SECRETARY TAFT
ATTACKS PARKER
ON THE PHILIPPINES ADMINS
TRATIoN.
Attempts to Refute the Charges Made
by the Democratic Nominee
For President.

Ithaca, N. Y, Oct. 26.-Secretary of
War William II. Taft in an address to-
night assailed Judge Parker's asser-
tions regarding the administration OF
the Philippines. He took the Demo-
cratic nominees charges, one by one,
and endeavored to refute them by
facts which had come under his own
observation during his term of office
in the islands. In opposition to Judge
Parker's statements as to the loss OF
life in the islands; the question of
trade; the shipping industry; and ex-
travagance and dishonesty among Off
clals, Secretary Taft presented an i'm
posing array of statistics, which, he
asserted showed the Democratic state
ments to be based on misinformation
and greatly exaggerated.
Replying to Mr.. Parker's assertion
that no good had been done in the Is
lands, Mr.. Taft said: Does he think
that the construction of roads and
bridges and harbors, and the expendi-
ture of not less than S10,000,000 in this
matter, is of no benefit to the islands ?
Does he think that the establishment
of health regulations and the reduc-
ton of the death rate in Manila and
other parts Of the islands one-half is
something for which the islanders
ought not to be grateful? Does he
think that the construction of an cleo
trio street railway in the city of Man
lila, covering 33 miles of road and re-
duCing the expense of living in the
city certainly 25 per cent and prob
ably more. is of no benefit to the peo-
pie of that city? Can he assert that
any of these benefits-school, improve
ments, hygiene, civil rights-would
be secured under Aguinaldo's govern
ment, to which he must turn the is
lands over if he abandons them in the
next few years?
AS to the authenticity of Judge
Parkers information Mr.. Taft had
this to say:
"The truth is that these statements,
whoever made them, read as if they
were copied from the reports of the in
surrecto junta which was so long es-
tablished in Hong Kong, and which
was nothing but bureau for the cir
culation of the most infamous sland-
ers against the civil government In the
islands with a view of inviting for

Fall Seeding OF Alfalfa.


The ground for alfalfa should be
well settled before seeding and only
the surface made loose. Alfalfa will
usually fail if seeded in the fall on
freshly plowed ground, according to
II. NJ Cottrell Of Kansas, who says:
Well cultivated cornfelds, with the
stalks cut and drawn off, give ideal
conditions. Such fields should not be
plOwed, but narrowed only before seed
ing. Wheat, oats, fax and millet stub
bic ground plowed shallow, narrowed
thoroughly and allowed to settle before
seeding furnishes good conditions for
alfalfa. If such ground is mellow
blowing may not be necessary, as the
land will only need to be disked and
cross iisked
The best time to SOW is in the last
half Of August. It is safe to SOW as
late as Sept 10 if conditions are good.
The ground must be well settled, with
4 loose mulch on top, and we'll saturat-
ed with moisture so as to bring up the
seed quickly and force the fall growth
If either of these conditions is lacking
it will not pay to sow.

small trough, with six inch side boards,
may be used for the wee pigs and
twelve or sixteen inch stuff for the

size Of pieces c and D should depend

the strain likely to come on the frame
For hogs Of ordinary weight a piece

ridgepole, c, and pieces / by 3 or , by
2 inches for the guard bars, D. These

firmly spiked to B. should be amply
stout to secure endwise rigidity.
For delivering slop to the trough. a

ranged to enter at the end of the feed

TIE BROWN SWISS COW.

Amazing Records Claimed In This

The illustration shows highly
priced Brown Swiss cow, Mascot, of
which a writer in Rural New Yorker

the most hearty and vigorous Of any

CARE OF TIE DAIRY.
Rules Suggested by the Vermont
Dafrynen's Association.

Rules Suggested by the Vermont
DairyInen's Association.
Stables should be well ventilated,
lighted and drained; should have tight
floors, walls and be plainly constructed.
No musty OF dirty litter, no strong
smelling material and no manure should
remain in the stable longer than is alb
solutely necessary.
Keep only healthy COWS. Promptly
remove suspected animals. In particu-
lar add no COWS to the herd unless it be
certain that they are free from tubercu-
lOSiS
DO not excite the COWS Or expose them
to stress Of weather.
Feed a good COW literally with fresh.
palatable feeding stuffs. DO not change
these suddenly. Provide water pure.
but not too cold, in abundance.
The mixer should be clean and his
clothes likewise
Brush the udder just before milking
and wipe with a clean cloth or sponge
Milk Quietly, quickly and thoroughly.
Throw away into the gutter the first
few streams from each teat This milk
is very Watery, of very little value and
is quite apt to injure the remainder Of
the milk.
Remove the milk promptly from the
stable to clean, dry room where the
air is pure and sweet.
Strain the milk through a clean fan
mel cloth or through two or three thick
neSses Of cheeSecloth.
Aerate and cool the milk as soon as it
Is strained. The cooler it is the more is
souring retarded. If covers are left off
the cans, cover with cloths or mosquito
netting
Never mix fresh warm milk with that
which has been cooled, nor close a can
containing warm milk, nor allow it to
freeze.
Wash all dairy utensils daily, thor
oughly rinsing in boiling hot water and
a little washing soda; scald and drain.
Boil strainer cloths daily After clean
ing keep utensils inverted in pure air
and sun, if possible, until wanted for
use.

rye are cut the sheaves are left in the
middle Of the field, and a very super

cut, plowed and sown on the same
day. While the turnips are growing

FEEDING THE HOGS.
Rude Table Manners and the Waste
of Food Prevented.


of Food Prevented.
One of the greatest troubles with the
hog is that he is so irrepressibly hog
gish. When you feed him he apparent
~ feels it his inherent duty to crowd
every other hog as far and forcefully
away from the feed as possible. When
ted grain on the open floor he takes it
upon himself to cover as much as he
can, to keep nosing and pushing his
fellows, often to his own loss Of food,
since more or less is wasted by his
rude table manners" When fed slop
il the trough the biggest hog will in
variably work his way through or over
th9 jam and get his carcass, into the
trough, where he complacently stands
lengthwise and if not satisfied with
that lays himself down. gulping in his
own and the smaller ones share until
too full even to grunt, when he will
stretch out for a sno0Ze if the trough is
big enough.
To avoid the waste of feed and to
give all an equal chance to secure their
share I have a number of schemes and
devices, but l consider the one shown
in the Illustration to be as good as if
not better than any, says a writer in
Farm and Fireside
The first requisite is a good sized,

Importance of Testing Cows.

The Connecticut Storrs station has
tested the cows of thirty-two different
herds in the state of Connecticut. 1t
reports that facts brought out by this
study strongly emphasize the correct
ness of the claim that but little profit
is derived from COW that does not
produce 5000 pounds of milk per year,
particularly if the milk is sold at the
low price of cent per pound. No
stronger argument is needed in favor
Of the necessity of testing animals and
thus learning their exact value and OF
the selection of dairy COWS than is af-
forded by the above records. The
average cost of keeping a cow year
has been variously estimated by ex-
pertinent stations in different localities
at from $50 to $40.

FEED FOR MILK COWS

| A Texan dairynan in Farm and
Ranch says: We have used these feeds
with pleasant results III about the fol-
lowing proportions for milk Eerd
kept for butter production. Wheat
bran, five pounds; cOttonseed meal.
three pounds; rice polish, three pounds:
cotton hulls, twenty-five pounds-this
for LOCO pounds live weight. With
feeds given you cannot use cottonseed
meal freely without having an excess
Of protein and oil.
Feeding Cows In Illinois.
H p Purviance, who conducts q
dairy farm Of 100 head of COWS in Lo-
gan county, H., and who makes a
profit Of SIS per COW year, feeds the
following: All the clover hay is fed dur
ing the winter, as much as the cows
will cat, in addition to from a gallon
to gallon and a half of corn and cob
meal mixed with wheat bran. the lat
ter being one-third.. Less bran is fed
when the clover is extra good More
bran is used if timothy hay is fed Less
ground is used when on stalk feed.
Meals For Cows.
Corn and cob meal, when fed to cows
at the Ohio station. produced more
milk than whole corn. The difference.
however, was very Slight, and. as the
percentage of fat in the milk was
slightly less from the meal than from
the corn, it is a question whether or
not this difference should be considered
at all. Strong, healthy, vigorous cows
which are not being fed to the limit,
can take care of whole corn in good
shape, particularly if the ears are Of
moderate siZe-New England Home
stead.
Grain Ration For Cows.
A mixture of 100 pounds each of
bran, oilmeal and cOttOnseed meal will
give feed that will analyze 2S.2 per
cent protain, 31.5 per cent carbohy-
drates and 5 per cent fat, says FL. G.
Manchester in Rural New Yorker. The
COWS will eat up reasonably clean
about twenty-five pounds of hay. A
fair average would be five pounds of
grain per day
Little Food, little MILK.
Speaking in a general way, it may
be said that the food supplied to the
dairy COW is designed to serve two pur-
poses. The first and the one that al
ways does and always must take
precedence is the keeping up of the ma
chinery of life. The animal heat must
be maintained, and the constant wear
and waste Of the bones and tissues of
the body must be replaced. All this.
must be done whether any milk is
produced or not. If suitable material
then remains it will be utilized for the
second purpose Of the food, which is
the production of milk. The man
who gives his COWS but little food can
obtain but little milk from them, sim
ply because they have very little ma
terial from which to make it. This
rule applies just as fully to the best
cow in the country as it does to the
poorest one.
