BALD SENATORS NOT POPULAR.
BARRIERS Of the Capital Prefer Those
with Flowing Locks.

! The ambition of the BARRIERS Ct the
selves OF hair mattress made of the
hirsute clippings Of their dignitied pat
rons seems likely soon To be realized.
II was long time ago that these bar
bers, it is alleged. entered into con,
Epiracy To have little graft in com.

OF life. official and otherwise They
aimed high, in fact al the very heads
OF their august customers. and began
at once to save the hair clippings that
were ordinarily gathered mp and sent

have a useful article when they sue

possess the most unique hair mattress
in the world They VIII be able 10 sell
1t. II they desire, with certificate,
their signatures Witnessed by a notary
public, declaring even the names Of
distinguished statesmen who contrib
uted to their hair graft.
The BARRIERS since they determined
upon this campaign for senatorial
hair mattress have naturally had their
preferences for wen-haired senators.
and bald men have had very little
standing with them Various halls OF
fame have been erected and dedicated
to men of high accomplishments but
it is doubtful if any hall of fame ever
included more distinguished names
than this mattress of fame the sole
qualification of which has been a seat
in the senate and a bunch OF good
hair. The BARRIERS were sorely disap-
pointed that they did not get another
chance to clip Senator Spooners hair.

The cackle Of the Iowa hen is an
humble lay, but not so it's eggs.
In the ranks of feathered creatures
she is not listed as bird of parad Use,
but when it comes to the production
Of wealth, she is "beaut." She may
be stupid, but she is devoted to her
task, and though the labyrinthian
processes of thought are not for her,
yet she has an instinct that delivers
the goods-hen fruit by the billion
every year.
Why so much praise for the Iowa
hen?
Listen! ,
The eggs that Iowa's hens produce
each year are worth in round numbers
SIS, 100000. There are more than 10O,-
600, 900 dozens of them each twelve
month, or to get down to individual
eggs, more than 1000, 100000. That's
enough to fill a pot three times as
big as the skyscraping Fleming Block
if the eggs were broken and dropped
in. In addition she lays on the altar
of the appetite of the epicure and the
Methodist preacher about $4,000, 900
or 81, 600, 900 in fries and stews every
year.
That is the product of the Iowa
hen, only. It is marvellous story in
figures, but here is a better one. The
hens of the United States produce
every year more than 20, 600, 900 900
eggs. Billions are so hard to compre-
hend- perhaps it would be better to
say that the value Of the output Of
the hens of the country, including
both eggs and chickens, is half bill
lion dollars. That is five times as
much as the gold output Of the Unit
ed States and as large or larger than
the entire annual gold output Of the
whole world.
Coming back to the Iowa hen, she
leads tile hens of the United States.
Hens seem to be more numerous In

the state, national, savings and state.
Iowas hens are as valuable as the
gold mines of California, for they pro-
duce as much wealth every year.
The annua! product OF 1owa's poultry
yards would about pay the interest on
the entire interest bearing debt Of the
United States. 1t would pay about
half of the grocery bills of all its peo-
pie, or it would much more than keep
all of Iowa's men, women and child
rem in clothing, hats, shoes and small
change.
1t is an old saying that two eggs
contain as much nourishment as
pounds of beef. But to be generous
to the COW, put the egg and the pound
of beef on even terms. Then Iowa S
annual eggs output has the same real
food value as 1900, 900 pounds OF
beef, which is more than would be
produced by the slaughter of a mil
lion fine corn-fed animals.
Is it any wonder that Secretary
James Wilson Of the Department. Of
Agriculture, on the occasion Of his
recent visit to the State Fair at Des-
Moines, made an especial plea for bet
ter attention to the hen and her
needs?
Is it any wonder that Secretary
Wilson said in one of his annual re-
ports not so very long ago that the
hen is tit companion to the farmers
COW?
Is it any wonder that he declared
that the State Fair management
ought to offer greater encouragement
to the poultry show held under its
auspices?
''The poultry industry Of the farm
pays the living expenses Of the far
mer," said Secretary Wilson, in an
interview while he was here. "It
amounts to as much in this nation as
the wheat crop. 1t almost equals the
cotton crop. 1t is worth encouraging.
Let the fair management offer compe-
tition and premiums Of large size to
the housewives on the farms of the
state, in the poultry department, and
let more attention be paid to this re-
markable industry. Then if the far
mer wants an extra automobile the
good housewife may be able to buy it
without any one missing the money!"
Dakota farmers' leader. (Canton, S.D.) 1890-19??, 1908-11-20

Iowa and buster, for Iowa annually
produces more eggs than any other
state, by 10000, 900 of dozens, or l2O,-
100000 of eggs. The Iowa hen lays
enough eggs to furnish every man,
woman and child in the state with
two eggs every breakfast in the year,
except Sundays, and with eggs six a
week nobody would kick seriOuly on
their absence on the seventh, anyway.
If one man were to undertake to
break the eggs that Iowa hens lay in
a single day itFwould take him very
nearly half a year to.do--t job, and
If they were to be broken before break
fast for an omelet, couple OF fried
or poached eggs on toast, it would
require the services of at least $4,000
cooks and helpers. If the eggs that
are laid by Iowa hens in a year were
to be made into one monster omelet,
it would stretch it's fluffy area over
nearly half Of Des Moines' fifty-four
square miles. If laid end to end,
Iowa's annual egg crop would stretch
out in line more than $1,000 miles
long-or once and ahalf around the
world. If they were spread out on
the ground, end to end and side to
side, they would cover an area of
about 300 acres lovely promenade
ground for the statesmen who tiptoe
around on eggs. Two hundred trains
of twenty cars each would be required
to transport them.
Iowa s annual egg output is worth
more than its wheat crop by again as
much. It is worth half more than
the states annual coal product.
Iowa's hen fruit would more than pay
half of the taxes paid by the citizens
Of the statefor all purposes whatso-
ever, and If Its chickens were given
about two years time for the job
they could produce enough wealth,
by little extra effort, to buy up all
the capital stock of all the banks Of
