individual houses are convenient for

hogs may happen to be located.
Little pigs need a great deal Of sun.

makes it imperative that the hog house
be provided with plenty Of windows.

AN AsrlGmATlc ERROR.

Different minds guided by a variety
of interest and desire see present oc-
currences differently and draw differ
ent conclusions. Thus the Sioux City
Journal is convinced that the "insur-
gent" congressman from Iowa are
making capital for the democratic
party in this state. 1t is the Journals
view from its viewpoint.
Now the vast majority of the re-
publicans of the state do not see it
as it appears to the Journal. On the
contrary the manifest desire of these
so-called insurgents to bring out into
the light OF public examination and
free discussion the particular portions
and schedules of the tariff bill by
which the middle west is most af-
fected seems to be making friends for
them and for their party. The insur-
rection, be it known, is backed by
eight out of ten individual voters.
What the seven congressman from
Iowa are standing for is so precisely
what the voters who sent them to
Washington expected they would stand
for that their districts are growing
safer day BY day. The danger of future
democratic success is not considered
in those districts.
Then, 100. Senator Cummins IS do
ing what was expected of him. Even
Senator Dolliyer shows strong synp-
toms of revival and is sprouting both
hope and assurance for the future. Ac-
tually. seen from a clear point of view
republicanism was never stronger or
its assurance more complete in Iowa.
The Journal should see an oculist.
There seem symptoms of astigmatic
error that needs attention and correc-
lion. Perhaps II is looking cross-eyed
at Congressman Hubbard and his coll
leagues and Senator Cun1mins. In ali
seriousness these representatives of
Iowa are representing Iowa republic
canism ana the Iowa idea that for a time
roasted along with the dove of peace in
the Journal office. Later ii emerged
in a hurry with a wry neck and lack
ing some tail feathers, hut it is the
same sweet bird come 10 maturity and
national honor The Journal should
change eyeglasses. Asttgmatism IS a
sartans hing.

FARM BARN.
distance. If the yards and manure
piles are on the side away from the
house. as they should be-
The basement type of barn, though
in use to some extent, is not very pop
ular. even on farms where it can be
easily built. The lower part is damp
and dark. and it is. difficult to secure
proper drainage. These disadvantages
make it desirable to construct the
barn entirely above ground on q solid
foundation. On many farms there are
plenty OF "niggerheads," which can be
used as foundation material. The floor
should be OF cement throughout. The
cost is but little more than that Of
wooden floor and it will last several
times as long. A cement floor is cold
and for this reason should be kept
well hedded. If this is done there can
be little objection to this kind Of
floor, even for horses, although some
horse owners prefer to cover the CO.
ment with false floor of plank.
The remainder of the barn may be
built of several different materials, of
which wood, in spite of its advancing
price, is still the cheapest and most
convenient. Next in order come ce-
ment blocks and tile brick. When last
ing qualities are taken into considera-
ton these are even preferable to wood.
A good Single roof is very satisfac-
tory, though one of the many kinds
of prepared roofing may be substitute
ed at saving in cost and~will proba-
bly, last just as long. In form the hip
roof is the best, as 1t costs but little
more and adds considerably to the ca
pacity of the haymow. The plan Of
having the hay come down to the
ground in the center of the barn is not
economical Of space and is liable to
cause the barn to spread. 1t is better
to obtain the extra hay room needed
by making the sides little higher.
A small room in the barn which can
be used as workshop for repairing
tools, harness and doing other rainy
day jobs" will be found very handy.
1t is always best to have the stock
face to the outside. This gives them
better light and ventilation and keeps
the stable walls from getting splat-
tered with manure. If the barn Is

Too Little Capital Punishment.
Even lat the risk Of seeming savage"
The Presbyterian Standard. declares it
must rejoice at the restoration of the
guillotine' in France. 1t frankly avows
its belief in capital punishment, and
thinks that ''our country is suffering
badly for hangings." The case of
France is cited as an object lesson, or
at least parallel example of the need
for drastic capital punishment. After
the Communists burnt the guillotine in
1871, say the journal France grew
strangely soft and merciful and con-

have increased 60 per cent, and ito

that the increase is largely with juv-

years of age" There is perhaps some
thing more than old testament aus
terity in what this journal says re-
garding our own case:
Apart from the gospel. nothing
would work more for the salvation of
the country than a goodly number OF
well-conducted, well-considered, and
well-tmed flangings. BE it understood
that we want no hangings by mobs,
made up for the most part of brutal
ruffians; nor are We particularly con-
cerned about the hanging OF poor, ig-
norant negroes who have neither
friends nor money to interpose in their
behalf. The kind of hanging that would
do good is where a capital offense is
clearly proven against a man of some
standing, who has money, and who has
employed shrewd and INSCRIPTIONS

such hangings. opportunities that are
going TO waste. Opportunities of this
kind are afforded by men who have
killed their wives, killed them with cir
curnstances of aggravated cruelty; and
by men who tote a pistol around to de-
fend their honor, and who have killed
men to avenge a petty insult.
We believe in capital punishment
because we believe in the bible. That
old book speaks out in no uncertain
sound: Whose killeth any person, the
murderer shall be slain at the mouth
Of witnesses. Moreover, ye shall take
no ransom for the life of a murderer
that is guilty of death; but he shall
surely be put to death That is plain
enough, but that is not the end of the
matter.
God proposes to have a reckoning
with those who trifle with that require
ment. so We shall not pollute the LAM
wherein ye are; for blood it polluteth
the land: and no expiaton can be
made for the land, for the blood that is
shed therein, but by the blood of him
that shed it We verify believe that
God has a controversy with our land
because it is polluted by the blood that
has been shed therein for which no ex-
patton has been made. Let US have
some hanging that will mean some
thing. that will make the man who is
capable of taking the life of his fellow.

Civic Ra ptism.u

The sacrament of baptism is bur
lesqued' by certain public official in
France, says writer in the Christian
Observer, and the neutral govern
ment takes no notice of the event" The
offense here alluded to is called "a civic
baptism" and is said to be performed
by the mayor of Ivy. This journal de-
scribes the act thus:
The parents of the child and their
attendants 60 TO the city hall. where
the mayor awaits them The infant is
then soleulnly dedicated to the state.
The god-parents promise that in case
Of necessity they viii educate the child.

the only service of reason, sound judg-
nent, rectitude. labor and the repub-

1T is true this thing, as one of our

exception. In liberal circles they even
make jest of il. and Journalists
, travel to Ivy to see Mayor Jules Cou-
tdnl. tne SOclanst. perform the cerc-
lnony, to amuse their readers with the
account of it.
But the fact remains that a neutra.
government allows one of its officials
without a reprimand, or without any
effort to hinder it, make travesty or
the Christian religion and its sacra-
ments. The wind is indicated by the
direction of straws, and this straw in
dicates that the deep hatred of chris
tianity, which characterized the terrors
of the French revolution, is boiling VI
again from the deep. Everything
must develop according to its own laws
and the development Of this matter, i,
left unarrested, can only be a repeti
ton of the scandalous scenes of the
bitter days which, more than ceutur,
ago, cost France SO dear"
