IOWA AND OTHER PLACES.

According to a government report,
the advance per acre in the price Of
medium sized farms in the United
States within the last five years aver
ages $731. In 1900 the average price
was $3.50; in 1906 it had risen to
s2s.11, an advance of about SS Is per
cent.
Some of the prices and advances
noted appear beggarly to the farmers
OF the middle west. where acre values
are counted in 800 bills, and the ads
vance in prices double and treble, in
many cases Quadruple, the original
price and advance on much of the better
eastern and southern lands. Mary
land and the District of Columbia are
credited with an advance in the years
between 1900 and 1905 from $2s.9s an
acre to 1881; Delaware, from $32.2S
to $37.46; Virginia. from $16.19 to
s20.62; West Virginia, from 1881 to
$23.l1; North Carolina, from $11.7S to
$500 In Mississippi, for example, the
increase was from $1,000 an acre in
1900 to 1854 an acre in 1905. whereas
in Maine the advance was from $2O.52
to $23.13, and in Massachusetts, from
$4129 to $45.47. The percentage of in
crease in the contrasted regions are
very decidedly different. South Caro-
lima, with an advance from s10.96 an
acre to 1857 an acre, compares very
favorably in point of percentage of in-
crease with Connecticut, which adj
vanced from s4470 to $46.s1.

THERE is YET HOPE IN OHIO.

The progressive party was defeated
& In Ohio by the two senator's who rep
resent the special interests of that
state in the United States senate. The
fight was made against them by Con-
gresham Burton, who has classed
himself with Cummins, and La Toilette,
and Folk by the position he has taken
in American politics.
There are there undoubtedly more than
the usual number Of large concerns
which have had intimate knowledge of
rebates, and it is not unlikely that
when Senators Foraker and Dick
fought President Roosevelt's rate bill
as they did they won the support of
many very powerful interests of as
sistance to them in. Ohio politics. Such
a course as theirs could find more in
for instance, hence it is not surprising
that the progressives have lost their
first battle. So did the Unionists at
Bull Run.
The cause of good government has
been greatly advanced by reason OF
the fight in Ohio having been made. If
Congressman Burton will simply hang
on as Grant did in war, and as Cum
Minis has done in Iowa. he Will lead his
forces TO victory.
1t takes time to educate people to
the real facts. For instance. the con-
tention was made by the Foraker Dick
crowd that they intended to endorse
Roosevelt in their platform and merely
asked for an endorsement for them.

Building Cement Hog House

The Jefferson Bee says that Mr..
Alfred Rhoades, well-known and
prosperous farmer of Greene county
is going to build a granary, corn crib
and hog house. the floors and part of
the walls Of which shall be Of cement.
He has decided to use cement because
after investigation he finds that it will
not cost half as much as lumber, and
it will last forever.
MIR. Rhoades' plan is this He will
lay cement floor one foot deep with
gravel and concrete, on an area Of
build a wall or curb OF cement which
will rise two feet above the floor.
Set vertically in this wall will be
bolts to which he will attach the sill,
for the superstructure of wood. One
end of the structure will be gran
airy, one end corn crib, and the CEN
trail portion 1Sx32 feet, will be the
space for his hogs to feed. Under the
floor of the hog house he will put an
underground cistern, which will catch
the overflow from his tank at the barn,
and by the aid Of a small pump he
will give his hogs water kept warm
by the ground all winter.
Mr. Rhoades has figured the thing
out, and believes that the cement for
the entire job will cost him only, $25.
He will haul the sand and gravel and
do the work himself. The lumber for
joists and for a two inch floor over
the same space would cost him about
500 If these figures are correct, the
advantage in favor of the cement is
enormous. If Mr.. Rhoades' first floor
of cement should not be an entire sue
cess, he could lay another on top Of
it, and still be ahead, about two dollars
for one, over lumber.
He will drain the floor thru small
holes sloping downward and outward
from the floor level along the sides.
1t goes without saying that in the
matter of cleanliness and sanitation
for the hogs a cement floor has wood
beaten to death. If Mr.. Rhoades' plan
succeeds (and it does not seem pos
sible that it can faiD the example will
be followed by scores of other farmers.

A good system in road keeping has
been in progress in Eldora township
this season. The township trustees
have had twenty five King road drags
made and they have all been in oper,
alton in the towship when needed. Ev-
cry man was allowed SO mile for
their use. This is substituted for the
old form of collecting the poll tax,
which is now permitted under a new
law enacted by the last legislature.
The result has been that the townships
has had unusually good roads,
altho of course there are certain
farmers who somewhat sighted the
work The trustees have also improved
the roads good DEAL especially on the
hill by mixing cinders with the natural
earth. which is clay. The combination
makes AN unusually solid road.
