products each year. The express in
tenton was that certain district

the defendants dissolved partnership,
and the plaintiffs sued for breach OF
the agreement, after the dissolution.
Held, that there was no implied term

would not disable themselves from car

The Philosopher has challenged the
governor to meet him in joint debate
in each of the eleven congressional
districts of the state Why does he
want to debate" with the governor ?
What does he want to talk about?
Does he think the governor would de-
fend the Dingley tariff and all the
other measures the standpatters in
dorse just for the purpose of having a
"debate?" Or does he propose to
oppose on the platform what he has
favored during the past five years in
his newspaper in order to appear be-
fore the footlights with the governor?
1t is philosophy which we do not
understand. the philosophy of a debate
between two men who have the same
views. Mr.. Perkins challenge is just
like a challenge would be from one
Methodist to another Methodist to
meet in joint debate. 1t would be

THE PROSPEROUS AMERICAN FARMER.

AS an evidence of farmers prosperity

counties in the state are quite as pros

The latest report of the secretary of
agriculture makes evident that pros
porous farming is not confined to the
corn country. The southern states
where as in Iowa and the other corn
states. general prosperity depends
greatly upon the success of the agri-
culturalists. have money to loan and

October. 1905, as many as 633 national
banks were organized in the south; IN

in some convenient vessel and pour on
twenty quarts of water. Put in two
double llandfuls of salt, four ounces
of ginger and four ounces of ground
poplar bark. Let 1t stand for about
twelve hours, then put it over fire and
boil it slowly until lit is boiled down
to thick jelly, which will take about
three hours. 1t must be stirred con-

ARE TWO CENT FARES coHrIscA1oRx7

In view of the agitation for two-cent
passenger fares in Iowa, Mr.. Slason
Thompson's presentation of the other
side of the case is interesting. In his
Passenger Fares on American Rail-
roads," he says that during the twelve
years since 1894, the rate per passenger
per mile in the United States has aver
aged 1899 cents, or something less than
posing to establish by law. 1t is alleg-
ed that the passenger traffic as a
whole is carried at loss-at the ex-
pense of the freight traffic Except in
densely peopled districts, the business
is carried on under difficulties. Often
empty cars have to be run, 1t being
impossible as rule. to get passengers
in CARROTS. If a car starts full 1T is
nearly empty before it reaches its des-

The conclusion reached by Mr..
Thompson is that passenger traffic in

the railway companies to make such
profit on this class of service. Ac-
cording to his figures. in 1904. the rev.

is a little more than 1 per cent on
one-third of the funded debt of the
railways of the United States. leaving
nothing for dividends on an equal pro-
portion of capital stock. In Europe
as a. whole, passenger business is more
profitable, it is argued. because of
density of population and the inferior
accommodations provided.

however for Mr.. Perkins to establish

Feeding Calves on Separator Milk.

NJ. b. Dunlap, a subscriber in Sully
Co, writes that a good many farmers
do not believe it possible to raise good
calves on separated milk. They do
not try particularly, and are deferred
from trying by the looks of the poor
and scrawny skim milk calves they
see in their neighbors' yards, calves
that are raised on separator milk. He
recommends the use of patent calf
meal that sells for about So per hun
dred pounds. and that is supposed to
contain 2 per cent of protein and B
per cent fats. and is also supposed to
be a good bowel regulator.
Our experience indicates that good
calves can be reared on separator
milk without the use of patent calf
meals and at less cost and trouble
too. There is no trick about growing
the skim milk calf The secret of this
business if there is any, is simply as

given in substance. The calf should
be given it's mothers milk three times
day and at the rate of four pounds,
or two quarts OF milk per feed. This
should be given at blood temperature,
or about 100 degrees and regular hours
should be observed in feeding. AT the
end of ten days, feeding twice a day
will be sufficient. Commence the use
of skim milk when the calf is nearly
two weeks old, substituting pound
per day in the ration of full milk until
the change is fully effected. Mean
while teach the calf to eat little
ground oats and corn meal. We sug-
sest feeding the meal dry and in a linn
tied amount. Commence with hand-
full and increase it to two or three
pounds per day at six months of age.
This suggestion is on the ground that
the digestion of starchy food depends
largely on the action of the saliva
contained in the mouth. Try to raise
calves strictly in accordance with the
above teaching and our word for 1t
that YOU will have calves that are a
pleasure to possess. Simply bear in
mind that the skim milk must be fresh;
it must be sweet; it must be OF
blood heat and be fed at regular IN
tervals Just observe these few rules
and you will have no use for patent
calf meal or the like.

Flax Seed Meal for Calves.

Flaxseed meal is much used with
skim milk for calves. This supplies
the fat removed by the separator and
thus restores the proper balance fol-
the skim milk ration. Care must be
used in feeding it. I have found it
best to cook the meal in water to a
thin Cruel About tablespoonful OF
the dry meal cooked in this way is
enough for a feed for young calf to
begin with. AS the calf grows and be-
comes accustomed to the feed, the
quantity can be increased. If at any
time the calf begins to scour the
amount of meal must be decreased
until the trouble is over.-Jas. H

1t is easy to read from the signs
that it is the intention of the Presi-
dent to give Cuba another oppor-
tunity, if she will accept it, "to
rule herself as the saying is,
though the saying is a misleading
one, even with reference to the best
Government. The Cubans, how
ever, have as little ability for self
government as any people IL the
world, and if the administration
does not know it now, it will prob
ably soon learn it from the best of
experts in such matters, Secretary
Taft. There is nothing complex
in the Cuban situation. Ninety
per cent of the property in the
island is Held by. foreigners, Span
jards, Americans, Germans, French
and Jews. Ninety-nine per cent
of the industries of the island are
owned or mana ged by foreigners.
There are but few other taxpayers
except foreigners. The rabble
native population is composed of
swash buckling politicians, Office
seekers and bandits. The foreign
ers above referred to are not citi-
zens of the Cuban republic, and
they cannot afford to be. They
dare not forego the measure of
protection afforded through the con-
sulates of the several countries to
which they claim allegiance, and
especially the protection of the
United States. To lose such pro-
lection would mean the inevitable
loss of life and property, for as has
been shown often and within the
last month, the Cuban government
cannot guarantee such protection.
The question then is between the
planters, the manufacturers, tn,
merchants-those who push legiti
mate enterprise and pay all tn

to hold the offices and swot th'
