GROWTH OF BENEVOLENT INSTITUTIONS

The bureau Of the census has just
published special report on the be-
nevolent institutions Of the United
States. The inquiry that formed the
basis OF this report was conducted
under the direction of Mr.. John Koren,
expert special agent. and the work Of
collection and compilation was per-
formed under the supervision Of Mr.
William A. King, chief statistician for
vital statistics. The various kinds Of
benevofert institutions and the extent
Of their activities are treated in this
discussion. which Is especially valu-
able as a source of information to
those interested In organized or indi-
vidual philanthropy.
Not only are the people Of the Unit
ed States becoming more and more In
terested in charitable work, but they
are expressing their interest by estab-
fishing and supporting benevolent in
stitptions
During the period between 1890 and
1903, 1904 such establishments We're
founded, and now there are 4,2o7 in

sRE,R VOLTS PREDlcAmENT.

Miss Alice Priest, president of the
Iowa Equal Suffrage Association, and
Mr.. Charles B. Wolf, editor of the AL
ton Democrat are creating an attrac-
tive little row that has more to do with
etiquette than with woman suffrage.
Miss Priest, as press agent for her as
ISOLATION sent circular letter to Mr..
Wolf Offering to supply the Democrat
movement, enclosing sample article.
Mr.. Wolf, who is something of hui
morist, then published an open letter
addressed to my Dear Alice" in re-
ply to her communication, asking var
ious questions, among which the ag-
gravating query: "Why women desire
to NEEDLE in public affairs?" occurred.
Then Miss Priest came back at him
and the suffrage association took a
whack at him at its next meeting, ana
Miss Priest, refusing to be notified, Is
still Wolf hunting thru the papers.
Rre'r Wolf himself appears to be LAY
ing mighty low"
Outside of the questions vital to
woman suffrage, Miss Priest seems to
have the best Of it. Her request for
publicity was entirely legitimate and
made with courtesy. When Mr.. Wolf
addressed her as Dear Alice" he got
too gay. She was entitled to common
courtesy. nothing more. Her article
was public property and the editor had
every right to question 1t. AS a press
agent she can, however, scarcely plead
the privileges Of her sex. Mr.. Wolf
seems to have been impudently familiar
when he wrote Dear Alice" and In
discreetly bold when he told woman
not to NEEDLE and make in mans
business.
Editor VOLTS best plea is ignorance.
He had not long been married and his
knowledge OF the sex was limited. All
thru the honeymoon he had had his
own way and as natural had fallen into
the common error that men are lords
OF creation. When he told Miss Priest
not to NEEDLE he knew not what he did.
He supposed at that time that man
was boss of the universe and rushed
i'm where older married men fear to
tread. He knows better now. His very
silence is the best symptom of his sor-
row and abasement.
Common mercy appeals for Mr..
Wolf. Let the women quit "nagging" at
him. He has learned his lesson. Pen
itent or impenitent he will know bet
ter in future than to tell a woman she
is meddlesome.

nevolent institutions enumerated are
hospitals, and about onesfourth are
onphanages and children's homes. The
permanent homes for adults alone or
adults and children rank third in point
Of number, and the temporary homes
rank fourth.
The increase in the number Of hos
pitfalls and permanent homes for adults
was more marked in the old and thick
~ populated communities than In the
newer ones, while the growth of or
phanages was more notable in states
somewhat deficient in benevolent in
stitutions OF other kinds.
The great proportion of institutions
In certain Communities does nd indi-
cate an excessive number Of sick and
dependent in those neighborhoods so
much as the greater advancement OF
the inhabitants in the care of such
classes.
In the total number of benevolent
institutions New York ranked first
with $50; Pennsylvania second, with
400; Massachusetts third, with 305;
Ohio fourth, with 167; and Illinois
fifth, with 257.
The largest number of public insti-
buttons was found in Ohio, while Della
ware was the only state that did not
support public institution of any
character besides the aln1shouses and
hospitals for the insane.
New York ranked first in the NUM-
her Of private institutions and also in
the number of institutions under &C.
clesiastical control. In Idaho, Okla
homa, Oregon, and Washington about
one-hah of the benevolent institutions
have been organized and are main
tained by the churches.
Nevada alone is not credited with a
hospital. lit is presuded that the need
OF hospitals for the inhabitants of that
sstate is met by private enterprises
that are not classed as benevolent.
Indiana and Ohio are the only states
having systems of county homes for
children. Arizona, Idaho and Wyo-
ming are not credited with any or
phanages; and Arizona, Nevada, New
Mexico, Oklahoma and Utah are as
yet without any permanent homes for
dependents.

Dairy Notes.

1t is better to sell thin cows to some
man who has cheap roughage, and by
feeding them abundantly he can bring
them up to point where they will
sell as Gamers. The way to get rid of
an old COW is to fatten her on grass and
roughness or sell her for what you can.
Professor Henry notes an experiment
at the Ohio station where corn and cob
meal were fed with hay to number
of cows, as compared with ear corn,
for fourteen days. The result was that
the cows yielded half a pound more
milk per day per COW. He remarks
that this has little significance, when
1t is remembered that the period of
lactation was advanced two weeks dur
ing the second trial, when the cows
would naturally be giving less milk
Large amounts of timothy hay are
often fed to dairy cows because it is
thought to be very rich and nourish-
ing foodstuff, but in experiments made
with twenty-four cows at the Virginia
station last winter, it would seem that
shredded slower, when we'll made and
preserved, can often be used to re-
place the timothy hay to advantage. AS
timothy hay brings from $40 to $15
ton on the market and shredded slower
is practically waste product on the
farm, the economy Of utilizing the lat
ter is apparent to all.
On account of the increase in the
value of Iowa land there is no question
but that much more interest will be
taken in dairying i'm the future than
has been the case in the past. With
the exception of New York, Iowa pro-
duces more butter than any other state
in the union, but she does not produce
half the quantity that she might pro-
duce, and the field for development in
Iowa is large. There is much to be
gained by attending meetings and
conventions.
A question of more than passing in
terest to the dairyman, and that is the
balancing up of his ration with some
concentrate rich in protein. Gluten
meal and cotton seed meal were fed
on the basis Of the content Of digesti-
BILE protein for this purpose, and pro-
vided the market price is the same per
pound of digestible protein, there is
little to choose between the two ex-
cept that the gluten meal was not as
readily eaten by the cows, and 1t made
the butter fat SOFT whereas, cotton
seed meal was readily eaten and In
creases the melting point Of butter,
which gives 1t decided advantage for
feeding in summer.-A. M. S.

NERVOUS WRECKS
Are Made We'll by a New Cure.

Those who have been treated by
noted nerve specialists write that all
treatment failed until they used DR..
wheeler's Nerve Vitalizer and were
cured. 1t is against the policy OF most
physicians to recommend other reme-
dies than their own, but sometimes
there are found those broad-minded
enough to throw aside prejudice ana
be honest with the sick, and advise
their patients to take Wheeler's Nerve
vitalizer, which they know will cure
surely, quickly and permanently.
There is positively no case OF ner-
yous disease, no matter how severe or
how long standing. that cannot be
cured by this medicine The celebrat-
ed DIR. DeNike says it has no equal.

Sheep shearinas.

The wool of this country is pro-
duced in thirty-three states and terri
tories with the bulk of the production
in the far west. The annual output APP
proximates 225 million pounds Of
fleece in various grades and qualities.
The cost of transporting and market
ing this wool exceeds twelve million
dollars annually or an average Of
something like cents pound, which
is practically SO per cent of the value
In ordinary years.
The Culp brothers, of Russell coun-
ty, Kansas, have been doing a good
deal of trading in Colorado lambs this
season and the other day hauled out
the last batch which made grand
total of $4,000 head. The most OF
these sheep We're placed With corn
feeders living in the central part of
Kansas and as the stuff there costs
them close onto five cents pound we
are wondering how they will come
out in the spring.
Some of the Wyoming sheep growers
are talking about &c cent wool for next
year. Already few Clips have been
contracted at 25 cents pound, and
26 cent wool is a probability. We are
hearing of cases in which staple wool
from fed sheep is being contracted at
30 cents a pound. We hope the grow
ers can arrange in some way to save
the profit of cents pound that some
of the spectators have been making
this year.
Ex-senator George H Brett, of
Ponca City, Okla, recently purchased
$4,000 head Of sheep In southern Colo
RADIO which have been shipped to his

fully $4,000 head of sheep will be fed
this winter in the neighborhood Of
Ponca City. the most of them being
shipped in from western states. Mr..
Brett fed 10000 head last winter and
made enough money to try it again this
season.

FOREST RESERVE TEST.

How Black Hills Will He Seeded
with Pine Cones.
The Black Hills forest reserve, one
Of the most important Of all reserves
In the United States, Is conducting 8
line Of experiments which are resulting
in one of the unique industries Of the
country. says Deadwood Is. d. dis.
patch.
It is Captain Bullock's plan t.
smooth over every burned spot in the
reserve by seeding broadcast in the
spring with pine cones. This expert.
ment was made on thirty acres OF
ground last spring. and yielded good re.
each square foot.
Captain Bullock has large army Of
helpers, composed Of the small boys
Of the Black Ellis. They are gathering
pine cones, for which they are paid
by the forestry department 25 cents a
bushel. As this pay is not very large,
It becomes necessary for the boys to
furnish large amount to make the
industry pay.
Under them in their efforts is still
larger rmy-that of the red squirrels.
The squirrels are the greatest cone
gatherers in the country, and 50 valua-
bic are they that the bounty which
has been offered by the forestry de
partment for their pei has been abol-
isl,c.l. and instead these little animals
are gathering some 1900 bushels Of
cones, which will make about 1.5Oo
pounds of seed.
The boys have already gathered 1000
bushels of cones, which will make
about 1900 pounds of seed. They are
not allowed to pick them, but gather
them from the ground or from the
squirrels dens. AS high as nine BUSH
els of cones have been found in one
den, aud several Of the holes of these
little forest rangers have yielded up at
least six bushels.

n'cLeLLA. IN THE "souARE DEAL

L. I
Il was probably excellent politics for
Mayor Mcclellan to Join with MT.
Hearst in request upon the supreme
court to compel the production OF the
I Ggiginal tally sheets of the election
l districts involved in the election con-
test in progress between the two ap-
pl1cants, but nothing he has previous
Nv accomplished has made him so
much genuine good repute or will
bring him such general approval. The
reasons given by Mcclellan for his
action are those OF an honest citizen
and highly patriotic public man. His
counsel, Judge Alton B. Parker, told
| the supreme court that his client
would not keep to his count nor to his
majority one single Illegal or dis
honest ballot, and that If he would
Willingly take advantage OF any trick
to secure a ballot which did not be-
long to him would not be here rep
ETesenting him. appear for him IN
this proceeding and expect to- in other
proceedings because he stands today
as he did before election, the same
honest, straight minded and honorable
citizen. Whatever be the truth
Mayor Mcclellan wants vt and it is
my duty as his counsel to ask the
court to make no order that would give
him one technical advantage"
This IS very satisfactory state
nent. We need more Of the sort sup.
ported by the action necessary to it's
corroboration. It is a pity that Mayor
Mcclellan and the candidates oppos-
ing him had not made determine
ton not to profit by single illegal
or dishonest ballot clear before the
election took place. 1t is prof1tless to
buy or steal votes for a candidate
that is sincere in a refusal to accept
them The knowledge that crooked
ness would defeat its own object
would go far to eliminate dishonest
ballots and forged election returns

from elections. However, it is a good
hearing when men stand UP after the
fact and go on record for fair vote
and an honest count.
It might be argued that 1t was a
polite thing to do, that Mayor Nc
Clellan has something up his sleeve"
and is foregoing no advantage in his
request for the tally sheets, but 1t is
better to give every man credit for
q good motive and not attempt to
minimize an honest act. 1t is best to
see the best. If Mayor Mcclellan
and Mr.. Hearst will each agree and
hold to an agreement refusing to profit
by political dishonesty they have start
ed the greatest reform movement ever
inpamted in New York and made
practical application OF the vital prin-
6cir1les of the Square DEAL"
