Thought followed by action makes
mole hills of mountain. Now and
here-read to THINK, think to Do.
A Maxim of "Our Drummer -
The following suggestive editorial
by William Allen White in his paper
The Emporia (Aan.) Gazette on why
people should keep their money
at home,' should be read by every
citizen of Watertown. They should
not only read it, but they should
profit by it. Mr.. White says:
1.-THE an who buys his goods of
a mail order house and expects his
neigbhors in Emporia to buy goods
of him or to buy labor of him, or to
buy professional service of him is
economically leech. He is sucking
industrial blood out of the town and
gives none back. He sends his pro-
fits out of town like a Chinaman, and
has no more right to a standing in a
community than a foreigner. We
are all neighbors Undesirable in this
town, and the man who sends away
for his goods is not one of US. He
is Of another industrial system, and
deserves no mans support in En-
poria. - -. 1 ssssss-. sisssk ssS
1.-The fact that this is economically
wrong is recognized by the mail order
houses themselves. They protect
their customers as thieves by offer
ing to leep people from knowing where
the mail order goods come from. The
mail order houses have no tags on
their goods. They say in their cat
alogues that none of their goods are
marked an that no one knows where
they are bought. If it is proper to
hide the place of purchase of an arti-
Gle, it is wrong to buy the article at
that place. Only the man who steals
is ashamed to say where he got any
thing he has. There is such thing
as tainted dry goods, tainted gro
ceries and tainted furniture. All
of such that are not bought at home,
of men who befriended you, of men
to whom you owe living, are faint
ed because they come unfairly
1.-THE trouble of Emporia is this
So many merchants buy their goods
away from home that a systematic
jealousy has sprung up. The dry
good dealers doesn't feel that they
have to buy their furniture at home
because the furniture mems wives
buy their goods away from home. The
same quarrel exists in every line of
trade. 1t is disheartening and dis
tressing and paralyzing to the bust
ness interests of this town.
cit is time to change and get to-
gether. 1t is time to begin to re-
form ourselves and not our neighbors,
by buying everything at home whether
he neighbors do or not. And now
is the time to begin.
1.-The thing to do is for all of US to
turn over a new Leaf

NEW POTATO PLANT,
ANT|-PAR|S GREEN
Grow So High Bugs Fall Off
and Break NeCkS---Only
Rap With Stick.

John Schmit of Jefferson, has been
experimenting somewhat along the
lines of the Wizard Burbank and has
originated a potato plant that should
recommenda itself to all raisers of
tubers in this country, who would dis
pense with the use of Paris green to
kill potato bugs. The plant that has
resulted from his experiments grows
very high and each plant produces a
half bushel of tubers more or less
mostly less. The advantage of his
discovery is, that it grows very high
and it is not necessary to spray it
with solution of Paris green in
water. All that is required is for a
man to pass between the rows with
a stick in his hand and as he passes
along give each plant a sharp rap and
the bugs fall to the ground and break
their necks. He has not tried it as yet,
but is confident that it will work
satisfactorily and this fall will have
several hundred bushels of the pota-
toes for sale and those desiring few
bushels for seed should send their or
1ers at once, or they may be too late
to secure any of the wondrous tubers

NATTER OF INTEREST TO PUBLIC
Pension Department Learns That
a Law Has Been Violated.
Generally Fair Today.

The pension department has ISSUED
orders to all notary publics thai
n the future no pensions must b.
signed unless the party to whom the
voucher is issued is present in person
with the voucher in his possession.
A heavy fine is imposed on both tt e
notary public and the soldier who has
a voucher acknowledged otherwise.
1t appears that heretofore it hs 3
been the custom of the soldiers to file
their vouchers with the notary public
who would sign them as if the party
to whom they were issued was pres
ent.
This is clearly a violation of the
law but as it had become the custom
of notaries all over the country, the
department issued orders to stop it,
and any one violating the order in the
future will be heavily fined, and the
commission of the notary revoked.

Management of the Dairy Herd.

In the first place too much emphasis
cannot be laid on the practice of dairy
farmer always, as far as possible, breed
ing and rearing his own heifers, paying
the greatest attention to selecting the
calves from the best butter-producing
COWS. The productiveness of herd
can be greatly improved in few years
by this practice, and there is less risk
of introducing disease.
To fill up the places of old cows and
those which prove unlucky or unproft-
able, young heifers to the number of
one-third or one-fourth Of the total herd
should be available each year. The
time at which heifers should bear their
first calf depends much upon how they
have to be reared, which, needless to
say, should be as we'll done as possible.
Everything possible should be done to
develop the frame, Us it has been proved
that the largest animals in any particu-
lar breed are the most economical pro-
ducers of butter. Then, provided heifers
have been we'll reared, they can be put
to the bull at year and nine months.
Some breeders like them to come in at
q year and nine months, or two years,
and then milk them on as long as they
will, and let them have a seasons spell.
Anyway, the aim should be to develop
the frame, to give large digestive Ca
pacity.
Heifers, after the FIRST calf, should al
ways be MIXED for as long a period as
possible, say 10 months, even if only
stripping, and never allowed to go dry
about six months after calving, as they
often will if precautions are not taken
This encourages most valuable habit,
that Of persistent milking
A COW should never be dry more
than six or eight weeks out of the year,
but she requires this time to regain
strength for the following season. A
good COW will often milk up to the time
Of calving, but if allowed to do so will moi
produce as good results the next year
She must be dried of systematically
FIRST, by milking only once day, anC
then once in two days, then say twice
week perfectly dry. Great care mus
be taken not to finally turn her out un
til the udder is perfectly clear, or th,
loss of quarter may result.-W r
