But thank the Lord we understand
THE sTanDPAT LIMITATION

The Marshalltown Times Republican
expresses conviction that Cannon
would rather be succeeded by a demo-
crat than progressive Is it not a
fact, also, that the insurgents would
rather see q democrat in the speakers
chair than have Cannon continue to
occupy it? If not, why do they pursue
policy that if continued must make
certain Of such result Sioux City
Journal.
The Journal has settled the align
ment of Itself and the men and inter
ests with whom it is lined up. The in
ference may be Justly drawn from the
Journals statement that it and its fac
ton offers The choice between Cannon,
Cannonism, and a democratic house
and a dernoc"at in the speakers chair.
That is the utinatum: Cannonism or
democratic success.
Would the progressives prefer to see
a democrat rather than Cannon in the
chairo No doubt there would be a
division Of sentiment. The progressives
would prefer an impartial republican,
republican not dominated by any in
terest except the public interest, to
either Cannon or a democrat. The pro-
gressives are not pursuing policy
that is calculated to end in a dem
ocratic speaker unless. as the Journal
insists, there is but one republican in
congress who deserves and is qualified
over democrats TO be speaker over a
republican house. 1t is not the Tines
Republican and the progressive ele-
ment who are offering the choice. The
Journal and It's element are saying to
the republican congressman, and the
republican party, Submit TO keep Can
non where he can DO the most good
to the least number or be compelled 10
accept democratic victory"
The progressives do not believe that
the party can succeed with Joe Can
non and his kind in supreme COM
mand. If the progressive leaders were
ready to submit the rank and file Of
the party would not. Progressives want
better republican. If the Journal is to
be given its place as a standpat mouth
piece the standpatters propose to force
Joe Cannon or a democrat upon the
party.

Hay Tea for Calves.

George c. Cove, of Hennepin county.
Minnesota, writes: II am supplying
milk to the city trade, and consequently
nave no skim milk on which to raise
my heifer calves. Good cows are be-
coming so scarce and high priced that
1t takes the most of my profits to re-
plenish my herd. I have concluded
that to stay in the milk business I
must raise the heifer calves. Is there
any feed other than skim milk that
will answer for this purpose. When
boy. my mother raised calves on hay
tea, but have forgotten how 1t was
done, can The Farmer give me the
necessary instructions?
1t Is possible to raise first class
calves on hay tea providing the hay
is properly boiled? It is a we'll known
fact that the elements Of food can be
removed from hay by boiling, and the
different elements of food found in the
tea thus obtained. Is in about the same
proportion as In the hay before boiling:
and in diluted form it is susceptible
OF digestion by the younger calves.
Some claim that the food elements
boiled out Of hay are as digestible as
milk. In making hay tea, by all means,
use hay that was cut early which has
the most soluble matter, and be Ger.
tain that this hay is absolutely free
from mildew. The most common diff
ficulty is that the tea Is too thin, which
is due to its not being boiled down suf-
ficiently- 1t IS very easy to boil down
this tea until the proportion of solid
matter is the same or as great as IL
is in milk.
Professor Stuart, in an experiment In
feeding calves on hay tea, fed two gall
Ions of tea in which one-fourth of a
pound of flax seed and one-fourth Of a
pound Of wheat middlings had been
boiled, to each of five calves thirty
days old. This experiment was con-
tinued for sixty days with gradual
increase during the last thirty days Of
the middlings to one pound per day.
These calves did remarkably well,
gaining an average of little over two
pounds per head per day.

The TAX ON oLEo.

The tax on oleomargarine is one of
the injustices that needs immediate
fixing. II should be repealed or at least
reduced to merely nominal proper
tons. Under present conditions It
works the rankest injustice or a class
which can least afford to bear it. The
man who works for wages is paying
a heavy and discrininative tax to the
immediate benefit of another class that
does not need it and whose prosperity
IS z:ssa.--elous svcr Il this tine time of
marvellous prosperity.
None have any right to sell cleo for
butter but the man whose tastes or
circumstances give oleo the prefer
ence should have his moral right to
buy 1t supported by legal enactment
He ought not to be fined because he
buys one healthful food product for
the reason that it completes with an
other healthful good product. Shorn
of all its addenda that is the meat of
the matter. and should be sufficient.
The tax on cleo is discriminative ane
unjust.
The tax will be repealed. The sense
of its patent injustice is general. I'm
der the pure food laws and with ef-
ficient inspectors there is little danger
of substitution and substitution is the
main argument of those who favor the
tar.

is as applicable to individuals as to the

chimerical twenty years ago. Where
the nation is building the great canal

ing, specializing. We are living high.
cut and expenditures carefully con-
sidered belongs at home as much as it
does in Washington. 1t is a sermon to
be preached TO city and county govern
ments as we'll as to congress. The
spending spirit is in the air. Economy
and economical watchfullness are
stored UP stairs in the garnet. 1t is
time they were brought out and brush
ed up.
Our tedious system of court proceed
ure comes in for the most definite ar
raignment of any question discussed in
the message. With the presidents
forceful and imperative demand for re-
form in this matter the public will
unanim ously agree. The courts do need
reorganization as regards some Very
important and essential things.
The message is Rooseveltiar in but
one way. 1t closely approaches the pro-
lixity of the rough riders messages

The political barometer indicates
that low obtains in the vicinity of

Balanced Ration.

Ground rye makes an excellent feed
for the dairy COW, but numerous ex-
periments demonstrate that it should
not be fed in quantities of more than
three pounds per day to the COW. When
fed in large quantities it seems to have
a deleterious influence on the quality
Of the butter. The same is true in
feeding large quantities Of rye bran.
A very good combination is one -fourth
ground rye, one-fourth ground corn and
one-haf ground oats. The amount of
this ration to feed would depend upon
the capacity Of the cows. With fresh
mixers that are good producers, one
pound per day per hundred weight of
animal feed will be sufficient How
ever, this amount should be varied ac-
cording to the capacity of individual
animals.
The corn fodder and hay can be fed
literally. We prefer to give the cows
all the roughage that they will eat,
as such materials as cornfodder, hay
and silage, are the cheapest part of the
ration. Our only reason for not feed
ing the cows entirely upon these
coarse foods is, that they have not,
aAtei Supply Liz pouiiy maintenance,
the capacity to make a profitable pro-
duction of milk. OF all the rough
feeds, clover is perhaps the best and
it should be fed very literally where
the balance of the ration is composed
largely of carbonaceous foods as corn,
corn fodder and timothy hay. The
corn fodder should be fed literally dur
ing the forepart of the winter, or at
least fed in such quantities as to get
1t out of the way by March or April as
by this time it has become so dry,
woody and tasteless that the cows do
not relish it. 1t is the juice or sue
culence that makes it so relished by
the cows in early winter. and it is the
loss Of this sap that makes it poor
feed in the spring time

Cow Barn Floors.

Where bedding is scarce We know
of no better combination than plank
and dirt. There is no material upon
which COW will sleep so comfortably
without bedding as upon dirt. These
combination dirt and plank floors are
made by first making a plank box for
a drop. After putting this in place,
and filing the space between this
drop and the manger with dirt, a foot
plank is nailed to the drop as a stand
do not use this plank at all but pound
down cinders and clay thoroughly. 1t
is, however. almost impossible to keep
the cows clean without the plank for
their hind feet The space from this
plank to the manger should be filed
flush with the plank with dirt. The
cows will work the dirt out from their
front feet which will need to be oc-
casionally re-filed. This not only
makes a very comfortable but a cheap
floor, providing little care is exer-
cised in keeping it in condition.
While it is easier to keep the plank
or concrete floor clean they are not
as com Portable as dirt floor, especial
ly where little or no bedding is used
A concrete floor is absolutely intoler-
able without bedding
The distance from the drop to the
manger depends upon the size of the
cows, and the manner in which they
are fastened. The ordinary COW fas-
tened in stanchions requires plat
form about four feet eight inches from
manger to drop. In mixed lot of
cows varying in size, we would put in
platform four feet at the other and
then arrange the cows on this platform
according to their size.
A deep drop is very essential if the
COWS are to be kept clean. We always
recommend not less than ten inches
deep. The cows will not back up and
stand in deep drop, while with a
shallow one they are very much in
clined to back into the drop when
thru eating and the stepping back
and forth from the drop to the plat
form keeps it very filthy. Fourteen
inches is none too wide for the drop.
We once tried a twelve inch drop but
found it too narrow From fourteen
to sixteen inches wide by ten inches
deep will hold the accumulations for
necessary where bad storms which
prevent the cleaning of the stable are
of frequent occurrence.
In the above described lean-to we
would have the cows face the main
barn, as we presume that the feed
will be kept in this barn and by this
arrangement the feeding will be more
convenient. BY this plan the stable
may be given an abundance of light
by having it come from the rear of
the cows which is preferable to having
1t come from in front. 1t also makes
the cleaning OF the stable more con-
venient as the litter may be thrown
from doors cut in the side OF the
stable or much better plan is to In
stall little carrier which makes 1t
possible to remove the manure from
the stable and out Of the way with
the least possible labor.

THE BUSINESS FIELD.

With the approach of the holidays
there is more irregularity and huc-
tuation in the state of trade. The late
warm weather narrowed the demand
for winter merchandise. The bad con-
dition of country roads have also re-
tarded the marketing OF agricultural
products, and in some commercial lines
trade fell considerably below expecta-
tons of dealers.
A disturbing factor in the industrial,
situation is the switchmen's strike and
its threatened extension to eastern
roads. Freight is congested at many
western points and railroads in MANY
instances decline to accept shipments
unless subject to unavoidable DELAYS.
In the steel Industry there is normal
slaokening of the volume of orders in
cident to the closing of the wears
business. Production, however, in pig
iron and steel billets still goes on at
nearly record proportions.

ALBIA's FIRST SCHOOL.
TAlbia Union,l

F'iftysix years ago yesterday Hon.
T. B. Perry commenced his first term
of school for Abba in her first school
house, a little frame building about ten
or twenty feet west of where the resi-
dence now occupied by e. c. Arm
strong on Washington avenue east is
located. The house is now the prop
erty of Mrs. Orange Higgins on A av-
enue east and has been used for years
for renting purposes. In those days the
school opened and closed at 5: 80 in the
evening, and the teacher was his own
janitor and all round man. At that
time the present location Of the Union
office was the NJ. E. church property,
and the first church had two front
doors and the men and women sat on
opposite sides of the center aisle that
divided the small room. Fifty one

made member of the state board OF
education.
