Watterson heard Bryan's speech
utterly repudiates his government
ownership-of-railroa doctrine,
but shouts for Bryan as loudly as
ever as the next nominee of the party.
That's the way presidents are made
and battles are won; and it is Just
that spirit of unquestioning party
loyalty. which refuses to split into
factions over differences of opinion
on party doctrine that has enabled
the Republican party to control this
country almost continuously since
the Civil War. Let us learn from
our enemies.
Live Oak daily Democrat. (Live Oak, Fla.) 190?-190?, 1906-09-05

We have no prophetic ken beyond
the rest of the laity, but we don't
hesitate to predict that the next ma
tional Democratic platform will be
without a plank endorsing the gov
eminent ownership of railroads, and
we predict with equal confidence that
Mr.. Bryan will stand on that plat
form as the nominee for president
1t is not necessary that all of a
nominees private opinions as to
governmental expedients some time
in the indefinite future should be in
corporated in the party platform.

COTTON ACREAGE.

The New Estimnte of the Depart

The United States department Of ag-

sued the following statement, ad
dressed to the secretary Of agriculture:
The crop estimating board Of the de-
partment of agriculture has considered
the report issued by the bureau Of sta
tistics OH June relative to the acre
age planted in cotton in the southern
states In 1905 as compared with that
planted in 1904 and has concluded:
First.-That new estimate should
be made ON acreage planted and that
the figures in Mr.. Hydes hands when
making his estimate should be used as
the basis.
S. Holmes, Jr., at his elbow prompting
him. made the estimate Of reduction In
acreage planted lower than the facts
at his hand from the reports from the
seven classes of reporters employed by
the bureau warranted.
Third.-The board finds, upon careful
consideration Of the reports Of all
classes of correspondents and agents,
that the acreage planted In cotton this
year. including the entire season.
should have been estimated at S5.1 per
cent Of that planted last year. equiva-
lent to a reduction in planted acreage
as compared with last year of 149 per
cent Qnstead Of ia per cent?, or

Many Things the Alert Poultryman
VIII Look After.
Joseph Wallace once wrote that Au-

Of realization in the poultry yard. His
dressed to fanciers.
1t Is different however, with poultry
men Tn the market business. They
have the surplus runs and yards to
plow up and SOW to rye and clover
and are busy culling stock and market
ing them as broilers.
The growing stock are nearly ready
for more permanent quarters, and
some provision must be made for them.
This in many cases will necessitate
disposing Of the less desirable old
birds. Extra houses, too, will have to
be built If it is intended to keep more
birds over the winter than were kept
last year
The Noting Season.
The moltlng season is practically at
hand. This month the young hens will
begin shedding their feathers, and the
egg crop will be growing less.
Noting Is n trying period, and IL
there Is any weakness in the stock 1t
will show Itself then. If the fowls are
In good health there will be no danger.
Those which mott later in the season
are apt to suffer more or less. The
older the hen the later the molt This
Is strong argument against keeping
old hens. AS they are so late In mott
Ing, they fail to become productive at
the time when the prices for table
eggs are at their best.
An occasional feed of sunnower seed
and linseed meal added to the morn
ing mash will be very beneficial for
the early molting birds, and 1t Is adj
visable to make these additions to the
bill of fare at once
Timely Hints.
1t Is good plan to fatten and kill
the surplus old stock and send them

as much money now es they will next

The ducks will quit laying this

The prices for ducklings continue to
be good, and 1t Is advisable to ship

Selecting Tobacco Seed.

First.-Suve the best plants In the
field for seed plants. During the cult
vation of the crop and the suckering
and topping processes constant
search for good plants should be made
by growers.
Second. When good plants are OBJ
served they should be plainly marked
by Il tag or rag tied to the plant, SO
that they may be easily found and to
prevent them from being accidentally
topped.

selected seed plants before the first
flowers open. Inspect the bags every
few days for the first two weeks and
raise them up farther on the growing
stems, arranging them so rs to prevent
any injury from crowding in the bag
during this period of growth.
Fourth.--At the end of the season
when the seed pods are ripe cut off the
plants near the ground without remov-
ing the bags and hang them up in q
dry place. The bags serve to catch the
seed which may fall out of the capsules
in drying.
Fifth.--Aftcr the seed has thorough

\ SIMPLE QUESTION.
Pendleton People Are Requested to
Honestly Answer This.

Is not the word of a representative
citizen of Pendfeton more convincing
than the doubtful utterances of peo-
pie living everywhere else in the
union? Read this:
w. A. Rose, living on Cottonwood
street. Pendleton, Ore, says: "Doan's
Kidney Pills were first brought to my
notice some four years ago when l
was living in Peoria, Ill. At that time
1 was suffering severely from an at
tack of kidney complaint and could
scarcely do a days work To stoop
or rise after stopping hurt so acutely
that l could hardly keep from crying
out. When a man has suffered with
a back which felt half the time as
though 1t was broken, which would
not stand the slightest pressure, when
he could not sit down, stand or lie
with any comfort and still has to go
to his daily work he naturally becomes
anxious about his condition. l pro-
cured Doans Kidney Pills, used them
and they cured me. About year ago
l came to Washington, and shortly
afterwards noticed symptoms of my
old trouble. l procured Doan's Kid
ney Pills at the Pendleton Drug COM
pany's store and three boxes COM
pletely banished the trouble, leaving
no signs that l had ever had touch
of-kidney trouble in my life. Doan's

for them. You are welcome to refer
to me at any time and | will gladly
