SAVING THE "BIG TREES."
By signing the bill for 'the creation
of the Calaveras National Forest, Cal
ifornia, President Roosevelt has com
pleted the legislative act which saves
for all time the most famous grove of
trees in the world. The people of Cal
ifornia, particularly the 500 women of
the California Club, have .been work
ing to interest the government in this
wonderful grove of big trees for more
than nine years, but not until now
ha-s It been possible to arrange a plan
satisfactory alike to -the owner of the
land and to congress.
The senate bill pstssed by the house
of representatives lias just been signed
by the president. Everyone interested
In the great natural wonders rejoices
that as a means of saving the big trees,
the way has been paved for a .practical
exchange of the. timber in the groves
for stumpage on other forest land
owned by the government. The first
Calaveras bill was introduced in the
senate four years ago by Senator Per
kins of California. Bills for the same
purpose were passed in the upper
house of congress a number of times,
but always failed of favorable con
sideration in the house until senate bl'.l
1,574, also introduced by Senator Per
kins, was called up by Congressman
S. C. Smith, of California, last week.
Tlie Calaveras big trees are known
the world over. The north grove con
tains ten trees each having a diameter
of twenty-live feet or over, and more
than seventy havihg a diameter of
fifteen to twenty-five feet. Most of the
trees have been named, some for fa
mous generals of the United States
and others for statesmen and various
states of the union. "The Father of
the Forests," now down, is estimated
by Hittel, in his "Resources of Cali
fornia," to have had a height of 450
feet and a diameter at 'the ground of
more than forty feet when It was
standing. "Massachusetts." contains
118,000 board feet of lumber "Gov
ernor Stoneman" contains 108,000 board
feet, and the "Mother of the Forest,"
burned in the terrible forest fire which
licked its way Into a part of the grove
last summer, contained 105,000 board
feet. Each of these trees named grows
as much lumber as is grown ordinarily
on fifteen or twenty acres of timber
land. The bark runs from six inches
to two feet In thickness. Among the
other large named trees In the two
groves are "Waterloo," "Pennsylvania,"
"James King," "Old Bachelor," "Pride
of the Forest," "Daniel Webster," "Sir
John Franklin," "Empire State," "U. S.
Grant," "W. T. Sherman," "J. P. Mc
Pherson," "Abraham Lincoln," "Con
necticut," "Ohio," "Grover Cleveland,"
"Mrs. Grover Cleveland," "Dr. Nelson,"
"General Custer," "Dr. J. W. Dawson,"
"General Hancock," "Knight of the
Forest," "Two Sentinels," and "Old
Dowd."
WRITE THE BILL OVER.
A bill introduced in the senate pro
vides that work toe furnished prisoners
in the county jails and that such la
bor shall be paid at the rate of $1
a day, and the money thus earned be
paid to their families in cases of need.
The bill is before the committee on
labor.
There Is a glimmer of good sense
and righteousness in the bill. Rewrit
ten and made practical it should pass
and might be a most useful and re
formatory law. As it is it is only a
starter.
It may be assumed without dispute
that every able-bodied man should
support his family or at least labor
diligently in the attempt .to do so. It
may further be laid down that .the
state that must support and educate
them if he does not has a moral right
to make him work if he is physically
able and that It should have the legal
right. We sentence men to labor on
the streets «nd on the stone pile as a
penalty fdr misdemeanor and let the
family take its chance when its only
visible means of support has been
taken from it. That work should be
furnished to jailbirds is plain common
sense. It should be thus provided and
the authorities should see that it is
done, that the man under sentence
earns a dollar a day and his .board,
and that it goes to the support of those
dependent upon him.
But not in jail. In the first place
there is scarcely a jail in Iowa that
could be turned into a sanitary fac
tory. Second, there are few men sen­
•itittes-ii^mwttmi TOrcsljalttawn
$3%
f- r-», f4TU, ,, 4
tenced to Jail who could earn a dollar
a day at any inside work unless stone
breaking may be classed as inside
work. The place to put these men to
work is on the public roads where bull
strength and awkwardness properly
directed goes a Jong way in eight or
ten Jiours. We are coining fast to sn
era of .scientific roadmaking In this
state. We shall need the labor. The
family of tile average mail who breaks
into Jail needs the money. The place
for those fellows to earn their own
and their families' living is out on the
stretches of Iowa highways, holding
scrapers, laying tile, digging trenches.
It is good hard reformatory work,
healthful, and there should be enough
back etraln at the end of a .thirty-day
sentence 'to carry a. wholesome dread
of another month of It. There are
tramps and drunkards and disorderlies
of one kind and another roaming about
the state today if properly employed
could build a hard road from Clinton
to Council Bluffs in eighteen months.
Let Senator Ream rewrite his bill
taking counsel with mayors, magis
trates, police officers, and not forget
ting those who view the question from
tho standpoint «f the real sociologist.
The policeman and the sheriff, and too
often tile police magistrate, are too
busy with the "round up" to look far
ahead. The sociologist, too, often looks
over present necessities to the ulti
mate. Let him rewrite it and send
his jailbirds afield let him Include with
them the lazy and worthless lout who
refuses to support Ills family, who
lives on the washing done by his wife
the irreclaimable inebriate and the
bootlegger who is willing "to lay It out
in Jail." and a horde of other disrep
utables and undesirables, and he will
have something worth while and that
will work a great reform on the high
ways and in the characters of the
class tliat inhabit the jails and swell
the board accounts of the sheriffs.
Write it over.
AS TO RESUBMISSION.
When the committee sent out the
question of resubmission of the pro
hibition amendment to the tloor of the
house it threw a bombshell among the
representatives. It is a case of being
"damned of you do, and damned If you
don't." In almost every county of the
.state there Is a considerable show of
strength both for and against resub
mission. The luckless representative,
especially from the Interior counties,
llnds himself in a tight place as re
gards the future. In tight counties it,
"makes things binding" upon the leg
islator thus brought face to face with
a two-horned dilema. Whichever ho
grabs he Is liable to be "hooked." Nat
urally, he doesn't like it.
It would have been much better to
pay strict attention .to enforcement of
the liquor laws already in force than
to involve the state in another strug
gle to enforce absolute prohibition.
There is no doubt that the law will be
better enforced should it again be
given life than it was in the memor
able days of the past attempt to pro
hibit the sale of liquors. Counties will
be prohibition under a prohibitory law.
Some and a goodly number of counties
are practically under prohibition now
and will remain so whether the amend
ment is revived or not. Some counties
will fight to the last gasp against what
the majority of their residents have
been taught to believe is an assault on
their "personal liberty." The most ef
fective and readily handled unit is the
county. We have seen that much
proved.
Given the Cosson bills as law and
the enforcement of law that would be
likely to follow, regulation of liquor
•sales in Iowa would mean prohibition
wherever prohibition is at present pos
sible. To bring out the amendment and
institute a renaissance of the past
prohibition muddle sscarcely seems the
best way to take advantage of the
great movement in favor of enforce
ment and against intemperance that is
now spreading over the cim itry. As
matters stand and as they are likely to
stand for some time to come the com
munity must be depended upon to
regulate and prohibit the traffic, to
see that the law is obeyed. We have
but recently come to the point where we
are in majority ready to demand en
forcement of present enactments. Why
should we not finish one job before we
begin on another? The wise prohibi
tionist will bide his time. All that is
doing is traveling his way. Stricter
laws and more vigorous enforcement
is the path to ultimate prohibition. The
crowd is headed toward it. Why raise
a row to draw it aside and check Its
progress? ,•! ...

As a state and general newspaper,

If the legislature would make the

unwarranted cry year after year knows

Captain Boniface, of Fort Des

Uniforms and parts of uniforms occa
sionally get into the hands of these
dealers and arc worn by an undesirable
class of toughs and tramps, who when
they get into trouble bring discredit
on the army." What kind of game is
the captain and the U. .S. government
working on the state? The government
proposes to sell all its left over and
condemned stuff to dealers with the
full knowledge that it is to be retailed
out to those whose poverty or Inclina
tion leads them to buy. Why then
should the purchaser be denied the
right to wear what he has paid money
for? There doesn't seem .to be a lick of
sense in the bill and it ought to be
smothered. The cases where the mili

Grain and Sweet Skim Milk.
Since the rise in the value of land
in tho past few years, the farmers
capable of figuring the cost of pro
ducing farm products, cattle, hogs,
sheep and poultry, are at it, more
than ever before. The uniformly
high price for what grain they are
producing is everywhere attracting
attention. The better class of farm
ers are determined to know by experi
ments of their own or from experi
ments made at the experiment sta
tions, Just what veal, beef, pork, or
mutton can be produced with 100
pounds of a given grain, writes a far
mer.
It needs no scales or no figures to
tell you that you cannot afford to pay
ten cents a pound for food for animals
which will not sell for more than 5
to 7 cents per pound. It needs no
argument to convince the reasonable
farmer that he can not afford to feed
calves or pigs butterfat worth 30 to 35
cents per pound. He may do so and
there are many who unwisely feed
their calves the milk fresh from the
cow. There are others who set the
milk, recovering only a portion of the
butterfat It contains and in this way
unprofltably feed many dollars' worth
of butterfat during the year. It is to
this class of people this article is es
pecially directed. Tt is to this class of
people who do not sufficiently exert
themselves to obtain the most reliable
Information on questions directly re
lated to theic profits, that we write.
There are. for example, about fifty
one experiment stations supported by
the United States tax. Of that, number
there are some ten or twelve that have
determined the feeding value of sweet
skim milk. There are some differ
ences, of course, in their results de
pending on the age of the animals at
the time of feeding and the quantity
of milk given per day.
Take the Wisconsin agricultural
experiment station'-s report on feeding
grain and skim milk to pigs. Have
you studied it? Twelve sows and
eighty-six pigs consumed in a given
-time 2,949 pounds of grain and 5,882
pounds of sweet milk. On that feed
they gained 1,036 pounds. Figure it.
One thousand thirty-six pounds -pork
at $5.90 equals $61.12. Deduct 2,949
pounds grain at $20 per ton, which Is
$29.49, and you have $31.63. Divide
$31.63 by 5,882, the milk consumed, and
you have 50 cents, the value of 100
pounds of sweet skim milk.
Young pigs sucking sows or those
weighing up to twenty pounds, can be
profitably fed all the sweet skim milk
that they will drink. I refer to milk
fed direct from the separator. I do
not refer to any separator skim milk
which has been dumped in a sour swill
barrel and fed .to the pigs when
weather -is favora.ble. No, sir. You
can't get the money value of sour or
pasteurized skim milk providing it
produces the sours in the young ani
mals. The farmer who reently said,
"I believe that 100 pounds of fresh,
sweet, undiseased skim milk is worth
as much as a bushel of corn," is
mighty near the truth.
The Boom Hog Business.
Tt is an unfortunate fact that upon
several occasions during the past few
years breeders of pure-bred hogs have
seen fit to put -the price of breeding
stock upon a basis that had absolute
ly no legitimate foundation. This
condition was confined to no particu
lar breed, and the influence of such
conditions was felt in many places.
Occurrenes of this kind were most
prevalent in sections of the country
where the hog business has been
firmly established for a number of
years and we are glad to note that
this section of the country has suf
fered but little from the boom busi
ness, says the St. Paul Farmer. With
in the past three years we have heard
I of occasions where well-known brecd
Ing boars had sold at a stated price
of from $2,000 to $10,000, and more
recently there have been instances
where breeders claim to have paid
'$ 1,000 or more for untried boar pigs,
Sales of brood sows have been record
I ed as high as $3,000. To a person un
acquainted with the hog business, such
prices would indicate that there were
I great profits made from the raising of
pure-bred hogs and many such peo
ple -who have attempted .to engage
in the business have found out .to their
sorrow that such values never have and
never will exist legitimately.
In the hog .breeding business the

fact must not be lost sight of that
-the ultimate end of every hog is the
pork barrel. The only reason for im
proving any breed of hogs is the fact
that such improvement will Increase
the capacity for pork production and
thus make them more valuable in the
hands of the average farmer. An
other fact which must always be kept
in mind is that this same average
farmer is the person upon whom the
breeder must depend for a large share
of his business. It lias too often been
the case for the breeder to keep the
very meanest boar pigs to sell to the
farmer trade and attempt to sell
every good pig to other breeders.
In the state of Minnesota
one breeder could raise enough
boars in a year to supply every other
breeder in the state. With -this in
mind, it becomes evident that all other
boars must necessarily be sold to the
man who is catering to the demands
of the pork barrel. The average
farmer can .be educated to pay from
$25 to $50 for one boar each year, and
it is upon this class of trade that the
pure-bred hog breeders must depend
for their future success.
The territory of the boom hog busi
ness is productive of many stories of
failure and even financial ruin. It is
a peculiar fact that most of the men
who claim to be holding hog sales that
average well up Into the hundreds are
going out of business as fast as possi
ble. There is no question but that
most of the high prices are made upon
a trading^ basis and that but little real
cash ever enters into the transaction.
We have recently seen catalogs where
one of the terms of the sale was the
requirement of a. $25 cash payment
upon each animal purchased. In one
notable instance this reduced the av
erage from nearly $300 in one sale to
something like $34 In the next sale,
which leaves the amount of inflation
to be figured with ease. The presence
of a number of irresponsible bidders
at sales of this kind has also been a
lamentable fact.

of the Well-informed of the World has
always been for a simple, pleasant and

In supplying that demand with its ex

on the merits of the laxative for its remark

That is one of many reasons why
