Pointers on Road Dragging.

An Indiana travelling man says: II
spent month a year ago travelling
over this state. A considerable por-
ton of the more important highways
are surfaced with broken stone or
gravel. These roads have, many of
them, been carelessly built, and the
stone roads are proving expensive to
maintain. Two mistakes are respon-
sible for this: First, where macadam is
used the stone is not screened thor
oughly, and, second, no roller is used.
Water runs thru like sieve, and by
the time the stone begins to cement
or bind the surface is worn into three
long troughs, and the edges of the road
are highest. The drag will be tried on
some Of these rock roads / believe
a heavy drag will gradually get them
into shape, but the Improvement will
be slow.
Broken stone should be screened.
The various sizes should be put down
in layers, and each layer rolled with
heavy roller. The whole should be
finished with thin coat of stone dust.
If this layer Of dust can be sprinkled
and rolled the surface will be almost
impervious to water; will not rut or
creep under heavy wagons. and the

HANDLING FAT CATTLE.
An object Lesson by Minnesota Asri-
cultural College.


The grand champion steer of the IN
ternational live stock exposition OF
1904. winner over all breeds and all
ages, and classes, Clear Lake Jute, IL,
an Aberdeen Angus 2-year-old, was
sold by the Bowles live stock commas
sion company in the public auction on
Friday. December 2, at $36 per nun
dredweight to the United Dressed Beer
Company of New York. The price Cd
tanned for this steer was STU hlgner
per hundredweight than that obtained
for the grand champion steer OF the IN
ternational live stock exposition IN
1903. Jute's weight was 1,s7O POUNDS
and the price, S3s per hundredwe1sht,
figured up s673.20 for the Minnesota
agricultural college of st. Anthony
Park. Mimi, the owner, Mr.. john +.
Bowles, president of the Bowles live
stock commission company personally
acted as auctioneer in the sale OF this
steer and the bidding was spirited from
the beginning. The first bid. 50 per
hundredweight was followed by rapid
advances until finally the bidding mar
rowed down between Wellington Lea
witt. buyer for Swift, & Co., and Ike
Blumenthal, president of the United
Dressed Beef Company of New York.
Mr.. Leavitt stopped at bid OF $50,
and the steer was finally knocked down
to Mr.. Blumenthal at $36. A great
cheer arose from the crowd at the ring
side as Clear Lake Jute, II. was driven
to the scales. The sale was notable
from the fact that since the famous
sale Of Advance, made by the Bowles
ctn icS io of 41kn
per hundredweight, in the international
live stock exposition Of 1900, the prices
for the champion steers have each year
been lower than the preceding one,
until the sale Of Jute this year stem
med the time and brought price SO
per hundredweight higher than the
champion of 1903 This steer was GER
tainly a model of its kind, and great
credit is due to all concerned in the
handling of it, especially to those con-
nected with the Minnesota agricultural
college in the persons of Dean Liggett,
whose wisdom and foresight in buying
this steer as a calf with great out
come is apparent, and Professor Boss,
the head of the department Of animal
husbandry, who directed the handling;
also Mr.. George Craig, the herdsman,
and a graduate Of this college, who had
Jute under his personal care from the
time he became the property Of the.
college, until after he had passed into
the possession of the United Dressed
Beef Company Of New York City,
where Mr.. Craig accompanied Jute on
his last journey. This steer was the
center Of attraction in the big cattle
pavilion and was viewed by thousands
Of admiring visitors, the daily attend
ance at the show averaging about TO-
900. The Minnesota college certainly
presented an object lesson in the hand
ling of fat cattle to the sons of stock
men and farmers that was appreciated
by them as well as by all agricultural
students and the public at large.

anybody was a fool who found fault
with it. Then on January 16 Cum
Minis was inaugurated and in his ad-
dress said: 'If we can make a trade
that will enlarge our markets; that
is to say, increase the amount Of work
to be done in the United States, the
trade should be made, even tho some
particular industry is curtailed in its
production. Reciprocity that takes
without giving is an idle dream and
contradiction in terms"
Five days after that the Babcock bill
being up in congress some Washing
ton correspondent interviewed the Iowa
congressman on the subject. Lacey,
Hedge and Hepburn were unalterably
opposed to touching the tariff at any
time Haugen admitted that he be-
lieved the schedules were too high on
many articles and favored reduction,
suggesting reciprocity as way of re-
ducing without disturbing business.
Hull said that he intended to support
the Babcock bill, but preferred to cor
rect the iron and steel schedules only.
He then believed republicans should
do the revising before the democrats
tore the Dingley law all to, pieces. And,
strangest Of all in view of later his
tory, Cousins was inclined to the opin-
ion that reciprocity treaties might be
framed equalizing the tariff on highly
protected articles, obviating serious OBJ
jections and at the same time causing
no apprehension on the part OF COM
mercial interests"
II Walter Wellman had never coined
the phrase "Iowa Idea" nor credited
it all to Cummins there might never
have been even controversy as to
tariff changes among Iowa republicans
With Hull for revision, Cousins for re-
ciprocity, LATE defending the shelter
plank on the one side and Cummins
favoring reciprocity in his inaugural

was dangerous democratic doctrine.

A DECENT REVIVAL.

The headline is used purposely. And
this, for the past few weeks there has

dist minister, the other churches JOIN

the sensationalism Of Evangelist Jones,
the vulgarity Of Sunday and his ilk,
these meetings have been successful
insofar as a crowded church and a
big audience go towards awakening re-
ligious interest. These meetings will
probably close this week, and the ef-
feet of then in ltarsha,ltoMn will he
beneficial and lasting.
The feeling left in the churches
themselves is most friendly. It has not
been found necessary to draw crowd
by using vulgar language under the
name Of plain talk. And all this by no
means implies a lack Of rigor or a
lack Of severe criticism of open evils
in Marshalltown. Last Sunday night
especially, q spade was called a spade,
but it was not addressed to "nler.
only" Such severe arraignment Of
the glazing, outrageous offenses
against law, order and morals in our
city, is bound to awaken public inter-
est sufficiently strong to cure the
community, in a greater or lesser de-
gree, of some of these offences to-
wards society and Christianity.

transforming radish into a potato. M.
Molliards method, briefly described in
popular terms, is this:
He takes a very young radish,
"Pasteurizes' it In a certain way, and
1t grows UP into a fine potato. More
scientifically, the young radish is cul-
tivated into glass retort, after pro-
cess invented by Pasteur, in concen-
trated solution of glucoseS Starch then
develops plentifully in the cells of the
radish, which swells out, loses it's pep
periness, and acquires practically the
consistency, flavor, and especially the
nutritive properties, Of the potato. 1t
is not claimed that the latter vegetable
will be at once superseded or that 1t
will yet be cheaper to change radishes
into potatoes than to cultivate the lat
ter in the ordinary way. But NJ. Mol
liard's discovery is regarded as one
which may have far reaching conse-
quences. He may have, to some ex-
tent found the philosophers stone" Of
