lE YOU PLEASE. MR.. RANKIN.

Mr.. Rankin, author and manager of
the state marshals bill, from his eyrie
in the Slavery Hotel at Des Moines
sends out from time to time his OBJ
jections to such plans of law enforce
ment which appeal to the legislature
and to the majority of people who ac-
tually are anxious to have restrictive
laws and have them enforced. Natur-
ally, Mr.. Rankin sees disaster in all
but his own pet project for which he
has lobbied, 10 these many years,
without making any very serious i'm
preston on the legislature and which
has furnished him employment for a
number Of seasons of lecturing up and
down the state,
Mr.. Rankin has a. hobby. He is an
extremely pleasant elderly gentleman
with the gift Of CAB. Perhaps lit would
be more accurate to say that Mr. Ran
kin is an orator for he is all of that.
His persuasive eloquence has filled
miles of petitions with the names of
signers who wrote under his spell and
of whom most forgot about it before
the ink was dry. One may be per-
mitted to surmise that he has found
his work pleasant whether or not it
has been profitable. There is nothing
unpleasant about a. good room at
good hotel and pleasant people ready
to accord courteous treatment to the
temperance worker. Then, too, Mr..
/ Rankin is happiest when he is assist
ing onward a great reform like that
contemplated by his marshals bill He
says many good things stirs many bet
ter impulses. He has helped to bring
about the sentiment that is making the
regulative measures now in progress.
He ought to be satisfied with that. He
ought not to assume that he knows
better than the legislature, the press
and the people of Iowa what they
want in legislation. And he should have
been convinced long ago that they Go
not want his bill as a law. It is also
time he learned that they will not have
it.
Perhaps it would not be out of the
way to hint that Mr.. Rankin misap-
prehends both his influence and the
need of the state. Not to insinuate that
he and his bill are back numbers pos
sibly it would not be discourteous to
let him know that we can struggle
along in Iowa without his guiding hand
upon the helm. He is taking himself
and his petitions too seriously. Nine
out Of every ten persons with .knowl-
edge of the situation among those,who
signed up with him will prefer the
Byers plan. If Mr.. Rankin does not
know this he is self deceived
Now, df Mr.. Rankin will please go
somewhat farther back and sit down
the state will proceed. He has been
performing some very violent knee
actions without getting anywhere, ex-
cept to the Slavery. Will he kindly
permit those who can to run?

To Live In Amity.

A president of the same party as the
overwhelming congressional majority
should certainly be able to live in
amity with the legislators, and It is
not likely that Mr.. Taft's innate pug
naciousness is such as to drive him
into unnatural war. He will not suf-
fer his toes to, be tread upon by the
lawmakers; but, on the other hand, he
will not deliberately offer cause for
offense.-Cleveland Plain Dealer.

Preparing for Spring Work.

On most of our farms this is the be-
ginning of the hardest season of the
year for the farm horse and q little
time spent in preparing him for TINS
season will no doubt prove of great
value If the horse has done little
or no work during the winter, he
should be made accustomed to the hard
work gradually and this can be at
least partially accomplished by driv-
ing or working him occasionally be-
fore the heavy work of the season
starts in. The horse will be in much
better condition for the hard work II
he Is stabbed for Il month or six weeks
previous to the working season and
fed liberal quantity of oats and clean
hay His feet should be cleaned out
carefully and the hoofs trimmed to
the proper length. If a portion of his
work is to be done in slippery places
1t would be good plan to have at
least the front feet shol during the
early spring. Spring work is also pro-
ductive of sore shoulders and necks.
These can be prevented to large eX-
tent by cleaning the collars and OIL
ing them so as to have them in a pill
able condition. 1t must also be re-
membered that large number of the
troubles of this kind result from wear
ing poorly fitted collars. Every horse
should have a collar that fits properly
and should be compelled to work with
no other When looking over the col
lars it is pretty good time to oil up
the rest of the harness. This will not
only add to the comfort of the horse
but also to the lifetime OF the harness
itself. If the horse starts the spring
work at least partially hardened and
in good flesh, there is NO reason why
he should be worked down poor IN
few weeks, which condition so often
prevails on the farm,

One of the interesting developments
of the discussion of the proposal to
put lumber on the free list is the ar
gument of the lumber concerns; that
the business is not altogether con-
trolled by gigantic corporations, and
that there are many little independent
mills that will be seriously handicapped
or put out of business by the reduction
of the tariff. Most of these little mills
cater to a local trade, usually con-
sumers of hard wood lumber, and
the freight rates from Canada will
afford them protection even without a
duty. Il. u

Don't Let the Ewes Crowd.

More than one lamb is born pre-
maturely or born dead in the average
flock every year, as result or the
ewes being crowded or squeezed at
some time during their later stages Of
pregnancy. A great deal Of careless
ness abou this matter prevails among
farmers. Most of them do not seem
to realize that it not alone may injure
the eve, but seriously injuries her UNI
born lamb, if she gets caught in a
tight place and squeezed.
The common practice is to turn a
great many pregnant ewes in together,
often in very small quarters. When
they become frightened, they are al
most bound to pile up, ard some eve
or other is going ITO get pinched. A
long, narroy barn. which permits the
sheep to get a long run, is particular
1y bad in this respect. 1t is better
not to keep too many ewes together,
and to give such as are together plen-
ty of room, tho in barn so ar
ranged that they can get out easily
or at least can not get a long run,
which results in a general pife-up,
Drive into the yard with a load of
feed when the barn door is OPEN The
sheep spy it, and out they all try to
rush in a hurry. The result is that
they jamb up in the dooc, and some
of them get hurt. If they do not lose
their lamb right away, it is likely in
any event to be born dead 1t is a
great deal more sensible to keep the
door shut until the feed is placed.
then stand in the door as the sheep
pass out, thus avoiding their crowding.
Too great care can not be given to
keeping the pregnant ewes from be-
ing injured at all times and in all
places. 1t may seem like small mat
ter, yet it has wrought havoc in more
hocks than one. Whether the eve
has lamb or not, her keep has to
be paid for. Her wool will perhaps
cover this expense, but where is the
profit on the investment and labor?
Better take every precaution possible
to insure a full-sized, rugged lamb
crop.

Scours.


If we were asked to name the most
common ailment among small pigs,
our answer would have to be "scours."
BY scours in pigs is meant almost
any arrangement of the bowels which
causes the eXcretion to he of a watery
and oftimes Of a mucus nature. There
are various forms of this disease, but
they all have about the same result,
namely, a stunning of the growth in
the young pigs and general falling off
of the pigs if, not properly attended
to.
While the causes of scours in young
pigs are numerous, at the same time
this ailment can be prevented by
little care with both the dam and her
litter. 1t must be remembered that
the digestive system of the small pig
is very delicate and quickly susceptible
to arrangement by sudden changes in
the feed or from food that has been
allowed to sour or decay. Not only are
the young pigs directly susceptible to
such foods but when they are fed to
the sow that is nursing IL litter, of
pigs the bad effects are equally promi-
nent One of the first precautions to
be observed in the prevention of
scours is that of not overlooking the
SOW at narrowing time or Immediately
thereafter If nature is allowed to
take its course and the sow allowed
to farrow in the timber or some other
quiet spot, it will be observed that she
will not return to the feed trough
for at least three days after the
young litter has arrived. Where the
sow farrows indoors, about all she
needs for at least "a hours after fer
rowing is a little drinking water from
which the chill has been removed At
ter this her feed may be Increased
gradually, but she should not be fed
heavily until the litter has reached
three or four weeks of age.
One very frequent cause of scours
in the young pigs is the feeding of
house slop to the dam. In many cases
there will be found in the slop pail,
sour foods of some sort, decayed fruit,
and many other substances which
