If sheep had no further point in their
thirty to sixty on the average farm
would be amply justified from the
service they render as weed destroyers,
it being a matter of statistics that Of
more than 500 different kinds of weeds
they will consume all but about fifty
varieties. Along with dairying the
practice of sheep raising needs intro
ducing in many grain raising sections
of the country, while it needs reintro-
ducing into some sections where it was
once in vogue.

An invention which gives promise of
being of immense benefit TO the orange
packing industry has lately been in
stalled in the plant Of the Redlands
Orange Growers association. In brief.
1t is device in which the fruit is sub
jected to an alcohol bath. the perfectly
sound and solid fruit going to the bot
tom of the tank and the light and i'm.
perfect fruit remaining at the surface,
whence it is removed by an endless
conveyor This simple device not only
accomplishes what the human hand
and eye cannot. but 1t has been found
that fruit given the alcohol bath keeps
longer and in better state of preser-
walton through a destruction Of all rot
spores on the surface. The cost Of the
operation is ~ cents per box for al
cohol and pa cents for labor.

am In receipt of your favor asking
If consider 1t within the province of
the grange. and for the farmers inter
est especially, for national and state
oranges and their legislative commit
tees to either advocate or oppose leg
islation not directly for the farmers
interest and not specifically agricul-
tural in its purpose or effect"
In the first place. would say that
everything that makes for good citizen
ship and the conmonweal directly
concerns the farmers. In my opinion.
the grange should not hesitate to go
on record for or against every eco
nomic question which has not become
strictly partisan or upon which the
political parties have become sharply
divided. Especially should they do so
when the members of the grange are
substantially agreed. If the farmers
of this country are opposed to ship
subsidy and a centralized bank, as
they seem TO be, believe they should
say so. If they are in favor of par
GELS post and postal savings banks
they should certainly say so.
The tariff. the initiative and referen-
dunn. direct primaries. election of
United States senators by popular vote
and some other questions are of a
somewhat more doubtful character and
yet all of them vitality affect the farm
ers of the country and are vital to
good government.
Just what class of subjects may
be said TO be specifically agricultural
in their purpose it would be difficult
to determine. Certainly the control
of railroads and the fixing of freight
and passenger rates cannot be said to
be specifically agricultural in their pur-
pose, and yet ii will forever remain
the glory of the grange that it secured
the decision of the highest court in
the land that 1.-The creature cannot be
greater than the creator" and il seems
to me that no one could censure the
grange for the active part it took in
support of the interstate commerce
commission.
i fully realize that there is ground
for honest difference of opinion upon
this subject. but ! am willing to risk
the patriotism and hard horse sense
of the farmers who compose the
oranges TO settle these questions for
themselves when they come TO them

The New York state department of
agriculture has lately issued a book
of some 200 pages giving descriptions
Of occupied and unoccupied farms in
the Empire State which are for sale
or rent. Doubtless such descriptions
would give a prospective buyer a fair
idea of these properties; but, as is
equally true in the purchase Of lands
in the west, they should not be bought
without being given a careful first
hand inspection. There is little ques-
ton that many Of these places are
real bargains-price quality Of land
and nearness to market considered
while there are some others which
would hardly justify paying a price
which would equal the taxes and cost
Of keeping in repair. Notwithstand-
ing this they might well be looked
into carefully by those who are look
ing for homes on the land"

cannot see far. Snakes seem to have

WHY IOWA Is GREAT

The latest contribution TO the Des
Moines Capitals symposium on Why
Iowa Is the Best State in the Union"
is made by Mr.. W. E. Holmes, secre-
tary of the Sioux City Commercial
club. Two reasons in particular are
cited by Mr.. Holmes, to-wit: the fertil-
ity of Iowa soil and the quality of Iowa
citizenship The word quality" must
here be construed to cover two great
and inherent attributes Of character
intelligence and industry.
Mr.. Holmes recalls the early settle
ment of the state: Iowa's pioneers
We're the pick and flower Of New York,
( Pennsylvania and Ohio: sturdy, intelli-
gent. ambitious young men and women
whose progeny has proved no disap-
pointment Other states, of course
4 contributed; and Germany the Scandi
navian nations. Bohemia and other for
eign countries sent to us their best
peoples who have rapidly been assimi
; lated. In this connection Mr.. Holmes
says:
