TRADING AROUND.

The old time horse trader didn't
have much on the modern method of
affinity matrimony. The old time horse
trader always had an animal which he
wanted to trade for another animal
and soon as he had traded was driven
oy an Irresistible IL. pulse to trade the
enc he had for another. There was
always something wrong with trading
stock Occasionally both parties to
the trade got beat 1t was the trad
ing instinct which made the DEAL 1t
became an obsesson. habit, a dis
ease. He had to trade whether he had
the best or the worst of the deal.
Upton sinclair's former wife got sick
of him. Another offered in the person
of one Kemp, a poet. She took Kemp.
The other day when Kemp called her
up on the phone to bill and coo some
she told him he had been traded. She
bad another man. The fact is that Mr..
Sinclair had failed to come up to her
ideals. and Kemp looked like the kind
Of man she had been looking for, the
ideal man. On investigation Kemp
lacked much OF idealisn. So Meta made
another change
1t is lot like horse trading. There
are some men and women who seem to
be in the same class with the trading
stock once common in the days when
people traded horses, who seem to be
just made to trade around and who are
always waiting around to be traded.
They look good to their prospective
owners. Some of the traders are so
set on dealing that they give boot to
the extent OF thousands of dollars as
once took place in notable Iowa trade
where a rich woman took a fashion to
an educated and theological high
actor"
But it is just q bunch Of traders and
trading stock. 1t isn't really connected
with the regular business Of the coun-
try.

SOLID FOR cuMM1Ns."


so now. as we view It, the real sal
walton Of the situation lies in the sup
port OF third candidates and in en-
forcing upon the party managers the
necessity Of a nomination that will
command general party acceptance.
Iowa IS in position to set an example
along this line. and in setting such ex-
ample any quibbling over past differ
ences on the Cummins question is I'M
seenly. Senator Cummins has won his
Office and his leadership by fighting
for the same, and tho men who have
been run over may not like what has
happened to them, it is proper for them
to reflect that It takes the fighting
quality for leadership. and 1t is repub-
licanism militant and not republican
ism sycophant that has made the party
great and lasting. Senator Cummins is
republican militant, and since his
transferrence to Washington he has
maintained the prestige that he had
in Iowa, while HIS close handling Of
public questions has given to his local
critics no such occasion for resentment
as had been afforded by some Of his
long distance discussions OF the same
questions He has grown with his
opportunities, and he deserves a court
eous endorsement from his state. We

ROOSEVELT AND cUMmlNs.

Mr. Roosevelt in his Columbus
speech yesterday said among other
sensible things:
1.-The middle sized business men
formed an element Of strength which
is of literally incalculable value to the
nation. The average business man Of
this type is, as a rule, a leading citizen
Of his community. foremost in every
thing that tells for it's betterment, a
man whom his neighbors look UP to
and respect.
Yet nowadays many men Of this
kind, when they come to maken eces-
sary trade agreements with one an
other, find themselves in danger Of
becoming unwilling transgressors OF
the law, and are at a loss to know
what the law forbids and what it per-
mits. This is all wrong. There should
be fixed governmental policy. pol

WkSHIkG1Ok'S BIRTHDAY.

The memory OF no American, unless
it be that of Abraham Lincoln, is more
venerated and beloved than Washing
tons, and no holiday less generally OBJ
served by individuals.
The answer to this apparent riddle
people. We are not nation OF holiday
makers or observers Of fast days. We
are too busy. There is too much to
be done and short time to do it in.
American conception of great men
lacks awe but rot appreciation. The
American doesn't sanctify the birth
days of any man. There is but one
holiday builded on birth into the
world which Americans observe as
sanct and holy.
But beneath all the apparent indif-
ference OF the Americans there is sim
cere appreciation Of George Washing
ton and his service to them selves and
all the world. We are inclined to ac-
cept service as something due and to
appreciate those who render it as we
do those who fulfill an obligation. This
sense and attitude does not in the
least detract or disappreciate the ser
vice and those who freely rendered it:
but the average American can see small
reverence to the departed in idleness
and in waste of days production for
which the living are waiting.
1t isn't unpatriotic when 10000, 900
people refuse to cease necessary &C
or to build monuments because use
full or popular man is dead. AS peo-
pie Americans equal in patriotic sacri
flee under need, any nation on earth.
There has never been a crisis in Amer
lean national life which was not met
half way by the common patriotism Of
Americans.
The fact about it all is that we can't
spare the time. Another fact is that
we are sensible and thrifty when we
conclude that multiplication of idle
days is not by way of high respect to
the founders of a nation without a
peasant or prince, but where personal
effort and thrift and industry are the
stairway to personal independence.
Publicly we observe Washington's
birthday. The schools and public
buildings are closed and the flags are
out. In the hearts Of individuals his
memory endures and they keep holiday
in their hearts while their hands are
busy.

GOOD HUNTING.


Fifteen men of Lidderdale had a very
exciting wolf hunt a few days ago and
they got an enormous specimen Jerry
Best was the lucky man. He shot the
big wolf from horseback. and then went
after the wounded animal with the
dubbed gun. He broke the weapon on
the VOLTS head, but finally succeeded
in getting the brute. 1t was som ething
like the old-fashioned hunting that the
pioneers. engaged in. The state of Iowa
is full Of sportsnen, who have never
seen wolf and are forever bewailine
the fact that there is no good hunting
in Iowa, and that the pot shooters and
game hogs have ruined hunting and
slaughtered the game. Yet there are
wolves in practically every county in
the state. and the counties pay good
bounties for them. and the farmers
would receive wolf hunters with open
arms. And then the wolf is perhaps
the most wise and most wary Of all
wild animals, and wolf hunting would
be the greatest Of all sports in Iowa
for real hunters.

LATOLLETTE STICKS.


This does not mean that he will en-
ter into a contest with Roosevelt or
Cummins for any delegations which
can better be secured under their lead
ership than under his own. To engage
in a fight with progressives would be
to weaken the cause and decrease the
chances Of nomina ting a progressive
If at the convention it develops that
Cummins or Roosevelt can be nominal
ed, and LaFollette can not, he will
cheerfully retire In order to insure the
nomination Of a progressive. With the
same spirit actuating the other can,1i-
dates, the plan Of the progressive cam
paign as originally outlined will be
carried out. The full progressive
strength will be assembled at the Chi
cago convention, and unless Taft has
enough votes to nominate him on the
first ballot. either LaFollette, Cum
Minis or Roosevelt will be the choice of
the convention.

0reen Manuree,

The practice Of blowing under green
crops as manure is not very general.
and we do not know as much as we
should like to know Of the value Of
this method. Some crops do not thrive
when sown ON land into which q green
crop has recently been plowed. This 70
particularly true of those crops that
like q solid seed bed. or which are
sensitive to acids. When a heavy
green crop is plowed under, 1t goes
thru q fermentation not unlike that
which occurs In barrel Of kraut, re.
sulting In the formation Of a considers
able amount Of acid.
Alfalfa is particularly sensitive to
acids, and 1t also requires a compact
seed bed. It IL unwise, therefore, to
green manure the land Just before
seeding to alfalfa. The cereals. par
ticularly wheat and rye, do not do well
after green manure. On the other
hand, potatoes and corn are not SER
iously injured by green manures. In
fact. potatoes are benefited by them,
since the resulting. acid condition Of
the soil prevents the development Of
potato scab.
Generally speaking. when It 10 des
sirable to pillow in a green crop before
fall -sown crops, it should be done .
month or six weeks before planting
time, and the soil should be narrowed
frequently or otherwise compacted. A
few good rains will wash out most OF
the acids and aid in compacttnS tho
soil The acid may also DO counteracted
by adding lime.

vantiIate tho Dairy Barn.

One Of the great causes Of disease
of animals is unfavorable external
conditions, for no living thing can
thrive unless the surrounding condi-
tons are favored for its growth.
All animals have a certain capacity OF
enduring unfavorable influences. This
city is usually spoken OF as vital
resistance" This may be great or
small, but every animal must have
more or less Of 1t or it can not continue
its struggle for existence.
It was recognized more than a
century ago that impure air induces
disease Impure air is not the
cause OF the disease. but constitutes
an unfavorable surrounding condl-
ton. The vitiated air Of stables re-
duces the vital resistance Of an ami
NAL, rendering 1t less adaptable to
the extremes Of conditions to which It
may be exposed and more susceptible
to infection, against which 1t has no
sure defense.
Dairy barns are very frequently
poorly ventilated. The dairy cow is
then not only required to live, but
to work under unfavorable infiu-
ences and she often falls q victim to
such disease as tuberculosis, pneu.
monia, bronchitis, colds, etc. Foul
air Is one Of the prime factors In the
production Of such diseases.
Since the advent Of sanitary sci
ence in connection with ventilation
the air space allowed for each AMI
mai has been increased, and q num-
Der OF methods Of ventilation have
been devised. The exercise OF little
care in such matters win protect the
health Of animals, prevent premature

who do not retain lawyers to define the

fully with this. But saying 1t the ex-
president has said nothing new.
Senator Cummins has been accused
Of insurgency for attempting to make

fer check to enterprise.
Colonel Roosevelt insists that the
only safe course is to provide for max
ing popular judgment effective. mat
has been Cummins business thruout
his political and official career IN Iowa
Popular judgment was with him when
he vetoed the Molesberry meyer as
one of his earlier executive acts. 1t
was with him when he made the hrst
effective fight for the anti-pass law
when he insisted on fair taxation OF
railways. in his fight for the direct
primary, in the long bitter tight he mas
made to make popular judgment ef-
fective by legislation and law en-
forcement. Popular Judgment justifies
every law which Cummins forced into
the statutes of Iowa, not only popular
Judgment in Iowa but elsewhere "here
Iowa laws and Iowa leadership has
been and is being copied and followed.
Colonel Roosevelt affirms the direct
primary. SO does other leaders OF all
factions now. But Cunlnins affirmed
it in the face OF defeat. He carried
it thru the smoke. The measures and
principles which the ex-pres!dent ap-
proves and promulugates have been
facts for wears in Iowa because the
handspring of Albert 3. Cummins' po-
litical existence has been TO make pop
ular Judgment effective.

all his political chips in the center of /

sonal success on the popular judgment
which the ex- president lays down as
the final decision of just government.

Cummins has never faltered or hung

Skilled Labor Upon tn. Farm.


Now when people who live in the
cities exhort some portions OF the
residents to come back to the acres,
they are making a statement which is
not wise. in that the great majority OF
city residents would not be successful
today upon the modern up-to- date
farm In case they are absolutely
without labor and are being pressed
with want, then il they have the cour-
age to DO SO, they could improve their
condition by going onto small piece
Of land and at least raising to a great
extent the foods they stand in need of.
and so in a measure place themselves
in a more independent position. But
such a moving on the part of those who
have lived and have been reared in
cities. would require an amount of
energy and courage and initiative that
comparatively few Of them possess. AS
we look at such q situation we can
sympathize with those who have in
mind such a movement when they have
a vocation and habits already formed
by reason Of their city conditions a
man who may be skilled in the par
ticular line Of labor that he may have
followed in the city will have to again
begin as an apprentice upon the mod
ern farm Added to this. he has already
with city life that in all probability he
would be i'll at ease under country

How 10 Coz GOOD Stock.

A very good way to secure good
stock is to improve upon what you al
ready have. Mate some Of your best
females to high class. pure bred sires
Of the breed and breed some of the
very best youngsters. Continue to
breed from the best of sires OF the de-
sired breed and type. Do not change
breed. This means ruin and will
never get you anywhere. Do not sell
the best females; keep them for
breeders If you hope for success. In
q few years you will be surprised at
what good stock you have and what
wonderful improvements you have
made. Another good way to procure
high-class animals quickly is, to start
right in small way. Buy a few
male. a COW or two OF the desired
breed and type and raise your own
good stock. Sell off few poor an
finals and buy one or two good ones
of a reliable breeder and In a few
years you will have all the good stock
you can handle. Sell off the inferior
stuff as the good ones accumulate.
and you will never regret the money
required in the exchange. But, re-
member, you should look out for the
sire. Before you buy stock see to 1t
that a good pure-bred sire of the
same breed to start with is within
reach. Do not patronize a sre Of
another breed unless you expect to
keep a sire yourself This important
matter should not be overlooked.

KNOXVILLE'S SAVAGE BREAST"
Knoxville Express

The Welsh Ladies Choir sang at the
opera house last THURSDAY evening to
a small audience. Knoxville never
takes very enthusiastically TO a high
class musical event, and the small aud
fence in the high-priced seats was not
a surprise: but the worst joke was that
at the conclusion of the first part the
entire audience arose and shambled
out. thinking the show was over. The
glowing accounts in the Des Moines
papers. where they sang Friday night,
showed that we just missed the latter
half of the entertainment. It's bad
enough TO pay a high price and then
lose half the show; But If Alex. Miller
and Hen. Gittinger and the other Iowa
humoris ever hear of this we shall die
Of modification. To think We're so
blooming green, musically, that we
didn't wait for the second part. The
singing was fine. and showed the ef-
feet OF intelligent choice and excellent
training of the voices.
