The Kentucky Senatorial Fight.
July Governor j. C. w. Beckham
Of Kentucky opened his campaign for
the United States senate in Sweet
Owen" county. 1t is said that when
General John G. Breckenridge was
making his great fight for congress
against Governor Bob Letcher he re-
caived every vote cast in the county
and was elected by narrow margin.
So grateful was he for the loyalty Of
Owen that having a son born to him
shortly after he named him Owen
County Breckinridge-a most unusual
performance. Owen is still Democratic
by 1850 majority, and If the ambitious
young governor was seeking Demo

ter place. He has played In great luck
from the beginning Of his career. but
he Is pitted against Senator James
Bennett McCreery, the most skillful

Probable Leaders.

Nobody can ever complain that July
I, 1905, was not duly celebrated.
President Roosevelt, at Oyster Bay,
and William Jennings Bryan. in Lon
don, to say nothing Of smaller states
men, delivered speeches worthy Of the
occasion. Each of those illustrious pa
triots appears to have greatly pleased
his audience, and their speeches were
read by millions with eageness. There
Is a growing belief among the masses.
without regard to political affiliations,
that these two will be the opposing
candidates for the presidency in 1908.
Consequently every word they utter Is
closely scanned by all who take even
q passing interest In public affairs.
Judging from current comment heard
on the trains, in hotels, by the wayside
lin fact, everywhere the only thing
that will prevent President Roosevelt
from being renominated will be his
positive and absolute refusal to accept,
and everything now points toward
Bryan as the Democratic standard bear
or. OF course any one Of score Of
things may intervene to change the
situation radically. am giving 1t as
the people now see It
The sad news come to US that the
multitudinous creditors Of odoriferous
Santo Domingo, both American and
foreign, are becoming exceedingly anx-
ious to clamp their itching palms on to
the santo Domingo moneys now in q
New York bank, placed there for safe
keeping and ultimate distribution by
President Roosevelt's agents, who are
running his end Of the modus vivendi
which he entered into with the bandit
president, Carlos Morales, now fugi-
tive from his country for his country's
good. In the case Of getting at these
moneys hope deferred maketh the heart
nick.
An unusually large number Of rep
resentatives in congress who were GER
tain Of denomination and reelection vol
unfairly go out of public life March 4,
1907, to improve their condition. The
cost Of living in Washington eats up
their incomes, their business at home
goes to smash and they are weary Of

GRAIN FOR COWS ON GRASS
In Opinion of Prof. Thomas Shaw 1T
Pays to Use the Grain Ra-
ton la Summer.

Several experiments have been con
ing grain thus. The conclusions
reached were, that the grain fed when
grass was plentiful and while it was
yet succulent. did NOT bring any prof,
1t over and above the cost of the
grain. In some instances. as when
grain was fcd in large quantities, il
was said that the increase in milk
and butter fat did not pay for the cost
OF the grain. The conclusion has gone
extensively abroad, therefore, that II
does not pay to feed COWS grain or
neal on grass, when the supply of the
grass Is abundant.
| am not prepared to accept such
a view, Prof. Shaw goes on to de
clare in presenting his views in the
Orange Judd Farmer. 1t seems to me
7 is conclusion reached without con
iidering every phase OF the question,
IL the increased return in milk or but
ter fat pays for the cost of the grain,
and no more, my contention is, that
in the end such feeding is attended
with profit.
II the grain is thus paid for. one
item OF profit Is found in the pasture
'aved, II Is only reasonable to, sup
pose that for every pound of dry mat.
ter consumed in the grain, an equal
amount of dry matter will remain UNI
| consumed In the pasture. This would
mean that the carrying power of n
pasture Is increased to the extent of
the saving effected by feeding grain.
second item of profit will prob
ably be found in what Is termed the
residual effect of the grain feeding
This has been well brought out by
Prof. Roberts, of Cornell. Six cows
were selected that had been given a
liberal allowance OF grain on pasture
the previous season, and six were al
so selected that had been grazed In
the same field but without grain. Al
were put upon pasture without grain
| The lot grained the preceding summer
produced 16 per cent. more milk thar
| the other lot. The heifers in this lot
| in milk, also. made a better develop
ment than the hefers in the other
This result Is in accord with the view
OF many practical men on this ques'
ton
third item OF profit would arise
from the fertilizer obtained from the
grain. Where wheat, bran and cot
tonseed meal were fed, the advantage
would be considerable from this
source. Putting these three items to-
isfactory profit. even when the In
crease in milk production and butter
fat did not more than pay the cost Of
the grain.

Yoemen Purchase Lot and VIII Build.
Des Mones. The Brotherhood OF
American Woman has concluded the
purchase OF the Collins property on
the northeast corner of Fifth and
Park streets as site for their new
building. The organization contem-
plates erecting building which will
cost from 100000 to $125,000. The
organization expects to proceed with
It's plans for new building as rap.
idly as possible and will probably be-
gin work on II yet this year. The type
of building has not been fully deter
mined except that It will be adapted
to lodge and club purposes and Will
be in the nature OF club house. The
main offices and the business OF the
| lodge will be conducted from this
| building, The present building occu-
pied by the Woman is owned by the
Rawson estate and was built four
years ago, 1t was built for lodge pur-
| poses, however and has been utilized
eXclrslvely by that organization with
the exception of the lodge hall which
has been used by other organizations
to some extent. The purchase OF the
property on Fifth and Park is taken
as an indication that Fifth street will
be opened through from Grand to
Chestnut. +. M. Hubbell, owning most
OF the property which 1t Is contem-
plated TO open, has also notified the
management OF the baseball park that
II must vacate at the expiration OF Its

Des Moines a Creamery Center.

cry concerns now doing business
here the dairy interests of this vicin-
ity, particularly southern Iowa. from
which much OF the milk is obtained,
are attaining large proportions.
Within a few years 1t is believed Des
Moines will be one or the most i'm.
portant milk and butter centers in
the west.
The estimate was made yesterday
by manager of one OF the big com.
panies here that no less than 1000
cans OF cream are now received daily
In Des Moines. Counting 300 cans
TO the car, an average of seven cars
day are brought into the city by
the transportation companies. The
average can OF cream weighs eighty
pounds, of which about 25 per cent Is
butter fat and is used In tho manu-
facture OF the best creamery butter
All of this cream, manufactured into
the best creamery butter. produces
about seven car loads of butter, which
~ nhlppNu W Sao'NIh hhuiNNNS oh'
for export each week.
The market at this time Is paying
IS cents per pound for butter fat
A can Of cream weighing eighty
pounds usually contains on an aver
age twenty pounds OF butter fai
making It worth at the present mar
ket price $3.50. One firm alone Is
paying out every day for cream $35OC
It being their system TO send out
checks every night for the milk re-
ceived during the day. II is thus
estimated that as much as $1,000
per day Is being paid out by the
creameries of Des Moines to the
| farmers of this section for milk.
The science OF butter making
makes it necessary to employ man,
expert men at big salaries. A lab
oratory IL maintained where tests o.
the cream and the butter are MADE
One mDn is employed, whose duty II
Is to taste each can OF cream as II
comes In thus grading 1t. He tests
on an average of 700 cans per day
He receives big wages.

Wine Off the Sweat.

When a working team comes from
work covered with sweat and dust,
they should not be left for the night
covered with such coat. They
should be rubbed over with handful
of straw or bedding as soon as the
harness has been removed. This will
add to the health as well as to the
comfort of the animals. 1t also saves
them the next morning when the
horses are cleaned with the curry
comb and brush. However, there Is
nothing that will so clean and invig.
crate the skin of a horse as letting
them out in a gentle rain.
