BEGINNINGS OF OUR SENATOR'S.
Scott Confesses to Being a ~Cowpuncher
and Nelson a Newsboy.

WASHINGTON, June Ex-senator Scott
of West Virginia and Senator Nelson OF
Minnesota>told of early experiences in the
Senate to-day. When the live stock ship
ment bill was under consideration Mr..
Scott justified the knowledge he displayed
about cattle by confessing that in his youth
he had been a ~oowpuncher.
Mr.. Nelson had his say when the bill
for compulsory education in the District
Of Columbia was up. Senator B~randegee of
Connecticut had proposed an amendment
to sell newspapers if they had licenses
from the Superintendent Of Schools, and
Mr.. Nelson showed that he thought this
ridiculous.
"But they can't sell papers under the bill
as it now stands, explained Mr.. ~Brandegee.
whats thatS" cried Mr.. Nelson in his
shrill voice. do you mean to say a boy
can't sell newspapers without permission'
/ object to this amendment, and / object
to this bill. I started in life as a newsboy
and I won't vote to deprive any boy of the
chance to support his mother and sisters"
The bill went over under Mr.. Nelson's
objection.

Spraying Dormant Wood.

!
1t is nearly twenty years ago since
first noticed the efficacy of spraying, or
rather washing or soaking dormant
grape vines, including trellises, wires
and even the ground and all rubbish,
in March or April, with strong So
luton of iron sulphate. Weaker So
buttons of copper sulphate were later
on used in place Of iron sulphate with
equally satisfactory results. In my
own trials this first treatment seemed
to do more good than repeated later
sprayings with Bordeaux mixture on
the foliage Then ! extended the same
practice to the orchard. although the
effects were not SO marked, unless the

taken the stations long time to fall
in line; but most of the experts now
recommend this first treatment of the
dormant wood, and 1t Is sure to be-
come a general practice. I recommend
it especially for grape vines as most
effective in their case, and l prefer to

Tho "Farmer's" Type.

Who is the breeder of pure bred stock
of the present day who does not make
extravagant claims for his stock as
being the farmers" type, the use
full sort, the unitarian animal, and
there is food for ample thought in this
claim
One condition which has furnished
more than it's share of detracting in
huence as pertaining to the breeding
of pure bred stock, is the determine
ton manifest upon the part of breed
ers to strive for symmetry and beauty
in form. regardless of size and other
evidences of usefulness. Fancy pedi-
gree and blue blood" too, have lend
ed their share OF impediments.
But the tendency now is to get back
to utility, to prepare for the farm
ers needs, and great will be the cons
pensaiion in fruitful returns to the
promoters of such a condition The
breeder of cattle seeks more bone and
vitality in his stock, and incidentally
bit more milk. The breeder of
swine seeks more scale, stronger
bone proliticacy and increased vigor.
This is all as it should be so long as
1t remains within the bounds Of prac-
ticabiity.
We reiterate that the farmer is the
backbone of the business. Unless he
becomes convinced of the value of
better blood in his herds and flocks,
the destiny of the breeder can not be
a success. The skepticisms of the
farmer viii only be overcome in the
maintaining of evident utility in pure
breeds.
The quite usual lack Of symmetry
and beauty of lines in those animals
that have sufficient scale and bone
and vgor to insure utility is perhaps
the main reason why breeders varied
from the first well trodden roads
which brought success so long as
h-eeders deal amongst themselves
without reference to the farmer. lis
true that they may successfully main
tain whatever type of animal they
may choose but that condition cannot
prove of long life. The tendency, too.
of breeders to select for pedigree and
fancy points is the source OF many
a boom. The farmer is eliminated
from the game first by the evident
lack of value of the animals offered,
and finally by the extravagant prices
which to him are prohibitory.
We hail with much satisfaction and
assurance the return to the farmers
type" Far-reaching success must GER
tainly attend the breeders efforts as
long as he gives good heed to the
needs Of the farmer, and thus enlists
him amongst the regular buyers of
pedigreed stock

AduIterated Seeds,

An Associated Press dispatch says
that the Department of Agriculture has
issued a circular relative to an inves-
| tigation of the adulteration OF orchard
grass, blue grass, clover and alfalfa
seed.
The department gathered seed from
all parts of the United States, buying
| in the open market, and of the seeds
examined about one-t third was found to
be adulterated. The degrees OF adult
iteration varied from 10 per cent to IS
per cent. The names of upward of one
hundred firms which the department
alleges are selling the adulterated
seeds are printed in the circular.
1t is estimated that 100000 pounds
of Canadian blue grass seed is annu-
ally imported into the United States
and mixed with the Kentucky blue
grass seeds, and sold as the latter.
A similar amount of trefoil Is i'm
ported from England, mixed with al
fafa seeds and sold at a correspond
ing advance. The seed men hold that
in many cases they have innocently
bought from others the aduterated
seeds. The department volunteered to
examine and report without charge up
on any seed samples sent in by dealers
or consumers.
The results OF this investigation
should be sufficient to impress upon
the farmer the necessity of having all
grass seeds examined by competent
authorities before sowing. We have
agricultural schools in all of the states
of the union which are maintained for
the benefit of the farmer. and this is
one of the instances where they should
be used. Send them samples of seed
for analysis.
This means of course that the farm
err cannot defer his buying until the
day before sowing, and upon some this
would work a hardship. but we feel
that farmers are going to become
little more forehanded thru a few
pressing necessities OF this character.
The condition may be circumvented,
too. to a considerable extent by procur-
ing seed from reliable seedsmen.

THE COURIER REvoLTs.

The Waterloo Courier, always an
open minded newspaper, but not class
edswith the progressive movement, has
come out clearly and unflinchingly for
the reforms now being urged by pro-
gressive republicans in the state and
nation. The Courier, reviewing the
duy Of the party. says:
It must be the directing and the re-
straining force. On the one hand it
must control and discipline special in
terests and classes which threaten
popular government, and upon the 9th
err check that impractical radicalism
whoch outruns conditions and seeks
the impossible, rejecting the full meas
ure Of reform that might otherwise
be attained. is there virtue in the
