Growing Special Crops.

Each year there are numbers Of
GROWERS among farmers who wish
they could find some branch of agrl-
cultural work less arduous than mixed
farming. 1t Is admitted that on some
farms hard work is about all there is.
to be found, and yet the conditions
surrounding many such farms are
such that only mixed farming can be
carried on with any degree of success.
On the other hand, there are farms de-
voted to general farming which should
be turned into speciality farms. Then,
too, we find farmers who are peculiar
" successful in growing some one Or
two crops.
In such cases the way is plain. II
the soil and conditions seem suited to
these one or two crops one can grow
better than his neigbbors, such crops
should be- made specialties-not the
entire farm devoted to them, but suf-
ficient of itsto bring proper returns.
We believe the ideal farm to be the
one which is made to produce the liv-
ing-that is, the food-for the people
and the stock on it, and the remaining
acres devoted wholly to specialties
which experience has proved of value
In this way one is sure of a living and
of money crop varying according to
climatic and market conditions; but
generally, at its worst, sufficient to
bring in what cash is needed for the
year,

Fatten,ue Reef Cattle.


Prof. w. A. Henry. whose reputa-
ton as an authority on cattle feeding
cannot be doubted, suggests that
American cattle can be fattened upon
must less grain than our feeders gem
orally give them. He says that many
feeders in the Western and Middle
States give to their fattening stock
from twenty to thirty pounds, and
sometimes thirty-fiye pounds day of
corn meal, willie in England and Scot
land they seldom use more than six
or eight pounds day. They give with
this from fifty to one hundred pounds
Of sliced roots, usually rutnbagas, four
to Ave pounds Of straw and from five
to ten pounds of hay. They. claim to
send as good meat to market as we
can furnish them, which we may not
doubt, but we are not sure that we
can grow the turnips as the corn
which we feed here, and whether beef
animals fed upon turnips would stand
transportation as well, either alive or
as dressed meat, as those fattened on
corn. Professor Henry thinks ensilage
should tnke the place in our stock
feeding that roots do in England, and
we do not doubt that a judicious use
of ensilage or some other succulent
food with the corn meal might induce
better digestion SO That animals might
be as well fattened with a less
amount of grain.

Parker or RoosexeIt2


Upon sober reflection the people OF
the United States must prefer the
sound Judgment, safe reasoning, bal
anced temperament and unassuming
ways of Judge Parker to the ostenta-
ton and spectacularism, coupled with
the dangerous proclivities, of his op-
ponent. Judge Parker's position upon
public questions is thoroughly known,
not only by the recent utterances
which have SO impressed the country,
but through judicial opinions which
rank high in the legal literature of the
times and show profound regard for
the spirit Of our institutions, for pre-
cedent for accepted principles, for ira
dition, and for the Constitution as IL
beacon light.
Z The choice between Mr.. Roosevelt
and Judge Parker demands the par
ticularly earnest and thoughtful CON
sideration of this country, because it
Is a choice between what may be
termed two different interpretations
of the Constitution. Mr. Roosevelt by
his acts and utterances has put upon
that document an individual construc-

To SION Rattle of Smokes.

A good way to overcome the rattle
of spokcs is to go over the wheel and
tighten all bolts, then make water
tight trough large enough SO that the
wheel may be set upright in it; this
trough should be about six inches
deep, Then buy a gallon of linseed
oil and while boiling hot pour it in the
trough, set the wheel In it, rolling it
around slowly SO that the crevices will
take in the oil and then, with a brush,
go over, with the oil, all portions
which are not covered while the wheel
is standing in the tub. Not only will
the rattle be stopped, but the wheel
will last great deal longer under.

JONAH ANp THE WItALE.
etails OF His- Experience from Rab
binical Lcgends. ~

i
binical Lcgends.
When Jonah went to Joppa he found
no ship, for the vessel on which he in
tended taking passage had sailed two
days before his arrival; but God
caused a contrary wind to arise and
tho ship was driven back to port. In
his joy Jonah paid his passage money
In advance. contrary to the usual Gus
tom. which did not require payment
until the conclusion of the voyage. Ac-
cording to some. he paid even the full
value OF the ship, amounting to 1900
gold denarii. When the storm arose
the kind-hearted sailors. evidently re
specting the rich passenger, first low
cred Jonah only far enough for the
water to reach his knees. Seeing that
the storm subsidized, they drew him
back into the ship. whereupon the sea
at once arose again. The sailors re-
peated the operation several times with
the same result, each time lowering
him deeper and deeper, until finally
they threw him Into the sea.
The flsh which swallowed Jonah was
created in the very beginning Of the
world for that special purpose. There
fore this fish had SO large mouth and
throat that Jonah found 1t as easy to
pass into Its belly as he would have
found 1t to enter the portals of a very
large synagogue. 1t had eyes which
Were as large as windows and lamps
lit up Its interior. According to anoth-
er opinion. q great pearl suspended in
the entrails Of the fish enabled Jonah
to see all that was In the sea and In the
abyss. The fish Informed Jonah that
he was to be devoured by Leviathan.
Jonah asked to be taken to the mon.
ster. when he would save both his own
life and that of the fish. Meeting Lee
vtathan, he exhibited the "seal Of Abra-
ham, whereupon the monster shot
away distance Of two days. To re-
ward him for this service the fish
showed Jonah oil the wondrous things
In the ocean (e. g., the path Of the Is
raelltes across the Red Sea; the pillars
upon which the earth rests. Thus he
spent three days and three nights In
the belly Of the fsh. but would not
pray. God then resolved TO put him
into another fish where he would be
less comfortable. Cramped for room.
and otherwise made miserable. Jonah
finally prayed, acknowledging the fu-
tillty Of his efforts to escape from God

Late Matched Chickens.

It is not usually profitable to carry
the late-hatched chicks into winter
quarters, for they will not lay until
midwinter or early spring, hence will
consume more food than their eggs
will pay for. We have found it an ex-
'cellent plan to keep the late-hatched
chicks on the range as long us possible,
and when they must be brought in and
fed place them In quarters by them
selves. Then they are given just
enough room to take moderate exer.
else, some green food and for grain
mainly corn, only enough other grain
being given them to keep them from
being corn sick. The idea is to fatten
them as quickly and inexpensively as
possible after they are brought In
doors. They are then marketed and
bring a price which makes 1t profitable
to raise them to this point.

ton, as it were. and 1t is evident that
he regards 1t from a wholly new and
different standnoint.

yulihefene slanupoint.
To him the Constitution has no def
mite, but-a vague and shifting, mean
ing. For it he entertains nothing of
the profound respect which should be
ingrained in the American statesman;
nothing of the respect which our real
" great Presidents have exhibited
both by action and by word of mouth.
1t is impossible to find anywhere in
the utterances Of the present execu-
tive an expression of deep trust In the
instrument upon which our forefath-
ers grounded our government. No
where has he evlnced bedrock faith
in that eternal pattern Of republican
government; nowhere has he taken the
time seriously to regard 1t. On the
contrary, his acts have shown not only
his utter lack of reverence for 1t,
which in President must be viewed
as deeply appalling, but a positive dis
regard, and indeed a violation, of its
very provisions.
That this government has under,
President Roosevelt actually shifted
somewhat from its constitutional base
is the very gravest of realities.
Whether it shall be restored to its
former constitutional security is an is
sue Of magnitude which has been rare
ly eaualled in the political history of
the country.
Whether the influence represented
by President Roosevelt shall be check
ed or further encouraged is the prac-
teal question which is presented to
the voters. Shall there be substituted
for this weakening influence the
strong restraint of a constitutional

The Striped Beetle.

The most troublesome pest of the
cucumber, melon and squash vines is
the striped beetle which feeds on the
young leaves and gathers on the stem
near the ground gnawing the plant.
Where there are only few hills they
may be protected by screens or wire
netting, or common mosquito netting
on circular wire frames. Persistent
use of plaster of air-slaked lime will
drive them away, also tobacco dust.
The best poison is paris green little
weaker than used for potato plants,
or one pound to one hundred pounds of
plaster.
