old girls lay dead at the bottom OF the

We are utterly careless in our pleas
ures. We take chances seeking them
that under other circumstances would
be considered suicidal. Here was this
Humboldt picnic party, loading down a
hayrack with forty-f1ve children. know
ing the dangerous road and the in
efficiency OF common wagon brakes
and that no team could hold back the
load: there was the Burlington pleas
ure party crowding launch to a dan
gerous overload and tying up to a
barge covered with fireworks and ex-
plosives. Careless, utterly careless,
perhaps criminally so.
Do fun and foolishness go together?
It>would seem SO. We refuse to let a
boy look at a gun or go swimming in
deep water and turn him loose one day
in the year with enough dynamite to
blow up city block. We set the
children free along the riverside at q
Sunday school picnic and trust the
laws of chance that none will fall in
and drown. We overload excursion
steamers. We race forty miles an hour
thru the streets on Joy rides. We pile
into ancient an dantiauated railroad
coaches and complain of slow time on
crowded trips of pleasure. Does the
anticipation Of pleasure paralyze COM
mon sense?
No doubt the promoters of the picnic
and the driver to whom the children
were entrusted are wild with grief and
unavailing sorrow. So is the boatman
who took chance that his fares might
see the carnival to the best advantage
But that doesn't count now. What
counts is common precaution and COM
mon sense. And when we go pleas
uring we appear to leave both behind.

CAR CRowDING.

The Register and Leader calls atten-
ton OF the railroad companies to the
IRIS suggestion that many more
persons would attend the state fair
were it not for the certainty that they
would be overcrowded into dirty cars
and suggests that these conditions
might be remedied or amelorated.
Both the complaint and the suggestion
small boy who, from the roadside,
waves his hat at the fast mail.
1t is true enough that the carrying
capacity of the railroads Is overtaxed
during state fair week and that people
expect and excuse much crowding. But
were the roads supplied with equip
ment to carry the crowds comfortably,
it seems entirely unlikely that they
would do it. The desire seems to be
to carry as many people as can crowd
on, get the money, and forget that
those who pay full fare have a right
to be reasonably comfortable.
The K Of P. grand lodge meeting at
Sioux City furnishes an instance. From
a half dozen directions the Northwest
ern brought delegates to the state
meetings of the K. of P. and the Py-
THAN Sisters together at junction
point 1t knew they were coming.
However, no extra accomm odations
were afforded. The seats were filled in
the dusty, stuffy old coaches and then
the aisies fiiIed up. Men stood for the
last 100 miles of the trip in some of
the coaches. 1t was not because the
C. & NV. did not have an extra
coach or two. II seemed to prefer get
ting the money.
OF course every one forgot It; at any
rate no one complained to the commits
sion Perhaps it would have done no
good to complain. At any rate it was
TOO late TO complain for that trip. The
railroad got full fare and herded the
men and women it carried like hogs
without the slightest occasion for so
doing except that 1t was more profit
able.
All these occurrences are aggravat-
ing, while they endure. BUT are they
always to endure?

August Rain.

August Rain.
The fields had long been brown and
dry,
The birds had sadly ceased to sing:
No cloud ships sailed across the sky,
The whole parched world was with
ering.
Then came the welcome August rain.
The thunder's roar the lightning's
gleam;
The water dashed against the pane,
The road became gushing stream,
Today the meadows all are green,
A gleam is on the fluttering leaves:
The road where dust lay thick is
clean,
Blithe swallows chatter meath the
caves.
Thus after hopelessness has made
Life seem a waste, like August rain
Hopes comes to brighten croft and
glade
And fill the world with cheer again.

Early PIowins


There is no exaggerasfon in the old
saying that one acre plowed in Aug
ust is worth two plowed in November.
While this saying might not be en-
tirely true in some soils and some
climates. yet in the stiff, obstinate
soils that are so general in the north
west, and where we must contend with
the weed pests, August and early Sep
TENDER blowing is almost equal to
summer fallowing In the central and
southern states, where the ground is
not frozen during the winter, there Is
no advantage in this early blowing,
but in the nerth, where the ground is
frost-7ocked for four or FIVE months,
this early blowing is necessary that
the soil may have sufficient time dur
ing the autumn in which to pulverize,
slack and air out, that is, go thru
the chemical process Of liberatinT
plant food; then too, August and Sep
temter is the time at which most
every weed has reached its lowest
stage Of resistance. 1t Is at this time
they can least Withstand their tops
being turned under and their roots
up to the sun; and it Is blowing at
this time of the year that turns under
the weed seeds and the wam days
and rains that follow terminate them
to throw up shoots to be destroyed by
the frosts which will follow before
they can produce another crop of seed.
Ground plowed early in the fan Stacks
and pulverizes to form a dust mulch
that holds more moisture thru the
winter than ground that is plowed just
before it freezes. The early plowed
ground has time to become firm and
compact and consequently makes a
better seed bed than the late or spring
plowed ground that is loose and lumpy
and which requires a great deal more

Fall Feeding Of Turkev..


early autumn. they are quite likely to
be overfed unless care is taken to
prevent. In some instances very sue
cessful poultry raisers allow the flock
to pick up practically its entire living
in the fields, around the barns and
sometimes from the feed troughs of
the chickens. In such cases the tur-
keys usually get sufficient food and
are never overfat because the constant
hustling for more keeps them in con-
dition to digest thoroughly all the
nourishment they consume. This con-
slant exercise is very natural to the
turkey, which has not yet let go Its
hold OF its wild instincts in spite of
many years Of demonstration.
To feed the flock heavy ration in
the morning is to overload its crop at
the Very time when it ought to remain
nearly empty and take away from the
individuals the desire to roam thru the
fieids in search Of the toothsome
grasshopper and stray bits of seed or
grain. OF course it will not do to al
low the turkeys to go to roost at night
with crops empty. or only partly full,
any more than 1t will to overload them
with food in the morning. The best
way to do is to allow the birds to find
what they can by foraging during the
day and then feed at night sufficient
hard grain, like corn, wheat and oats,
to give them comparatively full crops
at roostinS time. When possible to
prevent it. they should not be allowed
to eat with the chickens or hens and
that makes it necessary to feed the
smaller fowls in yards in the morn.

It. doesn't look we'll to see the young
colt following the mare up and down
the field while she is working; neither
as 1T good for the colt as soon as it be-
comes necessary to work the mare
after foaHng time. The colt should be
trained to stay in the barn and take
his meals at regular hours When fol-
lowing the mare outside the colt is not
apt to grow as fast as he should, and
work.
1t will be found good plan to try
the mare regularly with the stallion If
you are to be sure that she is to pro-
duce a colt next year. Carelessnsss
in this matter is apt to cause her to
not be in foal at the end of the season,
or at least have her produce very
late colt A little attention given to
this matter viii prove to be time valu-
ably spent.
There are probably men enough IN
this country raising horses. but there
are not enough men who raise good
ones. It has frequently been the case
that the farmer would keep for his
brood mares those that were hard to
sell. By taking these mares Of medi-
UNI quality and crossing them with
poor stations. there is little wonder
that the common classes Of horses are
the most plentiful upon our markets.
IL don't cost any more to keep good
horse than it does poor one.

Calf seanehions.

IT Is next to Impossible to raise
thrifty bunch Of calves without some
device to keep them from robbing one
another at feeding time Some calves
drink much faster than others, so that
when led from one common tub or
trough some will get much more than
they can assimilate, while others will
not get half as much as they require.
One OF the most practical arrange
ments for this purpose is stanchions
made Of four inch fencing. The
spaces between the stanchions should
be boarded up to prevent the calves
from getting their heads thru in any
but tho right place. and the stancilions
should be 30 adjusted that when open
no more than one calf can get his
head thru each space.
In front Of this row Of stanchions
long trough can be placed with parti-
tions to make a separate drinking
place for each calf These partitions
can be made by mailing a board into
the trough endwise and allowing 1t to
extend at least one and half feet
above the trough, which will prevent
the calves from getting at one an
others feed and also renders it nm
possible to get at one another's ears.
With such device bunch of twenty
calves can be fed in ten minutes and
each calf can be given a measured al
lowance.
AS soon as they get thru drinking
their grain should be given them in
the same trough. This trough should
not be fastened to the stanchions but
should be made separate, which will
enable one to give it good rinsing,
and tip 1t over to drain after scrub
bling.

Milk Richness Not From Feed.

An increase in the richness of a
cows feed does not make the milk
richer. If it were possible to change
the test OF milk by feeding the COWS,
we would then be able to make all the
COWS giving thin milk produce cream,
or change Holstein into a Jersey in
so far as the richness Of the milk is
concerned. Increasing the feed Of q
dairy COW has a tendency to increase
the pounds OF milk she will give, but
milk is Of the richness characteristic
to that COW. Experiments have shown
that the natural richness Of cows
milk is inherited, or is an individual
popularity the same as the color Of her
hair, and feeding does not change It.
These statements apply to cows under
normal condition OF health and rea-
sonable treatment. A fair test Of the
milk given by herd Of cows may
vary for 3.5 to per cent fat This, Of
course, will change according to the
period OF lactation of the cows, the
milk Of fresh COWS S. not usually 50
rich as that OF shippers. 1t will pay

SUGAR TRUST EMPLOYEES
DISAPPEAR FROM TRIAL.
Men Wanted as Witnesses Can't
Be Found.

NEW YORK, Dec. 2.-On top Of the
mass OF detailed evidence already pre-
scented in an effort to convict six for
mel employees Of the American Sugar
Refining Company Of underweighing
frauds, the government today offered
further testimony of alleged crooked
work on the Williamsburg sugar docks.
At the best. the case Is expected to
take two weeks to try, but Judge Mar
tin is evidencing every disposition to
hurry the proceedings as much as pos
sible. The court consistently frowns
upon she tactics that kill time, and to.
day announced that longer sessions
would be held.
Testimony in today's session dis
closed that the prosecution Is ham
pered by missing witnesses. Two EN-
ployees of the Federal district-at-
torney's Office who have been work
ing in the sugar investigation testi-
fed that they had found 1t impossible
