Poison In Booze.

The chemist of South Dakota food
commission extracted enough coal
tar dye from a bottle Of port wine
taken from an original package, in
the presence of the Legislature, to dye
a brilliant wine color nine square
feet of heavy woolen cloth.
DR.. Wiley, chief of the agriculture
department bureau Of chemistry,
says that S5 per cent of the whisky
sold over the bar in this country is
adulterated.
In a. dozen cities the discovery
has been made that whisky is
dangerously adulterated with wood
alcohol.
But who is alarmed by these por-
tentous facts?
Certainly not those who drink the
stuff.
He who will ignore the far more
deadly dangers of pure whisky is
not going to shy at a little common
poison.
He who will risk his own strength
of mind and character and the
happiness and hope of those nearest
and dearest to him will not be scared
out by a little physical danger.
The wrongs done the world by
adulteraaed whisky may be many.
but they are are not to be compared
with the wrongs done in the world
by whisky that is pure.
A few graves may be filled by the
one, but by the other are filled the
prisons, poorhouses, hospitals and
insane asylums for generation after
generation.
OF the two the adulterated is the
safest. 1t is quickest in its action
and most merciful. 1t kills but
once. 1t kills but one at time,
not whole families, and it does no,
damn generations unborn. Des
Moines Daily News.

also had the supreme satisfaction of
having the superior jury at St. Louis
tell as We had finer exhibit of grains

feel that evidence OF this kind goes d
good ways toward making man salts
fed with his vocation in life But why
eontinIa this farther, Wa might con-
tinue on and write volumes in ex-
tenuation of the satisfaction of the
arnets vocation in lite, for ws knoy
of no vocation on earth that is followed
by man that carries as much sltisfac-
tion In every department a. the yoca
tion of tbs farmer 1t is one of tbs
most ancient of all voc atoms followed
by man dating away back as you might
say to the dawn of creation. And If
you will follow the history .of nations
from the very earliest period of which
we have any authentic account, you
will find those nations that were high
est in agriculture were the strongest
and were possessed of a higher grade of
civilization. And the same is true to-
day. The farmer feeds the world. And
as agriculture advances everything else
follows in its wake. More railroads
and great steamships have to be built
to carry the products of the farmer to
the seaboard and to foreign parts. The
great Niagara Falls has been harnessed
up to furnish power to change our great
crops OF raw products to merchantable
commodities. The jetties have been
built at the mouth of the great
Mississippi river to favor navigation by
deepening the river SO as to let larger
boats come up the river for th e
crops of grain and cotton of the. far
mer. The great rivers have been
bridged to help the railroads to do their
share of the work. Mountains have
been tunneled for the came purpose.
And now the stupenduous task has
been commenced of building the Pana-
ma canal for the purpose of shortening
the haul of the farmers products to
foreign markets. With all this great
array of evidence on the side of agrI-
culture is it posrible to say a farmer
could be anything but satisfied with his
choice of vocation in life. But if these
few reasons do not convince you that
we are satisfied with our vocation in
life come up to Pioneer farm in Eads
Grove some fair day in June when we
are getting about 25 swsrms of bees
4Fsly, and sit for an hour with us in the
aplary department Of our vocation, and
we will either convince yon we are in
love and satisfied with our vocation or
will cause you to hunt hole and you
will waut to take the hole in after you
and fasten the door.

The suga, Trust Debating Again.

Through bond guaranty, our
government is about to promote the
construction Of nearly thousand
miles of railways in the Philippines;
and with the opening of our mar
kets to the products Of the islands
there will come about period Of
agricultural and commercial de-
velopment that is needed above all
things to justify our regime in the
Archipelago and to furnish basis
and a fixed standpoint for the future
growth Of our larger Oriental in
terests. At present prices, the
sugar trust is making enormous
profits on its investments in West
ern beet-sugar mills, and the coun-
try needs to be informed that there
is no danger wharcver that the fa-
vorable admission Of sugar from the
Philippine Islands will retard the
triumphant progress in western
America Of the saccharine beet-root.
Even if it could be figured out, as
it cannot, that the admission of
Philippine sugar could hurt our
sugar interests, it would be easy
enough to show that the growth Of
Philippine prosperity would help
American cotton-growers far more
than it could injure American sugar
manufacturers. The methods used
meanwhile to prevent Congress from
acting upon the recommendations Of
President Roosevelt, Secretary Taft,
and the Philippine Commission only
serve to call the attention of the
American people to the dictatorial
spirit of the sugar trust. We had
a duty to perform toward Cuba that
involved national good faith, and,we
have even a higher duty to perform
toward the Philippine Islands. The
American sugar trust, meanwhile
would do well to abate its political
activities. Doubtless, in due time
it will endeavor to control the
Philippine sugar product, also. Fol
it knows how to adapt itself te
changed conditions, as it has show1
at several memorable junctures.-

CHAS. CL1yTE.

Shall we pay more attention to the
breeding and preparation of our horses
for market?
l am alwaws glad to meet, and dis
cuss farm topics, with farmers any
time or place, as always learn some
thing, and feel better after discussion,
1 like farm stock, and the better bred
they are, the better I>like them. And
l am pleased to know that Iowa, our
state, stands at the head, for the num-
Der and value of thoroughbred stock,
aid the value of all farm stock. In the
last five years the quality of horses in
Delaware County has gained very rap
idly, but we will have room for i'm
provement for years to come. There
are several things that have had q ten
dency to hold back horse Improvement
In Delaware county. Perhaps the
greatest of the drawbacks was the
Williams boom on trott!ng horses at
Independence, followed by the farmers
craze for fast horses, and the breeding
for few years of all classes of mares
from 100 pounds down to the Shetland
pony, to some sort of roadster sire.
You all know the result! The country
was flooded with lot OF small, ill
tempered, now selling farm horses, that
were neither fast enough for good
rosdssers, nor large enough for good
work horses. Next the bicycle came,
farmers grew careless with their breed
log, because they thought that the time
of Mr. horse was about up Then
there was tendency of farmers to
keep selling off their best young mares
just because they thought there was
TOO much money tied up in one animal,
and they would argue that cheaper
horse would do the work. About this
time the barbwire fence question had
to be discussed and looked into for it
was blemishing SO many horses that
something must be done about it, and
there was! 1t was substituted by the
woven wire, which makes the colt as
safe in the horse pasture now, as they
used to be with boards or rails. Barb.
wire certainly did all they claimed for
itin the way of damaging horses. And
yet L believe it was blessing to the
advancement of horses, because it was
the cause of many fine brood mare
left on the farms that would otherwise
have been cold. The bicycle, like the
"old dog" has had its day and the horse
business is as strong as ever. The
automobile, is too crazy q thing to in
tluence the horse market in any way.
People are learning what the farm,
and the market wants. Importing and
breeding companies are filling oul
country with good horses and l viii
predict that it will not be many year
before 1t will be with our horses as il
Is with our cattle. That foreign coun.
tries will be looking to the middle
for their models of perfection and W,
will be exporters instead of importer
Of horses. The outlook for horses wa
never brighter, nor the price highe
than today. Outside of driving team
