at home. Of course, we could all
help to advertise the state, and
we do, but Mr.. Iverson could not
take US all; he had to take those
who could do the state most good
in his newspaper campaign. We
believe his selection was wisely
made. -.

itinery was not. The great north

needs most of all to have the

Army officers and members of the
w. C. II. u. are engaged In n campaign
for and against the army canteen. ana
the W. C. r. u. is likely to win be-
cause 1t holds the best hand. if not in
argument, In the power to influence
votes. Congressman who favor the re-
establishment of the canteen and
whose constituencies include any con-
siderable number of radical opponents
of the canteen are likely to look before
they leap. for the leaders of the anti
canteen movement have not failed to
inform congress that there is likely
to be broken bottles in the straw.
The army officers desire the repeal of
the anti-canteen law because. they
urge It's effect has been to increase
drunkenness, desertlon and crime
among enlisted men and generally sub
versive of discipline. The men get the
drink. Lacking the army saloon they
patronize the low groggeries that in
camps and posts. Instead Of beer and
the lighter intoxicants, they drink the
crime -inspiring decoctions dealt out by
the irresponsible proprietors of the low
Joints referred to. Every pay day Is
riot Of unrestraint and crime. Pun
ishment follows. but the men get drunk
again, and the low browed liquor setler
outside the line profits.
Drink is an evil, and drunkenness is
a wrong, but so long as the practice is
as general in citizen life and so entire
ly beyond absolute prohibition, it
seems that the army canteen is 4
wise exIedient over the present sys-
tenn. erhe enlisted mon OF the regu-
lar army are not of the most thought
ful or easily restrained class If they
were they would not be In the regu-
lar army. II, as army men point out,
the establishment of the canteen
will afford better and more wholesome
regulation of their habits, result in a
decrease OF the present overplus Of
crime and desertion. let us have back
the canteen. The entire abolition OF
drink and drinking places is a question
still under argument Regulation Of
the traffic to the best interests OF the
men affected by it, is a settled and
common sense policy. IL. as the pre-
ponderance of evidence goes to show.
the canteen provides the best present
method of such regulation. common
lishment until better and more effect

WHAT A WONDERFUL pEopLEl

Turnout the progress Of the eastern
the thorough preparedness of the Jap
anese people. America found them the
first nation that was ready with it's ex-
hibit for the st. Louis fair and when
the crowds visited that exposition, all
were struck with wonder at the magni-
tude and quality Of Japanese goods
shown there. When war became nee
essary and the world was startled by
the Japs beginning the fight, apparent
ly upon moments notice, 1t was
learned that the Japs had been prepar-
ing for many months. Their spies were
in every port; they knew just how
rusty every piece Of machinery was
in the Russian navy, they knew just
how often the Russian officers went
on drunk; they had measured every
road in Manchuria, and their engi-
neers had submitted drawings of all
the Russian Notifications. Then, when
their armies began marching thru
Manchuria, military experts the world
over were amazed at the care with
which sanitary engineers and the med
ical staff marched in advance Of the
army to inspect every camp ground,
to test the drinking water and make
chemical analyses of the food supplies,
a thing that had never before been
suggested in military operations. But
now comes to Marshalltown another
evidence of this remarkable national
trait in the Japanese people. Colonel
Horton, commandant Of the Soldiers
Home, has received a communication
from Japanese committee, asking for
a picture Of the Soldiers Home build
ings, detailed information as to the
cost and all the information and sug-
gestions the comnandant can make re-
garding the management and equip
ment of q soldiers home The war is
but begun in the orient, but the Jap
anese government has already appro-
priated 100000 yen for the establish
ment of soldiers homes in Japan and
when the war is ended 1t will not re-
quire a full generation of agitation
to secure these institutions, but the
"Johnnies" who come marching home
will find magnificent institutions al
ready built with flowers in the WIN
dows and the steam turned on.

Winter Manur,no

An Ontario farmer who believes in
spreading manure in winter gives his
reasons In the Farmers Advocate
(CanadO, as follows:
Firstly, / think manure can be APP
piled cheaper in the winter. as most
farmers are not very busy at this time
of the year, consequently their time Is
not as valuable as 1t is In the spring,
when they ought to be rushing in their
crops. Secondly, / think when the ma
nure is applied In the winter, 1t gives
the spring rains n chance to soak the
demonposed manure into the soil in
stead of washing 1t away, as some
writer's think and AFRO helps rot the
coarse manure that is left. so by the
time the land is ready to work it does
not gather under the pillow beam or clog
the cultivator teeth as 1t does when
applied In the spring. Lastly, I think,
and n large number of our best farmers
l believe, are of the same opinion, that
the fresher manure Is applied. the more
valuable 1T Is, for when 1t Is placed in a
large heap to rot part of 1t will be al
most useless by the time all Of the
heap is rotted. The reason why some
of 1t Is spoiled is that, the large heap
generates so much heat that the bot
tom and middle of the heap Is burnt
until there Is but very little fertiliz-
ing matter left In 1t.
Manure properly applied, we all
know, is very beneficial to the soil, in
asmuch as 1t supplies much of it's lost
fertility, but manure can be so applied
as to be an injury instead of a bene
fit. Always try to apply your coarse
manure to clay soils as they need
something to keep them porus as we'll
as to fertilize them. DO not apply
coarse manure to loamy soil, as 1t
keeps 1t too open, and 1t will. conse-
quently. dry out. For two years we
have applied. as soon as possible after
the ground froze up, light coat of
manure to our winter wheat. 1t keeps
the snow from being all blown off,
leaving 1t exposed and also protects
it in the early spring, as we'll as fer
tilizinR it,
when a manure spreader is used.
the manure will have to be applied af-
ter 1t freezes up in the fall. and be-
fore the snow comes"

Cattle and Sheep.

It is very surprising indeed how IN
livestock matters the pendulum swings
to and fro. Only two years ago when
beef was selling at prices extremely
high it seemed impossible at that time
to get sufficient supply, One result
of the boom referred to was a mark
ed increase in the number of animals
reared. Prices of stockers have rank
ed very low the past season, and the
sales of this class Of stock very dull
1t is different with sheep. Not very
long ago they sold relatively low. Now
the price of stockers has reached
point which should cause feeders to
move very cautiously in the matter or
purchasing, especially where consid-
cradle portion of the feed has to be
purchased at the same time for finish
ing off the animals. There would
seem to be a shortage of sheep In the
world at the present time as In many
important centers, for reasons which
are not very apparent. sheep have been
decreasing during recent years. Such
ia the case in Great Britain and Can
ada.
There is a curious tendency on the

AN ln1ERuRBAH OBJECT LESSON.

Evidence of the fallaciousness Of the
impression that interurban railways
build up big towns at the expense OF
smaller ones, continues to accumulate.
On the contrary such statistics as have
been compiled show the extreme bene-
fit derived from these lines by minor
and suburban towns and villages. The
latest figures bering on this point
come from California. Monrovia,
twenty miles from Los Angeles, had
a population of 1900 when the cleo

We'll. to the best of our knowledge
1T happened I'm this way When har-
clover. Grain was scarce and they
were apparently doing well on clover
and plenty of water, with u very little
milk. They had the rum of two fields
in one of which there WAS plenty of
water. I'm getting into the hay field 1T
was necessary to drive thru one of
the lots in which the hogs were, that
one in which the water was. The men
doing the hauling shut the pigs up i'm
the other field, without the knowledge
of the herdsman. who had been looking
after the pigs. and he was not looking
n fier them as close as he should have
done.
"rhe first knowledge that the pigs
were not having access to water was
the discovery that their troughs where
the milk was poured were filled with
sour milk, and showed very plainly
there were no pigs reaching 1T. lnves-
tigation brought out the facts that the
pigs were enclosed I'm the field without

coats were rough and they were look

then taken in hand and by vigorous eff
forts and watchfulness In ten days
they were brought back into condition.
Here was loss of nearly thirty days
taken right out of the best time of
their growth. No gains were made and
actual loss was sustained. and some
weeks were required to put them where
they were twenty-five to thirty days
previous.
"rhis is only one of the many ways
In which pigs may get out OF condi-
tion,' says a writer to the American
Swineherd. The only safe way Is to
see them every day, feed them every
day look after them carefully and keep
them in condition, growing and gain
ing. This season of the year is the
growing season. not the fattening. but
the building of frame, bone and muscle,
preparatory to putting on weight later
on.
"One of the first things to be sure
Give them some oil cake meal, or II
this cannot be secured, II little bit Of
linseed oil. See that they have plenty
of good pasture. and only small
quantity of grain, ground and fed in
slop, or else soaked, will be beneficial
in producing growth.
