lev Baptist association convened with
the Asherville Baptist church. The
gathering was large. one, composed Of
delegates and visiting brethren from
twelve churches. The Scottsville Bap-
fist church was represented by M. E.
Grover and wife. There were five other
pastors present. Rev. Grover was cho-
sen moderator, and M. l.. Marshall, of
Beloit, secretary. The meeting through
out was very interesting and large
amount of important business was trans
acted. A great degree Of spirituality
pervaded the entire session of the asso-
citation. Reports from the churches
showed large increase in membership,
being near one hundred by baptism,
quite number by letter. The next an
nual meeting will be held with the Bap-
fist church of Ada.

Rapid Growth of Trees.

It has often been said, that as soon
as you can excite a personal interest
in the planting of trees, the forestry
question will settle itself One OF
the mistakes too frequently made is,
however, the encouragement of the
idea that it takes centuries to get
trees large enough for timber pur.
poses II properly planted and prop
erly cared for, as they ought to be in
well ordered forest plantation,
growth is extremely rapid, and good
timber trees could be obtained within
quarter of a century. Near where
this paragraph is written, there is
specimen of silver maple, Acer dasy-
carpum, not fifteen years since it
was a seed, which is four feet six
inches in circumference; and an
American Elm, about the same age,
which is five feet in circumference.
Facts like these could be easily null
tiplied, showing how easy it is to get
profitable forests in very short time
when the great public necessity and
consequent profit becomes matter
of exact figuring. -Meehan's Monthly.

That Object Lesson.

Kansas City, Mo-, Journal.
It was but seven days after the pres
ent administration was inaugurated that
President Cleveland gave utterance to
the following prediction and it's attend
ant astounding declaration, which should
be carefully read in the light of subse-
quent developments:
''This country is going to have the
hardest times during the next six months
it has experienced in many years. Times
will be exceedingly hard. Money will
be close and it will be withdrawn from
banks and boarded up in such way as
to create great distress. expect to see
many banks fail. There will be many
factories and shops closed and there will
be thousands of men who will go into
bankruptcy. I shall be sorry to see in
dividuals suffer, but don't intend to
raise my hand to prevent it. What this
country needs and must have is an OBJ
ject lesson. We must have hard times
and business failures and bankruptcy
and certain amount of distress before
congress will realize it's duty and per-
form it. I propose to give the country
an object lesson"
Not only was this made matter of
record in the newspapers at the time,
but when Mr.. Cleveland's attention was
called to the publication he read it care
fully and gave it his unqualified in
dorsement, saying: "That is what
said" It was the first note of alarm
sounded. NOBODY else had seen any in
dication of financial panic. It will be
remembered that's year of unusual finan-
cial prosperity was at that time predicted
by the standard monetary reports. The
president either enjoyed most remark
able facilities for gauging the speculative
pulse of the country, or he knew that
he had the power to produce the very
condition of things of which he spoke
and was determined to use it. That he
was fully conscious of his great power
for evil and that he did use it to the ut
termost will eventually be the most
marked feature of his public life to go
down to future generations in authentic
history. Coupled with the declarations
of his party against the unprecedented
prosperity of the industries of the coun-
try the threat was SO used as to make
the object lesson complete.

Land in England.

Land has been rapidly decreasing
in value in England, due to unre-
strained competition to which the
British farmer is subjected. It may
be best thus for the mass of English
people who are engaged in commerce
and manufacturing industries, but it
has certainly been hard for the land
holders. Recently valuable farm Of
500 acres in Colchester was sold for
$50 per acre. Sixteen years ago the
same land sold at 1925 per acre, or
more than four times as much as now.
The failure of English crops because
Of the drought that has prevailed
this year will doubtless throw many
more farms on the market. The
present summer lot Of 178 acres, on
which $1,000 had been spent for
sold for $4,000. Another
farm of 299 acres with buildings was
sold for So, $50, and this farm has un-
til very recently commanded 1925 as
annual rent. At this rate farming
land in England will soon become as
cheap as it is in the older States Of
this country.

Sweet Corn for Stock Feeding.

Animals as we'll as men and women
have a sweet tooth. 1t pays some
times to crafty it. The starch of
all corn and grain is changed to
glucose sugar by the SALIVA and gastric
juices Of the stomach. But in eat
ing the sweet corn the sweet taste is
apparent in tie mouth. The result
is that more saliva is secreted and
the work of digestion is aided. Fat
tening animals after eating all they
will of grain will, if they have been
used to sugar, eat still a little more
Of that; They will digest the whole
as we'll as they will the smaller
amount The reason WHY people can
not thus safely crowd their digestive
organs is because they eat meats and
other foods hard to digest, and then
mental worries make digestion less
perfect than it is in the calmlY-con-
tented ruminant Worrying a cow
with dogs as is yet the practice,
makes the cow less able to digest her
food

What to Do With Surplus Milk.

In the fall season Of the year milk
farmers are much exercised as to
what to do with the surplus. The
cows and the pastures are doing their
best and the market will not consume
any more fresh milk, or not more
than at any other times. The sur
plus that is sent to the city must be
made into butter, and this business
must always be done at diSadVan-
tage in the city, as compared with
the country, for the reasons; first,
rents are higher in the city than in
the country; second, the freight on
the milk is more than on the butter;
third, the skim-milk and buttermilk
have more value on the farm for
feeding to pigs and poultry than they
have in the city, where they ale
mostly wasted. The value Of milk
for butter-making depends upon how
rich it is in butter; the value will
range with butter at % or 80 cents
per pound, from ~ cents per can for
some of the best samples down to 20
cents or less for some Of the poorer
samples. The farmers IN the milk
producing regions should organize to
provide a creamery where the surplus
milk Of the netghborhood can be
worked into butter without the ex-
pense of sending it to the city, where
it is not wanted and where it oper-
ates to depress prices and discou rage
the producers Creameries should
test the milk of patrons daily and
pay for it according to the butter it
will make, and not by the quart or
by the pound. This is only simple
justice to the patrons and will soon
show them which cows should be sold
and which kept for butter produc-
tion. When farmers in the large
milk producing towns learn to COM
bine and take care of the surplus
milk they will be less at the mercy
Of the middlemen, who now obtain
the lions share Of the profit in hand.

Revolutionary and Infamous.

Atchison Champion.
The order of Gov. Lewelling was that OF
an official under the absolute control of
madmen. Under every form of law; un-
der every shadow of right; according to
to all precedents; under the provisions of
the constitution and the forms of the
statutes, as construed by the supreme
court of the state, ''the Douglass House"
so termed, was the legal house OF repre-
sentatives of the. state of Kansas. That
body was coordinate branch of the
state government. It was not inferior
to but the equal Of the executive. The
governor could call the legislature in
extra session, under certain circum-
stances, but he had no power to dissolve
it or fix the limit of its sessions. He
has the power to veto bills but, aside
from that, he has no more legal power
to control the legislature or either
branch of it, than has the king of the Sand
wich Islands. The legislature makes
the law and the governor executes 1t.
Governor Lewelling was not seeking to
enforce any law when he issued that or
der to Col Hughes. On the contrary
his order was violation of law. 1t was
more than that. It was revolutionary
and Infamous. He had no power to de-
termine the status of that house, or to
dissolve it by proclamation to at
tempt to drive it from its hall VI ct arm
is. That act alone ought to consign
Lewelling to the shades of eternal con-
tempt, and his party hackers to oblivion.
Col. Hughes was an officer OF the state
militia. AS such, he was bound to obey
the orders of his commander-in-chief, the
governor of the state. But there was an
order to commit an act which meant
civil war. Suppose Col. Hughes had
been ordered to blow up the capitol with
bombs! Technically, refusal to obey
would have been disobedience of orders.
The order given was as certain to lead to
the death of innocent men, as would the
order to use bombs. Col. Hughes did
not obey. He has been found guilty by
a court martial and dismissed from the
service. The whole affair is SO tinged
with partisan malice that the verdict is
an honor to Col. Hughes disgrace.
Technically, he should have resigned
when the order was given. Then the
governor would have found a partisan
tool ready and willing to shoot down
republican members in cold blood.
What would have been the result? Who
can tell? Had the governors henchmen
fired one shot at a member of the legal
house, Kansas would have been a scene
of fratricidal strife from the mouth of
the Kaw to the Colorado line. Fortu-
nately for Kansas, the revolutionary and
anarchistic order of the governor was
treated with contempt. No odium at
taches to Col. Hughes because of the
verdict. The people understand fully
the partisan malignity of the Lewelling
crowd and the final decision will be in
accord with the fact.

Oats and Soil improvement.

The question of the effect of the
oat crop upon the soil is one that has
been considerably discussed, and a
pretty general opinion has prevailed
that it was largely impoverishing. A
farmer in the State of Maine has
conducted experiments for seven
years that show some interesting re-
suits The land employed was stu
ated upon a hillside and the soil a
gravelly or slaty loan that becomes
dry early. The experiment was COM
menced after crop of fodder corn
and with soil in what might be
termed az fair condition. The first
season the ground was plowed the
Goth of April and the oats sowed, the
surface being narrowed thoroughly.
This rse has been prosecuted for
seven successive years without the
use of any fertilizer. The crop has
been good each season, the crop har-
vested this season being about forty
bushels per acre. The land has al
ways been sufficiently dry SO that the
ground could be plowed and the
seed sown in the latter part Of April,
aud, as result the crop would be
ripe and harvested in August The
grain was cut with grass scythe by
hand, Leaving the stubble from six to
eight inches high, or as high as posi-
BILE. AS soon as convenient after the
harvesting of the grain the
ground is plowed, turning the
stubble under carefully. In
the spring the same was plowed
again, the oats sowed and thoroughly
narrowed in-the amount Of seed be-
ing three and one-haIf bushels per
acre. BY this practice it is believed
there is no impoverishment of the
soil, and the experimenter proposes
to follow this course until learning
from actual experience that there is
impoverishment Of the soil. The
amount of stubbIe left to be plowed
under would do much toward main
tanning the fertility of the SOIL

The Welsh tin platers are much con-

ity that the Americans will themselves
be making as much tin plate as they re-
