DOLLAR WHEAT

The bears and bulls have about finish
ed their fight over wheat and the bears
have won. Several million dollars have
changed hands among the gamblers on
the grain exchange, but with their gains
and losses the farmer knows little aid
cares less. The principal item ofinterest
to the producer is the fact that corners"
in the wheat market are after all limited
by the actual wheat. Theoretically if
man or number Of men combined, have
enough money the prices may be ma
nipuated to any extent. Practically it IS
lounI that it cannot be done. Theoret-
icaly if a man owned all or most all the
wheat he could make his own price in
selling. But when this is attempted in
varlably he finds that he has bit off more
than he can chew. Generally he finds
that there is more wheat than he can
handle, and if able to take all the offer
ings. tn last part of the wheat has be-
come pretty high priced, because OF the
scarcity which he himself has created
But what hits him harder than anything
is the fact that he must sell in order to
make profit, and just as soon as he be-
gins to sell wheat goes down, because his
olerlngs again make plenty of wheat.
Perhaps after all, the present furry
proves 10 the farmer only one thing of
special interest, and that is the fact that
manipulations don't seem to have the
power this year to drive wheat much
above or below the .,ollar mark, in the
principal markets.

DISSATISFIED SOLDIERS.

The internal troubles in Russia appear
to be continuing as bad as ever. Riot,
approaching revolution. dissatisfaction,
graft and incompetence, are the daily
tales told by the telegraph. There is no
wonder that soldiers recruited from a
dissatisfied people should lack in the
qualities OF patriotism that are necessary
to good fighters. 1t is wonder that
they do as we'll as they do. A very
large part of the people of Russia are ~of
the opinion that defeat in the present
war is the only solution to the internal
troubles of the empire. They believe
that such defeat would so humble the
aristocracy that they would have to allow
the common people more liberty, and
that a constitutional government would
be the necessary result Certainly Rus
sia is to be pitied. That there will be a
great upheavel in that unhappy land in
the near future seems to be certainty; an
upheavel that will mean death and ruin
to thousands and thousands of innocent
persons-unless the czar and the aristoc-
racy shall do-what no one expects them
to do-grant liberal constitution to the
people.

the statute books applying to combina-
tions as such. Some fractional laws
have been passed by various states and
by congress, which in their insufficiency
and inefficiency simply prove the neces-
sity of an entire code. But when trouble
comes and the courts are appealed to for
justice, the court.ca do no better than
administer the law of individual right,
which has no more to do with such cases
than the "Articles of War" which govern
the army and navy have to do with suit

Meantime the strikers fight, and the

with the case except to humbly wait as
best they may, until these mimic wars
are settled by force of arms.

A CODE FOR COMBINATIONS.

Chicago is again in the throes of an ex.
tensive srike with prospects of it increas-
ing. So far it has been the cause of one
to three deaths per day.
Because as yet lawmakers have not
learned how to distinguish between the
inalienable rights of the individual in
buying and selling labor, and the wrongs
of large bodies of persons combined
for the same purposes, there seems to be
no other way than to fight it out by force.
But history proves tnat "might makes
right" finally. That is, that in all new
questions of public policy, it appears to
be necessity to first use physical force
to. at the last, evolve a peaceful solu-
ton.
Chicago is the the "best organized"
labor city in the world, and because it is
thus organized 1t will have to suffer the
inevitable consequences. From the suf-
fering there will in time come the solu-
ton. The first lesson already being that
combines Of any sort, have a vastly diff
ferent status before the law than that of
the effort of the individual. The same
law will not, cannot govern both All
men are created free and equal, but a
corporation or union has no inalien-
BILE rights whatever.
What is now needed is for some legal
genius, to formulate constitutional
amendment that will define and regulate
all sorts OF combinations of capital or
labor. It is something new to. the law,
but the necessity Of its recognition by
the law is only too evident.
Combinations are comparatively new,
but they have come to stay. They are
not by any means all unmixed evil. The
power achieved by combination is used
for good as well as evil. There is no use,
iii would be utterly wrong to attempt to
abolish combinations, but they must be
regulated by law.
At present. there is no general law on

Magnitude of the Dairy Business.

In an address delivered at the re-
cent meeting of the National Butter
Makers association at st. Louis, NJ.
M. Wentworth of State Center, Iowa,
in giving some figures of the magni-
tude of the dairy and creamery inter
est, said that the production of butter
this year in the United States would
amount to 1,5OO,00O,000 pounds. The
value of the output, exclusive of Sun
days and holidays, was, he said, ST..
100000 daily. To move the years pro-
duction of butter would require 49,
$50 cars, each containing 10000
pounds. This succession of cars would
extend $50 miles if placed end to end,
or from the worlds fair grounds to a
point forty miles beyond Chicago. If
placed in sections of twenty-five cars,
1,750 locomotives would be required
to haul the butter output, and it would
take $3.50 train men to operate the
trains. If sections were placed six
miles apart the first section would be
whistling in Manila, Philippine islands,
before the last section left the world s
fair grounds.

Cheap Man, Poor Butter.

At one place that called last sum-
mer, the creamery had but four
months before passed into the hands
of the farmers. They had asked vari-
GUS creamerymen for advice and were
told that the most important thing to
do was to hire first-class buttermak-
er and not allow few dollars in
wages to stand in the way. They,
however, were Of the opinion that a
good enough man could be obtained
for $35 or $40 and got a young man
for the latter figure. In four months
they lost nearly $500 on the butter and
the day I got there he had left them
after washing up, and when l got
there about z o'clock in the evening
the cream was at temperature of 70
and had 5h degrees of acidity-plenty
ripe enough to churn. There was no
water in the glass on the boiler and no
water in the tank, the pump was brok-
en-, and the churn, which was a new
one, was in a very bad condition. l
got some ice and cooled the cream
down and stayed two days breaking in
a new man, who, am pleased to say,
has been having good success, some
of the credit for which may be due to
his wife, who works in the creamery
with him.-Prof. ]. G. Moore.

DAIRY NOTES
Alfalfa as Cow Feed.

1t has often been said that from a
chemical standpoint alfalfa Is an ideal
ration for milk cows but this is not
fact. A COW weighing 1000 pounds and
giving her full capacity Of milk should
receive twenty-nine pounds OF dry
matter. 21z pounds Of digestible pro-
tein, thirteen pounds OF digestible
carbohydrates and one-half pound OF
ether extract daily. If . COW should
receive thirty pounds of alfalfa day
with no other feed she would not get
enough dry matter by ~ pounds.
She would receive thirty-two per cent
too much digestible protein and not
enough carbohydrates or fat. Theo-
retically speaking, in feeding alfalfa
to dairy COWS it should be fed in COM
bination with some crop which will
supply the nutrients in which alfalfa
is deficient, such as corn fodder. Al
falfa and corn fed in combination re-
suits in greater efficiency in that it
requires less dry matter to produce
one pound of butter fat or 100 pounds
of milk. The nutritive ratio of al
falfa, that is the proportion of protein
or albuminoids to carbohydrates and
fat is undoubtedly too narrow for best
results. Corn and other crops supple
mentary to alfalfa must find an i'm
portant place in farm practice in the
irrigated west.-Denver Field and
Farm.

Loss on Undrained Land.

At an Iowa convention Prof. d. A.
Kent said: For every three acres Of
dry land in the wet area of Iowa there
is one acre that needs drainage; about
one-fourth of the land needs to be
drained. l think it would cost about
$1s5 100000 to properly drain our
state. Now if it would cost that much
to properly drain the state SO that we
could raise crop under any condi-
ton, you can at once arrive at con-
clusion of the Importance of the i'm
provement. The state of Iowa, l be-
lieve, has lost within the last two
years about $10O.O00,0OO through lack
Of drainage. l know of men in the
state who have lost their farms
through lack of drainage l know Of
tenants that have been sold out Of
house and home, because they could
not pay their rent. In some cases the
landlords were not so ungenerOus; but
when we find conditions like the
above, land going to waste, losses an
nually, on account of lack of drainage,
think it is high time for the voice
of the people to be raised, in one &C.
cord, to the powers that be, demand
ing that something be done in the way
of revision of the drainage laws, and
in the more thorough work of drain
age"

suckwheat, Rye and Fertility.

The discussion of buckwheat as a
feed reminds us to say that it has even
a greater value as fertilizer of the
soil, as we demonstrated fully on
sandy land that had been reduced to
the Improbable point by too much
cropping to wheat; that was several
years ago, however. Rye was used
in connection with the buckwheat,
but the element most needed was Sc
cured through the buckwheat, the rye
affording some feed during the opera
ton, and helping to put the soil in
good mechanical condition First,
winter rye was sown in the fall, pas
tured then, late, and early in spring
Then allowed to grow until in bloom,
when it was plowed under and sown
to buckwheat. That, in turn, was
plowed under and again sown to win
ter rye. The following spring red
clover was sown in the rye, when an
excellent stand resulted and the soil
was again in condition to play it's part
in crop growing.

Hyomei Cures catarrh by Simple
Breathing. FeisIer & McNiece
Refund Money IL Il Fails to Cure.
Sank Centre, MINI

A long stride toward solving the
mystery of curing catarrh was taken
with the discovery of Hyomei. In
fact, the PERCENTAGE OF cures by this
treatment proves it equal to the final
tests.
The folly of taking medicine into
the stomach to cure catarrh Of the
nose, throat and lungs, has been real
lied by physicians, but not until
Hyomei was known, had they a
practical method that would obviate
stomach dragging.
A complete Hyomei outfit costs but
81, and consists Of neat pocket in
haler that can be used anywhere
without attracting attention, a med
icine dropper and bottle of Hyomei.
Extra bottles of Hyomei cost but SOC.
Breathing Hyomei through the
inhaler, every particle of air that
enters the nose, throat and lungs, is
charged with healing balsam that
SootheS and allayS all irritation, kills
the catarrhal germs and enriches the
blood with additional ozone.
FeiSler & McNiece have so much
faith in the power of Hyomei to cure
catarrh, that they are selling it under
their personal guarantee to refund
the money if it does not give positive
relief.

Foundation of Dairyino.

The motherhood of the cow is the
foundation of dairying. This founda-
ton has not been understood in the
past, and the mother quality was set
at naught. The care and feeding of
the mother are things that should
receive our first attention, but they
have been the things to receive at
tention last. AS soon as the COW is
dry it has been the custom to cut
down her feed and sometimes to let
her go with only hay and a poor quail
ity of hay at that. This is not treat
ment that is likely to develop the calf
within her or to improve the milking
qualities of the cow herself.
The Sauk Centre herald. (Sauk Centre, Stearns County, Minn.) 1886-current, 1905-02-09
Pumpkins as Feed.

Results obtained by the Vermont sta
ton show that pumpkins compare fair
ly with silage for feeding dairy cows.
The pumpkins were cut and fed with
the seed. No harm resulted to the
COWS and the quantity of the milk was
not affected. The Pennsylvania sta
ton also reports satisfactory results
from using pumpkins in supplementing
falling pasturage. near the close Of
the grazing season. Analyses and
feeding tests made by that station
show that in protein content the pump
kin does not equal the carrot or man.

Avoid MonereI Bulls.

A farmer can afford to pay SIS for
the service of thoroughbred bull
than to have the use of mongrel bull
for nothing. He can have a grade
calf of the highest excellence; if a
female, she would sell for twice what
a heifer by mongrel bull would
bring. If a male, it would bring one.
third more as veal, and If raised for
beef, would bring nearly double what
the mongrel steer would bring, and
DO it in the first cross.-Clark Bell in
