Mr. Watterson, in the Courier.
journal, thus lays down law aud gos.
pei for democrats:
There are in the democratic party "a
handful Of prOtcctiomlsts. Where
they are not idiots, they are Interested
parties. They have no business iu the
democratic party. They would. if
they were honest get out and ioin
she republicans.
Mr.. Watterson is the same gentle
man who was in favor of reducing
the national debt to 81, 900, 100000, and
perpetuatlng it at that figure-for the
benefit OF national banks and bond
holders. IN view OF such dcclara-
tion it is an open question whether
Mr.. Watterson is not the man who
ought to get out OF the democratic
camp. A perpetual national debt is
not democratic principle, any more
than a protective tariff is.

Wheat Raising in Belgium.

Belgium is the most carefully and elab-
Orately cultivated country in Europe, and
the Belgian farmers raise larger crops per
acre in their small, unfenced and finely
lined farms than are raised anywhere else
Farming there partakes of the nature of
gardening; indeed, it would be called gar
dening elsewhere. Wheat is the impor-
tant crop, and the management of it is par
ticular to what other people would call an
extreme. The seed is sown in the fall
spread broadcast and thick over rich and
well prepared plant beds, similar to those
which Missouri tobacco raisers prepare for
their tobacco seed. The young wheat
comes up thick, rank and strong in the
fall, and remains so all winter, forming a
mat on the ground.
In the spring the ground is thoroughly
prepared by deep plowing and narrowing,
after which it is marked off in drills ten
inches to one foot apart, one way. The
wheat plants are then pulled up from the
bed in punches and carefully picked apart,
one at time, and dropped at distances of
four to six inches in the drills in the field.
After the dropper follows the planter, who,
with trowel or thin paddle, makes holes
in the drills at the proper distances, and
sets out the separate plants in the same
manner as strawberry, tomato or tobacco
plants are set out.
When the work is done there is wheat
field planted in drills one foot apart, and
with the plants six inches apart in the
drills 1t is tedious and particular pro-
cess. But on the small fve-aere Belgian
farms, worth $500 to $500 an acre, it am
ply pays for the trouble The Belgium
wheat fields after being planted are care
fully cultivated between the rows by hand
until the plants are too high to admit of
further work. The plants branch into
stools, from each of which shoots up stalks
bearing heavy heads of grain, and when
the harvest comes the yield is 100 to $50
bushels of grain to the acre.

The Plaques of History.

The earliest plaques of which there are
any account of, those described in Exodus,
occurred in Egypt 1491, B. c. In 534,
B. c., there was plague at Carthage so
terrible that parents sacrificed their children
to propitiate the gods. In 1877, B. c., in
the Greek Islands, Egypt and Syria, people
died at the rate of 1000 day In Rome,
A. d., so. 10000 people died daily.
Another plague at Rome, A. d., 256, took
off 5000 a day. In 430 Britain was
scourged so that the living were hardly
able to bury the dead. During the years
746-749 Constantinople lost 100000 of
its population At Chichester, England,
in 772, $4,000 people died, and in 954
Scotland lost 10000 people. Ireland was
sorely visited in 1172 and 1904, and again
in 1889 At that time 200 people were
buried daily, In 1407 London lost 3d.,
600 citizens There was a fearful pesti-
lence at Oxford in 1741. The dreadful
sweating sickness occurred in London in
1906 and again in 1913. In most of the
towns half the people died, and Oxford
was depopulated. In 1922 thousands
were swept away in Limerick. The
sweating sickness revisited in England in
1923 and again in 1851. In 1603-4 3d.
578 perished of plague in London. Con-
stantinople again lost 100000 people in
1911. In 1926 London lost 80, All in
habitants. In 1852 Lyons lost 10000.
In 1856 100000 people died at Naples in
six months In 1864 London's great
plague took off 6S,596 inhabitants In
1870 10000 people died at Marseilles. In
1878 $4,000 inhabitants of Bossora,
Persia, died of plague. In 1892 100000
persons died of plague in Egypt In
Barbara 5000 people died daily, and in
1899 247, 900 people perished at Fez.
Asiatic cholera first appeared in England
at Sunderland, October 26, 1881, and in
North America at Quebec, June s, 1882,
and in New York, June 22, 1882. 1t
revisited the United States in 1884, slight
ly in 1919, severely in 1855, and again
lightly in 1867. In 1829-3O 100000
people died of cholera in Russia and
Germany. In 1889 53,293 people died
of it in England and Wales, and in 1854
these countries lost 20,097. and Naples
10000 persons In 1865 10000 people
died of cholera in Constantinople

Take Good Care of Your Cows.

There is a loss that all farmers can guard
against and that is the effect of the winter
storms, both of continued cold rains and
early snow storms, that come so suddenly
and chill the COWS to the very marrow. 1t
makes no difference in how good flesh the
COW may be, the sudden cold will shock the
system and there will be- an almost total
suspension of milk, the draughts upon the
system to withstand the cold calling for
the part that should furnish the milk sup
ply. 1t is not great job to put the COWS
in the warm stable, and from those fall
stores that have been provided, so feed
them that there will be no diminishing of
the milk. The deal of ''toughening an old
COW to stand the cold" is one of the relics
we had almost said barbarisms-th
needs to be expunged from every dairy
mans creed, 1t is practice that requires
a double restorative in the way of care and
feed and has its after effects that could
have been avoided if the stable and a lib
eral feed had been substituted.
The careful owner of COW should always
consider that the udder is highly ner-
vous and vascular organ, provided with
finely dif'used circulatory and secretive ap-
paratus, and that slight injury may have
a very serious effect upon it. 1t is most
probable that the cell structure of the
milk glands is itself the source from which
the milk is derived, and that these cells
are replenished from the arterial blood con-
veyed to and distributed through the I'D
der. When, therefore, it is considered that
in a COW giving thirty pounds of milk in
twenty-four hours, all this quantity is ac-
tually produced by the two fold change Of
blood into cells and of cells into milk and
cream, the activity of the organ which per-
forms this enormous work must be, indeed,
wonderful; and it should not be surprising
that supposed insignificant circumstance
may produce some unexpected and serious
results Bearing this in mind, one who
keeps COW should ever be watchful and
cautious against the least variation Of treat
ment that may so easily affect the condi-
tions of the milk.

Ensilage.

A Philadelphia gentleman who has just
returned from visit to the celebrated
Havermyer farm at Mahway, Bergen coun-
ty, n. j., states that Mr.. Havermyer is a
great believer in ensilage and has no less
than 36 silos on the place; "a of them are
II feet long, s feet wide and 30 feet deep,
while the other II are the same width and
length, but only p feet deep. The ensi-
lage is stored in these silos and fed to his
splendid herd of jersey cows, of which he
has III, and all perfect beauties. He has
80 acres Of land sowed with corn for ensi-
lage, which is cut by two Ross cutters, each
of Is tons per hour capacity. The corn is
cut in half width lengths. After being pre-
pared the ensilage is fed to each COW at the
rate of about 40 pounds morning and eve
ming. During the day the cows are turned
into ten-acre field where there is plenty
of shade and water On this treatment
the cattle thrive and give much greater
abundance of milk than by the old method
of feeding.
Our informant states that he also visited
the 140-acre farm of John Y. Smith, of
Doylestown, Bucks county, and found that
gentleman was feeding his cattle in like
manner He has four silos 40 feet long,
26 feet deep and 16 feet wide, which are
divided into four compartments. Mr.
Smith stated that before he began feeding
ensilage he could keep only "A head of
cows on his farm; now he has 81 and keeps
them better than he could in the old way
From his investigations our informant is
firmly impressed with the belief that this
method of feeding cattle is great improve
ment over any other and that it will event
ually be universally adopted Westchester,

Direction of Rows of Wheat.

An old wheat raiser, who is generally
successful, said in conversation the other
day that in his experience he found it best
to drill his wheat east and west instead of
north and south. His argument was that
in the winter and early spring when we
have thawing weather during the day, and
freezing at nights, wheat drilled east and
west would not heave out or winter kill, as
would that drilled north and south He
asserts that the sun being in the south, and
the wheat stalks being between the ridges
made by the drill hoes, the sides of the
ridges would thaw out while the north
sides, being shaded, would not thaw out so
much, and the wheat roots would not be so
liable to be killed. If drilled north and
south the sun would shine alike on both
sides of the ridge, thawing it out and
causing it to spew up, throwing the wheat
up and letting the roots be exposed to the
freezing at night, hence he had always, if
possible, run his drill east and west.
Again, he said that in the early spring
and summer, when the wheat began grow
ing, it received more benefit from the sun s
rays drilled in this way than if drilled north
and south, consequently the yield on fields
drilled east and west were better than if
drilled in any other direction His argu-
ment impressed me so that l concluded to
try the experiment of sowing two plats ad-
joining each other, the quality of land
being as nearly alike as possible, sowing
one and one-forth bushels to the acre on
corn land that had been plowed well and
kept reasonably clean of weeds when the
corn was growing, and thoroughly harrow
ed before drilling. have never before
taken any notice of which way drilled
