sun has risen in Iowa. a new day is

political pathways as they may.
But these will be few. Below all the

Plowina When Wet or Dry.

Sandy soils are usually not injured
by handling when wet, but the case is
different with clay soils, says W. j.
Spillman in Renovation of Worn Out
Soils A fair quality of brick can be
made from any heavy clay soil by
working thoroughly when wet and then
driving in the sun The effect produced
by working clay soils wet is known as
pudding.
Irrigation bitches in the west are
puddled by first flooding them to make
them muddy and then driving bands OF
sheep along in the mud. This makes
the bottom impervious to water and
prevents loss from leakage.
If clay soil is plowed. or even har-
rowed. when too wet, it is more or less
puddled. In this condition 1t becomes
cloddy and impervious to air and wa
ter. Old roadways that have been
thoroughly puddled from traffic in all
kinds of weather may be distinguished
in fields many years after they have
been plowed up and put into cultiva-

THE M0RNING AFTER.

1t has been a long, hard fight, and so
far as party possession and expression
ii is over in Iowa. Majority is to rule.
So much is settled. The assembled
delegates have repudiated the corpora
ton methods, the Salingers, Hunters,
and that ilk of "pohiticians." The
party as a party is not divided, but
unified, and the call is for peace and
harmony.
1t should be the earnest hope ano
effort of every republican to bring this
about-in honor. Harmony in Iowa
means freedom from corporation dom-
nation of politics, a primary law that
shall offer the individual voter an OPP
portunity to make his voice effectively
heard in the selection of candidates
and the formation of party policies. III
we have done with the railroad regime
in politics. if officials and Legislators,
state and national, are to be chosen by
the people to serve the people there
will be harmony in Iowa The core of
republican harmony in this state is
nen-interference by corporate interests
with the will of the majority.
Without application of the lex tall
ionis there are men in Iowa and the
communities of Iowa whose self-eface-
ment from politics would add much to
the growth of harmony. They have
had their fling, have obeyed corpora
ton orders rather than the dictates of
their own consciences or the voice OF
their duty to the sense and sentiment
of their own constituencies and COM
munities. The interests of harmony
aud the dictates of good taste would
counsel their retirement from posi-
lions of leadership and of an advisory
capacity.
1t is no time to crow. Neither is it
q time for concessions that include any
of the reforms and principles about
which this great battle has been wageo
There is no occasion for a Roman trl>
umph Neither is there occasion to
weaken the results that have been
achieved.

kiIIina Willows in a Pasture.

A writer in Prairie Farmer says:
have on my farm a swale which was
thickly covered with willows, with an
underground of blackberry bushes
making an almost inpenetrable thicket
Fifteen years ago 1 fenced in a pasture
including this swale and have kept cat
tile on it ever since.
The blackberry bushes and all the
young willows not too tall or too stiff
for the cattle to reach their foliage dis
appeared within two years, and not a
sprout of either has been visible since.
The older willows have gradually died
and fallen; but few of them now sur
vive and they are in a decaying condi-
ton.
Cattle (and I presume sheep and
goats, tho / have had no experience
with them) are very fond of the foliage
and tender twigs of the willow and of
the blackberry. When branches of the
willow are broken off by the wind they
d,evour every green thing on them
greedily.

Sweet Corn for Hogs.

| The profit accruing from hog raising
especially for the pork market, depends
largely upon the cost of the feed. The
| ability of the farmer to- produce his
own feed has been regarded by some OF
| the most successful feeders and hog
raisers as matter of great impor-
lance toward securing largest profits
from the business.
When this idea of increasing the
profit by a proper production of feed
on the farm, we here give some ex-
perience that is worth great many
dollars to every feeder who has not
practiced it heretofore and who will
now adopt it. 1t belongs to the system
of intense farming, says the exchange.
1t is the production of hog feed from
sweet corn grown by the farmer; we
do not know of any way by which
farmer can produce so much FEED Tor
so little money, as in planting patch
of a few acres of sweet corn. 1t fur
nishes the pigs and hogs with a sue
culent food, which is not only relshed
by them. but gives a good growth and
gain to them. 1t can be cut as soon
as the silk is on the corn and continue
until the corn is ripe, and the nutrl-
ment in the, stalk is such that they
will eat it up entirely clean. Nor is
this the only season that it supplies
the pigs. 1t can be harvested, cured
and fed out in winter time, and will be
found extremely valuable and profit
able as feed.
A gentleman in the office not long
ago asserted that in his carrying on a
dairy, that one of the secrets of his
success was in supplying himself each
wear with small field of sweet corn
for his cows That it made an in
creased flow of rich milk, and that he
had formed the plan of cutting it up
and curing it and feeding it to his COWS
during the winter. That it increased
the yield of butter and gave it that rich
color that June grass does.
Some of the best practical dairymen
were present at farmers exhibit held
in January. where this gentleman fur
nished an exhibit and had butter which
was pronounced either June butter or
highly colored with artificial coloring.
and only his word and explanation of
feeding satisfied them that it was not
colored by the use of some colorng not
naturally in the milk.
We give. this statement In regard to
sweet corn at this time so that parties
can prepare and plant crop of it for
the purpose of hog feed if needed. with
the full confidence tuat they will find IL
all that is claimed for 1T.

the tariff. First, it reiterates its UNI
faltering adherence to the established
American principle of protection. "Du-
ties on foreign imports" it declares,
should not be levied for revenue only,
but should be so adjusted as to pro-
mote our domestic interests, enlarge
our foreign markets. secure remuner-
alive prices for the products of our
factories and farms and maintain a
superior scale of wages and standard
of living for American labor. Wise
and unselfish tariff laws maintained in
the interest of the general welfare,
equally opposed to foreign control and
domestic monopoly, are essential to our
commercial and industrial prosperity.
We believe that all inequalities in the
tariff schedules which inevitably arise
from changing industrial and CONNER
cial conditions should be adjusted from
time to time, and condemning without
reserve all assaults upon the protective
system, we favor such reasonable and
timely changes as will keep the tariff
in harmony with our industrial and
commercial progress. We favor the
reciprocity inaugurated by Blaine, ad-
vocated by Mckinley and Roosevelt,
and recognized in republican platforms
and legislation"

spirit of republication, the republ-

put up and ready to exhibit in about
two weeks, and wants every grower
in the county to make it a point to
visit it and see what a revout. on in
the matter of drying and caring for
hops at the minimum of expense
and with much less risk from loss by
fire, has taken place within the pass
few years. The following brief de-
scription of the hop drier will give
an idea of what it is like and what
it does.
There are three long crates made
of Stats, the bottom being exactly
like the old kiln floor, covered with
kiln cloth and sides with canvas.
These crates completely and tightly
fill the kiln by being little wedge
shaped, thus causing the sides to fit
up close together. The center crate
rests on a long truck which stands
on track communicating with the
store room. Under each crate are
Hanged wheels at right angles to the
truck wheels so that each truck can
move sideways off and onto the
truck. Outside of the kiln and con-
nected to, but at right angles with
the main track, is a side track onto
which crate No. is easily run.
''To fill, one crate is placed on the
side track. one on the main track, at
the elevator, or place of unloading
the sacks from the wagon. and one
is left in the kiln. The sacks of hops
are then loaded into the crate on the
main track. direct from the wagon,
showed into the kiln and moved to
place on one side, the empty crate
which was left in the kiln is showed
onto the truck, taken out. loaded
and placed back into position. Fin
ally the last crate is loaded and in
place in the center, which finishes
the kiln floor. These crates Con
wheels are showed back and forth
by simply pulling a small rope fixed
so as to move them on and off the
truck at pleasure. The hops are
then emptied from the sacks and
are easily made of uniform depth
by the sides of the crates acting as
guides.
after the hops are dried they are
rolled out to the store house in
these crate-cars and by a very clever
device. which only requires the
movement of a lever, the sides and
half bottom on each open and dump
the evenly dried unbroken hops
with all the lupuline into the bin.
''This is all done with scarcely
any labor and in less than one-fifth
of the time used in the old way,
there being no sweeping of pipes, no
destruction of kiln cloth and in case
of accident by fire. there is no nee
essity of losing the kiln and not
even all the hops therein.
This hop drier saves enough in
time and labor to pay for itself in
one year if one has many hops. be-
sides the hops will sell from one
half cent to one and a half cents
more per pound than when dried in
the old way
