OUR FARMERS.
Care in Feeding Horses.

Over one-half of the fees that are
paid to veterinarians are due to an
impaired digestion in the animals
they are called upon to treat. In the
matter of feeding too much care can
not be exercised, as on the ability of
the horse to properly assimilate into
his system the food he eats depends
his usefulness. Especially when at
work, go far as can be done, he should
be supplied with food which is the
easiest digested, so that all the nutri-
tious parts will be absorbed into the
system, and go to make bone, flesh
and fibre. This will nearly always be
found in a mixed ration rather than
in any one material. Usually ground
or chopped feed is easier masticated,
and consequently is more thoroughly
digested, than if fed whole. One ad
vantage in feeding variety is that
better appetite is maintained lUen

StOnR the COugI
A Breeding Experiment.

Amos F. Gerald of Fairfield, Me-, is
about to embark in a new and novel
breeding enterprise at Sout Freeport
where he has large tract of land en-
closed for the purpose. He has pur-
chased herd of Polled Angus, of Gal
way cows, now being exhibited at the
Maine fairs, and will cross them with
pure blooded buffaloes, of which he
owns several fine specimens. He
says: "The Polled Angus, originally
Italian stock, has been found to be
best suited to crossing with the
thoroughbred bison. A halfbreed of
this type gives marked satisfaction,
while three-quartered animal is a
complete success. The three
quartered animal retains the vigorous
physique of the COW, with many of
the characteristics of the bison.
SIN Nebraska, where the expert
ments have been successfully con-
Quoted, the hair of the halfbreed, or
cattelo, as the new animal is profess
sionally called, is found to be super
ior to that of the original bison, as
while it has all the strength of buffalo
hair, it has finer and silkier texture,
which greatly increases it's value. "Er.

Roosevelt On Work.

The presidents off-hand speeches
have contained many epigrams worth
preserving. The following are speci-
mems:
81 pity no man because he has got
to work. despise the man who will
not work. He is not worth envying;
no matter at which end of the social
scale he is"
Material well-being must be the
foundation of happiness, but on it you
have to rear superstructure of kindly
brotherhood, all striving for decency
in public and private life, or but scant
will be the good of prosperity"
"Each of US, unless he is contented
to be slumberer on the earth's sur
face, must strive to do his life work

SOUND DoCTRINE.

We aote that Congressman John Lamb
Of the Richmond District, Is taking u
strong position against any Federal in
reference with the hours OF labor in
the states, and there should be no doubt
about the CO rcctness Of MS position. OF
course in the Navy Yards. Federal Build
ings. and other places exclusively under
the control of the Federal Government,
il has the same power to fix the hours
OF labor that 1t has to make other reg
ulations; but the contention OF some ex-
other bnanch of the general government
shall have power to regulate the hours
OF labor in any or all of the States is
not at all tenable.
But while this ought to be beyond con-
troversy. we note that The West Point
(va.) Plaindealer. takes a more advanced
position and contends that a State has
no more right to fix the hours of labor
or to NEEDLE with the subject than the
Federal Government has. Here is part
OF Its argument:
II we hired man to work for so much
per day and tell him a day is from early
morning until evening, and he is willing
to accept the price and hours named,
the State has nothing to do with it. If
the factories, where they can work by
gas or electric light, choose to agree
with their employees upon eight or ten
hours for a day. 1t Is all right and sat
iefactory. But in the country, where the
days are short, and work scarce six
months In the year. and just the reverse,
and much rushing TO be done about three
or four months In the spring and early
summer, let them arrange the hours to
suft themselves, their work and season.
If they put in eighteen hours a day for
a month let them alone. We have the
Same right to say fifty minutes make an
hour as to say eight hours must make
your day.
This strikes us as sound reasoning,
and It Is in line with the position more
than once taken by The Advertiser. The
state laws should prevent both employ
ers and employees from violating their
contracts without good cause. but we
do not admit that either the State or
Federal Government should fix the hours
OF labor or the amount to be paid. Those
who labor and those who employ labor
are the proper parties to regulate both
time and wages, and any outside inter-
ference is officious intermeddling. We
hold this position to be good and sound
democratic doctrine.

NORTHERN PEOPLE
COMING SOUTH.
The Work of the Southern Railway
in This Line.

Des Moines Uowa) Homestead.
The cry of the time is for cheap land,
cheap in price. hut rich in productive
ness. Land has become high>fin the
Middle West that farmers are looking
elsewhere for more favorable location
where they can become owners and not
renters. The Southern States are offer
ing some exceptionally good bargains
in land values and in locations that are
easily accessible to railroads. A demon
stration of what these lands can produce
was exemplifed in the fine exhibit shown
on the Iowa State Fair grounds last
week by the Southern Railway. Fair Wis
itors were amazed to see what can be
raised in Southern States, and especially
was this noticeable in the many varie-
ties of grain grown. The showing of
fruit could not be excelled anywhere. and
the grasses grown for fodder were the
equal of anything in that line. There is
a fine field for the Northern farmer in
the South, and many of those who have
gone down there have made a great sue
cess of their EARNINGS. These lands are
suitable for every branch of agriculture
and can be purchased at very low fig
ure. This is especially so in the States
of Virginia, the two Carolinas, Georgia.
Alabama, Mississippi. Tennessee and
Kentucky. Mr.. John F. Olsen who had
charge of this fine exhibit on the fair
ground. said to a representative of The
Homestead that the people of the North
were fast finding out that a good farm
in the South was very valuable and thaS
other grains, besides cotton. could be
grown at a profit. No section of tho
United States can offer a better place for
stock raising at a less cost than the
South Water and pasture are in abund-
ance. Not an acre of this land requires
irrigation to make it productive. If any
of our readers are seeking home where
land is cheap and very productive, the
climate genial and healthful, educational
facilities good, and where success can
be most easily obtained, they should
write Mr.. John r. Olsen, Land and In
dustrial Agent of the Southern Railway

all inquiries and furnish maps and PAM

on the subject The Comercial says that
"a man entirely unfamiliar with machln-
cry buys an automobile of twelve to
thirty-tive horse power, jumps in, rushes
around TO his friends homes and invites
them for a spin, imperiling their lives
as well as his own" and adds:
The Metropolitan Street Railway COM
pany won't allow a motorman TO run
car until he has been thoroughly in
structed and for several trips the novice
is accompanied by an official or an eX-
perienced hand. 1T Is well known that
many owners of automobiles OF tremend-
Gus power are daily endangering the
lives of pedestrians in New York because
of their ignorance of tho principles con-
trolling their machines. They have been
told that one lever starts The machine
and another stops it, but they are al
solutely helpless when the MACHINE gets
out of order.
This is becoming a vital question in
some parts of the country, and it is
not to be wondered at that there is much
serious talk of applying a remedy, not
only as to those who are to run the ma
chimes, but to the speed at which they
may be run. The State of Connecticut
