RAISING DAIRY COWS.

II dairymen would depend upon rails
Ing their dairy animals themselves the
result would be much more satisfac-
tory. as rule. than to buy from stock
men or spectators in a haphazard
way any ''pickups" that are offered.
In order to begin right. calves should
be selected whose grandams OF both
SIDES had good record ut the pail or

hope that the calf will evolve into q

food and energies into furnishing an.
abundance of milk; but If the aim be
cream or butter we do not care wheth
or the amount of milk be large or
small. so 1t yields a proper amount Of

But If the dairyman deems the rear

as a result gives only Indifferent treat

own cows: for q stunted calf is a pitt

Race Suicide AGAIN

The other day when Dr.. Benjamin
Andrews warned society that culture
was becoming obscured and that there
were dark ages ahead he declare,
among other things, that there was
no fear that our population was too
email. but much that ii was losing
virility He said he hoped that Pres.
ident Roosevelt would take early oc-
casion to amend his plea for swell
ing the census, by urging quality OF
population as more to be desired than
number, thus undoing a little of the
inca,culab!e evil his recent words on
this subject have wrought among the
poor and thoughtless DR.. Andrews
seems somewhat over-confident abOu.
this evil that has been done EXhor-
tation is not a lasting means of pro
ducing a rapid increase of population
Hard facts, like the cost of mainte-
nance, may be trusted to check any
such tendency before it has become al:
evil, calculabe or otherwise.-Harper's

FARM NOTES.

Paint all the buildings and tools.
and thus keep out the moisture and
double the life of the woodwork.
When you get a new brush hold it
with the hair end up and the handle
down, spread out the bristles and pour
in spoonful of good varnish, allowing
it to become dry. This has 4 tendency
to prevent the brush shedding its bris-
ties when it is used, and also keeps it
from shrinking and falling to pieces.

act is step toward imperial fedora
ton. 1t is taken in connection with
the movement which gives tariff
preference to the products of coun-
| tries within the British empire.
Nations which open their coasting
trade to British ships are not exclud-

Problem For The Corn Belt Meat Men

Those Iowa corn belt meat pro-
ducers who went to Chicago to try
to patch up the strike came back
disappointed. Instead of catering
to Chicago, they might help to build
up packing plants in Iowa. There
is no reason under the sun why
every farm in the state of Iowa
should feel dependence upon few
big packing plants in Chicago. Let
them declare their independence by
helping to build up packing plants
in Iowa, and the way to help build
up those plants is to patronize the
home plants when the farmers have
stock to sell. 1t often happens that
a farmer shipping stock will take
his cattle or hogs to Chicago in
order to get pass to and from that
city to see the sights. There are
plenty Of such instances that can be
cited by every stock shipper.
The strike in Chicago ought to
impress on Iowa stockmen the wis
dom of building up plants-.-s. their
own midst. Places like Cedar Rap
ids, Ottumwa, Des Moines and
Sioux City now have large pork
packing plants and they kill a great
many cattle incidentally. But nine
tenth Of all the hogs raised in Iowa
might as well be killed in this state
and forwarded to market in the
finished state. That is the way tc
bring the greatest prosperity to the
state. 1t is worth considering even
on the part of the corn belt meat
producers who have been working
along Il great many lines, but moi
always along the right lines. Las
winter, for instance, they spent ;
great deal of time in seeing how
they could get Iowa live stock tt
Chicago to the greatest advantage
They ought rather to have devoted
some time to seeing how not tt
get Iowa live stock to Chicago at al
but how to finish the Iowa product o
the farms in the Iowa packing
houses.-Cedar Rapids Republican

We are satisfied that more winter
wheat should be raised in Iowa than
is the case at present. Winter wheat
yields more per acre than does spring
wheat, and even if a crop out of
every four or five should freeze out,
the farmer would be a great deal
better off than if he raised spring
wheat. Corn, or some other late
crop, can always be put in on winter
wheat ground should the crop kill
out during the winter and thus the
use of the land would NOT be lost.
