Dairy men in this section are
making yearly contracts to sell
their butter at Is cents a pound
at home. This is the best ., ice
that has been obtained in ten
years. Dairying at such prices
holds out much hope of uice
profits. The value of skim milk
for feeding will bring the price
up to near 80 cents a pound for
the butter.

ANY time from now till the
middle of February white clover
seed may be sown to advantage.
1t will do we'll on any bottom land
IN the state, and also on all heavy
clay or prairie land. 1t will not
succeed on sandy or drouthy up
land. White clover sown at the
rate of S lbs per acre on land that
was cultivated last year, without
any further preparation at all,
will succeed nicely. Land that
was not cultivated last year had
best be scarrided with a disc
harrow and be allowed to freeze
a time or two, and then have seed
sown. White clover adds i'm.
mensely to the value of cattle pas
ture, but is not good for horses,
as it causes SOLDERING. Land
too sandy or drouthy for white
clover, will grow burr clover, but
it is now too late to SOW the lat
ter. Next summer is the time
to SOW it.

Editor Southern Farm Gazette:
Dear Sir-Find enclosed Scots
in stamps, which please place to
my credit for your very valuable
paper. l have been promising
myself ever since the receipt of
the first copy to remit for one

kept putting it off; but 1 can't be
a loafer longer for I certainly
do dispise such an animal. Let
me know the date of first copy
sent me so l will not get behind

withou your most excellent paper
and look forward with the great
est of pleasure to the day of its
coming.
l see IN the Gazette where
Rape is very highly spoken of as
a grazing for hogs. Please let
me know if it will grow with us.
How much seed per acre? How
to plant seed and where seed can
be gotten? If Rape can not be
used advise some good plant that
will give grazing next season, say
from May on.
Yours Respectfully

T A M NJ ANY MEET s
OLD SOCIETY CELEBRATES THE
DAY WITH TALKS"
Speeches by Well-Known Men at An
nuaI Meeting of the Braves in
the Big Wigwam.

NEW YORK, July 4-The usual Fourth
of July celebration was held in Tammany
Hall today under the auspices of the Tam
many society.
Grand Sachem James A O'Gorman. JUS
tice of the supreme court, delivered the
address of welcome. After patriotic songs
by the Tammany Glee Club, the Declara-
ton of Independence was read by Col.
Franklin Bartlett.
There were two 'long talks" the first by
former Senator Charles A. Towne of Min
nesota, the other by Senator Joseph w.
for the old Americanis.n" He held that
the government had departed from the high
Ideal of its founders and committed a
crime against the Declaration of Inde-
pendence and the Constitution by it's treat
ment of the Filipinos. The Constitution
he contended, nowhere provided for a CO.
lonlal system. He said:
Senator Towne's Talk.
This new policy of colonization is trying
to masquerade in the borrowed garments
of democracy. 1t has labeled itself .ex-
pansion, but the disguise is transparent
The new policy is not expansion Expan-
sion is the natural and healthful growth
of an organism. The imperiaIistic process
Of enlargement is by the extraneous graft
ing OF alien and unsympathetic tissue be-
tween which and the parent life there can
never be any organic relation.
The tendencies that, under the party in
power, have led to a repudfat ton of the
Declaration of Independence and to a par
ttal imperfalization of the Constitution of
the United States, have naturally produced
corresponding revolution in the tradi l.
tions and maxims of the government The
corruption discovered in our colonial ad-
ministration bad as 1t was, has been COM
pletely overshadowed by the recent revela-
tions of systenatized and confederated
fraud in the Post Office Department, which
has astounded the country and arraigned
the administration at the bar of public
opinion 1t is the natural result of long
continued irresponsible power.
Parting of the Ways.
Eve are at the parting of the ways.
The American people must choose and
choose soon, whether to abandon the ira
ditions of century and quarter to en-
ter the road trOdden to their doom by so
many nations that have gone before US,
or to make a rededication of this govern
ment to the sublime principles of it's foun-
ders."
Replies to the society's invitations were
read from ex-President Grover Cleveland,
Judge Alton B. Parker, former Governor
D. r. Francis. ex-senator David B. Hill,
Senator John w. Daniel, VIM. J. Bryan
and others Ex-senator Hill predicted a
political revolution in the near future. He
said the election of a democratic mayor
in this city next fall would be the OPEN
state and nation In 1904 The program
ended with ''short talks by Champ Clark
of Missouri and Representative Sulzer.

direction of a western man, prObas.y some
one he met on his recent western trip.
The Kansas Judgeship.
The elevation of District Judge Hook of
Kansas to the circuit bench has left a
judgeship appointment in that state, which
the Kansas congressman are getting ready
tie scramble over The factianal feeling in
that state is such that the President is
compelled to go carefully in whatever he
does in the appointment to prevent Ill feel
ing. Senator Long was at Oyster Bay few
days ago talking over the appointment.
Senator Burton, Governor Bailey and
others are getting in readiness, to offer sug-
gestions- and advice. 1t is not to he sup
posed that Senator Long and Senator Bur
ton will be able to agree upon man, and
the prospects are that the President will
have to decide the matter him&elf.
Out in Nebraska somethingfDf the same
kind of struggle has been IN progress for
months. The four-year termSof Williamson
