classes of people-the soldier, who de-
tends the land; the sailor, who protects
the main. and the farmer, who tills the
soil. 1t is general belief that the
humble ttller of the soil needs no edu-
cation. However. his work is by far
the most important Of the three and TO
his education more attention should be
devoted than to the other two classes.
AS look into the faces Of these peo-
pie I see many men well past middle
age. They are too old to adopt new
theories with which to replace their
present muethods. These men do not
come to such meetings as this to learn
new theories, but to inspire younger
men, who are learning new methods
and plans, with their experiences.
Is Not a Horseless Age.
There are four different classes Of
live stock that are raised for the mar
kets, horses. cattle, hogs and sheep.
According to the yellow journal and the
popular periodical this is growing to be
horseless age. This is not the truth.
not decreased. They need good heavy
draft horses and saddle horses as bad
as they ever did.
"a good horse Is to be judged by it's
size. substance, quality Of bone and ac-
ton. Eastern Iowa furnishes more
draIt horses than any other district IN
the United States"
The speaker dwelt upon the other
kinds of stock grown by the farmer for
the market. He said in part:
Want More Meat, Not Fat.
There are two kinds Of cattle that
are raised for the market, the dairy
COW and the beef COW. 1t is not more
fat that Chicago markets want but
more flesh. The stock men are coming
more and more to the growing of purer
strains Of cattle and the cattle in this
section Of the country are improving in
contrast to the degeneration of the
| horses"
Wapello county as leader in Iowa
in the sheep growing industry itself, as
well as the position occupied by this
county in the raising Of hogs, formed
the subject Of Mr.. Crossly's remarks
during the remainder Of his discourse.
! In closing he said: There is an
opening for an improvement In the live
stock Of the county. There are things
that the farmer can do to produce re-
suits and bring returns"

from farms which were improved in
this manner. He said in part:
"The price Of land thus treated Is
higher, thing increasing the value Is
per cent. Tiled land produces crops Of
an even quality, as the dampness Is
more generally distributed, there being
no dry spots here and damp holes
there.
In the early spring and late fall It
is almost impossible to work land that
is not tiled because it is too soggy or
because it is frozen, but with tiled
land, the moisture is carried away from
the surface and 1t Is generally possible
to cultivate the LAND.
Hastens termination of Seed.
Drainage removes all excess surface
water AMI raises the temperature of the
soil and causes quick termination Of
the seed.
Some people tile tier land for the
purpose of selling It, and some drain 1t
for the purpose Of getting good results
from their own cultivation. Now in tho
first instance they put in small tile
without regard to the needs Of the land.
In the second case they note carefully
the size Of thing installed, using large
tile for fiat ground. Tor rolling ground
smaller tile may be used with good re-
suits. In thing You must study the
principles of drainage. using a uniform
system. -Four feet, think, Is the deep

The way to determine whether you
have your tile set deep enough or too
deep is to keep a close watch on the
freedom with which the surplus water
flows in the drain

Navy May Try Turbines.

Washington. Sept. S.--The bureau
OF steam engineering is preparing To
make further inquiry into the turbine
as q possible substitute for the re-
ciprocating engine on naval ships
There is the remotest chance of the
adoption of the turbine, cn the next
battleship 10 be designed, but at pres
ent the experts see no good reason
for departing from the true and tried
mechanism for naval propulsion.
There have been several inspections
OF the transatlantic liners which are
equipped with turbines. but the in
formation obtained has not been en-
tirelv satisfactory: in fact, concern
ing the expenditure of coal the most
importlnt feature. II has been almost
impossible to obtain reliable informa-
tion. This and other features are kept
under cover. and Il has come. to he
appreciated that there may be good
reasons for considering the turbine
more expensive In operation-at least
as to coal consumption-than the re-
ciprocating engine.
At the same time the bureau de-
sires to obtain all possible informa-
ton on the subject. and to this end
will pursue the inquiry, the next step
being the detail OF Lieutenant Com
mander II. p. Norton, now on duty In
the bureau of steam engineering, for
an observation trip on the steamer
Carmania, upon which is installed the
Parsons turbine. Commander Norton
will be accompanied by a bureau
draughtsman and will seek to add to
the departments fund OF information
in regard to turbine operation WITH
If possible, some record of the expen-
dlture of coal, 1t is hoped to make
comparisons with another steamer of
identical dimensions, the Caronia,
which is equipped with reciprocating
engines.

nue. of from 100000 to $4,000 from
the imposition of tonnage and naviga-
ton, dues upon ships from outside
ports. But on August 81 the govern
ing commission passed an act for the
abolition of the dues. It gives up a
tax OF which there has been some
complaint, and Manila gets the advan-
tage of being "a free port.
In the same connection reference Is
made to her improved narbor facili-
ties. The improvements Will cost,
when completed, several million dol
lars, and include the dredging to, a
depth of 80 feet over an aera of 400
acres, the reclamation of waste land,
and an 1S-foot channel entrance to
the Pasig river.
The statement concerning the abo-
lltion of dues which was sent out by
the bureau Of insular affairs makes
a comparison which shows that while
Manila is now a FIRE port there is not
such a port In any other oriental cOun-
try. Hongkong, commonly called a
free port, imposes a tax, designated
light dues, OF 1 cents Mexican per
ton This IL the smallest charge, and
there are variations for different
ports ranging as high as 29 cents.
In the Philippines the duty has been
6 cents per ton, or 80 cents per ton
per annum. Manifestly under such
a system short sailing vessels which
made many entries, like those from
the Asiatlc coast, had an advantage
over those which made long distance,
and paid full rates. American ships
therefore, should be among those tha
receive distinct benefit from the
change.

How to remove the federal quaran-
tine and other problems were subjects
of discussion at the meeting of the
Umatilla County Woolgrowers' associa-
tion which convened in the rooms of
the Commercial association this after
noon.
After the session had been called to
order by Perry Gould, president, the
subject of stock inspection was taken
up and Douglas Belts, the Pilot Rock
sheepman, spoke fer several minutes
in favor of state inspection instead of
the present system of county inspec-
tion.
Following Mr.. Belts Dan p. Smythc
secretary of the association, brought
up the subject of lifting the federal
quarantine and said that in his judg-
ment the association should father a
movement for legislative act that
would so clean the state of scab that
the quarantine could he raised. He
moved that a committee of five be
named to draft bill to be recon-
mended for passage by the legislature.
Dr.. George S Hickox, head of the
bureau of animal industry IN the west,
who was present at the meeting. was
called on for his views upon how to
raise the federal quarantine and said
in part;
There is but one way IN which the
sheepmen of Oregon can be released
from the federal quarantine. and that
is by eradicating the scab. If you will

At $3.50 the discussion upon the
subject of the federal quarantine was
ended, and when the motion TO an
point the committee of five was voted
upon, II carried unanimously.
The proposition of quarantine law
which will protect the sheepmen OF
this state from the iroads of Wash

discussed at length, the slogan of the
different speakers being as given
above.

Seattle, Sept. S.-Lumher and shin

THE SALMON OUTPUT DOUBLES.
State Fisheries Secure Twice as Many
Eggs Last Year.

Salem, Sept. S.-According to the
report of Master Fish Warden H. G.
Van Dusen, as submitted to the board
of fish commissioners, yesterday after
noon, the take of salmon eggs this
season. in all hatcheries, will exceed
that of former years by nearly dou-
BILE.
In many cases this is due to the
increased capacity of several of the
hatcheries but in many instances the
capacity had to be increased in order
to take care of the surplus quantity
of eggs taken over previous expecta-
tions and for which no provision had
been made.
The greatest increase Is noted on
the Mckenzie river where a total OF
1.2S5,000 eggs have been taken VI
70 August 81, as against 100000 last
year, and Mr.. Van Dusen expects this
total take this year will amount tc
5000, 900.
