off on
Sunday evenings to see his best girl,
leaving all the cows for the old man to
milk. He also deplored the lack of
children in the country districts-the
good old fashioned families of ten or
a dozen-and claimed that things were
out of joint. We asked him how he
could expect to ever get these old fash
Toned families under way if he kept
the hired man at home Sunday night
TO do the milking? He saw the point
