Where il is the custom to keep the
horses and cows in the stables at night,
and also for portion OF the day some
provision should be made for shade as
well as for keeping out MES. The plan
shown in the illustration has the merit
OF being simple as well as effectual.
Cover the opening with fine wire net
ting, placing it so that 1t will not inter

window from the inside Then make
frame with light strips of lumber OF

shown. This device is readily made
and will add greatly to the comfort
of the animals in the stable. The

A Handy Fodder stuck.

How best to stack corn fodder to
keep and be handiest in getting at
when feeding Is often a question given
much thought by the farmer This
method possesses many advantages
that viii recommend 1t above others:
Set two posts twelve or sixteen feet
apart where you wish the stack to be.
Across from one to the other, four and
half or five feet from the ground.
spike a 2 by A. Stand the fodder
against this with the butts on the
ground and the smaller ends coming
together at the top. There should be
a space of two or three feet at the bot
tom. This will give the rat, dog and
cat an opportunity to keep the stack
clear of mice. This stack will turn
the rain and snow of winter, win keep
dry and bright and when used will
not be opened to the weather as no
stalks are left exposed by removing
the top.-Farm Journal

Value of Small Frpita.

Not all farmers seem To knox the
value of small fruits to family when
grown In their own gardens. You com
mence with strawberries; they continue
about a month. You pick perhaps from
six to twelve quarts day You have
them on the table. If you please, at
breakfast, dinner and tea, and you
want little else except bread and but
ter. In one way or another the family
consumes about eight qusrta a day,
and while they last no medicines for
bodily ailments are required, as a quart
of Strawberries daily will generally dis
pei all ordinary diseases not perman-
entity in the system. After strawbcr-
ries come raspberries. and they last
about three weeks Then we have
blackberries. the cultivated varieties.
Next currants ripen. and they remain
until early grapes mature. So, taking
the season through eny family with
hall an acre of land in garden can
grow small fruits that make country
life delightful and at the same time
save hundreds Of dollars lr table sup

One of the most thought exciting
speeches of the campaign in Wisconsin
was delivered at Burlington Tuesday
evening by Timothy e. Ryan, national
committeeman from Wisconsin, in sup
port Of the state ticket. 1t was an in
telligent discussion and presented nation
al and state issues squarely, honestly and
forcibly
The following are few of the re-
marks, taken at random from the speech
OF MIR. Ryan, and serve TO indicate its
general character as one of the strongest
vote makers of the campaign:
The cardinal principle of Democracy
Is well understood by every student of
Democratic principles to be equal rights
to all and special privileges to nome
IS
''The history of the Republican party
proves that that party practices equal
rights to some and special privileges to
many"
''The Democrats early in the history of
the tariff question argued that high
protective tariff would result in breeding
and creating trusts and monopolies that
would become SO gigantic as to be men
ace to the country"
''If he Ga Follette) had the ability to
lead men by appealing to their judgment,
instead of trying to drive them to do just
as he wanted them to do, regardless OF
how they themselves felt upon the Ques-
tons, l believe q large portion of the
friction that existed in the last Legisla-
ture could have been avoided"
"The Democratic party takes the posi-
ton that no mercy nor consideration
should be shown to any combination of
capital that takes advantage of the pro-
tective tariff to mulct American consum-
ers."
1--WE have had succession of FIVE or
six good crops in our great grain-growing
sections and like number of crop fail
ures in many foreign countries.
Good crops, or bad crops, are not the re-
suit of high tariff"
The theory of primary election Gov.
La Follette's pet scheme) can be said
with perhaps some propriety to be Dem
ocratic, because it is claimed that it
means the placing of the power OF gov
eminent in the hands of the people"
Il can well conceive how a primary
election experiment might be tried in mu-
nicipal and county affairs; but when you
undertake to extend beyond that"
why should our manufacturers be
aided by our laws to charge our citizens
more for the same goods than they do to
foreigners"
Examination of the expenditures
made by the different departments of the
state it will be found that our expense
account, in almost every direction, is
constantly increasing. Our taxes are
growing greater all the time"
"For the business interests of this
great commonwealth a change In the
management of state affairs should be
made"

steaks in RUBBER Pockets.

Walters at fashionable summer re.
sort hotel were recently found to have
supplied their working jacket with in.
side rubber pockets. Into these they
would slip choice viands from the
kitchen, which they would then serve
to customers and the proceeds went
into their own pockets. Every rubber
pocketed man was of course dis.
charged. and the familiar cry of Rub

Consolidated Eaoa.-


The real value of a farm is its ca
pacity to produce. 1t is really store
house of raw materials which are man.
ufactured into salable products. and
may contain mine of wealth requiring
out the labor to bring it TO the surface.
Every pound OF plant food returned to
the soil Is an investment for the future.
In addition to the gain from the feed
ing stuffs purchased there are crops
rich In nitrogen which draw upon the
atmosphere, through the agency OF
minute organisms, for supplies Of nitro
gen, even the roots, after the crops are
harvested, enriching the soil. The nitro
gen-gathering plants are limited in
number, but oil plants have the power
of deriving carbonic acid from the at
mosphere, and from this comes the fat
and starch. The corn plant contains
large quantities of fat and starch, but
is deficient in mineral matter, while
bran, linseed meal, cottonseea meal and
niddiings abound largely in the min
eral elements. 1t will. therefore, pay
the farmer to feed his corn and fodder
in connection with the concentrated
foods mentioned, as he IS sure to gain
largely in the manure Estimating nitro
gen at 10 cents per pound, and 1870
pounds in ton of 1000 pounds, the
value of the nitrogen is $3.50. and as
the food also contains about $3.50
worth Of potash and phosphoric acid.
its real value as fertilizer is 1928. In
addition, il also contains about 100
pounds of fat and 800 pounds Of starch
per ton. This the farmer saves by using
II as food, although portion of the
nitrogen and mineral matter is appro-
priated by. the animals and sold at a
higher price in the forms of milk and

Citizens Should be First.

Why should our manufacturers be aid
ed by our laws to charge our citizens
more for the same goods than they DO TO
foreigners Upon this question let me
give you some admissions from govern
ment publications in 1900. We find in a
government publication the report OF the
bureau Of statistics. commerce and Il
nance. for 1900. undoubted Republican
auspices. a large number of statements
and confessions. We are informed. for
instance. that the progress of work on
shipbuilding in the United States has
been retarded because makers of steel
materials required a higher price from
the American consumers than from the
foreign consumers for substantially SINH
lar products Also in ADDITION TO this
that American export plate makers are
interested in preventing the Establishing
Of plate manufactures among their Gus
TONER nations abroad and to that end
bid low enough in foreign markets TO
discourage foreign nations from entering
the field for producing their own plate
at home. The same authority contends
that this policy is short sighted and
shows how il has resulted in curtailIng
