Then and Now.

Fourteen years ago the State Col
lege at Ames was not of much ac.
count. There was just one student
named Wkite-and what became OF
him the Lord only knows-who was
taking the agricultural course. The
stock outfit consisted of three pigs, a
small dairy herd, a few inferior
Shorthorns and Angus, while the
horses were common plug farm
teams. Three hundred students
were taking their courses--classieal
and scientific. The outfit was the
laughing stock of the farmers of the
state, and the wisdom and propriety
os consolidating the school with the
State University was seriously en-
tertained. The editor of the Reg
lister was at Ames college Tuesday
of this week. There are 500 regu-
lar students enrolled, very large
number OF whom are taking the ag-
ricultural course; there is an attend
ance of 700 other young men who
are taking the special agricultural
short course of two weeks; the stock
outfit is made up of the best animals
to be found in the United States.
The farmers are at last proud of
their college, which enjoys not
simply statewide but a national
reputation as the best to be any
where found. State Register.

Feeding Experiments 4 Ames.

The Experiment Station Of the
Iowa State College at Ames is now
issuing a bulletin (No. 79) describ
ing the results of three experiments
in Beef Production undertaken by
the Animal Husbandry Department.
In the first of these experiments
the relative economy of feeding
light, medium and heavy grain
rations in beef production is finally
determined in favor of the heavy
grain rations, as the higher price
obtained for cattle thus fed will
more than offset the cheaper gains
made by cattle fed on light or me-
dium grain rations.
The second experiment; under
taken to determine whether cattle
from the southern. ranges would
make, in spite of change Of climate,
as satisfactory gains in our Iowa
feed lots as cattle from the western
states, has proved that southern
cattle will make gains equal to, or
greater than, the western cattle.
The third experiment, undertaken
to determine the relative value of
the following feed stuffs when given
in conjunction with corn, viz, oil
meal, cotton seed meal, gluten feed
and dried blood, lasted 1S9 DAYS,
with SO head Of cattle in each lot,
This test is detailed with tables,
showing every possible comparison
between the feed stuffs used.
This bulletin is for free distribu-
ton, and may be had by applying
to Professor Curtiss, Director Of the
Experiment Station.

Railroads and Farmers are Waking Up.

1t is apparent from statements
made by leading railroad attorneys
and others that the railroads of the
country are beginning to realize
that farmers and live stock shippers
are waking up to the fact that they
have a right to have something to
say concerning railroad rates. A
prominent railroad attorney has re.
Gently been quoted in the daily press
as saying that he believes the time
is,at hand when railroads should do
all they possibly can to satisfy the
farming interests. The tenor Of the
remarks in the presidents message
dealing with the Interstate Com
merce Commission indicates his
views on the matter, and shows, as
we have previously stated, that he is
in favor of giving the Interstate
Commerce Commission power TO
regulate rates and that their decision
shall be final until reversed by the
courts. II believe railroads are
making a serious mistake in in
augurating the campaign in opposi-
tion to legislation of any sort, was
recently stated by prominent rail
road attorney to the Associated Press.
Legislation is bound to come. can
see it with my eyes half closed; Just
as soon as the people get awakened
and clamor for Legislative action and
then the railroads may not be in as
favorable condition to suggest a
basis or to cooperate in the framing
Of legislation as at present. Let the
matter be taken up by congress and
considered in all its phases, and the
speedier this can be accomplished
the better for all concerned"
If the above statement represents
the feeling of the railroad corpor-
ations ii is evident that they realize

Miss sIilIiner,n r,xin..

Sometimes, but not often, the sex
elusive New York milliner is caught
mapping. One of the smartest of these
on Fifth avenue not long ago sold Il
hat to one of her customers who lived
in the western part of New York. The
milliner declared the hat could not be
duplicated in this country; that she
had brought 1t over from Paris and
would not make another like 1T for any
price.
The woman bought the hat on those
conditions, for she had weakness for
individual things. She has n sister who
lives in Boston and who also patronIzes
the same shop, though the relationship
is not known to the milliner. The 9TH

and the first thing they did was to

He does not own a share of stock,

that the men and women who

as lightly as he deals in nickels are
having rather a troublesome time OF

which used to be confined to the

The New York Evening Post is
conducting a non-partisan investi-
cation to ascertain the sentiment OF
the country in regard to tariff re-
vision. One thousand inquiries
we're directed to as many national
notables. whose names and addresses
were taken from the latest issue OF
Who's Who in America" The
names were selected alphabetically,
with no omissions or additions and
with no regard to residence, political
affiliation or occupation. The
answers are now being published in
the Post. The result so far shows
1856 out of 2O9 in favor of tariff re-
vision.
The answers already published
are from men whose names begin
with the first two letters Of the
alphabet. Several Iowans have thus
far been heard from. Mondays is
sue of the Post contains the reply
of Ex-Governor Horace Boies. The
questions propounded to him, as to
all those interrogated, were as fol-
lows:
l. Do you favor revision of the
tariff?
2. In what schedules should you
like to see rates lowered?
3. Have you any furthur com
ment to make on the subject?
4. For what party did you vote
in the last presidential election?
Here is the text of Governor Boies'
reply.
1. Yes.
2. In all where rates as at present
levied exceed the difference between
the wages of labor in this country
and foreign competing countries in
like lines of production.

Henry Clay Wing. From my

protective tariff as they were at first
taught.

have changed. The age of infan,
Industries with us in almost every
conceivable line of production is past
and now the continuation of an ex.
cessive protective system, which the
necessities Of great war made pos.
sible in the first instance, is to my
mind nothing less than robbery o.
the many for the benefit of the few
l do, however, believe that {
double purpose should be honestly
sought in the formation of tariff
schedules at the present time.
(a). The collection of revenu.
for the use of the government eco
nomically administered: and
| (b). The protection of the wag,
earners of America SO that they ma,
never be compelled to compete witt
foreign labor in any other countr,
of the world.

party, in both national and stat,
platforms, ought to, in substance
say as much, SO that the scarecrov
