RooseveIt's Letter.

Inc presidents letJef IoloWS:
1.-THE White House, Washington,
Nov. II, 1907.-My Dear Mr.. Cortel-
you: have considered your PROPOSE
ton. / approve the issue of the So
000,0 900 of Panama bonds, which will
be Immediately available as the basis
for currency. | also approve the issue
of $780, 900, 900, or SO much as you
may find necessary, of $50 3-per-cent
interest-bearing government certif-
Gates, the proceeds of the sale of
which may be deposited by you where
the greatest need is, especially in the
West and South. I have assurance
that the congress is considering a cur
rency bill which will meet in a per-
manent fashion the needs of the coun-
try, and which l believe will be passed
at an early date after congress con-
venes two weeks hence.
What is most needed just at pres
ent is that our citizens should realize
how fundamentally sound business
conditions in this country are, and
how absurd it is to permit themselves
to get into a panic and create a strin.
gency by boarding their savings, in
stead of trusting perfectly sound
banks.
There is no particle of risk In.
volved in letting business take it's nat
ural course, and the people can help
themselves and the country most by
putting back into active circulation
the money they are boarding. The
banks and trust companies are solv-
ent. There is more currency in the
country Today than there was a month
ago, when the supply was ample.
Fifty-five million dollars in gold has
been imported and the government
has deposited another $50, 900, 900.
These are facts; they appeal to the
public to cooperate with us in restor.
ing normal business conditions.
Proper Effort, Result Guaranteed.
"The government will see that the
people do not suffer, if only the people
themselves will act in a normal way.
Crops are good and business condi-
tons are sound, and we should put
the money we have into circulation at
n C to meet the needs of our abound
ing prosperity. There is no analogy
at all with the way things were in
1898. On November 80 of that year
there was in the treasury but $61, 000,-
900 in gold. On November Ia Of this
year there was in the treasury $904,-
100000 of gold. Ten years ago the
circulation per capita was $23.23; it
is now 1929. The steps that you
now take, the ability Of the govern.
ment to back them up, and the fact
that not a particle of risk is involved
therein, give the fullest guarantee of
the sound condition of u people and
the sound condition of our treasury.
"All that our people have to do now
Is to go ahead with their normal bus
mess in a normal fashion and the
whole difficulty disappears; and this
end will be achieved at once If each
man will act as he normally does act,
and as the real conditions Of the
country's business fully warrant his
now acting. Sincerely yours,
THEODORE ROOSEVELT.

SAVE FEED BY SHELTER.
Plan Now to Improve the Hog Houses
for Next Winter.

A farmer, writing on the question
of sheltering hogs, says: Much OF
the loss in hog feeding in extremely
cold weather can be avoided by Sc.
curing proper shelter. Corn must be
very cheap, indeed, if it is not dear.

coal is used in the stove for main.
tanning the temperature OF the home.
The warmer the house, providing ven
tilation and other health requisites
are secured, the less fuel is required.
The same rule applies in the hog
pen. Heat may be purchased at too
great an expense in health in the
home as well as in the pen. The
permanency of prices requires that
marketing Of hogs should be kept up
over the entire year. The market
necessitates feeding, and while it is
true that the greatest gains can be
made at the seasons above mentioned,
and while it is also true that 1t is
usually more convenient to feed
large number in the fall of the year,
for obvious reasons, yet the farmer
should be prepared to feed off hogs
at any time, and at the weights which
the market requires.

DUAL PURPOSE CATTLE.
Such Breed OF Cattle Not Appro yed
by Successful Dairymen.

The raising of dual purpose animals
has many advocates among farmers,
though dairymen do not approve OF
such breeds. An exchange says:
"One cannot proftably grow both
beef and dairy animals out OF one
breed. The conception held so gen.
orally by farmers that an animal
should serve for two purposes, name
ly, milk and meat production, they be-
lleve, is much to blame for the low
production now prevailing through
out the country. Take, for example,
the state of Iowa, where farm condi-
tions encourage a general system of
farming.
The farmer is strongly tempted to
breed for the combination of both
milk and meat production in his
stock. While this combination does
exist TO a slight extent in some
breeds and strongly in some individ.
uals, it is still in very primitive
state and not at all to be relied upon.
The attempt is also made by a great
number of farmers to so cross their
animals as to combine those two
qualities. While crossing in some
cases might prove beneficial in a
great majority Of cases it does not,
and this practice is on the whole
detrimental to the best conditions for
profit from the animals.
"a grade or cross-bred animal
never can be sold on the open market
hill t. II N
tion to find on farm where dairying
is in progress, beef bred sire at the
head of a herd, but we have only to
look about us and see this on every
hand. These men are expecting good
results from both ends. While 1t per-
haps is not supposed that men in
| patronizing creameries or in darying
will change their stock to animals
especially bred it is expected that
they make some effort toward improv-
ing this quality, and it might be as
well to recommend in many cases that
the farmer cease attempting the pro.
duction of dairy products from his
herd and devote his attention more
exclusively to the meat production
side. In truth, l believe a great many
farmers will find themselves better
off by so doing, for there is no deny
ing the fact that many men are mol
naturally constituted for conducting
profitable dairy.
For our part we do not see much
pleasure in milking COWS that give
little or no profit, but on the othel
hand 1t is a pleasure to keep good
stock that return good records. We
cannot all be in the dairy business
neither can we all grow fat stock FOL
the market, but we can improve IL
either and profit by so doing"

then making good growth, are put
out according to the age of the top.
The different grades of apple trees
made by some nurseymen are shown
in the cut. They are to 8 feet, ga
feet, AS feet, Sc feet, CT feet and 7S
feet. All trees are headed at the same
height, but some make a much strong
er growth than others. There are
fewer grades of other varieties Of
trees, but at least three are made of
each. Which is the best to plant is
mooted question. Some successful
planters prefer the heaviest trees,
while others equally as successful
take medium or lighter grades. Really
more depends on the way the trees
have been grown than upon their
size.

MATCH UP THE HORSES.
Never Put the Slow Walker with the
Quick-Gaited Animal.

Matching farm teams properly Is
more difficult than matching driving
teams. A slow-walking horse should
never be put with a fast-walking one,
for you will have to constantly urge
the slow one, and this soon irritates
the other one. Match gaits, match
temperaments, and match horse pow
er These are the three essentials
to keep in mind when matching up
the team for heavy farm work Never
put a young horse to very heavy,
steady work, such as plowing, along
side an old, staid horse. The young
ster is apt to do more than his share,
in spite of all you can do to equalize
the work.
When breaking colt, writes cor
respondent of Pacific Farmer, / have
always found it best to put it along
side a steady, even-tempered horse
that is not easily "rattled" Such a
mate will soon give confidence to the
colt, and he readily falls into work
without much trouble. A cores
spondent says: "Give the colt some
light farm work at first, such as plow,
ing or narrowing" That's risky. !
would never hitch a colt to harrow.
You never know what they are going
to do, and a harrow is q mean thing
to get horse mixed up in. / would
rather give the colts the light driving,
and as they become seasoned give
them some heavier work. Match up
the colts as soon as possible, and
when the teams are matched up, don't
change them around, unless for some
very good reason. Horses have to
learn how to pull and work together.

AS THE BOY UNDERSTOOD.
Probably to His Mind Conflict Of Au.
thority Was Vital.

In one Of the Atlanta Sunday schools
recently the lesson for the day had to
dc with Mammon and the corrupting
influences of great riches.
Toward the close of the exercises,
says Harper's Magazine, the superin-
tendent called upon the infant class
to repeat the golden text. which had
special reference to mans inability to
serve his Creator and the money god
at one and the same time. The class
failed to respond as it should, when
the superintendent, noticing his own
young hopeful in the ranks, who had
that very morning been drilled thor
oughly on the text, called to him. The
response was immediate, though a
slight departure from the original, for
in voice that was distinctly heard in
all parts of the room there came the
following modifica,lon:
"Ye cannot serve God and mammal"

FARM STOCK.

The good qualities of horse do not
all come from the sire.
The brood SOW needs a feed differ
ing from that given the hogs being fat
tened.
Hogs will eat more clover hay than
most people suppose if they can have
access to it at ali times.
When the expense of raising horse
is incurred the more It brings in mar
ketthe greater will be the profit.
Keep colts growing in a good, thrifty
condition on feeds that are rich in
bone and muscle-making material
Blue grass pasture in summer and
clover hay in winter should constitute
a part of the ration of the brood SOW.
Injudicious training will develop and
even impart vices and faults to the
horse which do not naturally belong to
it's disposition
The future horse depends a great
deal upon the treatment the young
things receive the first summer of their
existence.
Never breed to horse that will not
work or is unmanageable for insub-
ordination is as easily transmitted as
any other fault.
The manner in which the calf is
handled at birth, exerts vital influ-
ence upon its after life. No matter
for what the calf is intended, whether
for veal or dairy, its early care plays
an important part in its ultimate
value.

inch hole in the side about three
inches from the bottom and the rig is

For Barbsd Wire Cuts.

The following is said to have been
proved an excellent treatment for
barbed wire cuts: Wash the cut thor
oughly with CASTLE soap, using tepid
water After washing it spray the
wound with weak solution of carbo,ic
acid and then dust over it all the fresh
air slaked-lime that will adhere. This
treatment should be given every day.
No wrapping or covering is needed.
The same treatment would doubtless
be good in cases where horses get
their pasterns burned or cut with a
rope.

Keep tomato vines off the ground;
use stakes, brush, or trellis.
A properly -branched fruit tree is
likely to produce more fruit than a
poorly-shaped one.
Pear trees that are too we'll fed
grow too quickly. make a loose wood
and are easily attacked by blight.
Stir your soil as soon as possible
after every rain. This will check
evaporation and conserve moisture.
Never set bush lima beans closer
than two feet apart in the rows. See
that the climbing limas have poles to
run on.
Planting plum trees in blocks of
one variety is poor way to insure
fruitage, as plums require cross fer
tilization.
Keep asparagus beds clean. Use
the shoots freely until peas are plenti-
full, then stop cutting and allow the
tops to grow.
The apple tree that has its head
close to the ground is partly protected
from the high winds that shake the
fruit from high-headed trees.
The early lettuce bed is an excel
lent place to sow turnips for early
fall table use. Remove the tough
lettuce stubs, spade the ground SO
that the surface layer is turned un-
der about two inches and sow the
seed.

A PECULIAR ALLIANCE.
That Made by the Doctors and tho
w. c. T. y.

For the purpose of fighting patent"
medicines the doctors, as represent.
ed by the American Medical Associa-
ton, have made an alliance with the
". c. T. U. who have been deceived
into believing that the alcohol in pat
ent" medicines is menace. In this
alliance the good ladies of the w. c.
I. U. are apparently put in the posi-
ton OF dragging chestnuts out of the
fire for their allies. There is no class
so firmly convinced of the necessity
for alcohol in medication as the doc
tors who, with few exceptions, not
only prescribe it freely but use it, as
indeed they must whether they would
prefer to or not, as a solvent and pre-
servative. On the other hand the
w. c. T. U. contends that the whole
medical and pharmaceutical world is
in error; that alcohol is not only use
less but that it is dangerous and
harmful in any quantity in any medi-
cinal preparation. While their princi-
doctors and the w. G. T. U. ladies
have cheerfully allied themselves in a
war on patent" medicines, and the
w. G. T. U. is placed in an even more
ridiculous position by reason of the
fact that the doctors do not confine
their fight to those medicines which
contain alcohol, but lump all patent"
medicines in one class. And this, too,
despite the fact that, according to fig
ures printed in the Journal of the
American Medical Association, about
70 per cent of physicians prescrip-
tions are for patent or proprietary
medicines.
The inability of many physicians
to prescribe any but ready-to-use rem
edies is frequently commented upon
by the medical press, and by physi-
clans of the better class when assem-
bled in conventions. That three
fourths of the physicians graduated
each year in the United States are in.
competent and a peril to the COM
munities in which they practice was
charged openly at the annual meeting
of the Committee on Medical Educa-
tion of the American Medical Asso-
citation, held in Chicago in April of
this year. The total number of grad
yates annually was placed at 1000
which means that at least 5000 in
competents are turned loose annually.
1t was stated at this meeting that an
average of So per cent of the gradu-
ates from medical colleges failed to
pass state examinations. These fail
ures either go back to school. or go
to some state where the. requirements
are not so high.
That many doctors are so ignorant
in matters pertaining to pharmacy
that they know nothing about the
properties of the drugs they prescribe,
was stated by DR.. M. Clayton Thrush,
a professor in the Medico-Chirurgical
College at Philadelphia in an address
before the Annual Convention of the
American Medical Association at, At
lantic City in June of this year.
DR.. Henry Beats, Jr., President of
the Board of Medical Examination
for the State of Pennsylvania, in an
interview in the daily papers said:
About one quarter Of the papers
show a degree of illiteracy that rend-
ers the candidates for licensure in
capable of understanding medicine"
He criticizes the colleges for award
ing degrees in these cases.

Insect Pests Increasing.

Year by year the damage done to
the crops of the farm, orchard and
garden by insects and fungous pests
seems to be increasing. Some of these
pests may be blessing in disguise, In
that the remedies used for their erad-
ication have been beneficial in other
respects; but. in order that they may
be successfully combatted. it is essen.
tial that the farmer know how to
fight them to the best advantage. and
that he have clear idea of the ma
ture OF the remedies employed and the
precautions that must be observed In
their use.-Prof. r. Harcourt.
