IndiyiduaiIsm OF The Farmer.

Farming is virtually the only
great series of occupations that
is unorganized, unsyndicated,
unmonnopolized, uncontrolled,
except as it is dominated by
natural laws of commerce and
the arbitrary limitations impos-
ed by organization in other bus
mess. In time of extreme or
ganization and subordination of
the individual the farmer still
retains his traditional individ-
uallsm and economic separate
ness. His entire scheme OF life
rests on intrinsic earning by
means of his own efforts. If
the farmer steps outside his
own realm he is met on the one
side by organized capital and
on the other by organized labor.
He is confronted by fixed earn
ings. What he himself secures
is remainder left at the end of
a years business.-Century.

was having a "lesson on the

press on the young minds the
various uses of the milk. But
ter, cheese, ETC., had been dis.
posed of, and she wanted some
bright genius to tell how the
farmer fed the surplus milk to
the pigs. Leading up to this,
she asked this question:
"Now, children, after the
farmer has made all the butter
and cheese he needs, and uses
what milk he wants for his fam
lily, what does he do with the
milk that still remains?"
Dead silence followed for a
moment, and then one little
hand waved frantically. The

Bathtub for Hogs.
BY W. Z. Sherlock

I sawIrecently on the farm of
one of the large hog raisers of
southeastern Iowa a cement
wallow that was about one foot
deep and six or seven feet
square. This is filled with wa
ter from an underground pipe
leading from a tank on a hill,
and is emptied into a tile drain
by removing a plug In the bot
tom. This was done about every
three days and the tank was
disinfected with crude carbolic
acid.
1t may seem ridiculous to
some people to provide bath
tub forlhogs, but it pays every
time, Gbecause clean water helps
to insure good health. 1t is true
thatathe hog is a non sweating
animal and that in order to cool
himself he resorts to mud and
water-when he cannot get
clean water only.
It is natural for the hogs to
wallow, but that does not prove
that he should cool himself in a
germ-infested, filthy mudhole,
to maintain his health. The
present day hog is the product
of a great deal of cross.breed-
ing, the object of which was to
change the shape and nature OF
the primitive hog. Our domes'
ticated hog would die if he were
placed in the haunts of the wild
hog and expected to live as did
the primitive wild hog, because
he has constantly been bred
away from the nature and hab
it's of the wild animal.
He needs water to cool his
body, but he does not not Reet

A Small Boys Ambition

They All Want Such Men.

A New York employer closed
a recent letter to Hapgoods, the
national organization of brain
brokers, with the following de-
scription OF the men he desired
for several responsible posi-.
tions:
"Men who are not for sale;
men who are honest and sound
from center to circumference,
true 10 the hearts core; men
who will condemn wrong in
friend or toe, in themselves as
we'll as others; men whose con-
sciences are as steady as the
needle to the pole; men who
will stand for the right if the
heavens totter and the earth
reels; men who can tell the
truth and look the world and
the devil right in the eye; men
who neither brag nor run; men
who neither flag nor finch; mer
who have courage without whis.
thing for it and Joy without
shouting to bring it; men who
know their place and fill it
men who mind their own bust
ness men: men who will not lie

what they eat and perform wha'

Among the crowd however. were several
well known adherents OF Governor Cum
minis, but as was to be expected they were
few and far between.

meeting said in substance that as Cum

had not got away from republican prin-

ARREST FOR BLOCKADING CROSSING
Authorities In Doubt About Legality
of City Ordinance.


of City Ordnance.
As a result Of a Northwestern freight
train blocking the Broadway crossing Mon
day night for sixteen minutes an informa-
ton was filed yesterday in the superior
court by the city authorities against John
F. Montgomery local agent Of the railroad.
The city authorities have some misgivings
as to whether the city ordinance prohib-
iting trains standing on street crossings
over hVe minutes at time will hold water
in it's present shape and the matter has
been referred to the city solicitor. The
ordinance Is not specific as to who should
be held responsible when a crossing Is
bIockaded by train, The recent ordinance
limiting the speed OF trains within the city
limits makes the members OF the train
crew directly responsible in case Of VIOLA
ton Of the measure. Mayor Macrae sug-
sested yesterday that the ordinance regu-
lating the blocksding OF street crossings
by railroad trains be amended so as to
make the train crew responsible in case OF
violation.
1t is said that there is a state law pro-
hbiting the blockading OF street crossings
by railroads and there was some talk at
police headquarters yesterday Of. referring
the Northwestern case 10 the distriot grand
