s+.er and Heifer Beef.

In the old country, 1t Is usually con-
sidered that heifers are to be preferred
to bullocks for beef production, the
claims put forward in support Of this
view being that they feed faster, their
beef is Of superior quality, and the
selling price higher. In America, steers
are looked upon as the better beef pro-
ducers, and, with the object of ascer-
tanning how far this suppositdon is cor
rect. a series of trials have been car
ried out at the Iowa station.
For the first test, fifteen Shorthorn
yearlings were used, five being steers.
five spayed heifers, and five unspayed
heifers. The heifers were all thought
to be clear of calf when brought, but
four of the unspayed and three of the
spayed calved during the spring and
summer, and this, of course. placed
them at a disadvantage as far as gain
was concerned. They were dried as
soon as possible, and began to make
satisfactory gains. The experiment
lasted eleven months The steers made
an average gain of sos lbs each. equal
to PA lbs per day; the open heifer,
clear Of calf. gained IT'S lbs. equal to
2.35 lbs per day; four open heifers
that had calves gained an average of

It Had Served Its Turn.

Mrs. John Lyon Gardner of Boston
exhibited some beautiful asters at the
recent show of the Massachusetts
horticultural Society.
One evening some on narrated to
Mrs. Gardner IA humorous story of an
exhibitor who had tried to bride the
Judges of flower show Into giving
him all the first prizes. She comment
ed on the story thus:
"The man had probably heard of the
cadi of Bagdad. This cadi had been
in his youth fisherman, and, to keep
himself in mind of his humble origin.
thepG was always spread upon his din
nef table huge fishing net
People admired the cadl for his ex-
addition of humility. He was rich and
his house was sumptuous. But, amid
all that elegance. the net, the sign of
the mans lowly birth, was always
prominently displayed.
'"The story of the net spread thru
the city, and finally reached the ears
of the Caliph. He, in due time, sent
for the cadl. took him into his favor
and made him his grand vizier.
Thus" said Haroun al Raschd, I'VE
reward humility"
From the day Of his appointment
the grand vizier ceased to exhibit his
fishing net 1t disappeared and 1t was
never spoken Of.
"One though. visitor, a man Of con-
siderable impudence. said to the vizier:
why Is it, my lord, that your net is
neS longer spread upon your table,

piled:

THE GOOD OLD DEMOCRACY.

While Clark Howells is telling us
that the solidarity of the south is due
to the administrations stand on the
negro question, the Memphis News
offers a more logical explanation when
it says:
"The democratic party is still in no
need Of reorganization. We just can't
make friends with that word. The
good old democracy is good enough
for us.
The News clearly states the point.
The good old democracy Of the days
when this country south of Mason's
and Dixon's produced only raw ma
terial by slave labor and manufacture
ed nothing, when every white man WING
worked was trash" and every northern
mechanic was mud SILL" when
the southern democracy led and nor
thern democrats were forced to fol-
low, was good enough because a slave
holding aristocracy controlled demo-
cratic congresses. The south is I'M
able to forget the time when it was
supreme. when it dictated the poll
cies and made the presidents of the
democratic party. 1t still dreams of
the radical south in power. Its party
democracy includes nothing that is
not of the south, and for the south,
There Is no true fellowship between
northern and southern democrats. The
democracy of the solid south looks
upon the northern wing of the party
simply as means to an end, as vassals
escaped from their true allegiance to
southern interests and domination.
The democracy south has no thought
OF amalgamation with the democracy
north. Its dream is one of conquest.
and annexation. How this may be ac-
complished the News points out thus:
Since the election a well nigh uni
versal sentiment has grown up in favor
of making virtue OF necessity and of
playing the united south against what
is sure to prove In the course Of time
divided north. The idea Is that the
south should nominate her own candi
dates and lay down her own platform
without reference to the north. The
north would soon be split up into fac
lions. 1t is impossible that the tremen-
dous body of men who supported
Roosevelt should long remain in polit-
ical cohesion New political forces
are beginning to develop. The social
lists made an immense advance in the
election last week. They are sure

SENATOR cockRELLs RETIREMENT.

That the vicissitudes of politics are
scarcely less than of war is illustrated
in the case of Senator Francis Marion
Cockrell, of Missouri, who must retire
from the senate after continuous SER
vice there for thirty years. A few weeks
ago Cockrells senatorial position
seemed as unassailable as Gibraltar.
When the republican landslide swept
Missouri it uprooted Cockreil. After
March 3. 1905, he belongs in the debris
and a republican Legislature will elect
was a cataclysm in Missouri. Cock
rells enforced retirement means to the
Missouri democracy what Allison's de-
feat by democrat would mean to the
republicans of Iowa. Their positions
in respect to their parties and states
are very similar. Cockrell lacks but
two years of an equal term of service
with Allison in the senate.
Senatorial changes are slow in Mis-
souri,. Two men, SockFelI ana george
G.. Vest. made up the senatorial dele
cation for almost a quarter of a cen
fury. 1t will be like pulling teeth for
the Missouri democracy to part with
it's ancient senator.
Senator Coclrell Is native Missouri
ian. born in Johnson county, Of that
state. educated in the schools and grad
uated from Missouri college. He is
20 years old. He was elected to sue
coed Carl Schurz, independent repub-
lican. so that his term of thirty years
service marks the close and the re-
naissance of republicanism in Missouri.
A peculiar feature of his career is that
he had never held public office until
elected to congress.

BISHOP PoTTER,s MODEL.

United States Consul Mahln, an Iowa
man stationed ut Nottingham, England,
In recent article describes the Brit
Ssh public house trust upon which the
Subway saloon approved by Bishop
Potter is modelled. The public house
trust came about thru clergyman. III
1877 the rector of parish in Warwick
shire found, on his appointment, that
the attitude OF trustee of village
inn conducted for the benefit of the
parish. He gave the matter his care
full attention and made it SO successful,
that, In 1898. the bishop of Chester and
others formed the Peoples Refresh
ment House Association. This second
success led. in 1901, to the formation OF
the Public House Trust Association,
for the purpose of organizing public
house trust in every county in Eng
land. This has been carried out to
such extent that these local trusts have
been established in every county ex-
cept four. and In Ulster Ireland, and
in South Wales. The same association
exists in Scotland.
The Public House Trust Association
recognizes the existence OF the liquor
habit and undertakes to provide drink
ing places where the least objection
able conditions surround the traffic.
It is aimed. for example, to make the
public house, which Is the counterpart
OF the saloon of this country, a house
Of refreshment instead Of mere
drinking bar. Food and good var
iety of misunderstanding drinks are to
be made as easily accessible as beer
and spirits. The manager of the
house receives fixed salary, with in
ducements to push the sale OF food
est in the sale of alcoholics.
The Public House Trust Association
does not attempt to establish new
houses, but to acquire those already
established, and this involves the en-
ployment Of considerable capital, as
these public houses are sometimes very
valuable institutions. They have been
known to sell the license, good will,
ETC.. for over $4,000. A million and a
half is subscribed to the capital of this
Public House Association The profits
are limited to per cent and the sur
plus above that is devoted to public
objects That the enterprise is profit
able may be inferred from the fact that
several trust houses last year distrib-
uted to objects of public benefit sur
plus above S per cent sums ranging
from $500 to $4,000.
A direct effect upon the liquor trade
is that the existence of these houses
in the neighborhood compels the other
saloons to also provide food and nom
ir1toxicants. The existence of a trust
house and its recognized higher grade
OF responsibility has also attracted
trade in some localities to such an ex-
tent as to make the competing private
institutions Improbable and ready to
sell out to the trust. Thus the trusts
control over the traffic is constantly
increasing.

southern vote would give the democ-

PER ACRE.

We don't know and no one else
knows lust how many bushels Of corn
are raised per acre In Iowa. Thirty to
foty is probably the average. A few
farmers have twenty acre fields
more have forty and many have eighty
to one hundred. Some even larger.
But did 1T ever occur to owners of
these big fields that they could crib as
many bushels from half the number of
acres if they would try? Here Is an

farmers to thinking. A man by the
