LACK OF LEADERSHIP

The Iowa legislature is about to close
with little or nothing done. It can
claim credit for not doing some of the
things that were proposed but this
kind OF credit would have been due
had the members stayed at home. The
trouble has been entirely in the lack
of able leadership. When Cummins
was governor his leadership was felt
in the legislature. His messages rang
true with recommendations for laws
which We're right and his personal in
auence was strong enough to attract
friends who forced the executives sug-
gestions into enactment.
At Des MONIES this winter the legis-
laJure itself has been good one, its
members have been acuated by de-
sire TO do the right thing but each and
every member has had an individual
notion as TO what should be done. The
result has been that most good sug-
gestions as we'll as the bad ones have
fallen out by the process of cancella-
ton
The present governor has failed to
grasp the public needs in large way
and lead to enactment of broad legis-
lation by the strength Of his personal
character. He has taken up with mat
+ tiers OF small dereliction and matters of
comparatively small moment. Men
in the senate, who enjoy his confidence,
have spent much valuable time ham
mering at the good name of republican
officials who happened to have pre-
ferred the nomination of the present
!! governors opponent. If this has beer
done without the governors consent OF
approval he should sever the close re-
lations he has with these men in order
that they might not seem to represent
him when they speak or he should in
sist that they stop their carping and
go 10 work for the good of the state
What this legislature has needed ha;
4 been more clearly defined program
with some strong leader behind it.

" N order that the feeds fed to stock
advantage it is necessary that
they should be of the proper
kinds and fed in the proper amounts.
One Of the important things to take
into account in determining the value
Of feeding stuff is its digestlbility.
Some feeds, such as oat straw, are not
more than 80 per cent digestible, while
in the case Of the corn grain over 80
per cent is used by the animal. Feeds
with high percentage of digestibility,
like the grains. are called concentrates,
while those with large amount Of in
digestible crude fiber are called rough
feeds.
Every Animal must have a certain
amount of roughage; otherwise the
grain would lie in the stomach in a
heavy, sodden mass, which could hard
ly be penetrated by the digestive
juices, and indigestion would be sure
to result. The crude fiber, while in
digesible in itself, dilutes the more
concentrated feeds and greatly hastens
the process of digestion. The rnmi.
nants are able to obtain large share
Of their feed from roughage. Horses
use considerable, though owing to
their smaller stomach they cannot use
as large quantities as cattle do. Swine
are usually regarded as grain eating
animals, yet they, too, do better for
having some roughage. Mature hogs
will maintain themselves on a good
rape or clover pasture without any
grain at all, and fattening swine will
make greater gain if fed on pasture.

A lack Of ash is the chief fault that
can be found with the corn byprod-
ucts, such as germ oil meal and gluten
feed. For this reason these feeds are
not SO valuable for milk cows and
young stock, although they are all
right for fattening animals. Oil and
cottonseed meals contain more ash
than the corn products, but not SO
much S tankage. They are usually
a cheap source of protein. Oilmeal is
especially valuable for keeping the
system in tone, the bowels loose and
the coat sleek and glossy Cottonseed
meal should never be fed to hogs, as
they often die from eating it.
There is nothing better than clover
pasture to balance the ration Of fat
tening swine. Clover pasture, with
perhaps a small allowance of grain, is
an ideal feed for milk cows, calves
and colts. The little pigs will learn to

eat it also, but will need considerable
grain and skimmilk in addition If
they are to make rapid gains. Clover
hay and corn is ration for fattening
cattle and sheep that cannot be beat
en-. Glover hay and silage with lit
tie corn and oilmeal added is a first
class winter feed for dairy cattle.
Even for horses clover hay, If not
dusty, is the best Of roughage. Its
liberal use for all classes of stock
will reduce the cost Of feeding and
add to the profits. So It is evident that
! the wise farmer win not neglect to
provide clover nastrre THAT Is annie.

STATE DOCTORS LICENSES.
[Oelwein Register.1

lOelWeln Register
1t is learned that recently the court
has decided that the state medical sx
aminers exceeded their authority in re-
fusing to issue state itinerant license
to DR.. Shallenburger after he had de-
posted the required fee, and the license
is granted. To man up a tree or on
an elevated section of land it would
seem that when travelling physician
puts up the money for a license it
should be granted, and not left in the
air for six months to the detriment of
the man who put it up. If the state
board of medical examiners keep up
the present gait it will begin to look
as tho Charley Miller's doctors trust"
is not all in his eye. The people favor
a square deal as far as physicians and
those not in the union are concerned.

THE JUNK1N TRIAL.

attracted state wide attention Ottum

Quoting a murder trial which may at
tract national attention-and atten-
ton of an unwelcome nature-unless
the trial is permitted to proceed Who'll
ly without demonstration. To place
Junkin under guard OF the militia dur
ing his trial would be to openly con-
fess that Ottumwa is lawless com.
munity. There should not be the slight

shameful light. It Is the overwhelm.

ing the trial and until the sentence Of
the court is carried out.
If the officials feel that this can
not be done then they should not resist
a move for a change of venue to some
other county in the district where a
proper guard could be provided with
out the aid of the militia.
But 1t can be done There IS no mob
sentiment in Ottumwa, and no such
sentiment will be aroused unless it is
by the needless presence of armed sold
iers during the trial.

Jefferson county is getting lots Of
free advertising over the prizes she Of
fered for dragging, just as she
got many miles of good roads at small
cost. There are few counties in Iowa
where the drag is used as much as in
Jefferson, and there are few counties
which have as good dirt highways as
Jefferson. Everybody says that who
has had opportunity for observation.
And that is all the greater reason why
our people should use the drag still
more.
