If President Roosevelt shall
hold to his expressed purpose Of
not again being a candidate
for the Presidency and his
opponents should succeed in de-
yeloping sufficient strength TO
prevent the nomination of his ad-
hered preference in the race tor
the Republican nomination next
year, there may deyelope a free
for.an race that may knock out
all the sure republican state
candidates and cause the coun.
ties 10 look to a doubtful state Tor
their candidate. In that case
where is there q more available
man than Senator Vim. Warner
OF Missouri. There are more
federal soldiers in Missouri than
any other state save probably
four and these TO q man would be
for Comrade Warner, Tor the old
boys swear by him. He is the
only one Of the old veterans in
line for such a promotion and is
the last man Of them that can
attain the presidency and coming
from a doubtful state would add
strength to the ticket, bring Mis-
souri, into line again and establish
her among the sure Republican
states. The rally TO his standard
in the race would be almost I'M
animous among the old soldiers
and he would be swept into the
White House in a food tide OF
enthusiasm equal to that which
rolled over the county when
Roosevelt was elected by such an
overwhelming majority in 1904,

On Sunday morning, May 10Th,
ut the appointed hour, the old
soldiers of the civil war rallied
around their country's flag at
the corner OF Park Avenue and
sth, and marched in a body TO
the Catholic church to hear the
annual memorial sermon preach
ed by Rev. FIR. Murphy. About
forty Of the old veterans were
present with a congregation that
filed the house to overlooking.
The services began with the usu-
al chanting and ceremonies Of
the mother church for such oc-
casions, and then the Rev. Fa-
Their delivered a most eloquent,
thoughtful and forceful sermon
that was intensely interesting to
all his hearers.
After paying a tribute to the
sacred dead, he called attention
to the origin of u people, that
we are all emigrants from some
other country or the descendants
of such, hence ignoble race dis
tinction should have no place
with us; that ours was the great
est nation, made so by the result
of the civil wal which was a
blessing in disguise and must
needs have come, which wiped
out the last vestige of slavery
and made ours a nation of free
men; that ours is a government
OF liberty, law and religion; that
there can be no liberty without
law, no law without religion, and
no religion without reverence for
God and authority; that the
great burden of our law makers
of to -day is not what we shall be
permitted to do but what shall
we be prevented from doing.
Freedom to do as one pleases is
not liberty, but license. Liberty
is freedom limited by law, and
law is based upon our ideas OF
God and morality. Hence we
should teach our children to love
liberty, obey the law and worship
God.
The speaker suggested the
dangers of great prosperity and
the sudden accumulation OF
wealth by the state and the indi.
yidual, and the corresponding
poverty of the common people
and the evils Of the day. That
these could not be remedied un-
der the red flag of anarchy, the
unreasoning fury of revolution,
nor the willfulness of strikes,
but by the quiet power of the
voiceless ballot. The ballot box

Remarkable Industrial Data.

The cottonseed oil industry is scat
tered all over the South, but its gem
eral centre Is Memphis. For a CEN
tury after cotton became the king of
textile staples, the cottonseed was
despised as a worthless vexation.
Then its utilization was begun. In
1880 nearly $4,0OO,000 worth of cot
tonseed oil and by-products was pro-
duced. Last year the best estimates
placed the amount at $S0,00O,000. or
twenty times more than the product
of 1880.
Pittsburg makes enough steel rails
each day to build over eleven miles of
railroad track. One of the unique
features Of the smoky city is its won-
derful marine commerce. 1t is at the
head of navigation on the Ohio River,
and ships 100000 tons of freight
by water each year, although boats
can only be handled during the high
water stage. II 1t had a nine-foot
stage all the year round, there is no
telling to what dimensions its marine
commerce would reach.

Poultry Notes.

A poultry house without grit box
and dust bath is incomplete.
A bone cutter costs money, but it
helps to make more money from the
flock.
Too much cannot be said for the
dust bath in winter. All too often
this Is overlooked, to the detriment
of the flock.
1t is not a good plan to force the
breeders for laying; 1t is apt to cause
infertility in eggs. Let them come
along to laying naturally.
Improvement in the flock is made
only by applying good business judg-
ment in selecting and mating the
breeders and feeding SO as to insure
health and vigor.
Air Stacked lime sifted or scattered
over the dropping boards will assist
the cleaning process materially, and
also take up much of the dampness
from the droppings.
Breeding stock can be bought now
at much lower price than will be

plan to buy few fowls to start with
rather than to buy eggs.
Save the small potatoes and other
vegetables that would otherwise go to
waste and feed them to the fowls.
This will help in keeping up the egg
yield in cold weather.
The winter is a good time to put
in studying up better methods OF
mating, feeding and caring for the
flock. No one has succeeded in reach
ing perfection; there is always room
to improve.
The best way to protect poultry
at night in very cold weather is to
have curtains arranged to drop
around them during very cold wealth
er. This prevents the escape of heat
to great extent and still leaves free
access to pure air.
A frequent cause of male birds get
ting their wattles frozen comes from
first getting them wet in the drink
ing water. The drinking fountains
that give only room To get the beak
into the water are to be preferred for
this reason.--Commercial Poultry.

ImmoraIIty.-,John II. 25. 2e.


Passages for reference: John Ia. 2,
8; Rom. s. 10, II; 2 Cor. 5. 1.
The continued existence of the
soul is plainly taught In the Bible, es-
pecially In the New Testament. When
Jesus stood beside the grave of his
friesSd Lazarus he uttered truth that
has taken the keen edge from many
sorrow, as he declared himself "the
resurrection and the life" Paul says
In the letter to the Romans, ''If we
suffer with him, we shall also reign
with him in glory" Again with posi-.
tive assurance he declares to the
Corinthians. IF our earthly house of
this tabernacle were dissolved, we
have a building of God, an house not
made with hands. eternal IN the heav-
ems" Unmistakable is the hope of the
Christian from Jesus's words, 81 go
to prepare place for you. And If
go and prepare place for you. l will
come again, and receive you unto my
self, that where | am there ye may
be also.
A little searching into the philoso-
phies and religions of other and older
nations, together with observation OF
their customs and monuments, will re-
veal the fact that Immortality is an
accepted fact In most nations. The
Hindus hold to it, as is evidenced in
their prayers. The Chinese accept it,
as is clear from their ancestor wor-
ship. The colossal pyramids are a
standing testimony to Egypt's belief
in not only the immortality of the
soul, but of the body as well. Greek
and Roman mythology is full of it,
while Socrates and Plato among the
Greeks and Cicero among the Romans
expound the doctrine in their philo-
sophies.
The teaching of Gods Word Is that
the life beyond is continuance of
the life here. The identity of the in
dividual remains, and death has no
effect on the character, but introduces
the soul previously in a probationary
state into'a fixed condition which can
only grow in the saAe direction to all
eternity. Gle that is unjust, let him
be unjust still and he which is
filthy, let him be filthy still; and he
that is righteous, let him be righteous
STILL and he that is holy, let him be
holy still The invisible line that can
be crossed here at choice, there be-
comes u "great gulf fixed" The char
acter we determine for our temporal
life we also fix for our immortal eX-
istence. This thought makes this life
douslyimportant. | am de-
termining for myself what my future
will be.

Reclaiming Marsh Lands.

1t is stated that II the United
States should reclaim marsh lands
as 1t is the arid lands in the West by
irrigation, there would be immense
acreage added to the lands for culti-

have a reclaimable area sufficient to
support a population of 10000, 900.

The Cow Paws Cash.


The following, from the Live Stock
Inspector, certainly speaks we'll OF
the COW; but no better than this
faithful animal deserves:
"Dairying Is cash business.
"The COW pays for her board every
day II she is the right kind, and in
this connection the wise dairyman is
particular to note whether the COWS
do pay for their board or not, as he
Is not anxious to run q charitable in
stitution.
milk, butter and cheese are al
ways cash products, and the dairy
man is not Obliged to wait six months
or longer for returns from his efforts.
Consequently, he runs no bills of any
kind.
"He sells for cash and buys for
cash and gets the benefits of all dis
counts.
"He always has money, and many
dairymen pay their hired men every
Saturday night, the same as manu-
facturers do.
"Dairying is not good business,
however, for the man who likes to be
away from home part of the time and
who entrusts the management of his
business in part to others.
"Dairying by proxy seldom proves
satisfactory or remunerative, and
men with many irons in the fire had
better cut out dairying; they will do
far better in some other line of live
stock farming that does not require
the constant watchfulness and per-
sonal supervision demanded by the
COW and her produce.
Then, too, the by-product from
the dairy has more value than that
from other industries of the farm,
and especially when butter is the
only commodity sold and the skim
milk and buttermilk are fed on the
farm.
There is no feeding value or fer
tility in butter worth considering;
it is all in the skimmilk, and this
when rightly used brings good re-
turns in many ways.
"There is no business of the farm
that pays as well as dairying when
right methods are in vogue in every
detail of the business, and when the
proprietor is wide-awake and anxious
to improve and take advantage of
every condition that promises i'm
provement in cows, feed and feeding,
care of animals, and marketing the
products.
IF dairyman is to know what
each COW is producing, he must either
churn the cream separately or test
1t, and the test is far the easier and
much more accurate, and what farm
er can afford to keep COWS and not
know what each one is producing?
'If he does not know their value
for the dairy, from what shall he
raise calves? Shall he guess at it?
Then the poorest cow will per-
haps have an equal chance to live and
eat up the profit made by a good cow
and also perpetuate her kind"

Fixing Up a Horse For Sale.

One of the most interesting and
novel schemes that are resorted to
when 1t comes to "doctoring" up a
horse for sale is 'peroxiding." Horses
just suitable for carriage work, save
that they do not quite match in color,
are now chemically colored to the
tint desired in the twinkling of an
eye. A "peroxided" horse shows
what has been done to him soon after
his new owner takes him away and
frequently he has to be touched
up" This bleaching does not injure
the horse any more than 1t does the
average girl; but the chemically
tinted coat seldom looks well when
closely examined, the dark roots of
the hair showing on careful inspec-
ton. Yet it deceives the average
buyer and so answers the purpose

APPLES PROPAGATE MOTHS.
Germans Give Warning Against Keep
ing the Fruit in Dwellings.

Germany has found peril in ap-
pies. They are the principal medium
for the propagation and spread OF
the destructive house moth (Glycy-
phagus domesticus) according to OBJ
seryations recently made.
The discovery was the result of
plague of moths at Cries and the viii
lagos surrounding it. The larvae
were traced to the stores OF apples
kept in the houses and thence to the
trees themselves.
The larvae are found first of all
In the apple blossoms. AS the fruit
grows they cluster In the conical de-
preston about the stem of the ap-
pie.
When the fruit is taken into the
house 1t is laden with the eggs. The
propagation of the eggs is said to be
prodigious.
When the fruit is taken into the
house the eggs find their way into
clothing, hangings, carpets and up
holstered furniture and the insect is
Matched out, with the we'll known
ruinous results. The eggs are also
said to be the cause OF the white
mottling that is SO often noticed on
dried fruits.
AS result of the discoveries 1t is
urged that apples never be taken In
to dwellings without careful cleans
ing, and even then they should never
be kept in living rooms, and the peel
ings should be promptly removed -

Make the Poultry Pay.

Most of the profit is in the early
hatched chickens, and 1t is time now
to get the breeding pens ready and
begin to save eggs as soon as things
are in shape for the spring season.
Some hesitate about using eggs more
than week old, but 1t is the expert
ence of others that those set even
four or five weeks after laying will
match all right; but 1t is best not to
mix old eggs with fresh ones in
setting because the older eggs hatch
first.
To insure fertile eggs in winter
the birds should have a good variety
OF food, including some green stuff,
apples or boiled potatoes, and consid-
cradle meat.
Meat is the main thing for making
eggs in winter. The reason some
farmers think it does not pay to feed
meat is because they do not give
; enough of 1t, or because they have
some substitute like milk, which
makes meat unnecessary. If there
is no milk, the meat should constitute
from one-sixth to one-eighth of the
soft food. In fact. it will do no harm
to leave dry meat scraps where the
birds can help themselves at any
time, Meat scraps cost more than
grain, but they make more eggs. The
breeding flocks need air and exercise
In cold weather. and there should be
q scratching shed open to the south,
the door raised enough to be dry, and
covered with litter in which the grain
should be fed.

Sheen Worms.

An effectual treatment for worms
in sheep, which is recommended by
the Ohio Experiment Station, is to
put a gallon of fiaxseed in a cheese
cloth sack and place it in a kettle
with two gallons of water and
let 1t steep for two hours. Remove
the bag and let it drain thoroughly
into the kettle. When the fiaxseed
tea Is about as warm as freshly drawn
milk, put four ounces into bottle
and add a common tablespoonful of
gasoline for each sheep OF sixty to
eighty pounds weight Shake well
for minute or two, then turn into
the drenching bottle and give to the
sheep. Have the sheep set up on its
rump and held between the. knees,
taking care not to throw the head
farther back than the line OF the
back. The sheep should be soused
every evening and not fed before
10 o'clock, when the dose may be
given. Allow them to remain three
hours longer without food or drink
then let them feed until evening. Re-
peat this treatment for three days
and in weeks time give three days
more treatment and again repeat at
the end of ten days more, always CIV
Ing the medicine after about sixteen
hours fasting and fasting about three
three hours after giving it. The
fiaxseed tea need not be made fresh
each time, but should be warmed
every time, as the gasoline mixes
better with it and passes down from
the mouth and throat to stomach.
