The velvet bean should be planted
as early as possible, after danger of
hard frost. They will stand a light
frost. My main crop of beans was
planted in March, and were six in
ches high when a light frost killed
nearly all the leaves; but the beans
came out and made splendid crop

ed something Of his character, and in
hopes some of the boys who read this
will follow his example and get busy
and get into some Of the games Of
life and play them for all there is in
it, I give it. He has always been
busy. Never had time to spend an
hour loafiing around the stores, al
ways was busy doing something.
Took the short course at Ames two
years ago; took a showing of corn,
failed to win out Did he quit? Not
he. Got right into corn class, went
to the bottom Of the business, went
home determined to win. Followed
the training Of short course, and the
result was he won both sweepstakes
prizes, and with it all has had time
to go to church, lead the choir, skip
the cuss words, the cigars, the whisky,
and the ct ceteras In fact he is a
manly fellow of whom his parents
can be Justly proud.

Size and Quality.

We have often advised Florida farm
ers to try the raising of horses or
mules as more profitable than cattle.
1t costs no more to feed and care Tor a
good colt than poor one The Nation
al Stockman and Farmer gives the fol-
lowing advice to those who cOntem-
plate raising colts for market.
The American farmer cannot af-
ford to raise a common horse or d
small horse The ranchmen can raise
small horses because they are the cas-
lest, and shiftiest, and because he
can sell them cheap and still make
money (But as a business PROPOSE
ton for him the small horse is behind
the larger one, tOO.) He can and
does raise and market a I5-hand
horse, good shape and sound, for
less than the grain it costs a farmer
to raise one of the kind A farmer
who does not expect to raise big
ger horse than that will nine times
out Of ten make money by keeping the
service fee in his pocket and putting
his feed into something else. He
can better afford to buy this kind than
to raise them. No farmer can come
out even on a common horse a
horse that is not saddle horse, a
driver, carriage horse, an express
horse or a draft horse. There are
plenty Of ranch horses and misfts to
supply all Of the in-between classes.
It's better to buy than to bother
with them.
The breeding season is here now,
and every man who breeds a mare
should have long ago made up his
mind as to what he has and what he
ought to use to get horse that will
sell If he has not the kind of a
mare to produce a seller, better not
breed If he cannot find a stallion
that will produce seller, better not
breed Get size, no matter what class
you breed, and as much quality as pos
sible Size and quality are a rare and
costly combination and it pays to go
after them.

All Run Over.

The following article is taken from
the Sun Of Tallahassee. 1t will be MOTTO
ed that of the five different manufacture
ers reported on, E. O. Painter Fertiliz-
er Companys goods are the only ones
that the guaranteed analysis ran over
in every instance. Not single short
age was reported. The chemists re-
ports were made from samples taken
by himself or his agents after the goods
had been shipped to the consumers.
This is valuable information for users
Of fertilizer.
THE report of the State Chemist Of
Florida for 1905, has in it some inter-
esting information regarding fertilizers
manufactured in Florida and elsewhere
The specimens anal yzed were in all
cases taken direct from the consumer,
thus eliminating any possible collision
between the officials of the chemistry
department and the fertilizer manu-
facturer.
Under the law every package of
commercial fertilizer must have a tag
attached, with the guarantee analysis
printed thereon, and the Sheriffs of
the counties are required to assist in
maintaining the law and protecting
the citizens of the State from the i'm
position of fraudulent, inferior or de-
fcient commercial fertilizers.
Looking over the report it is graft
tying to find that, in the case OF
home made fertilizers the manufac-
turers are generally up to standard
Of guarantees. There are some in
stances, however, where the per cent
falls far below the guarantee when
compared with the official one and we
cite few cases, selecting only those
Of Florida manufacturers, except one,
that Of Mapes, as this is extensively
used IN the State. Only three kinds
are appended as space is limited and
copies OF the report can, no doubt,
be obtained by readers of the Sun by

A pretty little scheme is on having
for it's object the nomination of w. A.
Gordon, Jr.. for county attorney at the
convention tomorrow. The astute Mr..
Gordon long ago. discovered that his
real source of strength was in the bit
ter fight being waged between the sup
porters of Roy Ayers and Dave Scott.
Now. when the contest is at the eli.
max. Mr.. Gordon suggests to those
desiring a Democratic victory that the
way is open. He points out to the
delegates that because of the Ayers
Scott feud. success is endangered. be-
cause the Ayers men will knife Scott
to a finish if Dave should be the nom
inee. while the Scott people will new
err support Ayers after the deal they
have received. This would appear on
the face of it to present difficulty,
but Mr.. Gordon continues to point out
that if the warning factions will unite
on him. the feud will disappear and
everything will be lovely. The plan
looks pretty good on its face. and Mr..
Gordon may make some medicine
through it. The Argus warned the
unterrified from the first that this Mr.
Gordon was a deep 'un, and here's the

In addition to this he is very popular
with all classes of citizens and is
known to nearly every one in the
county.
Miss Lena Newell, the candidate for
superintendent of schools, is almost
a Montana product. having resided
many years in the state, and complet-
ed her training as an instructor at the
State Normal College at Dillon, where
she graduated with high honors. Since
then she has been engaged in teach
ing in the Lewistown public schools
and has been most successful in her
work. She has travelled extensively
all over Fergus county, visited prac-
tically all of the school districts, and
is thoroughly familiar with the condi-
lions and needs of each. Whoever her
opponent may be, she cannot be more
worthy of the honor of election on
the score of fitness for the place than
is Miss Newell.
Otto F. Wasmansdorff, who was re-
nominated for surveyor, will be re-
turned an easy winner. His conduct
of the office during the past two years
has been such as to virtually disarm
all opposition to him.
The same may be said of DR.. F. F..
Attix, renominated for coroner. DIR.
Attix's medical knowledge makes him
an especially valuable man for this
place, and while his duties are light,
il is something of a sacrifice for a
man of his attainments to accept the
place, which at times. however, de-
mands just such man.

justice of the peace of Big Spring town.

term of w. r. Mcfarland and has

After raving for weeks over the ter
rible bosses in the Republican party
of Fergus and telling it's readers what
cut and dried performance the Re-
publican convention was going to be-
the local Democratic whistle finds it.
self up against it. No more open con-
vention has ever been held in this
state than that of last Saturday. and
the delegates ran it from beginning
to end to suit themselves. This fact
is as well known to the whistle as it
is to everyis to everyone else, SO now
the tune is changed. Instead Of be-
ing dire straights because of those
terrible bosses, the Republican party
is going to wreck and ruin because it
has no leaders, The whistle will
discover however, that the Republican
party in Fergus is not lacking in lead
ers any more than it is in followers.
and the two of them will be sufficient
to make a clean sweep at the coming
election. OF course insincerity is to
be expected in politics. but there never
was nicer illustration of it than is
now being furnished by the change
in tunes being played by the Demo
cratic whistle.
