Too Early Sowing OF Root Crops

Too Early Sowing of Root Crops.
Most of the roots, like beet, carrot
parsnip and turnip, are true bienniais,
growing their root the first year ana
sending up their seed stalk after the
root has been partly dried out ana Is
replanted the following spring. But IN
our hot summers this drying out which
usually requires a whole winter Is ac-
compllshed in midsummer. The result
is that the very early planted seed or
beet, carrot and other root makes It's
root growth early in the season and by
fall is ready TO send out a seed stalk.
This, of course, makes the root worth
less. The common radish Is one or
thes natural biennials that always
tend to becomeannual when early plant
ed. If seed is put in the ground any
time before midsummer. 1t will produce
seed pods before cold weather comes.

Fatteninp AnimaIs Quickly.


The old saying that time is money is
doubly true with regard to fattening
animals. There is no profit in slow fat
tenlng of anything. The largest amount
of nutritious food that can be digested
and assimilated is always the most
profitable for the fattening animal. The
food required for maintenance OF the
animal to merely keep 1t in store con
ditionfis just so much wasted If no more
than this goes with it. This does Lot
mean that fattening animals are to be
given food without limit. That will
injure digestion, and then, no matter
how liberal the feeding. the animal will
not thrive. Old animals are generally
fattened slowly. For this reason their
flesh is tough. But If they are fattened
quickly, as they may be by combining
some grain with succulent food, their
flesh will have the tenderness and
sweetness that are commonly associ-
ated with the flesh of young animals.

The Nominees Sentiments.

Chicago.-When VIM. j. Bryan, of
Nebraska, concluded his speech before
the convention yesterday afternoon it
was plain to observe that he had left the
mastery impress of his great intellect
upon the minds of his 10000 hearers.
Few scenes in history equal the tumul-
tuous ovation given him. He spoke in
support of the adoption of the platform
that had just been presented. The con-
vention cheered wildly. Bryan stood
with smiling face and uplifted arm mo-
tioning for silence. He spoke deprecat-
ingly of himself but" he added, "the
hum blest citizen in the land when Glad
in the armor of righteousness is stronger
than the hosts of error" This struck
the key note which sounded to the raft
ers. Thereafter the silverites sent up
yell after yell after every striking period.
The cause of silver, Bryan declared,
was the cause of liberty, of humanity.
Therefore he deprecated any denuncia-
ton of President Cleveland because the
issue was not to be brought down to the
level of personalities.
To the complaint of the east that the
silver men would not discuss the ques-
ton he replied that this convention was
assembled merely to render the judgment
by the plain people. "We are fighting
in defense of our homes, our fresides
and our families" proceeded Bryan, as
the assemblage rose for another demon
stration. "Our petitions have been scorned
but now We have no petition to offer,
for we are strong in our right and defy
them. They ask if Robespierre will
arouse. No! This people need an An

Turning to the income tax question
Bryan declared it was not unconstitutlon.

the great economic principle of An in

Here the speaker paused as If to close
when all shouted, Ego on" Ego on"
"The Republicans nominated at st

proceeded. HE is the man who used te

"The American nation is able to legislat,

The speaker referred to the mercies'
