is that this city is the commercial GEN.
tire of Western Colorado. and it ought
to be the means of interesting the legis-
lature in the behalf of the school.
There is every known advantage in
existence here to induce the creation
by the state of such an educational
institution. There is hardly any use
many are they that they have become
generally recognized by our sister
towns and cities.
1t was through the efforts of a
member of the Legislature from Cape
Girardeau that the splendid appro-
priation was secured for that school

and the senator from this district
would join hands looking to securing
such appropriation. it is beyond a

appropriation would be forthcoming
to begin the work.

for the organization of a diocesan
school, In time the writer anticipates
that such school will be erected on a
large scale and around it will focus
the work of that church organization
in western Colorado.
1t is not too soon to begin work to
attempt to secure the sympathy and
CO. operation of the state. No school
of that character exists on the west
I'm slope. All educational institu-
tions of every character and in fact
all of Colorado's institutions are be-
yon1 the range and it is our due that
some action should be taken in some
manner to recognize the Importance
of this great territory and its wonder
ful increasing population in an edu-
caticnal way.

If the contention of City Attorney
Canadian is correct that it is neces-
sary to submit to the people. the
granting of franchise, his predeces-
sors in office have had little knowledge
in that regard. Every franchise that
has been heretofore granted. has been
by the city council. If the people
are the sole arbiters, some pretty
bad law has been given in advice to
the governing body of this city.

The city of Cape Girardeau. Mo.
on the Mississippi river south of st.
Louis about 15U miles received an APP
preparation from the legislature about
one year ago of s240, 900 to rebuild
its normal school, which had been
destroyed by fire. This is the second
appropriation it has received in the
last few years.
The fact that a normal school is
located in Cape Girardeau makes that
city the intellectual center of all of
southeast Missouri. a section of coun-
try which was almost virgin twenty
years ago, but which has had built
through it network of railroads
running in all directions, making it
also its commercial centre.
The city of Cape Girardeau is re-
ferred to because of the fact that the
writer recently visited the city and
was conducted through thu handsome
main building of the school, now in
the course of erection. The magnifi-
cient building and the fact that the
legislature of the state has been so
munficent with the school, was mat
ter of surprise.
Some years ago bill passed the
legislature appropriating a certain
sum of money for the creation of a
normal school at Gunnison. Nothing
has been done, to our knowledge, in
forwarding the movement to erect the
necessary buildings and begin the
work of education.
1t is not the purpose of The Sen
tinel to attempt to discredit any
movement for normal school at Gun
nison, Notwithstanding in our iudg-
ment 1T is not the best location for
such an institution, but to arouse
public sentiment looking toward Sc =
curing an appropriation for the or
ganization of normal school at
Grand junction.

ALWAYS wolves in sleeps clothing at
the conventions of every political
party, the same as wolves, figura-
lively, occupy seats in the Amen cor
ner in churches.
The militant young Democracy do
not propose that any such features as
would be introduced if the old SCARED
war horses dominate the St. Louis
convention, shall be part of, either
the platform or the spirit of that con-
vention.
There is not such hopeful, ever
lasting confidence in the final result
to the Republican party at this COM
ing election, as there was four years
ago. Democracy knows what to ex-
pect with Theodore Roosevelt as The
candidate. Republicans cannot form
their ranks in opposition to Democracy
because of the uncertainty. There
will be greater interest by far in the
st. Lonis convention. because of the
uncertainty of the action of Demo
cracye than in the col vention at
Chicago. A canker worm, the result
of whose depredations would be far
greater than from any of the Repub-
licans may pit against us, 1t is that of
Socialism and this the party wants to

The Democratic party will not be
divided into two great waring fac
tions. as the Republican party hopes
it will be, whoever may be nominated
at the st. Louis convention. And
this leads us to say that we will sup

ever he may be, at least we think we

feeling among all Democrats that
they want to get together. There is
little or no reason why they should
remain apart at the present time.
Republicans heal their differences vast
" quicker than Democrats. therefore
there is no reason Why there should
be division of the party to permit
another reign of Rapublicanism in
the nation. OF course the Republi-
can party will do it's utmost to create
a schlsm in the Democratic ranks.
A large and dominating campaign
roll will be in evidence at the st.
Louis convention to effect some
scheme of this sort. Money could not
be spent bv Republican leaders to bet
ter advantage than in an attempt to
disrupt the desire for amity which
pervades the Democratic party now.
And in saying this it does not reflect
upon the delegates to the convention.

When a sample copy of any publication comes
to my farm home, and is a possible candidate for
my hard-earned dollars, I can size it up more
quickly by scanning the advertising pages than
by looking over the reading matter. The editor
may pose as an apostle of the true faith-eco-
nomic, agricultural, religious or Rooseveltian-
but the advertising manager is the man who gives
character to the publication. He stamps it with
an index finger that shows to just what power it
has been raised. If the advertisements are straight,
then the subscription list has been made up
from sensible folks and an honest class of mer-
chants are asking for their patronage. If, on the
other hand, there is much advertising by knaves,
frauds and indecent folk, I know that a lot of
fools are reading the paper, and that, on the av-
wanting to make any admissions, I do not sub
scribe.-Alva Agee.

STAR ROUTE CARRIERS MUS DELIVER A
TO PATRONS WHO PUT UP BOXES.

A Western North Carolina reader of The Pro
gressive Farmer writes as follows:
"I should like for you to inform me if mail
carriers not on r. F. D. lines are required by law
to deposit the mail in letter boxes placed con-
veniently so the mail boy will not have trouble
in depositing the mail, etc. [ have a homemade
wooden box for my mail, but l pay the mail de-
hverer SO much per month"
Under the old law, star route carriers were not
required to serve patrons in the manner indicated
by our correspondent, but Postmaster Bailey at
Raleigh informs us that any person living along
a star route may now have his mail delivered to
him daily and without charge, just as if he were
on a rural mail delivery route. The following is
the law on the subject as embodied in each con-
tract made with a star route carrier:
"Any person living on or near the star route
herein described, and not within the corporate
limits of any town or within eighty rods of any
nostoffce. who desires his mail deposited at a
given point on the line of the route by the carrier
on said route, may provide and erect a suitable
box or c1ane on the roadside, located in such man
o az to be reached as conveniently as practicable
bv the carrier without dismounting from the We
bic1e or horse. and such person shall file with the
postmaster at the ~postofice to which his mail Is
addressed (Which shall be one of the two post
Offices on the route on either side of and next to
the box or crane) a request in writing for the

It has required a good deal of labor to get to-
gether the figures embodied in our editorial, "The
Prosperity of Southern Agriculture" on page 1.
It will doubtless surprise most people to know
that while for the United States as a whole, agri-
culture in 1899 paid a net dividend of only 1872
per cent, North Carolina farming paid 1915 per
cent on the investment.

We trust that our readers who have sent us
inquiries to be answered will bear with us patient
ly for awhile. DR.. Burkett is overwhelmed with
work at the A. & M. College Summer School for
Teachers, and Prof. Kilgore, on account of his
recent illness, has found it necessary to go to
Virginia Beach to rest and recuperate. The
Editor-in-chief has done practically every kind
of farm work, but he is not an agricultural sciep-
fist, and prefers to have the agricultural editors
attend TO the farming problems presented. We
especially regret that Prof. Kilgore cannot at
tend the summer farmers Institutes as he had
expected to do.

July.

Beneath the full midsummer heat
Are stores of golden, garnered wheat;
Are pillows of unripe oats, gray-green;
Are armies of corn-blades, trenchant, keen.
The killdee flutes his mournful cries;
The hawk in charmed circle flies.
Berries ripen beneath the leaves,
The moon shines bright in the cloudless sky,
The crickets sing and the soft winds sigh.

the delivery of his mail to the carrier on the
route for deposit at the designated point, at the
risk of the addressee. When a mail bag or satchel
is used it, as well as the box or crane, must be
provided by the person for whose use it is intend
ed, without expense to the Department.
"It shall be the duty of the postmaster at every
such postof6ce, upon a written order from any
person living on or near the star route to deliver
to the mail carrier any mail matter-placing in
the respective satchels, where such are used, the
mail for the persons to whom such satchels be-
long-with instructions as to the proper mail
box or crane at which said mail matter shall be
deposited; but registered mail shall not be so de-
hvered unless expressly requested by the addressee
In his written order. No mail matter so delivered
to a carrier shall be carried past another post
office on the route before being deposited into
a mail box or hung on a crane or post.
1.-The carrier on the star route will be required
to receive from any postmaster on the route any
mail matter or private mail satchel that may be
intrusted to him outside of the usual mail bag,a and
shall carry mail matter or private mail satchel to
and deposit it into the proper mail box or hang
it on the proper mail crane placed on the line of
the route for this purpose; also to collect the mail
from the boxes (when a signal is displayed to in
dictate that a bax contains mail to be taken) and to
deposit the same in the next ~postofice at which he
arrives; and to take the mail satched, where one
is used, either with or without mail from the mail
crane or post and carry it to the postofice; such
service by the carrier to be without charge to the
persons sending Or receiving the mail.
"The Department does not prescribe any par
ticular design of box or satchel' to be used for
this service, but the person providing either
should see that it is of such character as to afford
ample protection to his mail. The box or crane
should be so located on the roadside that the
carrier can deposit the mail without leaving his
vehicle or horse, and yet not where it will obstruct
public travel.
GA patron desiring the collection of mail from
his box should inform the carrier of the signal
adopted by which the presence of mail in the box
for collection will be indicated. The law provides
that every carrier of the mail shall receive mail
matter presented to him if properly prepaid by
stamps, and deliver the same for mailing at the
next postofice at which he arrives, but that no
fees shall be allowed him therefor.
Delivery and collection of mail by star-route
carriers will not be permitted over such ~portions
of the star routes as may have in operation the
rural free delivery service, except as an addition
al or supplemental service when shown to be nee
essary and practicable"

The article by John Charles Mcneil in last

hit of the season. John Charles owed that letter
to Charity and Children but Poe took the advan-

that it is a Lumber River scene depicted. Charles

Hardly anything else makes us so tired as to
pick up an alleged "Southern Edition" of a farm
paper when the postofice entry-printed in an
inconspicuous place and in the smallest type OBJ
tainable-proves it a Massachusetts, Or New York
product. These papers usually print a little
Southern matter on the first page to catch suck
ers, while the bulk of the matter comes from the
latitude of Canada and Maine-from men who
probably never saw a stalk of cotton Or entered a
Southern State. These trashy farm papers unfor-
tunately do a great deal toward bringing all kinds
of agricultural literature into contempt.

Claims of the Democratic Managers.

This concluding paragraph from our Washing
ton dispatch sums up the situation at this time
pretty accurately: "Of the doubtful States, the
Democrats are boldly claiming New York. They
go further and say that, taking the Cleveland
campaigns as bases, New Jersey, Connecticut,
Rhode Island, Delaware, Maryland and West Vir-
ginia have an unalterable habit of voting with
New York. The States thus claimed carry with
them so electoral votes. These added to the Isl
votes from the solid South, would give the Demo
cratic nominee 231 of the 239 votes necessary to
a choice. The silver States of Colorado, Mon
tana, Idaho and Nevada, with their aggregate of
IA electoral votes, are claimed by the Republi-
cans, although they have been in the Democratic
column for the past two Presidential elections.
Judge Parker would have to carry three of these,
in addition to all claimed for him in the East, in
order to be elected. The Democratic managers,
however, are looking to either Indiana or Wis
consin, am not to the silver States, to furnish the
necessary votes"
At this time it must be admitted by all unpreiu-
diced men that Mr.. Roosevelt has the better
chance of winning. There are indications, how
ever, of impending labor and financial troubles,
and these would weaken his forces. Much, too.
depends upon the tone of Judge Parker's letter
of acceptance, and no less upon the selection of
a Democratic chairman. This craftsmanship mat
ter is now in a wretched muddle. It is customary
for the Presidential candidate to select his own
chairman. whereas the committee has embarrassed
Judge Parker by recommending Thomas Tag
of Indiana, for the position. 1t is intimat-
ed that the Sage of Esopus prefers Senator Cor
man, who is one of the shrewdest politicians in
the country, or August Belmont, whose high posi-
ton in the world of finance would mean much in
accmnulating a great campaign fund.

land, Delaware, Maryland, Idaho, Montana and
Nevada.
This shows that the States certain to go Demo
cratic have 151 votes, certain to go Republican
203 votes, while the doubtful States have a voting
strength of 122.

SOUNDS LIKE GOOD SENSE
Canadian Expert Says That Dairy
Cows Need But Very Little Elk
ercise in Winter.

Regarding he exercise of dairy cows
IN winter, Mr.. Glendinning, speaking
before the Western Ontario Dairymen's
association, said:
My experience is that a cow does
not require much exercise when she is
giving lot Of milk, and we do not
make practice of letting our cows
out l will give you an experience l
mad two years ago. l hired a man to
take care OF the stock, and l put him
In charge while l was out on institute
work He had been there a couple of
weeks, and 1 went to the stable Sunday
morning, and he said: Say. boss.
don't you think it would be a good
tning to let these cows out and give
them little exercise?' He had always
worked for men who gave their cows
good deal of exercise; they gener-
ally had straw stack. 1 said I old
not think they needed it. Well. he
thought they would be better. and I
thought 1t was an opportunity to teach
MIN lesson. There were two rows
on cows, eight in each row, 15 giving
milk and one dry, and l said: You
can let the cows out if you have a mind
TO-. 1t was nice, warm morning, and
the snow was melting a little outside.
he said: L will let this stable out
nrst NO. l said, turn out both these
rows He said: There will be an aw-
ful run; We will never get them In .
He turned them out, and the cows
packed out, and went out just the same
as they would if they had been turned
out every day, and every one of them
went out in that way till we came to
the dry one, and she went out with a
jump; and when the others saw her
running, they thought they would take
run, and they ran across the barn
YARD four rods, and then they began

say; Well, this is not very ladylike
and every one of these cows went into
the stable inside of ten minutes.

and not drive any of them in. and thew
all went in except the one that was
dry. That was about the first of Feb
ruary, and these COWS had not been
out OF the stalls from the 5th day OF
december. l think if the dairy cow
required good deal of exercise these
cows would have required It. Thew
were giving good lot Of milk and
were well fed. 1 have not very much
hesitation in saying the dairy cow does
not require very much exercise. She

Opportunities for Dairymen.

Last year England imported $4,000
tons of butter. The United States ex-
ported about 1000 tons. These facts
leave fair inference that England
offers an open market for more than
80 times as much butter as we are in
the habit Of exporting. England's pur-
chases Of this article from foreign
countries and from her colonies
amount to about 100000 900 a year.
Our export sales of 1t approximate
$1,5OO,OO0 England purchased last
year about 10000 tons of cheese. Our
total exports we're in the vicinity of
5000 tons, worth about S2,25O. 900.
Canada, whom we are prone to regard
as an economic inferior, exported ten
times as much as we did. This leaves
fair inference that there is In Eng
land alone possible market for some
$4o.O00.000 worth Of cheese every year.
