Their Cause Is Just.
The sons of Matt Farrott, who"* are
the owners and editors of the Waterloo
Reporter, having assisted in the devel
opment of the property and succeeded
to Its management on the
death of their
father, bate been criticised and are be
ing criticised for the reason that they at
times speak their minds and fearlessly
tell the truth as to politics.
They have been, says the Cedar Rap
ids Gazette, more than justified in all
that thev have done. Matt Parrott bad
fairly won from his party in the state
recognition. He was a candidate for
the nomination to the highest office in
the gift of the people of the state and
so far as the rank and file of the repub
lican party was concerned, so far as hon
esty was concerned, and patriotism and
regard for the rights of others,, the con
test was between him and Abe Funk.
Both were honorable men and Funk llvee
and keeps his honor, while Farrott kept
bis honor and died of a broken heart.
The convention was held in this city.
On the night before the nomination
was made Matt Farrott was told that if
he would sell himself, bis party and the
state for the office he could have the
nomination. He declined to make the
sale on any terms. He would not sell
himself, and the party and the state,
were not his to sell. He told the emissa
ries of the railroads that he would keep
his honor and trust to Frovldence.
They replied that he had made the
choice, that he might trust to Frovl
dence but that they would support
Shaw. They supported Shaw and he
was nominated.' The state knows the
result. Shaw sold the party and he
sold the state to the railroads. A con

proved in the minds of the people
another convention was held in Cedar

Government Under a Hat
Secretary of War Moody is new to the
cabinet, but be has learned the art of
flattery at an early stage of the game.
"President Roosevelt," he says, "carries
his government under his own hat, al
though he is willing to listen to and
profit by the views of others."
The constitution of the United States
is a formidable document and the presi
dent's rough rider hat will hardly hold
it. Since the government is under the
hat, therefore, the country will under
stand why IMoes not always harmonize
with the law from which government in
Ails republic should derive Its just
powers.

There is no such thing as "days of

struments in Iowa now. Last winter
the legislature was asked to pus a spe
cial act abolishing days of grace, but It
was hard fought by the farmers and
business men and beaten badly in the
house. Then the bill was passed which
was prepared by the American Bar as

the laws on negotiable instruments,

change of a letter. It Is a bill of not

not fighting the party, and in fighting

not fighting the state but they are fight

Dairy Notes.
We could just as reasonably expect a
cider mill to turn out cider when we
shovel in potatoes as to expect a cow to
give miul.when ahe ls ndfgtven such
food aa can |w changed Into milk.
We have number of records of indiv^
lduals, and what Is much better, of
herds, that go to show that the average
man Is as much to blame as the average
cow for the record being low.
There Is no profit in raising calvea un
less they are cared for from the start
Stall them like other cattle when
brought In from the pasture in the fall.
There must be no let-up in regularity
of feeding.
The "world-record" cows are useful
sign-boards on the dairy highways.
They show in which direction the pos
sibilities and probabilities lie, and they
give the average dairyman a mark at
which to aim.
The scrub cow seldom "barks back"
to the superior strains mingled in her.
She seems alwayB to prefer to "hark
back" to the average dairyman a mark
at which to aim.
Before a person concludes to raise a
heifer calf for dairy purposes he should
have good assurances that, .judging
from the performances of its ancestors
for generations back, the heifer will
make a profitable cow.
It has been said "that the man who
can cause two blades of grass to grow
where only one grew before is a public
benefactor." It is certainly not leas true
of the man who can cause his cows to
produce two pounds of butter where
they only produced one before.
The raising of poultry, Including the
production of eggs and meat, goes wejl
with the dairy. In fact, thq waste
products of the dairy can be used to a
good advantage In feeding poultry
economically and the time and care nec
essary with the one need not interfere
with the other while the surplus prod
ucts of each can be marketed together
with advantage.
A well known writer on dairy sub
jects says: Careful breeding and inher
ited excellence may be set*t naught by
insufficient or unsuitable feed, even for
a brief period. The successful dairy
man will carefully provide in advance
for the feed supply during every month
of the entire year. Too frequent provi
sion is made only for the winter months.
The severest test sometimes comes in
midsummer rather than in midwinter,
when the tendency appears to be to
trust to chance and let the dairy cow
take the season's feed supply as it
comes. The milk supply of the average
creamery falls off more rapidly on.pas'
tore in "dog days" than in the midst of
winter. Milk ylelfrlost by the herd at
any Beason of the year can never be
fully regained. The entire subsequent
yield during any period of location will
be mainly governed by the extent of the
decline during an unfavorable period.
The dairy cow, and likewise the dairy
herd, that makes the best yield must
have no adverse periods at any time.
It is the evenly sustained yield rather
than the sudden spurt that determines
the year's total.
An important factor in moving up a
few notchee is in having nearly all the
cows come fresh in the fall and early
winter. There aire several reasons for
this: The cows wlU give from one to
two thoussind pounds more milk during
the year we get the most milk when It
is worth the most money if the calves
are to be raised by hand a better calf
can be raised In tbls way and when
grass cornea the calves can be turned
out and they will grow like the weeds,
thus lightening the chores and leaving

Where the Hog Leads.
For quick returns the hog li far
ahead of the steer or sheep. He
easily fitted for slaughter at six months
old, and at that time, if he has been
well fattened, 80 per cent of his live
weight is In dressed meat. But, as the
saying goes, every part of him except
ing the grunt and the squeal Is utilized.
The bristles, the Intestines or sausage
casings, the blood and the bone, all play
their parts, while the liver and heart
are favorite food with many. The steer
will need about three crops of corn to
fatten him, and often not more than 30
per cent, of his weight Is dressed meat,
while it Is unusual to find one that does
not shrink over 40 per cent. One crop
of corn will fatten both the fall
and the spring pigs each year. AU

which, curiously, Is named from the re
gion or old manor on which the play
house was erected and not from the
familiar drapery of the stage, was sit
uated south of Holywell lane, iu Moors
fieid (modern Gloucester street), and is
first mentioned in the following year,
1577. Shakespeare's "Romeo and Ju
liet" was among the many plays Qrst
acted there. The Theater was moved
away to the Bankslde, and the old ma
terials were employed In building the
Globe, Shakespeare's chief theater, in
1B98. The Curtain continued to be used
as a playhouse far into the reign of
King James. No picture of either of

Poor Old Lady Beaconafleld.
There is nothing In his life, says I.ord
Ronald, that redounds moro to Lord
Beaconsfleld's credit than the manner
In which he treated his wife. She
could never have been but a somewhat
commonplace though good hearted wo
man. As she grew old she became a
wreck of -humanity, but the poor, fad
ed, painted old lady was ever treated
by her husbaud with a deference and
regard truly touching. It was painful
to see how, iu what we are, pleased to
call the highest society, poor old Lady
Beaconsfield was made a butt and a
laughing stock. Knowing how sensi
tive Lord Beaconsfield was to anything
approaching ridicule, I felt how bitter
ly he must have suffered when in a
crowded hall or drawing room his hosts
would whnt they called "draw out old
Lady Beaconslield" iaud laugh at her
to her face, showing no reticence, re-'
gard or decent feeling for the poor hus
band, who, Imperturbable as be ever
appeared, was probably suffering acute
ly at the conduct of his ill bred hosts.

A contributor to The Pilot finds that
In every thousand of tho population in
Ireland 13.S bear the narno Murphy,
ii.8 the name of Kelly and 0.2 the
name of Sullivan. These three names
lead all others by a long gap. The
somewhat popular notion that the Mc'a
and the O's stand at the head of tho
list of .Irish surnames is thus disposed
of.

A Story of Profeaaor Huxley,
Professor Huxley, Dr. Wayland de
clared, was once sitting at dinner be
side a ladjj who in impassioned tones
asked him whether he did not think it
a very terrible thing that the Rev. Mr.
Joues, the vicar, should have adopted
the eastward position in administering
the sacrament. "My dear lady," he re
plied, "I am told by Sir John Herschel
that to drop a pea at the end of every
mile of a voyage on a limitless ocean
to tho distance of the nearest fixed star
would require a fleet of 10,000 ships,
each of 000 tous burden, all starting
with a full cargo of peas. Now.jio you
really suppose that the Maker of tho
fixed stars considers this new position
of Mr. Jones a serious thing?"
Sonic 1'lionetlc Spclllne:.
Before we complain of the spelling
of our daughters we should perhaps
take exception to the pronunciation of
our fathers. Most of the eccentricities
iu spelliug common tp children arise
l'rom their attempts to reproduce words
as they hear them pronounced by their,
elders. A child who was told to make
a list of all the fruits she knew wrote
down, "Apis, strorbriz, rarsbriz, gooz
brls, bnaniers." Another spelled the
word "idea" with the addition of an
"r." "Icloar!" exclaimed her teacher.
"That is a fuuny way of spelling
idea." Her pupil, however, was not to
be outdone. "I know," she answered
readily, "but I spelled it that way for
short."—London Chronicle.
Too Mncli Appreciation.
A biography of Iluxley dwells on the
annoyance which lie suffered froni
bores, liut the plague had its funny
side. Huxley once wrote to a friend:
"1 had a letter from a fellow yester
day morning who must be a luuatic, to
the effect that he had been reading my
essays, thought 1 was the man to speud
a month with and was coming down by
the 5 o'clock train attended by his sev
en children and his mother-in-law!"
Mrs. Joues—Just think of it! That
fellow came in and actually stolo the
clock tight off the mantelpiece.
Mrs. Hrown—And your dog was in
the very same room!
Mrs. Jones—Yes, but that didu't
count. Kido is only a watchdog, you
know. -Boston Transcript.
