RodenburE Has Objection

Representative Rodenburg of Illinois,
following Mr.. Clark said in support of the
Mississippi river project that the beggarly
pittance of s250,0O0 given the great river in
this bill is wholly inadequate for our pur-
poses and when the time comes / will offer

years will demonstrate that the attempt
20 regulate railroad rates by law has
failed" was the statement made by Repre-
sentative Rayner in discussing the project
for deepening the waters Of the Mississippi
and building a canal from Chicago to st.
Louis He added;
"The only way to restore the competitive
system in this country in the matter OF
carrying heavy freights is by improving
our rivers and harbors."
He charged that the hand of the Steel
trust was seen In opposition to the Missis-
sippi riven enterprise because It might in

be wasted, as would also be the million

other Plans Suggested.

Another suggestionNis that Colonel Roose-
welt be made perpetual president of The
Hague peace and arbitration tribunal. That
he would discharge the duties of that high
place with the energy and capacity he ex-
hibits in everything to which he turns his
hand goes without saying; but what he
would do to peacemakers with plans differ
ent from his own would be plenty.
Another suggestion is that he devote his
days to literature-surely a notable pursuit.
II would bring him abundant wealth and he
would have a vast circle Of readers from
the beginning
still another suggestion is that he be
made manager of the Panama canal-the
most splendid suggestion of all. An
Isthmian canal has been the dream Of men

The general-purpose farm horse Is
one that can be well utilized in ordi-
nary farm work of all kinds and can
also do the limited amount of road
work needed in connection with the
working of the medium-slzed or small
farm, says a well-known farmer. A
horse called "chunk" in market,
standing 10 to 16 hands high, weighing
from LOO to 1,400 pounds, compactly
built, with good feet and legs, a tract
able, lively disposition, a good clean,
rapid way of going at walk or trOt, is
in brief, the kind of a horse that l
would call a general-purpose horse.
This kind of a horse has a place on
farms, and we say is the most val
liable class, so far as farm work is
You will note that he par
takes of the qualities of both the
draught and coach or heavy roadster
types, in both his conformation and
disposition.

Iowa Farmers Phones.

For the first time a census of tele-
phones has been taken in the State of
Iowa, and this has disclosed that there
are now in use 222,3 800 instruments. OF
this number 104,524 are classed as in
struments used in connection with
rural lines. That is, they are used by
the farmers of Iowa.
During the past few years the Gov
eminent Weather Bureau in Des
Moines has arranged for telephone dis
tribution of forecasts, and a large per-
centage of these farmers now receive
by telephone every morning the fore
cast of the weather for the coming
thirty-six hours. This, in fact. has
been one strong incentive for installa-
tion of telephones in the homes of the
farmers of the State.

Build "a Toulouse.

Every farmer needs a good tool
house. 1t should be so convenient of
access that there need be no excuse for
leaving farm implements exposed to
the weather when not in use. Prop
erly cared for, many implements that
now last only a few years ought to be
serviceable as long as the farmer lives
to need them. Besides, a tool that has
not been rusted, warped and cracked
by exposure will work as well the sec
ond and third year of use as the first.
On many farms the tools are so much
injured by being left out of doors that
after the first season they cost more
for repairs than they save in labor.

sweet Potato Growing.

The following suggestions about
sweet potato growing are from vir-
glnia lady: Sweet potatoes succeed
best on a deep and rich sandy soil with
a warm exposure. The ground should
be well plowed and narrowed fine. In
each hill plant two sets, covering about
two inches deep, and as they grow keep
drawing dirt around them. They are
among the very best vegetables for
table use. Select a bright, clear day
for digging, let them dry day or two,
then place in boxes with paper with a
small quantity of slaked lime among
the potatoes. Keep during winter in a
storeroom.

opposing its program. A report shows

An imperial decree removes all class re-
strictions regarding state employment, and
all persons are declared equal before the
law. Peasants are released from the
