Recent events have smashed q SEN
atorial tradition. For years the new
senator who did more than presenf
petitions, introduce bills. answer 70

during his FIRST session Was too for
ward and pointed out as the man who
did not conform 70 the state regula-
tons. But that tradition Is a thing

revived and new senators made aware
that, like little children, they should
be seen and not heard. but for the
present the unWritten law Of q century
has been put far back on the shelf
The tradition was really fractured
in the last congress. This year the
tradition has been broken into fra8-
ments. Senators Newlands. Fulton.
Clarke Of Arkansas. Stone. Hopkins.
Latimer. Mccreafy, and Overman have
all made speeches and some Of them
have engaged in debate With older
senators. These men. having opinions,
have expressed them; having argS-

them 20 the senate. And not one
seems the worse for Il. business in
the senate proceeds as usual. and the
new men get as respectful q hearing
and as close attention as some of the

A HAPPY NEW YEAR.

1t Is with cheerful optimism tina;
the Times Republican wishes all its
readers happy new year today. The
past year has been prosperous one
for both and the new year promises
to continue the prosperity of 1903.
There will be employment for the
workers. crops for the farmers and
business for the tradesmen: and the
opportunity for successful endeavor
Is the secret of happiness. There are
twelve months of opportunity before
US: If they are to be happy and pros
porous ones depends mostly upon our
own efforts. Conditions are favorable.
1t is up to the people to make 1901
happy year.
This is good day to swear
off, and a better day to swear
on" Swearing off, is negative. To
swear on" is affirmative. and calls for
action. 1t is not enough to swear off
bad habit. We should swear on a
good one to take its place. If we haze
been unkind we should cultivate kind
ness. If selfish We should learn liber-
atty. The rext year should find us
not only Invested of our vices of the
past year, but strong in the added vir-
tue of the present. New year resolu-
Tons are the sport of the paragrapher
and the people, but resolve to do
well is a step toward better things
whether made on January or the
fourth OF July. If. as has been assert
ed, hell is paved with good. inten-
tons" there are long stretches of the
highway to heaven made of the same
material. Swear off. 1t is good thing
to do, but swear on at the same time.
Swear off from envy and greed and
hypocrisy. Swear on to truth. charity,
and fisthfuiness. Swear off from idle
hess and dissipation. Swear On to
hard work and economy. Swear off
upon others and take up
your own burden cheerfully, with hope
and determination. keep your resolu-
ton bravely and the hope of happy
new year will blossom into certainty.

ing. There are no wings sprouting, for
this writer has been a boy and not 81,
very long ago, and therefore ought 10
know what he is talking about. The
average boy, the boy who has the stuff
in him sufficient to amount to some
thing, has the old Nick in his ribs
and is full to the very brim. He needs
calling down and combing on every
opportunity. SO the lecturers need NOT
worry, that he will become discouraged
Not many boys are being overworked
nowadays. This talk agout looking
out for the boys is getting to be ar
awful bore. and they are not asking

al all events they are not asking cheap

as much about boy life as a hog does
about Lain. Give us rest.

FEEDING Shock Corn.

than il the expense of shredding ~

would be interesting to know b.
many more pounds of meat could be
made from fifty acres of corn properly
prepared and fed than from fifty acres
of the same fed from the shock, pigs
following the steers. This question is
coming to the front ere long and it
will have to be answered. The time
is coming in the west when economical
Methods of feeding will have to be
practiced as they are in the east.
No food can be grown more cheaply
than corn for the production of meaT1
but il a larger proportion of corn is
wasted in feeding than other products,
the advantage thus gained is so far
neutralized. The time is coming when
no food will be wasted. 1t cannot come
too soon. The bounties of nature were
The waste from feeding thus in q
country with a steady and cool winter
climate is much less than in one where
the climate is variable. This means
that much less corn is wasted in winter
feeding in Minnesota and Wisconsin
than in states further south.

Money in Sheep.

Sheep, contrary to the ideas advanced
by many people can be fed and will
do we'll on great variety Of feed,
says the Mail and Empire. They can
also withstand a great deal OF COLI
on account of their heavy feeces OF
wool. In this connection 1t will be
we'll to remember that damp quarters
and drafts caused by open doors Dr.
windows are very bad for the health
of the sheep. Very warm quarters are
also undesirable. Give the sheep a dry
bed and a moderate amount of feed and
they can Withstand a great deal IT
steady cold weather.
Sheep differ from any other class Of
livestock in that they return two ms
comes each year. In the spring OF the
year their fleece will usually pay their
keep. while in the fall OF the year you
will have the fambs. which in most In
stances are net profit. Some breeds OF
sheep even do better than this by
returning three incomes each year, two
crops of lambs and the fleece.
Each and every farmer who has not 9
flock OF sheep should get one. COM
mence In a small way, and increase
as experience will warrant you. Gen.
orally speaking, 1t is better for the av-
erage farmer to keep small or me-,
dunn sized flock of sheep in connections
with other stock than to embark into
the strengthening business

The Potato Crop.

The department of agriculture re-
ports the average per acre of potatoes
in the United States as s4.7 bushels
against an average yield of $50 bush
els in 1902. Cos bushels in 1901 and a
ten year average of 1915 bushels.
Since the yield of potatoes in the whole
country is higher than the general
average for two years. the crop will
not bring famine prices next season.
notwithstanding that considerable
proportion OF it in some localities was
much injured by wet However. as the
crop Is not so easily moved as some
other crops, because of its bulky char
acter the losses referred to Will un-
doubtedly affect the price of potatoes
in the localities in which they occur.

the NORTHWEST IS GOOD ENOUGH.

1t seems somewhat anomalous for
the legislature of an old state like
z Maryland to appropriate money to
maintain commission of immigration.
However. that is what Maryland has
been and is doing. The agents OF the
commission have been working IN
northern Europe among the Scandi-
navians, tina Germans, the Dutch ana
the Danes with good results. The
bulk of the work and money OF the
commission has this year been expend-
ed In the northwestern United States
