Trying to Claim Credit.

An exchange calls attention to
the fact that the antitrust laws
which Attorney General Hadley
is trying to enforce were enacted
as laws in 1891 when the Demo-
Gratis were in power. Now that a
Republican is getting the credit
for their enforcement the Demo-
Gratis ''point with pride" to the
laws as the work of their party.
1t is sufficient to see what credit is
do them. The laws were passed
for effect and not for enforcement,
But as the party of great promises
and little action notes the result of
Hadley's thorough and energetic
work they want it for a share of
the credit. In the past we have
never heard Missouri's officials
charged very strongly with en-
forcing the various laws of the
state. When MI. Folk as
sumed the Office of governor he
commenced to enforce about two
of the laws, and that really is
about the Democratic record. Of
course there is credit due them for
that much of an effort, but it will
hardly satisfy the people, and it
does not justify the party claim
ing a monopoly on the law en-
forcement proposition. The Re-
publican state officials are all do
ing their full duty in every re-
spect, and it is but natural that the
Democrats should endeavor to OBJ
tain a part of the credit at least.
but they are not entitled to it and
we have faith the voters will so de-
eide in the coming fall elections.

There are several common sense
ways of obtaining sleep says the
Worlds Work. One of them is
the application of cold wet cloths
to the back of the head and neck.
This treatment will not be followed
by q reaction if it is continued for
a number of minutes, and it often
works surprisingly well. Another
way of solving the problem is to
soak feet in a hot bath until the
veins become dilated with blood:
or the whole body up to the hips
may be given a hot soak. With
some people a two or three minute
hip bath is the most effective
remedy. Others find help in a few
slow exercises which do not jar or
excite the system but simply bring
some fatigue to the big muscles of
the trunk and limbs. Friction of
the skin, especially of the lower
part ofthe body, is another means.

buzzards of the old Democratic

Socialistic tendencies. The windy

tickled the whiskers of the Pogo

space nor much chalk to figure out
that if the Democrats hope to gain
anything in Missouri they will
need Windy Bill Bryan at the
head of the ticket. Dockery and
Stone see visions of Democrats
crawling out of the brush, like
snakes before a prairie fire, and
Dave Francis has day dreams
during which he discusses WASH
ington affairs with his associates
who r always on the lookout for
special priveledges. It's all a
bluff. 1t won't work. Missouri is

Consumption of Sugar.

What is sugar good for be-

The French sugar manufacturers
are offering for competition a
prize of about $25,000 for a new
application of sugar in the in
dustries other than the food in
dustry. a condition of the
award is that the suggestion
shall have been tried in France,
and, according to official stats
tics, have caused an increase in
the consumption of sugar in
France of at least 100000 tons in
the year. The support of the
syndicate is promised in the
event of a diminution or the
complete abolition of the pres
ent sugar tax being necessary

The Crockett Texas Courier is in
favor of patronizing home print
ing Offices and says: There are
four printing Offices in the county
and their books hardly been
blackened with orders for county
printing during the past three
years. The orders have nearly all
gone to the trust and so has the
money of the people. When the
farmers of Houston county go to
pay their taxes next winter they
should remember this and when
they go to cast their votes before
then they should rememberlit. A
vote for a man who will order his
stationary and blanks from out of
the county when the same can be
had here and the money kept at
home is a direct vote for a man
who favors the trust and an indir-
ect vote for the trusts. Ask all
candidates during the coming
county canvass how they stand on
this question, and If they are at
present holding Office ask them
where they have been buying
their blanks that could have been
printed in Houston county. Put
them on record as either favoring
Independent home institution or
the trust.

The question as to the best amount
of grain to feed COW has been in re-
view at the Vermont experiment sta
ton for four years, and the conclusion
reached, broadly stated, is the more
grain the more milk, total solids and
fat. The gains averaged 10 per cent
when the four pound ration replaced
the two pound feed and about IS per
cent when the eight pound was used in
lieu of the two pound ration. 1t also
appeared that slight lowering of the
quality of the milk if not caused by at
least accompanied the use of a very
low grain ration.
1t seems fair to conclude that in
these trials the restriction of the grain
ration to two pounds was made at the
expense of the animals well being and
of the owners pocketbook.

To clean the COW carefully is as good
for her general physical well being as
for the protection and purity of the
milk. The card or the currycomb thor
oughly but gently applied will remove
all coarse dirt, straw or other matter
clinging to the animal that would
eventually find its way into the pail.
Aside from carefully cleaning the COW
with the card or currycomb, the parts
Immediately surrounding the udder and
the udder itself should be wiped with
a damp cloth. This had best be done
just before the milking begins, as it
will remove most of the dust which
may still remain after carding and
dampen that which is not removed so
that it will not fall into the milk pail

1t is wonderful to note what rapid
strides are being made in the direction
Of artificial incubation With incuba-
tors, says the Western Poultry jour
nal as with other things, there are
great differences in construction; some
doing away with moisture entirely,
others supplying enough to float a
duck, and between them all the novice

machine he may buy let me impress
upon him one thing, and that is that
he should adhere rigidly to the makers
instructions. There is a great tendency
nowadays to try to work a machine by
a combination of various rules, and it

HEAVY LAYING STRAINS.
How They May BE Built Up by Almost
Any Good Fancier.

How They May BE Built Up by Almost
Any Good Fancier.
Rev. f. Z. Daley of Huntsville, O.
wiring to the American Poultry JouA
nal. says:
Few fiocks, as a whole, pay deceLs
profit 1t is estimated that but about
40 per cent in most cases pay an actual
profit. The other 60 per cent barely
pay their expenses or fall far below
This is due to the fact that only few
hens In the flock are layers. The rest
are most of them drones. TO make q
paying strain and a paying business
ret rid of the drones and use as breed
Grs only the hustling hard workers.
You can do this only by some sys-
TEN by which you can ascertain just
which hen lays and just how we'll she
lays Some form of a trap nest system
will be most serviceable unless you
can give your whole attention to watch
ing the hens and keeping record of
each hen, as everything depends on the
record.
Follow up method of selection from
year to year, using only as breeders
the pullets Matched from eggs from the
best layers of the previous year. Use
only males from the highest egg record
hen in the flock, remembering that the
male is one-half of your flock so far as
building up the utility qualities are
concerned. If this system of breeding
is carefully followed a very profitable
laying strain can be built up in very
short time The great record strains
of the country have been built up just
this way, and not because they were
naturally any better than what you
have
AS an example of this system we
want to cite a report of the Maine
agricultural experiment station. In
1898 they began with 40 pullets and
50 trap nests. They began Nov. 1. In
one year from date the record showed
that the 40 birds had averaged 120
eggs. Twenty-four laid over 160 eggs,
twenty-five fewer than 100 eggs. Pull
let No. SO laid POI, No. 101 laid 204,
No. 2S6 laid 206 eggs. In the following
year for special breeding purposes only
females having a record from 16O to
200 eggs We're used, and No. 101 and
No. 2S6 were mated with a finely bred
cockerel, from which mating cockerels
were selected for future breeding.
The result of the year 1899 mating
showed pullets making a record from
208 to 237 eggs. This method was fol
lowed until in the year 1902 a record
was reached of 240 eggs, and in 1908
they made an average of $50 eggs each
for the whole flock tested Thus in five
years an increase of thirty eggs per hen
was reached

Cotton as a Pot Plant.

Another ported curiosity. seemingly
out of place, is the common cotton
plant. According to foreign advices,
this is raised on a small scale in Ger
many as a market plant, meeting with
ready sale at good prices. 1t is sown
early in the spring, potted up and
transplanted from time to time. When
brought outdoors in midsummer it soon
begins to bloom. 1t is, however, in
the fall and throughout the winter that
the plant excites greatest interest.
Then it is a thing of real beauty, with

1t behooves the man who sets out to

is what counts, and there is not much
else that does count, so far as the

ORCHARD PRACTICE.
what Is Best In TiIlage and Cover
Crops, as a Rule.

Crops, as a Rule.
l believe that the best practice that
our present knowledge indicates is to
begin to till the orchard as early as
the ground is fit, to keep it well titled
till the middle of July or LIST of August
and to then seed to clover. OF course
there will be any number of special
cases in which this general rule may be
varied but / believe that it is a safe
rule to follow unless there is some spe-
cial reason for doing otherwise. There
is no doubt that a peach orchard should
be titled every year. Old apple Or
chards may in some cases be benefited
by a year in sod Some good growers
in New York till until about Aug. |,
then seed to clover The next year
this is allowed to grow. but is cut sew
eral times and left on the ground. The
following year it is titled again, etc
No general rule can always be follow
ed, but the tillage during the fore part
of the season followed by cover crop
or by natures cover crop, weeds, is I'M
doubtedly the safe standard to set.
In the case of pears we have the
blight problem entering into the cues
ton, so that we must adapt our prac
tice to meet this enemy. Rank, sappy
growth makes this disease much more
severe. To combat it we should keep
the barnyard manure out of the pear
orchard and should generally avoid the
use of leguminous cover crops. Use
commercial fertilizers till early in the
season and either follow by a nonlegu-
minous cover crop or let the weeds
grow, the point being to avoid the
rank growth that organic nitrogen ia

Remember, everybody interested, that
milk is not of low quality simply be-
sause it averages only a medium butter
tat content or of high quality simply
because it averages high in butter fat
content. Milk of the high fat stripe is
not high quality milk in the way of
food for either man or animals. A COW
in advanced tuberculosis may give
milk that tests to II per cent butter
fat, but even a maniac would hesitate
to call such milk high quality milk.
The latest milk is always of the coars-
est quality, and it sickens calves and
children alike. Milk of the medium or
even of the lowest butter fat content
is generally milk of high quality, be-
cause it is a balanced ration for calves
and infants and for all other consum-
ers In milk of medium butter fat con-
tent the fat is generally proportioned
to and distributed among the other sol
ids in such way as to make it an
ideal food Such milk is of high quality
in every sense of the word. The Hol-
stein-Friesian milk is an example of
what is properly called high quality
milk, although it averages only me-
dunn in fat content-Holstein- Friesian
