Bulletin On Oats.

A seasonable aud interesting
bulletin from the Farm Crops Sec
ton of the Experiment Station at
Ames is now being mailed to the
farmers of the state. 1t marks the
completion of ten years investiga-
tional work into the merits of 10
varities Of oats, and fully demon
strates that Iowa's yield Of this GER
cal has been too low. The state has
averaged only 29.5 bushels of oats
per acre. The writer's of this bulle-
tin conservatively estimate that this
yield can be permanently increased
throughout the oat growing districts
to at least 40 bushels per acre. All
that is needed to do this is the
adoption Of better varieties and more
care be given the seed before plant
ing.
There is not enough of the 1907
crop OF oats Of standard weight
(32 lbs. per bushel( to SOW the fields
that will be planted next month. Il
is therefore important that all pos
sible precautions be taken to gel
most useful varieties and that the
most approved methods of culture
be practiced throughout the coming
year. The bulletin gives mucI
helpful advice and many timely sug
gestions that are opportune at thi
time. 1t may be had by applying

of Experiment Station, Ames, Iowa

Big Williams Presidential Campaign

own admissions in private, the
entire amount of his expenditure
from the day he started in to boon
Mckinley to the date of the pres

Improving Iowa Dairy Cattle.

The average Iowa COW produces
lao pounds of butter each year.
There is no reason why she should
not produce 25O pounds.
1t takes the proceeds from 14O
pounds Of butter-fat to feed and
care for her. The profit then must
be in the calf and in the increased
fertility of the farm. These are
important but there should be more
money in dairying.
The way to secure the larger yield
is to breed better cows. 1t is the
purpose of the Iowa Dairy Cattle
improvement Association, which
was organized at the last meeting
of the State Dairy Association, to
awaken an interest in such stock.
Suppose an average gain of SO
pounds of butter-fat per year were
made for each COW. That would
mean $40 more per COW. There
are over l,500, 900 cows in the state
If their average yearly returns could
be increased $40 it would mean
$l5,000,O00 more for Iowa farmers
Worth working for, isn't it.
Cooperation must be the watch
word. All breeds are to be treated
alike and all breed prejudice is to
be set aside in favor of dairy cattle
That is what Iowa needs-botte,
better dairy cattle. Every man who
nilks cows ought to help in this
great work.

Declaring that he had given up
the practice Of medicine because the
science was rapidly becoming obso-
lete. that mental suggestion was the
most effective cure for bodily all
ments, and that but twelve drugs in
the pharmacopia would even so
much as aid cures DR.. Frederic Won
Eeden Of Holland, widely known as
a sociologist before a large audience
of men and women at the Hudson
theatre, New York City, pointed out
the dangers Of the inexperienced ex-
perimenting with hypnosis, and de.
clared that he was convinced an in
visible fluid passed from the fingers
Of the hypnotist Unto the brain of
the subjects. ..:--.,.ss.
Igave up the practice Of medi-
cine years ago for the more effect
i've treatment Of mental suggestion
said the doctor. MANY doctors who
are practicing medicine today rely
more on mental suggestion than
they do on drugs, but they do not
like to admit it. When doctors of
medicine cannot diagnose case or
do not know what to do for pa
tient they give him bread pills,
with careful instructions as to how
many to take. Usually they tell him
tina. they have given him very
powerful drug. This is an admis-
sion that in extreme cases even ply
sicians advocate mental healing.
A famous London specialist told
me that when he fell i'll he used to
take two rhubarb pills and put them
on the table by his side when he
went to bed. He said the effect was
Just as good as. though he had taken
them.
These are but examples of what
suggestion will do for the body.
The question is whether the cures
are caused by Imagination, will pow
er or emotion. Imagination seems
the most probable.
The old barbaric methods of
treating ailments, such as kissing
holy stones, drinking water from
certain streams and wearing amber
beads around the neck, actually pro-
cured cures. Those who took them
had faith and the suggestion Of di.
sease was removed from their minds
as soon as they took the cures. The
real disease could not last with the
suggestion of health against it.
Mothers and fathers can mold
their children to be good or bad by
suggestion. The childish mind is
most open to suggestion. Parents
endanger the health of their little
ones by constantly asking them
whether they feel sick, and the teit-
Grafton Of this question suggests ill
ness to the childrens minds, which
in time actually causes q physical
ailment."

Chicago packer and Walker,

Chicago packer and Walker, of
Council Bluffs, Ia. 1t comprises some
OF the finest valley land west of the
Red river and, taken rs a whole,
is the best of the Sioux reservation
land west of the Missouri. 1t will
probably be year or two before
this land is opened up to actual set
Element. This new treaty is the
forty-second that has been negotiat-
ed wich the Indians by Major Nc.
Laughlin during his long career
as the governments representative
among the red men. Probably no
man in the country understands
the Indians as well as he. especially
the Sioux, among whom he spent
most Of his life.
The diminished reservation left to
the Indians will amount to about
/ 100000 acres;and after taking up
all their allotments they will have a
small amount of surplus for their
cattle and shorres to range upon. - f
While the Marshall bill calls for
the opening Of the whole of the
Standing Rock reservation, it is be-
lieyed that tbe agreement reached
by Major Mclaughlin will be con-
sidered fair compromise by con-
gress to both Indians and whites.
With infinite patience Major Nc
Langhlin explained to the Indians
how the population of the West was
increasing, and the demand for land
growing stonger; how the supreme
court had, in the famous Lone Wolf
case, decided that the Indians were
wards and the government their
guardian, with the right to dispose
of their lands or property as they
saw fit. He told them how the pres
ident and the commissioner were
having hard fight to secure to the
Indians the land they now hold.
With stoical resignation of their
race, the chiefs replied that for some
years they had seen that the white
man was going to swallow" them
mp "We will give you what you ask"
they said. "but will you not ask con-
gress to spare to us for at least ten
years, the small remaining lands we
have? You have been a father to
us and we have no one but you to
look to as a friend and we ask you
to intercede for us"

iture eqnal to single week OF
Tafts. One man who was on the
Hearst payroll in those days de,
serted him and went over to August
Belmont, who was running the
financial end of the Parker boom,
and when questioned as to the
reason Yeplie1 II found that there
was no elasticity to Hearst's leg"
No man has yet been found oc.
casion to make that criticism of the
leg of Charles P. Taft.
Charles 2. Taft is an ideal brother
the kind you would pick out for
yourself, He has paid William Fl.
Taft his salary every year the latter
has been in Washington until the
the present year. The salary of a
cabinet officer used to be $4,000 a
year, enough to keep him in cigars
and car fare. 1t does not begin to
pay for the dinners and receptions.
Charles P. was determined
that William Fl. should make a. de-
cent showing and he duplicated his
brothers salary every year. Not
until congress had nerve enough to
raise the cabinet salary to $4,000
did Charles P. drop this habit.
The prodigal way in which the
Taft coin is being showered can be
figured out from this fact: A man,
with no qualifications except cry
ing need for money was sent out
from the st. Louis headquarters of
the Taft boom to canvass Missouri
and Oklahoma His salary was
$1,000 a month while on the Job.
Bearing in mind that this was an
inexperienced individual, unknown
in national politics. one can get a
line on the salaries that must be
paid to the experienced and eff
cient men like Frank Hitchcock,
Arthur Vorys and the rest.
There is a Taft organization in
every state in the union. Where the
cash was poured out like water was

enough of a fight to make the thing

been spent in these three states
than in all the rest of the union
