TO GAG BOTH PARTIES.
Interests" Would Down Bryan and
Make Issue Safe for Them.

Colonel George Harvey, editor OF
Harper's Weekly, has added himself
to the list of those charged with the
politico-hnancial conspiracy to throt-
tie the Roosevelt policies and bring
about a reactionary movement in
tended to throw the government into
the hands of the interests" The
Washington administration now is
convinced that the conspiracy ex-
tends beyond the limits of the Repub-
lican party, having for its object the
control of both national conventions
next year and the sidetracking of all
candidates for the presidency except
such as wear the Wall street collar
of conservatism.
Reaction knows no sentiments
bound by no love of party tradition
any more than by regard for persons
who are held to be inimical to the
power of corporate wealth wherever
they may be found. Such is the
warning that it is sought to convey
to the country.
The vitriolic attack made upon
President Roosevelt by Colonel Har-
vey last Saturday night at the JEFF
ferson Day banquet of the national
Democratic Club at New York is de-
clared by President Roosevelts
friends to show that the alleged con-
spIracy against the Presidents poli>
cies is nonpartisan in character
There is general, well organized
plot, it is asserted, to sweep aside
all radicals, who, in the lexicon of the
reactionaries, embrace all progress
ives and reformers in politics and
make conservatism" the catchwcrd
in the next campaign.
Great things are doing in politics
these days, and neither party has a
monopoly of brain storms and gener,
al turbulence Within the Republican
party the recent agitation has involv-
ed the fight of the conservatives to
overthrow the progressives on the
one hand, and on the other the effort
of President Roosevelt and leaders of
his type to dominate the party ma.

In Democratic circles it has been
taken pretty well for granted that
Bryan would control the organization

To Report Kankakee Survey.

The geographical section of the

Kankakee valley for the purpose OF
gaining information and also the ir-

complete reclamation of all the lands
tributary to the Kankakee river, have

A survey for the improved chan
mel was made last summer which
contemplates the cutting of bends
and deeping of the channel so that it
will make sufficient out let for the
complete drainage OF the Kankakee
lands. This report will be made and
considered April 16 at meeting to
be held in Wheat6eld, Ind, called by
the Kankakee drainage committee for
the consideration and discussion OF
these plans which will at that time
be presented.

Bees and San lose Scale.

The San Jose scale destroys vines
and trees, therefore, the San Jose
scale must be destroyed or. else we
shall have no fruit. But it appears
that the liquid used for spraying
trees to kill the scale also kills honey
bees, which consume large quantities
of water and will obtain it from any
source. At least this is story that
comes from southern Pennsylvania
wher great havoc is said to have been
wrought among the bees, to the in
dignation of their owners. Agricul-
tural SCIENTISTS should give their at
tention to the production of spraying
fluid that will be death to scales, but
that bees may fatten on.

The Whisky Rules.

1t is a long time since whisky has
been whisky in the United States
Most of it has been either mixture
of whisky and ethyl alcohol or else
straight ethyl alcohol, favored and
colored. without any whisky in it at
all.
There are good many people who
think the pure whisky is as bad TO
drink as the ethyl alcohol, and don't
care how they are combined, SO long
as the smallest possible amount of
either is sold There are few peo-
pie who think the ethyl alcohol is
just as good to drink as the whisky
but they are the men who are making
a profit on of the imitation known as
blends"
Despite such oppositions of opin-
ion, the Presidents order requiring
the WHISTLES, the blends, the adulter-
ated WHISTLES and the limitations to
be given distinct varieties of labels
is an excellent thing for the country,
because it marks triumph for literal
and exact honesty in the enforce
ment of the pure food law, despite
the pressure of the strongest inter-
ests that have yet been active to
weaken its benefits. The whiskev
adulterator had thought that the
law was so framed that they could
be permitted to continue to sell imi-
tation whisky under the name of
blended whisky. but they have now
found out their mistake Record

GROWING DRAFT HORSES.
rhe Second Years Growth Is of Vital
Importance.

A draft horse breeder and grower
from colt-hood gives some of his "
experience in draft horse manage
ment, and especially developing them
from colts. In his recent address at a
Kansas breeders association he said:
With careful feed and attention the
first winter the smaller breeds OF
horses, like the trotters, will usually
attain to a proper degree of develop
ment, without a great deal of extra
attention thereafter. But l have
found that it paid well to push the de-
velopment of my draft colts during
the second year. 1t has been my
practice to feed the horse colts, and
sometimes the tillies, a light ration
Of grain or pasture during the second
summer. One who has eve tried ii
will be amazed at the remarkable de.
velopment a draft colt will show in
one summer with a very small grain
ration OF good pasture. l suppose
oats would be recommended for this
purpose by the authorities on feed
ing, but l have had very satisfactory
results with corn alone. Grass seems
to provide all the elements necessary
to balance the small corn ration. The
expense of such a grain ration is
small. l have found that a quart
each of shelled corr and oats, OF a
quart and one-half of shelled corn
gave very satisfactory results. This
is about 60 cents per month expense
for grain. 1 am sure l have re-
ceived as large returns from an equal
amount of expense, as this grain ra-
ton fed on pasture will give in the
growth and development of a draft
colt during it's second summer.
After that a moderate grain ration,
and reasonable care, during the sec.
ond winter, practically completes the
development of a draft colt. The
foundation has been laid for that per-
feet development of form, that makes
an attractive horse. He will be more
easily kept on good roughness with a
very light ration of grain thereafter
than any other stock on the farm,
After they are two past, my horses
cost me less to winter then than my
cattle, and do better on ordinary pas
ture in summer.
The second years feed and care is
perhaps not so important with the
lighter breeds of horses, as it is with
the draft breeds, where bone and
weight are prime requisites on the
market. The important thing is tc
secure the nice development of bone
and conformation during the earlier
and more rapidly growing period OF
the colts life.
The colt or yearling may become
unthrifty with the best of feed anC
care unless they are kept free from
lice. A tablespoonful per colt-ot
sulphur mixed with their Nfeed-ant
fed alternately once every other da.
will quickly rid the colts of lice.

Feed More Oats.

There is nothing like oats to give
snap to a horse. For this reason oats
are almost the exclusive grain diet
of driving horses. 1t is wellknown
that oats possess some property that
excites as well as nourishes animals,
says Indiana Farmer. The pillow horse
can be fed cor with some advantage,
but the driving horses, the colts, and
the brood mares should be given
more whole oats and less corn. Don't
be stingy when feeding oats to calves
or colts. Some claim that crushed
oats are better to feed thar the
whole. They may be for hogs or
dairy cows when oats are made only
a part Of the ration, but for horses,
colts and calves, feed them without
crushing, and feed good oats. In
The absence Of oats barley makes a
dne feed for colts or pigs.
