It is practically decided that after March 4 Albert F. Dawson, of tho Sec ond Iowa district, will be named by the committee on rules to succeed as a member of the rivers and harbors com mittee Benjamin P. Birdsall, of Clar ion, whose district will be represented in the Sixty-first congress by Chas. E. Pickett. A membership to the rivers and har bors committee is now held, because of the tremendous waterway enthus iasm that has been stirred up of late years, to bo one of the most luscious political plums within the gift of the rules committee. Dawson will prob ably take down the coveted place in lieu of cabinet position that his friends sought for him. The rivers and harbors committee will be pretty well shot to pieces with the adjournment of the Sixtieth con gress, by the way. Five members of the committee were defeated for re election, and the chairman, Theodore E. Burton, is making what will prob ably be a successful race for the sen ate, which would mean a sixth va cancy. Iowa men are also being considered to fill the places of Robert G. Cousins, of Tipton, on the committee on for eign affairs, and "Uncle Pete" Hep burn on the interstate and foreign commerce committee. G. N. Haugen, of the Fourth district, now chairman of the committee on expenditures in the interior department, is in line for appointment to more Important com mittees than he is now serving on. Hull, of Des Moines, will undoubt edly remain chairman of the commit tee on military affairs. It is an im portant committee, therefore one of the best berths to be had.

ONLY 28 IN THE YEAR 1907 The Business Seems to f. creasing and the Ratio SC. r".'.field 0 of,. Unhappy Weddings is Appalling. 1 I quiring the keeping of a record of di-1 vorce cases, it is possible now to turni to the book in the office of the clerk of the district court aad see just how mauv divorces are granted each year, together with all of the particulars. T: new book, w~hich was opened during the middle of 1906 contains space for the names of both parties, their ages, date of marriage,' date of divorce, grounds for same, nationality, etc. vorce decrees issued in Keokuk. 1907 there were but 2S. wishing them a happy future. Of these forty divorces during this year, but six husbands had asked to be separated from their wives, while thir ty-four wives had filed petitions. The grounds for divorce were divid-,. ed as follows: Cruel and inhuman '°v treatment twenty, desertion twelve, drunkennes five, adultery three. Two were colored while the balance I were Wihite. As the book has just been started, only two pages of It are filled up but a ton,.or y..„, thl. div^ce ,'S' m°St esting for s-atistics.

Whether this being leap year, had anything to do with the large number of divorces or not, Is another statisti cal problem which is left to some one else to figure out. Of these forty unhappy couples who separated in 1908, one of the women had been married twice before and seven of them had been married once before. Of the men, one had been married twice before. The couple who had been married the longest were married in 1S72 and divorced thirty-six years afterwards. The nationalities given are as fol lows for the men: American 28. Ger- man 5, Irish 3 and one each Scotch, Scotch-Irish. English and African. For the women f.ie nationalities are given 32 Americans, 4 Germans. 2 Scotch years, but little comparison can be. made of the divorce mill in Keokuk, but with 40 for this year and 28 last' ^0U„SJ° year, business seems to be increasing in that line. the dance and the many young people! present thoroughly enjoyed the hospi tality extended by the .,ost and host ess.

If this is true it is thought that by a careful study of the heart, action by toe trainer each day, the con dition of an athlete can be seen, and the first symptoms of this staleness can be discovered in time to check it. About the Plan. Physical Director Chamberlin has re ceived an outline to assist him in car rying out the statistical end of the in vestigation. He is to make ten exam inations on a number of members of piled will be sent to New York head quarters. The examination will in elude all sizes of youths and men. The examination is to be given to eacu one at. any time during the year. Before an athlete enters the gymnas ium he will be examined, the heart action being taken while in a reclined position and the heart acOon being taken while standing up. The athlete will then be sent in to the gymnasium kamp fulfilled his wifes dying request and put through a hard test and when bv bringing the body to be buried here. almost exhausted will be again ex amined.

The Daily uate City tween Keokuk and Burlington. A party of prominent railroad offic ials of the arrived in this city this morning on Xo. 1 in their private car and left this afternoon for the north at 2:05 for Burlington. Wita the party this morning were General Su perintendent F. H. Ustick of St. Louis, General Freight Agent Gray, General Superintendent of the Hannibal di vision, X. W.

The round house and yards were gone over and the party made an inspection of the old K. W. freight depot at the foot of Bank street which is fast go ing to decay and which wil be torn down in the spring to make room for several more tracks for switching pur poses. Q. Doing Things. One of the officials str.ted this morn ing that the Q. has done more in the way of repairs during the past year than any other road in the section and l..rge improvements have been made everywhere along this part of the road and between St. Louis and Burlington. Since tje first of October thirty-five miles of seventy-five pour 1 steel rails have been laid between this city and Hannibal and on the Mount Pleasant branch. New Rails Arrive. Improvements Coming. The visit to the city this morning of the railroad party was not of small consequence and large improvements on the system can be expected in the year that is coming ani Keokuk will come in for her share of them both In the uptown yards and in the lower rail road yards. The trip was made for the purpose of securing a budget for tie year 1909, that is to make note of the things to be done -ad have them attended to immediately. Instruction Car. This morning an airbrake instrnc tion car arrived In the city and will be here for a day or two so that local railroad men may have an opportunity of visiting it and becoming acquainted with every part of the construction of an airbrake, fifty different brakes be ing in the car and everything fitted up to make Instructions plain and sim ple for the men who receive instruc tions from the man in charge of faie instruction car. *100 Reward, $100.

The Standard rail used by the Q. system is a ninety pound rail but there is not any material difference between the ninety and the eighty-five. A 110 pound rail is the largest rail that is used by any road, the rail being a half foot high and very heavy, each yard of rail weighing 110 pounds and on roads wjere traffic is extra heavy these large rails are used altogether. Unless it is First Placed In an Envelope and the Stamp Placed on the En­ velope. After all that was said in the news papers and information from the gov ernment had said time and again not to send tinseled cards through the! mail without first enclosing them in an envelope, 159 cards had to be sent to the dead letter office in Washington today partly through the neglect of the sender in sending tinseled cards with out first enclosing them. Other rea sons for the cards not going to their destination was because of the ad dress on the card or envelpoe being insufficient and a street number or town and in some cases the state being left entirely out of the addrers. There are also about seventy-five cards in the office at present which will be sent to the dead letter office on next Monday unless the sender calls and pays the proper amount of pos tage due on the envelope or card. Notices are sent out by the govern ment to call at the office and pay the postage due or the cards will be sent on Monday to the dead letter office the same as the tinseled cards and those that had insufficient address cn them. The papers have said too, not to place the stamp on the card and then place the card inside the envelope as the stamp cannot be cancelled unless placed on the envelope, yet a num ber of cards were found inside the envelope with the stamp on the card. In the light tissue envelopes that are given at the book dealers or from whom the cards are purchased, there' is a little round hole in the corner of these envelopes just a little larger than a stamp so that the stamp could be put on the card and leave it un covered so that the cancelling machine could strike it off but the government found that in many cases the stamper or cancelling machine failed to can cell the stamp so an order was issued to place the stamps on the envelope when the cards were sent this way instead of on the card.

Not only Bhould every andltion of environment be made as ifohn as pio8slble, but it should be emembered that there are stages of [rowth during the life of the plant prhen surrounding conditions affect it different ways. And these differ nces are not hereditary qualities. For sample, one variety grows rapidly ind its tubers are half grown at a Krtain time, while at the same time linother variety has just begun to set tubers. A-drought at this time kills lie one variety but does not affect he other. The first, however, may eally be the best vaTiety and hasty (inclusions to the opposite would be premature. The real effect of selecting fluctua tions within a variety (such as select* ag the heaviest tubers to Improve the |rleld, is still questionable. It seems definitely settled that the use of dis sed and immature tubers as seed ^as an Injurious effect upon the suc- Itag.crop, but there is no evidence at planting the best tubers or plant DK tubers from the- best-yielding )Unt« will increase the yield of the ariety. Such an inheritance would Necessitate the supposition that germ sells of large tuber have a different nnttltution from those of a small tu ber of the same variety, and there is warrant for such an assumption. Wide variations or bud mutations ^re rare and have never produced nythlng especially valuable. They are ^t present more worthy the study of he acientist than the attention of the practical potato breeder. The universal belief that a potato fariety must degenerate through con Pnu?d, bud propagation appears to ave little ground either in theory or practice. The degeneration that some- J^oes take place is due to effects hrough the use of tubers which are kbnormal, from inhospitable soil or liimate, or from the ravages of insects pr fungi on the plants. The old idea hat a change of seed is necessary, is ilso a mistaken one.—E. M.

The grafting which is done at time of year is of the sort used nurserymen chiefly for the propa-a of apple trees, says Country Ger mm. One-year-old stocks are bou from the dealers, these being gro-. chiefly in the neighborhood of Tcrpei Kan., and costing from three to dollars a thousand, depending on size and quality. The scions are ci from bearing apple trees preferably, thejr may be taken from nurserv row The main requirement is to get the true to name and of the variety whici is desired to propagate. The grafting Is done any time dur lng the winter, preferably in Novem ber and December. The scion is cut as shown at The stock is cut as Af 'ft- '*-.J 4 SrVc *«!f 1 H*?. t- How Cuts AVe Made. shown at B, the cut being made at the crown of the stock. It will be seen that these two pieces are cut in exact ly the same way, however. They are then slipped together, the tongue of the: scion under the tongue of the stock, as shown at C. This work must be neatly done, so that the joint is smooth and perfect throughout. Some practice and a few cut thumbs are re quired before this can be done nicely at the rate of 2,000 a day. Neverthe less an amateur, after a short season, can do fairly well. The graft is now complete except the tying. It is tied with soft cloth dipped in grafting wax. or with soft cotton thread. The grafting wax is not essential. However, If it Is re quired, It may be made up from the following formula: Rosin, four pounds: beeswax, one pound tallow, oae pound to be melted together and preferably used slightly warm. As soon as the grafts are made, they should be tied together in neat bundles, about fifty or one hundred in a bundle, and put away in boxes with slightly moistened sawdust. These boxes can be stored in any good cellar, and the grafts are ready for planting when the grounds are ready in the spring. They are then set out in rows the same as any cuttings or garden seeds. FERTILIZER FOR ORCHARDS. Trees Must be Fed if You Would Have Them Bear Fruit. All' orchards, to be the most profit able, need to be fertilized. Land planted to fruit trees cannot be treat ed to a rotation of crops as is other soil, consequently It should have at tention in the way of applications of suitable commercial fertilizer. Of course, cover crops can be used to great advantage in renewing the soil supply of humus, and to a certain ex tent the supply of nitrogen, but they cannot, be expected to do it all. While, perhaps, most soils may be in fairly good condition as regards nitrogen, there are very few that do not need potash and phosphoric acid. These two plant food elements are generally lacking and experience has proved that their application is very profitable. On many farms the complaint that the trees do not bear is common and the farmer does not seem to know what is the matter. It does not al ways occur to him that perhaps he is not feeding his trees enough. They present a strong healthy growth of both wood and foliage and in every wfcy look as if they ought to produce a large yield of fruit, but for some rea son the fruit does not appear. The trouble is that the orchard Is starving for something to produce fruit on. The soil is lacking in the available min eral elements mentioned—potash nnd phosphoric acid. The need of these is indicated by the fruiting rather than the foliiige condition of the trees. Just, what fertilizer is best to use on the orchard is only found by ex periment. However, under normal soil conditions, where the yields of fruit are not satisfactory, a mixture con taining seven or eight per cent, of available phosphoric acid and from ten to 12 per cent, of potash will give good results and may be used with profit at the start. A little experimenting will afford data for future applications. An application of from 400 to 800 pounds of the suggested mixture per acre, relative to specific soil needs, is gen erally advised. In the above fertilizer we did not include any nitrogen. Where orchards receive clean cultivation until mid summer and then are planted to a cover crop which is turned under In the spring, there is not so much likeli hood of this element being needed. The excessive growth of wood and foliage indicate this to be the case. Where the soli is inclined to be thin or sandy about two per cent, of ni trogen should be added. The orchard fertilizer should be ap plied with the first cultivation ln the spring. It should be well worked into the soil in order that the tree roots may derive the benefit rather than the cover crop which is sown later in the Beason. OA® AN ALFALFA EXPERIENCE. Judge Humphrey Tells of His Success with Crop, Among the successful growers of al-1 falfa in Illinois is Judge J. Otis Hum-' Phrey of Sangamon cfounty. Speaking of his experience with the crop at the Tazewell county farmers' institute re-1 cently, he said: I tried for three years to grow al falfa and it died out every time, but I don say that a crop can't be grown simply because I failed in producing It. The scientist is among us, and he is the only man who actually knows, and he has finally taught us how to the crop is worth $50 an acre I sow one bushel to five acres that is 12 pounds to the acre at first.

It supplies more green feed for the hogs than anything else, and this is a great prevention of hog disease. I have tried it, and I think I know about it. I would not give a ton of alfalfa for two of timothy. You cannot feed a horse anything in the every other food to get alfalfa. GATE HINGE AND BRACE. It Can Be Made from an Old Wagon Tire. FARM NOTES.

The land was rich as cream and thoroughly tiled. 1 put on bone meal, lime and manure and plowed it under. "After working the ground into the best order I ever saw a field, I had it woiked just as much more. It was 1 harrowed until there was not a clod in it.

In my judgment, alfalfa is the most marvelous food and forage plant, con talning the most of the elements that sustain life of any in existence. Corn, wheat and oats have no power .to get nitrogen from the air. but al falfa Is the greatest nitrogen-fixing plant on earth. It secures from the air four times as much nitrogen as I red clover. But it will also make you money while it is storing nitrogen for you. I believe that alfalfa, one year with another, is a better money-maker even than corn. 1 The combined "gate"hinge and brace shown in the accompanying illustra- ttion has been (age on our farm, being both simple and durable. The combined hinge 1 and brace is made from an old wagon tire, the ends be ing worked into hinges after the proper bend has been given to the tire. Holes are bored at suitable distances. It will be found, I says Prairie Farmer, that the fact that the hinge and connecting brace are all one piece of iron will aid materially in preventing the gate from sagging. Such a combination is perhaps a little I more expensive than the ordinary hinge, but it will be found that the extra cost will often be returned in added durability. Sow clover with oats.
