HOSPITALITY HAS ITS LIMITS.

Delegates to the Fraternal Order OF
Eagles convention just closed in this
city were well pleased with their treat
ment while here and when they
climbed into the cars to sit thru their
homeward journey it was with feel
ing Of contentment which came Of get
ting cordial reception during their
visit.
Those who had been in Marshalltown
before were glad to be able to again
visit the city, while those who had nor
previously had the good fortune OF
personal acquaintance here found after
they arrived that the advance notices
circulated in praise Of this municipal
ity, its beautiful streets. comfortable
homes, hospitable people and attractive
surroundings, were none too strong.
Such events are usually good thing
for city. They bring life and cheer
with them that helps to stir up folks
and let them know the world is alive
and kicking, and aside from the money
that a convention may bring and spend
It affords chance for exchange OF
courtesies and helps to keep us on good
terms with neighboring burgs. 1t Is a
sort of clearing house for ideas and Of
ten is q source Of suggestions for home
use we'll worth having and adopting.
But even hospitality has Its limits.
A note which sounded little discord-
ant in the convention was that made
by the patrol wagon. We are con-
strained to wonder who donated Its app
parently unlimited use to the delegates
for their merrymaking and why? It's
promiscuous pacing UP and down the
streets, filled with men wearing
badges indicating that their mission
here was as delegates, did not exact
ly comport with the dignity and order
Of a we'll governed city like Marshall
town. It's all right to give the free
dom Of the city to visitors and award
them full liberty, without license. but
the patrol wagon is city property. de-
signed for urgent use at critical times,
and whoever is responsible for its loan
to the Eagles went a step too far and
should be rebuked.

IOWA OPINIONS AND NOTES

President Roosevelt ought to be
happy" the Cedar Rapids Republican
contends. HE Is going to have as his
successor man who will carry out his
policies. And the people ought to be
happy because the work of carrying on
those policies will be done, not by a
mere imitator and demagog, but by
a sincere and judicious, safe and sane
man. We are all beginning to see now
how Taft is exactly the man for the
place.

CONVENTION HELPED THE TICKET.

The political significance Of yester-
days convention Of republicans at Wa
terloo lies in the most vigorous dem
onstration of the fact that the pro-
gressives are long ways from being
dead even il defeated on important
nominations in the primaries. The dele
gates to that convention had been
elected at the same primaries which
defeated Cunmins and Garst but they
turned up progressive in principles
and the result of a convention in the
control of the defeated faction and
wisely managed turned out to be the
best thing that could have happened
for the good Of the ticket in the fall
elections. Harmony was forced and
those who were in need of some en-
couragement to fall Loyalty into line
were given Cancellation.
Incidentally the events Of the con-
vention made Governor Cummins about

the public life of this state today He

loser that ever encountered the vicissi-
tudes of politics.

THE SLAUGHTER OF THE TREES.

emerson Hough in Everybody's.)
1t Is sometimes suggested that some
thing could be done by the states, I'M
der their police powers, for the ex-
tension of good forestry methods into
the private handling Of these public
utilities, the standing forests. Perhaps
something might be done in this way;
no one yet can tell But certainly it
would not be enough, We must en-
large our national holdings; which
means that we must buy back large
tracts, the "title" to which was bought
from us for a song, or stolen from us
with a grin. Suppose we should get
absolutely crazy--or absolutely sane
and undertake to buy two million acres
mean SIS, OO0, 100000. Could we finance
that with bonds bearing interest? Not
yet We have not yet been squeezed
enough. We do not yet burn twigs and
fagots.
And yet our salvation lies along pre-
cisely that line The owning of larger
national tracts, and the extension OF
national methods into private tracts
the regulation Of private cutting and OF
private waste-certainly those two
things cover the entire situation. More
forestry, and more national forests
That is the remedy. It is the only
remedy!
But remember, there can be no rem
edy except such as you and wish to
apply. For the timber famine is ques-
ton that is strictly in politics today,
and must be in politics from this time
on. If should say that the election OF
q democratic governor in Minnesota, by
plurality Of $4,000 republican votes,
meant more than ten years OF forestry
for our trees-why, then / should be
called vague, visionary, and obscure.
But I do believe that. If I should say
that President Roosevelt, in his break
ing out of party tradition, and break
ing into the clean old Americanism that
does not confuse honest wealth with
corrupt wealth, has done more for our
trees than all our forestry work has
done-why, then I should be called
rabfd partisan, and a crank. But do
believe that, and am willing to remain
standing until counted to that effect.
1t is in clean politics that there lies
the only hope for our trees. The prob
lem is not solved. 1t will take able and
honest public men long time to solve
it wisely. AS for you and me, we can
do our little toward solving it by vot-
ing straight across the lines of party
tickets for the men that we know will
be clean and honest when they get into
office. To save our trees we must beat
our politicians.

the south; here are usually found all
windows. In many cases large open
ings are made on the south side, which
are covered with burlap or heavy mus
lin, thru which the air passes without
producing drafts. The muslin or bur-
lap keeps out the cold and at the same
time freely ventilates the house and
also lets in the light.
In some houses muslin curtains are

Tobacco as a vermicide.

The great enemy of the sheep grower,
is Intestinal worms. Were 1t not for
this, and especially the twisted stom-
ach worm, the increase in the f1ocks Of
sheep in the corn belt states would be
very rapid. It will be rapid in spite
of this for a number Of reasons: be-
cause Of the high price of mutton and
wool, because the sheep is fast becom-
ing necessity on the farm to keep
down weeds, and because sheep are
evidently to be excluded from the for
est reservations in the near future,
which will greatly increase the demand
for sheep from the farms as well as
the profits of growing them.
While the subject has not yet been
so fully investigated as to be able to
state positive results, it may be said
that probably the best remedy, and the
one most easily administered to sheep
for this disease, is tobacco. For at
least a quarter of a century some
farmers have been giving tobacco to
their horses as vermicide. There is
every reason to believe that 1T will be
Just as effective when given to sheep
for a similar purpose. The experiments
SO far conducted seem to bear this out,
and we believe will demonstrate it in
the end.

Cost Of Building a Creamery.

During the past few years there
have been built in the United States
several thousand creameries, many
Of which have been successful from
the start, while others have failed af-
ter a few months operation, and
some were never even started.
An investigation Of the creamery
business in several states by the
United States department of agricul-
ture has shown that the cause Of
many of the failures was due to lack
of a sufficient number of cows, which
should not be less than 400, and that
others failed because Of improper or
ganization, in the case Of cooperative
creameries, and excessive cost OF
building and equipment. Many cream
cries have cost about twice their
actual worth, and were not Of the type
suited to the locality in which they
were built.
The cost Of a building about % x
4S feet will vary from $500 to $1,400,
dependent upon the locality, the con-
struction, and the cost of material
and labor. Such a building usually
consists of a main work room, engine
and boiler room (ncluding space for
refrigerator machine), coal room, re-
frigerator, storeroom, and office.
Machinery for a handseparator
plant, consisting Of Is horsepower
boiler, 10 horsepower engine, combi-
nation churn with a capacity Of 900
pounds of butter, and other necessary
apparatus, will cost approximately
1900 Machinery for a whole-milk
plant will cost about $3.50. This
equipment will handle from 1000 to
1900 pounds of butter per day. If a
refrigerating machine is included, the
cost will be from 5000 to $1,000 more.
The total cost of a creamery would
therefore vary from $4,000 for a sim
pie hand-separator, where labor
and material are cheap. to s4250 for
a whole-milk plant including artificial
refrigeration and a higher cost of
labor and material.
The department of agriculture is
prepared to furnish information for
the proper organization of creameries
and cheese factories, and upon re-
quest will supply plan of organization,
list of machinery, and plan for cream
cry. Correspondence should be adj
dressed to the Dairy Division. United
