savinx the Corn Crsp.

S0vtm4 the Corn Cr0ps
One OF the most wasteful methods Of
southern farmers is the custom Of
taking the ears of corn from the field
and leaving all the rest Of the crop to
decay ON the ground to be cleaned
mp in preparing for the succeeding
crop. The ears contain only -rbout one
half the feeding value Of the crop. and
even when the blades are gathered for
fodder, the proportion is practically
the same, for il the fodder. IS pulled
when at its best, 1t il done before the
corn is fully matured, and the weight
OF the grain is thereby decreased in an
amount about equal to the value of the
fodder. At the same period Of growth,
of little later, the corn should be cut
near the ground and shocked closely
in large shocks and tightly tied. The
ears will mature on the stalk all right.
The shrinkage in curing will admit an
abundance of air and gcod nrtri-
tious fodder will be the result. The
tsrs should be pulled ~ soon ~ condi-
tons admit and the fodder securely
stacked, or put under roof. In stack
ing be careful to keep the center very
much higher than the scircumfertEce
to allow for settling and still lave
sufficient slope to carry on all water
that may f;ll. Where the corn har-
vester can be used it will save large
amount of labor, not only in the har-
resting, but in the succeeding ham
ding Of the crop. Those farmers wso
have not cattle to consume this valua-
Die forage. and for that reason do not
save it, should secure enough cattle
for the purpose, and have them on
hand ready to manufacture this feed
into teef or butter for the market.
There is right and . wrcng way to
do things. Why should anybody
choose the latter2-Farp and Rsnch.

brigades of $4,000 each, and had fe-

ing been told that the. close-fttins
habit skirts were to be fashionable NO
longer, and that only skirts with
back breadths gathered or laid in
single, double or triple box. plaita
were to be worn, some of the smartest
gowns that have lately been seen have
had plain backs, and many of the
new costumes shown for summer are
also SO provided, we are informed in
Harper's Bazaar. Where the entire
back is not plain and the skirt has q
deep apron yoke in front. the yoke st

feet will be quite plain. with no full
ness at all directly in the back o.

The habit skirts of last season were
not, however, cut quite as are these
skirts, the latter having more fullness,
which begins, too, nearer the belt at
the back. The truth of the matter II
that the more successful dressmakers
do not now follow lavishly any very
marked fashion, but take some pretty
design, and modify it or Improve upon
it, to suit the wearer, and in this way
the gown is not simply q reproduc-

fashion has dictated ~ correct. At .

Dove Shooting.

Yearly, after the wheat is cut,
everybody who can muster up a
gun, HES 10 the stubble. Last
Tuesday the road between Forrest
City and the Mallory field, two
miles north of town, reminded us
of the good old days of " hust-
ings some on horse back, in
buggles, wagons, etc., and many
plodding-anyway to get to the
field for shooting. The field con-
sisted of about 80 acres, and the
birdswero plentiful ,as were also th Q
shooters. About twenty lined the
road and as many more scattered
over the field. All the afternoon,
the roar Of guns reminded US of
the good old times during the
war.
Not aware that there was "a
chiel amang them takin' notes, T"
many of our best shots resorted to
all sorts of subterfuges to get near
enough to the cooling birds. Sew.
eral were seen creeping in the un.
cut grain as though they were
stalking indians, but whenever
seen, they met with a warm re.
ception Of No. 7 shot from those
who disdained to take advantage
ofthc timid little birds. A popping
in the woods which sklrted the
fold, disclosed the presence of 4
couple of potato buyers-strangers
in our midst-who were filing
their bag with birds who stopped
to rest awhile.
Many birds were slain, and S.

as far as feathers were concerned,

THE CONSISTENCY OF 1T.

NUR esteemed contemporary, the
~ Call, has of late said a good deal
concerning it's consistency-the con.
sistency of its course in the past and of
it's present position. Let the past be
forgotten-it Is past and gone; it may
have been right or wrong-it is past and
has no further bearing in the case.
The present position of the Call, how
ever, is unique. 1t is study too deep
for the ordinary individual who attempts
to locate the consistency. Search where
you may its present stand admits of no
such thing as consistency, or even of a
substitute for that which it never had.
There are many subjects that could be
Ssed in the discussion of this question,
but we will simply take up the silver
question for q moment and see how con-
sistent our ne,ghbor is in that direction.
OF course the Call is for silver because it
says 80: "How can newspaper OF in
dividual best promote the interests OF
silver ID q 'c6mmunity?" would quite
naturally bs the question. The reply is
The Philipsburg mail., 1900-10-26

simply this: by giving those engaged in
mining every moral support and en-
couragement. This, more than any
thing else, will advance the silver indus
try in a community. The success Of one
concern will encourage others to come
here and engage in the same kind Of
business. Others will see that fair
treatment is accorded concern engaged
in silver mining III Granite county, and
as there are prospectors left here who
have not the cash required to develop
their mines and consequently willing to
sell to some more fortunate party, the
silver industry of Granite county having
the moral support OF its people and the
press might be an inducement for them
to invest in Granite county silver mines.
However, what do we find? There are
just two concerns engaged at present in
silver mining in this district. Where
does the Call stand regarding these con-
Germs? 1t is opposed to both-in favor
of silver and opposed to parties engaged
in silver mining There is consistency
for you-by the bushel. 1t is in favor of
silver and opposed to it at the same
time. 1t cannot say anything mean
enough against the principal industry in
the county or its officers and manage
ment. This, we presume, the Call would
say is furthering the interests of silver
in Granite county. If it is, it is certainly
new system with which few people
have so far become familiar. The cap
italist. however, who chances to pick up
copy of the Call and sees how con-
Germs now engaged in silver mining in
Granite county are being assailed by the
press, Will take heed of ever being placed
in a similar position. 1t will require
more than ordinary inducement 20 get
capitalists to come to the Flint Greek
district to engage IN silver mining when
they see the press engaged in such CON
temptiole business as to array Il COM
munity against its principal industry.
If this is the consistency the Call has
so much to say about it had better take
tumble it had better change Its course.

Here is bit of advice recently given

know how to vote in order to hurt the
trusts: he should watch the trust mag
mates vote and then vote the other way

watch Chairman Jones, the cottonbale

Senator Camden, big magnate in the
Standard Oil company, who presided the

This is what the venerable Senator
Hoar said in recent speech at Concord
Mass: "If the trust be as bad as Mr..
Bryan represents it, it is not, IN my judg-
ment, as great a danger as Bryanlsm.
You are not helping the cause of anti
imperialism by going into partnership
with Organism. You cannot mix tyran-
ny, dishonor, broken faith, anarchy,
license in one cup and have constitu-
tional liberty as a result of the mixture" ="

whole of the stupenduous indictment of
the public conscience against Bryan and

THE JUDICIAL TICKET.

NJ NOTHING is of more consequence to
v people than the prompt and i'm
partial administration of justice. I'm
partiality is assured by the election Of
honest men as judges and promptness
by the choice of those of such vigor of
intellect as to assure the least possible
humber of erroneous rulings upon which
to base appeals. Educati )Eal and iudic.
ial officers need not be chosen on polit-
ical lines. and yet 1t is customary and
pleasant to support the nominees OF ones
own party except in rare cases where
really unworthy men succeed'in gaining
party nomination, or the more fire.
quent occasions where we do not wish to
spare from the bench political oppon-
ent who has proven himself especially
| fitted to judicial duties. A the coming
election judge is to be elected in the
third judicial district, comprising the
counties of Granite and Deer Lodge
For the position the republican nominee
is Hon. George B. Winston of Anaconda
Mr.. Winston is a young man with bril-
liant record of professional attainments
who Is regarded by those who know him
as sure to make his mark in the world
1t is always fortunate for the public
when young men of such character offer
their services to the public instead of to
private clients, and in this case there
should be no hesitation in placing upon
the bench rising young man who will
bring to his duties thorough prepara-
tion, brilliant intellect, and the
strength and enthusiasm Of comparative
youth. While Mr.. Winston is the can
didate for judge whom The Mail, as a
republican journal, supports, it is pleas
ant to be able to say that there are
other candidates who commend them
selves to the people of this section
and by whose election the public would
receive no detrlment.

Our opponents in the pending cam
paign are pledged to the destruction Of
the protective policy. Do the American
people desire to return to the panic con-
ditions of 1898 to 1896? Do they wish
to replace the prosperous conditions of
the present with the Coxey armies. the
widespread destitutlon. and the general
misery of the free-trade, free soup house
era? The answer rests with the people.
Their votes on November will deter
NINE the question. Can there be any
