A serious and expensive mistake 10
often made In stacking bay by building
several small stacks instead Of one large
rick. II forty tons Of hay are to DO
stacked 1t is better to put 1t into two
stacks OF twenty tons each than to build
eight small stacks Of Eve tons esch,
Tho dimensions Of twenty ton stack Of
hay are about sixteen feet wide, thirty
six feet over and forty feet long. Such
q stack presents 3.O5s feet Of exposed
surface or 8.l18 feet for the two stacks,
while the exposed surface of b five ton
stack Of hay Is about 1,lO0 or $500 feet
of exposed surface for the eight stacks
required for the forty tons. The wealth
cred hay on the surface is damaged and
almost worthless to depth Of about six
inches and experts who have cast fG-
ures on the loss estimate gain OF sew
enty-6ve cents q ton by stacking hay In
large stacks. As the hay crop all over
the country will be very short this year
1t behooses our farmers to take all pre-
cautions against loes from any source
whatever.-Ex.

The deposits In the National Banks,
upon which they pay no interest,
amounted on July SD to t88, 790. e8l
and Secretary Shaw has promised
the banks to let them have most Of
the 480, O0O, 600 which will be forth
coming from the sale Of Panama
bonds on the same terms. This Is .
soft snap for the banks, they sub
scribe for the bonds and still keep
the money, but draw the interest
which the bonds call for. It's great
finAnciering for the banks but rather
expensive for the taxpayers.

AQueston Of Tainted Money.

If the Republican congressional
committee lis only going to collect 81
from those members Of the party who
feel like subscribing, why did the
party leaders refuse to pass the Till
man bill which prohibited corpora
lions from giving money to political
parties? Somehow the two facts
don't seem to jibe and there is a
sneaking suspicion that Chairman
Jim Sherman would not refuse .
larger donation from the sugar trust,
the Standard OIL trust, the beef trust
or even the railroad corporations, ii
checks were forwarded In plain en-
velopes. It will be remembered that
even President Roosevelt denounced
Judge Parker for charging that the
trusts and corporations had subscrib-
ed to the Republican campaign fund
in 1904, but 1t has since been proven
that such funds were solicited and re-
ceived, especially from the funds Of
the Life Insurance corporations
which should have been sacred to

Horse Hints.

Warm weather and dust very soon
cause sore shoulders. Keep the col
lar clean, smooth, and close-fitting
and battle the shoulders every night
with salt water followed by pure cold
water, all OF which acts as an insur-
ance against gals.
While your wife Is house-cleaning
get busy In the stables, removing all
dust and applying whitewash.
To make the most Of them keep the
colts growing from birth to maturity.
The colt that has to follow the pillow
or harrow seldom leads the string at
the county fair.
Educate your driving colts, don't
let him run for two years and then
break him.
Always keep your nerve and be
cool with your horses; they invari-
ably reflect the disposition of their
driver. -.-.

Typical Machine Politician.

The hide bound partisan spirit that
some politicians display, should show
the people how useless they are for
any practical service. Here is Sena-
tor Frye pledging the Republican
State convention In Maine that he
was for the G. o. P. fright or wrong"
As the Republican machine In Maine
has been notoriously corrupt and
wrong, very wrong, for number Of
years, the members Of the conven-
ton must have felt their hearts warm
to Frye for his pledge to stand by
them. 1t Is only necessary to men-
ton that Frye was the champion Of
ship-subsidy in the Senate to show
how faithfully he stands by the G.
o. p, when it is radically wrong.
The voters OF Maine should clear the
decks by defeating the Republican
ring and then dispose Of Frye and his
ilk when their time comes. II you
look up Frye's record hewill be found
voting for all the corporate legislA-
ton that the Republican party has
been responsible for.

Rangers Expected to Bring
Good Prices This Year

II present prices can be maintained
and the Northwestern rangeman is
in position to send fat cattle to Chi
cago his face will wear a smile that
has not illumined it since 1902. Cars
have already been ordered for load
in at Belle Fourche, 8. D., on July rs,
and there is q disposition on the part
of some Of the outfits to take chance
and ship of green grass, provided 1t
does not cure meanwhile, with the
object Of avoiding the break that US
ually follows q free movement OF
grassers. Present indications are,
however, that If rangers are as fat as
reports from the West indicate haste
to order cars will be injudicious. Fat
cattle, either grass or cornfed, are not
going to be superintendent. 1t is true
there will be an abundance Of South
western stuff but it does not begin to
compete with the product of Mon
tana, Wyoming and the Dakotas.
Killers bought rangers last year and
stored the meat away In freezers by
the ton because the market was glut-
ted with 1t, but If signs are read Alright
they will not be able to repeat the
performance this year, unless, Of
course, the rangeman has more beef
to market than he has claimed or
been credited with.-Breeders Gaz-

Young men should investigate how the
so-called Republican policy OF protec.
ton that Platt and the other Republic
can leaders stand for, taxes them for
the benefit of protected interests.
Young men should know why the cost
OF living is so greats per cont higher
than when the present tariff law was
enacted-and their salaries have not In
creased in like proportion. Young men
should inquire why they are compelled

The Lesson Of the Horse Market.

Quotations on horses from week to
week are both high and low. In the
draft horse classes we find compete
ton and plenty of outlet for the sup
ply of those horses which are of size
and have quality, while for the un-
dersized, the scrub. the misflt and the
plain horse of common quality we
find low market which means q
poor demand. Buyers have learned
their lesson and their action in the
markets is sufficiently plain to indi-
cate to the producing class what Is
needed and what will bring profit
able values in the public mart For
the right kind Of a horse the demand
IL increasing but for the other kind
lower values are bound to rule.
Neither on the market nor the farm
Is the scrub a profitable animal. In
our breeding let us avoid him and
prosper.-Ranch and Range.

Colorado Should Take Warning

Regardless of what the future may.
have In store for William J. Bryan,
he has given some sound advice to
the Democratic party in Illinois In
his letter to Judge o. P. Thompson
Of Jacksonville, ILL.,, in which he re-
quests the latter to endeavor to se-
cure the resignation of Roger Sulli-
van of Illinois from the Democratic
national committee.
Mr.. Bryan desires to have his resig-
NATHAN sent In because Of the corpora
ton connections of Mr.. Sullivan. 1t
is in the principles that he lays down
a. essential to the success of the
Democratic party, however, that
what he has to say is Of widest con-
Germ, and from his letter the follow
ing extracts are taken:
'.Our party's chances all depend
upon It's ability to convince the pub
lie of its good Intentions"
IF we do not maintain the right Of
the majority to control party policy
and select the party's representatives,
for what can we contendT
II the best friend of the state Of
Colorado were to undertake to per-
form the greatest possible service for
this commonwealth and it, interests
Of every character, he could not do
better than to buttonhole each Colo
RADIO voter, whether Republican or
Democrat, and whisper into his ear
words similar to those Mr.. Bryan has
written to his friend in Illinois.
Each party In Colorado this year
depends absolutely upon Its ability to
convince the public that its inten-
tions are good, and II the citizens of
Colorado, Republicans or Democrats,
do not demand and insist upon the
right of the majority Of our citizens
to control and direct our public af-
fairs, wherein lies Colorado's hope?
Both parties could heed Mr.. Bryan's
advice with profit, and 1t is to be
hoped that the. winning party will
carry out Its ''geod Intentions. Col

Cut Ii Out.

This continual racket between
Mayor Speer and Senator Patterson
ought to be put stop to, for the
good of the party and the good of the
people In general. That one or the
orther aspires to be the party leader
is not of particular interest to the
people, and their personal quarrels
are not of half 80 much Importance
as is the party welfare. There is a
very important campaign on now,
and all forces should get together
and quit scrapping, for there is need
for united and solid army Of Demo-
Gratis to overthrow the hosts Of cor
porate greed which has robbed and
plundered the people Of Colorado,
until all that is left to US is our good
name and right Of franchise. A d.
vided house cannot stand, and fac
tional fights are entirely out Of place
at this time. Mr.. Patterson Is big
man and has done wonders for Colo
RADIO, but at the same time the people
Of Colorado have also granted him
much honor, and he should not get so
