 French officer. Louis de Chantflly, tells in Paris Gil Bias of his discovery in Buddhist Convent in the moun- tains of Tonkin, of dusty manuscript containing the Chinese version of the seven ages of man.

 Thirty years sees him developed into a buffalo. He is strong and lusty, full of bodily and mental vigor. This is the true age of love; it is the age for him to marry at.

 When he reaches 50 years. however, although he has grown stout and fieshy he is fit to hold any municipal or State office: he can administer a city or a province or perform any official duty.

Nv I. R. Hornady,

Cincinnati. Ohio. May 11.--(Special) Here in Ohio. where the Taft-For- aker fight Is absorbing the attention of the politicians, there is sneaking impression worming it's way about that MT. Roosevelt is just letting the boys have their little fling and that in due season he will be forced" to step in and calm the troubled waters, even at the sacrifice of himself upon the altar of third term.
 Aside from Taft and Foraker. there is a large and interesting class of pres tdential aspirants, and 1t is thought to be the purpose of the Big Teacher to let each and every one of them display their muscle to their hearts content, and in the meantime to manifest paternal interest in their efforts to lift the nation upon their shoulders. Aside from Taft, who appears to be the Strong Boy of the presidential school, there is Fairbanks. Cannon, Cortelyou. Hughes. and a half dozen others each making more or less noise in his respective community and each, perhaps, unconsciously, carrying out his part in what some politicians term the great I'm It" production that Is being worked out for the qualification of the man in the White House.
 Man With the Teeth.
 With such a forest of presidential IlmDer, II IS not DeueNeO that any man in the race can develop sufficient strength to command the situation when the Republican national conven- tion meets. Then, it Is pointed out, the boys will have had their fling: all will have fallen short of the prize. and there will be nothing left for the Man with the Teeth to do but to save the party and the country by overcoming his prejudice against third term and taking the nomination.
 In addition to the process of elimi- nation" here referred to, it is in the minds of some suspicious person to ac-l cuse MT Roosevelt of using the presi- dential aspirations of his friends to pay of political scores. Some believe that his apparent partiality for Taft has nothing more substantial behind 1t than a deep and abiding desire to see Foraker sent shrieking to the tall timber.
 MT. Roosevelt does not like Foraker and would no doubt be glad to see him elected from the Senate and strip ped of power in his own state. Taft was the most likely man to sick on him when war was declared. Ohio naturally feels considerable pride In her hefty son of the War Department and the suggestion that he was about the right size for the presidential nom ination, tfckled the folks at home very much. It was strong appeal to state

pride. Then Taft has a brother Tn Ohio who moulds public opinion every afternoon except Sundays, at one cent per mould. and he is something of a power. Then there is on-in-law Longworth, who always carries a few votes tucked away above his watch fob. With these influences on his trail. backed by the patronage of a great state. it looked as if Foraker -Hould prove an easy mark-wou1d in fact, soon be available as horrible example to those who would incur presidential disfavor But Foraker is still In the ring fin fact, he controls the ring, and that Is what will make his overthrow a task that will tax to the utmost the generalshp of the Rough Rider.
 Workings of the Machine
 Ohio being a state of considerable size and some importance, it naturally has little internal politics, and the gentlemen who keep their fingers on the triggers at home are not going to lot a mere presidential scrap interfere with the workings of the machine. Foraker and this machine never meet without embracing. and Taft. the War Secretary; nor Taft, the Editor; nor Longworth the Son-in- Jaw nor Roose- evelt the President. can tear them apart
 It Is not generally believed that Foraker entertans any serious idea of succeeding Roosevelt as president but he Is as solemn as a funeral in his intentions to go back to the Senate and to keep his guiding hand on the Ohio political situation--and also tO demonstrate to an anxious and fear some political contingent that 1t Is not necessarily political suicide to incur presidential disfavor
 Nothing in the conduct of Foraker or Taft would indicate at this time that a compromise is possible, but the pre- diction is being made that a comprom- ise will be reached; that it will be made inevitable by the iron-clad grip of Foraker upon the Ohio machine. It is predicted that Foraker will go back to the Senate and that Taft will get the presidential delegates. This, 1t is pointed out, would vindicate For aker and save Taft from humiliation. and at the same time gratify state pride in having a favorite son In the ranks of White House possibilities.
 Pending such a compromise, howev- CT. the fight goes rlerrily on and the Taft forces are just now engaged in trying to build up a new machine that will out-class the one controlled by Foraker This Is significant, as it in dictates a lively appreciation of the fact that Foraker has the old machine tight in his grip. Right here is where state politics creeps in. There is not

His stand on the cantcen question as 1t relates to the army. has aroused the ire of the anti canteen forces, and inasmuch as the antrs are just now laying 1t all over the liquor people in various parts of the country, it Is apprehended that they will make trouble for Ohio's ia vorite son.

Feeding Tanknge.

Tankage has been found to be val
ulable hog feed by number of our sta
tions. The Iowa station, for example,
fed corn and tankage at the rate of 95
parts of the former to five parts of the
latter. The tankage was worth $50 per
ton and contained about AZ per cent of
protein and 16 per cent of fat +; the price
of corn meal was so per ton. The
experiment was conducted for period
of 40 days. The hogs weighed 205
pounds at the end of the experiment.
With the ration containing tankage 100
pounds of gain was produced at cost
of 81 30, while with corn alone 100
pounds Of gain was produced at cost
of 50. 10. These results, therefore, show
a saving OF 1915 cents per month per
hog In favor of tankage when fed in
connection with corn under the condl-
tions mentioned. Besides this, it should
be remembered that the manure also
became more valuable on account Of
the amount Of protein fed.

wonderful, examples of natures preser-

miles from the pole, by the Peary party
IN 1890, having been exposed in this
northern climate for period of six
teen years, their presence there being
the result Of the Greeley expedition in
1888. Packages. of lettuce and radish
seeds were brought to the United
States, and after a further period Of
six years, were planted, and, while the
lettuce seed had lost its vitality, fully
one-half of the radish seed terminated
and grew to maturity and perfection.

Fam Alfnlfa seedinr.

The Pennsylvania Experiment Sta
tion has gained much experience in fall
and spring seeding of alfalfa, and says
that the principal objection to spring
sowing is that weeds come up and
choke out the young plants before they
get good start. The fall seeded al
falfa on dry land was able to with
stand the severe winter climate per-
fectly-ln fact, better than the COM
mon red clover. Under average condi-
tions, from 20 to 80 pounds of seed
should be sown to the acre. Manure
gave better results on Pennsylvania
soil than did commercial fertilizer.
Lime did not give satisfactory results.
In some instances it gave no appre-
ciable results, and in others 1t was de-
cidedly harmful, but in no case it ap.
piled to advantage. Deep, well-drained
soils are the best for growing alfalfa.

A Doubtful Practice.

The custom of putting the fertilizer
in the ground some time before the cot
ton is planted is questionable, to say
the least, for should there come heavy
rains before the cotton begins to grow,
undoubtedly much of the fertilizer Is
leached away beyond the reach of the
roots Of the plant, says a Florida bulle-
tin. 1t would unquestionably be better
to distribute at least part of the fer
ti!izer alongside Of the rows after the
cotton is up. This could be done as
rart of the cultivation, thus increas-
ing the expense but slightly, and would
place the fertilizer within reach Of
the plant roots at a time when it is
needed.
