most serious matter? And can anyone
doubt that the wedding out process
should have been more complete and
that we all would have been better off
with much less than 1884 new laws?
We certainly have too much legisla-
tion. "a cry goes up against 1t every
time our legislative bodies convene but
1t seems to do little good. OF the

FOWLER OR ALDR1cH7


There are many plans for reform of
the currency and banking, ranging
from Kittson's multiple standard to
the American Bankers Association's
plan, but there are only two that are
prominently before the public. Fowler's
comprehensive plan for systematizing
both currency and banking, and the as
yet nebulous Aldrich central bank
proposition. One or the other Of these.
or a modification of either, will prob
ably be the one adopted if any is
1t IS pertinent to the subject to in
quire into the qualifications of these
two men to prepare plan for refor-
nation of the banking system, since
we have no suggestion that the Aldrich
plan contemplates anything else, leav-
ing untouched the governments notes
and the bond basis of bank notes.
The brief biography which Mr..
Aldrieh contributes to the Congress
sional Directory informs us that he
was born in 1871. had an academic edu-
cation, served in the Providence COM
mon council, in the Rhode Island legis-
lature. two terms in the lower house

FAN Pasturins Of Wheat.

Wheat is a crop that needs much
consideration if we wish to obtain the
best results possible. There are GER
tain times of the year when it would
be great mistake to pasture wheat,
and there are certain fields that ought
not to be pastured; but there are also
some instances when wheat can be
pastured to great advantage. OF course
the conditions must justify the pro-
ceeding.
Early wheat as a rule can be pastur-
ed quite hard in the fall, provided all
conditions are favorable OF course il
would be poor policy to pasture 1t when
the season was wet and the ground
muddy, as the tramping Of stock on
such land would puddle the soil sc
badly that the entire crop might be
ruined, and perhaps the soil also.
Should the soil be very dry, on the
other hand, the stock is very apt te
dig up much of the wheat, as the roots
will not have firm hold in the looss
soil. ~
Land that has been very trashy an.
plowed late in the season Is ACTUALLY

We have alternated with millet and
other hay, producing the conditions re-
ferred to at will for nearly two years.
In the meantime the horse has suf-
fered in condition and does not at all
resemble her former SELF
She is valueless as far as work is
concerned and is only kept fer experi-
mental purposes.
We are able at any time to demon-
strate the effect from feeding millet
by allowing her to have miIlet exclu-
sively as coarse food for a portion OF
two months.
Letters sent to veterinarians. farm.
ers and others in the state brought re-
plies which showed that i'll results had
quite generally been observed from the
use of millet, manifested usually by de-
creased action of the kidneys.
Our experiments have thoroughly
demonstrated that mil1et, when used
entirely as a coarse food. is injurious
to horses: First, in producing kidney
troubles; second, in causing lameness
and swelling of the joints; third, in
producing infusion of blood into the
joints; fourth, in destroying the text
ure of the bone, rendering it softer and
less tenacious, so that traction causes
the ligaments and muscles to be torn
loose.

THE PLETHORA OF LAWS.


The, American people has a perfect
penchant for legislating. for piling law
upon law. In the last regular session
of congress there were introduced 2S,
440 bills, and in the 1909 session of
thirty-nine state legislatures there
were introduced 45.33O bills, or total
Of 1910. During that period congress
enacted 326 piiis (exciusive Of pension
bills) and the thirty nine state legisla-
lures 1868, or total of 1884 bills
that became laws. In the session of
the British parliament, completed in
1908, SAT bills were introduced and 239
became laws. in the United States
there was one bill introduced for every
1000 inhabitants and in Great Britain
one for every 1900. In the United
States there was one bill enacted for
every 5000 inhabitants, while the Brit
ish parliament enacted one for every
$4,000 inhabitants of the united
Kingdom.

THREE TEST STATES

One of the indubitable evidences
quoted by business experts of the ex-
mansion of trade is the increase in the
number of banks and the gain in the
volume of deposits. The growth Of
material wealth in Minnesota, Iowa,
North Dakota and South Dakota since
us9S is something marvellous, as meas
ured by increase of banks and the gain
in deposits of those four states lo6e
banks. with an aggregate of deposits
of s17o 900 coo, while in 1909 there were
reported s.2o7 banks with total depos-
its of s7So,07S, 900. In eleven years
there has been a gain of 1929 banks in
Iowa. Minnesota, North Dakota and
South Dakota, with an increase OF
$50. 100000 in bank deposits. These
states are almost exclusively agri-
cultural commonwealth, and their in
crease in material wealth reflects the
growth and prosperity of husbandry IN
the west. n Iowa there has been a gain
in eleven years of $50 banks and $3.50,
5000 in deposits.
Here are three test states. How
many years ago would Iowa, Mime
sofa and the Dakotas have been quoted
as the exponents of national pros
perity?
Another evidence Of gains in the gen.
eral volume of business is the entire
elimination of the supply of idle cars
Following the panic of 1897 the number
of idle cars accumulated until no less

the surplus of cars has not only been

condition of car shortage comes as a
significant indication of the practical

THE cHAseEB RAILROAD PRESIDENT.

Mr. E. P. Ripley is president of the
Atchison, Topeka and Santa F'e rail-
road system. He made a speech the
other night in New York, the home of
railroad presidents, which may and
should be accepted by the public as an
acceptance of the Roosevelt theory of
railway responsibility and pledge TO
its practice.
The railroad managers must realize.
a1e said. that the railroads are not
strictly private property, but are sub
ject to regulation BY the public thru
its regularly. constituted authorities. To
meet this situation they must get in
touch with public opinion, and avoid
as far as is possible any action seri-
ouslv counter to it. There must be a
disposition to explain reasons. There
must be a disposition and efforts to
improve service. in many cases without
expectation of immediate reward, but
with the hope Of winning public APP
proval. There should be, he said, bet
ter stations, Improved heating and
lighting devices, better equipment bet
ter terminal facilities, etc. "all with
due regard to the rights of those whose
money we are spending" Most of our
railroads. he added are mere imita-
lions of what a railroad should be He
recalled that the the previous theory
and practice of railway management
has been at direct variance with this
new gospel and made it very plain that
to his mind the assumption of the
roads that theirs is private property to
be administered as private interests
dictate and private desires urge, is
gone and well gone.
This theory is the result of the al
legged railroad batting, "attempted de-
struction of railroad properties" pop
ulistic howl" and the thousand other
approbrfous terms and the general
obloquy with which the movement for
rate regulation was assaulted. The rail

two presidential contests fought on the
money issue. Following neither did Mr.
Aldrich propose any substantial rern-
patch on a variegated piece of patch
work. Following the panic of 1907 the
best he could devise was the basing of
bank note issues ON "any security a
bank would make loan on" the
emergency currency" act, under which
but one association of banks qualified
to utilize the s500,o0o,0OO OF blank
emergency notes printed and stored
away in a specially built vault in
Washington.
Mr.. Fowler was born in Illinois in
1852, graduated from Yale, from the
Chicago law school, was elected to the
Fifty fourth and all subsequent con-
crosses. Removing to Elizabeth. N.
j., he engaged in banking and manu-
featuring and accumulated large for
tune. When, soon after his election to
congress. he was made chairman of
the banking and currency committee,
he gave himself to serious and ex-
tended study of banking and, it's
closely related subject, the currency.
Realizing the suspicion with which any
measure of reform enanating from a
banker would be received by a public
holding. traditional prejudices against
bankers, he disposed of all his bank in
vestments, that no trace of self interest
might be ascribed to him.
Year after year he studied the ques-
ton in all, the complications time
serving and incapable congress had
produced in local conditions, and the
sleeps needed to resolve them and pro-
duce a system which would cover the
entire field, remove the government
from all interference further than its
primal and legitimate function of as
surfing solvency, and leaving to private
enterprise the supply Of currency. The
product of his years of study is the
comprehensive bill which his commit
lee reported favorably to the last con-
gress and which Cannon termed tom
myrot"
Mr.. Aldrich. we are told, has given
to the question his attention and study
since last August, save as he pondered
it while producing his emergency cur
rency measure He and some Of his
associates on the monetary commission
spent. some months abroad at public
cost investigating the British and
European systems. His speeches dur
ing this trip have given no inkling of
the details Of whatever plan he and
they have devised and no information
except as to the foreign systems which
anyone could get In any fairly equipped
reference library.

IOwA'S INVESTMENTS.

'Iowans need lecturing on that sub

Telegraph Herald for the investment of

investment is a SPECULATION pure and

so good that hundreds of farmers are
watching the man whose small farm
adJoins theirs waiting for a sign that
ne is willing to sell at any price. Iowa
land does not lack Iowa investors. Iowa
money does not go out of Iowa by
preference. Some of it did, some of it
IS doing so. The big land Spectator
puts his money into the purchase of
large sections of new lands on terms
that permit him to carry big invest
ments on comparatively small capital.
He buys land as merchant buys goods
TO sell at a profit as quickly as he can
turn tnem. Some men with small
amounts to invest buy cheap lands be-
cause they can carry them easily. It
takes good big money to buy an Iowa
farm and the time term is short. But
will some complaining newspaper point
out a single good farm in Iowa offered
on the market at any reasonable price
which does not find an Immediate pur-
chaser?
Some day the good Iowa money will
turn TO factory investment. At present
it is looking for land. Today there is
not the slightest trouble to organize
a real factory where a real opportunity
exists and organize it practically on
home money The trouble is that we
don't know how. We haven't the habit

theory is one that is accepted by the
public. It's practice will be met by
hearty cooperation and good will.
Build better, serve better, meet the
public honestly in rates and this pub
lie which is patient to criminal neglect
of its own rights and unjust only on
great provocation, will be not only
satisfied but absurdly grateful.

IOWA OPINIONS AND NOTES.

The Shelby County Republican sees
where Iowa farmers could be progress
sive in other lines than politics. 1t
says: MANY of the farmers of Iowa
are 'progressives' in politics, and they
are produ of it, That is their privilege
ard they have many things of which
they can Istly be proud, as the pro-
gressives stand for not a few COM
mendable policies. In other respects,
however, the farmers of Iowa are the
rankest sort of 'standpatters' and moss
backs. In the matter of schools, for
instance. and roads, and in their slow
ness in adopting advanced methods of
agriculture"

Storing Apples For Winter Use.

Only selected apples which are free
from blemisn or insect injuries should
be stored for winter keeping. The APP
pies should be carefully selected, as
only sound, perfect fruit will keep for
long period. All imperfect fruit
should be used Immediately. The APP
pies should not be allowed to lie in piles
in the orchard as the sweat which oc-
ours there will cause them to keep i'm
perfectly They should be placed in a
cool room at once.
The best farm storage for apples is
cellar where the temperature remains
just above the freezing point. A fair
amount of moisture will induce mold
and rot. The cellar should be separ-
ated from the furn=ce roof or other
heating arrangement, and needs but
little ventilation except occasionally on
pleasant days, when the temperature is
above the freezing point.
Apples can best be stored in crates
and boxes which hold about one bushel
EACH Large bins or barrels are incon-
venient, since 1T is difficult to detect
the beginning of rot, which may spread
rapidly turnout the bin, and the apples
can not be readily sorted when rot APP
pears. Small crates and boxes are
much easier to handle, as the fruit can
be removed without additional handling
which causes some loss from bruises.
In case the apples should freeze In
the cellar, they should be allowed to
thaw out slowly, and must not be
touched while they are frozen or they
will quickly decay. To prevent freez-
| ing when cold weather is anticipated a
tub of warm water should be placed in
the room This water will keep the
temperature above the freezing point
and is much preferable to placing q
fire Of Goals in the cellar, as there is
thus no danger of fire.
