WHERE SHALL THEY LEARN7

"A few days ago a Waterloo paper
told of farmer living in the neighbor-
hood who had no use for newspapers.
He fears their influence upon his chill
dren. "One of the Waterloo papers
found its way into our home q couple of
weeks ago and when / saw the big
black headlines relating to Frank Mil
ier's conviction and rehearsing the
story of his crime you better believe
! snatched the paper out of the hands
of my children and stuck 1t in the
stove" said the gentleman. Il do not
propose to have my folks reading any
family do not know what Frank NIL
Ter was arrested for and / do not pro-
rose to tell them. When they ask
where Mr.. Miller is, we reply that he
was taken to Waterloo for some
trouble and that is all we say about
It."
farmers views on newspapers the same
paper contained a pitiful story Of a
young girl deceived and deserted in
Waterloo. She had been brought there
under promise of marriage by villain
from her home in Webster City. He
left her TO secure the marriage license
and never came back. The girl had
traded her trust for disgrace and
ruined life. The two stories have en-
obvious connection. Even newspaper
knowledge of the world might have
saved the girl. Her evident ignorance
of the villainy and libertinism lament

her ruin.
There is poise and power in know

THE JUSTICE SHOPS.

The crusade against the loan
sharks" Of Chicago has brought another
evil into prominence and the news
papers are turning their batteries upon
the petty courts in that city. The JUS
tice shop has been partner in the
plratical footing of salaried workers
and the tool OF the parasites that have
fattened upon the foolishness or eS-
tremity OF their victims. A Chicago
newspaper declares that the petty court
system of Cook county is unworthy OF
China and unfit to exist in Il civilized
community. Bribery has flourished
among them. They have grated FOR
fees. In appealing to the Illinois legis-
lature to protect the workers against
the loan sharks Judge Dunno pleaded
as a necessary and vital part of the re-
lief asked that the petty courts should
be reformed as we'll,
Chicago is not alone in this matter.
There is need OF reform in the justice
courts everywhere. Laying aside the
criminality of these courts that appears
to exist in Cook county, there Is too
much Of carelessness in the conduct of
the minor courts even in Iowa, where
too many justices fail to realize the re-
sponsibility Of their office. The Justice
courts are the vitiettes OF law and or
der. the sentries at the gates of justice.
Their responsibility is greater than that
OF the major courts. They hear 90 Der
cent OF the civil suits, conduct most of
the preliminary Investigations OF crime.
They are the range riders OF the law,
charged with the duty of keeping its
fences intact within their bailiwicks. OF
all courts the Justice shop should be
clean. 1t Is the common court OF the
common people. But the fact endures
that it is too often carelessly derelict,
and especially in criminal cases.
The Justice OF the peace is the judge
OF the propriety or necessity OF issuing
a criminal process. He issues his war
rant In protection of society. He
should also protect society by insisting
as is his manifest duty that "a criminal
information should be supplemented by
evidence against tne defendant when he
has been apprehended. The court
should not become party to the pri-
vate settlement OF crime and an in
formation once accepted should be fol-
lowed by prosecution. That thief
should return the stolen chattels and
satisfy the prosecuting witness is not
sufficient, The duty Of the justice is
plain in all such cases. He should, In
protection Of the public and defense of
the dignity OF the law. force the In
former to swear in court to what he
swore In his Information. A public Of
fee Is not to be made a private BUSH
ness The public IS less concerned over
the recovery Of the property by the
loser and the payment of costs to the
justice than 1t is in the punishment of

A NEW PRINCIPLE IN MEDICAL
SCIENCE.

For years it has been the practice OF med
ical men to treat patients suffering from piles
by local, external applications. These treat
ments give but temporary relief, but have
never affected positive cure.
After months of research and study. ac-
companied by actual experience with various
patients, Dr. c. A. Perrin arrived at posi-
tive conclusion as to the exact action OF the
various parts of the bowel system, under
different conditions, and when subjected to
various prescriptions.
He finally prepared that wonderful inter
nal remedy known as DR.. PERKINS, PILE
SPECIFIC, which is put up in bottles, retail
ing at all reliable drug stores for $1.Oo each.
This internal remedy has been on the mar
ket for the past ten years, and in all OF that
time there has been but three cases where a
positive cure has not been effected.
DIR. Perrin's Pile Specific is sold under a
positive guarantee by the druggist making
the sale, to refund the full purchase price,
providing the remedy fails to cure. This is
the absolute proof of its merit. Any man
or woman who suffers from blind, bleeding,
itching or internal piles can try this internal
remedy with the absolute certainty thai it
will cost nothing unless it cures. Here is
what one sufferer says of this wonderful
remedy:

NV. L. Hilfiker, in Farmers Guide. |
The proper curing of hay is one of
the most important points in securing
the crop. In my own experience l have
found that the more rapidly the hay
is cured. the better the hay will be.
There is a difference in the mode of
cutting and curing between clover and
timothy and as / am great friend of
clover, will take that first.
/ commence about o'clock in the
afternoon and with a six-foot machine
can cut four or five acres, according to
the size and shape of the piece, before
dark. In the morning | start the ted
der as soon as the sun has shown on
the mown hay for an hour or so, and
keep it going until the first mown hay is
cured enough to commence raking.
Then ] stop the tedder and begin rak-
ing with a side-delivery rake and use
a good loader to place it in the wagon.
Hay can be put in a good tight NOV
with so per cent of it's moisture in it,
and make the best of hay, with nice
clean, bright leaves and blossoms the
same as when cut, which should be
when the first few blossoms begin to
turn brown. Hay put in the NOV with
10 percent of foreign moisture in 1t Will
not keep good, some of it will be
spoiled when taken out. Salt sprinkled
on hay when putting in a NOW has
spoiled q great deal more hay than it
has saved Leave the two last loads in
the evening, on the wagons in the barn,
then in the morning while the dew is
on the grass they can be unloaded by
the spare hands. Also have them
sharpen the moving knives and get
things ready, SO when the time comes
to begin again on the hay, everything
will move off fast and at an advantage.
Timothy should be cut in the MORN
ing and teddered as fast as cut and by
2 o'clock the most of it can be loaded
for the barn. Try and fill the NOV
with hay as quickly as possible and
have it as near the same all over, that
Is packed the same. this makes quite
difference in getting good hay. Keep
the barn doors shut as much as possi-
BILE and keep the NOW as tight as you
can. A great amount of first class hay
has been spoiled by leaving the doors
open at night and the cool air from
outside coming in comes in contact
with the heated air from the NOW of
hay, and causes a great amount of
moisture. This settles back on the hay
and spoils 1t.

spr;no Calf Is Cheapest.

Governor S. 3. Packard Of Mar
shalltown says: For the sucking calf
on grass a ration Of corn and oats will
do the needful, and for the winter calf
before grass. a ration OF corn. oats and
oil meal equal by measure, will answer.
The separator calf has not come within
my observation. but rich rations to sup
ply the place of butter fat removed will
be needed for three or four months.
Millstuffs when prices are right. should
have a place when oilmeal is not at
hand and when calves are not on grass.
The cost of grain for a calf OH fall milk.
up to six months of age will not much
exceed $5-the equivalent of twelve and
one-half bushels of corn at 40 cents a
bushel.
The weaned calf will thrive better on
a ration of ground corn and oats than
on dry feed: bran, oilmeal or clover hay
will be needed up to twelve months.
when the calf should weigh from 1000
to 1900 pounds. The cost of the grain
for the second six months will not
much exceed $14, bringing the total cost
of the grain for the year to $19-the
equivalent Of forty-seven and one-half
bushels of corn at 40 cents.
To the grain value consumed must be
added the cost of the grass. hay and
milk The grass and hay consumed will
not exceed 81 and the milk value may
be estimated as being the cost of ma
turing the dam. The cheaper kept cows
are those dropping their calves in the
spring, since the dry COW will winter
on a good coarse ration of rich corn
slower, oat straw, millet and cane (sor-
ghum), with stock corn fed sparingly
in the coolest weather. The corn stow
er and oat straw are waste products on
most farms, and millet and sorghum
are generous crops for the land needed
to grow them, hence the COW forage is
cheaply provided.
The COW dropping her winter calf
must have a good forage and grain RAJ
ton until grass, which must be esti-
mated to increase the cost somewhat of
the winter calf. but is compensated by
the greater gain in weight for age here
tofore mentioned.
The best bred calves with generously
milking dams can be made to give 100
month of age. Any good calf should go
to the market weighing 1000 pounds
at IL months old or thereabouts, under
good conditions.
AS to the shelter in winter the calf
must have dry pen with yard shelter
ed from the winds for exercise. If
confined in a barn with other stock
great care must be taken that proper
ventilation is provided No gain from
the best feeding will be made If the
stock is breathing impure air durins
