TINE SHIPPERS RETURN PASS.

The experiment of Withholding return
passes from livestock shippers has
failed and the roads will return to the
old custom. 1t met such determined OPP
position from the shippers and resulted
In such a powerful organization of the
livestock interests of the country that
sshe roads awoke to the fear of reprisal
both annoying and dangerous. The
farmers were in earnest They resented
the withdrawal of necessary privileges
from the mass of stock shippers to re-
venge the trafficking in passes by a
few individuals. The arrogance of the
step reused the resentment of the
shippers as much as the added expense
OF the trip home. The railroads have
Gcted wisely in returning to the old
time custom of return passes.
The contest has been a good thing
for the farmers. 1t has taught them
the effectiveness of organization and
the ease with which 1t may be effected.
The renewal of passes will scarcely
satisfy the Corn Belt Meat Producers
Association now. There are questions
Of time and shrinkages to be argued and
adjusted and the association having felt
It's power Is likely to prove insistent of
further reform.

no long wagon trains. Rice, dried fish
making are packed in their knapsacks.
Even when provided with rations for
several days the japanese are not over
weighted with the burden they carry.
The fact Is, the Jap at home in time
of peace, or the Jap in the field in time
of war; would scarcely be accounted an
epicure from western point of view
His diet is simple in the extreme. Fish
is the staple article of food in Japan.
Raw fish is a luxury. When the Jap
stays away from his native islands for
a few years however. ne usually ac-
writer referred to above recalls the case
of Japanese friend who returned home
after long absence abroad. He tried
several times to regale himself on I'M
cooked fish. Each time he was made
sick. Civilization had cured him of the
habit. AT the date of the revolution In
1S6S-69, there was not a pound of meat
or flesh food of any kind in Japan, no
milk, butter or cheese. Potatoes, cab
bages and tomat toes We're unknown;
there were only a few flavorless and
acrid fruits and n few common vege-
tables. There was time, before Bud
Ghism was introduced into Japan, when.
according to tthe Sunday Magazine the
Japanese were both hunters and fisher
men, when they lived to a large extent
on the products of the chase-wild
boars deers monkeys, ares and pleas
ants. But Buddhism interdieted kill
ing and the Jap gave up the chase and
also the rearing of domestic animals
for food He learned however from the
Buddhist missionaries, how to grow
rice, wheat and other cereals and GER
tain egetables-radishes. turnips.
onions ana cusumbers.

those committing the United States 10

with Cuba. Its great legislative ac-
complishment was that pertaining to

the Cuban treaty, the canal treaty, Cen
eral Woods confirmation. the Bristow
report and democratic buncombe at
tacks on the administration for CAM
paign purposes the congress has no,
failed Of liveliness as well.
The only pension law passed was the
one giving those who totally lost their
sight In the military or naval service
800 month. Legislation directly af-
fecting the labor interests of the coun7
try received consideration in the com-
mittees Of the two houses. but final ac-
ton was not taken. The eight hour Dill
was referred and the anti-injunction
hill was postponed.
The house, by independent action.
directed an investigation of the alleged
~beef trust. by the department of COM
merce and labor. The attorney general
was given the benefit of the unexpend-
ed appropriation made by the last con-
gress for the prosecution of the trust,
an amount aggregating $4,000. The
creation of two additional states In the

CUES HISTORY OF IOWA.

The long awaited History of Iowa
by Benjamin Cue. has issued from the
presses Of the Century History Com
pany Of New York City. The work
8 is In four volumes OF about 400 pages
each, profusely and appropriately IL
Illustrated with cuts of typical Iowa
scenes and historical personages and
places. A perusal Of the work shows
the careful and investigating spirit in
which the author approached and COM
pleted his task. He has made a faith
full picture OF the development OF the
state and its part in the development
OF the nation and has done this in a
style as simple as it is absorbing.
From the traditions of the anti-his
toric period down thru the early dis
covery. he carries his reader past the
pioneer settlements and physical con-
quest of the prairie. 60 the close of the
nineteenth century. Iowa statesmen,
citizens and soldiers, the progress OF
education, invention, manufacture and
civil government; the history of polit-
teal parties, historical sketches OF Iowa
counties, establishment Of county
seats and complete directory of Iowa
public officials territorial, state AMI
national, from the establishment of
civil government to the twentieth
century, are some of the extremely
valuable features of the work. A VOL
ume Of biographical sketches Of more
than 400 Iowa men and women. who
have done their share in the develop
ment of the state, is invaluable to the
student of Iowa history and its biog-
raphy. which is its best history.
Mr.. Cues history is cyclopedic. II
should be part OF every public school
and private library in the state. II
has deserved all the high praise ac-
corded it by legislative resolution ans
individual and press Endorsement.

A Home Th,u.t.

There is good story told about the
late Henry Bergh. While walking
about the streets of New York city one
morning he saw teamster whipping a
balky horse.
stop that, you brute he exclaimed.
''or I'll have you locked up inside of
five minutes! Why don't you try kind
ness on the animal? Don't you sup
pose horse can be reached by kind
word the same as human being?"
II blieve ye're right, sor," replied
the teamster, a quick witted Irishman,
who, with all his faults of temper, was
not a bad man at heart, "an' il a harse
has feehn's, sor, don't We s'pose his
dhrivcr has too? Thry koind word
on the dhriver, if We phase"
The stern face of Mr. Bergh relaxed
into smile, and in the better under
standing that followed the horse for

A Topic for Attention.

The more -, as its direct connection
with rural interests might not be evil
dent at first thought, is the proposal
embodied in III. r. bill 1902 now in the
ways and means committee) to remove
the tax on alcohol rendered undrink-
able by the addition of repulsive chem
icals The advantage to farmers would
be double. The change would result
in a large increase in the production
of alcohol, to the benefit of every man
who raises the grains from which 1t is
distilled: and the great reduction in
the price of the spirit would permit Its
use on farms for driving engines and
similar purposes, which would be an
immense benefit. Oranges everywhere
will do we'll to adopt resolutions and
send them to Washington From the
farmers point of view, there Is only one
side to the question.

Demand for prafters.

A cursory review of the horse indus
try shows that draft horses increase IN
demand in proportion as they improve
in weight and quality The Industrial
consumption for the best draft horses
despite mechanical traction. increases
faster than the supply, and so urgent
is the demand that farmers are realiz-
ing the highest prices current In a
score Of years. Big industrial corpor-
ations pay extravaganza prices for big
draft horses, as the demand Is far
greater than the supply. The farmer
with good grade and well bred draft
mares, with skill In breeding 10 the
best draft stations, is sure of high
prices for the next few years for his
colts as fast as they mature, and these
big drafters have wonderful early
maturity. The merchants. manufac-
turers, packers and brewers are buying
them young and maturing them upon
easy work. Where they can find the
good heavy drafts with fine confornla-
ton and action, they pay a premium to
get them. There never was such
demand for heavy draft geldfngs
Prices are higher than ever before and
must be until the supply can be In
creased. The only remedy for this is
for farmers to breed more vigorously
to raise more draft horses, as these high
prices should encourage production:
not merely raise more horses. but raise
the big heavy draft horses and large
handsome coachers to suit the world j
best markets. Home markets are now
better than the export trade, as in
dustrial America Is growing as never
before and these business draft horses
constitute the first equipment and as
prosperity develops the beautiful
ooachers are in greater demand.

Bacon Hoos.

Prime bacon hogs can be grown as
we'll or better in this country than
anywhere in the world. and if there is a
demand for leaner bacon hogs they
will be forthcoming. 1t need not be
expected, however, that feeders will
take the pains the Danish, English or
Cana dian feeders do, fussing with
ground stuff of different sort without
getting equal compensation. The pea.
rye, barley and shorts fed hogs are
calculated to be worth close to 2 cents
per pound more on the hoof than corn
fed bacon hogs, and if that Dis true
packers will have to make up their
minds 10 give at least 81 per 100 pre-
MUM on that class of stock to gst 1t.
Peas. barley. rye and mixed grains are
as easily raised in this country as corn,
but corn feeding is the simplest and
easiest method of hog feeding, and
therefore, much cheaper here than any
other kind

Value Of BARNARD Manure.

The real value OF the accunrula tons
in the barnyard Is beginning to be APP
preciated. We have farmer readers
who have said to us that they didn't
believe much in barnyard manure.
They believed 1t made their land too
rich" We really never have seen any
land that was too rich. 1t might be
too rich for a particular crop il high
ly MANFRED, but If the manure is APP
piled where it belongs, in alton,
there is no danger OF land ever getting
too rich. It might make land too rich
for an oat crop to manure dt heavily,
because it would make too rank a
growth Of straw, but there's the grass
land that always needs just the Kind OF
growth that is objectionable in case OF
oats. Put the manure where 1t be-
longs. and no farm ever makes TOO
much of it. While the manure pile IS
beginning to be appreciated, there are
a great many who do not know Its real
value. They do not appreciate the fact
that if 1t is put in the right place It
means Increased yields. and returns far
exceeding the cost OF application. Inc
reason why there is failure to ap-
preciate the value of the barnyard ac-
cnmu!atsons is because farmers have
been for a long time accustomed to a
very rich and comparatively virgin soil.
bnt there never was soil SO rich that
It would not wear out by continuous
cropping without any returns being
made to 1t. Every comparatively ne"
country de slow to learn this. 1t has
the Accommodations of centuries, per-
hans. to draw upon. Eastern farmers
had these accumulations, too, and so
aid those of the south, but in both sec
lions commercial fertilizers are now be-
ING nsed at a cost that would throw

STAGE LIGHTS.


CIas3r Various Uses and the Names
by Which They Are known.
Lights play an important part on
the stage of the modern theater, and
they have many uses. The spot light,
for instance. is employed to cast a cir
Gle of light upon the stage where sin
gle person is to be brought into espe
cial prominence. 1t consists of an arc
electric light inclosed in a cylindrical
hood about the diameter of stove
pipe and provided at the open end
with condenser lens fer the purpose
Of concentrating the rays upon small
area
A flood light is an arc in rectangu-
lar box painted white upon the inside
to serve as reflector. 1t is supposed
to flood the stage with light; hence it's
name
Bunch lights are clusters Of gas or
incandescent lights either arranged
within a reflector or exposed naked.
They are used back OF a scene behind
doorways, where light is needed of
the stage to represent the illumina-
ton of that part of dwelling not
shown. For the same purpose strip"
lights are used-rows of incandescent
lights fastened to strip Of wood pro-
vided with hook, by which it may
be hung to the back Of a scene when
required.
side" lights are incandescent lights
arranged on either side OF the prosce
mum arch. Sometimes they are built
within the arch or they are arranged
to be swung outward when the cur
tain is raised.
The footlights are familiar to all,
and the border lights are those hung
over the stage directly above the seen
cry. shutting off the top of the stage.
These are arranged in trough like an
