The Waterloo Courier ti&B Qgared It oat that the average wages, per day, of all school teachers ID Iowa Is Their Sincerity Open to Doubt* [St. Louis Republican.] Roosevelt and his forces are carefully preparing the way to avoid all blame for a failure of trust legislation. Whether they really desire effectual legislation Is much to be doubted. Roosevelt's sin-* cerlty upon the trust question cannot be gauged with any degree of accuracy, since be has assumed three distinct at titudes toward it—one during the fall campaign, another In his message, a third at present. -Chicago Chronicle. Power of the Trusts. (Pittsburg Post.] A striking illustration of one power acquired by the formation of a trust and one brazenly announced in academ ic essays on the virtues of such organiz ations Is the shutting down of the re fineries of the sugar trust at WllllamB burg, N. Y., throwing out 5,000 em ployes, and thus depriving dependent families of support. The closing of the cooper shops, an incidental sequence, will almost double the number of the unemployed. The reason for the clos ing is the regulation of production. That Is, to follow out the process, to maintain prices and secure more profits to enable payment of larger dividends. —Chicago Chronicle. fgg May Lose Mail Routes. Routes not np to Standard Will Be Taken off. A dispatch from Des Moines to the Cedar Rapids Republican says: Patrons of rural routes in Iowa will do well to keep a sharp eye as to future developments in the service on the part of the government postoflice depart ment, if they would keep in force the routes that are now established. The government is going to cause quite a little flurry when It makes known its position along certain lines, and Iowa, the foremost stBte in the union in the way of rural mail routes, does not want to be forced to take a step backward. Iowa has established today more rural routes than any other state in the union, 1,100 being in operation. In some of the states, and certain portions ot Iowa are no exception, the routes are not doing sufficient business to warrant the expenditure the government Is put ting into them to assure their mainte nance. Consequently a movement is on foot looking to the discontinuance of all those where business is Inadequate. A route of ordinary proportions should handle each month between 5,000 and 6,000 pieces of mail. Some reach BB rock 'A*-/ Office over the Backet Store Manchester, Iowa. high as 10,000 in more thickly settled communities, but many others fall down to an average of about 2,000. It is this class that the government will Investigate, and It Is up to the farmers on snch routes to show why the service should not be discontinued. If the bus iness is found tube less than it should be, in the minds of the special agents, recommendations will be made first as to what should be done to remedy the difficulty. Then If the business does not pick up the routes will be ordered discontinued. In connection with the investigations of the agents the good roads question will be carefully considered. -If the routeB are found to be in poor shape, and not maintained with the Idea of as sisting the carriers in every possible way, that fact will cut considerable fig ure in the recommendations of the Free Silver at 32 to 1. President Roosevelt's message to congress constitutes a most remarkable recognition of some of the monetary theories advanced by Mr. Bryan. Ac companying the president's communi cation were notes received from Mexico and China requesting the United States to join with them in an international movement to establish a standard for silver, the depreciation and fluctuation of which was causing untold IOBS to the countries named and to the Philippines and French and British colonies. In view of the fact that demonetization Jias resulted in so serious a depreciation of sliver, It Is suggested that the ratio now be fixen at 32 to 1. The president requests that he be empowered to take: the steps suggested. He has also re quested that congress authorize the ap pointment of three commissioners to meet with commissioners from the countries named and an effort will be made to enlist the co-operation of Great Britain and France. Addressing him self to the subject of the proposed plan, a leading member of tbe senate, and one who has most vigorously opposed every theory advanced by Mr. Bryan, said: "On Its surface the plan appeals to me. If we were to Insist on a gold basis in the Philippines and it were to become necessary tor all the silver using countries to follow suit, It would cer tainly prove a severe strain on the gold supply of the world and would probably result in an appreciation of our own currency. Of course, this la not a scheme for a silver standard but for a gold standard with practical blmetaliem. The gold would be the yard stick by which the silver would be measured. Tbe increased and steady demand for stiver would probably prevent further depreciation of the value of that metal which is affecting all silver using and producing countries. As great produc ers of silver we are, of course, vitally Interested in anything which can be done for silver. 1 hope and believe that the scheme will be found practicable and that all tbe silver uBing countries and all countries having silver using colonies will agree on establishing the value ot silver on a bub of 82 to 1."— Clinton Advertiser, •itaih ^,W.»»T &\f »kj"V* 4*» ^T' K9?*#! %%$?( 7 -rmt The Newspaper Man. v-1 $ He seldom Is handsome or natty.

Remstreet In the Blue Pencil Maga zine. DELAWARE COUNTY FARMER'S INSTITUTE. (Tontlnned from last week.) Heredity. Hy Dr. J. W. Scott. Mr. President, ladies and gentlemen. In addressing you today upon the sub ject of "Heredity" it is not my design or expectation to convey to you Bny knowledge which you do not already pos ses, but rather that 1 may remind you, and more distinctly impress upon your understanding, some of those things which you already know, but which many of you apparently dismiss from your minds, as being nnwortby of oc cupying such an exalted position, at the very moment that they could and should be turned to profitable service. General observation teaches us tbat the principle of heredity is almost, If not quite, BB securely fixed as are any of tbe laws which govern and control the universe, or which in any way exer cise their lnfluen.ee over the destinies of the human race, and a circumspect study of BtatisticB compiled on tbe sub ject by men who have conducted care ful investigation along these lines gives additional evidence of tbe perseverance of this principle in following its fixed course. We cannot mingle with the kindred of our acquaintances without being aware ot many resemblances in features and expression which exist between them, and this similarity as yon all know is not confined to physical appearance, but is just as perceptible in tbe manner and disposition, and Is also manifested in the passions and appetites, and it is a fact well established tbat not only a tend ency to disease, but that some diseases themselves are often transmitted from a parent to his offspring. Congenital deformities, that Is, de formities which existed since birth, are ofteti transmitted from parent to child, but I know of no testimony favoring tbe belief tbat those resulting from ac cident and violence can be thus trans mitted, and indeed were these heredit ary, children with artificial legs and glass eyes would be numerous. But it is the sentiment of a great many who have made a special study of this sub ject that all bodily and organic defects which are not tbe result of accident Secretary Wilson also said: "One of tbe greatest triumphs of the Agricultur al Department was the Introduction of Busslan macaroni wheat into the Unit ed States. About 2,000,000 bushels were harvested In 1902, and the demand can not be supplied. This wheat yields from one-third to one balf more than the other standard wheats in the same locality throughout tbe great plains region." Wheat is wheat tbe world over, and why should one variety yield more than another grown on the same soil and sub jected to the same preparation before the seed Is sown I answer, because of abetter and stronger parentage, as the hardy nature, the good deep root, the sturdy straw, tbe drouth and disease re sisting character, the large head and the plump grain of the parent plant is transmitted to the offspring, and with qualities of such .superiority In the par ent, be it man, animal or plant, tbe ex cellence of the progeny Is assured. IB a birthday gift from some predecessor. Predisposition to Blcoholism, Insanity and suicide are unquestionably heredi tary, and the following taken from the Medical Press, compiled by Professor Belman, of the University of Bonn, gives the strongest evidence of the truth of the adsge, "Like begets like." He re lates the career of a notorious drunk ard who was born in 1710, and died in 1800. Her descendants nnmbered 834, of whom 709 have been traced since youth. Of these 7 were convicted of murder, 76 of other crimes, 142 were professional beggars, 64 lived on charity, and 181 others led disreputable I will not further intrade upon your time by offering arguments, or reciting cases to prove tbe influence of heredity on human stature and character, but will proceed to tbe lesson which knowledge of these things Bhould bring to you as agriculturalists and breeders. TbiB principle of heredity isfarreacb lng, and 1b of Interest to you In almost every transaction pertaining to the busi ness of tbe farm, being juBt as strong In tbe lower animals as in the human family, and is also evidenced in your crops of grain, vegetables and grass. It is no longer disputed by tbe most Intel ligent farmers, and has been abundant ly proven by teBts made at the experi mental farms of the country, tbat the quality of your potato crop depends In a meaBure on the quality of the seed planted. Tbe Bame Is true of vourcorn and small grains, and if your seed is well selected your hopes of a harvest corresponding with the richness of tbe soil and the season's weather conditions will be surely-gratified, and tbe quality of the grain will be satisfactory in weight and in feeding value. Secretary of Agriculture WilBon In a statement to a reporter of the Chicago Tribune a few days ago said: "We have succeeded in crossing the sea island cotton with the product of India^ and have produced in this country as a result of the experiment an excellent quality of cotton. Each succeeding crop BeemB better than the previous one." Why should the crossing of these two varieties of cotton produce a better yielding and hardier, offspring than either of the parent plants This IB a question to which I am com pelled to give a conjectural answer, as I know but little regarding the meritB or demerits of either variety ondet con "r'' 'F~"j f' MANCHESTER, IOWA, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 18. 1903. VOL. XXIX—NO. 7. sideration, but as I do know something of the methods usually employed in plant breeding, I will presume that there was no departure from the orthodox rule in this case. Prior to the time that this cross was accomplished the sea island cotton was considered to be tbe beet variety of this commodity grown in America, but the experimentalist saw tbat In Bome re spects it could be Improved, and for this purpose selected for a companion plant tbe India cotton, another excellent variety which differed from the former. In tbat Its points of particular strength were in the features in which the other was found deficient, so that In tbe child plant the weak feature of one parent is counteracted by the strength of that particular feature in the other. In other words, tbe good qualities of both par ents are transmitted to the offspring, and the goodly heritage becomes more and more manifest In each succeeding crop. To the breeders of live stock, I would aay, If you expect to be eminently suc cessful, you must employ similar meth ods to those wbioh bring success to tbe husbandman in his efforts to improve the varieties or breeds of plants. You must pursue the same policy of careful selection in your choice of animalB to become the Bires and dams of your herds, and it is certain if this selection Is made wisely and persevered in, tbat vast Improvements In the quality of your farm animals will be accomplished, for has it not been amply proven in tbe experience ot every observant breeder that the production of a good colt or calf is not due to accident, but is the natural result of the mating of two ani male, bo„f of which are endowed with superior quality of bone and muscle, good style and carriage, and a symmet rically constructed body, together with a healthy condition of the organic sys tem and when these conditions prevail in the parent animals nine times out of ten tbe offspring will be at leaBt as good, and may surpass in value its progeni tors. When selecting your brood animalB you should carefully note every point of strength and weakness in both sexes, taking care that where any weakness exists in one parent tbat tbe correspond ing part in the other shows a remarka ble development, so tbat In the young enough of the strength of one to coun teract the weakness of tbe other may be Inherited, thus ridding tbe family of an anatomical mistake, and bringing to the animal breeder an experience simi lar to that of the cotton farmer who by a continued, prudent selection of seed was able to produce a better yielding and abetter quality of cotton each sue ceedlng year and those desirable results must emanate from tbe same cause namely—the transmission of the ele ments of a gradually Improved heredity. liveB. Tbe family cost the German govern ment for maintenance and costs in tbe courts, alms houses and prisons no less a sum than 91,250,000, in other words, juBt a fraction less than $1,500 each. It would probably be bard to find a more remarkable example than this of the evil effects of the transmission of hered itary defects, but we must not overlook tbe fact tbat tbe elements of good he redity are just as potent as are those of bad and if they predominate they will counteract tendency to disease or crime, which would otherwise occur in the off spring. We will now v.ery briefly consider whether or not the farmer horse breed ers of Delaware county are making use of the motto—"The selection of tbe fit test for the purposes of propagation,''and the most available means of securing ev idence from which the facts can be ascer tained is to make a personal inspection of the farm horses congregated on the streets and in tbe livery stables of this city from day to day. Tbe result of such Bn Inspection would be a continu ous and unimpeachable reply in the negative, and the verdict arrived at by tbe person making tbe Inspection muBt necessarily be "not guilty," and 1 think this should be accompanied with a plea for mercy. How many horses do you imagine are driven into Manchester each month wbich would, if offered for sale, bring tbe sum of 8100, even In these days of high prices? There are undoubtedly quite a number tbat would bring this figure, but you all know that when numerically considered with those wbich are worth from forty to seventy-five dollars they are few. Now, this condition of affairs is all wrong, for it is just as easy to raise a horse worth 8150 as It Is to raise one worth only $40, and only the way in which you have any reason to expect your horse to belong to the former class is by the wise application during tbe breeding season of your knowledge of the principle of heredity. Use nothing but the best and strong est of horses, both male and femBle, as animals of propagation, and under no consideration should you use an animal suffering from any unsoundness, unlesB It be a barbwlre scar, or some other condition whicb you know to be tbe re suit of accident, and one wbich you are well assuted cannot Impair the animal's vitality, but if there Is any question of tbiB do not give tbe animal the benefit of the doubt, but refuse his service. A great many breeders entertain the erroneous Idea that mares of an ad vanced age, when too stiff, too wea£ and too Blow to be of further service In the harness, are good enough for breed ing purposes, forgetting that the laws ndV ot heredity demand around andVvigor- ous dam in order to insure active, heal thy, thrifty progeny. ThiB, of course, Is also true of the sire, but it is much less frequent that the latter is patron ized if broken down and diseased, so I more particularly caution you regaiding the former. It is BIBO erroneous to put mares to breeding too young. They should be fully matured, and this condition is not usually reached until they are four years of age. To breed earlier than this the growth of tbe mare IB Tbe principle guiding your action in this important indUBtry should be based only on a knowledge of the laws of heredity, always remembering tbat when both sire and dam possess a due amount of vigor, and a desirable dis position, are sound and healthy in bone and muscle, have a robust organic sys tem with a normal functional activity, strong feet with good quality of horn tissue, a desirable color, a glossy coat, thuB insuring a healthy skin, the off spring by combining In itself tbe distin guished qualities of tbe parents, must be at birth a model foal, and If acciden tal blemishes are avoided, at maturity the animal will have reached that de gree of eminence which Is characterized by the sporting fraternity as being "all hoss" Bnd will demand in the market a' price fitting a sobriquet so flattering. HUNTING CARIBOU One, Shot Through the Heart* Itan ISTO Hundred Yar«la, The caribou Is very tenacious of life. Bays S. W. Watts in Collier's Weekly, writing about bunting these animals In Newfoundland. My companion used a 30.40 Winchester and the writer used an .8 Munnllehcr. With such strong guns we were seldom able to stop a big stag with a single shot, even when hit In a vital spot. One that the writ* er shot through the heart ran with the rest of the drove for 200 yards, as though he had not been touched, be fore collapsing. When we opened him, he had only one bullet hole and his heart was cut In two. Another went about the same distance on the jump with l"»u fore shoulders broken and a bullet through the neck. On several other occasions the stags when hit went off vith such strength that when they fell they dug their antlers In the ground and turned complete somer saults. The first caribou we killed was fawn. V.'e picked him out because we wanted meat, and, being young, we thought he ou&'M to-oe tender. In fact, however, his meat was almost useless —lean, tough, stringy and very dark in color. This was dllBcult to under stand, and the guides, for some reason, were unable to offer an explanation. However, I learned the reason later. It appears that during the mating sea* son the fawns are weaned. The old stag, driving the fawn away from the mother, will strike him with his horns and chasc him half a mile. As soon the stag gives up the chase and turns back to the doe the fawn will re turn then the stag will chase him again. This is kept up for eight or ten days, with the result that from worry, violent exercise and change of diet the meat of the fawn becomes for a time unpalatable. THE APOSTLES. Emblems llentowed Upon Them by the Mcdlteval Artlnta. The medUeval artists, having no Idea of the personal appearance of the Sav iour's followers, adopted a set of signs, or emblems, for each, which soon be came familiar to all. The emblem of Peter was either a large key or two keys crossed, which is readily explain ed by referring to the words of Christ (Matthew xvi, 10), "And 1 will give un to thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven." The emblem of Paul was a sword and a book—the latter to remind the beholder that he was a teacher of men, the former to ludieate that he was beheaded with a sword. St. Andrew was usually ligured standing by across shaped like a letter X, that being the form of the cross upou which legend says he was crucified. The emblem of St. James the Great was either a sword, referring to the fact that he was also beheaded, or a pilgrim's staff, ho being a great traveler. St. John's emblem was a caldron, re ferring to his experience in the boiling oil. St. Philip's emblem is an enigma. It waB a spear and a cross, yet it is known that he was hanged. St. Bar tholomew, who was "Uayed alive," is represented with a knife and his skin hanging over Ills arm. Matthew's em blem Is a square, supposed to have some reference to Christ's calling. St Thomas, having been "pierced with a dart," is pictured carrying a spear. The emblem of James the Less was a club, he having been "beaten to death with a faggot St. Matthias an ax, he having been beheaded. Simon's em blem was a saw. The legend says "he was sawn asunder."
