Twenty car loads of Illinois farmers
are said to have paBsed through Dubu
que on the Illinois Central during a
few weeks past. They have sold their
Illinois farms for 9100 an acre and are
buying Iowa farms at about 933 an
acre. Those Iowa farms will be worth
$100 in the course of a few years.
Iowa lands are better than Illinois
landB.—Cedar Rapids Republican.
The counties of the state now have
over 8300,000 of school money in their
possession which they are unable to
loan at the rate of 6 per cent required
by Btatute. The law requires that thi*
money shall be loaned in sums of 8500
when possible, but it may be loaned
in sums not to exceed 81,000 and it
must be loaned on real estate, but not
necessarily on farm property. There
is no demand at this time for loans in
Buch sums and at this rate of interest
and the counties do not know what to
do with the money. It is a peculiar
condition and a new one in Iowa.—
Sioux City Tribune.
Senator Piatt, of Connecticut, struck
the bull's eye of truth when he told the
senate a few hours before final adjourn
ment that tbe session of congress juBt
then closing would go on record as the
most extravagant ever held, but he
started too late if he really expected to
stop any of the extravagance. A care
ful consideration of a number of the
appropriation bills will show that a
concerted grab game was played from
the start to finish. In the wind-up,
when (lie bills were in conference and
some things had to be thrown over
board to reach an agreement, the appro
priations of those having the weakest
"pnll" had to go. Senator Warren, of
Wyoming, Wilson of Washington,
Carter of Montana, and several others,
who had been admitted to the game in
its early stages, publicly protested when
they found themselves buncoed.by the
conference report, but that didn't do
them any good in the senate and will
probably not do them any good at
home.—State Advertiser.
The Trust Disease.
(From the Now York World.)
In the course of a discussion of the
trusts from the Wall street or purely
flnancialifstandpoint in the Evening
Post on Saturday these statements were
made
That the output of new trust stocks
and bonds last year was upward of
81,000,000,000.
That for the first two monthB of this
year the output was 81,106,300,000.
That the indications are that the
total output for this year will be six
times as great as it was last year —up
ward of 811,000,000,000.
That as atypical illustration of the
rapid growth of monopoly and the
rapid decline of individual enterprise,
Chicago had no more business Arms In
1S9? than It bad In 1870, although-: in.
those twenty-seven years its population
had been multiplied by eight.
fhe truet therefore, Is qnderqiinlng
the Qnaqoial as well as the political
health of the nation. Yet we have no
"home problems!"
Many women seek a broader sphere
than art and home and fashion'offer.
The vortex of speculation entices them,
and the bauble gold llaahrs before their
eyes.' Their argument is tha( if g)en
accumulate fortunes in Wall Street, a
woman of equal intelligence should
succeed as well. These women are not
faBt in the vulgar sense they do not
belong to the class that frequent the
race track. The majority of them have
no vices their habits are no worse
than thoBe of the leaders of fashion, but
they are born gamblers, like men who
spend their tipie in gaining p)ap$s.
TJie necessary password Jor the gild
ed youth to enter a gambling house is
not essential for a woman desiring ad
mission to the gambling places of Wall
Street. Money is the magic wand she
waves to insure her welcome. She
enters Bome fine office a queen radiant
with gems, she leaves it a beggar.
Wgqaef] who speculate insist that
they do not gambfe, b\it oply invest.
They argue from falBe premises An
investment implies something paid for
and held, like real estate, or bonds or
Btocks jopkpd in a safe. T^e only
money-maker in Wall Street of either
sex represent this clasB of iny«stors,

Tbe llrst phgBe of colored suffrage
lasted ten years, or until the Bpring of
1877. It is not a decade to which any
man or party can look back with en'

as it is, it is a story of incompetency on
the part of the black man, and of ex
travagance and corruption on tt\e rart

to a practical standstill, the old order of
society was broken up and political

a period, crime and corruption are sure
to tlourlsh. And as this period of
change in the South ^ainpldent

occurring then have been charged to
black supremacy. Hut, making full

to mark this period as one of the most

Hark! they seem to howl and shriek,
To their force the bare trees bowing
In lis hurry down the creek,
Like tornado In Its wlldness,

Far from balmy June In mildness
How It wildly sweops aleng.
Through the pines In swaying courses
Not In softest zephers breeze,
But In strange tumultous forces
Leaves It tearing through the trees.
Gusts of wind the snow Is whirling,

With the clouds fantastic swelling
Tells the winds wild force Is thero.

Animals Abroad.
ByH. M. B.
Holland Is a veritable paradise for
animals. Hundreds Qf cows dqt the
landscape in every direction, and with
the wind-mills for a background they
make very pretty pictures.
In Switzerland they shut many of the
cows up In dark, stifling little stables a
great part of tbe time. One reason for
it, they say, is that cowb kept in this
wiy give rloher milk bnt it cer
tainly oannot be aa wholesome. Another
reason is that in Switzerland there are
no fences, or very few, and somebody
must watcb the animals when they are
out, or perhaps they would jump over
the mountains! Hew in HOUand^oa'f
tbe oontrary, not even the pigs are shqt
upinstya and compelled to be ?|thy.
They have as mqch freedom as the
cows, and roam about with them and
the sheep and the horses in the same
pastures, bounded by canals which they
do not venture to cross. In describing
a Dutch farm in Qroningen, a writer
says, "when the weather demands that
they (the animals) shall be brought be
neath shelter, the pigs, are washed, the
cowb are pnrrled and blanketed, and
their tails are suspended to a wire (?).
The flooring of the sty and stable is
made of brick and slightly Inclined, and
they are as thoroughly scrubbed as a
floor In a house. The pigs in Holland
at least, are kept fairly clean.
Ia American oltlet and towns many
cab horses stand for hours under the re
straint of the over-head check-rein,
which is not loosened for a moment.
Is it not time to discard it and give the
American horse a fair show and a fair
chance lie is not so unlike the horse
of other countries as to require differ
ent and harsher ^treatment.—Our
Animal Friends.
Sugar Production in Iowa
Beet sugar production has made sub
stantial progress in tbe United States
during the past year, notwithstanding
the interruption of the Spanish war,
and the consequent acquisition of some
of the richest sugar producing islands
on the globe. Without doubt these
events had a depressing effect for a
time and tended to retard the invest
ment of capital in Dromotlng this enter
prise, but since the policy of the gov
ernment toward these islands has be
come better understood, a feeling of
confidence has been restored and interest
iq sugar production has been revived.
Michigan, New York, California and
Minnesota have new factories that have
been in successful operation during the
past season. There are now eighteen
factories in the United States in run
ning order having a* total capacity of
13600 tons of beets daily, and contracts
have been let for eight more to be
erected in 1899-one in Illinois, one in
Colorado and five in Michigan.
Investigations In sugar beet growing
have been continued with very gratify
ing results at the Experiment station
at Ames and at many other points in the
slate during the year. These results
clearly confirm the previously express
ed conviction that Iowa,particularly the
northern two-thirds of the state, lies
within the belt of profitable sugar pro
duction, and that' the state is entirely
capable of producing Its own sugar
an agricultural and manufactured pro
duct for which it is now expending over
86,000,000 annually. Not only this but
it can also produce sugar for other states
less favorably situated and immeasur
ably improve the system of agriculture
and Btock raising now prevailing.
On tbe Station grounds, the experi
ments included the different methods
of cultivation before and after seeding,
thinning to different distances in the
rows, and different widths between
the rows, the application of Bait and
lime and various barnyard manuresf
The. commercial fertilizers have been
tested In former experiments and it
haB been quite conclusively Bhown that
the production of high grade sugar
beets is practicable without the aid of
any of these expensive methods Any
good corn land in Iowa will produce
sugar beets. This 1b a marked advantage
over foreign sugar producers, as in Ger
many, the sugar beet lands sometime*
-.Wjjrp as high as 810.00 to 815.00 worth
of commercial fertilizers per aore, The
aldSifjBrpfWgkiy taaiplee -taken- frAm
twenty plots on the Station grounds at
different dateB is given below.
These beets average considerably
richer in sugar and higher in purity
than the minimum standard for profit
able manufacturing, and some that
were even better have been forwarded
from other points in the state.
The Iowa Kxperiment Station has on
hand a large quantity of high grade im
ported beet seed tl^at will be distributed
to those who are sulllciently interested
to grow the beets carefully according
to Instructions that will be sent, and
samples of the beets will be analysed
free and Ijhe results reported. Com
^unities that are desirous of securing a
factory, however, should organize at
once and employ an expert to superin
tend the work of preparing the soli and
cultivating, growing and gathering the
crop Much Tyi^ depend on uniformity
of good results in any community
where the erection of a faotory la con
templated and this oan only be attained
by entrusting the supervision of the
work to an experienced beet grower.

FARMERS,
Why Not Sow Wheat This SprlngP
Th time is near at hand when
you should begin seeding. The
wheat question has not received
the attention the past few years
that it should. There is a large
demand for good wheat the year
round, and a number of farmers
were fortunate in sowing a few
acres of wheat last season, with a
good yield, which brought them a
snug sum of money. fe®
It pays to sow wheat and there
is no reason why you cannot sow
a few bushels and be well paid for
it. We are quite anxious to have
lots of wheat sown this year, and
have therefore made arrange
ments for a car of choice spring
seed wheat, which we will let go
at cost in order to further the in
terest in the matter. Think this
