Pasturing Live Stock

AS to Police Regular ,ns,
among which, is the follow og
question, Shall Stock be Re
strained from Running at
Large" In 1888 the above
question was submitted to the
voters of Harrison County and
the same was carried in the af-
firmative.
Sec. 2314 of the code of Iowa
applies to the question and is
as follows:
"Swine, sheep and goats at
all times, and during it's time
and as required by a police re-
gulation adopted according to
law, stock shall be restrained
from running at large. Ami

this chapter; but stock shall
not be considered as running

getting, by honest labor, our
rightful share. But there isM' /
a fair chance at all.
The trouble is that about five
per cent of our people hold eigh-
ty per cent of the wealth, and
the other twenty per cent of
our national wealth must suffice
for the remaining ninety-hve
per cent of the people. That is,
there is about twenty-five bill
ion dollars worth of wealth di-
vided among seventy six mill
ion people.
Now, when this is figured out,
it shows that the per capita
share is only about three hun,
dred and twenty five dolears for
each man, woman and.child, and
that the average family is1 ea
titeled mathematically to only
about eighteen hundred dollars,
or little more than a single
member of it really ought tosget.
From this it follows that these
swollen fortunes have made it
just about five times as hard for
us to acquire the amount of
wealth we are entitled to as it
really ought to be: that a mans
chances of failure is five times
as great and his chance of sue
cess only one-fifth as great as
it should be; an,l that as these
great fortunes i'crease in mum
ber and magn'sn lie, the poor
mans difficulties in acquiring a
competence mll likewise de-
crease.

the soil is in the very best ply
sical condition to withstand
the effects of dry weather.
Some of the early planted corn,
in southern counties, is "knee

ing the coming week. The
average temperature was about
the normal, and the maxium
temperatures were above so
degrees every day of the week.
There was also an excessive
amount of sunshine, but the
rainfall was much below the
normal. In fact the precipita-
ton was practically all over a
large part of the state. There
were, however. light and wide
|y scattered showers over the
central counties during the
hst days which will be of great
benefit in the localities where
they occurred. All small grains

crops. Clover hay harvest has
begun and some timothy has

good yield of the former, but
