The Strawpile
Cold storake in the Country.

cold storage warehouses which can be

would be of great service in helping
farmers to preserve farm products. and
that open markets in cities should be
provided with them for the same pur-
pose. Thousands of dollars worth Of
fruits, like strawberries and melons.
are dumped into the sea here in Bos-
ton every summer because they can not
be preserved until the market can take
them.
At the Massachusetts Agricultural
College, we have recently built at q
cost of $4,000 cold storage plant
capable OF storing all sorts of farm
produce. I believe the neighborhood
or town cold storage plant is destined
to work SO great revolution as did
the creamery and cheese factory: not
alone in preserving, but in standard
izing farm products and also in ma
turing those which need maturity to
improve quality. and IN helping the
cause Of cooperation. - Indiana

beginning to ask # after all politics Is
more important than reform. They are
beginning to see that this great ques-
ton is being made the football Of po-
litical expediency. Some OF US are
wanting to know whose fine Italian
hand is at the bottom of this sudden
reversal OF policy, We want to know
what prominent politician wants 10 be

harmony" VINO wants TO be elected

ance folks always keep good naiured
anyway, and swallow any dose fixed up
for them, for they are afraid the dem
ocrats will win, you know, and any
patchwork legislation IS better than
Gem ocratS.
Or can it be that The Register and
Leaders able editorial of about fort
night ago. in which it stated in effect
that temperance legislation could best
be secured by keeping still and passing
a good roads bill. is bearing Its legiti-
mate fruit. What ridiculous twaddle
such a theory is. anyway That edi-
torial was not written by sincere
man but by a trimmer. II was an ex-
cuse, an apology, not a reason. Come
up on higher ground, and be a leader,
not an apologist for political charia-
1anism. Fred a. Moore.

little to be gained and much to be
lost by any mealy mouthed references
to that type Of alleged republican. If
Barnes and the Barnes crowd are to
remain in leadership. if the committee
which conducted the last convention is
to assume full authority it is idle to
dream Of recovering those who most
reluctantly fell away from party as
sociations because they could not
stomach that outfit. To retain them is
suicide. If they shall be able to domi-
nate the party 1t ia ASA ssination.
There Is evident very strong ten
dency among republicans who have
been arrayed against each other In
all honesty within the party to drop
and work together at least
until the fire has been put out. 1t is
emergency and men approach each
other in emergencies. But let us avow
openly what all understand fully that
there is no effective organization pos
sible under the aegis of the Barnes
policy and the Barnes purposes.
1t would be a monstrous pity to see
the mighty party of Lincoln DESTROYED
and scattered by Barnes

WHEN HE HAS TO QUIT,

Take an instance. This one is a bus
mess man and merchant who has held
TO the store day in and day out nights
and Sunday. His has been successful
in business and the man is wealthy.
But he sticks to the store Just the same.
To the suggestion that he leave bus
mess and take a trip around the world
his reply was: Il am not entirely salts
fed anywhere outside the store"
Now the time is coming when that
man must quit. Men grow old and the
time comes when the gcasshopper IS q
burden and WEAKNESS overcomes the
business instinct. He must get out Of
the store some day. What is he to do
when that time comeso With only one
source OF satisfaction how is he to en-
dure life when that one is cut off? Re-
tirement and death are practically
equal in his case. If he sticks il out
along the lines he is following. When
feel very much like an old horse turned
out TO die.
Some men Of the best business juds-
ment lack judgment enough to quit
when they have enough and prepare
themselves to enjoy old age They have
never learned to play. They have gone
round and round Ike the horse that
turns the mill, satisfied with the days
work. But when they can't work what
outlook have they7

necessary to old age and retirement
than food ard shelter. The prisoner in

SPEAKING OF SUICIDE.

Republican leaders In New York are
trying to get rid Of Barnes. chairman
of the alleged republican committee.
Barnes proposes to stick He Will not
resign. he will fight for control. His
henchmen say that he will win in
trenched as he is.
Sam Blythe says the republican par
ty suicided. Mr.. Blythe is wrong. Il
was poisoned by the cooks. Moreover
it isn't dead yet. But the cooks are
striving against every attempted
method of resusic;tation. Barnes is
one of the cooks.
When talk is made of reorganiza-
ton whether by insurgents, progress
sivvss, or sincere standpctters. it in
clndes the retirement of the Barnes
and those of that ilk. Ii is we'll
enough TO base most of the talk or the
elimination Of the southern delegate
as a dominant feature of conventions.
That makes for kindness in converse
ton and avoids certain localized sore
spots but all understand that the
widest gulf between republicans was
digged BY the Barnes type. There is

RAISING A QUESTION.

A question which is being considered
in New York City is Of interest where
ever public Improvement Of the same
character are being carried on The
new subway will damage a very con
siderably amount OF property in one
way and another for which the own
ers must be compensated ~ payment.
The city which is making the subway
pays the damage from the pockets of
the taxpayers. Nobody objects TO this.
The owners Of the damaged property
have It coming.
The question that Is being raised
doesn't concern those damaged But
there are other property owners whose
property values will be Intensely in
creased by the subway. The question
concerns these and the taxpayer. The
additional values thus created would
pay the cost of building the sgb%a?
The question raised is Ought the
properly owner whose property is thus
enhanced TO pay part Of the unearned
Increment toward the cost Of the i'm
provement which created the added
added value Of his property
The question IS Of interest alike TO
those VINO pay damages. no pay ior
the Improvement and to those who by
accident of location find their holdings
vastly increased in valuation. If the
city pays damage ought the city to take
its share Of the unearned increase?

In fact surface indications point to
the fact that the house, which started
out SO bravely on temperance legis-
lation, has suddenly experienced a
change Of heart and will probably
shelve all temperance legislation. Why ?
Can it be that they have heard from
the people of Iowa and that no suc,l
legislation is desired? Have they be-
come convinced that our people who
have in the past five years put IS per
cent OF the saloons of the state out of
business, are tired Of the fight and
want a rest? Don't believe it. We
must look elsewhere for reason.
Can it be that the senate apathy and
Indifference. fostered and directed as it
is by the man whom we elected lieu
tenant governor knowing his open and
pronounced liberal views on the liquor
question, preferring even that to the
awful danger Of democracy" is at last
having it's deadening effect upon the

Can it be that Governor Clarke's fail

sible? I am reliably informed that his

Grain and Quality Of Butter.

The character Of the food frequently
influences the quality Of the butter. The
white. hard, tasteless character of
winter butter results from the food
given. Fresh pasture, bright legume
hays. corn silage and soilrg crops give
color TO the milk and to butter. Wheat
bran makes harder butter than either.
If much Of gluten is introduced into
ration. the butter will be soft. but its
hardness may be improved by the use
of cotton-Seed meal a feel that makes
a very hard butter BY mixing the two
a better grade of butter will be OBJ
tanned than If either is used alone. A
pound or two of cottonseed meal when
the COWS are on pasture helps TO coun-
teract the Objectionable softness Of
butter during the pasture season.

The average farmer should treat his

It !s possible to treat oats for smut in
February. but two complications may

after they are treated, and II they are
not dried out, but are stored while

NECESSARILY INEFFICIENT.
TDes NoineS Register and Leader

This legislature bids fair to en-
phasize one of the most serious mis-
takes of our legislative bodies.
Il promises TO rush thru a great
many important measures al the last
moment with little or no consideration,
after having wasted weeks in the start
on unimportant bills and in incense
quential debate.
There is a want of system in Ameri-
can legislative procedure that must be
remedied in some way as the pubic
business becomes more complex and
legislative mistakes more costly.
Too little time is given to the prep
aration Of laws. and the relative i'm
portance of measures up for consid-
GRAFTON is too little taken into account
Under the English system there is a
RESPONSIBLE ministry speaking for the
prevailing sentiment OF The community
which prepares and submits measures
of state importance. the general as
sembly sitting more as a jury to hear
the debate and vote the leaders up or
down
There must come leadership in
American administration. The Regis
ter and Leader believes in the state.
the governor must be the leader, and
in the nation the president. No pro-
gram can be carried thru otherwise.
In any event, We might as we'll rec
cgnize first as last that $50 citizens
can no be picked out OF the body poll
tic more or less at random, and
brought together without much ac-
quaintance with each other. or with
state problems. or with law writing.
and in 100 days work out consistent
and effective body of laws without

Profitable Breeding.

A string of 4S6-puond calves sold
here this week at s7.35, a feeder paying
that price for them. 7hey crossed
1882 per head
The COWS producing these calves
were not worth more than $50 per head
proi,ab bly,. and the bull about 800. That
there is money in cattle breeding I'M
der these circumstances is palpabie.
For years to come the bulk Of the
profit accruing from cattle breeding will
60 into the pocket of the breeder, and
the finishers' margin will be small. The
steer man has had his innings.
That there are many VINO believe beet
cattle breeding is profitable on corn
belt land is indicated by the establish
ment Of innumerable COW herds. AL
tho cost may look high under present
conditions, the first calf will realize
enough money to make the investor
forget about the price of corn.-Chicago

THE SPEEDERS.

Sioux CITY Tribune.l
The Sioux City police department is
making an effort TO stop reckless driV-
ing of automobiles on the city streets.
There are occasional arrests and fines,
probably all that can be apprehended
with the present force and facilities for
securing evidence.
But the proportion of arrests to the
number of speeders is as one to great
unknown quantity. The risk is so
slight for the drivers that they can af-
ford 70 take chance on any but
the most crowded streets. There isn't
ia great deal OF protection for pedes-
tr;ans in the record Of arrests and con-
victions in the past year. They are pro-
tected largely by their own watchful-
ness and agility in lodging. The rec
ord is rather encouraging 10 the speed
ers.
What is wanted is not SO much more
police vigilance as such enforcement OF
the law as they have in Bow street. An
officer in Rotten Row merely holds up
his hand to q reckless driver and he
appears in court in the morning and
pays his fine If he has to be semi 10.
the fine is doubled. A lot of things are
splenGiGly done III England. All this
system requires is for the court TO work
with the oficvers.
