The newly elected president of the
republic. IVArtlguenavem, is believed
to be in sympathy with the Ideals of
the United States. He could not re-
main president a day without the sup-
port of this country, as he would be
promptly displaced and beheaded by
the Hobo element
The proposed Haitian treaty, which
when drafted will provide ample lati-
tude for the United States to Insure
the peace anj the prosperity of the
republic, cannot be mi.de effective
until ratified by the senate. The Hai-
tian situation In fraught with annoy-
ance and will be so for some time to
come. Bat this country Is accustomed
to doing the drudgery work for the
backward republics and It will per
form for this one the kind of service
It performed for Cuba and for San

Business Good In "Hard Times."
"What pecullai kink of a man's
mind it is that causes him to complain
of hard times when he is doing as well
as he ever did, I don't know, but it's a
fact that out In the West many per-
sons are talking hard times who are
enjoying tine business," declared for-
mer Representative Harry L. Maynard
of Norfolk, \a Mr. Maynard Is just
hack from a trip that tooK him to the
Pacific coast, whtre be spent several
weeks.
"Yes, some men In that country are
talking hard times while doing the
best business of their lives." continued
Mr. Maynard "1 don't understand it.
■When you pin them down, they admit
that their business is Just as good as
It was two or three years ago. yet they
appear to think It's their duty to com-
plain."
Work for Next Congress.
The president has admitted to those
•who have discussed the matter with
him that much money will have to be
provided by the next congress for ex-
traordinary expenses, and especially
for the national defense. But this
money, he believes, should be raised
by the Issuance of short term notes
or short term bonds Such an Issue
the president believes would be very
popular throughout the country
It is also the Intention of the admin-
istration to ask that the war taxes
now in vogue, which automatically ex-
pire in December, be renewed for an-
other year. It Is possible that re-
visions will be made in the existing
taxable articles, but this has not yet
been determined
Nation Awake to Facts.
' We have seen the nature and the
power of monopoly exhibited We
know that it is more apt to control gov-
ernment than to be controlled by it;
for we have seep It control govern-
ment. dictate legislation and dominate
executives and courts. We feel that
our people are safe only In the fields
of free Individual endeavor where
American genius and initiative are not
guided by a few men as in recent
years, but made rich by the activities
of a multitude, as in days now almost
forgotten. We will not consent that
an ungovernable giant should be
reared to full stature In the very
household of the government Itself.
WHOLE CROP HARVESTED BY USE OF SILO
Sgggg
5S55H
A Good Silo Adds Beauty to the Farm Yard.
(By W. J. FRASER, Illinois.)
The digestive organs of animals
that chew the cud are so formed as
to require comparatively juicy and
bulky food. The cow cannot, there-
fore, thrive 011 excusively dry food
so well as can the horse. The nearest
an ideal food that can be obtained for
the dairy cow is good pasture; but, in
many sections, for more than six
months in the year green pasture is
not available. The best substitutes to
use during this period are corn silage
and such roots as mangels and turnips.
Corn yields an average of twice as
much dry matter per acre as do root
crops, and since the latter require
much more labor, which in this coun-
try is relatively expensive, silage Is
far more economical.
Making corn into silage is a means
of preserving the grain as well as the
stalk in the best possible condition for
feeding and without the expense of
shelling and grinding. In feeding
whole corn, either in the ear or
shelled, many of the kernels are not
digested. With silage, the grain being
eaten with the roughage, nearly all
the kernels are broken during mastica-
tion, and, since they are somewhat
soft, are practically all digested.
By the use of the ri'o the corn Is
removed from the field at a time
when no injury is done the land by
cutting it up while soft. As the corn
Is cut before the blades are dry
enough to shatter, there is no waste
from weathering and both stock and
grain being in good condition, the
whole crop is consumed by the stock,
while with dry shock corn a largo
percentage of the leaves and butts of
the stalk is wasted.
It has been determined that one
cubic foot of hay in the mow contains
about 4.3 pounds of dry matter, and
that a cubic foot of silage in a thirty-
six foot silo contains about 8.9 pounds
of dry matter. From this it is evi-
dent that a cubic foot of space in a
silo of proper depth will hold more
than twice as much dry matter as the
corresponding space In a mow. It is
also true that on the average a larger
amount of digestible feed can be ob-
tained from an acre in the form of
silage than in any other way at like
expense. Making corn into silage is
then both an economical and compact
method of storing feed.
Much damage lias been done to the
cause oi silage by the extravagant
claims of its over-enthusiastic friends.
Although corn silage is not a complete
and balanced ration in itself, it is so
well relished that large quantities are
consumed. Being a succulent feed. It
tendj to heavy milk production, and
should be given an Important place in
the ration of dairy cows. It has
proved an important factor in steer
feeding as veil as in milk production,
but a steer cannot be finished on silage
alone, any more than a cow can pro-
duce her best yields of milk on such
a ration. To obtain the most economi-
cal returns, some dry rorghage should
be fed in connection with silage, and
a legume hay, as alfalfa, clover, or
cOwpeas, is the best for this purpose,
particularly for young stock and cows.
Economical milk can be produced
from these feeds without the addition
of grain, if the cows are not giving
more than two gallons of milk a day,
providing the corn was well eared
and both the silage and the legume
hay are of excellent quality. Cows
giving a larger yield must have grain
added to their ration.
A pasture will carry much mora
stick during spring, early summer,
and fall, than It will through the hot,
dry weather of midsummer. By help-
ing the pasture out at this season with
partial soiling, the cattle not only have
better feed during this critical period,
but more stock can be carried on a
given area than by pasturing alone.
As land increases in value and farm-
ing becomes more intensive, there is
greater need for soiling, and the most
satisfactory method of providing a
substitute is by means of the silo.
It requires too much labor to cut green
crops every day and haul them to the
cows, and besides there is necessarily
a great loss in being obliged to feed
the crops before they are fully mature
and after they are over-ripe.
No crop furnishes more feed to the
acre than corn, and with the silo it
can bo utilized for soiling, thus per-
mitting the whole crop to be harvest-
ed when at the right stage of matur-
ity and fed when needed, saving both
feed and labor.
LEGUME TO FERTILIZE SOIL POTATOES IN COWS RATION
There I: No Excuse fo • Man Who Cul-
tivates Poor Land in South—Yields
Can Be Doubled.
It will pay to grow some legume
after oats or wheat, or in the corn,
or during the winter between crops
of cotton and corn to plow under to
fertilize the soil
It will pay better to feed legumes
to good live stock and return the ma-
nure to the soil than to plow the
crops under direct for fertilizer, but
on soils that will not now produce a
profitable crop It may be the best
thing to plow under at least one or
two crops. It does not pay to culti-
vate poor soil, and it only costs the
seed and labor of seeding to grow a
crop that will more than pay for this
cost when plowed under, in the in-
creased yield the first year and then
repeat the increase the year follow
ing. There is no excuse for the man
who cultivates poor soils In the South.
He can grow the same one crop a
year he is now trying to grow and be-
tween these at practically no extra
cost grow a crop that will quickly
double his yields.—Progressive Farm-

Political Change Unlikely.
A practical nation is not .ikely to re- j
Ject a team full of the spirit of public i
service, and substitute, in the midst of
great tasks, either a party upon which
a deep demoralization has 'allen or a
pnrty which has not grown to the j
stature that would warrant Its assum- [

"Since the atfcte primaries. In which
former Representative Stanley was
nominated by the Democrats, the Re-
publicans are not bo confident,' said
H A. Devlin of Louisville at Wash-
ington "The Republicans were count-
ing on winning the governorship this
year because of the supposed disaf-
fection among the Democrats over the
utate-wide prohibition issue, but the
large vote given Stanley certainly
seems to indicate that the Democrats
are pretty much of one mind ou the

Veterinarian of Oklahoma Experiment
Station Gives Direction for
Handling Breeding Animal.
A breeder writes to Oklahoma A.
and M. college that he has a jack that
Is apparently In good health, but re
fuses to work. Dr. W. P. Shuler of
the department of veterinary medicine
of Oklahoma A. and M. college gives
the following directions for handling
a breeding animal of this kind:
"Provide sufficient vetol tablets for
a ten-day course of treatment. These
tablets contain yohimbine, a recently
discovered drug having a powerful
stimulating action on tho sexual or-
gans
"Secure tablets which contain one
grain each of this drug. This Is a
dose. It should be administered three
times daily in the food, or dissolved
In a half-pint of water as a drench.
"This is a much safer drug to use
than cantharides or 'Spanish fly ' and
Is surer In action."
Black Pig Is Preferred.
In the northern states color Is of j
little Importance, but In the south a
large number of pork-growers prefer
a black hog, as being less susceptible
to the heat and sun.
However, some southern hog-grow-
ers still cling to white hogs arid seem
to experleuco no trouble from that
source.

Kasota, Minn. — "I am glad to say
that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound has done
more for me than
anything else, and I
had the best physi-
cian here. I was so
weak and nervous
that I could not do
my work and suf-
fered with pains low
down in my right
side for a year or
more. I took Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vege-

different person. I believe there is
nothing like Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege-
table Compound for weak women and
young girls, and I would be glad if I
could influence anyone to try the medi-
cine, for I know it will do all and much
more than it is claimed to do." — Mrs.

Great Need for Improvement in
Methods.
Stability of United States.
The Constitution cf the United
States of America was adopted in
1789. In that year the French revolu-
tion began. Since 1789 Europe has
been remade. Among the nations
four stand out as "ancient"—Eng-
land, Russia, Denmark and Spain.
Yet in the past century and a quarter
those countries have lived through
governmental changes that show be-
side the stability of the United States
rule as exceeding large and signifi-
cant "shifts."
Year After Year.
"They can't fool all the people all

"Hut the summer hotel proprietor
manages to stick us for two weeks

"It's a case of love at first sight."
"Well, maybe It will work out all
right. I took four years to select my
husband, and look what I got."

more on the order of still life?
As Valuable Succulent Food as Any
of Roots Like Mangels. Turnips,
Etc.—Rich in Protein.
Potatoes are fully as valuable as a
succulent food in ration for dairy
eows as any of the roots, like man-
gels. turnips, etc. In food value as
shown by their chemical analysis,
they are fully equal to any of them,
being much richer in starch, equal in
protein and also nearly equal in fat.
This being the case, it is largely a
question of palatability and digestibil-
ity. Cows may not at first like pota-
toes as well as they do beets, but it
Is largely because they have not been
educated to eat them.
When potatoes are very cheap It
will pay to feed them to cows, but
usually they are worth too much for
human food to be used as live stock
food. Beets or carrots, etc., are not
usually figured as being worth more
than four to five dollars per ton for
stock food; according to this, pota-
toes must be as cheap as 15 cents to
pay to feed them.
KEEP SILAGE OVER SUMMER
Extra Supply Will Not Spoil During i
Hot Weather in Average Well- j
Built, Well-Filled Silo.
Don't worry' The extra supply of
silage left over from the winter's
feeding will not spoil during the sum-
mer in the average well built, well-
filled silo. In case of doubt, cover
what silage remains with straw, hay
or barn sweepings, tramp down hard
and dampen thoroughly.
At corn harvest remove the cover-
ing and fill as usual. You'll never
know the difference. But better than
all this, supplement your pastures
with silage during the dry spell this
summer.
Naturally.
"Wasn't that a terrible fight among
the animals in the zoo?"

Writer Points Out Evil in Practice of
"Limiting Supply"—Tons of Fish
Left to Rot Because Dealers
Wouldn't Take It.
As we approached the city on the
river boat my companion pointed to
tha lowlands on either side of the riv-
er and said: "Here is where most of
our sparagus is raised." Then he add-
ed with a faint smile: "And here is
where they had the great contlagratian
of asparagus."
"Conflagration of asparagus?" I re-
peated. "What do you mean?"
"Oh, the prices weren't high enough
to suit the controllers of the market.
So they burned up a few dollars' worth
of asparagus to limit the supply."
Lately I have been seeing a man
who spent the summor fishing with
nets, not for pleasure merely, but for
a living, writes John D. Barry in the
New York Telegram. I asked him
what kind of living is provided. He
shrugged Ills shoulders. "There's noth-
ing in it for the fishermen,' ho said.
"They're at the mercy of the bi<? deal-
ers. One day, for example, we had
a big haul of shad. We left it on the
beach to rot, tons of It. There was
no use in our sending it to market.
The dealers didn't want it. There
wasn't enough profit in it for them to
bother with it."
"Does that kind of thing happen
very often?" I asked.
He smiled in derision. "It happens
all the time. There's enough fish
thrown away every week to provide
food for thousands of families." Then
he became excited. "The big dealers
here have everything their own way.
The fish industry is one of the biggest
monopolies. It's a disgraceful tyran-
ny. The big dealers pay the fishermen
whatever they like. The small fish,
such as perch, they hate to have any-
thing to do with. They consider the
profit not worth their while. So
there's an immense waste in small fish
alone. And yet such fish is very good
eating and could be supplied cheaply
to the people."
In Paris there is a great market,
called Les Halles. There the French
producers from many miles around
send their produce. As early as elev-
en o'clock at night, in the country dis-
tricts, the rumble of the carts begins,
on the way with their foodstuffs to
feed the big city. In the early morn-
ing the activity in Les Halles makes
a great spectacle. Visitors go in
swarms to see it. Large quantities of
fresh supplies are sold at auction to
the hotel and restaurant keepers. And
all over the vast place there are booths
for sale of produce to the smaller buy-
ers. These Include the tradesmen
with small shops in different parts of
Paris. The market stocked in the
early morning, is cleaned out by night.
From the producers it exacts a per-
centage for the sales. In this way the
producers and the consumers are eas-
ily and conveniently brought together
to the advantage of both.
In London, at Covent Garden, a
similar system exists, and in many of
the continental cities. A few Ameri-
can cities are developing large free
markets. A great public market ought
to exist in every city and it ought to
be under the control of the city for the
benefit, not of the few, but of all the
people. It would protect both those
who supply the food and those who
consume the food. It would elimi-

The Best Mill
Cannot grind good flour from poor wheat, nor can the human body get good
health from food and drink which is not fitted to the individual.
Right food — the kind the system re-
quires, goes a long way toward putting one
on The Road to Wellville.
This road leads to comfort, happiness
and long life.
-Nuts
is a delicious food scientifically prepared from
wheat and barley.
In the making, the starch of the grains
is partially pre-digested for quick and easy
assimilation—and furnishes the nourishment
Nature requires for the daily rebuilding of
body and brain.
It pays to keep oneself in the highest
condition of physical and mental vigor.
WON'T MIX
Bad Food and Good Health Won't Mix.
The human stomach stands much abusa
but it won't return good health if you give
It wrong food.
If you feed right you will feel right, for
proper food and a good mind is the sure
road to health.
"A year ago I became much alarmed about
my health for I began to suffer after each
meal no matter how little I ate," says a
Denver woman.
"I lost appetite and the very thought of
food grow distasteful, with the result that
I was not nourished and got weak and thin.
'There was no one to shoulder my house-
hold burdens, and come what might 1 must
bear them, and this thought nearly drove
me frantic when I realized that my health
was breaking down.
"I read an article in the paper about some
one with trouble just like mine being bene-
fited by Grape-Nuts food and acting on this
suggestion I gave Grape-Nuts a trial. Tho
first dish of this delicious food proved that
I had struck the right thing.
"My uncomfortable feelings in stomach
and brain began to disappear and in a short
time I was again myself. Since than I have
