THE CHICAGO ELECTION.

Now that the strain Of local election
figtts is relieved the outside cities and
towns are watching the campaign In
Chicago as the most interesting Of the
contests still before the public eye.
Municipal ownership of public utili-
ties is attracting very rnuch attention
Of late and the campaign in Chicago
centers about city ownership of street
car lines. The principle is popular in
Chicago where the voters have three
times carried the proposition of city
ownership. in 1902 by almost a two
third majority. An act passed by the
Illinois legislature in 1908, known as
the Mueller act. providing for the pay
ment for street railway property and
unexpired franchises with certificates.

sc.b Of Potatoes.

Scab of potatoes is caused by
fungous plant working in the surface
of the potato. The germs of 1T are
very abundant and live for many years
in the soil and also over winter on
the potatoes. If these germs are fed
to stock they undoubtedly grow in
the manure, and the use of such ma
nure may often be the cause of In
lection Also they may be spread In
the soil by natural drainage and land
receiving the drainage from infested
fields may become infected with the
disease without ever having had po-
tatoes on it. Scabby seed potatoes
when planted on new or old potato
land will generally produce a scabby
crop, but the amount of the disease
| will generally be much more on the
old land than on the new.
Scabby potatoes may be safely used
for seed provided they are first treated
in such a way as to destroy the germs
of the scab that adhere to them.
There are many methods of doing this,
but the most practical now used are
as follows:
Procure from druggist two ounces
of powdered corrosive sublimate (mer-
| curlc D1CnlOFlQ6J, put lIllS lHto lWu
gallons of hot water in wooden or
earthenware vessel and allow it to
stand until dissolved. Place thirteen
gallons OF water In a clean barrel pour
| in the solution of corrosive sublimate
and allow it to stand two or three
hours, with frequent STRINGS, in order
to have the solution uniform. Select
potatoes as nearly free from scab as
! can be obtained: put the seed potatoes
into bags, either before or after cutting
them, and then dip them into the cor
rosive sublimate solution and allow
them to stay in for an hour and half.
! If seed potatoes are treated in this
way and then planted on land free
! from scab, the resultant crop will sell
dom be seriously injured by scab. The
expense of this treatment, including
labor, should not exceed one dollar
per acre, as the material may be used
repeatedly. But the treated potatoes
should never be fed to animals, as
corrosive sublimate is deadly poison.
This material should be mixed with
water at the rate of eight ounces Cone
] half pint) Of commercial formalin to

Tho Useful Cattle Beast of the
Future.

The day was when the scrub was
supreme In the land. That day is
forever gone altho it must be
acknowledged that the scrub is alto
gether too much in evidence even
now. notwithstanding the scrub has
done some good work. 1t has impart-
ed stamina to it's descendants, i'm
proved form and other qualities
from the parent stock which carried
more or less of pure blood in their
veins. This Improvement we may
naturally expect to continue indefinite
ly. 1t is we'll that we can hope that
so 1t will be as grade cattle will doubt
less thru all time form the great
proportion of the animals kept on the
farm. Even in Great Britain, where
more attention has been paid to the
growing of pure breds than in any
other country, an Overwhelming ma
iority of the livestock at the present
time consists of grades more or less
improved. There is no country per-
haps in the world in which the grades
are found so much improved. We
NAV naturally expect that the same
thing will follow in this country, that
the chief money makers for ma
jority of the farmers will consist OF
grades brought to a high state of I'M
provement individually thru careful
breeding.
1t may be asked why would 1T not
be better to have recorded animals
so increased as ultimately to prevail
universally? In our mind there are
some important reasons why it should
not be so. One of those is that
should pure bred animals become so
plentiful persons would in time cease
to keep records, as but little differ
ence if any, would prevail In the
prices of recorded animals as COM
pared with those unrecorded. A more
important factor, however. is found
in the fact that when animals are I'M
proved thru grading. the door Is
open to the introduction of blood more
or less alien. 1t has been found that
when stamina is weak 1t can be re-
stored more quickly in this way when
the work is judiciously done than In
any other. Such door is not open
in the growing of pure bred stock no
matter how many crosses are made.
Using continually pure bred sires from
any one breed the progeny can never
reach that point when they will be
admitted as pure. For these reasons
the average farmer is more likely to
grade grade stock than stock pure
ly bred. Nevertheless 1t should be
the ambition of every one growing
this Gloss Of stock to grow it Of the
best, as the best will always be found
the most profitable.

was submitted to the voters of Chicago
and Endorsed by a majority of 10000.
Since that time the voters by a ma
jority of 10000 in total vote of 120,-
900 have declared that the Mueller
law should be put into immediate OPP
Grafton. BY a vote of $4,000 to $4,000
they have also decided against further
extension of franchises.
The question to be settled next
Tuesday seems to be one of time,
whether the city shall take
over the lines at once or
later. Both Judge Dunno and his OPP
ponent, Mr.. Harlan, are in favor of
city ownership of street car lines, but
the former advocates immediate and
unconditional ownership. while the lat
tiers stand the franchises of IS per cent
of the mileage of street railway lines,
have expired but on the remaining
25 per cent the companies hold an
unexpired ninety-nine year franchise,
and these are the most important down
town lines. Mr.. Harlan is reported to
hold that the street railway syndicate
will not sell it's property at price
which the people would consider reas-
ings We're instituted they would drag
on interminably; and, finally, that the
city has no money to expend in the
purchase of the lines operated by the
syndicate. The most practical way out
of the difficulty, in Mr.. Harlans view
would be along these lines: The syn
dictate has ninety nine-year franchises
on one fourth of it's lines. Let is sur
render the long leases on % per cent Of
chises on all it's lines including the Is
per cent of mileage on which its
franchises have expired. At the expir-
alton of the new franchise it is, pro-
posed that the city take over the en-
tire property. Judge Dunno is against
compromise and for the immediate
taking over Of the lines on which the
franchises have expired.
General expression predicts of
Dunnes success. The betting is in his
favor at odds against his opponent,
and the result of previous votes on
municipal ownership would seem to
indicate voctory for the radical can
didate,

.HEARTLEssNess OF THE POLITICIAN.

Among all that has been said in the
heat Of partisanship and in cool crlti-
cism Of Dave Henderson, the deepest
cut Col. Henderson has had to bear
was given him in the house OF ms
friends. Writing from Washington to
his paper LATE Young says OF him:
sHe quit the life of congress and is
10 nearly forgotten that when the
groups are gathering in Washington ne
as scarcely inquired about" No one
will accuse Mr.. Young of deliberately
turning the spear in the bosom of the
old warrior of the Third district but
the knowledge that he is forgotten
where he once led, that Of those VINO
sought him only few months ago
scarcely one inquiries for him, must be
harder to bear than the detection of
his district and the loss of leadership
stated the facts as they are, but 1t
might have been done in fashion
less brutally frank or better yet have
been left unsaid.
If Dave Henderson is forgotten in
Washington it is illustrative of the
heartlessness of political life and ex-
planatory Of much that we despise IN
l"practical politics." He had been -
figure in congress for years, leader
In debate, q virile and fearless man
among men. Doubtless there are hun
dreds of the habitues of the capitol
who are directly indebted to Dave
Henderson for favors, political and
otherwise. That they fail to remem-
Der and ask of him is a valuable illus
tration of political friendship in Wash
tngton. Dave Henderson without
favors to bestow or congressional in
fiuence to trade is man forsaken and
forgotten.
But here in Iowa, Henderson. is re-
membered and will be remembered as
a stalwart fighter In the front ranks
Of republicanisn. People who opposed
him as partisans and differed from him
in opinion, who never used him and for
whom he had no use politically, ask
after him. It is as true in Iowa as in
Washington that the men who best re-
member Dave Henderson and are most
careful Of his personal fame are not
those who owe him most for personal
favor.

fifteen gallons of water. The potatoes
should be soaked two hours in 1T. IT
this method is used the seed should
be planted within two or three days

THE WRITING BACK HOME.

A prominent feature Of many of the
county weeklies of the state at present
IL the letter written to his old home
by the Iowa emigrant who has recently
located in some distant part of the
country. From the Dakotas, Oregon
and Washington, Minnesota, Oklahoma
and Kansas, and even Canda and Mex
leo come the missives describing in
glowing terms the salubrious climate,
numerous advantages and splendid OPP
portunities of the various localities
from which they come.
These letters. doubtless written with
) the best of intentions, are very apt to
work de]eterious influence on the
people of the communities in which
they are read. They are the results Of
first impressions, and consequently not
always reliable. Many of them would
no doubt receive revision at the hands
Of the writer's if they were withheld
from publication a few months. The
slight" drawback of the intense cold
winter weather of the Saskatchewan
plains is apt to furnish the chief rea-
son for seeking a warmer climate
within few years, and the myriads
of troublesome insects which some
what" mar the delights of existence on
the table lands of Mexico become later
on a feature that renders existence in
those regions almost intolerable.
A few years ago there lived in
northern Iowa a wealthy farmer on a
$50 acre tract of improved land. His
and everything required to operate the
farm was complete. Two hundred
head of cattle grazed his pastures. But
he decided on a change Of location.
He traded his farm and entire outfit
for 300 acres of land in Kansas, and
went there to live. In "A short time
he exchanged his newly acquired pos
sessions even up for 800 acres Of his
original Iowa farm with none of the
outfit included.
Those who are inclined to place re-
lance on these enthusiastic first i'm
pressions to the extent of considering
seriously the change from good Iowa
home to one in some distant place
north, south or west, would do well to
at least wait for the second letter from
the newly discovered paradise.

Ia. K. Bush, in Minnesota Institute
Annual
I wish to call your special attention
to the value of a heavy rope so at
tached to the riding cultivator that a
loop will drag along over the row and
strike each hill with force enough to
cause the bugs to fall to the ground,
where they will be buried by the thou
sands. The tiny bugs will perish in a
short time under cover of the earth.
and the old fellows will be "off on a
strike" and may never get back to
business. One should begin using this
rope attachment early in the season.
With a little experience 1t can be adj
justed to do effective work, and by
keeping persistently at it, the bugs
will be destroyed at little or no ex-
pense, and an increased yield Of pota-
toes will be grown on account of the
frequent cultivation.
