Out of Nazareth.
"
TWall Street Journal. I


There are two features In our indus
trial and political system which may
as well get ready to qui. business.
They are the criminal corporation and
the corrupt official. Unless the signs
Of the times are grossly naisread, the
handwriting is already on the wall in
dicating that their doom is not dis
tant.
True, there will always be corporate
officials who, according to the eternal
fitness of things should be in Jail, and
there will be public officials who have
no higher sense of duty than to help
themselves to everything in sight, short
of landing themselves in prison. But
these are but Incidental to the normal
degree Of integrity which an Intelligent
popular judgment is beginning to an
sist on, as a requisite for office, COR
porate or public.
There is now going on searching Of
records, scrutiny into careers which
is gradually shelving the man who
cannot be successful in business with
out being a criminal. The type must
go, whether by self elimination, by
force Of judicial procedure or by dint
Of outraged public feeling.
If the good will Of ones fellow men
is worth having, it must be gotten, not
by gifts, nor by deception, but by play
ing fair with them. One cannot fleece
the public by methods which popular
sentiment regards as immoral and at
the same time count on the, respect
and esteem of ones neighbors or fell
low citizens.
This is not scolding anybody, mind
you. 1t is the inevitable fate to which
greed brings those who are driven
along by it's passion. What tho man
may prosper? The hot wrath of popu-
lar sentiment will wither his prosper
ity, if he reckons prosperity by the
good will of his fellow men. To live in
an atmosphere of the hatred of ones
neighbors is hell, and that is what the
wrong doors in the management Of
corporations in disregard of law, of
justice and of common honesty, must
expect to get in allopathic doses, as the
natural reward of their methods.
Fortunately for the country, the vast
majority of our business men, whether
engage. in corporations or otherwise,
have nothing to fear from this "hot
wrath" for it is not directed against
them.

Corn and Glover Hay.

Thirty-nine head of 977-pound year
ling steers were sold in Chicago mar
ket last week at $6.10-a good price for
cattle of that kind. They were fed by
j. r. Crawford of Burlington. Iowa,
who in speaking of their handling
says: II raised the calves, they being
out of grade Angus cows and a pure
bred bull They averaged in age about
161h months when sold. 1 began feed
ing them Nov. IA, 1905, by giving them
about quarts of oats and corn mixed
to each animal, and increased the
quantity gradually until the 1st Of
March. Then I opened up the self
feeder and kept it full of shelled corn
for them until they were marketed. In
getting them onto full feed In
creased the feed, as I thought such
cattle could or would stand it. One has
to be more careful with young cattle
than with older steers. For roughage
they received clover hay as long as it
lasted and the rest of the time timothy.

shelled Corn on Grass.

Seventeen head of Angus steers av-
eraging 1883 pounds sold last week on
the Chicago market al 81. They were
bred and fed by w. r. Fur1nan. OF Mil
ledgeville, H., who gives his methods
of handling them as follows: Il raised
those cattle, they being sired by my
own Angus herd bull. The average
weight of the bunch at the beginning
of feeding period was SCI pounds, and
they were on feed 240 days. thus max
ing gain of over two pounds a day.
The cattle ran thru the stalk fields UNI
til the 10th of last January. when they
were given little corn fodder until
the 1st of March. On the 1st of March
I began feeding them twenty punches
of corn fodder-ten in the morning and
ten in the evening-and fed them that
way for fifteen days. After that I be-
gan to feed them two baskets of ear
corn once a day, increasing the amount
a half basket a day until they were
receiving eight baskets. They We're
fed this way until the list of June, when
they were turned on grass and fed
shelled corns it being so they could
have it any time they wished it. On
September began cutting green corn
and hauling it to them, and on Septem-
Der Is began swapping corn and mix
ing it with shelled corn for two weeks,
and then they were Fed, snapped corn
altogether During the last two months
the cattle were fed four bushels Of oats
per day with the corn. I did not feed
any commercial feeding stuffs, and the
only roughage the steers received was
corn fodder fed in a manger. My feed
yard is skis rods, with a shed 5Ox20
feet for shelter. The yard did not get
muddy, as 1 kept it we'll bedded with
straw and corn fodder. Sixty head OF
hogs followed these steers, and when
they sold they brought me in about
$3.50 If I was feeding another bunch
I would feed the same way, for / never
had a bunch of cattle do as we'll as
they did"

INVESTIGATE THE YOUNG MAN.

From Lineville. little village divid-
ed from Missouri by the southern
boundary of Iowa, comes lit
tie story of real life that might have
been written by the author of Dora
Thorne, and staged by Mr.. Fitch. or
The guests are assembled for a we'd
ding. The bride is beaming nervous
ly thru her tears; the groom happy as
man can be Gin conventional black
and facing a battery of curious and
critical eyes; father and mother sad
ly joyful; music, lights, and delicate
watts of good cooking stealing in full
of promise from the kitchen-in short
village wedding party in village
environment The ministers enters;
he faces the groom, starts with recog-
milton, glares, and with leveled finger
denounces him and avows personal
knowledge of his crimes. The young
woman in the case takes the preach
er's word for it and sends the heavy
VILLAIN out into the cold world unwed.
Curtain. and a satisfied audience.
Southern Iowa seems prolific of this
sort of sensation. Some months ago
young woman at Mt. Ayr had hidden
the wedding guests to her nuptials
with a Cuban grandee of fabulous
wealth and wide ancestral estates,
whom she had met and charmed in
an informal fashion at the st. Louis
exposition In this case the wife and
three children of the pseudo prince and
millionaire showed up over in little
Illinois town, deserted and hungry, in
time to save silly girl from irretriev-
able mischief. Don Cespedo de Saler-
atus was given his walking papers and
the girl would long ago have forgotten
him If the neighbors would let her. But
they won't.
Here are two typical cases where
girls, smitten with the charms of men
of whose past and origin they knew
actually nothing, were ready to wager
their future on their own uninformed
judgment and where the parents con-
Cured In either case it would have
been easy to have secured the informa-
ton earlier and with less loss of social
prestige and self respect.
Something is wrong with the sys-
tenn. The newspapers and the records
Of the courts are full of instances
where the girls were not so fortunate
as the two who escaped at cost OF
some fleeing humiliation and few
tears. 1t is true that in almost any
community villain Of smooth appear
ance and with glib tongue can find
a decent girl to marry him without
Investigation and almost without in
curry into his antecedents. Are our
young women over anxious to marry,
or is this state of affairs attributable
to the open and in many cases unwise
liberty permitted the average middle
class girl? Isn't it time for a rennais-
sance of the old time parental author
ity, the old fashioned kind that as
sumed the right to control, if it was
not permitted to guide, the destinies Of
young girls and the duty to investigate
mem who aspired to marriage with it's
DAUGHTERS?

SteriIity in Hogs.

1t sometimes happens thru the fault
of either the male or female that con-
ception fails to take place after copu-
lation, or as we generally say, the ami
mails fail to breed. We have heard of
So many instances OF barrenness this
fall that an article on the subject may
be of benefit to our readers. The caus-
es for impotency in the male are lack
of exercise, too close confinement, old
age. or the feeding of fattening foods,
which often cause a fatty degeneration
of the testicles. IInpotency may also
be due 20 under developed sexual Or
gans or an injured penis.
Sows are often sterile on account OF
excessive fairness, such as is seen in
animals that are fatted for exhibition
purposes, a fatty or undeveloped con-
dition of the ovaries, or to the closing
of the maternal passages. sometimes
the opening into the womb is so rigid
that 1t prevent "nicking.' This con-
dition often appears in young soWs
The sexual organs of the SOW may be
undeveloped or the uterus abnormally
small, which are other causes of steril-
ity. Both sexes fail to breed in old
age.
In treating for this trouble. care
should be given to the feeding of the
animals and they should not be given
any ration of fattening character
Exercise must be had, SO that the more
range the breeding animals are allow
ed to have, the more likely they are to
breed. The parents must be healthy
themselves or they cannot be expected
to produce strong healthy offspring.
Care should be taken not to use the
male to freely. especially when he is
young, and excessive use
should always be avoided. When ster-
ility In females occurs, caused by a
closure of the opening into the womb,
this trouble may be remedied by dilat-
ing the part with an instrument es-
pecially prepared for this purpose. A
closure of the maternal passages with
fat may be overcome by feeding less
fattening foods and allowing the SOW
plenty of exercise. Animals of either
sex should not be bred so long as there
is any unnatural discharge from the
parts. For Leucorrhoeal discharges
local treatment with disinfectants
should be used.

Ruildina An Ice House.

Build your ice house in the shade by
all means. Wood is the best material
to use in building the house. You will
need no floor, more than some rails or
poles covered with straw to keep the
ice off the ground. With the kind OF
soil you describe you will not have to
make any extra provisions for drain
age. The water from the melting Ice
will be absorbed. The size, IL by IL
feet, is rather small, says the New
Yorker. Allowing s inches for inter-
wall space and inches between the
inner wall and the ice, you will have
a block of ice only little more than
8 feet square. Such small cube ice
melts much faster than does larger
mass. 1t will be disadvantage to
build below the level of the ground on
account of drainage, for one thing, and
also for other reasons. A small housa
should be about as high as dimensions
on the ground. A double roof is best
but IL the house is in the shade 1t may
be dispensed with. There should be
openings at each end under the apex
of the roof for ventilation. In this lat
itude, ice houses need not necessarily

quently been in houses where you
could see out of knot holes and cracks
on every side, and yet the owners
seemed to have plenty Of ice all thru
the season.
1t is good practice, however, to make
the outer wall as tight as carpenter
can make it, with good matched lum-
Der free from knot holes or cracks. The
inner wall may be of any kind of old
boards which will hold the sawdust,
which is generally used to pack in be-
tween the walls. 1t pays to have a
good foundation for an ice house. Have
"a mason to lay wall and see that the
stills are cemented to the wall perfectly
tight. The essentials Of a good Ice
house are tight exterior walls, provis-
ions for keeping the ice off the ground,

GETTING RICH QUICK.

GETTING RICH QUICK.
The epidemic of get-rich-qulck
schemsc which ARE now being preseHteu
to a prosperous public thru full-page
advertisements in newspapers that are
Mt narticular as to what use is mace
of their columns, has caused wen
known brokerage firm in chicago "
send ont a circular warning bankers
To carlton their friends as to the dan
ger of being caught in these attractive
traps.
An editorial in the Economist OF oc-
tober 9th referred to this now very
common form of swindling and reei'eu
the fact that officers of the First Ma
+;ona, Bank in Chicago had been COM
PEELED to buy a whole page IN the Ghl-
cago dailies in which to deny thae
thew had ever made profits or ever
owned any stock in a certain mining
scheme which had been advertising us
stock by using these bankers names
without permission.
Times are so prosperous and many
men have done so we'll in manufactur-
ing and land speculation, and people
ait large have so much spare money
that victims for glittering mining
stock schemes well advertised are as
ho,ntiful as the corn crop in Iowa
and are harvested with far greater
ease.
Regarding the many forms OF stock
promotion wherein stock is sold at lo
cents per share which is "sure to go
tn $40. by such and such date, this
experienced bond and stock broklng
firm says that it is a very common
thing for the promoters to pay large
monthly dividends out of the receipts
from the sale of other stock which re-
,duces them to Miller's n-per-cent-a-
month rich in -a-minute plan for
which he is now serving peniten-
tiary term.

ground where large capital is repre-
scented by men competent to judge ana

event, while the one which seeks full

ually of the get-rich- quick, lift-me-by-
my-bootstraps kind.
During our forty years experience"
saws this brokerage firm, dealing in
conservative real estate and other
bonds and mortgages, we have investl-
gated many of these golden opportun-
tiles to get rich quick and have in
variably found some essential features
of safety to be lacking, tho the circu-
lars and advertisements usually are SO
carefully worded as to avoid legal liza
bility for false representations" They
then point out that the shrewdest in
vestors, such as presidents of trust
companies and insurance companies
can make only and 6 per cent on
their money without sacrificing the
element of safety and it must follow
that the pl1blic will not do any bet
ter than the trained fnancier unless
safety be sacrificed and to the risk in
the speculative enterprise be added the
probability that the promoters are ras-

How Experts Feed.

A bunch of 100 head of prime steers
averaging from 1860 TO 1885 pounds
We're sold on the Chicago market las.
week by ID. Mclaughlin of Washing
ton, Iowa, for $40. Mr.. Mclaughlin,
who has been very successful as a
feeder, tells of his methods of handling
these cattle as follows: These cattle
were years old and had been on feed
24O days They were shorthorns ana
averaged about 1000 lbs at the begin
ming of the feeding period They were
dehorned, as | think they look better,
and they feed much better when they
have no horns. During the summer and
fall they were fed half feed of corn
FOR the first 100 days. then full feed Of
she!led corn for the balance of the
time. In getting them onto full feed
gradually increased the feed, taking
plenty OF time say about 30 days. NO
grains were fed other than corn, when
was fed in the ear and also shelled
and fed in self-feeder. For roughage
the cattle had grass. AS they were en-
tirely fed while in the pasture no yard
was used Two hundred head of hogs
were allowed to run after the steers
and they gained about 100 pounds pei
head during the period. / think my
feeding method is satisfactory and in
tend to follow it again. I prefer ear
corn to any other feed for cattle. They
eat 1t slowly, chew 1T better and conse-
quently get more nourishment from IT..
OF all the ground feed I think cotton
seed meal is the best and would use
it in wiHter feeding. DO not think 1T Is
any benefit while on grass. If shelled
corn Isl fed 1t should be fed in self
feeders and the cattle allowed to run
TO them II allowed to get hungry they
eat 1t too fast and without chewing 1t,
and bad results follow"

till the count is finished which should
not be later than an hour after the
