Good Cattle TO Feed.

sThe cattle feeders out in the country
appear to overlook regularly each year

been selling at $500 to s4.45 the past
week or two while good steers fed as
long as this heifers, didn't bring any
more money. Now if you would go back
a few months you would find that those
heifers cost $3.50 to $500 as stock stun
while the steers cost $3.50 to S400.
There was a difference of 81 a hundred
to start with. T.fla heifers made about
as much gain as the steers, and sold
for about as much money. On the
steers the feeders lost money and on
the heifers they made money. There
is the difference. Now this ds no new
thing It happens every year. Regular

spring fed she stuff sells up along with

limit to thu demand for tidy heifer
stuff. The supply has been heavy the
past two months, but 1T has been taken

Some msn appear to think it beneath

MODERN WAR AND MURDER.

The instant destruction Of the Pero-
ravlovsk and her crew by a concealed
mine has brought ont considerable crit
icism of the use of these engines in
defensive warfare. The Dubuque
Times among Iowa newspapers tepre-
Gates the use of mines as savoriilg too
much of murder and the Russian gov
eminent doubtless agrees in the indict-
ment. The shock Of wholesale kill
ing, the sudden destruction of large
number of men by. single agent is
largely responsible for the criticism
of the method employed. The same
objection will hold against submarine
boats, torpedoes or carried out gainst
night attacks Where darkness and
stealth aid a successful operation. A
land battle where 10000 men on Il side
were killed would scarcely bring q. pro-
test against smokelsss powder or Mau>
ser rifles.
The truth is that modern methods OF
warfare are comparatively blo'>dless.
The idea that improved weapons mean
increased loss of life is disproved by
the facts The shorter the weapon the
higher the death rate. The old Belgian
musket of the civil war killed its tens

ons. Roosevelt's men charged up a Hill
in the face of fire from machine guns
and high-power rifles with loss in
killed and wounded comparatively
nominal.
The war in the east has been on for
months and naval fights have been
thick and furious. Compared with the
losses in the elder days when men lay
their wooden walled ships side By side
and loaded in the smoke of each others
cannon the death loss has been ridicu-
lousy low. Despite modern strategy

Gratis are SO badly torn by dissension
and weakened by faction that the dam
ger of loss is small.
What IS needed most just al present
Us conservatism on the part of the
leaders of the standpatters, 1t is often
easier to win a victory than to gather
the fruits after it is Won.
We doubt If the harmony question
can be made to stick in Iowa politics
longer than to bring about another
campaign. The element in the party
that has followed A. Il. Cummins will
join together for q new fight and all
that will be wanted is a leader who
most clearly expresses their views
and who they believe will be the SAT-
est man to tie to. The moment Lead
en- is thought of, the mind naturally
turns to Tom Healy. of Fort Dodge.
No man in the state more strongly eN-
presses the sentiments of the liberal
republicans of the state than Senator
Healy, or would be able to gather a
greater following and you might say
Gs more heartily hated and feared by

Swine Feeding.

1t is absolutely necessary for the sue

reminder serves to recall the vigor or
his snort, the moment he was per-
mitted to project his nose above the
level of his aqueous surroundings.
Colonel Young Is Il warrior bold, but
sometimes his strategy leads him into
situations where all the energy he can
command is required to kick himself TO
ground that will support his feet, and
in his Temperatures, sans hat. with
dropping mustache, he chatters for a
haberdasher. Instead OF rendering him
sympathetic, he moves with his re-
covered wind for another victim for
the baptism.
If Colonel Young were not a man
of pride and beauty he would be moved
to expression of regret that upon his
return from the Spanish war he en-
listed under the standard of A B.
Cummins. There were those who did
not see the justice of another war,
but Colonel Young, with q taste OF
blood, was relentless and uncompronl-
Using. The campaign of 1901 was
fought to a successful issue, but the
following year the colonels toes show

upon. 1t soon appeared to the sentl-
nels of the Cummins camp that the
colonel was not standing pat 1t soon
developed that he was the header of a
mutiny. In the wisdom of the Polk
county cabinet 1t was thought neces-
sary to duck him, and such violence
to his finery sank deep into his heart.
When he made his escape and had
changed his apparel he Travelled far
east, under such generosity as is left
to surmse. In the course of days
he sat at the feet OF the American
Protective Tariff League. and he was
fed with spoon at the hand of w.
f.. Wakenan. On his return he wore
plume, and his cry was that all
tariff -rippers" should be given the
CAST and shiver of the unfortunate
McGinty.
When Judge Prouty, the whi1om

peared as a candidate for congress, sup
ported sympathetieal1y by his other and
older friend, the governor, the hero of
the Spanish war ran aftser them twain
with pins and jabs. his face contopted;
and when Capt. Hull had proved him
the better man, the colonel lifted him
self to his full stature, expanded his
manly chest and invited the attention
of the state to his size as an Indian. In
the succeeding county convention the
COLONEL read the resolutions in deep
voice.
