THE DOGS EYE.

Symptoms of HydrOphObia.

Symptoms of HydrOphObia.
AS dogs do not perspire, the only re-
lief they seem to get when overheated
is from inhaling cool air through their
wide open mouths in short puffy
breuths The friction between tongue
and lips caused by their rapid, labori
GUS breathing produces saliva, which Is
sometimes ignorantly diagnosed as
foam, one of the symptoms of hydro
phobia Many innocent victims have
lost their lives on account of such stu
pidity.
If your dog should feel i'll, sick with
some ordinary ailment, he will wag
welcome to you with a sad, pitiful eX
preston, looking up inquiringly as if
asking for help and relief. Ii it has
come to the worst and he feels by in
stinct the germs of the dreaded disease
in his frame, his action will be entirely
different You will find him with low
bent head, Withholding his usual glad
welcome, hardly noticing or glancing
at you.
Ii your eye meet his, the restless.
nervous, strange expression will star
tie you. The dog, feeling his doom, is
conscious Of approaching danger and
would like to prepare and warn you.
These unmistakable and easily recog-
nized signs should be watched closely
and always needed. Corner the dog at
once and, with the help Of broom or
barn fork, keep him at safe distance
until locked up.-Country Calendar.

"cAN SUCH THINGS BE?


1t is more or less specifically alleged
that newspapers about the state are
leasing editorials and news columns to
desiring to influence public opinion
thru such channels. This is most
unfortunate if true. In such deal
three parties are materially concerned
the vendor, the purchaser and the
public, and in this consideration the
last shall be first.
The reader of a newspaper is justified
in assuming that he is getting a square
deal from the editor. Formed of the
same sort of clay entering into the
composition of other people the editor
may err in judgment and be lame III
his philosophy, but for such human
frailty society is inclined to be more
than charitable. When the editorial
heart is right and the editorial brain
is free to give it utterance the product
may be democratic, republican, ortho-
dox or otherwise without offense
against the canons of journalism or of
public policy But let it be understood
that even portion of the press is pur-
chasable; that the opportunity to mould
public opinion is sold to men or COR
porations with selfish ends to serve:
that the editorial page is in the market,
and all newspapers are suspected OF
corruption and all editorial opinion is
discounted. 1t is an insult to popular
intelligence and personal character for
the editor to privately abdicate to the
hireling of a corporation while ASSUME
ing to speak out of an honest heart to
a trusting constituency.
The special interest that buys so
cheap a man at any price drives
mighty poor bargain. The individual
transaction simply from the standpoint
of selfish results is a reflection upon
the shrewdness of business character.
Then this purchaser ought to under
stand the trouble he is inviting to his
own financial concerns in pursuing
such course. The public is not long
deceived When it is known that rail-
ways or other special interests are pol
luting the channels OF public discuss

A NEW TRUST.

The Southern Cotton Association, at
Its meeting last week in Asheville,
North Carolina, set in operation an
i experimental producers trust that if
fairly successful will put cotton grow
ing in the Standard Oil class. 1t was
minimum price of II cents a pound
I on the coming crop and members of
the associated cotton growers pledge
themselves to hold their products until
prices reach the eleven cent limit. AS
the new crop is estimated at about five
million bales less than last year, the
trust will succeed this year at any rate.
Cotton production compared with the
other staple crops is in few hands and
instead of increasing has been stead
lily decreasing. The prospect is that
sufficient number of the members of
the new producers trust will prove
price to the minimum set by the con-
vention. If so, one success is likely
TO lead to another and the future pos
sibilities of a monopoly controlled by
the producers Of raw material is, to
say the least, problematical.
I Why not an arbitrary price on cot
ton? Steel and sugar and soap and
oil and a long list of products rise and
fall in market price at command. Coal
prices advance arbitrarily month by
month from spring to fall. Retail mer-
chants sell soap at retail prices set
by the manufacturers. Labor trusts
set the number of hours their members
may work and the minimum wage they
may work for. Why not the cotton
farmer banded in an association set
ting minimum prices on his product
and raising that minimum quietly, but
firmly. to what the traffic will bear?"
When all producers have been edu-
Gated to the capacity of effective or
ganization and arbitrary prices exist
upon all common necessities of human
existence what is the consumer to do?
Get off the earth?

GOOD CAUSE FOR CAUTION.

There Is a danger to the better class
Of renters and smaller farmers in the
big corn crop. A large crop always
calls for something to eat it and there
is very general tendency observable
toward feeding cattle this winter. In
the rush somebody is likely to be
pinched, and at present prices the man
who buys feeders is more likely to suf-
fer than the other man who raised
them. Chicago reports show best
feeders selling up to 4.00@4.75. In
the country prices hold stiff for feed
ers and WAIVER between s3.25 and 81
for good ones.
A couple of years or so ago, when
northern Iowa corn was mostly soft.
the feeder buying fever struck the
farmers and investment was strong.
In most instances they overbought and
crop, the same thing is not unlikely to
occur. Feeding cattle bought at high
rates are too likely in a year when
Everybody feeds cattle" to go finished
to market at prices too close to the
purchase price to afford profit.
It is sensible plan for the smaller
farmers and renters" to use caution
In buying feeders. Hogs, not cattle,
are their "long suit" If all the money
lost in the small feed yards could be
gathered together it would pay the ma
tional debt.

WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH iowA2

Rev. James L. Hill, ID. D., of Salem,
Mass, writes to the editor of the Sa-
lem News ON the subject of the alleged
decrease in Iowa's population. 1t is
readily to be seen that DIR. Hill is an
Iowa product. He knows Iowa and APP
preciates and loves the state of his ma
tivity. He explains for the benefit of
the effete fastener that the trouble
with Iowa is prosperity. Decrease in
population is no bad omen in Iowa. He
says:
Now Iowa is eminently and almost
exclusively an agricultural state. 1t is
prObably the richest piece of equal
surface to be found anywhere on the
round earth. Land was originally di-
vided into Sections which were a
mile square. Most settlers possessed
themselves Of q quarter section, -
which contains 100 acres. When a
man was poor and he'd few horses to
work with he may have tried to make
a living and get start on eighty
acres. But when men came to have
drOves of horses and herds of cattle
and sheep and reapers and mowers
and gang plows they needed more
room and one farmer is forced to say
to his neighbor with a spirit that is
wholly amicable, Either you must
buy me out or must buy you out and
one of us must go elsewhere and
having received a round sum for his
land make a new nome where he can
have more acres.
AS you can only use land on one
side and no matter what the price
of grain is in the market that farmer
gains the greatest returns who feeds
his farm products to live stock that
can travel away" Here is the rea-
son that land in Iowa is over capital
tied A farmer buys the neighboring
acres because he wants them and has
the money to pay for them and not
because they will bring a high rate Of
interest on the money he is now
obliged to pay for chem. Land is now
too high for that. Land that my IA
ther paid dollar and a quarter an
acre for years ago would sell for 500
an acre. Many of these pioneers are
