Special to The Herald
SANTA CIR w, Sept 6.-The Repub-
lican elephant today was transformed
into Southern Pacific locomotive.
With Walter Parker at the throttle
receiving orders from W. F. Herrin,
stationed at San Francisco, the cor
poration machine rushed through the
&c. o. p" convention of the state OF
California.
Political ambitions were wrecked by
the irresistible force of the Southern
Pacific engine and the favorite of the
mass of Republican voters, Governor
George c. Pardee, was left bleeding
and dying beside the track.
James N. Gillett, notorious as a
friend of corporations and the tool of
the Southern Pacific stood upon the
pilot smiling amicably upon the scene
of havoc while Abe Ruef leader of
San Francisco Republicanism and
would-be boss of the state machine,
clung to the bumpers on the tender OF
the engine, his feet flying in the haze
that was .discernible in the ambient
political air.
May Strike Landslide
Onward the S. PIG. o. p. engine
rushed, but many are the Republicans
here who predict that next November
1t will strike a Democratic rock of
anti-bossism and anti-corporation in
fiuence and be thrown into the ditch OF
defeat, with Gillett buried beneath the
debris, Parker dead at the throttle and
Ruef perched on top Of the wreck,
wondering how he will get down. /,
1t Is safe to say that never In the
history of the Republican party in
California has ticket been nominated
In more machinelike manner. with
less enJHuStdtSil anu with SiSdtSl
probability of defeat than that which
was today formally placed in the field.
On every hand delegates were heard
to declare that they came here to obey
the dictates of the Southern Pacific.
that the popular favorite was Governor
Pardee, but that Gilett was slated by
the organization and the machine must
rule.
Predict Democratic Victory
Many state openly their belief that
should the Democrats nominate a
strong ticket they will have better
chance of winning than they ever had
before, while many predict certain de-
feat at least for Gillett.
Outside the delegation from Hum
boldt, the home of Gillett. and Alameda,
the home of Pardee. there was practi-
cally no demonstration over the nomi-
nation OF Gillett, while the announcer
ments OF the votes of assembly dis
tricts of san Francisco sounded like
the uneasy moaning Of lost political
soul.
In every respect and throughout the
proceedings OF the entire convention

A Remarkable Kansas Hen,

Seven years ago Mrs. A. B.
Gibson gave her little grand
son, Donald Downing, a lit
tie white chicken, says the
Robinson Index. 1t was a
cross between a White Rock
and White Leghorn, and
proved to be pullet. AT six
months it began laying and
has averaged 125 eggs each
year since. Has never been
sick, and never becomes
broody. AT this time she is
laying every day and slips
on and off the nest without a
sound. Her eggs are large
and pure white, and are in
/ great demand for incubator
purposes. She is SO bright
and spry and her comb and
wattles are so red that but
for her long spurs she would

Below is an article taken from the
Delphos Republican concerning some
grocery statesmen who are selling to
the farmers of the state: "a couple
of box car grocery statesmen, OF ped
dlers arrived yesterday morning and
contracted with liveryman to drive
them through the country, where
they expect to take orders. we are
not informed as to the methods of
these two statesmen, but from what
we can learn of the methods used by
state, we would advise our readers to
have nothing to do with them. There
is no graphophOne scheme in the game
that travelling grocery men are work
ing in the other parts of the state
at least none that we have heard Of
but they have caught their victims
just the same. when you buy of
travelling grocery statesmen you have
no opportunity of returning goods
that are not satisfactory, nor have
you any assurance that the few good
bargains which they offer will be de-
liyered with your bill of goods. Ac-
cording to our information, the bar
gains do not arrive with your goods,
but are to follow some time in the
near future-but they never come.
Better buy from your home merchant,
who will guarantee everything to be
just as represented, and who is right
here all the time to make good his
guarantee"

At the State Agricultural
college last year experiments
were conducted to determine
the value of cottonseed meal
in feeding hogs. Two sows,
a Duroc, and a Poland China,
were put upon a ration of
corn chop and shorts and
cottonseed meal soon after
bred, the meal being made a
fifth of the ration. This was
kept up until the end of the
sucking period, and two
weeks after the pigs weaned
they were given the same
proportion of cottonseed
meal, soon raised to twenty
five per cent. Early in Sep
TENDER the pigs began to
lose flesh and two died. Then
the cottonseed meal was drop
ped from the ration and the
pigs did we'll from then on.
These pigs were kept in a
dry yard without grass. No
body has been able to explain
the peculiar cause of cotton
seed meal poisoning, but
enough tests have been made
to prove the danger of con-
tinuing this ration very long.
1t is not considered safe to
let hogs follow steers over
forty days that are being fed
cottonseed meal.
