So long as hogs or other animals are
being fattened the corn wastes very fast
in the crib, and il any accident occurs
to delay the annual slaughtering, the
farmer may be left with a crib much
nearer bare Of corn than he will often
times wish during the coming months.
1t is always a good plan to have one or
two hundred bushels in the crib during
the summer. A very little fed TO sows
and pigs while they are at grass will
keep them thrifty and make growth at
u time when it costs much less than it
does in cold weather. Besides, the corn
kept over is more nutritious and more
easy to digest than the green corn as it
is husked, which cannot be eaten in
large quantities without danger of fer
menting in the stomach. -BOston CM-

Destroying Milkweed.

d. NJ. Windsor-It is not surprising
that you failed to destroy the patch Of
milkweed in your field by simply pillow
ing it and giving it the cultivation that
is usually given hoed crops Probably
all the tillage you gave the land resulted
in some diminution of the vigor of the
roots. But so long as there are any left
alive buds will start from them, and
they grow fast cough to very soon occu :
py their old places. The milkweed roots
pretty deeply, so the ordinary blowing
does not reach the system of horizonta
roots which is usually on the bottom of
the deepest furrow that has ever been
plowed in the field. A little deeper than
this, 80 as to turn up some of the hith-
erto unplowed subsoil, will bring up all
of them. This can best be done in the
spring. Then cultivate often enough so
that each shoot is cut of before it reach
es the surface. and by fall the whole
patch will be destroyed. 1t Gao then
be sown with rye or winter wheat and
seeded 10 the fall with timothy and in
spring with clover, so as to make a per-
manent meadow. This cultivation will
develop good deal Of plant food in the
soil, and will also kill out most of the
annual weeds as well as the milk weed !.

LOOKING AFTER OFFICIALS.

The Tribune is very much worried
about Mr.. Dunbar and his management
of the county clerks office. 1t is most
ers shall look into his office. CWhen-
ever they do they will find him there.)
All this worry is for the public good
and nothing else. But why worry
about one public official and not an
other? Now there is United States
Marshal Miller's office. 1t is a very
important one and should not be neg
lected. If the marshal is not very much
maligned and misrepresented, he has
been devoting the greater part of his
time since his appointment to the
building of a Mckinley party in Utah,
that party which was defeated in this
state in 1896 by majority of more
than $4,000. Hasn't the marshal shown
pernicious activity in the matter of
having the heads of Democratic post
masters cut off? The marshal is such
a pleasant fellow that we much dislike
to say anything in the least unkind of
him, but he seems to have actually
grown fat, if not sassy, in the pleasant
occupation of chopping off the heads of
Democratic postmasters. Why doesn't
our contemporary call halt on Mar
shall Miller as well as on Clerk Dun
bar? If its solicitude for the public
welfare is genuine and not simulated it
will do this. Marshal Miller needs far
more looking after than does Clerk
Dunbar. Let him be looked after.

REGARDING MIR. PRATT.

Regarding Mr.. Pratt and the matter
of his confirmation, which is now pend
ing before the city council, there seems
TO be a little difference of opinion rela-
tive to The Heraid's position in some
quarters.
Some time since The Herald had oc-
casion 20 say that it was souarely OPP
for political reasons, and on the ground
of public policy.
The Herald claims to represent public
sentiment in this matter, aside from
speaking as a party organ, and in OPP
posing Mr.. Pratt it is not waging a
personal war against him. having no
desire whatever to do him a personal
injury. because there is no one connect
ed with this paper who has any reason
for bearing him malice Therefore. in
opposing his confirmation, The Herald
is not voicing the private opinion of
any particular person connected with
the paper, but, so far as it can, it is
labOring for the public good.
Since Mayor Clark, to satisfy a nom
partisan political obligation, nominated
Mr.. Pratt for the position of chief of
police, and then personally solicited his
confirmation by appearing before a
committee of the city council and
speaking in his interest, there
has not been a single valid reason adj
vanced by Nr. Pratt, or any of his
friends, or even by his personal organ,
the Tribune. why he should be con-
firmed, or why his name should be con-
sidered in connection with the position
he is striving to secure.
The Herald is opposed to Mr.. Pratt
because the great majority of the peo-
pie of this city, regardless of party or
creed. think that no matter how well
qualified he may be to fill the position,
is possible for a man to be in every
way well qualified to fill a public posi-
ton, yet to so arouse antagonisms that
the public good demands his retire
meat.
Mr.. Pratt has filled numerous posi-
tions in this city and state, both public
and private, and, so far as The Herald
10 dMdIG, he Ids always QOLS Ills Quly,
both as a private citizen and a public
officer; and while some of his official
acts have been subject to criticism, and
justly so, his offending has not been of
that character which would warrant
him being charged with dishonesty.
\ ct, after all, his official career has not
been so brilliant as to arouse even a
suspicion IN the minds of any consider
able number of his fellow citizens that
his services can not be dispensed with
endangering the public safety. |
There are others.
Mr.. Pratt and all his hackers. in
Guiding his personal organ, will have to
admit that if the office of chief of po-
ice was elective, that he would stand |
40 show of election by the people. Then |
why, in all reason, should he and they |
rsist upon his being made chief of po-
ica9
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1898-01-18

Why can't the Tribune fight fair? 1t
has been making a personal attack on
Mr. Dunbar upon the plea that he is
neglecting his official duties, when it is
a well known fact that the real reason
is because Mr.. Dunbar is not in favor
of Mr. Pratt. Mr.. Dunbar chances to
be chairman of the Democratic com
mittee. an honorable position, and he
would be reereant to his trust and dis
regardful of his office if he were not
opposed to Mr.. Pratt as chief of police.
1t is the province of the Tribune TO
combat Mr. Dunbar for political rea-
sons, but why does it not have the
courage of its convictions and say, I'VE
do not like you, Mr. Dunbar, because
you are opposed to Mr.. Pratt as chief
of police" By the way, Mr.. Dunbar
is not the only person in Salt Lake City
who is working hard to prevent Mr.
Pratt becoming chief of police.

DID BACON WRITE DON QUIxoTE

A st. Paul dispatch to the Chicago
Times Herald says that Ignatius DON
nelly is at work upon a new Baconian
in the hands of the publishers within
a few weeks. In his new book he will
take even wider and more startling
grounds than he did in his first book
He claims to have discovered a new
rule governing the cipher. In brief, he
will claim that Bacon not only wrote
the Shakespeare plays and sonnets, but
that his facile pen was probably re-
sponsible for the great Spanish work,
Don Quixote." For this he expects
another castigation at the hands of
the critics.
An interview was had with Mr.. Don
nelly, but he did not, in it, disclose any
of his reasons for thinking that pos
sibly Bacon and not Cervantes wrote
Don QuiXote," though he did say that
he will show in his new book that the
stone. when the Bacon biliteral cipher
is applied. works out by a regular and
consecutive rule, these words:
Francis Bacon wrote the Greene,
Marlowe ard Shakespeare's plays
Why this biliteral cipher does not
shCw that Bacon wrote everything that
was written between January %, 1861,
and April 8, 1926, is rather strange;
perhaps when it is perfected it will
show this.
On the subject of the authorship of
Don Quixote." the great cryptogram-
ist says:
There are. even as incredible as it
may seem, illusions to the great Span
ish work, Don Quixote," the author
of which died in the same year that
Shakespeare did, which creates a sus-
picion that that work. too, was from
the brain of the same ubiquitous and
Eniveisal genius, Francis Bacon.
1t is quite as idle to dispute cipher
as a question Of taste The sources of
shakespeare's plays are fairly we'll
known, and also those of the great
novel. and they are separate and dis
pretty well indicated in that famous
meeting of Master Nicholas, the curate,
and the don's niece when they expur-
gated his library Among them were
the "Amadis of Gaul,' "Palmerin of
the 'Diana of Montemayor.
and the History of the Famous
Knight, Tirante ell Blanco." And there
were May others. But none of these |
is classed among the sources of Shake
speare's plays. But if Bacon did write |
the history of the Ingenious Gentle |
man of the Mancha." it is another great |
big feather in his cap that is already |
llled with waving plumes. But did |
BACON write It in Spanish, and have |
Shelton translate it into English, or did |
he write it in English and have Shelton |
translate it into Spanish? And does
Mr.. Donnelly get his key from the /
spanish or the English version? An evil
Ience that Bacon wrote the novel is the
fact that dear old Sanchez had greasy
appearance Donnelly convinced him
self that Bacon wrote Montaigne's Es-
says. and the evidence is just as strong
hat he wrote Don Quixote.
One hardly knows which to admire
nost-Bacon's universal genius, or
special genius They are
great pair.

Iefavette,s Pose.

In her recent book THE Home of the
Lafayettes." Miss Edith Sichel narrates
the following anecdote of the friend of
Washington in America:
On returning from his visit to America,
in 1925. Lafayette stood for his portrait.
His sister, Madame de Montagu. was
much embarrassed by the thought that
he would probably have been painted
with the Declaration of Rights in his
hand. but she was too delicate TO ask
him.
On his first visit to her after his return
home she inquired what pose he had cho-
sen. Her curiosity made him SMILE
well. my DEAR he replied, Il am TAX
ing walk-my hat and cane in my hand
like this and he initiated the attitude
he had described.
