Nearly every community north and south harbors some son of nature who persists in fishing all summer and let ting the county support his family dur ing the winter. Just what is best to do with this sort of truck is a mighty difficult problem, for the laws of the land will not permit of their judicial extermination. We believe that so- ciety would justify the government in 6orcibly taking Oese fellows and put ting them in the army or navy. It is this sort of invited and provoked pow erty that makes the working citizen weary.

While the state of Iowa is leader in many commendable agricultural lines, she falls down badly when it comes to a utilization of the vast amount of roughage which grows to maturity every year in her 0,OO0,0o0 acres of cornfields. While it has been found that a ton of well cured corn fodder contains as much nutritivc value as a ton of timothy hay, 1t Is estimated that up to the present not more than 5 per cent of this vast amount of fodder is cut and utilized annually in the most effective way. A radical reformation must be forthcom- ing if Iowa is to live up, to her agri- cultural opportunities.

Experiments which have been con ducted by the department of agricul- ture show that the dairy barn should be so constructed that there will be four square feet of window glass for each COW and large enough so that there will be 500 cubic feet of air space for each animal. It should have inlets and outlets for air, but the ven- tilation should be so arranged that cows will not be subjected to drafts.

In these days, when 1t is difficult and at times we'll nigh impossible to get the help needed at husking time. the hog raiser has an additional incentive for hogging down his corn. Instead of this being slipshod and unbusiress- like procedure. it has been determined in few tests conducted by the Min nesota experiment station that hogs fed in this way gained in flesh much more rapidly than a like bunch kept in feed lot and having the corn pick ed and thrown to them. Where the fields are properly fenced and there is any money at all in the feeding of corn the experiment would seem to be well worth making.

There is perhaps more satisfaction to De derived from the quality than quan- tity of a crop. This accounts for the delight which the orchardist feels in picking large and perfect fruit, the po- tato or onion raiser in harvesting crops which will class as fancy and the farmer in running his fingers through the stream of plump, well filled grain as it comes from the spout of the thrashing machine or in the resound- ing whack which the large, golden, even rowed ears of corn make as they go pumping against the throw board.
