warner Miller spoke briefly In accepting
The permanent chalrmanship. He referred
90 past Republican conventions i'm New
York state, predicted Republican success
next November and attacked the DEM

other elections are conducted.
Then there was an invasion of women,
led by Susan Is. Anthony, asking for tho
endorsement of the woman suffrage move
ment Miss Anthony and Mrs. Green
lead spoke for the movement and related
the experience of other states. Mr.. Hurd
introduced resolution making stronger
the proposition 10 improve the state canals,
and 1t was adopted by the committee.
The plank favors canal legislation for
making the great waterways still greater.
1t was argued that this plank will bring
the party 10000 votes.
The proposition unfavorable in gen.
eral way TO the principles OF the Amer
lean Protective association gave rise to
much discussion, and finally was stricken
out by vote of almost two-thiris
against IL, and no provision of any kind,
either for or against, was enacted.

Ramie for the Sonth.

The little pamphlet published by
Prof. S. Waterhouse, of Washington
university, on the cultivation of ramie
should have wide circulation in the
south. The professor shows that the
plant can be cultivated with profit in
the gulf states. The soil and climate of
Mississippi and Alabama are as much
adapted to the growth of ramie as are
those of France, and in France a net
profit of 500 an acre on the plant is not
unusual.
Ramie fiber is claimed by its friends
to be stronger than hemp, as fine as
cotton, as glossy as silk, cheaper
than linen and more durable than
any of its rivals. 1t is used
with them all and also with wool
in the manufacture of dry goods and
clothing. That there is demand for
the fiber is seen from China's large ex-
port trade in the article, amounting to
500, 900, 900 pounds year.
Those who question our ability to
successfully compete with cheap
labor country like China in the manu-
facture of ramie fiber should remember
that our improved machinery is much
greater advantage than China's cheap
labor. The preparation of three pounds
of ramie fiber is a days labor for one
man in that country, while here one
man with a machine can turn out 800
pounds day.-St. Louis Republic

My next neighbor, A. ID. Grow. ono
OF our very best farmers, had field Of

a dairy all these years that the
writer has been farming with

crops of clover until recently. last

his field, which was timothy sod with
little clover in it, giving it a heavy
covering. My field had the clover roots
and second-crop clover plowed under.
Now, the fact that he used a planter
would make some difference with the
result; but his soil was so drv that
about the only injury came from a

be hard to do any better than he did.
There is no use in being modest about

good enough.-Cor. A. B. c., of Potato

HERE AND THERE.

The farmer who has to stop work
to haul wood during the rush of early
spring work gives weeds and grass a
decided advantage.
Butter is only cream from which
more water and caseine have been re-
moved, than the usual method Of
Dreaming milk.
While ordinarily the COW needs but
little exercise, yet generally it will be
found best to turn out the cows for an
hour or two every day during the win
ter that the weather will permit.
Cream can be kept sweet until
wanted for churning by keeping low
temperature, but care should be taken
to stir thoroughly twice each day.
During the year 1898 there were
marketed of cattle as follows: Chicago,
1888, 400; Kansas City, 1,66O,S Oma-
ha, $50, 456; st. Louis, 756, 4S5. This
makes total for the four markets of
6,403, 1874.
When turnips are fed to mich cows
it should be at milking time. Those
who have carefully experimental in
this matter say that the turnip flavor
will be eliminated before the next
milking, and will not appear in the
Eilk.
Whats good for the goose is good
for the gander." No farmer would
think of feeding his horses poorly dur
ing spring or summer blowing. Why
not apply the same "horse sense" to
dairy COWS?
The farmer who owns his home,
however poor it may be, is never out OF
work. In fact, it may be said, with
due regard to truth, that the poorer
the farm the more employment the
farmer has.

1t is said that during the hard
times in 1912 COW was sold at Frank
fort, KY, on twelve months time, for
one dollar. The COW was valued at $50
before that time.

sand last seasons pheasants; price low
this season."
Cock pheasants for shooting means,
I take it, birds properly bred and fat
tened, and educated up to the business.
And a great convenience it must be to
those who have to entsrtain royal and
noble sportsmen, to be able to lay in
the raw material for big bags at few
days notice.
What | want to know is, why the
shooting of beasts cannot be brought
up to date, as the shooting of birds has
been? Why does not the Geological
society undertake to send out lions
tigers, and big game generally, prop
erly fattened up, and not too fresh to
be ''battued'' in the parks of the aris-
tocracy and plutocracy? Why should
it be necessary to travel all the way to
South Africa, and undergo all sorts of
fatigue and ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
even personal danger-in the pursuit
of sport?''
At the German imperial hunts it is
now the practice to keep a careful
record of the names of the sportsmen
and of the game killed by each of
them. A guest may get possession of
the antlers of a stag the horns of a
buck, or the tusks of wild boar, if he
wants to carry any such mementoes of
the sport; but the body of an animal
cannot be obtained unless it's full
market value is paid to the treasury of
the court hunting Office. Even the en-
peror is subject to the rule, and the
whole of the game which is killed is
sold en- bloc to dealers, under the SUI
perintendence of the chief forester in
whose district the hunt has taken
place.-London Truth.
