Exhibit of Swine at Austin.

Austin had model exhibit of live
stock at the fair held at that place
Sept. G-8. We think we are safe in
saying that we never saw larger and
better exhibit of live stock at any
county or local fair held in the state.
This applies to all the different classes
of live stock. At number of local
fairs that we have attended, the ex-
hibits of cattle have been fairly good
while the exhibits of sheep and swine
would be of very little account. It
was not so at Austin. The sheep ex-
hibit was splendid and the swine ex-
hibit wps simply irst-class. Poland
China swine were more in number than
any others, but there was a prime ex-
hibit of Chester Whites; there were
also Duroc-J Jerseys, Berkshires and I'm
proved Yorkshires. j. J. Furlong
showed a Poland China barrow in COM
petition for the prize offered by the
meat packing company Of the town.
1t was one of the most perfect speci-
mems that we have seen of any breed
and it of course won first prize, the
second prize going to beautiful Ches-
ter White.
The managers of the fair have Ia
bored assiduously to increase the live
stock interests during recent years and
with the result mentioned. The pack
ing company of the town offered $500
to be divided in four prizes for steers
fed for the market. The result was
that a fine exhibit was brought out.
1t was judged before the grand stand
and explanations were given by
the judge as to why the awards had
been made. st. Paul Farmer.

ILLINOIS farmer boys find them
selves exposed to new danger in the
general use of the rural telephone.
Hundreds of them are falling in love
with the sweet-voiced creatures at the
central offices who answer their calls.
There is something about the sound of
a girls voice on the wire that sets the
young man into wooing mood and the
web of telephone wires seems to have
been spun by Cupid himself. There is
something here worth investigating.

..s Albert Lea Times: There is one
notable difference between the herd Of
twenty or more Jersey cows that are
making the best record in the dairy
contest at the st. Louis fair and the
ordinary herd of Jerseys. They are
much larger and apparently 4 much
stronger and more vigorous. Their
average weight is close around 800
pounds. The herd was gathered to-
gether under the direction and at the
expense of the Jersey Cattle Club, and
this increase in weight and size Of the
cows selected indicates that the best
Jersey breeders are now successfully
endeavoring to put more size and con-
stitution into their herds. e
Mankato Free Press: Now that the
republican state central committee has
been reorganized, and has rid itself of
member whose jaws worked overtime
much to the tetriment Of the state
ticket, it is hoped that harmony will
prevail in the ranks, and that every
loyal party man will put forward earn
est efforts toithe end that success will
be the result at the polls in November.
With the addition of James Martin,
the executive committee will become
a stronger working force, and his
friends will take pleasure in actively
aiding the ticket to a magnificent
victory. Mr.. Martin is an excellent
organizer, and withal is a most popular
gentleman, in whom thousands of re-
publicans in Minnesota have con-
fdence.

AZ Farmers Idea OF Roosevelt.

#.# Mr.. David Rankin has the credit Of
being the most extensive individual
farmer in the United States. He owns
fourteen farms in Missouri which, con.
tain about 1000 acres Of land III all.
He personally supervises the operations
on all, aided by a resident foreman.
In summer he employs as many as 100
hands,in the field, and uses from 200 to-
250 horses for the various divisions of
farm work. He raises corn by thous-
and-acre patches, and in single year
has sold 5000 hogs ana $500 cattle Of.
his own raising. Mr.. Rankin stands
six feet two inches without his boots
on, weighs 180 pounds, and began life
as poor boy. He resides at Tarkio,
Mo-, in the vicinity of his farm pro
perty. He writes to Leslie's Weekly
II like Roosevelt because he is Re-
publican. I'm a Republican farmer.
We farmers are more interested in the
tariff than anybody else. The manu-
facturers make our markets. Our only
trouble under Republican admins
tration is to get Emen enough to do
our work.
II like Roosevelt's expansion ideas.
The Panama Canal business is one of
the biggest things this country ever
undertook. 1t means larger opportuu-
tiles for our young men. It will take
some such man as Roosevelt to put it
through. He has the scat to make it

! "l like Roosevelt because he isn't
afraid. Most men go wrong in politics
because somebody has scared them.
Wall street doesn't like Roosevelt be-
cause he doesn't scare. The labor unions,
some OF them, try to run things by
soaring the men who ought to run
them. They haven't scared Roosevelt
and they won't. like men who don't

II like Roosevelt because he aims
to do what's right. He's fair. He isn't

Just What is "O Order No.
81. 81. 49,? ...

Some of those who have attacked
Mr.. Roosevelt on account of his PEN
sion order have managed to spread the
impression that it is an order which
places all veterans of sixty-two years
Of age on the pension roll. This is not
the case. The pension order does not
put all veterans of sixty-two on the
government pay, list. It does not, in.
deed, put anybody on the list. It has
no bearing upon any cases excepting
those of manual workers dependent
upon their own efforts who come for
ward with aftidavits and positive evi-
dence to the effect that they are par
italy disabled: In those cases, the pen
sion Office, under Order No 79, will
recognize the fact of advancing years
as in itself general, evidence of de.
clining physical ability and declining
opportunity; and the experience of the
Office in dealing with this law for, now,
a long period of years has simply shown
that it is fitting and appropriate to es-
tablish the presumption that one-half
disability begins at the age of sixty-two
rather than at the age of sixty five.
The issuance of executive orders can
not change the law of Congress; and
Order No. 78 does not, in fact, entitle
any man to pension since the issu.
ance of the order who was not equally
entitled to it before. In other words,
If the semi.disability for which Con-
gress undertook to provide does not
actually exist, the, applicant cannot
properly be put on the pension rolls
even though he be hundred years old.
If there is any real question to be rails
ed at all, it should be one that does
not touch the executive order, but
rather the practical way in which, un-
der Commissioner Ware and the work
ing force of the Pension Bureau, such
an order is executed in detail. If the
opponents of President Roosevlt's ad-
ministration are prepared to say that
Commissioner Ware and the officials of
the Pension Office are crowding the
lists with new pensioners who have no
right under the law to receive public
public money, let them say so. Mr..
Roosevelt remarks, in his letter of
acceptance, that "the order in question
is revocable at the pleasure of Execu
tive," and he proceeds, eff our oppon-
ents come into power, they can revoke
this order and announce that they will
treat the veterans of sixty-two and
seventy as in full bodily vigor and not
entitled to pensions" The President
holds that in order to meet sqcarely an
issue that they have raised the Demo
Gratis must state concretely what they
themselves intend to do if they get the
opportunity.-From "The Progress of
the World" in the American Monthly
Review of Reviews for October.

Martin Gives Reasons,

James A. Martin, in a letter accept
ing a place Of the Republican state
central committee, which also includes
his taking charge of the campaign for
Dunn, explains his reasons for so doing.
1t is safe to assume that Mr.. Martin
was Influenced almost wholly by his
friendship for Senator Nelson, and
that the demand was made on him by
the senior senator as matter Of per-
sonal friendship. Mr.. Martin is a man
who is loyal to his friends, and it will
be noticed from his letter that he puts
the consideration of Senators Nelson
and Clapp as the first consideration,
and in fact the only one. Mr.. Martin,
in his letter of acceptance, says:
"Replying to your esteemed favor.
1t is hardly necessary for me to say
that believe:
"First-That the interests of our
United States senators are involved in
the present gubernatorial contest.
Second-That our presnt state ticket
is irrevocably committed to those party
policies which my friends have at all
times strenuously and vigorously sup
ported.
"Third-That am satisfied that the
head of our state ticket will wher
elected, deal fairly with every good
Republican in this state.
"When I can be made to believe that
the Democratic party of this state Will
endorse our United States senators in
stead of lying in the background to
take advantage of party differences on
our side; when am satisfied that the
head of our ticket is disposed to do else
than redeem any pledge which he has
given to the Republican party; when
it shall be made to appear that those
who have so generously and persistently
assisted in bringing our party to it's
present high standing in this state, are
to be ignored; when all.of these things
shall have happened, you may look for
me to dissent. @ " t%sE.a..5 >s
"Until then 7 pledge to the party my
unqualified support. l owe the party
much, and for the reasons stated, I
accept the appointment rendered, and

Whit n Lie Did.

The madness Of suicide as Il relief
from mental anguish was vividly illus
trated years ago by an incident which
occurred in an italian town. Moretti.
a tailor, was sent to prison on charge
of fraud. His sweetheart called upon
the police officer to usk how long Mo-
retti was likely to he confined and was
told that 1t would be probably for
many years. The policeman had been
instigated to say this by the girls
mother, who disliked the match. Over
whelmed with grief and thereby driven
to despair. the poor girl put an end to
her life by poison. A few days later
Moretti was released from custody,
the accusation against him having
been proved false. He returned home
to find his affianced bride II corpse.
Frenzied at the sight, he. too, destroy
ed himself. The lie wrought double
tragedy.

Growing Alfalfa--Handling the Hay
after First Season.

The first crop is usually ready to
cut about the last week in May, this
being the heaviest and coarsest it is
the poorest in quality Of the several
crops. Cut when the first blooms
appear. Get this crop cut early
and off the. e.ground, as it will help
the second growth to earlier maturity
Start the mower soon after the dew
is off in the morning: rake up in
small winrows in the afternoon, and
pile these up in tall, neatly made
cocks that will shed the rain well.
If the weather holds good draw the
hay to the barn the next day.
The principal factor to observe in
handling alfalfa hay is saving the
leaves, as they are about four times
as rich in protein as the stems, and
shatter off very easily if not properly
handled. The leafless hay is of very
little value.
If you have a !side delivery rake
and hay loader they are preferred to
the common methods of handling
the hay spoken of above.
After the first crop, calculate tc
cut the hay when one-tenth of the
blossoms are in bloom. The Kansas
experiment station indicates the i'm.
portance of this practice by the fol
lowing figures:
- Protein.
Alfalfa cut lilo In bloom . . :. ....m - 1855 percent
Aifa,fa cut In n6loom.................l7.2 percent
1t is good practice to disc the
field lightly, early in the. spring
and directly after each cutting. This
smooths the ground, stimulates new
growth and kills noxious Weeds

After the battle of the Yalu, dur
ing the war between China and
Japan, Admiral Ito, who, as will be
remembered, covered himself with
glory on that occasion, had granted
young officer few days leave of
absence. When the time came fer
the absentee to rejoin his ship the
ADMIRAL received the following lacon-
ic telegram; "Owing to unforeseen
circumstance | cannot, as expected,
return to duty" The admiral
replied; Either give reason or re-
turn" Shortly after a message
reached him from a hospital al
Iokosuta: "Train lost-cannot travel;
leg lost-cannot run. Will return if
you insist" Admiral Ito did not
insist
