The Drought

1t IS Il good thing the American
farmer is the embodiment Of opti-
mism. Recently one Of the old set
tiers and one Of the best know farm
crs in the county was in the Office.
During our chat he stated this was
the worst drought he had ever known,
but in the next breath he stated that
he would raise good crops of some
tkLng, that everything never failed.
He had never seen total failure.
This man is going ahead to prepare
FOR the good crops ahead instead Of
bemoaning the ruined ones behind.
Did you ever think of it? This is the
optimistic disposition Of our farmers.
If il wasn't, they wouldn't last long.
Cheer up, it will rain some day and
you had better be ready for it. Have
you gotten your catch crops planned +?
Where is your winter roughness COM
ing from? Meanwhile don't sit down
and wait but keep the civilizations,
harrows and old mower wheel drags
running.

SiIos

there was such a thing in this country,
which there isn't, would look like

cattle upon hurnt-up pastures. a
dry year like the present Is just the
year for a silo to reap a harvest oil
dollars for you. Hay will be scarce
there is yet time for a good crop OF
corn, especially for the man who
keeps the soil constantly stirred be
tween the rows, all Of this corn crop
should be canned up and saved so as
to feed in the most advantageous and
economical manner and with the least
possible expenditure Of time and la
Dor. A silo will pay for its erection
the first year under present condl-
lions and in all succeeding years pay
50 to 100 per cent on the investment.
Can you make your money return you
any higher rate of interest?
A silo should be built early for
many reasons. II il is concrete IT
will have time to set and settle before
being filled. II stave you should
get your order in before the seasons
rush. You get better material and the
company has more leisure in which
to fill your order, and then you avoid
the possibility of not being able to get
your order filed at all as was the case
with some parties last year when.
after the drought, farmers began to
realize that n sllo was their only sal
walton and swamped the manufactur-
ers with orders. No matter what
kind Of silo you erect, have 1t FIN
ished in plenty Of time to get busy
filling Just when the corn is ready to
20 in. This time will he earlier dur
ing a dry summer and fall than an
average year. Don't get caught. BE

A Visit

While on the subject of slos, |
want to tell Of a very interesting Wis
it made recently to one Of the farms
that is the happy posscsser of one of
those feed factories. This young man
is going to practice year rotation
in which he will have lcgume on his
ground at some period each year,
thereby adding nitrogen to the soil.
as his ground won't raise clover sue
cessfully at present, cowpcas and soy
beans will necessarily take its place.
Two crops of rye in the three years
will be pastured off and turned under
to add humus. The manure made
from the cows fed on silage and oat
and legume hay will be reinforced
with raw rock phosphate. to add phos-
phorous in the cheapest and most
iasting form, will be turned under
with the last crop Of rye for corn.
One round of this rotation and good

JAMES MADISON
on MONOPOLIES

a newly discovered essay of Presi-
dent Madison was recently printed
for the first time in Harper's Maya
zine Cautiously enough the document
deals with Monopolies, Corporations,
Pcrpctuties, ETC., and for the reason
it is Of peculiar interest. 1t begins
rs follows:
"Nonopolics though in certain cases
useful ought to be granted with eau
tion. and guarded with strictness
against abuse. The constitution of the
United States has limited them to
two cases-the authors of books, and
of useful inventions, in both which
they are considered as compensa-
tion for benefit actually gained to
the community as a purchase of prop
erty which the owner might other
wise withhold from public use. There
can be no just objection to a temper
AIRY monopoly in these cases.. but it
ought TO be temporary because under
that limitation a sufficient recompense
and encouragement may he given.
The limitation is particularly proper
in the case Of inventions, because
they grow so much out of preceding
ones that there is the less merit in
the authors; and because, for the
same reason. the discovery might be
expected in a short time from other
hands.
"Nonopolies have been granted in
other countries, and by some of the
states IN this, on another principle.
that Of supporting some useful under
taking, until experience and success
hnult render the monopoly unneces-
sary, and lead to salutary compel
il.'T This was the policy OF the mon
opDIy granted in Virginia to Col. J.
Homes to establish a passenger
tagc frOm--to-- But grants of
,his sort can be justified in ver' pc
rIiiai cases only, If at all; the danger
being very great that the good result

DIV. VIII he ovcrbalanccd by the evil
effect of the precedent; and il being
not Impossible that the monopoly it.
SELF On It's original operation, may
produce more evil than good.
in all cases Of monopoly, not cx-
crr,ing those in favor Of authors and
+ luycwors, it would he well to reserve
t. the state, right to cXtlnguish the
monopoly by paying a specified and
reasonable sum. This would guard
AGAINST the public discontcnts result

tons combined with thcm."-EX.

ANOTHER EXPLODED THEORY

Prior to the last session Of Con-
grcaa corn was ON the protected list,
having a duty Of IL cents per hu2hcl
agni.at it, Now 1t is on the free
list and since the duty has neen re-
moved, howlcrs against the admins
tratIon, rs we'll rs spectators wish.
ing 10 make killing" by forcing
down the price, have been talking the
importation Of corn from South Am
erica, and especially from Argentine
the only South American country
which produces much corn--in large
quantities, holding that the market for
the American farmer glutted aud his
prices will be destroyed!
Congressman Henry T. Rainey. of
illinois, has devoted some time and
thought recently to an investigation
OF the matter. People have been in
cliaed to give some crrdence to the
stories just az they will to any tale
which sounds probable, and about
which they are unimfnrned. but the
result Of his Investigations shows that
there is little cause for worry.
There are about. 10000, 900 acres
Of corn grown on the American con-
tinent. Of this erea, L50. 00, 900 acres
are in the United States and about
I0,000,0 900 acres in Argentine. The
corn grown there is OF n peculiar char
acter, baing of very small and hard
] grains and is never fed to stock un-
less it is first ground. The Argen-
| tinians export their corn and fattep
their cattle for export on alfalfa. Qt
course some Argentine corn is inn
| ported into this country, but prap.
ticnlly all Of it is used in the mannkac>
| turer of glucose and syrups. becnnfss
! it gives rich color to them. u clos,
imitation Of maple, and these pro
ducts are usually shipped abroad (snt
probably sold as genuine American
maple.)
Argentine raises annually less corr
than either Iowa or Illinois and thi
country has imported from her il
any one year rather less than the pro
duction Of one of the foremost cor
producing counties of either Of thes
states or Missouri. Last year the cor
shortage in the United States was es
timated at from COG, 000, 900 to TOO
600, 900 bushels-near the latter fig
uye perhaps-and still we produce
6S per cent Of the total production
the world. 1t will take the combine
crops of four years in Argentine t
equal the deficit of last year, eve
should every bushel be shipped her,
So any talk Of serious menace t
prices on account of the removal o
the duty from corn is nothing shor
of absurd, so far as Argentine or an
South American country is concerned
Indeed the available figures for las
year show that although every cour
try in Europe produced some corr
the combined production last year wa
hardly equal to the shortage alon
in the United States, therefore,
would look like there is no DANCE
from that quarter. These are fact
which have been ascertained by care
full and painstaking inquiry and ar
authenic.
So why worry about the corn mar
ket Eek.

Theodore Roosevelt spent few
strenuous days here last week. He
called on President Wilson; took a
peep ut the mounted specimens he
procured in Africa for the National
Museum; dined and held reception
at the new Willard; delivered. long
rambling lecture before the GcOgra-
phic Society on his South American
explorations: conferred vita a score
of Bull Moose; and then shook the
dust off his shoes. Incidentally we
believe he added few names to the
membership of the Ananias Club.

basis for peace in Mexico will soon be

hasn't rained is no reason the soil
won't form, after few days, little

as an invisible vapor. Cultivate and
