The large and increasing circulation of The Iowa Homestead in this county is a matter for congratulation to the It!™'a™ publishers and to good farming, for, of •_ all the papers of Its class in the coun try, It is easily the best and most help- ful. Its Special Farmers' Institute editions, issued with tbe regular edition undertaker, the first week In each month, have been for years the admiration of all practi cal farmere. Written wholly by farm ers, they are full of actual experience, and smell of the soil. We have been fortunate enough this season to secure terms for Tbe Homestead and its Spec ial Farmers' Institute Editions,together with The Poultry Farmer ana The Farmers' Mutual Insurance Journal, four of tbe most valuable farm publi cations in tbe country, that enable us to offer the four In connection with our own paper for 81.90 for the entire' live, one year. This is emphatically a geed thing, and no farmer in this county Bhould fall to take advantage of this offer. For a large line of thoroughly practical farm reading nothing has ever been offered before that equals it.

It means a huge benefit to the American farmer and a slight injury to one or another of the great American trustB. And since the trusts are having the say now, the farmer will have to take out his share of the benefits of protection In waiting.—ltocbester Herald. Speaker Henderson, not having tb courage to do the right thing, If th right was objectionable to the president called upon the executive to asceriaii whether be thought well of the bills It congress thanking Admiral Schley f«. his services to bis country. It is re ported that the president climbed righ up on his ear and in a boisterous anc. emphatic manner declared he wanted every one of them suppressed, adding that "If one is passed I will exercise my veto power in dealing with It." We are incliued to the opinion that the presl dent would not veto one of those bills if there were a two-thirds vote in both houses of congress In favor of that bill. The president is very mush given to barking. He will never bite anything bigger than be is.—Clinton Age. A you' Tbe American people are opposed to any ofllclal participation in the cere ponies incident to the coronation of the king of JSngland. It is not because tbe ceremonies are essentially ridic ulous and mere manifestations of the survival of feudal tlunkyism and child Ish love of show, but because the send ing of any envoy to take part In tbe performance would ue national stul tlticatlon. The existence of the Amer ican republic is a denial to the right of Edward or any other man to place a crown upon his head and pretend that be is divinely Invested with a power to rule bis fellows. An American envoy in comic opera clothee, kissing the hand of Edward, would be virtually a dele gate from the repentant rebel colooies begging pardon for bavin? offended bis majesty's gracious ancestor by pro mulgating that 'incendiary document," tbe declaration of independence.— Philadelphia Nortb American. A recent compilation shows that the price of the necessities of life are 7 per cent higher than at this time a year ago. A family must now pay 817.74 for what could have been bought last October, 1000, for 891.29. Four years ago, in October, 1897, tbe same things could have been bought for 872.45. General commodity prices aje_npw .higher than jSt any tlmeln the last tenyeara. It may %»''rdugb1y said that the cost of living is one-fourth blgber than when at the lowest point. That Is to say, the dollar has depreciated in purchasing power. To use the kind of argument made familiar in the political campaign of 18U0, we now have a 75 cent dollar. It follows from this that tbe person of fixed income, whether from wagep, sal ary, investment, pension, or the like not as well off as during the hard times. Unless tbe dollars coming to him have iucreased in number proportionately to the decline of each in exchange value, the screaming good times of the last four years, concerning which there has been so much general gratulation, have brought no dividends.—l)es Moines Leader. ===r-= slSif No Trade Relief in Sightf Thus far nothing has been done since tbe assembling of congress about the reduction of taxation beyond deciding to hear representatives of the tobacco and beer Interests and to call on the treasury department for informatiou as to tbe current productiveness of exist ing taxes. The decision to give hearings to those interests may fairly be regarded as au indication that it is tbe settled purpose of tbe republican leaders to touch nothing but tbe BO called "war taxes" and to do nothing whatever to improve our strained trade relations with by lar the best customers we have on earth by taking so much as a shaving oil the monstrous Dingley duties, which have already brought upon us strong meas ures of retaliation and which are bring lng upon us more and Beveter measures of tbe same kind. Just here is where congress can do more to build up oar foreign trade, aud build it up lu a legitimate way, and way to have it Btay built, than it can by all tbe robber shlppiug bounty bills in the world or by Bacrillce of tbe interests of the people of the Philippines in order to keep a door open into tbe poverty' stricken marketB of China.—Chicago Chronicle.

A correspondent writes us to know whether there Is any danger in pastur ing pregnant sows on rye. There is a common opinion that rye fed to pregnant animalR will produce abortion. It the rye contains ergot, there is danger not merely of abortion, although we think that danger is over estimated, but danger of producing dry gangrene. Tbe ergot of rye, or of any other grain, tends to contract tbe ar teries and hence weakens the circula tion at tbe extremities. The hoofs be come affected with dry gangrene, tbe skin of tbe nose peels off and in hogs the hair will come off all the result of weakened circulation of the extremities. It IB therefore, dangerous to feed chop ped rye that contains ergot, or rye straw. The ergot can be readily detected by the long black grains, known among farmers as "spurred" rye. We do not see, however, why there Bhould be any danger In allowing pregnant sows to pasture on green rye, or rye In any other stage, until the ergot begins to ap' pear, which Is about tbe time the rye Is ripe. We have never heard of any in- iurious effects from it Therefore wa juriouB eittcts from it. rhwefore, we do not beflitate in say lbg that It ie en tirely safe Wallace's Farmer. The Average Cow. As tbe average man is not tbe ideal man, so the average cow 1s not the Ideal cow for dairying. As regards the cow, the trouble iB that she eats and exists upon a man's farm, doing only half tbe ycyrv she ought tQ do. andjbecanaumes aa much food, or .perhaps more, than first-class milkers. She will give about 3,200 pounds of milk yearly, while she ought to give as many quarts of better milk. Her structure is generally the reverse of what it should be her head is too large, and her shoulders wider than her hips besides, she has a tend ency to put fat upon her caul and not her milk, and has ample storage capacity for everything except milk. She is a parasite, which, according to Mr. Could, "eateth by noonduy and wastelb a man's substance by night." In this way, she beats ail the truBts and ringB of which mankind complains. As a cow she is one that uses health and vigor to consume food and render as little return therefor aB possible. The average cow may be good for other purposes than dairying. It mat ters not that her blood is a mixture of good and bad elements proper training and careful feeding may raise her above the average. Keeping account with dairy cows and employing tbe most ju diciouB and best tried mt thods of feed ing and treatment will Improve the milk giving properties of the stock. Tbe average cow cannot be blotted out, as a race, on Bhort notice. But much can be done In raising the average and increaaing the yield of milk. The average cow and the wooden plow go well together, but even tbe home dairy requireB better stock than that.—Dairy aud Creamery. 5 Feeding and Care of Hogs for Market. Perhaps the greatest branch of the live Btock Industry in tbe corn belt is the production of pork, and this work should be of paramount interest to a large number of our people. What I am going to say to you is the result of twenty-five years' experience in the business. The first thing to be considered is tbe breeding stock. 1 bave known farmers to sell their best sows because they would bring more money and keep their small, inferior animaU for breed log purposes. Au animal that will weigh the most in the shortest time will make the best breeder. I select the best of my young sows for bleeding pur-1 poses the following year, and wbeu they have raised one litter each tbey are sold, I am not raising bogs for breeding purposes, but for tbe market, and keep one eye on the individual merit of the animal and the other on tbe require ments of the Chicago market. It is in dividual merit 1 prefer and not pedi gree. llrood BOWB must not be stunted In feed there is greater danger in being too poor than too fat. The weight at farrowing should be about three hun dred pounds. May is the best time for farrowing the May pig will weigh more at nine months than the March or April Pig- There must be no stoppage in tbe growth of any farm animal if the beBt results are to be secured. The practice of feeding two meals a day to be eaten up clean is of the greatest importance. It is not a good idea to keep corn by tbe growing pigs at all times, as finally he is to be forced to make his living in the same way as the Caucasian, green food in addltion to the corn and Civilization, or what is done in its name,! bran, and we will get tbe deBired lean is the ruin of weak alien races, lu meat. time it will convert tbe North Ameri- 1 learned farm bookkeeping at the can Indian, wbo once was the master of college twenty-five years ago and have tbe continent, into a memory.-Du- kept an accurate" record of my work, bttque Telegraph-Herald. have taken from my books some data V. *"5 MANCHESTER, IOWA, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 29, 1902.

One bushel of corn will make ten pounds of pork, and if ten pounds of live pork will bring as much asabUBhel of corn it will pay to feed the corn. There are many who make larger gains than ten pounds per bushel. Tbe sanitary condition should be per fect.

Y. flank went Into Daly's place, In New York city, one day and sat In a game, wlnnlug $25,000 with very little trouble. Then he rose to go, thinking it waB time to stop. Daly shook hands with hlin and asked him what was bis hurry. Hank said he would have to go to a Dutch restau rant he knew where they always cook ed liver In a way that he particularly liked. 'Oh, If that's all," said Daly, "just stay liere. We can serve the liver just that way, and you oau go right on playing." Dutch Hank bad left some friends outside waiting, but he said he would stay and eat tbe liver. He sat down and ate aud played. His $25,000 soon went back to Daly in a turn of luck. Hank went out without a cent. "What kept you so long?" bis friends demanded "Well, you don't suppose a man can eat $25,000 worth of liver in a minute, do you?" was tbe retort of Hanki- The Tempter Won. When the late Baron Nordenskjold was at Ceylon on the way home from his journey along the northern coast of Siberia, he received a telegram from the Russian government aBklng him whether he would nccept from tbe czar a certain decoration as an appreciation of his services to Russia. For many days the famous explorer wavered, as he was a member of Bjorstcrne BJorn son's Antidecoratlon club, whose mem bers were solemnly pledged never to accept any decoration from anybody. Nordenskjold, however, could not re sist the temptation, so he replied to the telegram In the affirmative. It is uot hard to Imagine his disap pointment when, upon reaching home, a friend of his. a high official, told him the following: "The Russian govern ment was well aware of your antago nistic views in regard to decorations and had, therefore, placed in readiness 300,000 rubles to be paid you In the event of your refusing to accept the insignia, but before paying that sum they wanted to try your firmness. Rus sia is certainly grateful to you for your failure to live up to your pledge." Creole*.
