ties of the government he will never tell
you that he is opposed to the Chicago

the crime of being young man is one
that while you can grow out of 1t you can
never defend it, but I want our oppo-
nents to understand right now that the
fact that 1 am young man does not
mean that there is going to be any child's
play in this campaign. (Applause.) We
have a call and we are prepared to de-
fend and we expect to wage an unceas-
ing warfare against every man who de-
clares either for a gold standard or for
eign domination in domestic affairs. We
shall not object if any Democrat leaves
the party. Any man who feels more at
home in the Republican party than he
does in our house is not a welcome guest
We will find it easier to fight them when
they get where they belong. All that we
ask is that when a Democrat leaves the
Democratic party that he shall have the
candor to tell us why he does it and not
slander the toiling masses of the United
States. If you will put some questions
to your opponents they will have to an
swer or quit talking politics. The first
question l want you to ask of your oppo-
nent is whether he is for gold standard.
What you want to knowis whether he is
in favor of gold standard or not. If he
says he is in favor of an honest dollar you
tell him to let you know what kind of
dollar and you will tell him whether it is
an honest dollar If he saws he is for
gold standard then tell him he is a man
without party, because no party in the
United States has ever declared for a
gold standard. (Applause) If he says
he is opposed to the gold standard and in
favor of bimetallism ask him how mucn
he is in favor of bimetallism, and ask
him if he is in favor of it when other ma
American people want it. If he says he
wants to help us and what chance he
thinks there is of their doing it. ST our
condition is good now then the Repub-
lican party made a great mistake when
it pledgeh itself to get bimetallism in
stead of the gold standard. If it is bad
we are interested in knowing how long
it is going to stay this way and how
much worse it is going TO get. These are
only a few questions and think even
that is enough to stop any argument
which you will have with your opponent.
l urge you to remember that this
cause rests upon the people themselves.
They must fight this battle; they must
carry this cause to success. (Enthusi-

RIOTS AT CONSTANTINOPLE
The Ottoman Bank Is Attacked and
Shops Looted
The Movement Thought to Be Revolutionary
and the nobs Are Increasing--War-
ships VIII Keep Order

CONSTANTINOPLE, Aug. 2e.-At
1:30 this afternoon score of men armed
with revolvers and bombs invaded the
Ottoman bank. killing number of
gendarmes on guard. Closing the doors
OF the bank to prevent the advance Of
the mob, the employees fled to the
quarters of the bank building occupied
by the tobacco syndicate. which has
control of the collection of the taxes on
tobacco throughout the Turkish en-
pire. The invaders mounted the roof
of the building. and from the windows
fired at the police in the street. The po-
lice returned the fire in vigorous fash
ion and several were killed and wound
ed. The riot then became general, shops
were sacked and bazaars invaded AMI
the widest excitement prevailed
throughout certain quarters in the city.
At 5 o'clock the bank was reported still
in the hands of the invaders.
A later report says there is no doubt
but that the movement is revolutionary
in plan and scope and that it had it's
origin at the secret meetings of the
Hintchakist Armenians. About forty
of the rioters were still in possession
of the bank at late hour this evening
despite all the efforts of the govern
ment forces to remove them. Advices
from the disorderly sections of the city
late tonight were to the effect that the
riots still continue and that the mobs
are constantly increasing.
A bomb exploded in Constantinople
near the guard house. Many soldiers
were killed and wounded.
Her majesty's ship Dryad at once left
the Rapia, where she was anchored, and
proceeded to this city. 1t is also ex-
pected that the French and Italian
guardships will reach Constantinople
at an earyl hour In the morning. II. M.

In an address before the Ayrshire
Breeders association Prof. H. w. Gown
said: Natural starters. These are
easily made by any butter-maker. The
method of preparing one is simply to
procure a few quarts of good sweet
cream from source which is the most
reliable for being clean and pure, and
allow this cream to stand in warm
place until it sours. The cream thus
soured will contain many bacteria and
commonly, or at least in many cases, If
the cream is from reliable source the
species of bacteria which develop in
it will be the species that pro-
duce pleasant flavors. Such soured
cream may then be poured into
the large vat of cream for a starter
and the result will be that II the starter
does have the proper kind of species the
cream will ripen more rapidly and pro-
duce a better quality of butter than
when 1t is allowed itself to ripen nat
urally. Thus the natural starter simply
allows to grow in the cream the species
which are already present, but II the
cream is from good source the results
are found in practice to be very favor.

LIQUID Manure as Top-Dressing.

A bulletin of the Iowa station says:
The application Of liquid manure at
the rate of 1000 pounds per acre in
creased the yield of grass 26.5 per cent,
equivalent to $50 pounds of hay per
acre. observations will be taken on
the condition and production Of these
plats during the coming summer to
note the continuation Of the benefit re-
sulting from fertilizing grass lands.
At this rate 80 tons Of liquid manure
applied to a 40 acre pasture will in
crease it's grass producing capacity
26.5 per cent, or cause it to grow IL
tons more hay the first year, and,
based upon these results, clover disced
into 40 acres of thin soiled blue grass
pasture will increase its grass produc-
ing capacity 65 per cent, or cause 1t to
produce 80 tons more hay. The infer
ence seems warranted from the fore
going results that the grazing capacity
of many pastures may be fully doubled
by liberal top dressing or by the use
Of clover seed and the disc and har-
row.

Observations on HOG RAISING
]. M. Welsh, before the Missouri
swine breeders, said:
We are all aware of the influence Of
a thoroughly bred sire upon the herd;
and yet it is mistake to expect salts
factory results in breeding unless the
sows Of the herd are bred to point
where form, color, and potency become
fixtures.
The absence of uniformity in form
and color in a herd may be set down
as an indication of indiscriminate and
faulty breeding.
There is a tendency on the part OF
breeders in some localities toward
hog lacking in range and substance
sufficient to produce the desired weight
at a given age. This is due, perhaps,
to the erroneous idea that hog with
much size must be rough animal.
Also to the fact that the market de-
mand is not for heavy-weights.
Hogs of rapid growth are usually Of
good size at maturity, and If properly
bred they are readily prepared for mar
ket at any age. The swine breeders of
Missouri have, as rule, maintained
better growth and size than is found in
some states where extreme demand pre-
walls for particular finish in externals,
regardless, to some extent. Of real
uuality.-Ex.

from diseases. We keep our coops
clean, with plenty of lime around them.
We have found the Buff Leghorns very
good layers, and last year we had
cockerels that dressed two pounds at
eleven weeks old. Having seen the
experiences of many, in their success
and failures in crossing, we tried two
crosses last year. The first was
Buff Leghorn cock on Golden Wyan-
dotte hens. The chicks matured
early, and the pullets are excellent lay
ers The second was Buff Leghorn
cock and Light Brahma hens. The re-
suit was not so favorable as in the first
case. The chicks matured very slowly,
and, while the full bloods and the
chicks of the first cross had plump and
very meaty breasts, these latter were
all skin and bones. I am inclined to
think that it pays best to breed from
standard breeds Of some kind, and for
me, none are SO satisfactory as the Buff
LeghOrn.

WHERE IT'S GOLD.

Country Where II Lighted Candle finds
1t Very Hard TO Keep Warm.
Cold is merely relative term. The
resident of semi-tropical countries
shivers when the thermometer falls to
30 degrees, while the Laplander and
Eskimo think it is comfortable at zero.
For real cold and plenty of it, one
must go to the polar regions. Think
If living where the mercury goes down
to So degrees below zero in the house,
In spite of the stove. OF course, in such
case, fur garments are piled on until
man looks like a great bundle of
skins.
DR.. Moss, of the polar expedition of
1876, among other odd things, tells
of the effect of cold on wax candle
which he burned there. The tempera-
ture was 35 degrees below zero; and
the doctor must have been consider
ably discouraged when, looking at his
candle, he discovered that the flame
had all it could do to keep warm.
1t was so cold that the flame could
not melt all the wax of the candle, but
was forced to cut its way down, leav-
ing sort of skeleton of the candle
standing.
There was heat enough, however, to
melt oddly shaped holes in the thin
walls of wax, and the result was beau
tiful lace-like cylinder Of white, with
a tongue Of yellow flame burning in
side it, and sending out into the dark
ness many streaks of light.

Beers HATE THE ENGLISH.
And They Have Several Good Reasons

And They Have Several Good Reasons
to Do So.
In the earlier encounters between
British and Dutch at the cape, the Brit
ish invariably had the victory, says the
Nineteenth Century. In 1895 and 1906
at the battles of Nuremberg and
Blaauwberg, on each Of the occasions
when the British forces took possession
of the cape, our troops had easily the
best of it. 1t can hardly be said, how
ever, that the back country farmers
had much to do with these affairs. The
battle of Blaauwberg, thanks to which
the English became finally masters oil
the cape, was a very hot affair. The
Dutch fought bravely ami lost 700 men
dead and wounded. The British, under
Gen. Sir David Baird, suffered to the
extent of PIP dead, wounded and miss
ing. Between 1906 and 1S4S there were
various small risings and instructions
in the eastern part of Cape Colony, in
which, however, the Dutch were in
variably worsted. When we remember
President Kruger's clemency to DR..
Jameson and his followers after the re-
cent raid, we can scarcely plume our
selves on our own deeds in similar
emergencies.
In 1916 small rising among the
Beers of the eastern province was pun
lshed with extreme severity. Hendrix
Prinsloo, Stephanus Betman, Cornelis
Faber, Thennis de Klerk, Abraham
Botman and ]. Kruger, were all sem
fenced to death as ringleaders. OF
these, Kruger no doubt distant con-
nection of the present Transvaal presi-
dent, escaped with transportation for
life. The remaining five were igno-
miniously hanged in presence of great
concourse of friends and relatives. The
gallows broke down under the weight
of these unfortunates-they were all
turned off together-and long delay
occurred. There was a terrible scene,
which one shudders to think of even
now. The poor, half-hanged men, as
they slowly recovered, crawled to the
feet of the commanding officer, and
begged for mercy. Their prayers were
aided by the bitter cries and tears of
the multitude standing around. But
there was no mercy for them. Just be-
fore sunset these unhappy Beers were
hanged again, this time effectually
enough. The neck between the hills,
where this scene took place, is still
well known in Cape Colony as "Slagh
tiers neck" slaughter neck), and one Of
the biggest grudges that the Beers still
cherish against the British is due to
tho undying memory of that dreadful
day.

ers, make friends with your COWS and
test them.
Mr.. Morse.-I have an old German
woman in my employ who does this.
She has made friends with the cows
and they like her and yield good sup
ply of milk when she milks them. Re-
Gently she took vacation, and tried
doing the milking. l treated them
right, but the amount of milk they gave
shrank at once and did not greatly in
crease. But when she came back they
at once yielded their accustomed
amount. of milk. l think that women
are better around cow stables than men,
if the stables are kept clean, as all
stables should be.
Q.-Why will some cows keep clean,
while other cows standing beside them
and under like conditions will get
dirty?
Mr.. Helm.-Nearly every COW stable
in this state is fixed not to keep the
cows clean. but to keep them dirty
at least, that Is the natural inference
of the conditions under which they are
kept. The great difficulty is that the
managers are too low and the cow has
to back off to lie downfall compels
her to lie down in the filth. I build
mine so that the COW can put her head
under it when she lies down. and she
can thus lie down where she stands.
l nail 2x4 in front of her two fore
feet, and another 2x4 in front of her
two hind feet, and fill the space between
the two joists with bedding. When
she lies down, she will lie on this bed
ding and keep clean. With calves. we
do not nail down the 2x4s, but merely
lay them down against cleats, which
can be removed to increase the length
of the bed as the calf grows.
Q.-Are not those 2x4s in the way
when you milk?
A.-The milk pail sits on them, so
they rather help than hinder the milk
ing.

An Ever Available Rcason.

Disease In cattle, sheep and swine ID
q pretext that is always at hand Tor
national stock inspectors to use when
It suits their interests or fancies When
a nation wants to protect its home pro-
ducers by keeping out foreign grown
animals, all it has 10 do is to 60 on
an exploring expedition after some
disease. They are sure to find 1t soof
er or later, and If they do not ind IT
they can scare up something enough
like 1t to answer the purpose. AS there
is no part of the world where the do
nestle stock does not suffer some from
disease, therefore 1t becomes an easy
matter to exclude wherever exclusion
is desired.
II the United States wanted to shut
out all foreign importations of animals
it could easily do so. 1t would not make
any difference If the disease would not
reproduce itself in this country, the ex-
cuse ought to be sufficient in the eyes
of our foreign friends. Take, Tor IN
stance, the exclusion from q certain
foreign country of our beeves under
plea that Texas fever exists In the
United States. Though 1t has been ex-
plsined to them that that fever could
not possibly live in that country, ana
that the disease is carried only by the
ticks and not by contact Of animals yet
the prohibition stands.
We do not suggest that the United
States resort to such underhand treat
ment of the subjects of foreign nations.
In all probability the animals brought
in are not more subject to disease than
our own. On the other hand, our AMI
mails that are exported to foreign coun-
tries are not more diseased than their
own. We realize that the above reason
is used in closing the ports against
American stock for the reason that ex-
clusion without reason would expose
