!: LOOKER-ON IN IOWA

Traer. March 26.-An Iowa grain
dealer tells the writer that the scarcity
of cars this winter has been great
benefit to the farmers. He says that
the oat meal and breakfast food buy
ers have been, keen buyers all thru the
winter. That no time has there been
any surplus offered, consequently no
lowering of prices In regard to corn,
he is convinced that if cars had been
plenty, the farmers would have mar
keted their crop, the eastern demand
thereby satisfied, prices would have
dropped and he could have filled his
crib at 25 cents. AS it is, he. has not
crbbed a bushel. The whole of this
story resolves itself into another.
Some folks don't know when they are
well off"
Twenty-one years of continuous
travelling over the state of Iowa has
brought to the writer many comments
on many legislative sessions And new
err before at the close of the legislative
session have the people been SO well
satisfied with the Work of their law
makers, as at the present time. One
hears everywhere, They have done
something" Here is noticeable fact,
that if more had been accomplished in
equalizing freight rates rather than so
great q reduction in passenger rates,
would have suited the farmers bet
ter. Travelling men are not particularly
grateful for the two-cent bill, for they
and others that travel much. had their
twe-cent a mile books The joint rate
BILL the putting of express compan-
les under control of railway commits
sions, the sleeping car bill and the pri
mary law are all popular measures.
But there is today all over Iowa, and
the railroad companies and other cor
porations will Go we'll to make the mos:
of it, feeling that we are goins, too
fast in law making against railroad
interests. This sentiment comes
largely from the travelling public, the
heavy commodities Comes strangely
enough from the class of men that
have the most business with the rail-
roads. Comes from the very men that
in the past have been ABUSED" by the
railroads. A grain dealer today said
to the writer. the railroads are, having
hard times. The people in the lessisla-
lures are cutting into their income by
reduced rates, and their employees at
the same time demanding more and
more in wages shorter hours ana in
creased numbers of employees. AS said
be fore the railroads now by treating
the people fairly in the way of meet
ing and adjusting any reasonable
complaints, can rest assured the war
is about over. Like Grant when Lee
surrendered, the people are disposed
to let them retain their horses and
side arms"

THE DANGER OF THE DAIRY. /

IT'S OfNivoeU1 VI Ut ONsnAs
In New York it is proposed by
health officers to the legislature to pass
a law compelling the Pasteurization of
all milk intended for human cons
sumption. The proposal has brought
out all sorts Of differing opinion and
statements from the medical men who
are almost as much at variance on the
Pasteurization of milk as on the state
OF Harry Thaw's mental soundness.
Certified milk" is common in most
of the larger cities. Certified milk
is from inspected dairies where the
cows are conlbed and brushed, the
stables are kept clean and the mixers
wash their hands and clean their nails
before milking. The milk falls into q
covered pail thru a small gauze-cov-
red hole and is whisked away to a
dairy house and instantly cooled by be-
ing passed in a thin sheet over metal
cooler filled with ice. The advocates of
pasteurization, however, insist that
these precautions are insufficient and
would have all milk sold for food put
thru the process OF heating to 140 to
1865 degrees in closed vessels for a half
hour. and cooling quickly, that is
termed Pasteurization.
The densest communities are awak-
ening to the danger of the dairy. What
are the smaller cities doing? Who
knows the conditions in the dairy
whence he secures the milk supply for
his family. Everyone knows that milk
is a natural home and culture for
germs, that next to the water supply its
opportunities to carry contagion are
greatest. 1t Is easier to compel sale
minor city than in the metropolis. New
ertheless how often do we hear of in
spection Of dairies, milk tests, and the
general protection to the purchasing
public that common sense and sanitary
precaution argue for?
With the assertion of scientists that
a considerable proportion of cattle are
tuberculous, with the common knowl-
edge that typhoid epidemics have had
their start from milk cans washed in
contaminated water, isn't it time that
some real system of inspection were
inaugurated in the smaller cities?

THE NEW OFFICERS.

Yesterday was election day in hun
dreds of Iowa towns and cities. Some
body won and somebody was de-
feated. These are the results of cleo
tions. Issues were met and approved
or disapproved. That is one of the
main reasons for elections. Today all
Is serene again. The bontires that cele-
brated victory and accentuated defeat
have turned to cold ashes and ,hurryins
feet have obliterated tine chalk lines
that yesterday warned excited par
tisans of the 100 foot danger line. The
excitement has burned out like the
bonfires Election is over. It is up
to the new officers.
Every man elected yesterday was
elected to opportunity. He must make
a record and it is for him to say what
the nature of that record shall be. NO
man ever gets away from his record as
a public official 1t follows him thru
life like his shadow and takes prece-
.dence IN mis- OBITUARY. III lie Was a
CRATER or weakhng in office he can
never rid himself of the contempt of
his townsmen. If he was efficient, sin
cere, capable, the public, often I'M
grateful. never ceases to respect and re-
member him. The men who were elect
ed yesterday must make their choice.
They can not hunt with the hounds and
run with the hare They must serve
the public or themselves. No one can
be wolf and watchdog.
Sincerity, common sense, good judg-
ment and desire to serve the interests
Of all the people are the highest quail
ffications of an elective officer. Ca
pacity he must have, but capacity
without honesty in office is the most
dangerous thing cities and governments
generally, have to face If the newly
elected officers will do their best in a
sincere effort to accomplish the pur-
poses for which they were chosen,
without special favor to any and in
justice to all, they will make records
that their grandchildren may recall
with pride.

Big Gathering or Farmers.

Nearly 600 farmers are attending the
fourth annual ten days course in agri-
culture at the University of Wiscon-
sin which closed Friday. This is nearly
200 more than last year, when the en-
rollment was only 4IO. The house
keepers conference, held at the same
time, was attended by 1877 women who
came to the university to study house
hold problems in the home economics
department. The new ten days course
for Swiss cheese makers was attended
by 10.
The most prominent feature of this
years programme of the farmers
course was the instruction and council
on the Importance of improving the
dairy cattle of the state, and the
means to be used. Every day there
special demonstration of particular
interest to dairymen, and much en-
phasIs was placed on the value of co
operation of farmers in raising the
standard of the dairy herds. Dean w.
A. Henry Of the college of agriculture
gave lecture on the improvement Of
the 100000 dairy herds in the state
that furnish milk to 5000 creameries
and cheese factories. Some time was
given TO the judging of dairy bulls, and
to discussion of methods Of feeding
dairy cows so as to get the best results.
This mornings programme also con-
tanned an hours lecture on the relation
between the pure bred live stock
breeder and the farmer. Yesterday
afternoon was largely given to judging
various types and breeds of dairy COWS
and In the morning dairy topics filled
the entire time, with a stereopticon
lecture on celebrated Wisconsin dairy
COWS, and a conference on The Main
tainance of "a high standard of pro-
duction III dairy herds" The course
also contained lecture by Ex-Gov. w.
D. Hoard on "The Meaning of the Dairy
Temperament" demonstrations on the
use of the milking machines, demons
tratiOns of fhe tuberculin test, and
other interesting dairy topics.

MCCARTNEY NOTES

Quite a number of changes have
taken place since our last report and
we will endeavor to write few for the
benefit of the Herald readers.
Fred Dahue of Iowa bought the
Chris Bloom farm on the ridge last
fall and is moving from four to six
loads every day for the last week;
crossing the river at Cassville and
wants to get all over while the ice is
safe to cross.
Chris Bloom bought the farm known
as the Pierce Place last fall and sold
it this spring to Edward Ruchi who
now has possession. Chris Bloom will
move to CaSsville to 1--we in house he
purchased last week.
John Daley has rented the Delbert
Richardson farm and will take posses
sion some time in March.
Valorus Galley has rented farm on
Grant river near the Chafey ford,
known as the Mar tin place.
Henry Daley has contract to get
200 cords of willow wood for the e. B
& Q. r. r. Co., 1928 per cord. w. n.
Reed also has a contract for number
of cords of the same kind of wood for
the same company,
About hundred cords of wood has
been hauled to our station by the
farmers during the good sleighing for
shipping by railroad, but it is hard
matter to get cars to load, so the most
of it remains here waiting for cars.
News comes to US from pretty good
source that the railroad company is
going to put in an operator at the Nc
Cartney depot, which if true. will full
fill long felt want at this place.
Herman Hartman, ST., who has been
our road overseer for several years, has
sold his farm and built a house in Cass-
vile and lives there now, so that means
a new road boss for this district. Who
shall we elect?.
Egbert Rockefeller, two weeks ago
was carrying a box containing about
% pounds of iron, his foot slipped and
he fell on the frozen ground, the box
falling on his right arm near the
elbow bruising it badly. Blood poison
set in and it looked for while like a
serious case. But we are pleased to
report at this time that through the
care of DIR. Hartford his arm is about
we'll and all danger past.
