BRYANMAY ACCEPT
The Nebraskan, However, States he
Will Make no Fight for the
Nomination.
MAKES HIS POSITION KNOWN
Meme Should Favor His Candidacy
Unless Willing to Open the
Books of Campaign Re-
ceipts ano Expenses.

Lincoln, Neb., Nov. 1G.--William j.
Bryan will accept the democratic
nomination for president in 1908, but
he will neither ask nor make fight
for it, He says that for a year or
more he has been pressed to answer
the question, will you accept nomi-
nation?" and he believes the public
is entitled to an answer and to know
the position he occupies. The ques-
ticn that ought to weigh most, he
says, Is whether his nomination will
strengthen the democratic party
more than the nomination of some
one else. Not only will he NJ, seek
or ask for the nomination, but he
will not assume to decide the ques-
ton of availability and If the prize
falls to another, he will neither be
disappointed nor disgruntled. At the
same time, he denies that he has
waited this long IN a desire to see
whom the republicans are likely to
nominate or to ascertain the chances
of victory.
Mr.. Bryan says:
Now that the election of 1907 is
past and plans are being made for
next years campaign, Mr.. Bryan
feels that a statement is due to the
public. Those who prefer another
candidate are entitled to know his
position, and those who favor his
nomination have right to demand
an answer to the question so often
put, will you accept nomination?
His refusal to answer the question
has led to the circulation Of many
false reports, and unfriendly news
papers have taken advantage Of his
silence to misrepresent his attitude.
Mr.. Bryan will rot as for or
assume to decide the question Of his
availability. The only question that
ought to weigh with the party Is
whether the party can be strength
ened and aided more by his nomina-
ton than by the nomination of some
one else. If he can serve the party
by being its candidate, he will ac-
cept the commission and MAKE the
best fight he can.
None should favor Mr.. Bryan's
nomination unless the party is will
ing to open its books and show
where it's contributions come from
and for what the money is expended.
The republic; 7 party ought to be
challenged to conduct its campaign
in this open and honest way and If
the repul lican leaders refuse to &C.
cept the .allenge, the democrats can
we'll afford to leave the issue with
the public An appeal to conscience
Is the most potent force with which
man deals. The national conscience
has already been aroused.

The following colloquy Is said to
have actually occurred during one of
the earlier battles in the Philippines:
A detachment of American infantry.
under orders to support section or
Capt. Reilly's battery, were halted for
quite a while on a perfectly fiat mill
tary road in full view and fine range
of the Filipino trenches. OF course, to
lie fat ON the road was the only avail
able use of cover"
In this detachment was an lrishman
who had served his time with the col
ors in the British army before he en-
listed with Uncle Sam. AS recruit
he had been very prone to tell how the
British soldiers did everything. AS
result he was necessarily piled with
questions as to his experiences. While
the bullets were 'plopping" down the
road and kicking up the gravel,
young Yankee suddenly asked:
Say, Mike, what do the British sol
diers do with their heads in a place
like this?"
Quick as a flash came the retort:
"A British soldier has no head.

Don't Lay BY Too Early.

At this season Of the Year, when
farmers have worked for . long time
without any vacation, 1t II but naturel
for them to want to get through with
their crops, and many Of them get 1,
too much hurry to lay them by. Il
always pays to work crops reasonably
late. but it ID more important this
year than usual on account Of the
late cold spring, which made the
crops slow in starting and behind In
their growth even as late az this. We
know SOME of the best farmers who
try to give their cotton one blowing
in August every year. A few limbs
here and there nay get broken, but 1t
pays to plow It late. You want your
cotton to grow late. and many . time
1t stops growing because the pillow

or three plowings should be very shall.
low. Our rule is to give all cotton a
blowing AZ late as the last week IN

SOUTHERN
AGRICULTURE
SAVE THE HAY CROP.
Hay Is One of the Most Important
Crops Produced on the Farm.

Live stock husbandry is dependent
Oh the annual hay crop for its pros
per;ty. There is annually produced
upward of sixty million tons off hay,
valued around s575.00O,O 900, making it
the third most valuable agricultural
product of h~usbandry, says Drovers'
Journal.
1t is now the business Of the farmer
to secure the crop in the best cOndi-
ton possible. Good equipment to care
for the harvest is essential. All the
implements used in haying operations
should be in elegant condition before
commencing to. make a harvest. Now.
ers. rakes, tedders. hay leaders. horse
forks and hay carriers should be thor
oughly inspected and all needed re-
operations. To men haying with
tools in good condition is to insure
UNINTERRUPTED and satisfactory prog
ress.
Farmers who have large quantities
of hay to harvest often begin too
early to cut the grass, for II they wa.s
until the grass is at the most nutritive
stage of it's growth it will make the
bulk of the crop too ripe and woody
before the harvest ends Most farmers
wait too long before commencing to
gather the crop, leaving the hay too
fibrous and indigestible to yield he
greatest percentage of nutriment. For
dairy cows in particular overripe hay
makes a poor milk ration
The accepted time to harvest any
agricultural crop is when it contains
the greatest percentage Of nOurish-
ment. The total digestible nutrients
in any product measure its CONNER
cial value as an element Of food. The
proper period to cut the tame grasses
is when they are in bloom. WheE
grasses pass the bloom stage Of de.
velOpment the s%ucculent qualities Oi
the hay are lost by being transformed
into indigestible woody fiber which
contains but little nourishment
Glover harvested when the early
bloom begins to turn brown contains
around thirteen pounds of protein W.
ton, but if left until Q later stage the
protein Is reduced to fOur pounds per
ton, making one ton OF early harvested
clover contain three times the prDteIn
in the late cured crop. This largely
represents the digestibility' and nutri.
tive value of hay harvested at the
proper stage of growth. and grass cut
when it is overripe.
The difference in the quality o: by
harvested at the most nutrtive stage
and overripe hay is reflected in the
condition of stock that Is maintained
on it. One farmer gives his stock al
the hay it will consume. and we; his
animals are unthrifty. while animals
fed on hay made at the proper season
of development are sleek in coa..
growthy and thirty in appearances.
II the farmer waits until the dew
is off the grass before starting the
mower, and uses a tedder. under fav-
orable weather conditions the hay
can be put under in the after.

bleached by dews and sun, and the
curing process should be FASTENED ~
