why Farmers Are Protecthonists.

WHY Farmers Are Protectionists.
If there is any one who deserves the
comforts of this life, it is the farmer.
When farmer has splendid gas lights
all over his fine new house, big bat
room. hot and cold running water, fur
mace heat, hard wood floors, fine piano,
gas for cooking and even gas lights IN
his barn, we can't shed tears over his
trodden condition And we are glad
that we can't. In addition ne, OF
course. has rural free delivery at his
door. All he needs is a trolley car and
an automobile. AS it is, he has more
of the comforts of life than any resi-
dent of Belle PLANE. This is not an
oyerdrawn picture. If you don't be-
lieve it we can show you, and within
eight miles of Belle Plaine, tOo.-Belle
PLANE Union.
1t is this condition of things that
makes the average Iowa farmer pro-
tectionist All of the good things that
the Union speaks of have come to him
through the benefcent operation of the
protective tariff, which has not only at
forded him better prices for his grain
and produce, but has furnished him
wonderful market in which to SELL The
unlimited amount of work now afforded
the laboring man, and the splendid
wages he is receiving enable him to
buy generously of the good things of
this life which include in large meas
ure tAe products of the farm. With a
scaling down of the protective sched-
ules. the farmer would at once expert
ence a decrease in demand for what he
has to sell and a resultant falling off
in proft. There are those who strenu-
ously deny the farmer is benefited by
the protective tariff, but not many of
them exist among the farming classes.

What Tariff Smashing Would ID

If the United States were to adopt
the ideas of the tariff smashers and
buy mostly abroad where labor is paid
what Americans would call starvation
wages, so that money was constantly
and largely shipped out of tie country
and labor reduced TO the basis of for
eign wage scales In competing indus
tries. the sending of the circulating
medium away would bring such results
as the conditions prevailing at the end
of ten years of that practice following
the free trade program of 1S46.-Buf-
falo News.

Selecting the Brood SOvvs.

Selecting the Brood SOws.
Some sows which have been good
mothers may be getting old and care
less. 1t Is best to discard these. A
tried brood SOW which has fulfilled all
the requirements is worth keeping for
several years or as long as she con-
tinues to be profitable. In the selec-
ton Of the gifts, study first the dam,
giving the preference to those from the
large even filters and from mothers
having the desired qualities. 1t Is well
to look to the breeding of the sire, for,
while the boar probably has but little
influence upon the number of pigs per
litter of his immediate offspring, sire
Of large filters would be likely to trans
NIT that character to his female Off
spring.
Thow out the short, chubby gifts and
those that have contracted heart girth
or are narrow between the eyes. The
gilt most likely to make a good brood
sow will be well developed and vigor-
Gus, broad between the eyes, with a
good heart girth, fair length, good depth
of body and standing on strong legs
and feet. With such methods as these
in the selection of breeding stock, cou-
pied with rational care In their feeding

Sowing Crimson Glover

Crimson clover gives the best results
when sown in late summer. preferably
from July 10 to Sept. l. 1t Is most
commonly planted in corn or following
email grain crop. Il the latter case
the land should be plowed and put in
good condition before seeding. Consid-
cradle difficulty is often experienced In
obtaining a stand of crimson clover.
Indeed, 1t is a common saying that 1t
must be sown between showers in or
der to be assured of stand. 1t Is Inn
portant always to use fresh seed, as
the terminating power deteriorates rap
idly. Ordinarily twelve to fifteen pounds
per acre are used, but good results have
been obtained with smaller quantities.
In some cases the failure to obtain
stand has been attributed to the lack OF
incubation. In any event it Is always
desirable to inoculate the seed or the
soil before planting on land for the first
time. Even If stand Is only obtained
two times out of three, crimson clover
is still a very profitable crop to grow.

JAIL FOR TRUST OFFENDERS.
By Attorney General Bonaparte.

1 have noticed a good many com
plants that criminal prosecutions
against trust magnates and sentences
Of imprisonment for them have been
very infrequent, and, in fact, for
practical purposes unknown. 1t is
perfectly true that, in my opinion at
least, a better moral effect would be
produced by sending a few prominent
men to jail than by a great deal Of
litigation, however successful, against
the corporations they controlled.

OUR DADDIEs oUT-THOUGHT US


The young people Of to-day, as compared
with those of fifty years ago, are chiefly def
cient in power of sustained attention and orig
inaI thinking. They cannot, or at least they
usually do not, think as clearly, as patiently
and as cogently as did their fathers.
They do not as quickly distinguish the ir-
relevant from the pertinent, the kernel from
the husk, as the men of the last generation.

can make dairying pay good returns
when he can grow and market his po-
tatoes for enough cash to pay all of his

year and hires two men and one boy.
At present he is working 112 acres Of

has sold more than $1,000 worth Of
hay from his farm this year and 1900
bushels of potatoes.
