MASON CITY AND THE GREEKS.
Waterloo Courier1

No one doubts but that the officials
and better citizens of Mason City will
handle the Greek problem with which
the municipality is suddenly confront
ed, by the arrest Of several Of the
number OF the foreign population by
United States immigration officials, in
the best and most satisfactory manner.
The arrest Of the four alleged pander-
ers. or white slavers," who were os-
tensibly engaged in reputable business,
is sufficient evidence Of the fact that
the people of the city do not intend to
close their eyes and allow hellish con-
dftions to continue. Other cities in
the state may be harboring the same
brand Of vampires as was discovered
in the capital Of Cerro Gordo county.

WOMEN TEACHERS.

dubuque Telegraph Herald.]
The Des Moines Tribune is not con-
vincing when it compares the action Of
the Board of Education Of New York.
which discharged Mrs. Pexiotto as
teacher because she bore a child, to
the course of Iowa's parole board.
If an Iowa board of education should
refuse to employ a married woman,
the mother of children, as teacher
in the schools, hard headed judg-
ment would sustain it.
The same opinion does not sustain
the New York board because the
amount on which family can live in
Iowa in decent circumstances and put
little money aside would be neces-
sary in New York to pay single item
of living cost, the rent in a respect
able and cultured neighborhood.
The average man thinks it all right
for married woman to work on SAL
airy when she has to do it to live. but
considers that her place is in her home
il the earnings of her husband are
sufficient to support her and their
family.

BARBARIAN IOWA.

Cedar Rapids Republ1can.J
The national agricultural depart
ment has come to the conclusion that
even the crow is useful bird, provid-
ed there are not too many Of them in
one place. The crows ought to see to
it that they keep themselves properly
distributed. But what would an Iowa
landscape be without few crows?
They belong to the rural scenes and
to the woods. In Iowa we have Of
fered bounty for the killing of
crows. which is an enactment of bar
bariSm.

such walls are serviceable
The best Of all side walls for poultry
houses, however, are made Of drop sid :
ing, nailed to good studding. This kind
OF siding Is thick and tongue and
grooved. When in place, 1t makes Q
very strong wall and one that will not
let wind thru even after shrinkage by
seasoning. If it is painted, as all hem
houses should be, 1t makes wall abso-
lutely impervious to winds and damp
ness. Besides its serviceableness, 1t
makes neat and beautiful walls. Its
cost is only fraction greater than the
cost Of other kinds Of board siding. 1t
Is worth much more than any other
kind.
One reason why so many hens fall
to lay eggs In winter and are so much
affected by roup, Is that they are not
protected on the rocets at night. Cold
Winds blowing thru the house, are
what give them the roup and reduce
their egg laying. If tight side walls are
provided and tight dropping board
furnished below the perches. the hens
will be protected and comfortable on
the coolest and windIest night The
front may be open or closed with
screening or windows. The hens need
fresh air, but they must be protected
against drafts at night.

sERIO-CoMIc ARGUMENT.
[Sioux City Tribune.]

A railroad in southwestern Kansas
has appealed to the public utilities
commission of that state for an adj
vance in passenger rates from to 3
cents, giving as its reason for the re-
quest that in years past the section
raised fine wheat and did good
cattle business. but for the last two
or three years the wheat has been very
poor and the cattle also, so rates ought
to be advanced.
Surely as it was written aforetime,
"the poverty of the poor is their de-
struction."

The immortality Of Bad Farming.


fWallace's Farmer.]
In q previous article We have sug-
gested that bad farming is immoral
Perhaps this proposition needs further
calculation.
To begin with, as stated In the
article referred to, the permanence OF
our government and even Of our CIV
;lization depends on the maintenance
of fertility in the soil. When soils lose
fertility, farmers become poor, have
not the means to educat their chill
dren. and the great farming class. that
IS the very backbone OF our republic
its balance wheel losses its influence.
No nation ever has survived. nor
can survive, the decline Of its agricui-
ture. The decline Of the Roman re-
public began when its farmers moved
to town and had their lands cultivated
by slaves. France and Belgium Pros
per because they are nations OF small
farmers, who cultivate their land to itS
utmost limit. England and Ireland are
prospecting because there is no sucn
thing in either country as worn-out
land. America, notwithstanding her
almost limitless resources, can scarce
ly feed her own people much longer.
We need not go far to see the i'm.
morality Of soil robbing. II farm In
any locality becomes worn out, Ssen
tho that wearing out be little moro
than the exhaustion Of the humuS ma
terial in the soil, 1t must expect to have
poor tenant. For good tenant. who
understands his business, will not
waste his time farming WORKOUT land
He may undertake to restore 1t: but
II he is wise, 1t will be done at the
expense Of the owner.
The rule as illustrated In thousands
of instances, Is that the poorer tenants
get the poorer land. Having poor land.
they must continue to be poor, which
means that they lose standing in the
community. They are not able to edu-
cate their children; they are not able
to live as other farmers live. When
this becomes general in any township.
1t means that the schools In that town
ship are poor. It means that immor-
ality becomes common even In the
sports of the young people. 1t means.
in short, a lack Of social influence and
Of political influence on the part OF the
farmers. These are the penalties Tor
soil robbing. which nature imposes
with absolute certainly and unfailinS
accuracy.
Therefore we think we have not TAX
en- too bold stand when we say that
soil robbing. no matter who practices
1t, the owner or the tenant, 10 in its
very nature Immoral. The results We
have pointed out prove this beyond
any possibility Of contradiction. The
land itself has its rights: and II these
rights are violated, If the fertility il
exhausted by bad MANAGEMENT, or un-
Just and unequal laws. 1t takes its re-
venge by growing weeds. "thorns and
thistles.' It is the modern form Of the
primeval curse.

pehornina calvs,.

All calves that are to be kept on the
home place, and especially all heifer
calves that are to be grown for pro-
ducing stock should be dehorned. The
horns on COW may look beautiful. but
that Is all Cattle developed horns in
the wild state as organs Of defense.
Under domestication cattle need no
horns for protecting themselves. They
are useless appendages. A COW with
horns may not only become dangerous
and inf1ict injury to human beings, but
there is always danger of her hooking
and injuring companion cattle and
other animals. A COW with horns and
inclined to be ruler in the herd soon
finds effective use for her horns, con-
stantly fighting all kinds of animals
away from feed and water and making
herself generally obnoxious. Dehorned
cattle are more quiet and they fight
less and sustain fewer injuries. They
derive more good from their feed, with
less hooking There is no quicker or
better way to tame an ugly COW Of her
bad tricks Of hooking and kicking than
by removing her horns with sharp
saw or other instrument.
fhe easiest and least painful way to
dehorn calf is to remove the horns
with cauSt1c potash before they begin
to grow. When removed in this way
the scars heal over and hair over COM
pletely, and the animal becomes horn
less and harmless.
The process OF dehorning calves is
simple. Have on hand small jar of
stick caustic potash, which may be
purchased at any drug store at small
cost. Not later than week after the

Of horns The two horns start under
the skin small button-like growth.
AS soon as these can be felt, clip the
hair closely about the horn buttons
and apply the potash by wetting one
end Of a stick and rubbing on the spots
till the skin Is wet with the chemical.
One application will do the work. Hold
the stick Of potash with heavy paper
to prevent burning the fingers. Keep
the jar tightly closed to prevent the
sticks from melting.

Poultry Hou.a WailaI.

The three main essentials OF a
good poultry house are a tight roof,
solid foundation and tight side walls.
The last Is very important item.
The ususal run of old-style poultry
houses was simply up-an-d down boards
for side walls, seldom with cracks bat
tened. Such side walls are better than
no protection at all against cold winds,
but not much better. AS the board
grow older and season, the cracks be-
come wide to let thru more cold winds
and dampness at seasons when the
hens need most protection. II good
seasoned boards are used IN this way
! and the cracks battened, with walls
painted heavily to seal up all cracks.
