SELL THE POOR cows.
They Are . Positive Detriment TO the
Dairy and . steady Source
of Loss.

In the great business world no man
now thinks of succeeding with inferior
machines. The farmer that keeps
cows should take the lesson to heart
and discard all dairy machines--cows
that are not up to modern require
ments. No matter what machine
costs, Il il better to throw Il out ON
the dump than use II at constant loss.
Only good dairy machines can be profit
ably used. The good cows make but
ter at profit. The ordinary dairy
cows make butter without profit or
loss, and the poor cows make butter
at q loss. Now IL Is evident that NO
matter how much . COW costs, II IL
best to send her to the butcher II abe
either loses money or makes butter
with no profit. There are in the hands
of farmers many cows that have cost .
good deal of money once and were per-
haps good cows at one time, but have
outlived their usefulness. These
should be fattened up at once and sent
to the butcher. Some men say they
will fatten and dispose Of their COWS q
few months hence. when they have
dried up. But what IL the use Of keep
ing cows at all II they are losine
money for their owners every day.
The sooner they are sent away the
richer will their owners be. Farmera
and dsirymen can AFFORD TO keep only
good cows. All others are detrimepk
to the farmer and the farm.

DIVIDING ROUND sILO.
Solution Of . Ticklish Question Tha<
Has P~ssled Many Teeders
More or Less.

A reader from Canada asks for the
best method of dividing round silo
which recently came into his posses
sion. Should the partition be put in
crossways of the openings or extend
from the openings? If the partition
extends from the opening, shall 1t ex-
tend from the center of the opening or
from one edge? Figs /, 2 and show
the three plans. BY putting the par
tition, as in Figs. 1 and 2, the silage
from one-half must be thrown across
the other, which means much extra
work in emptying a silo. The parti-
ton should be placed as in Fig. 3, and
good doors made to fit the opening in
each side. Use paper, or what is bet
ter, felt to make the joints air-tight.
The reader also asks II It would not
be all right to have the boards Ont
and put in the partition as the silo IL
filed. 1t would be impossible to make a
partition air-tight when put in In such
q manner. Too much care cannot be
taken in putting in such partition.
The ends will have to have much work
where Joined to the walls or air will
get through when one side is empty.
The work should be done in a good and
substantial manner, as there is great
pressure. Both sides should be filed
simultaneously and well compacted at

all times. 1t would break down the
best made partition II one side was
put in at time. After 1t is well set
tied IL one side Is taken out the press
ure is not SO great.
When taking out the first slide, have
q large number of braces ready the
proper length and as fast as the silage
is used, put in the braces. Fig. shows
the braces in position from the sides
Of the silo TO the partition. These
braces should have some pieces at the
ends running the opposite direction
to the material against which the
brace is to support. That Is, II the
silo is stave and the partition horizon
tai to the brace, the end pieces should
be as in Fig. 5. II the timber of the
outside of the silo is horizontal, the
brace should be as in Fig. 0. When
one side of the silo is empty, there is
no danger of the wall giving way II
these precautions are taken. Nextyear,
when filling, the braces as well as the
end pieces, should be taken out and
laid away for another year. BY this
method, the man with a small herd can
build moderate sized silo and have
silage through the dry time, as well
as winter at very small outlay OF
money.--Orange Judd Farmer.

NOTHING BUT PROSPERITY.
rae 0.ay Issue Upon which the Re-
Dublican Party Needs 10 De-
DeDA fer Success.

The republican campaign text book
just issued presents prosperity as the
paramount issue of the campaign Of
1902. The record is not of prosperity
for one year, or two years, but for five
years. 1t In not a record of prosperity
for bankers, investors, or manufac-
turers alone, but for the whole Amer
lean people, says the Chicago Inter
Ocean.
The record IL not of an era in which
the manufacturer has prospered at the
expense of the consumer, nor the mer-
chant at the expense of the purchas-
er, nor the industrial centers at the
expense of the agricultural districts
1t is record Of period in which all
have shared in the most wonderful
years Of wealth in the history of the
country.
In the election Of 1896 the republic
ans promised that, with the election of
Mr.. Mckinley to the presidency, there
would be renewal of manufacturing
activity and a return to prosperous
conditions. The Mckinley policy was
put in force in 1897. In the five sue
ceeding years the excess of exports
over imports was seven times greater
than in all the 1903 previous years of
the government.
To be specific, the excess Of exports
over imports in the 10s years from
1790 to March 4, 1897, was $685., 02s, 4S7,
while the excess in the five years from
March 4, 1897, to March 4, 1902, was ST.
707, 993, 1874, the excess of exports in
each year since 1897 being greater than
that of the entire 1Os years prior to
the inauguration Of President McKin-
ley.
There is ne gainsaying this record.
It is the best possible measure of our
producing capacity under favorable
conditions. We sold abroad in five
years more American products by
$2,7O7, 993, 194 than we bought of for
eign products. This means, of
course, that there was a great in
crease in the value Of manufactured
products; a great increase in wages
earned by those engaged in indus
trial pursuits.
In the same time the value Of the
corn, wheat and oat crops Of the
country was doubled, and there was
an increase of 100000 in the
value of live stock. There was an
advance in the price of what farmers
had to sell, but there was a CORE
spending advance in the earnings of
those who bought products of the
farm.
In 1896 and 1900 the republican par
ty raised the battle cry, Mckinley
and Prosperity" Now it raises the
battle cry, Roosevelt and Prosperi-
ty!" There are other great issues
associated with Mr.. Roosevelt's poll
cies, but this issue of prosperity
comes home to every mans pocket;
comes home to the farm and the
workshop; to the investor, the manu-
facturer, the wage-earner, as well as
to the millionaire.
This issue has been with us for five
years. It is the issue of all the peo-
pie. It is the child of republican
wisdom and democratic folly. 1t will
not down or off or out, as long as
republican wisdom and democratic
folly exist.

SEA ISLAND COTTON.
Its Cultivation In Cuba to ne Pushed
Energetically BY American
Capitalists.

The syndicate of Anglo-American
capitalists, headed by Mr.. George w.
Ireland, of Philadelphia, and in which
Sir William Van Horne and number
Of prominent Canadians are largely
interested, have just purchased $780,
600 acres of lands near Bayamo, in
eastern Cuba, and formed a company
with a capital Of $5,000,00 tg grow
sea island cotton in Cuba, believing
that this crop Is destined to succeed
sugar as the islands staple export.
Members of the company announce
their purpose, not only to produce
cotton for export to Great Britain
and the continent of Europe, but to
also establish cloth mills here, SO
that Cuba, like Georgia, may manu-
facture it's own cotton goods for homo
wear. They also propose to erect
cotton seed oil mills and fertilizer
factories either Mt Manzanillo or Sam
tiago de Cuba-whicheve of these
two ports may be decided upon az
point of shipment. Improved mod
ern gins will be used, and a great
compress will be put up at Bayamo.
Congress- will admit their machinery
free of duties.
The tract of land purchased by the
Ireland.Van Horne people lies con-
tiguous to the main line and Man
zanillo branch Of the Cuban Central
railway, the grand trunk" road Of
Cuba, upon which Sir William Van
Horne claims trains from Havana
will be running through to Santiago
de Cuba by Christmas. Previous to
the ten years war In Cuba and dur
ing the American war Of secession,
writes George Eugene Bryson, See
Island cotton was extensively grown
in eastern Cuba-the historic city OF
Bayamo being in the center of the
cotton belt.

VIEWED IMPARTIALLY.
Opinions Of an Independent Journal
Of Trade Strengthen the Pros
poets Of Republicans.

The New York Journal of Com
merce does not often dip into poll
tics;" but when it does its judgment
may be considered reasonably impair
tial. It's economic preferences in
cline it more to the tariff views held
by most democrats, but on other
points it may be said to maintain a
noncommittal attitude. There is
some significance in its publication
Of letter by it's able Washington
correspondent giving survey of the
political situation as it appears from
the headquarters of the congression-
al committee Of the two parties.
The correspondent remarks that "in
general it may be stated that the
republican organization is incom-
parably better than that of the dem.
ocrats." Besides, the prevailing
prosperity is favorable to the re-
publicans. Whatever disadvantages
face the republican managers are
negative. The obstacles to demo
cratic success are positive. Says the
correspondent:
mony In the democratic party Is like a
Nightmare to everyone connected with the
organisation. In spite of every effort to
,over up the jealousies between the differ
emit branches Of the party they constantly
crop out at every turn. The presence OF
men on the executive committee who are
strong representatives of the Cleveland
type OF democracy makes the radical men
feel the necessity OF taking each step
slowly and after due deiiberation. On the
other hand. the conservative old democrats
on the committee are hampered In their
movements by an uneasy fear that the rad
lcals will do something wrong. 1t 10 use
less to deny that Mr.. Bryan's visit to the
east has proved great disappointment to
. good many democrats. It has shown that
his personal popularity r. undfminishsd and
that he cannot be unloaded. They feel that
The attention he got from opponents while
n the east was much moro favorable than
could have been expected.
In short, says the correspondent,
the democrats cannot help recogniz-
ing the fact that Mr.. Bryan is still
a power in the party. "The con-
seriousness of this has had bad eff
feet upon democratic organization,
because IL has convinced the con-
servatives that Bryan cannot be dis
posed of SO easily as they thought,
and that any harmony which does
not include Mr.. Bryan win be impos-
sible." That IL no doubt a fairly
accurate statement of the case. 1t
strengthens the. belief In republican
triumph In the coming election, but
IT should mot lead to any relaxation
of effort to make that triumph ~
complete as possible.

THE FIG IN AMERICA.
Vast Areas I'm This Country Said to
he Especially Adapted to
Growing Il.

There is little reason to doubt
that America will become in the no
distant future one of the greatest
reproducing countries in the world.
Previous to about three years age
the growing of figs in this country
was carried on with very indiffer-
ent success, though trees were
planted in California, New Mexico,
Arizona and some other places.
About three years ago the govern
ment took up the matter and intro
duced from abroad the fg-fertiliz-
ing insect, blastophaga grossorum.
The insect was put to work in the
fig orchards about Fresno, Cal. As
result two tons of Smyrna figs
were raised, dried and placed on the
market, tests being made by chem
lists and fruit experts showing these
figs to be superior to the imported
product. The crop last year on
these same trees amounted to over
so tons. The insect has been intro
duced now into other localities and
the department of agriculture holds
itself in readiness to supply these
insects to any grower that has trees
of bearing age. In the light of
these results it seems likely that
we may see In the next 20 years an
enormous development Of the fig
growing industry. There are vast
areas In this country that are adapt
ed to the growing of such trees as
the fig and those localities will with
out doubt be the scenes of extensive
cultural operations with the aid of
science, which the American farmer
has so often and so successfully
called to his aid.-Farmers' Review.

AT GERMAN WEDDINGS.
with Ancient Tradition IL Eat
Ing and Drinking.

The old-time festivals, in which
oxen were roasted whole in the mar
ket place, have their counterparts
In the wedding feasts which are
given at the present day In some
agricultural districts in Prussia, says
a London paper.
A banquet shared by 200 or 500
guests Is an everyday affair, and the
number sometimes rises to 500 or 900
all of whom are not only fed but
lodged, for the festivities continue for
three days. The brides father
erects a large number of tents, and
engages bands of music, and the rus
tic beauties appear in costumes which
only wealthy city women would think
they could afford.
But the main thing, in accordance
with good old German tradition, is
eating-and drinking.
An idea of the liberality and of the
labors of the brides parents may be
gathered from the statement that at
recent wedding two oxen, nine
calves, nine sheep, three or four fat
hogs, $50 chickens and 500 pounds Of
fish were provided. Nine hundred
pounds of -four were used in making
bread and cake. The beverages in
cluded 1900 bottles of wine, 20 casks
Of beer and 20 bottles of brandy.
A feast like this must cost small
fortune, and IL would be a rich man
who could marry of many daughters
in this way.
Despite all this prodigality. there
Is one thing which at first sight ap-
pears parsimonious. Each guest IL
expected to bring his own knife and
fork. -.---7 --------------s' 3

A dignifed representative of the Pres

publicly that he has used Pernna in his
family and found IL cured when other
remedies failed. In this statement the
Rev. Smith is supported by an elder in
his church.
Rev. Il. g. Smith, pastor of the Prcsby-
terian church OF Greensboro, Ga, writes:
Having used Peruna in my family for
some time 1t gives me pleasure to testify
TO its true worth.
"My little boy seven years OF age had
been suffering for some time with ca
tarrh OF the lower bowels. Other rem
edies had failed, but after taking two
bottles of Peruna the trouble almost en-
tircly disappeared. For this special
malady 1 consider 1t well nigh specific.
