believes the hog might prove more
profitable diversion. 1t registers these
points in favor of the hog:
There should be really less disap-
pointment in hogs than hens. A hog
Is not expected to do anything but
grow fat, and, ii given half chance,
he will answer this expectation to the
full. With hens, 1t is, Of course. differ
ent. A hen Is expected to lay, an ac-
tive instead Of merely passive serv-
ice; sometimes she does and generally
she doesn't.
There is another thing about hog.
A hog is always there right In his lit
tie sty. When you take friend out
to lean with you over the rail and lis
ten to what you know about hogs and
to inspect the proof Of yo"r asser-
tions, the hog is there.
On the other hand. hen Is shifty
creature. II she can get under the
house, 1t is ten to one she will be
under the house. Sometimes 1t is nee
essary to go over into the neighbours
garden to see that hen. All of -alch
Is very annoying.
In the end, the Chicago paper be-
lieves, the "back-to-the-hog" movement
may make the "back-to-the-land" ex-
element seem trifiing in comparison.

WANTS BETTER FARMERS.

'It is to the interest of the farmers
of Iowa that they increase the pro-
duct Of their farm and dispose of them
at cheaper prices rather than to limit
the production of their farms and sell
their products at high prices" said
Dean C. f. Curtiss Of Ames college in
an address last night at Des Moines.
Dean Curtiss was urging the need Of
a larger appropriation for the Ames
school.
He reminded his hearers that few
years ago he made the statement that
we could have 1000 students in the
collegiate agricultural department Of
the state college and 10000 students
OF the short courses I'VE have near
ly reached that point" he said, "and
now l say that we should have 5000
students in collegiate work and 100,-
900 in short course work.
'.The only way to teach the farmers
the best methods is to reach them, :
said Dean Curtiss, "and this can be
done only through the state extension
department Of the agricultural college.
To maintain this department requires
money, and with the present allow
ance for. this work but few Of the
farmers can be reached
Dean Curtiss said he was not OF the
belief that the young men are desert
ing the farms. The young people of
Iowa, he declared realize that there
is no better land in the world than
that Of this state. why" said he,
"the soil here has scarcely been
scratched"

pose Of its refuse. These are problems
now before the city council for solution.
The Courier does not, however, agree
with the statement that 1--WE can take
care of our streets and alleys with the
system we have adopted because past
experience has shown that this is
impossible. An annual onslaught on
the paved streets with the fire hose
will temporarily clean the streets SO
treated, but cleaning the streets once
To- year is not sufficient. ss
I The system we have adopted has
been the dry sweeping of the streets
in the business district with sweeper
at night, and sweeping crossings and
cutters by men with brooms during the
day time.
This system results in raising a
cloud Of dust to be deposited on the
sidewalks and business fronts adjoin.
Ing the streets. In addition the prac-
tice has been condemned by boards OF
health in a great many cities as a dis
ease breeder.
II this system is continued, it should
be In conjunction with some kind of
sprinkling or dampening process that
will keep down the dust. One trouble
with the sweeping system is that 1t
will not answer the purpose when the
streets are wet and muddy after rain.
A flusher will do the work under these
conditions as well as any other.
However, the Courier is not for the
flusher to the extent of the exclusion
OF all other means. What we do want
Is some plan put into active operation
and kept in operation that will clear
the streets. If there Is some better
plan than the fiusher let's get it.

class laundress. Because Of this It is
all the more necessary that the mis-
tress Of the house should be familiar
with fabrics and how to cleanse them.
The Modern Laundry Equipment.
Whenever possible the laundry
should be separate apartment in
even small houses. 1t may be located
In the basement or adjoining the
kitchen: but. wherever 1t is, the room
should be we'll lighted and we'll ven
tilated and should have good door
and hard finished walls. There should
be no soft or porous material used in
the laundry to absorb moisture. For a.
small home laundry the following list
Of furnishings will be found sufficient:
Three or four tubs. stationary IL pos
sible. made Of soapstone. enamel or
porcelain; good washing machine,
clothes wringer. clothes stick, clothes
boiler. tin or copper: zinc or glass
washboard. clothespins tkept In box
or basket. water pail. clothes basket.
scrubbing brush. large granite spoon,
galvanized iron clothesline. skirt,
sleeve and bosom boards for ironing,
ironing blanket. mangle and several
good irons of different weights. An
electric or even good gasoline iron ID

that its first cost should seldom be
considered. because 1t very soon more
than repays it, Besides this amount
Of furnishing number of common
substances for removing stains Of va
rious kinds should always be on hand.
Among those most frequently needed
may be- mentioned borax. ammonia,
salt. vinegar. alum, naphtha. muriatic
and oxailc acid. These should be kept
in a closed box and out OF the reach
OF children, as some OF them are pol
sonous. Wax. blueing. starch, French
chalk and javelle water are also often
needed in the laundry. and If a supply
OF them Is kept on hand time and ef-
fort may be saved on washing day. A
valuable addition to this equipment
would be an electric or water motor
with which to run the washing ma

an addition 1t is possible for one wo-
man to finish a large washing with
comparatively little outlay of strength.

A new factor in the high cost OF
living problem was brought out in the
testimony Of one Of the witnesses be-
fore the senate committee now investi-
eating this question. A retail grocer
explained that one reason for the high
prices is that great many customers
fail to pay their bills and the dealers
are forced to charge their losses In
this respect to the customers who are
good pay" 1t is unquestionably true
that the dead beat" plays a part In
bringing about this problem. Some
one has to stand the loss occasioned
by his dishonesty.

A Chicago paper notes with APPROX
al that "back-to-the-hog" movement
has been inaugurated in Pennsylva-
mia town A wave of enthusiasm is
sweeping over the town, 1t says, and
everybody is building pigsties. The
hog has grown to be something OF an
aristocrat Of late and 1t is not to be
wondered at that he is again coming
into his own. The Chicago paper be-
lieves that many suburbanites whose
thoughts at this season Of the year
are naturally turning to hens may
probably consider the hog. 1t agrees
that at first the suggestion of hog
in place of hen may prove shocking
to the hen culturist, but in the end it

CLEANING. THE STREETS.

In statement in the Courier thie
evening Mayor Phillips says that ms
position with reference to securing
street fiushers for the city has been
misunderstood. The mayor states that
he is an advocate Of the street husher
but questions whether the city can al
ford to install this system at the pres
ent time It Is understood. however,
the matter will be brought before the
council at an early meeting and the
question fully debated. It will then oe
determined whether it Is case OF the
city being unable to afford adopting
the street flushing system, or whether
the situation is one In which the city
cannot afford to be without the flush
or. Many are Of the opinion that the
flusher will result in real saving
that the saving in wages for men Win
shovels and team now attempting to
clean the streets by the old process
would pay for installing and maintain
Ing the flushing system.
The Courier agrees with the mayor
that the city needs better water ana

no many women the laundry IS the
least interesting part OF the
home, and often the weekly
washing and ironing are the
work most dreadeu by the entire family.
In fact, In many homes they prove to
be the one insurmountable task, and
because no other solution is found for
the problem the washing Is sent to the
laundry or Ia done in any way and by
any one SO long as 1t IL taken out OF
the house. Why the washing and iron
Ing should prove such unpleasant work
as to cause both mistress aud maid TO
rebel against 1t has always been mys-
terry to me. can explain 1t only BY the
natural suppositiou that neither knows
how to do it we'll and that the possd-
Hbilities for doing the work quickly,
easily and thoroughly are few in most
houses. We generally find that prop
erly equipped laundry is among the
last things to be added 10 the house
and that in the majority Of cases q

washing outfit in private homes OF
moderate means. And. small AZ that
equipment is, It can be made TO give
very satisfactory results II little
knowledge and intelligence are brought
to the task. The trouble Is most wo-
men do not like to wash because they
have not been taught to do It prop
erly and because they make extremely
hard work Of 1t. They appreciate to
some degree fine fabrics and dainty
clothing. but they do not as rule,
appreciate these to the extent that
makes them DESTROYS Of preserving
