With no purpose to disparage alfalfa
it may be said that Iowa has in its
feed that exceeds the southern grass
in yield, and, acre for acre, equals it in
feeding value. And nine-tenths Of it
is wasted. The stalks are left stand

The stalks yield an average Of ten

A FIGHTING LOBSTER.
Difficulties In Planting Him on tho
Canadian Pacific Coast.

Difficulties In Planting Him on tho
Canadian Pacific Coast.
According to Consul General David
r. WILDER of Halifax, the Canadian gov
eminent is having lot Of trouble In
trying to propagate the Nova Scotia
lobster on the Pacific coast. The trou
bic is due to the pugnacious nature of
the lobster, who, lobster though he is,
insists on fighting at the drop Of the
hat, so to speak.
1t is nm interesting story Consul Gen
erai WILDER tells, and it bears no ear
marks Of nature fake. He says a
consignment of 1000 live Holsters left
Halifax for Vancouver the first week
IN May. They were shipped by the
marine and fisheries department for
the purpose of propagating the lobster
on the Pacific coast. Mr.. WILDER says
an attempt was made last year to ship
Holsters west. "but owing to their pug
nacious tendencies they arrived at
their destination in a mangled condi-
ton"
1t appears later attempt was made,
plugs being placed between the claws
to prevent disastrous fighting. The
plugs were not removed when the lob
sters were planted in the Pacific wa
tiers, and consequently the second at
tempt also proved failure.
In making the third and last ship
ment every precaution has been taken
by the authorities. The several dozen
crates were placed in special baggage
car in charge Of two men. Each crate
is filled with several compartments,
each of which will accommodate one
large lobster. Salt water, ice and sea-
weed were placed in the crates. the
top of each crate being fitted with an
ice pack and a percolating salt water
tank. Where two small Holsters were
packed into one berth they were so
placed that they could not bite each
1ther.
The lobster industry has never Hour
ished on the Pacific as In the Halifax
region. and strong effort is being
made to put 1t on Arm foundation.

The selection of Charles R. Crane
Of Chicago as minister to China,
which was recently announced by
President Taft. is the result Of a
search extending over five months
When Mr. Cranes qualifications were
known, together with the fact that
he would accept. the consideration Of
all others was dropped. and even the
president sunk personal ccnsidera-
lions. Four members of the cabinet
know Mr.. Crane personally. and all
vouched for him. 1t is understood
that Mr.. Crane is prepared to go to
China with very little delay.
Happily Mr. Crane embodies all the
qualifications which President Taft
conceived necessary for his minister
to China, in view Of the new policy
adopted with reference to that coun-
try. BE is a man OF liberal educa-
ton, of great business ability. OF high
patriotic inclinations and personal &C.

Mr.. Crane knows Russia very we'll,

expedition which went into Samar-
kand and Bokhara. He is very well
known in Europe and classes as his

IS Tt TRUE?

[Des Moines Register and Leader.]
The Congressional Record has just
come TO hand bearing a rather be-
lated report OF the Anal speech OF
Stephen B. Elkins Of West Virginia,
on the completed tariff bill.
We realize that the time has
passed when an excited interest can
be. aroused over what was or was not
done in the conference committee,

fishing one sentence from this speech

fortunes; nothing cheaper to tho con-
sumner and all for the manufactures"
OF course, the only purpose Of
dragging out this paragraph at this
time is to point an index finger at
the closing sentence. where the east
ern manufacturer is pictured as will
ing to sacrifice the whole country
for increased profits. and to suggest
that this picture is not drawn by
Senator Cummins or Senator La Fol-
lette.
Does Senator Elkins do Justice to
the eastern manufacturer? If he
does not, why should not Senator
Elkins be rolndly denounced as a
democrat and disturber? Are SLAM
derous words like these to be- passed
over without comment?
