A PAMPHLCT, "HOW to Obtain Patenxa," with
lleiiaced by Trusts.
The Engineering Magazine which is
devoted to a discussion of engineering
problems, and has nothing whatever to
do with politics, thus discusses the great
trust formation period through which
we are now passing:
"The movement toward trust-forming
in the United States—long Bifice unrea
sonable—is taking on at a rate which
threatens to be uncontrollable and to
end in plunging the country to a finan
cial and industrial crash.
It is a curious and apparently con
tagious mania which has seized the
American manufacturer. The great
wit of his economy has passed into mad
ness. Granting that much may be said
in favor of singleness of management,
of the economy of manufacturing on a
vast scale—of the elimination of useless
duplication of plant and managers—the
cases where the argument apply are few,
and even in these, the application is
usually limited
"The trust will succeed and persist
only so far as it succeeds in cheapening
production and distribution and, by
reasonable sharing of the beneflt, in
creases consumption proportionately.
This is the natural evolution of manu
facture and trade, and, as the firm has
sometimes the advantage over the In
dividual, and the corporation over the
firm, still larger consolidations may be
"indicated," as the doctors say, in cer
tain cases.
"But a mere agglomoration of manu
facturing inits effecting no important
savings in process or direction, and
stimulated only by the hope of unusual
profit through stifling competition and
an artificial control of the market, is
economically immoral and a menace to
the community and nation.
"Of this sort are many of the recently
announced American "trusts," weeds of
an ever stimulated financial soil, and
the artificial atmosphere of high tariff.
There Beems to be no course to follow
but that of the Master of the wheat
and the tares: "Let both grow together
until the harvest ', out of the threshings
and chaff-burning of an industrial panic
the sound growth of true enterprise will
endure but the fruit of the trust promo
ter will be known by the bitterness of
his ashes."
A Word to American Fathers.
You may fancy that it is a privilege to
your boy to have you for a father but
it is at least as much a privilege to you
to have him for a son—provided you
area father to him, and not a mere idle
and vicious appendage. And that sort
of appendage is precisely what a large
percentage of American fathers are.
It does not mend matters to say that
you are fond of your children, and, in
proof of it, to paw them and klBa them,
give them toys and candy, picture
books, circus tickets, skates and bi
cycles or to scold them violently and
unjuutly when they happen to get upon
your nerveB, or in your way. An ape
can slobber over its offspring, and give
it nuts or cuff it, as whim may dictate.
Selfishness is at the bottom of our
failure to give proper attention to*our
children it is selfishness all the way
through. We want the fun of having
children, without incurring the liabili
ties. We want to have them around us,
when we are in the humor, and to have
them look nice, and display all suitable
meritB and accomplishments, but we do
not wish to be bothered with the task
of inculcating the same that, we de
volve upon the public school. We
would not allow our most confidential
clerk to engineer a critical deal for us
in the market or on 'Change but we
have no hesitation in permitting a
school teacher, to us unknown, under
paid, tired to death, averse from her or
his occupation probably, and sometimes
incompetent, to determine the lines up
on which our own flesh and blood, with
his immortal soul, is to take his depart
ure in life lines whose direction and
grading will practically settle his
future.—From Public "Schools and
Parents' Duties," by Julian Hawthorne,
in "North American lteview" for April.
Out in Indiana a good many years
ago a certain old lady, summoned as a
witness, came into court wearing a
large poke bonnet, such as was then
much affected by rural folks. Her
answers to the questions put to her be
ing rather indistinct, the court request
ed her to Bpeak louder, though without
much success.
"The court cannot hear a word you
say, my'good woman," said the judge.
Please to take oS that huge bonnet of
yours."
Sir," she said composedly and dis
tinctly enough this time, "the court has
a perfect right to bid a gentleman take
off hiB hat, but it has no right to
make a lady remove her bonnet."
"Madam," replied the judge,'"you
seem so well acquainted with the law
that I think you had better come up
and take a seat with us on the bench."
"I'thank your honor kindly," she re
sponded, dropping a low courtesy to
the court, "but there are old women
enough there already."—Law Notes.
Under the title of "National Bigness
or greatnesar-WhichV Bishop Henry
C. Potter contributes a remarkably
thoughtful article to the "North Ameri
can Review." The Bishop lays em
phasis upon the perils which attend the
policy of annexing distftnt regions in
habited by alien and semi-barbarous
ile. "What we want all around the
world," he suggests, "is a system of in'
ternal government. What we want to
create to day is the highest court of ap
peal, that court of appeal to which na
tions could take their differences Bnd
their problems for final adjudication."
Our exports of agricultural imple
ments to Argentina in the past eight
months as compared with the corre
ponding eight months of the precedin
year jumped ahead nearly fivefoli
This is at once gratifying and omnious.
While we are glad to sell the plows and
mowing machines, we mnst expect to
meet a etift'er competition in the grain
markets of the world from the Argen
tine farmers who t?Be them.—Fnila

If a calf has a ration of half oats and
half corn and half a feed of it or a lit
tle more—that
1B,
a little more than half
of what it would eat up clean if it had
a chance—and if the place of the grass
taken by good clover hay, with
shelter from storms and protection
from excessive cold, with plenty of salt
and pure water, the calf will pay for it
all, even if corn were 40 cents a bUBhel.
We would not feed an all-corn ration,
because the calf requires muscle-form
ing material, and oats and bran are the
cheapest foodB of this kind. We would
not feed all oats or bran, especially in
severe weather, because corn 1B needed
to keep up the beat and round out tha
muscles.—Wallace's Farmer.
Wood Aahes for Oows.
In the early settlement of the country,
when cows had access to newly cleared
land with its burned and charred
Btumps, they used often to go to where
BtumpB had been burned and lick up
the charcoal. Many farmers believe
that cows thus allowed free range were
less liable to absorbtion than those kept
in close stables. The aBhes probably
satisfied some want in the animal econ
omy. It may cave been the phosphate
they contain which .is required by the
bones of the growing foetus. If cows
eat too much tha potash in the ashes
corrects the acidity of their stomachs,
which often results where stock is high
ly fed in stables where it has little exer
cise.
Counterfeit food Products. .Si
An imitation is a counterfeit and a
counterfeit is a fraud per se, and should
have no rights before the law as against
an honest product of the farm. No
matter bow many hired chemists assert
to the contrary, counterfeit food pro
ducts area menace to the health of the
public, and the prosperity of the farm
and the nation. In every state there iB
needed a dairy and food commission to
act as a bureau for the enforcement of
good laws against food, drug and drink
counterfeiting. The only law we have
is the enforced law. This body can,
and in my opinion should, express no
doubtful opinion on these
subjects.—W.
D. Hoard.
IS
The Secret of success.
No permanent rule can be laid down
by which to feed the dairy cattle. No
one feed, no one way of feeding, or no
one amount of feed will suit all condi
tions or all animals. The true secret of
success ID the business lies In the ability
and ingenuity of the dairyman himself.
He must be capable of deciding what
feeds he can use and how he cau use
them to produce the greatest possible
amount of his particular product
milk, etc.—of best quality and with
least expense. Unless he is in buBioess
for fun, his profits will be his success*
and so he must work for that end

Incident lEeralled to Meinor, by th. Death
of an Iowa Woman.
Sioux City. Ia.. March 31.—No North
western pioneer was better known thaa
was Mrs. George W. Young, whose fu
neral was held here Wednesday. Sha
was a daughter of J. W. Earle, who,
with his wife and two children, came
from Wisconsin to Iowa in a prairie
schooner late In the summer of 1862.
They were only a few miles beyond th.
northern Iowa line when an attack was
made
An Illinois farmer who had been sell
ing his milk for two oents a quart
thought he would try for a part of the
trade of a small town near him where
the retail price was five cents. He in
vited the people to come out to biB farm
upon a certain day, and he showed
them over the farm, exhibited his stock
and explained his system of feeding
and general management. Then came
the milking. The milkmen came out
with clean shirts and snow white
aprons,
bringing pails ot hot and cold water.
They thoroughly washed their hands
and than the udders and teats of the
cows with warm water and castile soap,
rinsing them carefully and wiping dry.
The vessels for holding the milk were
bright and clean, the stables and wallB
were clean. The milk was Btrained,
aerated, quickly cooled and placed in a
cool, clean cellar. All the details were
explained to^the visitors as the work
progressed, and they went home satis
fied that there Ihey could obtain clean
and wholesome milk. The next day he

them by a Sioux war party.
The men lied. The women were cap
ture^ and taken north, with the as
surance that they were to be kilUd
later.
For more than a month Mrs. Young,
then a delicate child of 13 years, did
menial service for the braves. Until
the women finally were rescued by Gen.
Silbby's command at Yellow Medicine
they experienced horrors which they
rever forgot. Before the battle the
women were assured that as soon as
the soldiers were beaten they were to
be butchered. The Earles were among
the first residents ot Sioux City. Mrs.
Young was educated and married here.
Zn Governor Jackson's term of office she
was appointed to a place on the com
mittee to visit the state Insane hospi
tals and she held this position until the
board of control assumed charge of ths
state Institutions. She was pres'dent ot
the local Women's Relief corps and
past senior vice president of the state
organisation. Her death was caused by
pneumonia.'
