MESSAGES THAT FIzzLe.

| President Roosevelt great as he is
in the leadership of public sentiment
has worn himself out on congress. That
benign body of do-nothings has ceased
to fear the flagellation of a message
from the White House. People have
become enuied to the reading of them
and newspaper men are compelled to
seek for the concentration of six col
umns Of text into two columns Of type.
Why is all this?
The president has demonstrated the
futility Of attempting to accomplish his
purpose by public appeal while the
nomination and election to office is SO
often machine made. So long as the
people OF an Illinois district continue
man like Cannon in congress and so
long as the people OF other districts
send men there who will continue the
power of speaker in the hands OF
Cannon, just so long will the president
beat against the closed doors of con-
gressional sympathy without re-
Spouse.
One short message Of quarter of
column from the president could
startle the whole crowd into action. 1t
could wake the dead and create such a
din and confusion of motion to do
something for the public welfare that
the old dome would ring and resound
like a liberty bell. All he need say
in the message is to appeal to the peo-
pie of the respective congressional
districts and Of the respective states to
send new blood to congress. Give US
new DEAL" let the president cry, and
we would have it even before the peo-
pie could get busy. SO long as con-
gressmen and senators are machine
made, according to the standards of
the special interests or antiquated by
life tenure in office. the president will
get nothing but cha, ha," as acknoWl-
edgement of his official messages.
1--WE get one nearly every day, now"
remarks Speaker Cannon, with con-
tempt, because nothing is done at
home to make him appreciative. The
president should discuss the question
of who should go to congress. He'd
get more for his money.

THE TIDE COMING IN.

The tide has turned and the waves
of business prosperity are surely and
certainly flowing in. The subscription
for the Pennsylvania Railroad Com
panys forty million dollar per cent
bond issue has been oversubscribed
three times.
The fiotation is regarded in financial
circles as the most successful since the
Spanish war loan in 1898, when $780,
100000 in bonds We're offered by the
government. At that time patriotism
was the inspiration.
The over-subscription yesterday was
the result Of the rush on the part Of
the public to secure a first-class rail-
road mortgage on favorable terms and
Of the large accumulations of money
in the banks. Even with call money
at / per cent, short loans at 2h and
borrowers have been scarce and the
surplus Of the New York banks on
Saturday was nearly $60,0OO,00O, not
wirhstanding that the government had
withdrawn large amounts Of funds and
over s7,000,000 had been shipped to
Europe. The fact that there was more
than billion dollars seeking invest
ment in bonds is considered in Wall
street as proof that confidence has been
restored.
For nearly three years now the rail-
roads of the country have been in dis
tress to borrow money. 1t was so be-
fore the panic and for two years be-
fore. The facts We're that unparalleled
prosperity had found use for all the
money that was available to loan. Bus
mess men had borrowed all there was
to borrow and the railroads could not
find any more cheap money. They were
compelled to tide themselves over by
offering their short time notes at six
and seven per cent. Times got tighter
and tighter until they broke in the
panic. Since then everybody has been
paying up what he owed the other fell
low and no one borrowing for new en-
terprises until there is a scarcity Of
borrowers and the people with money
to loan are willing to take railroad
bonds at 4 per cent. The Pennsyl-
vania's bond issue will be followed by
others. period of cheap money is on.
The tide has turned and the two-cent
fare laws are still in force.

Looker-On In Iona

Fearing, April 30.-Atho the scheme
not likely to invest any more money
in similar one at present, still it is
interesting to notice the ingenuity dis
played to secure the cash. Some months
ago advertisements appeared in many
Of the Iowa papers that the Globe
Realty Company of Sioux City could
sell real estate located any where. A.
least two of the writer's business
friends wrote the Sioux City concern.
Upon receiving an inquiry as to It's
business methods, it is alleged the
company replies to the effect that the
owner of the property should exper-
fence no difficulty in finding ready
sale. Blanks for listing and describing
the property are Enclosed and the
terms explained. which the prospective
seller is assured he will find satisfac-
tory. With the letter of explanation
blank contract is inclosed for the
property owner to fill out.
The contract is asserted to be am
biguous and misleading and to have a
"catch" phrase which has entrapped
many persons. 1t reads as follows:
Try TO ma me buyer Luz MY
property by including it in your ads
for -- months, or until your right
to sell is sooner terminated" Follow
ing a description, the terms, etc, is
this paragraph:
"When you perform your part of
the agreement will pay you at Sioux
City, Ia. ] per cent of invoice price:
or if you find me an acceptable pur-
chaser. will give YOU that with the ex-
cess he agrees to pay, if any. Your
right to sell is terminated if | give You
written notice or sell the property"
This seemed fair and straight
business proposition. as the business
man signed the blank contract. Some
months after he received bill for
s120 for the advertising given his prop
ert. Then he began to sit up and
notice things, and found out he had
really given an order for them to adj
vertise his property.
The Sioux City Journal mentions an
other plan or rather another side line
Of the scheme. The scheme of the
as revealed by the govern
ment agents Is obvious. 1t Is charged

sell any property In the course OF
time the property owner receives no
tice from the company that he Is IN
debted for a certain sum, which Is as
agreed upon, l per cent, (the terms
vary) OF the invoice price, or the val
Tie of the property. AS the property
owner probably never has sold his
property he receives the notice with
surprise, and generally demurs against
paying, but after closely inspecting his
contract he finds the company has only
agreed to try" and sell the property
and that he Is indebted to 1t, as its
part of the contract has been per-
formed. Ii the owner still refuses to
pay, suit is brought against him in
the courts. These suits, it is claimed,
are sometimes instituted in places far
away from the residence of the owner,
and rather than go to great expense
in fighting the company. settlement
is often made. There are several cases
now pending in the district court
wherein the company has brought suit
in Justice court, and appeals have been
taken.
The same paper has been looking up
matters ana says.
The government agents have I'M
earthed another real estate scheme to
defratd the unwary. Certain real es
tate agents list property, advertise 1t
for sale. and then appear on the scene
with a straw purchaser, who makes
u small payment to bind the bargain.
1t being understood that the abstract
of title Is to be approved by a certain
attorney. After a certain length of
time has elapsed the examiner of the
abstract finds flaw in the title and
of course the straw purchaser re-
fuses to take the property. The real
estate man then sues the property
owner for his commission. on the
ground that he has performed his

Soil Exhaustion.

Forest destruction is to be greatly
deplored, and the whole face of the
country, IL not the climate and rain
fall, is being changed by it. But farm
ers are responsible for more dam
aging thing than that-the exhaustion
of the soil. That completed means the
starvation of race Nature never
exhausts soils. She has been building
them up thru all the years since ere
alton, and would still be doing so IL
man did not interfere with her plans.
Soils should never be exhausted.
Crop after crop may be produced, and
each season finds the soil more eager
to grow another. But it must not be
the same crop grown in the same old
way every year. What is taken from
1t must be returned. either by the
farmer himself or by the following
crop.
Cultivated ground gets bad If it has
no humus in it, and that calls for the
blowing under of some crop to rot and
make a vegetable mold. 1t is likely to
get sour and unproductive if it has no
potash or PHOSPHORUS in 1t, and that
calls for lime, ground rock or bone
meal 1t gets weak and has that tired
feeling" lacks energy, IL it is deficient
in nitrogen, and that calls for a few
well administered doses of the leg
umes-clover, peas, soy beans, alfalfa,
etc.
But in any condition it calls for all
the barnyard manure you make, and
1t wants it in such shape that it can
swallow it all. 1t is hard to properly
dish it up without a manure spreader.
Land freshly planted, however, given
a good, even dressing of barnyard ma
nure with a modern manure spreader,
and then well narrowed, is eager to do
its best with any crop. Farmers who
reduce the above simple outline to
practice may have richer farms the
longer they own them, and can never
be charged with having robbed the
coming generations by impoverishing

best results, scours or Indigestion Of
ten resulting This is due to the fact
that mares milk and cows milk differ
considerably in composition, cows
milk being richer in fat or oil, and the
mares milk containing a much great
er amount of sugar. Hence, when
whole cows milk is fed to a young
colt it contains more oil than the colt
is able to handle properly, and trou-
bic often results. To properly prepare
cows milk for colt feed it should be

Charcoal for Hoas.

To secure this needed product for the
feed lot two methods are In vogue.
The easiest and quickest way Is to rake
the cobs into Windrows, set them on
fire in the open air, and as fast as the
fire gets thru them throw on water
enough to put out the fire. However,
a more thorough way Is to have pit
about five feet long, three feet wide
and three feet deep. This pit is sur
rounded with fence to keep hogs and
other animals out of 1t. In the morn
ing commence by spreading over the
entire bottom of the pit something dry
and fine that will burn readily. Set
this on fire. first having the cobs all
ready to shovel on. Put in the cobs
fast enough to smother ali the blue
smoke; watch this carefully. AS soon
as the blue smoke appears put on more
cobs. If the cobs are dry there Is no
difficulty in getting the fire to tho top
Of the pit in six hours. When you
have the pit full and we'll rounded up
sprinkle a little fine dirt over the spots
where the blue smoke begins to appear.
Keep following 1t UP, following lightly
as fast as the blue smoke is seen. It
will take about an hour to complete the
work. and by this time the water
smoke will be nearly exhausted. Then
at once spread over the entire surface
an inch or so of fine dirt. Rake 1t with
a garden rake or manure fork; this
makes the covering alright. and
brings the few unfinished ,obs to the
surface. Throw these to one side. Now
put on about two more inches Of dirt
and rake again, and walk over It to
press the dirt down tight all around
so that every chance for the char
coal to settle Is shut off. If you have
done the work right you are sure to
have several bushels Of pure cob char

Drilling in Corn.
est. Paul F'armer.)

OF late years there has been con-
siderable discussion at our farmers
institutes on planting the corn in drills
instead of hills. Many agricultural
writer's have taken up this subject, the
most of whom seem to be earnest adj
vocates of sowing the corn one way.
We feel that the most OF these insti-
tute lecturers and agricultural writer's
are making grave mistake. We do
not mean by this that rowing the corn
one way is always the wrong thing to
do. The criticism that we have to Of
fer is that a great many Of these writ
ers and speakers recommend drilling to
every one, on all kinds Of land and
under all conditions.
On land that is not very weedy and
where the soil is of a character that
no amount of rain will delay the culti-
time it is possible to keep a corn field
reasonably clean by cultivating but
one way. especially if the weeder is
used until the corn is ten inches or a
foot high; in fact it takes ideal condi-
tions to keep a corn field clean when
planted in this way, but when condi-
tons are favorable we must admit that
a much larger yield can be obtained
by this plan than when the corn is
planted in hills. On the other hand
when the land is Of that character
that dries out slowly II the subsoil is
SO impervious that the heavy rainfalls
must evaporate instead of percolating
below, planting in hills is the only
safe practice.
The same indiscriminate advice is
often given regarding the use of the
weeder. Every farmer is advised to use
the weeder, and it is fortunate that all
are usually advised in the same man

that IN sandy dry coi1s and In die

unwise has been uncovered by the
government agents. The real estate
man and straw purchaser appear as
before. The property looks good to
the 'phoney' buyer and he agrees to
purchase it. small sum is paid down.
Then the real estate man demands his
commission, but the owner demurs
against paying it until he has received
all of his purchase price. The agent.
however, insists that he has performed
his part, so, If the owner is willing,
the agent agrees to take the money
just paid down, and a note for the
balance. This appears reasonable
enough, and the owner usually con-
sents. The note Is taken to the bank
and discounted, and the pair seek other
victims.
The United States authorities are
determined to stamp out fraudulent
real estate transactions, and several
concerns, which are charged with
using ambiguous contracts are under
suspicion"
After investigating it's business
methods In response to numerous
complaints from people in various sec
lions of the state, the postoffice de-
partment has issued a fraud order de-
nying the use of the mails to the
Globe Realty company, its agents and
w. G. Smith. The matter has been
in the hands of the authorities at
Washington for some time. and Dep
uty United States Marshal j. A. Tracy
was appraised of the result Of the in
vestigation. 1t is evident that many
sharp. shrewd business men were
caught by this ingeniously worded
order and signed contract, all of which
is another proof of the need of the
greatest caution in signing ones name
to any contract or order.
