THE FARM AND RANGE

Laying aside her tremendous corn
crops and other notable achievements,
Iowa can lay claim to distinction for
her butter crop alone, which last year
netted more than $25.000,000. This
takes no account of the millions OF
dollars worth which went to grease
the gullet of the sturdy Iowa nus
bandry. More than 100000 pounds
were sold at an average of 25 cents
the pound.
Professor Jaffa. nutrition expert at
the California State University, mas
announced results of experiments he
is conducting to induce the hen to lay
eggs according to program, instead
of according to her own will. Hitherto
the hen has always decided to Degln
moulting in the middle of the summer
and has continued the process into
September, October or November
while eggs climbed to a dizzy height
in the market Professor Jaffa began
experiments three months ago and the
results justify him in stating that
eventually the hens moulting pro-
cesses will be subject to human con
troll.
The value of sugar brought into this
country during 1905 will far exceed
that OF any earlier year, according TO
bulletin issued by the bureau OF statis-
tics of the Department OF Commerce
and Labor. The bulletin says: THE
value of sugar imported during the
eleven months of 1905 ending with
November 5th was s14s,575.S45, of
which S51,4S5,256 was from the non
contiguous territory of the United
States. The estimate is that the total
sugar imports for 1905 will aggregate
considerably above $3.50, 100000, While
the highest figure in any fiscal year
prior to 1906 was 1927 100000 in 1894,
when an unusually large quantity was
imported in anticipation of charge
in the tariff
In connection with state meeting
of the Colorado State Grange, which is
to be held in Denver next November,
there will be held an agricultural and
horticultural exhibit. This announce
ment was yesterday made by ]. A.
Newcomb, master of the Colorado
| State Grange Mr.. Newcomb is enthu-
siastic over the plans of the exhibit
of Colorado products, and is of the
| opinion that much good will result
| therefrom. 1t is his idea to offer, If
possible. an extensive and liberal pre-
| MUM list for the best specimens
exhibited. He believes that if the lat
ter is given wide publicity, and the ma
| jority of the farmers of the state be-
cone interested, the exhibit can be
made record breaking one and
special crops will be raised by the
farmers. The result of these special
endeavors will be generally good, 1t
is believed, in the agricultural districts
throughout the state.-Denver Repub-
lican.

LINING UP ON STATEHOOD.
Insurpent Republicans Planning to
Permit Amendments.

Washington.-Oppo among the
Republican members of the House to
the Hamilton joint statehood bill
seems to be making little headway.
The leaders of the insurgents have pre-
pared a pledge for the signature of
Republicans who will vote to defeat a
rule preventing amendments to the
Hamilton bill. This was freely circu
lated to-day among the opponents of
Joint statehood and is now said to bear
forty-five signatures.
About twenty Republican members
are undecided on the statehood fight,
and the struggle TO win them by the
opposing factions is waxing hot. The
insurgents insist that many of their
sympathizers have not yet had an op-
portunity to sign the pledge, and claim
that they will readily obtain more than
sixty names. Administration support
ers declare the total strength of their
opponents is not much more than
forty.
An urgent deficiency bill will be
ready for the consideration of the
House in a few days and it is now ex-
pected that this will be laid before the
House after the Philippine tariff bill
has been disposed of, as the leaders
are said to be anxious to delay the
statehood bill until Speaker Cannon is
more certain how the Republican mem
bers stand on the measure.

TRAGIC HOTEL FIRE.
Burning of Large West Hotel at Min
neapoIis.

st. Paul.-The greatest hotel disas-
ter in the history of the Twin Cities
was the partial destruction by fire of
the West hotel in Minneapolis, with a
loss of eight lives Wednesday morn
ing. Death in spectacular form held a
crowd of thousands of persons in a
thrall of fear Daring firemen crawled
into smoke-filled rooms and drew from
the beds or from the floor near win
dows senseless bodies of men and
women. The Minneapolis fire depart
ment lost one of its number, but made
the finest stop and the most daring
rescues of smoke and flame-bound
persons that the records of Minneapo-
lis fires are every likely to contain.
Following is a list of the dead:
Capt. John Berwin, of truck No. 1;
fell from the fourth floor to the side
walk; was attempting to save Mrs.
Barlows life at the time.
w. G. Nichels, Minneapolis chamber
of commerce, suffocated in his room
on the sixth floor.
Thomas Summerville, Springfield,
Massachusetts, suffocated in his room
on the sixth floor.
]. E. Wolf, New York; suffocated in
his room on the seventh floor.
Clinton b. Lamme, New York: suf-
located in his room on the seventh

J. B. Peisniger, New York; jumped
from the seventh story window.
Mrs. M. E. Hodges, Minneapolis,
jumped from the seventh story win
dow.
William Black. New York; suffio-
Gated in room.
Eight persons are known to have
been seriously injured, among whom
is Mrs. B. d. Barlow, injured while
being rescued by Captain Berwin. Her
condition is critical.

BALFOUR BEATEN
LIBERALS WIN GREAT VICTORY IN
BRITISH ELECTION.
KEEN POLITICAL CONTEST
Conservatives Lose Eighteen Seats
Baifour Defeated in Manchester
District-Decisive Victory for Free


Distrtct-DecisiVe Victory TOR Free
Trade.
London.-The political map of Eng
land underwent a striking change as
the result of parliamentary elections
held Saturday in thirty-nine constit-
uencies in widely-scattered but import
ant centers, in which the Liberals
gained eighteen seats. The Laborites
who are counted among the Liberal
gains, secured four new seats against
Unionist candidates.
In the eastern division of Manches-
ter. Arthur j. Balfour, the former pre-
mier. was defeated by t. G. Horridge,
Liberal. Mr.. Horridge secured the re-
markable majority of 1880. This vic
tory was a decidedly sensational out
come of the days polling, and will, 1t is
believed enormously effect the cleo
tions. which will continue for a fort
night.
Winston Churchill, Liberal and Free
Trader. won the seat for the north
west division of Manchester from W.
on-Hicks, Conservative, by a ma
jority of 1,241.
Everywhere the Liberal majorities
were increased, and the net result Of
the first days contest between the
great political parties was overwhelm-
ingly in favor of the present govern
ment.
Although only sixty-six seats are now
filed out of the go required for the
new Parliament which will meet at
| Westminster February 18th, the com
| position of the house, as shown by the
results declared up to midnight, is as
follows: Liberals. SO; Unionists, IA;
Laborites G.; Nationalists, Z. This in
| cludes twenty-four candidate who
we're unopposed and the two candi-
| dates elected at Ipswich Friday.
Political clubs received the returns
by special wires, and everywhere the
| defeat of Mr.. Balfour was received as
a most complete surprise. Then as
Liberal gain was added to Liberal gain
until the remarkable total of twenty
two seats. counting the Laborites, out
| of thirty-nine constituencies was
reached, it was agreed that the Liberal
majority in the next Parliament
would show the overwhelming decis-
ion of the country.
Dispatches received from Manches-
ter say that the excitement there was
| ndescribable. Great crowds swarmed
the streets cheering and demonstrat-
ing with the utmost enthusiasm.
Mr. Balfour tonight addressed a
gathering "a the Conservative Club.
He acknowledged the gravity of the
disaster but predicted short life for the
Liberal government. He urged the
Unionists to continue to work for the
party and the future reversal OF Sat
urday's results.
OF course, Mr.. Balfour will find an
other safe seat before the elections are
over, by one of the Unionist candidates
retiring in his favor. Up to the pres
ent, however, there is no indication
where the former premier will find this
place where he can secure majority
which will enable him to take his seat
as a leader on the front opposition
bench.

LIBERAL LANDSLIDE.
New Government Continues to Gain
in British Elections.

London.-The Liberal landslide con-
tinues. Out of seventy-six contests
Monday the Liberals and Laborites to-
gether secured sixty-two seats. The
Liberal gains to-day show the surpris-
ing total of forty-two, while the Union
lists gained one seat, that of Hastings.
Two former cabinet officers went
down before the storm of Liberal SEN
timent.
Gerald Balfour, who was president
of the local government board in the
Balfour cabinet, was defeated by ma
jority of 1863 at Leeds. and Walter
Hume Long, former chief secretary
for Ireland lost his seat for South
Bristol, while Augustine Birrell, presi-
dent of the board of education, de-
feated the Unionist candidate at North
Bristol.
Lord Hugh Cecil, leader of the con-
servative free traders, was defeated
at Greenwich, and T. Gibson Bowles,
Unionist free trader. lost at Kings
Lynn, both being opposed by Chamber
lainites.
Aside from the overwhelming gains
by the liberals throughout the coun-
try, the immense majorities secured
in the turnover are causes of sur
prise to both sides
The labor candidates are showing
remarkable strength, the total gains
of the labor party Monday being
seven, not including one socialist. w.
Thorne. who, at Westham, defeated
the Unionist, Sir ]. G. Hutting, by a
majority OF 5000.
The composition of the new Parlia-
ment up to the present is as follows:
Liberals, 95; Unionists, 81; Labor
ties, II; Nationalists. IS; Socialists, l.
The total liberal gains number GA,
the gains made by the Laborites being
classed among the liberals.
Twenty-one London districts voted
Monday. Out of these hitherto Union
list strongholds the Unionists sue
ceeded in securing only five seats.
Three members of the new ministry
were returned by strong majorities-
| Herbert John Gladstone, secretary for
home affairs, the president of the
board of education, Birrell, and James
| Bryce, chief secretary for Ireland.
The attorney general. Sir ]. Lawson
Walton, also received large majority.

Colorado Soldiers Home.

Denver.-L. H. Cheney, president OF
the board of control of the Soldiers
and Sailors Home at Monte Vista, has
filed his annual report with Governor
Mcdonald. Its most notable feature
is the increase shown in the popula-
ton of the home. In 1900 there were
173 old soldiers and sailors resident of
the institution. In 1901 the popula-
tion- was 172; in 1902, 10; 1908,
191; 1904, 202, while in 1905 the num-
ber rose to 21S. For last year there
was spent for maintenance $37 .306.21,
and for improvements $13.955.44. l.
new administration building WAS
erected and other improvements made.
The health of the inmates is reported
good.
