weeks.
w. S. Bingham, the cotton
buyer, who has been here the past

it having gone out during the past
week.
A traveller who passed through
a small English town noticed a
post on which was marked the
height to which the river had been
during a recent food.
Do You mean to say" he asked
native, that the river rose as
high as that in 1872"
oh, no." replied the native,
but the village children used to
rub off the original mark, so the
mayor ordered it to be put higher
up so as to be out of their reach.

Capt. Peterson will be in charge of
he Olga, and expects to make
regular trips between the two
points named.
Parties here from Ksrnes and
Goliad counties in quest of cotton
pickers, say bumper crops of both
corn and cotton have been raised
in that section this season. The
boil weevil, which has created such
havoc the past few years, have not
damaged the cotton crop this year
at all. The yield of cotton will
range from a third of bale to a
bale per acre. 1t is a repetition of
the 1900 crop, and the good price
received makes cotton once more
king. The supply of pickers is
very limited, and the Brownsville
country is being drawn upon
heavily to gather the crop.
There is a very bad practice be-
ing INDUCED in by some of the
citizens of Brownsville, which
should be stopped at once. That
is the throwing of loose paper and
other trash on the streets and side
walks. The cutters are full of pa
per and the view is not very in
viting TO those who believe in
cleanliness. II is an easy matter
to collect waste paper and place it
in boxes and barrels so it may be
carted away when the scavengers
make their rounds. THE HERALD
does not pretend to say who is to
blame for so much loose paper,
but hopes it will not be necessary
to call attention to the matter
again.
Among the passengers out this
morning a HERALD man noticed
S. p. Silver, of ST. Louis, who |
was on his way to Corpus Christi
for a short visit. Mr.. Silver is a |
representative of the company |
which recently purchased the Cap
asalla and Llano Crande lands
above Brownsville. The gentle
man has been here several weeks |
looking over these lands for the
purpose of expediting work when
the engineer arrives, which will be
in the near future. Mr.. Silver was
not in a position to give any in
formation as to his company's in
tentions with regard to these lands.
but it is quite likely some i'm
portant work will be inaugurated |
some time this year.
THE HERALD acknowledges a
very pleasant call by ]. NJ. Hughes,
of Paterson, N. j., WHO is trav-
cling representative of Doan's Kid
ney Pills. Mr.. Hughes visited
Brownsville in 1888 on a pleasure
tour, and says the trip then was
somewhat different to conditions
now. He finds many changes
since his first visit, and says he
has often regretted that he did not
become a resident of the Lone Star
state. He is inclined TO feel that
opportunity knocked at his door
then and he failed to respond.
THE HERALD begs to call the gen
tleman's attention to the fact that
il is never too late to mend and
there are still many opportunities
here only waiting to be taken adj
vantage o.
THE HERALD is sorry to learn

In Wisconsin, which was approved by
the governor April %, 1906. and will
doubtless prove Of interest to many Of
your readers.
THE bill was drafted by DIR. A. $,
Alexander, professor Of veterinary sell
ence and horse breeding In the college
Of agriculture. and introduced by Sen
ator George Wylie. 1t is framed on
lines similar to those OF an act now IN
force in the Northwest Territory OF
the Dominion of Canada. and is, so fur
as we are aware, the frst legislation Of
the kind enacted In the United States.
"'rhe passage of this act is AZ impor-
tant step In d propaganda recently
commenced by this college for the ad-
vancement Of horse breeding In Wj3-
consin. The purport of the act is to
necessitate the Standing Of stations for
what they actually are as regards
breeding. and to weed out as far as
possible. sires that are notably un-s
sound. 1t Will not deprive any man Of
the right to stand q stallion that Is OF
grade or CROSS breeding, but will COM
pei him to disclose the true breeding OF
the horse to the owners Of mares.
"Jt Is expected that the effect of this
new law will be to encourage the use
Of sound. pure bred, pedigreed sires
and lead to the more general recording
Of eligible colts. while at the Same
time, discouraging the use OF unsound,
grade Scrub" and cross bred sires.
THE act will not take effect until
January /, 1906. so that in the interim
owners OF stations may prepare to
meet It's requirements"

Kentucky Hospitality.


A representative in Washington tells
thi story to illustrate "the strenuous
life" as it exists in certain parts Of
Kentucky:
A well-to-do farmer once invited an
acquaintance from a neighboring town
to dine with him. The recipient of this
courtesy was man we'll known in that
region for his general crankiness and
his propensity to use his gun at the
least evidence of what he considered
an affront The farmer, we'll aware OF
the LONELINESS of his guest, with whom
for business reasons, he desired to re-
main on good terms, always kept q
wary eye on his visitor.
One afternoon the testy individual
in conversation with his host, remark
ed II can't account for the queer feel
ings and impulses that come over me
at times Do you know the first time
took dinner here had as much as
could do to master the impulse wher
one of your sons made certain re-
mark, to whip out my gun and lei
kgo."
oh, don't you worry about that
said the farmer. II know all about
your little failing In that line My son
Jake was standing in the hallway just
back of you with shotgun. You did
we'll to change your mind. At the frs,
motion toward your hip pocket, my
son Jake had instructions to blow day
light thru you"

DAIRY TALK.
Mr.. FowIor's Second Letter Deals
Further With Mich Cows.

Times Republican, My article OF
April IL was n comparison of the two
extreme conditions we find In dairy
cows. III Is often the case that with
some farmers--lnd all daii'ymen III
Iowa are farmers--the dairy Is carried
on as u mere side issue endeavor to be
as they would term 1t, saving. ] call 1t
ignorance and hecdlessness. s;tarve an
animal and call 1t economy. call 1T
wastefulncss. for he loses the use of
his animal whether 1t Ia to be mar
kctcd or dairy COW. TO feed Il good
dairy COW is just investing feed for
profit Nothing invested nothing
gained. and as the world does not
stand still therefore nothing gained,
something must be lost, Starvation
and poor shelter weakens COW con-
additionally.
A COW that Is permitted, or rather
forced. to go dry In the fail and then
poorly wintered Will not give milk en-
ough to pay for the grass she eats
during the summer.
Man was made first. 9Ie then Is q
sub-creator OF the COW, and she is
Just what her creator permits her to
be- and we often find this creator
to be of the Eighty kind and he i'm
AGNES because butter is and has been
high for some time. that 1t Ia just the
kind OF business he would like. He
has no cows, but rushea out to buy
and he picks up everything that looks
like COW expecting - build up a
large and profitable business. These
pick-ups have been kept by their for
mer owner just to raise calves
and right here let me say no Iowa
farmer can afford to keep Il COW for
the sole purpose Of getting calf un-
less she be fine blooded COW. When
hts cows come fresh they commence
to bawl for their calves. They chase
up and down the fence trying to find
finally plunge into the wire fence, cuts
teats When owner finds how she Is
with her calf the calf has got all the
milk It's mother has and that was not
very much. he Is mad; calls the dog, the
dog Is Il very fierce one, yet very In
telligent. for he knows just what his
master wants OF him. He goes right
after the COW as II to eat her. She Is
frightened. plunges down thru the Or
chard and is finally cornered by the,
dog. She lunges thru the wire fence
and escapes by going to the extreme
lower end of pasture. But she has not
forgotten her calf and Is soon ready
to repeat her former action.
This man gets disgusted with dairy
Ing and sells his cows. He Is intelligent
enough to be n good dairyinan, but he
never made study of 1t, and there
fore did not know the requirements
and the above illustration is no un-
common occurrence.
In my next article we will ,.ove a
different picture OF true and .--.el-
llgent way OF doing.

THE BUFFALO IN IOWA.
IHampton Record.l

ll1uU1ptOU INeCOIa.I
Some of the newspapers are discuss
ing the question as to whether the
buffalo ever inhabited Iowa or not,
many denying that any herds of those
animals were ever found here, and one
man, In the southern part OF the state,
going so far as to declare that he Will
give $40 for proof that the buffalo ever
were here In a wild state. We do not
know whether or not there are any
residents of Franklin county now liv-
ing here who actually saw buffalo on
our prairies, but we have talked with
several of our pioneers, now passed
away who assured us that they saw
buffalo here in herds In 1852, 1893 ana
1854. and it is we'll established that the
late Judge Reeve killed several during
the winter OF 1929, and we presume
that the older members OF his family
remember the fact. During the first
years of the residence of the writer
in this country he engaged somewhat
in surveying. land looking, etc. and
came across buffalo skeletons. includ-
ing the skulls, and horns, so often as
TO excite no particular notice. There
we're scattering specimens in the
northwestern counties of the state as
late as 1S67-6S, and few We're seen
in Lyon county in 1872. In short the
fact that all of the prairie portion OF
Iowa was a feeding ground for but-
falo can. be as easily proved as the
fact of the adoption of the state consti-
| tuition.

LAW AND ORDER FIRST.

When the strikers committee met
the president yesterday to protest
against possible interference with the
strike by the use of federal troops IL
received an answer essentially Roose-
yeltian and In line with good govern
ment and the sentiment OF the couh-
try. Disclaiming any accurate knowi-
edge Of the situation In Chicago and
that any request had been made to
him for United States troops he very
plainly gave the strikers to under
stand that the way to avoid the IN
reference 1t so much fears Is to re-
frain from violence and riot and keep
order. To Mr.. Shea, president OF the
international brotherhood OF team
sters, the president said:
am n believer in unions. ] am an
honorary member of one union. But
the union must obey the law just as
the corporation must obey the law,
lust as every man. rich or poor. must
obey the law. As yet no action has
been called for by me, and most GER
tainly II action is called for by me
shall try to do exact Justice under the
law to every man, so far as nave
power. But the first essential Is the
preservation Of law and order, the sup
preston Of violence by mobs or indi-
,yiduals.
The president defines the position
OF every thoughtful and unbiased citi-
zen when he puts law and order above
all privileges. Few deny the right OF
men to organize for their own bet
ter1nent or to refuse to work. The
strike is generally conceded as a leglt-
innate act of organized labor as the
closing of factory is legitimate by
It's owners and managers. But Mr..
Roosevelt says what the country Is
saying when he denies physical force
a place in the argument between en-
ployers and employed. And when he In
Inmates that an appeal by the mayor
OF a great city or the governor of a
state for the restoration Of order and
the protection of the public will bring
federal troops, his attitude Will be
generally approved. The country has
sickened of Instruction.
The tone Of the presidents answer
leaves little doubt that If he consid-
ers such action necessary to the main
tenance Of order that the troops at
Fort Sheridan Will be used for the
purpose. In this there Is no distinc-
ton made between strikers and strike
breakers. The law will be upheld
against anarchy and violence and riot
be abated without regard to private
auarrels or contracts. And that is
precisely what the people wish to see
Evening times-Republican. [volume] (Marshalltown, Iowa) 1890-1923, 1905-05-11

prominent business men to appear be-
fore the senate committee and tes-
tify, nominaly in behalf OF the public,
that no rate legislation is needed. A
president of an eastern road has WITT
ten to we'll known business man in
Central Iowa asking him to appear be-
fore the committee. Said Iowa man
has received many favors from his
railroad friend and feels under obliga-
tons. He Is now in New York City
In conference to see whether he can
toll the committee what his railroad
friend wants told and still not violate
his own conscience. This mornings
papers announce that the independent
lumber men of the state have wired
Governor Cummins. who appears be-
Mr.. E'lnkbne, of Des Moincs, did not
represent their views. Finlbine runs
"a number Of line lumber yards and owl
IDENTIFY gets favors from the railroads
which makes him view the rate ques-
ton differently than the independents
see IL. The same papers tell of II. s.
Rand. "a lumber merchant Of Burl-
ington who will appear before the
committee against the bill" This is
going on all over the United States
and is used to justify the conclusion
as General Manager Day expresses it,
"a hopeful indication that this dam
ger may he avoided is found In the
revision of sentiment which Is now
occurring aud the more marked ten
dency Oh the part Of business men to
inquire very carefully into existing
law and present conditions before
adopting new legislation"
And the number of these so-called
representative business men taking
the railroad side of the argument
would look like revision of sentiment
IL not understood. On the other hand
about the only champions for the
rights of the people are the press.
and courageous public men like Roosc-
welt and Governors Cummins and La
Toilette.
