improving Iowa Dairy Cattle.

The average Iowa COW produces l4U
pounds of ibutterfat each year. There Is
no reason why she should not produce
$50 pounds.
1t takes the proceeds from 140 pounds
Of butterfat 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. Ut is the pur-
pose of the Iowa Dairy Cattle Inn
proyement association, which was or
gained 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 We're made for each COW.
That would mean $40 more per COW.
There are over 100000 cows in the
state. IL their average yearly returns
could be increased $40 it would mean
$15,0O0,0O0 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-better dairy cat
tie. Every man who millls cows ought
to help in this great work

Recent events have moved various
departments of the government to in
augurate a concerted effort to clean the
Augean stables of anarchy. Anarchic
and Black Hand crimes have REQUIRED
with such frequency and the ctrcula-
ton OF seditious literature has grown
so bold that extreme measures nave
been deemed necessary.
The government In the past mas
been altogether too lenient and It's
nuiescent attitude has invited the
scum of the old world to come mere

teachings. Anarchy has no place or

world plague, the germs of which are
fostered by and thrive in poverty ana
Ignorance and under forms of govern
ment and conditions of society in

ing to note that during the past year
60 600 objectionable immigrants were
refused landing on our shores. Yet the
immigration laws. either thru lack OF
effectiveness or dereliction on the part
of inspection and police officers. have
permitted many others to come.
Now it is announced that the de-
partments OF commerce and labor, JUS

forces in an effort to eXterminate

A SLIGHT DIFFERENCE.

Only a few weeks ago the New York
Sun in startling lines editoris.lly de-
clared that Roosevelt had taken the
first step to begin war between this
country and Japan: that in sending our
big fleet of war vessels on trip
around the world we virtually placed
chip on our shoulders and invited
the Japanese to knock it Off; that the
Atlantic coast being left unprotected,
it was only a question Of short time
before the Japs would be Smelling New

But day or so ago this country
received a very cordial invitation from
Japan for this same fleet to stop at
japanese ports and receive the hospi-
tality of the Japanese people Already
preparations are being made for en-
tertainment that will eclipse any for
mer function of like nature. We can
now look for declaration in the Sun
showing this later step on the part of
the laps to be a trap, whereby they
will capture our whole fleet, make all
of our navy officials and marines
walk the plank" then man our sixteen
war ships with Japanese sailors, cruise
across the big pond with their Dig navy
thus reinforced, and capture every city
on our Atlantic coast from the Gulf
of Mexico to that OF Maine. 1t is to be
hoped their fighting force will not
reach Iowa before we have time to
build a few mud forts and call out the
state troops.

Tree Planting.

| 1t is a lamentable fact that large
part of the trees planted are put into
the ground just as they come from the
nursery, without pruning either root
or branch; often put into holes too
small to admit the roots without being
cramped, and without any fine rich soil
for the roots to feed upon. It Is no
wonder that SO many trees die of star
walton the first season, or linger along
for years without making satisfac-
tory growth.
All trees when received from the
nursery should be put at once into a
cellar, or some tight shed or stable.
where the roots will be entirely secure
from sun and wind, and the ends of
every bruised root cut smooth with q
sharp knife, cutting from the under
side, and any very long root shortened.
If the land is not ready for planting,
they should be at once "heeled in" In
some sheltered spot. and left until the
ground is ready for them.
No tree should be planted till the
, water has dried out enough SO that the
soil will crumble in the hand and can
be filled in compactly among the
roots. Dig holes large enough SO that
at least six inches of fine earth can
he put in the hole under the tree to
be planted, and have the hole at least
ten inches larger in diameter than the
roots of the tree. Place the tree in
the hole with the heaviest part Of the
top to the southeast, that being the
direction of the prevailing wind dur
ing the growing season. Now get right
down on your knees, grasp the tree
with the left hand to hold 1t upright.
and with the right hand work in fine
soil among the roots. AS soon as the
roots are we'll covered, get into the
hole, and with the foot press the soil
firmly around the roots. Now put in
about three inches more dirt and press
it down again. and keep on in this way
until the hole is nearly full. Have
two inches Of loose soil on top. Give
thorough cultivation the first season at
least One tree planted in this way is
worth half dozen planted in the or
binary way
Dig the holes before bringing out
the trees.
Select a cloudy day if possible for
planting trees, never a windy one, If
you can help it.
Cut the tops on deciduous trees and
shrubs to correspond with the loss of
roots.
On the lawn mulch of rotted hay
or straw is wonderful help to newly
set trees.

WHAT OF THE HARVEST?

There have been periods In history
when for entire generations mankind

AS You watch the growing plants

Sows that are permitted to run out

AN UNJUST CRITICISM.
Manson Jonrnal1


There has been more or less criti-
cism of the progressive element of the
republican party for not making a
fight in the last caucuses. Such criti-
cism is unnecessary and ill timed, fo-
there were many elements which in
duced the progressives to let matters
go largely by default instead of maxi
ing a fight over a non-essential ques-
ton Up in Woodbury. county, where
the progressives are far in the lead,
they did not attend the caucuses at
all, letting the Allison men have the
delegation without protest, believing 1t
were better to save their strength un-
til the proper time comes, when the
question can be fought out on it's mer-
its without entangling other matters.
The Cummins voters will be on hand
when the second Of June comes. and
what is more they will not be around
threatening to knife the ticket if they
cannot have their own way.

CAN'T BE HURRIED.

Most reforms are of slow growth.
Naturally spelling reform, which does
not vitality affect the lives or for
tunes of people, will be of very slow
growth Hence it is that when one
man or few men attempt to make an
arbitrary spelling rule whereby the or
biography of so many words is radi-
cally changed, such attempts results in
failure. Any movement which has the
appearance of an attempt to make
over the language in day is pre-
destined to failure - and especially
when, as in recent attempts, there is
too apparent effort to affect us with
the John Billings style of photography.
Improve the language by the use Of
simplified spelling just as rapidly as it
is practicable. In bringing about sim
plification it may eventually even be
advisable to have official revision of
dictionaries once in a decade or two.
But do not expect to make over" any
very considerable portion OF the lam
guage in a day. The people are not
yet educated to the point where such
an attempt is practicable.

TINE FOR REVISION.

II will be recalled that it was when
vision of the tariff to Immediately fol-
low the last presidential election that
the Iowa standpatters broke forth in a
TRADE of factionalism directed toward
him. Governor Cummins has always
stood for timely revision of the tar
if as we'll as business revision. And
1t is known of all men everywhere that
Cummins has always advocated re-
vision of the tariff by it's friends and
as a measure for the perfecting and
preserving Of the policy of protection
as distinguished from any revision in
the direction of strictly revenue tar
iff. There has been no controversy
over this.
Then 1t is also recalled that as
against the Cummins view there was
set up the opposing view that tariff
revision by republicans would be dan
gerous and that tariff revision
after election or before cleo
ton would be disastrous. The rabid
ants mouthed the words tariff rip
pers" until they actually made a great
many people In Iowa, believe that
tariff revision as advocated by Cover
nor Cummins and given voice in sew
eral Iowa republican platforms, was a
most reprehensible thing and wholly
un-republican.
Now comes the iowa republicans, as
a united party, declaring definitely for
tariff revision and indicating, Just as
Governor Cummins did four years ago,
that this revision should come as soon
as possible. A special session Of con-
gress was urged then and it Is to be
urged now.
The time for revision IS important
only from purely factional or political
aspect. The only reason which can be
urged for not having the revision made
at some other time than following a
national election is the danger of such
a political controversy as would en-
danger party success Against this
might properly be urged that revision
before election, If such revision was
done properly and to the credit Of the
revisers, would be distinct advantage
in the election. Usually performance
is better than promises. Those who

If senatorial matters are to be dis

voters who didn't happen to have a

such a feeling among the defeated

state convention in Des Moines the So
called minority was in most amiable
mood, and If they were whipped they
