spider so common throughout the
country on a variety of plants and
resembles it so closely that it is only
with difficulty that the two species
can be distinguished. Nothing has
been published by this Department
concerning it other than a technical
description. 1t is treated, however,
in Bulletin No. 48, series of the Agri-
cultural Experiment Station of Louis
lana, by H. A. Morgan, pages 13O and
135.
1t is amenable to the same RENE
dies employed with success against
red spiders in the North. All of
these insects are extremely sensitive
to sulphur applied either dry or in a
wash, or in connection with other
substances. Flower of sulphur may
be mixed with water at the rate of
an ounce to a gallon of water and
sprayed over the plants, or the sui
phur ma be combined with strong
soapsuds and applied in the same
manner. For application of these
mixtures a force pump with spray
ing nozzle is a necessity. Kerosene
emulsion. and whale oil soap sOlu
tions r also of value against mites
and red spiders, and the addition of
flowers of sulphur will increase their
effectiveness.
Of course in large cotton fields
there will be considerable difficulty
in the efficient application of such
a spray, and no ordinary hand APP
paratus can be used to advantage.
Doubtless some of your planters are
familiar with the large scale spray
ing operations carried on some years
ago in the cotton fields further South
against the cotton caterpillar. In
some cases hand pumps were used
from carts which We're driven be-
TWEEN the rows, and in other cases

For red spiders as they appear in

that are succeptable to injury by

remedy is used by florists than fire.

SECOND HAND BAGGING AND TIES 2 Prices

along, but by the time winter ar
rived he was faced by the problem of
selling off his stock or buying food
at high prices. There was no other
alternative. He had far more stock
to begin with than he should have
had for the amount of feed on hand,
and then his reckless waste in feed
ing had made matters worse.
That sort of Acknowledgement is
often carried on in a lesser degree,
and animals are forced on the mar
ket at a loss in order to save the food
or the necessity of buying more. 1t
is not such "a difficult matter for a
man to figure out early in the fall
how much stock he can winter on a
given amount of food. It he has
sufficient of the latter to carry his
stock along he is justified in going
ahead and feeding literally, but if he
cannot winter them on what he has
it is better to weed out the fiOcks
now. Let this be the first economy
practiced. Before the stock is taken
from the pastures sell the poorest, or
those the least likely to make profit
able returns. Beyond this [ would
advise no one to sell at all. Simply
reduce the stock to the limits neces-
sary for wintering them on the food
at hand. The amount of food should
be sufficient for good liberal feeding,
and varied enough to satisfy the APP
petiteS Of the animals. They do so
much better on u varied diet that it
pays to have this ready for them at
all times. Especially do we want to
look out for the winter food of all
farm stock because we are coming
more to realize that it is winter farm
ing that pays the best. Only intelli-
gent, progressive and active farmers
can engage successfully in winter
dairying, poultry raising, and the
production of winter lambs. The
great mass Of farmers will stick to
summer farming at the season of the
year when difficulties are the great
est. 1t is by overcoming these greater
difficulties that he makes his larger
profits. WILLIAM CONWAY.

Something Bryan Won't Quote.

There is one utterance of Lincoln S
that Mr.. Bryan is not likely to quote.
1t was made in 1868 when the demo-
cratic leaders protested against send
ing Vallandingham across the federal
lines into the confederacy, and is as
follows:
He who dissuades one man from
volunteering or induces one soldier
to desert weakens the cause as much
as he who kills an American soldier
in battle. Must / shoot a simple
minded soldier boy who deserts, while
/ must not touch hair of the willy
agitator who induces him to desert :?
This is none the less injurious when
affected by getting father or mother
or friend into a public meeting and
there working upon his feelings till he
is pursuaded to write the soldier boy
that he is fighting in bad cause, for a
wicked administration of contempti-
BILE government. think that in such
a case, to silence the agitator and save
the boy is not only constitutional, but
withal great mercy.

Stop the Mud Throwing.

To the Advocate which is publishing
low assaults on Theodore Roosevelt we
commend the following gentlemanly
advice from the Davenport Democrat,
one of the leading democratic papers
of the state:
The Keokuk Constitution Democrat
and some other democratic papers are
publishing vicious assaults upon the
war record OF Theodore Roosevelt.
They declare that he murdered fleeing
men by assailing them in the back,
that he saw no fighting, that he did
not even know the lay of the land
about San Juan, and that he had been
nothing but a braggart and buffer,
who never smelled powder or saw
blood. These are not their charges in
precise terms, but are fair summary.
Yet only little over two years ago
at least some of these same journals
were landing Colonel Roosevelt to the
skies. He was hero enough for them
then, and was all the more pleasing
because his conduct in the matter of
the famous round-robin, and some
other incidents, permitted them to pa
rade him as hot enemy OF the admin
istration. His war record was good
enough for anybody. Why has that
record been so furnished because he
has been forced to accept a place on
the republican national ticket? In
other words, why be so partisan, and
so narrowly partisan, as to be motor
iously unfair? Does any cool headed
man think that can make votes?
Suppose the republicans we're to be-
gin to analyze the war record of Mr..
Bryan with the same animus and for
the same purpose. Isn't it possible
that they, too, might have little fun
as they go along? The people accept
ed Mr.. Bryan as they did Mr.. Roose-
welt; Joe Wheeler and Fitzhugh Lee;
as they did General Miles and Presi-
dent Mckinley; as Americans devoted
to their country. What is the use of
throwing mud today? There is no
place for it on either side of the cam
paign.
Audubon Republican. [volume] (Audubon, Iowa) 1894-1925, 1900-09-13

Do We want change, and if so what
for? Do we want to turn our backs
on the thrift and good times of today
aud return to the distress and hard
times of a few years ago? Democrats
and populists might just as we'll be
honest with themselves and eoncede
that the election of their ticket means
a complete revolution in the affairs Of
the nation. Revolutions at their best
are but experiments, and always dan
gerous. In this case any revolution in
the affairs of our nation would be
donbly dangerous because it would
necessitate a change from that which
we know is working for our good to q
something that has in the past resulted
in industrial paralysis and business
stagnation. We believe we are voic
ing the sentiment of the people when
We say let we'll enough alone. Shelby

Harlan Tribune on Conditions Of
Labor.

The Harlan Tribune evidently
thought that the Advocate needed some
help in its discussion with the REPUB
LIoAN over the question of the price o
American machinery here and abroad
and is contributing to the discussion
Its latest offering is the informa
ton that since the debate begun the
Deering company has shut down, throw
ing 1000 workingmen out of employ
ment. The Tribune thinks it asks 9
poser when with a flourish it asks how il
happens sin these times of piping pros
perity" that a protected industry is
thus shut down.
We had not noticed that the Deering
company had shut down. The Trib-
une does not say whether the shut down
is likely to be of long or short dura.
ton, whether it was for the lack OF
material, or lack of orders, or what the
trouble is. Neither does it state
whether in 1896 the Deering company
was running on full time, whether il
paid its workmen as much money as it
is paying in 1900, or how its business
compared that year with this year.
Indeed what it dosent say on the SUBJ
iect is much more important than what
it does say. ~
As the Tribune has thus introduced
the subject Of the condition of labor
engaged in manufacturing we will say
we are we'll satisfied with its condi-
ton as compared with what it was I'M
der the last democratic administration,
or in 1896. The labor organizations of
the country report great increase in
wages and employment since then.
The iron and steel workers report their
wages increased II per cent. Machin-
lists are reported as wages increased
since 1896, 40 per cent. These are
workmen whose labor largely enter
into the machines under discussion.
Iron and steel, which largely entered
into the machines the Tribune refers
to, is increased in production in this
country from 5000, 900 tons to 1900
COO in round numbers.
1t does not matter whether or not
that the Deering company is now shut
down, but it does matter a good deal
that the manufacturing industries Of
this country are dong about double
the amount of business they were in
1896. 1t means a better market for
Iowa produce and that is perhaps one
reason why our corn which was selling
then at twelve cents now brings thirty,
and that cattle and hogs are also much
higher.
We presume the Tribune if it can
hear of another factory closing a few
days will parade the fact. 1t gives
isolated facts instead of general results.
1t catches at straws because they are all
that are within its reach.

Last week the Advocate had an ar
ticle on "Finesse of the Republican

Advocate purposely misquoted us or
not. 1.-The did his action is contempt
