MAYOR AND WHITE
SCRAP OVER FLAG
Former Succeeds, However, in
Securing Favorable Report on
Municipal Design.

Mayor Mccarthy made strong ap-
peal last night to the Committee on
Ordinance. Charter and Reform for the
adoption of the municipal flag, designs
OF which he has had prepared. Speak
ing of the objection raised by Mr.. w.
J.. White and others to the shield Of
the Confederate army, the Mayor said
he was not ashamed of the Confederate
hattle-fi flag, and would as gladly fight
for ii to-day as forty years ago.
1T stands, as it stood then, for the
principle of the sovereignty of the
States. the only principle that can save
this country to-day" he said. The
Business Mems Club of Richmond has
adopted the flag as its emblem; the
business men want it on the flag, Lee
Camp wants it on the flag, the ladies'
want 1t, everybody wants it except Mr..
White"
The Mayor said he would rather see
the flag of the city adopted than any
measure brought up during his adj
ministration. ''Richmonds connection
with the Confederate cause is a part OF
the history of the world, part from
which we cannot be separated IL we
would he added.
They say it will njure our COM

and trembling of what the North may

our manliness and self-respect. and

charge of the Iowa fruit display at the

Their patch was sprayed medium, and

The dandelions were killed to the

roots again. The grass looked bright

AS the cost is light 1t Is worth try

be estimated at Sc per head. If spe-
cial purpose dairy cows are used, the
male calves will not be worth this,
but the female calves from cows OF
heavy milking qualities will be worth
considerably more. The expense Of
keeping COW for dairy purposes Is
'ariously estimated, but generally at
from $38 to $42 for year. Cows that
give this amount of milk will require
good feeding, but we can put this cost
at $40 and yet leave a margin for
abundant profit.
This, however, is not all. When
dairying is carried on in any COM
munity and the manure applied to
the land as it should be, there is no
danger of any material decrease in
fertility. On the other hand the fer
tility will be very largely increased,
at least up to the original fertility
Of the soil. Lands in central Iowa
tributary to this condensary, that
now produce thirty to forty bushels
of corn per acre and fifteen to TWEEN
ty bushels of winter wheat, can cas-
lily be brought up to sixty bushels Of
corn; twenty-five to thirty bushels
of winter wheat, and other grains and
grasses in proportion.
THE great benefit, however, from
an enterprise of this kind, is in the
education that it gives farmers. The
rules and regulations governing the
production of milk for the condensary
are exceedingly rigid, particularly as
to the prompt removal of manure
from the stable and the removal of
the remains of silage before milking.
All food is required to be given after
milking the stables must be cleans
ed and whitewashed as we'll as prop
erly lighted and ventilated. 1t Is
worth a great deal to the farmer to
be required to observe these rules
and reglations. Altogether apart
from the milk production it will be
worth dollars in his pocket.
THE profit and education which
the farmer himself receives will be
a small thing compared with the ed
ucation that his sons will receive
from an enterprise of this kind. They
will be taught from their youth up
things which everybody should un-
derstand, the necessity Of cleanliness
of his person, cleanliness about the
buildings, cleanliness of the cows, the
doctrine of balanced rations, the dali
ny type and expression, and the ne
cessity for kindness in the care of
the milk producers"

MILK CONDENSARY PAYS
IN iowa TOWNS

Since the dairymen of Idaho and
the Pacific Northwest are just now
taking a special interest in the milk
condensary the following from Wal
lace Farmer will show how the en-
terprise Is looked upon at the town
of Perry in the Iowa country:
The Farmer says I'VE had the
privilege recently of being present at
the banquet attended by about 1915
people, at the Van Camp Milk Con-
densary recently built at Perry, Iowa.
Perry is a town of some 5000 people,
with two railroads and an interur-
ban. 1t has an exceedingly active
commercial club, which has under
taken the work of establishing vari-
Gus manufacturing enterprises and
with great success.
There is renewed hope for the
small town since railroad discrimi-
nation and preferences have SO large
ly been abolished, and the example
of Perry should be noted and imita-
ted by the country towns all over the
territory. The locality has hereto
fore been given over largely to grain
raising and stock feeding. The es-
adjustment of this milk dispensary
will speedily convert it into a dairy
section. Contracts have been made
for 10000 pounds of milk day COM
ing from the immediate neighborhood
and from stations along the line of
these various railroads.
Our subscribers at large are not
greatly interested in the prospects of
any town, but they should be inter-
ested in the possibilities of the farm
located within reach of plant of
this kind. There are two prices for
milk, one in summer and another in
winter, but the average is $1.3S per
winter, but the average price for the
year round is $1.3S per 100 pounds.
Assuming that cows can be secured
which they will be in time-which
will give 5000 pounds of milk
year, we have an income of SIS per
COW, to which must be added about
Sc for the value of the manure. We
base this last estimate on expert
ments conducted by the Ohio exper-
iment station for ten years, showing
the average number of pounds of ma
nure per day and its value in the in
crease of crops in that section. This
would be increased to nearly So If
the manure could be hauled direct to
the fields. In addition to this they
have the value of the calf, which may

the praise of the Tribune, and at the
proper time have him make Reed
Smoot retire from the race. Failing
in this, they were to turn the pages
OF the Tribune against the Mormon
leader and his people, and make him

so Perry and Dave were consigned

mon leader, promising to buy out
Heath's interest in the Tribune,
which at this time was pouring on:
billingsgate against the Mormon lea
der and his people. Kearns prom
ised at this time to give prominent
Mormons stock in the Tribune and
either allow certain Apostle or i
very prominent Mormon who wa,
then publicly accused of being a new
polygamist to be censored of that
paper. Kcarns failed to get Joseph
F. Smith either by honcyed words or
threats and abuse. Kearns, with his
unsavory record, intended to dictate
to the Mormon leader, and in turn
force him to dictate to the Mormon
people. The election of Reed Smoof
and the failure of this unsavory trio
to force Joseph F. Smith into such
disreputable position, is the real
and only cause of the organization

support of the Tribune and Kearns
