SANQ-IIME BRICK.

The sand-lime brick industry is a
comparatively new one in the United
States, having had its beginning in
gress was slow at first, the value OF
the production in 1903 being only
$155,040. From that time the value
increased each year until 1907, when
the maximum OF $1,225,769 was reach
ed. In common with other building
materials there was a decrease in
1908 in the production OF sand-lime
brick to $751; The number of
plants reporting made rapid growth
from 16 in 1903 to "a in 1907, with a
slight decrease in 1908 Ito 81.
Common, front, and fancy brick were
manufactured from sand and lime in
1908. The average price per thous-
and for common brick was $3.50, as
against 1851 in 1907 and $6.71 in
1906; for front brick the price was
$12.16, against $1O.96 in 1907 and
$10.42 in 1906. In 1908 common brick
composed 1857 per cent of the value
of all bricks and front brick 1887 per
cent.
Thirty states reported both in 1907
and 1908, Alabama dropping out of
the list in 1908 and Montana appear
ing. OF the individual states Mich
gan, as in 1907, was THE leading
state in 1908, reporting bricks valued
at $1S3,S09. Florida was second in
both years.

MODERN sILo CONSTRUCTION.

During the summer of 1908 a bulle-
tin on the above subject was publish
ed by the Agricultural Experiment
Station. The demand for this bulle.
tin was so great that the supply was
exhausted within three months after
it was received from the printer. In
order to supply the requests which
have been coming in ever since, a re-
vised edition has been printed. This
contains practically the same mater
ial as was given in the first edition,
with the addition of a few notes
which were necessary in order to
bring the discussion up to date. The
most important addition is a descrip-
ton of the first years experience with
the new tile silO which was erected at
the Station last summer.
Any farmer who intends to erect a
silo will find Bulletin No. 100, Mod
ern SilO Construction" a very valu-
able help in deciding on the type and
size OF silo to build. A great many
practical hints on the details of con-
structiOn are also given. Copies of
the revised edition of this bulletin
can be obtained free by applying to

The democrats to power temporarily.
Had it not been for that mischance,
Cleveland would have been defeated
chaG year, ne would not have been
thought of for subsequent nominal
zion and the republicans might have
had an unbroken stretch of power
from Lincoln's day to the present.
Nobody who writes the political his
tory of the past third of century
can omit mentioning the prohibition
party. When it made its advent,
Grant had just entered the presiden-
cy. 1t has been here through all the
social and political mutations since
that time. Ut will probably remain
for several presidential campaigns
more. Prohibition has made many
in the past ten or twelve
years. It has captured half a dozen
Southern states, and is likely to con-
troll more of them. The political pro-
however, have had very
little nand in winning the triumphs
which have been scored against intoX-
icants. Nevertheless the party has
helped to make some history and is
to recognition.

a RACE WITH POVERTY.

The love of James Amber, farmer
residing near Loyilia, Ia, for Nettie
Amber, a pretty orphan girl he had
raised from childhood, prevented her
body from being buried in a potter's
field in Glendale cemetery at Des
Moines last week. She died of typhoid
fever at Mercy hospital, and, her hus-
was ordered conducted at the countys
expense and interment made in the
pOtter's field. The service had pro-
ceeded almost to the end wnen Amber,
who had been notified by telephone,
arrived on the scene and took charge.
The body was taken from the grave
few minutes after attendants had
lowered the casket, clothed in a new
and more beautiful death shroud,
gently laid in a handsome coffin and
taken to Loyilia, where it was buried
in the family lot.
A modest tombstone Will mark the
grave concentrating a wOman's SAD
death in poverty and the love OF a
man for the poor girl he had raised
from childhood
Amber is prosperous farmer and
years ago the little girl came into the
life Of himself and wife from an or
phans home. No one knew her name
or parents, but she was given good
care and when she was married at IT
was started with a well furnished
home by her friend and benefactor.
Later she went to Missouri. but sep
arated from her first husband who.
kept the child and went to Minneapo-
lis. There she met John Orr and
Amber again came to her aid and fur
nished her with money to secure a
divorce from her first husband. She.
married Orr and they lived together
and had one child. They went to-
Des Moines and were living on De6
MOines street in poverty when she
was attacked by typhoid fever, and
taken to Mercy hospital, wnere she
died

The PROHIBITION PARTY.

st. Louis Globe-Democrat: The pro-
Inhibition party has just celebrated the
fOrtieUh anniversary OF it's creation
in Chicago. Founded in 1863, in a
convention held in that city, the pro
hibftion party placed a national ticket
in the field in 1872, and has partici-
pated in every presidential campaign
since then. Thus it has had a longer
life than any other two or three of the
minor parties combined. 1t has TAX
en- part in more national canvasses
than did the federalist party of Wash
ington. Adams, Hamilton and Jay, or
the whig party Of Clay, Webster, Crit
tenden and Bell. It is within fifteen
years of being as old as the republi.
can party.
The country ought to be interested
in this pfohfbitionist celebration.
That party mas never won an electoral
vote. 1t has sent no candidate to con.
gress. Moreover. the vote for Chain.
its presidential nominee in 1908. was
not as large as That which was given
70 FIX in 1888, or to several of its
nominees since then. Nor Is there
any indication that ahe vote will be
larger in 1912 than 1T was in 1908,
when it fell OFF from the total of sew.
eral preceding years. Yet the party
has had some influence in national
politics. The vote which it gave in
New York 70 st. John, its presidential
OF 1884, defeated Blaine and
cent Cleveland to the White House.
TO this accident Is due the return of

In support OF this statement ! want
to quote the following;
Il am not here to criticise those
who felt so strongly and believed so
intensely. that 1t was their dEty to
vote against the tariff bin because II
did not contain all they Thought it
should. 1t was a question for each
man to settle for himself" And
again, Il am glad to see that those
who voted against the bill still insist
that they are republicans and that
they intend to keep up the fight for
still lower tariff rates Within the par
ty. That is their right and in their
view of things 1T is their duty"
Mr.. Kendall is classed among those
who voted against the measure and
we note he is criticised for doing what
the president says in their way of
thinking is their duty. 1t has been
to the writer for number
of years that when some people can't
ride they want to pull out the Inch
pin and stop some other fellow from
riding. Our stand-pat friends during
the campaign agreed along the lines
let well enough alone" inaSmuch as
our state had prospered under the
Dingley law. No one will deny that
Kendall adhered to this policy and
voted against the present tariff bill
on the grounds advocated by our
friends, let we'll enough
alone" In conclusion | only want to
say that | hope all our own critics
may be as charitable as President
Taft was concerning the congressman
who voted against the tariff bill.

IOWA LAND VALUES.

The possibilities of the soiI1of Iowa
as an asset are a subject OF never
ending speculation, says the Marshall
towQ Times-Republican. In the up
ward trend of values where VIII the
end be found? The Vinton Eagle tells
0; the sale of a farm near that town
few days ago at the price or $l6C
an acre. Two years ago a farm OF
about the same quality in the same
vicinity sold for $3.50 an acre. A little
later sale was made at SAB an acre,
and now comes the $160-an-acre trans
action.
There is no boom or speculative
price involved in any of these sales,
says tte Eagle. 1T is a natural in
crease in price coming with the de-
mand for good farms. The buyers do
not stop to speculate as to per cents
They want the land and are willing to
pay the price that will induce the
holder to let CO."
To the man who looks for land in a
newer region for investment it is said
that he would better buy, Iowa land.
The increase per acre here, he is told
will be greater than in the undevelop-
ed regions during the next few years.
Ordinarily, this might be answered by
in value per acre here might be more,
the return on capital invested would
likely not be, since, If one were to buy
Iowa land at 500 an acre and CoIora-
dc land for $40 and presently be able
to sell for $40 in one case and $40
in the other, he would get like in
crease per acre in both cases, but
would only reap profit of 10 per cent
in Iowa, while he would double his
money in Colorado. In such cases as
that cited from Vinton, however, with
an increase from s12O to $3.50 an
acre in two years, it would look as If
this and the greater securities OIL the
land in this state should turn the
scale in favor of the Iowa investment.

At THE COUNTY FARM
State Inspector Spends Day With
Board of Supervisors.

State Inspector Corwin, represent
ing the board of control, made his an
nual visit to the Mahaska county poor
farm Tuesday in company with the
board of supervisors. The party went
out in Chairman w. f. McWay's auto
mobile and spent all the afternoon at
the farm. The inspector spared no
pains in conducting his examination
OF all the details of the institution. He
not only took an invoice of everything
on the place, but secured statement
OF what kind of meals are served the
inmates, took an itemized account of
the products of the farm, inspected all
rooms in the buildings, felt and
smelled of the bedding, and tested the
bath room apparatus. He found ev-
erything in satisfactory condition, but
made some recommendations as to
the keeping OF the institution.
In consequence OF the loss OF time
spent at the county home, the board
OF supervisors could not complete
their work yesterday and they are to-
day engaged in considering claims
and going over the transcripts from
the justices of the peace. They ex-
pect, however, to adjourn tonight.

MOVING PICTURES.

Department is simply entering the
field because faT-sighted Uncle "Tama
Jim" Wilson, Secretary of Agric IL

home to the farmers of the country
the necessity for modern methods IN
agriculture.
1t has always been hard to ma <"
the farmers of the country understand
from mere description how to han4le
their crops in this new era OF agrIcuI-
ture. The average man on the farm
doesn't take kindly to advice he hears
or reads-he wants visual proof OF
the soundness of things. He sticks
to the old ways until he actually sees
the advantage of the new.
1t is for this reason that the De-

experiment stations throughout the
country showing the new order ~
things in the way of preparing the
land, planting, cultiVating, harvest

make roads how to breed cattle, hors-
es, sheep and farm animals, and the
thousand and one tasks that occupy
farmers. BY exhibiting these films
at popular meetings of farmers all
over the country, the Department |
hopes to give them actual, visual. con- 1
vincing proof that the old order
changeth, giving place to- new, and
that the new agriculture means bet I

and better animals.
A cooperative arrangement is now
in formation, whereby the Depart
