Kansas City Times.

Kansas City Times.
While all the rest OF the Democratic
politicians who are looking forplaces
on the state ticket are anxious, Sam
B. Cook occupies peculiar position.
A few days ago the State Editorial
association met in st. Louis. In the
crowd at the Laclede hotel three
candidates for governor were work
ing among their friends. There was
considerable evidence of feeling be-
tween the gubernatorial candidates,
but Cook mingled with every faction,
and seemed popular with them ALL
He has the easiest fight of anyone in
the race for anything on the ticket,
for every candidate for governor
wants him on the ticket for the bene-
fit of his information and general ac-
quaintance. Mr.. Cook is candidate
for secretary of state. and, though
be has competition, it is doubtful if
many people even in politics know
or care who the competitor is. Cook
has q virtue rare in Missouripolitics,
good deal more rare than it ought
to be. He stands pat" never turns
and never forgets a good turn.

Breeding
Early Lambs

Very many methods have been sug-
gested to make the ewes accept the
ram in hot weather, a very necessary
thing for the winter lamb raiser, and |
think we have tried about all of them,
says a correspondent of American Cul-
tivatOr. Sometimes we have thought
we had a sure method only to find the
next year that it had no merit at all.
It is not natural for sheep to mate I'M
til cool weather in the autumn, but
there is a great difference in breeds.
Take the DOrSets, for instance They
have been long used for raising early
lambs and have become accustomed
to breeding much earlier than any 9TH
er breed. In fact, Dorset eve, if
rightly treated, will breed at almost
any time of year. But Dorsets are not
plentiful enough to fill the demand for
early lamb raising, and we want to
know how it can be brought about to
induce the ordinary grade sheep of the
country to breed out of season.
Much depends upon the breed of the
ram. A Leicester or Cotswold ram can
hardly be induced to associate with a
flock of ewes before cool nights in Oc-
tober, while Dorset ram will follow
with the ewes at all seasons regardless
Of the heat. And there is no disputing
the fact that the constant attention of
the ram will have much influence in
bringing the ewes into condition. We
manage to have our ewes in such con-
dition at the beginning of the season
that by turning them into good pasture
they will begin to gain, and we also
sometimes give a little extra food like
wheat bran-anything to start them
gaining-and then see to it that the
ram is Cf such breed that he will per-
sistently follow the eve.

He Remembered the Story.

Wallace McFarlane and Colonel Rob-

a law suit in Pennsylvania in the early
SOS, and in it's course heat and
acrimony developed. Mr.. McFarlane,
it is hardy necessary to say, retained
the dignity for which he is justly
celebrated, although sorely tempted to
ret0rt harshly to the shafts of wit Of
his gifted adversary. Presently, after
Colonel Tngersoll had in his pleading
been more irritating than before Mr..
McFarlane broke in with:
''Have a care, have a care, Colonel
Ingersoll. Remember your theology
recall the story of Ananias and Sap
phira. Have care, say!"

tOrted the colonel ''In fact, [ have

without additional expense for struc-
tural timbers Under these conditions
do not hesitate to build square silo,
but when a new structure is undertak-
en- the round silo will generally be
found more satisfactory. The round
silo is preferable because there are no
angles to cut off, and each hoop acts as
a brace, and there is no trouble with
springing walls, which permit the air
to enter and cause the silage to spoil
for several inches around the outside.
Then the round silo does not require
the use Of so much lumber, and some
types Of it are very simple of con-
struction. The cost is also less in pro-
portion to the capacity than with the
square types.
The type of silo illustrated has a
continuous door. 1t was Of large diam
eter and lined with common flooring, to
which laths were attached, after which
it was plastered with cement.

Homeless.

Bishop Olmsted of Denver is inter
ested in number of charities, and OBJ
tains many generous contributions on
their BEHALF from rich Episcopalians.
There is in Denver, however, mil
lionaire who will rarely consent to help
Bishop Olmsted's pet projects. He is
a generous man, and in his own way
he assists the poor, but to organized
charity, for some strange reason, he
heartily objects. The bishop often
asks him for subscriptions, but these
requests are generally refused.
Recently the millionaire had his pOr-
trait painted by Henri. Bishop Ohm
sted met him the other day land said:
II saw this morning your admirable
portrait by Henri"
"And did you ask it for subscrip-
tion?' said the millionaire, smiling.
NO." said Bishop Olmsted; II saw
there was no use-it was SO like
you.''--Kansas City Journal
