In shipping live poultry 1t is a good
plan to grade the shipment. The fowls
should be fed all they will eat just
prior to shipment and for this purpose
no better feed can be found than shelled
corn. They should also have plenty
of water. A shipper informs US that
125 pounds Of live poultry will consume
g pounds Of shelIed corn on a 300
mile journey.-Iowa Homestead.

Oil meal is underyalued by the ordi-

farmers have a higher appreciation CT
its value and are not only willing to

from here to Europe. Oil meal has a
higher feeding value than simply what
Is shown by the chemical test. First.
1t is palatable, which means much, and

The German agrarian press Is very

ton of the government of Germany in
recsding from its attempt to compel
the United States to break down its
protective tariff system. The editors
were probably misled by the unauthor-

who talked as though it were a set

further consider the situation.-San

joy, or has it dwindled till it is only one

oulHvate Permanent Y..ture.

There Is a very consider able amount
Of land in Iowa and adjoining States
that should be kept In permanent pas
ture and never, except under very es-
peciai circumstances, be put under ro~
tation. The lands to WHICH we refer
are b lands varying from rolling t.
rough In the Kansas glaciatlon Ia
Southern Iowa and in Missouri lands
that are too rolling or tyo much cut
up with sloughs for easy cultivation.
and especially lands that have a large
percentage Of clay, which wash read
lily e with a very moderate rainfall.
In all the glaciation, as vell as in the
unglaciated districts of Eouthern Mis-
souri, and extreme souas~n portion Of
Illinois, there Is a good deal of land
of this character. Such lands should
be laid down in permanent pasture
composed largely of blle grass, and
fortunate Is the man who has lands OF
this kind that have never been broken
up at all. In fact, the best way to Sc
cure a stand Of blue grass on lands OK
this character is to seed prairie sod,
then pasture it closely, too closely, in
fact. for the benefit of the live stock

An agricultural paper advises an in-
quirer to keep his onions through the
winter by what is known as the freez-
Ing process; there is no doubt but that
the onions will keep; that is, they will
not rot, il properly frozen and kept at
just the right temperature. but what
the result will be when the thawing
process sets in Is hard to say, except
that the onions must be used as quick
ly as possible thereafter or they will
rot quicker than one can shovel them
put. By far the best way of storing
onions is to keep them in some place
where they will be perfectly dry and
yet where the temperature is not likely
to fall much, If any, below 80 degrees,
certainly not as low as freezing.
The best plan is to have a store house
especially for the purpose, which will
pay If one has any considerable guam
tity Of onions to put away. In the late
fall, unless the weather is toe severe,
ventilation should be given to this stor-
age house until the air is pure and as
dry as it is possible to have It with
out danger of its being too warm; then
close the house and keep it at about 30
degrees, and the onions will keep until
very late in the winter.

The Combination Cow.
There is incessant warfare between
the specialists in cow breeding and the
nan who wants a COW that Is both a
beef-maker and a milk maker. First
the combination COW was called q gen.
eral purpose COW, then a dual purpose
COW, and now some one mas nit upon
the name given above. While the spe-
cialist is right In some things, ne Is
wrong In others. Certainly I the man
that is producing milk with the idea Of
selling it must produce hat milk from
the COW that will make it as cheaply
as possible, and this he will find among
the distinctly dairy cows. But there Is
a place for the combination cow. On
the high-priced land in Illinois and adj
joining States the man who is prOduc-
ing beef cattle Is learning that it Is Inn
possible to make money by producing
beef cattle alone. He must utilize the
milk-giving power Of h'S cows as much
as possible. Therefore. he wants a
cow with a beef form n deep powers
Of milk-giving. These kinds Of cows
are in existence. They are not suitable
! to go into the dairy, but are suitable
as an adjunct to beef making.-Farm-

All a Bluff.

In one of the campaigns of the Civil
War a Union general made elaborate
plans of offense and defense against
the enemy which was in front Of him
and which he imagined was strongly
fortified. One morning it vas discov-
cred that the enemy had withdrawn
during the night. The army opposed
forward to take possession of
the Notifications and guns. When the
latter were reached it was seen that
the most of the guns which had looked
out from those ramparts and caused
the extra cautious general to cry Wig
orously for reinforcements and await
their arrival were painted logs as
harmless as wooden Indians. To be
thus deceived was bad enough, but
hat all along this general who
vas holding back his army had known
that these huge muzzles sticking out
from those earthworks were but i'm
potent logs? Well, we very seldom
build to that kind of fight
ing men.
This incident is recalled as we con
template the German tariff bluff and
the loud cutlery from the noble array of
patriots who were SO scared of Ger
many's wooden guns. The worst thing
about these fellows was that most of
them knew just how little there was
behind this German demonstration.
They NEW there vas nothing but form
and paint there. Yet they demanded
unconditional surrender.-Cedar Rap

Revf e the Tariff OF Course.
Back Of all, and overlooking all, will
be the tariff issue.-The Hon. John
Sharp Williams, In defining the Demo-
cratic issues for 1908.
That Democrats Of Mr.. Williams
kind would seek to make the tariff a
leading issue was to be expected. The
tariff, being a concrete effort to meet
existing conditions, is always open to
discussion because those conditions
change. Nor are thinking Republicans
at all alarmed by the prospect Of a
tariff campaign in 1908. They are not
afraid Such Republicans do not regard
the Dingley schedules as sacred, nor
any tariff as Interchangeable.
Such Republicans recognize that
conditions have changed since the
Dingley tariff was enacted. Industries
which once needed protection have so
prospered and grown that they are the
wonder OF the world to-day and well
able to stand alone. Various schedules
will have become practically antiquated
by 1908, and possibly some of them
will be even oppressive. With changes
In the Industrial situation, tariff re
vision will have become advisable and
desirable. So, IL the Democrats shall
propose in 1908 a tariff revision to meet
changed conditions. they will find the
Republicans on the same ground, and
the question will be simply which party
shall be trusted to do the revising
wisely.
But II the Democratic party hanks
back-and this Is what Mr.. Williams
probably means-to its old tariff for
revenue-onIy program-demanding that
the protective policy be wiped put with
out consideration Of its benefts-the
result Is already foreknown. The
American people do not care for an
other such experience as that Of 1893.

which bids fair to do more toward max

where he has been establishing stations.
preparatory to the actual killing next

Mr.. Kildall is in fact only beginning.
In the old days. you know. Of course.
whaling ships went out on three TO four
year cruises and the work was hazardous
In the extreme, and all they brought
back was the oil and whalebone, and
many whales were killed just for the
bone after the barrels were all filled
with oil. Not so noE.
We hunt whales with = small, speedy.
staunch steamer, and the killing Is done
with machine gun. looking much Ike
d rapid-fire marine gun. We fire a har-
pon at a great distance into the whale.
and kill him. The harpoon, or dart, is
fitted with a bomb that explodes after it
enters the body. killing him at once.
Then the windlass works. and pulling
back on the dart. opens up the sharp
ianges which hold it IN place.
You know a whale sinks like a shot
when he is killed, and IN order to keep
ham afioat, we force a steel tube into
him. attach a rubber hose, and with
steam power blow him full Of air. This
floats him. and tying him up by the tzii
to the bow. he can float two big whales
into our station very nicely. where i'm
mense wenches raise him up to land.
where we can work upon him Then the
steamer is of again for another killing
Mr.. Kildail states that the best whale
field In the world is near the Alaska
stations he has selected, and that there
will be whale enough for rapid killing
for fifty years by the steam and smoke
less powder way. Every bit OF the
whale is used. OIL. whalsbone, guzno,
and the finest of leather are the products.
