OMNIBUS OF EVIL.

The lull in Mexico may portend a
storm-how terrible no one can say.
We quote herewith paragraphs from
an editorial in the washington Times,

eminent, and presumably informed re-

Iof which is unknown to the public.
Here In Washington IT is well

Prof. W. H. Taft, former president
of the United States and now lecturer
at Yale, in opening his course on law
there discussed the necessity of the
political party in legislation and tried
to show that the majority never actu-
ally rules. He spoke OF the recent
success of the new school of political
philosophy which has arisen in the
last ten years to support direct forms
OF legislation and to undermine the
constitution. He said that he and
others who did not agree with the
methods of the Progressives have TO
be content to be called reactionaries.
He urged the Democrats to go ahead
and give the country trial of free
trade.

No INCREASE IN IOWA INSANE.
Members Of the state board Of con
troll and heads of the state institu-
tons do not believe there has been
any material increase in the aggregate
number Of insane in Iowa in recent
years or that the proportion of insane
to sane has altered in recent years.
But the fact is that the number u
insane who are recognized as such
and are placed in institutions for their
care and treatment has very greatly
increased. There are now over 5,T9G
insane in state. county and private
institutions In the state It is point
ed cut, however, that a great many
are now placed in the state hospitals
for care and treatment who would no.,
have been admitted few years ago
or rather who could no. have been
adjudged by local boards as fit sub
jects for treatment for mental dis,
orders. The tendency has been to
include in the class of insane a greas
many who we're formerly regarded as
only slightly eccentric or deficient.

MAY Is BUILDING HER HOUSE.
May is building her house. With apple
blooms
She is roofing over the glimmering
rooms;
OF the oak and the beech hath she
builded it's beams,
And, spinning all day at her secret
looms,
With arras of leaves each wind
swayed wall
She pictureth over, and peopleth 1t all
With echoes and dreams,
And singing of streams.
May is building her house. OF petal
and blade,
OF the roots of the oak is the flooring
made,
With carpet Of MOSES and lichen
and clover,
Each small miracle over and over,
And tender travelling green things
strayed.
Her windows, the morning and even
ing star,
And her rustling doorways, ever ajar
With the coming and going
Of fair things blowing,
The thresholds of the four winds are.
May is building her house. From the
dust of things
She is making the songs and the
flowers and the wings;
From october's tossed and trodden
gold
She is making the young year out of
the old;
Yea, out of winters flying sleet
She is making all the summer sweet,
And the brown leaves spunned OF
Noyember's feet
She is changing back again to
springs.

THE 100 HusHEL PER ACRE CROP.

THE 100 BUSHEL PER AChE Nnor'
The latest weekly bulletin OF the
Illinois Farmers Institute contains an
Interesting article on THE 100 Bushel
Per Acre Crop that is as applicable
in Iowa as in our sister state across
the river.
Strenuous efforts are put forth
throughout the country to encourage
the production OF lar yields pei
acre of corn and other farm crops.
Commercial associations, manufacture
ing corporations as well as county,
state and national governments are
willing to appropriate large sums OF
money for use in urging farmers to
coax the land to give up more OF Its
fertility in the form OF grain and live
stock. Men are sent oLt to preach 100
Bushel Per Acre Crops and their
principal argument is Better Seed
Selection, Better Preparation of
Seed Bed . Better Cultivation" etc,
but many of these evangelists do not
understand and present the funda
mental facts of 100 per acre crop.
Thorough preparation of seed bed,
intelligent selection of seed, and good
cultivation are yitall..- essentiai and
must be employ ed. but to attempt to
grow the 100 bushel crop by these
means alone is like trying to build a
house by constructing the roof before
laying the foundation. The founda-
ton of a 100 bushel -er acre crop is
a fertile sofia soil containing suffi-
cient pant food elements to produce
such abundant cropsa soil SO intelli-
gently drained as that these elements
in plant food solution shall not be
weakened by over dilution.
Some people forget that fertile
soil is living. breathing thing, we'll
fed by nature, or by the hand of man,
with the natural mineral elements
and the organic matter necessary for
the use of the soil bacteria in the
of plant food, and for a
delightful environment in which they
can live and work.
Some people forget that 6. worn
soil is a hungry sofia soil whose
breathing is difficult because its or
ganic matter is exhausted. and whose
natural mineral elements of plant
food have been depleted through con-
slant cropping soil that does not
furnish a suitable home for the manu-
featuring Bacteria soil that con-
stantly pleads through its stunted,
scrawny, half-nourished plant growth,
for material with which to satisfy its
hunger, and from which Its bacteria
may manufacture food for the sup
port OF its vegetation. One hundred
bushei per acre crops are never
grown on such soil, and a resort to
stimulants In the form of so-called
complete fertilizers" only hasten
land ruin.
Natures remedies and methods for
curing the Ills of man, beast, or soil,
are always the best and most econ.
omicai. So we must learn the simple
lesson that wherever the necessary
elements of plant food are
deficient, whether it is because they
never were deposited in sufficient
quantity by nature or whether they
have been exhausted by erosion on re-
peated cropping we must not only re-
turn them in their natural form, but
we must make them available for
plant food by supplying organic mat
ter in abundance No considerable
increased crop yields will be realized
until these facts are thoroughly un-
derstood and methods involving their
adopted.
