DAT SPECIAL ARRANGED.

Four railroad companies in Iowa
have consented to run oat specials
on their lines through the state. They
are the Chicago,M ilwaukee & st.
Paul, Illinois Central, Rock Island.
and the Short Line. The first three
,ads will run their special trains the
first two OF three weeks in March.
schedules have not as yet been fix
81, butw i'll be soon. These trains
will be operated without expense to
-he State or to the Agricultural col.
lege, from where they are to be sent
out. The companies hope to receive
in return an increased movement in
grain if the educational campaign is
a success. The oat crop of Iowa last
year was about 1000, 900 bushels. 1t
averaged about "a bushels to the
acre. Authorities believe it should
have averaged 40 bushels to the &C.
re, and the entire crop doubled. The
seed oats specials will be run on
the same plan as the seed corn spe
Gals which were sent through the
state several years ago. Professors
Holden, Bowman, Grossly and Others
from agriculture college will have
fcharge of the trains.

Organize Cow Testing Association.

Jos. Hutchinson. treasurer of the
Manchester Short Course, is in re-
ceipt of letter from H. G. Horne
man, member of the faculty of the
Iowa State college at Ames, of which
the following is copy: II have just
succeeded in organizing COW test
ing association at State Center and
wish to organize such an association
at the coming Manchester Short
Course. 1 trust you will attend and
be ready to take up this work of
grading up your dairy herd by weed
ing out the improbable cows"
To the experienced dairyman, a
letter of this character needs no ex-
PLANTATION. Such class or organiza-
ton would be of great benefit to
the farmers who own herds of cat
tie, and the coming short course will
give opportunity to every stockman
in northeastern Iowa to become a
member Of such an association.

COLLEGE CHAIRS IN AeRIcuL.
TIDE

The Telegraph-He Herald comments
editorially upon the views of two
well known men of this vicinity:
Senator Newberry's plan for chairs
of agriculture at state expense in
Iowa colleges accredited to the Uni
versity of Iowa is criticised by Henry
Brayton, president of the Northeast
crn Iowa Short Course, as not 60
ing far enough. Senator Newberry's
purpose is to educate in the collegeS
competent instructors in the science
of agriculture, and in this way to
assist in the industry
Mir. Brayton's contention is that 80
per cent. of those who have been sent
away from the farms to be educated
have never returned to the farms.
Not to exceed ! per cent of the
young people on the farms ever go
to college, and the 50 per cent. shut
out from the advantage are the very
ones whom the state should reach.
Mr.. Rrayton asserts that the need
for agricultural teaching is in rural
schools and agricultural high schools
!, reaching down in grade to he/com-
| mon schools. Eve must take agri-
cultural knowledge and demonstra-
ton out amongst the people to be
\ benefited-the farmers themselves.
It will be vastly profitable to the
state that thfs knowledge shall in
some way reach out into the country,
wheye the people live who alone can
be6fn it into both wealth and happi-
ness Each person who attends short
courses or other places of agricultur.
A al teaching takes home a leaven that
l leavens the whole loaf in this com.
| munity and SO we see the desire for
this knowledge spreading rapidly. Out
Of the little already delivered direct
to the people by the extension de
partment of our agricultural college
principally has come thirst for this
r knowledge which is now clamorine
3 for its teaching in every rural school
in Iowa and for the bridging of the
dangerous gap between the rura
schools and Ames."
No doubt Senator Newberry shares
Mr.. Brayton's desire to benefit the
80 per cent. directly. But the sena
!, tor recognizes obstacles at presen
linsurmountable which Mr.. Braytol
evidently considers not of serious &C
count. The effort of educators is tt
; secure proper rural schools, and il
y time rural high schools. But befor,
Y these can come the roads must b.
. Improved, certain reforms instituted
and a better grade of teachers be sc
cured. While these ends are beinl
served the state collegs will have in
structed thousands of young mel
!. qualified to go into rural high schools
I and township schools and teach TIN
81 science Of agriculture

MAXIM AND HIS. NolsELEss
DEATH
pEATH.
lFrom the chicago examiner. J

If i5- NFTOlH tue SnlchSO Elk 1LlllneT.b
Mr.. Maxim. has given another dem
onstration of Ibis inventive ability
He has exhibited gun, the dis
charge of which makes no greater
noise than the pop of soda bottle
cork. aq>.
This cannot be said to rob war of
any Of it's terrors, though it may be
true that sit isspleasanter to die a
noiseless death than to pass away
amid a horrible din of musketry and
cannon.
In truth, with smokeless powder
and noiseless bullets, the defenders
or the enemy can tumble one another
over with precision and without any
of those annoying Inconvenience of
preliminary fear, which always have
made war terrible, even to the hard
ened soldier.
To the promoter and lover Of peace.
Ianything that adds to wars horrors
is always acceptable. Nothing is SO
ASSURING oI perpetual peuce as Une
knowledge that war means certain
death, where slaughter cannot be es-
timated and where the percentage
of chance of the soldiers escape is
nothing.
War will stop only when nobody
can be persuaded to go to war ex-
cept as seemingly patriotic way of
committing suicide. And these gen
tlemen, with their smokeless powder
and noiseless bullets and other de-
vices for sure death, are Fastening
that suspicious day. Appreciative
members of the National Peace So
ciety should honor Mr.. Maxim.

Contrary to expectation, President
Roosevelts Lincoln Day Speech was
exceedingly moderate and common
place. Roosevelt found himself un
able to enthusiastically eulogize :
man like Lincoln, who administered
this country's greatest office, during
the country's time of greatest danger
with malice toward none and charity
for ALL" In saying this we 90 not
want to be understood as speaking
disparingly of Roosevelt. His views
and his ideals are radically different
from those which guided. Lincoln il
the performance of his great public
trusts. And it is creditable, rather
than discreditable to Roosevelt that
he was unable to say more than he
did.
