THE DIFFERENCE.
(Clear Lake Reporter.)

NNlShi AelNS INSpcA SCA'J
There is one radical difference be-
tween the two candidates for senator
one comes out squarely and frankly
and says where he stands on every
question of Importance, and uses his
influence manfully to further the prin-
ciples in which he believes; the other
candidate has never come out boldly
and expressed his convictions on any
question until the court of popular
opinion had first given it's verdict.
How did Allison stand on prohibition
when 1t was an issue in Iowa? We
frankly admit that we can't answer
this question. Can the Republican?
How did he stand on the question OF
law enforcement at several times when
ii was an issue in Dubuque, his home
town? Can the Republican give us an
answer?
Pretty hard question to define how
he stands on any question.
We honor any man who will frankly
and honestly express his convictions
and give reason for his belief, even
If we differ with him on that question

could otherwise have. If he chooses to
initiate prices our people have to pay
more than the hardware is worth and
the gambler pockets the difference. If
he chooses to depress prices, and the
one is as easy as the other. the fell
low with hardware to sell does not get
what it is worth and in either case the
public can not study the country's
demand and supply and intelligently
estimate as to the market because no
one knows which way the gambler is
going to play the game. Let trading
in futures on margin be prohibited and
we would have left a legitimate and
stable market for grain, cotton, stocks
and bonds just as the wholesalers now
have for groceries, clothing and hard
ware.

take the place of exercise. The prop
ability is that the brood sows on the
whole will be more successful next
spring than for many years. on ac-
count of the poor corn crop.
Corn is not good feed for the
brood SOW. In a season like this
more can be given than when corn
is better: but her main feed should
be something that does not tend to
fatten See that she has plenty of work
for the day and n good dry warm
bed where she can be comfortable
without piling up at night. These
are two of the main factors in sue
cessful pig raising.
A sow should be at least eight to
ten months old before she is bred
the first time. Better let them arrive
at this age even If the pigs are
little late in coming next spring.
Even if she is successful in farrow-
ing her litter she will not give the
nurse for them that they require, I'M
der a year old.
our habit has been the first sea-
son with young soWs to have them
come about a month later than they
were born the season previous. rms
would leave them thirteen months
old when they farrow their first lit
ter. BY this method the young soWs
can farroW when on the clover pas
lures which always means more pigs
with less danger. They will also
make better udder and raise their
young more satisfactorily
There is nothing gained In crowd
ing young soWs for early pigs.

Sitting Hens VS.. lneubators.
Dakota Farlner.)


It Is a constant surprise to us to hnd
such a wide difference of opinion
upon the Matching question. our
women poultry-keepers seem to dltfer
the most. as to whether the hen or
the incubator is the less troublesome
and satisfactory.
For our part. we can get along nicely
with the sitting hen. when proper
quarters are provided so she can be by
herself. with no danger of being mo-
Tested by laying hens. Other sitters
are not apt to make trouble. it. they,
too, have good quarters away from
outside disturbance. When hens are
set in groups of four, six. eight or
more. and pains taken to discard in
fertile eggs at the proper time, as
with incubators, not infrequently the
number can be reduced a quarter at
that time. Again, when the chickens
hatch. the number can again be re-
duced. generally half, the best moth
ers being retained to care Tor the
chickens.
If a few sheep are kept around, or
a lawn mower is frequently used,
weeds and grass can be kept down so
the small chicks can, after the first
day or two, be allowed to go out dur
ing most of the day. unless 1t IS
stormy. One fault, we think, IN
chicken raising is that we make our
small coops too small, and while they
are not needed when the weather IS

There will be opportunity as the
campaign progresses to discuss this
question in detail. At this time 1t IL
enough to say that the Register and
Leader. in the present situation with
the issues formed as they are not only
in Iowa, but in the nation. with the
problems ahead that must be dealt
with in the coming six years. believes
that Governor Cummins more fully
represents the purposes of the state
than any man who could be chosen.

COMES OUT FOR cUMM1Ns.

(RegiSter and Leader)
The Register and Leader has made
it perfectly plain that in it's opinion
it would be unwise to return Senator
Allison to the United States senate
The reasons may be briefly reviewed:
He will be so years of age at the
conclusion of his present term, and at
that age 1t is the service of friends
to counsel life of ease and retire
ment.
In nosother official position except
ing a seat in congress would contin-
uation of service be permitted, and it
was not the purpose of the fathers to
have a seat in congress different in
this regard from other official posi-
tions.
There is plenty Of precedent for the
retirement OF old men with honor,
even from legislative service. Prince
Bismarck was retired by Emperor
William, perhaps the most conspicu-
Gus instance In modern times, and the
world approved the change. altho Bis
marck was the most notable figure Of
the century.
1t would be possible to multiply in
stances to show that there is no nee
essary disregard of the honorable
service of a long life in terminating
it's official activities. 1t has never
been suggested. we believe, that the
Methodist church was unmindful of
the services of its venerable bishops
when it retired four of them Bishop
Vincent among the number. at con-
ference at which Senator Dolliver was
voting delegate, If we are not mis-
taken.
Laying aside the mere matter of
age, it is no secret that Senator Alli-
son is afflicted with a nalady that
carried Jefferson S. Polk so suddenly
to his grave, in old age not only pain
full but incurable. Senator Allison
may be up today and down tomorrow.
He may live few years or a few
weeks. To re-elect him senator would
not be to benefit him in any way, but
merely to postpone the choice the
state must make to the near future.
The argument that others have been

permitted to die in the senate might
be admitted If it were to end with
Senator Allison. But every time this
precedent is needed ii Is strengthened
and it is bad precedent, without
reason or justification. 1t is no more
to Senator Allison's permanent honor
to be permitted to die In the senate
than in the counting room In the lat
ter case it would be q lasting re-
proach to his friends.

as we must all believe. rounded 1t to

Tho Norway Poplar.

Tree planters turnout the northern
portion of the middle west have had
brought to their attention lately the
extraordinary value of the Norway
poplar. a near relative Of the common
cottonwood. which possesses fine quail
tiles that bid fair to raise the prestige
Of the whole cottonwood family.
This cottonwood is shrouded in
mystery. so far as Its origin is con-
cerned 1t bears no cottonwood and
is reproduced entirely from cuttings.
The tree grows straight and lean
and it is said that the bark never
scalds or cracks. The wood Is
straight grained and suitable for
lumber. 1t splits easily, seasons
quickly and makes excellent fuel.
The Norway poplar grows very rap
idly In Minnesota it has been known
to grow fifty feet high with diameter
OF seventeen inches in fourteen years.

its leaves until late in the autumn,

The advantage which the Norway

is chiefly in it's greater hardness,

be some time before the Norway pop
lar will be available for widespread
planting, since cuttings of the true
variety are at present very scarce
and hard to obtain.
