and an excess of cellulose which
renders some western apples in
disestibie" And so on.
Don't believe it. Perhaps 1t is in
a measure true of some far west
apples under irrigation but an Iowa
apple from an orchard properly
sprayed and cared for is as good
and digestible an apple as the earth
affords. It is juicy and melts in the
mouth.
Time was when the middle west
imagined that there was no place
on earth to borrow money or seek
leadership in finance and politics
and all else except east Of Erie. 1t
required many years to convince
that it wasn't so. We began to
breed fine stock and have the finest.
We began, to assert leadership and
have it. We are beginning to look
upon an orchard as requiring some
small attention and we are raising
apples as fine as any that ever hung
from the trees in New York--when
we cultivate and care for our trees.
i We ought to raise all the apples
Iowa ca.1 use and then some. There's
euod money in it and good apples.
Never mind about the lind sesti-
bllity' OF an Iowa apple. We can
digest our apples out here in Iowa.
We have the digestion in the first
place and secondly an Iowa apple Is
quite as diSestible as any brought
couple Of thousand miles in a barrel
and sold at exhorhitant prices.
Try an IowaNapple.

HOUSING THE FARla.HkNDS.

One suggestion that should be
housing problem is that farmers who
need help and have much trouble
finding the kind of help they require
| might assist their own and the gen
eral problem by the erection OF neat
and comfortable tenant houses for
help
A good house attracts all kinds of
people. A poor tenement. set down
on the waste patch of ground, tree
less and unattractive inside and out
attracts only those who are unable
to supply themselves better or are
content to live in such homes. A
good man deserves a good house to
| live In. If he is actually a good
! man" he will have it when. he can
get it. If he can't find it on the far
| he will go where it is and where he
can live as well as his income will
permit him to do.

We're obtainable in the country, men

THE SOLUTION.

This question of the cost of living
is all very simple. It's merely the
law Of supply and demand, If the
price Of one article is so high. boy
colt it and substitute another. Which
leads logically to the following solu-
ton of the food problem:
In order to reduce the cost OF
meat, let everybody eat fish.
In, order to reduce the cost of fish
let everybody eat fruit.
In order to reduce the cost of fruit
let everybody eat vegetables.
In order to reduce the cost Of vege-
tables let everybody eat bread.
In order to reduce the cost OF
bread, let everybody eat spaghetti.
In order to reduce the cost Of
spaghetti, let everybody eat meat
In order to reduce the cost tot
meat-vwell, it's as simple as that.

One of the Ettest developments in

ible RATS ancf ored in position, but
free to give wi h the rise ana fall of
the water, viii, h is now being tried
On the east bank of the Missouri
river near Fols )m, Iowa.
The RATS are built of logs and are
not only strong and durable, but ex-
ceedingly flexible in every direction.
The handling If the RATS was sim
plified by builCing them on barges,
which were towed to the location
desired. where the RATS were made
fast by cables unniEg from the cen
ters and joints to anchor piles, each
pile holding two sections, and the
barges pulled Q ut under them, old
boiler flues thr AIDED on light cables
being used as rollers. Reinforced
concrete piles ere used for anchors.

ADVENTURES IN BUNCOMBIA.
The Notables.

One day Numbered the traveller
sough to learn about the great men
of Buncombia. So he stopped a citi-
zen on the street and he asked:
Who are the, greatest men in
Buncombia 2"
The answer came promptly:
Babe Wrath"
A second and third and a fourth
and even a tenth Numbered stopped
| and always the answer was the
| same. Then he waylaid the exalted
| chieftain of yours. this great man,
Babe WRATH"
The Buncombian laughed heartily
| and in his quaint language said:
Where dye get that stuff? Babes
our champ batter-the greatest
slugger who ever crossed the plate"
And Numbered wondered. and ne
sought more light, And he learned
that the high exalted chieftain re-
ceived but fifty shekels a year, while
an actor whose ridiculous walk
caught the fancy of the crowd re-
ceived more than one thousand
shekels every six moons. And he
learned that the laborer who laid
the sewers In Buncombia's streets
was paid far more than the teacher
In the schools.
Once more Numbered went into
the streets Of Buncombia and he
asked:
Who is the greatest professor IN
the land?' "
OF twenty men he asked the ques-
ton and none could answer it,
Then he went to the head Of the
Buncombian university and he
learned that the man he sought was
Prof. John Brainhead.
Once more he went to the high
ways and he asked:
Where shall l find Professor
Brainhead?'
And one citizen said: What team
does he play on?"
And another said: Whats he
running for?"
And a third said: Il don't know
no Greeks"
And MIN blerod wondered at the
ways of Buncombia.

Answers to Previous Que-t.ons.
/. How do the hermit crab ana
the sea -anemone cooperate?
The little hermit crab has no shell
of its own, so it takes for its hap.-
tation the shell Of some other sea-
animal, often that of the whelk. i3p-
on this shell the ea-anemone often
grows, and reaps it's advantage IN
being moved about from place TO
place by the crab. And the crab
finds it's advantage in the co-part-
nership in the tentacles of the ane-
none which comes down near the
head of the crab and seem co afford
it some measure of protection.
=. Are baby birds fed in rotation?
That there is a method in the feed
ing of young birds, or that they are
fed in regular order, 1 cannot be-
lieve. Which Of the young will get
the next morsel is probably matter
Of chance, but doubtless the result
averages up very evenly in the
course of an hour of two.
3. Why do animals kill injured
members of their family?
There is a curious instinct which
often prompts animals to fall upon
and destroy member of the flock
that is sick, or hurt, or blind 1t Is
difficult OF explanation. but We may
be quite sure that, whatever the
reason is, the act is not the outcome
of a judicial proceeding in which
judge and jury and executioner all
play their proper part.
1. Can squirrels eat the fruit Of
the poison-ivy without Ill effect?
2. Do birds of prey carry their.
game in their beaks?
8. How must man copy the ani-
mails to learn to swim?
Answers to Previous Questions.
1. What difference in appetite
have the solitary wasps?
When the solitary wasp lays an
egg, she knows whether the egg will
produce male or female: the fe
male grub needs more food than the
male, and the wasp puts five insects
by one and ten by the other. And
yet are we to believe that she counts
in the human way? can not believe
that she does. She does this thing as
automatically and unfailingly as a
machine.
2. Does the blood circulate in the
same direction in all animals?
In all animals that have q circula-
ton the blood takes one definite and
invariable direction except in the
case Of one class OF marine animals,
called ascidlans; In them the heart,
after beating a certain number of
times. stops and begins to beat the
opposite way, so as to reverse the
current; then in moment or two it
changes again and drives the blood
in the other direction.
8. Where does the downy wood
pecker live? -
When the downy woodpecker ex-e
cavates in an upright tree trunk, he
usually chooses a spot beneath
limb; the limb forms a sort or rude
hood. and prevents the rain water
from running down into it. i doubt
whether the driving snow ever
reaches him. and no predatory owl
could hook him out with it's claws.
Near town or in town, the English
sparrow would probably drive him
out; but in the woods. think, he is
rarely molested. &
