The latest thing in the line OF au-
tomobile organizations is reported from
Vienna, where some physicians, con-
vinced of the superiority of motor cars
over horses in getting about from pa
tent to patient, have organized a kind
of cooperative automobile club. 1t Is
proposed first to persuade the home
manufacturers to build car specially
for doctors work. Then. upon
of moderate sum down, fol-
lowed by monthly instalments, the club
will assist the doctors to become au-
tomobile owners. The monthly pay
1nents will be less than the present cost
of hiring a carriage by the month, as
most doctors do in Vienna. The CLUB
will have it's own central garage, and
branch garages will be opened in var
ions districts Of the city as the de-
,nand increases. The promoters of the
association hope to increase the num-
her of motoring medical men from the

Your editorial 1.-THE Motto and the
Fact" in last Saturdays T.-R, was
timely, quite proper and according to
facts" except the last sentence. The
assertion that, when trouble and
adversely come all men and
women rely on Him is much
too broad when measured by
facts" When trouble and adversely

seeks, thoroughly, first, for earthly as
sistance. Failing in these efforts no
sometimes suicides-putting his trust
in Him" as last resort. When fin
ancial troubles embarrass and stern

lawyer. When physical troubles
worry and disease and distress
rack our bodies with pain,
we send for the doctor and his
earthly remedies When these l'ail
some few of US, as last resort, send for
the preacher. The Christian Scientist
might here be classed as an exception
to the general rule, perhaps. He says

he fail and his children die Of some
malignant disease we Immediately
prosecute him in the courts for ne
elect in not availing himself of dopes

Again men and women in unnrlm-
bered thousands do not rely on that
mythical personality known as him"
with a capital H, because they have
no knowledge Of Him, whatever; in
fact never heard of Him or his claimed

What Causes Runaways.

what CauSeS hunaWayS.
If we ever stop to analyze carefully
the cause of the large number of rum
away horses that occur in years
time we would probably be surprised
to find out how often the owner him
self is to blame. We usually think OF
a runaway as being caused by out
side causes. The following is sum-
mary of the causes of runaways as
outlined in circular issued by one of
the life insurance companies:
Trying to make the old harness
last a little longer leads to one out
of every four runaways. In other
words, two hundred and fifty mis-
haps out of one thousand are caused
by the breaking or coming apart of
the rigging. 1t has been often said
that few persons who drive know
when horse is properly harnessed,
and fewer still give due attention to
the soundness and correct adjust
ment Of the tackle This statement
is borne out by the records, which
show that sixty-two runaways out of
1000 are caused by traces becoming
detached, ninety-seven by broken
reins. sixty-fve by broken or badly
adjusted breeching, twenty-six by
broken bits or brides and ten by
broken girths. In rare instances
there are hidden defects in harnesses
which cannot be detected, but it is
safe to say that careful examination

Tho Hog on Short Rations.

1t is the common mistake of many
feeders to put their growing shoats
on short rations whenever the corn
begins to get low in the crib We
have made this mistake more than
once. but promise to never let it hap
pen again. If you have more hogs
than corn better sell off enough to
balance up: 1t never pays to put young
and growing shoats on just enough
feed to keep life in them. We have a
neighbor right now that has sixty five
head of hogs on hand that are now 1
year old. They are not at this time
as heavy as they were last spring.
and has been what he calls "roughing
them thru" Every pound of corn
that he has fed them this summer has
been worse than thrown away. We
made about the same mistake some
three years ago, but we had good pas
ture for the hogs, and while they did
not gain much in weight they kept in
a thrifty condition. For all that we
would have lost money on the bunch
of ninety If there had not been sud-
den and unexpected rise in price of al
most 81 per 100. This was following
the very wet year Of 1904, and we also
had corn at 80 cents to feed them out
on in the fall of 1905. Now hogs are
on the down-grade and corn is so
cents. If we are ever caught In this
fix again we will dispose of our hogs
or else buy plenty of grain for them.
One Of the best feeders in this country
said to us the other day: "Most
folks make a. hip mistake when thew
see corn is going to be short. They
cut down on the feed right away, when
the thing they should do would be to
give all the stock can eat and dispose
Of them as quick as possible" Hogs
nursed along on short rations are near
ly always kept at a loss. You will

a TRANSPARENT ARTlFICE.

Replying to a defence Of President
Roosevelt by the Cedar Rapids Gazette,
the Burlington Hawkeye conceding
that the president is not to blame for
"the attempt of the copper crowd to
corner copper" says:
Not in the least. And the failure Of
the attempt of the copper crowd to
corner the market would have had not
the slightest effect on the financial
conditions of the country had not the
public mind been in a state of sus-
picfon and timidity aroused by the at
tacks made upon corporations and
wealth during the past months. Pub
lie confidence is the basis of a coun
try's financial stability. The very
strongest bank cannot of itself with
stand the assault of fear and panic.
The recent furry in Wall street could
not have touched the country at large
had not the public mind been sur
charged with suspicion of the integrity
and trustworthiness Of the great many
interests that form the basis of the
country's financial and industrial
structure.
The Hawkeye is correct in one
thing, the public mind has grown sus-
pcious Of some of the interests of
which the Hawkeye is by stress OF
ownership and the inclination of af-
f1iliation a special champion 1t is
wrong, however, in assuming that this
suspicion is the result of attacks
upon corporations and wealth. 1t is
mendacious when it insinuates that
wealth has been attacked or corpora
lions vilif1ed. But there is suspicion
directed toward certain quarters, not
suspicion alone but conviction.
What the Hawkeye is flashing the
president for is his firm stand as
against trusts and predatory wealth
Against these only have attacks been
made and from these have come con-
viction of guilty men and companies In
courts and in the public mind. Roose-
welt has ferreted out, punished and ex-
posed so much Of fraud and SO many
men and interests engaged in exploit
ing the public for their own profit,
that the public is ready to take rea-
sonable precaution to protect itself.

worn out and defective vehicles
cause almost as many accidents as
imperfect harness. showing incident
ally the wisdom of buying a carriage
of reliable make in the first instance,
and then keeping it in good repair.
To wheels running off the axles,
eighty-two runaWays out Of 1000 are
due. Such mishaps will seldom hap
pen If due care is given to seeing that
the nuts are tight, since the turning Of
the wheels tends to keep the nuts on
and not to screw them off, Broken
ankles caused six accidents; broken
king-bolts twelve: broken shafts
twenty-one; and broken whiffletrees,
thirty-four; all the breaks together
thus falling short Of the number Of
carelessly attached wheels.
"Of the objects which brighten
horses, automobiles easily hold first
place. These and the motorcycles
are indirectly responsible for about as
many runaways as all other objects
together. and it may be added that
it is the reckless operation Of the
motor vehicles rather than the
vehicles themselves which frightens
most of the horses. Automobiles caus-
ed 1870 runaways out of 1,000 and
motor cycles caused forty-eight more.

About siIo..


At this time of the year. and es-
pecially during season like the pres
ent when all kinds of feed are ex-
tremely high, the owner Of silo feels
like congratulating himself, and his
neighbor who has been provided with
less foresight will vow not to pass an
other year without one. Not only
does the silage give succulent and
nourishing food the year round, but
it enables the farmer to secure the
maximum amount Of profit from his
corn field. We know of no part of
the dairy farm equipment which yields
| more profit upon the original cost than
the silo and it is rapidly coming to
be considered an indispensable part
OF the equipment of every dairy farm.
A contemporary writer sums up the
advantages to be gained from feeding
silage in the following manner:
First, silage enables COW to pro-
duce milk economically.
Second, the silo increases the given
number of stock which can be kept
upon the average farm from certain
number of acres Of land.
Third, it improves tho physical con-
dition of all kinds Of stock, this being
especially true during the winter
months.
Fourth, it prevents waste Of corn
stalks.
Fifth, silage is much more easily
handled than dry fodder, besides be-
ing more palatable.
Sixth, there are no aggravating corn
stalks in the manure where silage is
fed.
Seventh, the silo will make palatable
food that would otherwise be rejected.
Eighth, 1t enables the farmers to
preserve a certain amount Of green
forage regardless Of unfavorable
weather conditions at the time when
the forage is put up.
