A MATTER OF IDENTIFICATION,

Second district, lines up it's party there
as opposed TO the mulct law and favor

republican party toward the liquor
question. The latest platform declared
for mo backward step" in liquor leg
islation. The Iowa City paper says:
When the vote was taken on the
platform which contains a radical pro-
hibition resolution, declaring the party
would take no backward step, every IN
surgent delegate in the Second district,
including such men as Colonel French,
Joe Lane, Con Murphy, E. p. Adler
and others of Davenport and George
Curtis and the entire Clinton delega-
ton voted for the prohibition pia.E'ks

Iowa and with Cosson for attorney
general, people of this district VINO are

interests suffer. How do the regular"
republicans of the interior districts like

In the foregoing articles the writer
has discussed the feeding, breeding

COW in the herd has had an oppor-
tunity to produce largely and profit

States today every individual OF which

has before been stated the only meth

the milk continuously through the
year. This having been done. It is
only a course of time until the dairy
farmer is well acquainted with each
individual COW and it is time now for
him to be disposing Of the inferior
cows and taking better care Of the
good cows and replacing the poor
cows with those that have merit.
Only Pure-Bred SIres Should Be Used.

Making Veal.
In Scotland and Holland where the
making of veal is carried on for profit
largely, they have systems OF feeding
characteristic Of the COWS. In Scot,
land the younger calves are permitted
to nurse the first milk from the COW,
taking as much as they care for; the
older calves are given that which re-
mains-the last milk or the milk
which IL always the richest. In Hol-
land the calves as soon az born arc
placed In very narrow stalls whore
they cannot turn around although
they can lie and stand comfortably.
Three times a day the calves are given
all the milk they can drink. During

to fit grade male calves for veal and
sell them to the butcher as soon as
possible. Furthermore, as rule the
greatest profit to be gained from
calves Of such breeding is at this
time. There are many systems OF
feeding calves for veal which will re-
suit in profit To demand the
largest price the calves should be fat
and in good condition. The best
grade Of veal is produced from the
feeding of whole milk nursed direct
from the COW, but because the calf
should be four weeks old before being
vealed, it is rather an expensive
process to permit 1t to nurse for four
weeks time. 1t Is possible to feed
them other foods rather than whole
milk but to the experienced buyer OF

PLEADING FOR A BOLT.

The Sioux City Journal and the
Cedar Rapids Republican are wailing
and scratching blindly like wounded
tom cats at the convention and the
platform The Republican has read the
convention majority out of the party
much as hedge priest might excom :
municate the pope. The Journal with
its gift for strategy creates out of the
convention and the republicans thus
represented a new party, which is
equivalent to informal dismissal from
the party of Perkins and Lacey. The
Journal makes oracular notification
that Iowa republicans can not support
the national administration and con-
sort with Cummins"
Judged by their editorial utterances
these newspa pers are busily engaged
fomenting bolt The efforts of the
Cedar Rapids Republican toward this
end may be minimized to the level Of
an advertisement IT is not leader
even in standpat circles but sutler
and a sort of factional house servant.
The Journal is of different caliber and
its editor man of large influence
within his faction. No doubt it will
find some answering echoes Of its
proclamation of revolt against the Will
of the republicans of Iowa.
The editor of the Journal came to
the convention With a running sore
which IS not to be healed except by
medicament compounded from the
crushed particles Of Albert B. Cum
Minis political blood and bones. He
went away without the medicine and
with the old wound irritated. He is
unable to differentiate his successful
rival from the policies approved by
the republicans Of the state. He sees
red when he hears or hears of Cum
Minis. He has never been the same
man since he deserted his chosen camp
at the reckoning finger Of ambition and
found too late that few chose to follow
him across the divide.
But the rank and file Of the faction
with which he is at present identified
are not likely TO listen generally to
the foxy suggestion that tailess foxes
should be the fashion. They have not
been in the trap. 1t viii be hard to
make personal hatred of Senator Cum
MINIS a large asset toward a bolt. This
convention was a showdown; its ma
jority so conclusive; its temper so adj
mirably controlled as to evoke admin
istration even from the minority. Then
too the standpat candidates on the
ticket and their friends are not at all
inclined to sacrifice themselves in order
that Messrs. Perkins, Lacey, Hepburn,
and certain lesser has beens may burn
another's political grain stacks. But
if the efforts of the disgruntled, de-
feated and discredited in Iowa repub-
licanism might by hook or crook turn
the state over to the democrats as part
of the procedure of senile and saw

CANADA ALERT,

Canada has taken note of the efforts
on this side of the line to check the
movement of settlers from the states
into the dominion. The government
and the people are not content to lei
matters take their course. They want
the settlers and it appears that they
have been anticipating just such sit
uation as that which now has arisen
They are prepared to counter vigor-
ously on the effort to keep the states
farmer at home and to bring back
those who have already made the
move.
]. Bruce Walker, commissioner of
immigration for Canada, denies that
there is any returning movement. He
says: 1T would, of course, be quite
unreasonable on our part to suppose
that we could draw stream Of immi-
grafton fro mthe United States, in
creasing steadily both in quantity and
quality, without arousing some feeling
of envy on the part of some interests
in that country. If the conditions were
reversed-if there We're an exodus of
the best citizens from Canada to the
republic to the south-theanxiety of
the press in Canada would be quite as
great as that of our friends on the other
side. This effort to check immigration
can not, however, succeed. The wheat
and other products Of Canada will
prove an irresistible magnet, and the
western lands will continue to draw the
most capable. courageous and self-re-
liant of American farmers"
The figures Of American immigration
into Canada for a number of years
past have been as follows: 1905, ST.
91s; 1906, $1,000; 1907, 5s,312: 1908.
59,s32; 1909, 1o3,7sS.
There was thus an increase in the
year 1909 over the year 1908 of almost
100 per cent. This was an unprece-
dented advance and was the cause OF
the present action to check the north
ward movement. The increase, how
months of the present fiscal year there
was an advance of so per cent over the
phenomenal figures of the first three
months of the last fiscal year. 1t is
not considered probable that the same
great increase will be continued dur
ing the whole year. If it should, Can
ada will receive this year over 10000
American settlers. In any case it will
receive over 100000, the great major
ity of whom Will make their perman-
ent homes in the west,
Some Of them will come back, but
the inevitable readjustment, destiny, is
bound to keep most Of them there once
they get there. The final consolation
for us is that we will be assured OF
good neighbors who some day NAV
come back and bring the dominion with
them.

IOWA HANGINGs.

[Cedar Rapids Republican,.
Hangings in Iowa have been a farce,
in any event. under the present law.
We have had about three hangings in
a quarter Of a century, that Is, legal
hangings. Governor Larrabee permit
ted one man to be huny-he was coll
ored man, we believe. There were no
hangfngs under Governor Boies. There
was one sentenced to be hanged under
Governor Cummins, but he reprieved
the fellow and the people Of the neigh

took another fellow, who had commit
ted similar crime, and hanged him to
a bridge. In Iowa the law 10 not fairly
epforced-it is only the friendless devil
who gets his deserts under the law.
