Mixing Manure With Soil.

The process of decomposition may
be carried on in the presence of pure
earth only. or of earth intermingled
with cut clover, leaves, ETC., or in the
presence of muck, which Is an assem-
bage of inert vegetable matter, and
compost dung hills may be formed ac-
cording to these methods The proper
tons between the ingredients are fixed
by no determinate laws, and conse-
queutly great liberty is allowable to
the operator. In fact such is the I'M
certainty of the composition that al
most every farmer adopts one peculiar
to himself and with equal success.
No one need follow implicitly any rules
which have been laid down. but may
vary and multiply his experiments ac-
cording to the suggestions of circum-
stances or the dictates of convenience.
The only use of intermixing the soil
with the manure is to imbibe the gas
eous elements of vegetable life ana
hinder their dissipation. If there be
much soil these elements will be diffus-
ed thru 1T with less density and COM

WASTING Stock Food.

On many farms corn is grown, the
grain harvested and farm animals
turned in, which simply destroys
three fourths of the entire crop. No
Improvement. no rotation, no care, no
management, but d waste of valuable
food, the only excuse for this wasteful
system being that profit can be de-
rived with but little cost. Whenever
a better system is practlced then be-
gins enjoyment OF profit and increase
in every direction, all reaping a por-
ton from the landed proprietor to the
humblest individual In the community.
This wasteful practice is not con-
fined to any particular section, but to
all portions of the country where corn
is grown. The root of the evil Is the
desire of those who grow corn to avoid
labor; and this saving of labor by al
lowing corn fodder to waste has
brought more farms under mortgages
than anything else, while those who
practice such methods only deprive
themselves of greater gains and bet
ter results that could be obtained by
the required labor and it's careful APP
plication.
Corn fodder is one of the valuable
products of the farm, having a prac-
teal feeding value of two thirds to
three quarters that of good hay and
sometimes more, and the fodder corn
and straw wasted Is sufficient to nearly
double the stock now kept on many
farms.---I,pitomist

Market for Maearoni Wheat.

When in the. 70s Russian settlers In
western Kansas had introduced the SO
called turkey hard winter wheat 1t was
found to be "a good producer, but there
seemed to be no market for 1t. Grad
iually the millers adapted their machin-
cry to it's use and found it excellent.

Of the more recently introduced dur
UNI or macaroni wheat, which is better
adapted to a dry climate than any 9TH
err wheat yet introduced. Farmers
have been anxious about the market.
but an investigation recently made by
Prof. w. H. Olin, agronomist of the
Colorado agricultural college, shows
that there need be no further misgiv-
ings about selling this wheat. Prof
DIN has replies from Kansas City
Omaha. ST Louis, Cincinnati Chicago
and MINNEAPOLIS which show ready
markets in all these places for durum
wheat The export demand is strong,
but the time should soon come when

extent of supplying the American de-
mand for n1acarn'-i Kansas Farmer.

EUROPEAN PREss and CUBE.

The London Morning Post makes the
following comment on American inter-
vention in Cuba:
ut may well be doubted whether the
| United States y will not, sooner
or later, be forced to take up the bur-
den of imperialism For life
as an independent state the island was
| handicapped from the start, politically
and economically, by racial divisions,
by social decentralization, by genera
tons Of weak government and by years
of civil war. 1t may well be questioned
whether that initial disadvantage can
ever be made up from the internal re-
sources Of Cuba herself, whether it
does not demand as inevitable the eX-
penditure of money and lives and vigor
drawn from the abundant resources of
the neighboring nation"
Other European papers. especially
English papers, comment in very frank
fashion on the situation created by the
disturbance in the island. There is a
disposition to assume that American
rule in the Philippines has not been
very successful, but most of the pa
pers recognize the obligation of the
United States to the Cuban republic,
and show a disposition to believe that
our government will do the right thing
at the right time and that the interests
of all will be conserved by intervention.
1t is noticeable that there is little in
clinat!on to impugn the motives of the
United States or to assert that we are
actuated by selfish considerations.
England being colonist nation, rec
ognizes the difficulties in the way of
peaceful government among illiterate
and mercurial natives. Her expert
ence has taught her that it takes time,
patience and money and not infre-
quently many lives to keep order in her
colonies. The end seems to justify the
outlay in her case. for she has never
abandoned her policy.
The United States, most of us are
quick to assert, is moved largely by
humane and philanthropic motives in
Its relations with Cuba, and there are
not lacking those who believe it is
proving too expensive. Whether we
shall in the end annex Cuba. or wheth-
ser we shall succeed in teaching them
self-government, the substantial bene-
fits we shall reap because Of our close
relations with the island will in the
long run outweigh the expenditures we
shall make in schooling the little re-
public in the art Of government.

Secretary Wells, of the Iowa Grain
Dealers association, is author of bull
letin, just out in which he makes the
statement that actual Investigation
shows that one man in Iowa has, SIM
gle-handed, added $10,000,000 to the
Iowa corn crop.
Mr.. Wells first estimate of the Iowa
corn crop was 3S5 bushels per acre for
9,55s142 acres. This estimated an IN
creased acreage of per cent ard S.4

last year, but die, not take, the stand

ONE LIE NAILED.
TReg ster and Leader.1

They know the governor did urge
the passage of a bill regulating the
long and short haul and afterwards
vetoed it because it disclosed the bill
would operate to allow the Chicago &,
Northwestern railroad. having a much
larger mileage between the two points,
to compete with the Chicago Great
Western ON traffic between Des Molnes
and Marshalltown. Possibly the fact
that the governor in his professional
capacity as attorney for the Grea.
Western had nothing to do with the
veto Of the bill, but the people of Iowa
are entitled to an explanation of the
reason that prompted him as governor
to repudiate a law he had asked to
have enacted.-Waterloo Times Trib-
une (den1)
1t would be difficult to get more mis-
information into one paragraph.
Governor Cummins recommended for
passage bill that would allow the
Northwestern road to compete with the
Great Western in passenger fares be-
tween Des Moines and Marshalltown.
Thas was the beginning of the matter.
1t is evident from this single state
ment that there is nothing whatever
of merit in, the insinuations Of the
Times Tribune.
When the bill was drawn it was dis
covered that there was nothing in it
to prevent steam railroads from meet
ing competing rates on interurban
roads and thereby destroying interur-
bans, without having their general
rates affected Governor Cummins at
u, ;r,, IA
titled, and the words "steam railroads"
were introduced.
But, finally, after the bill had passed
it appeared that in the use of general
terms. freights as we'll as passenger
fares had been included, and what had
started out to be very simple scheme
to allow an evening up of passenger
fares between a few points in Iowa had
become in fact veto of thu whole long
and short haul clause of the Iowa law
Governor Cummins took the position
that while on mature deliberation the
people might be willing to have so rad
ical a change there had been no pre-
liminary consideration to warrant 1t.
and go he vetoed the bill That is all
there is of the matter. Not only was
Governor Cummins not the attorney
for the Great Western, nor had he
been, but his action so far as it went
was in the direction of assisting the
Northwestern to an even chance at the
passenger business between Des
Moines and Marshalltown
Governor Crmmins did exactly right
III, vetoing the bill The state is not yet
ready to make radical change in the
railroad law of 1883. Perhaps the long
and short haul feature of the law
should he dropped. But before that is
done there should be a free and full
discussion 1t should not be dropped

going ahead In the matter of public
improvements and while 1t is not our
intention to Justify the exceeding OF
the limit of legal Indebtedness it Is a
fact. we believe. that the people them
selves have been strongly In favor of
the improvements in the way of sew
ers and paving and increased expendl-
lures for lighting which are respon-
sible for large portion of the indebt-
edness.
The question of great interest and
Importance to the people at this time
is as to what is to be done. We do
not believe that they favor an abso-
lutte halt in the progress the city has
been making. Yet the condition OF
the city unquestionably requires care
full attention and careful figuring.
The income of the city, altho the tax
rate is heavy, is scarcely sufficient to
meet the fixed expenses and under
these conditions even the most prog
ressive Of our citizens will see the need
Of studying means of retrenchment
and economy. We believe that the
council has arrived at this conclusion
and that 1t has determined to econo-
mize in every possible way that will
not injure the public service. In Its
work along this line it will have the
support of all our people, who should
remember at the same time that the
fixed charges for which the present
council is not responsible, such as wa
ter rentals, and the lighting contract
which was voted by them. make large
expenditures almost unavoidable.
There is another thing. we believe
to which careful attention should be
paid 1t seems to US that there should
be an increase and substantial in
crease in the assessment of property
values in this city. While the council
is studying the question of decreasing
our expenditures it should also con-
slider the question of increasing our
income. There has been during recent
years considerable building of all
kinds in Creston ana property values
have un 7ouhte1ly increased. Yes tia
assessment has 'slirunf. The assessor
and the city council, ii seems to Us.
should devote themselves seriously
and carefully and courageously 10 the
work of assessing property at a figure
which more nearly represents Its aer
,tu,al value.
