WORKING ON
THE PLATFORM
Republican Leaders Fore
gather at Washington to
Discuss Document

Washington, D. c., May 27.-At
least tentative draft of the Re
publican national platform was in
Washington. Already arrangements
are making for conferences on the
subject. The likelihood is that the
conferences will be held here next
week and that by the time the dele
gates to the convention turn their
faces toward Chicago, a declaration
of principles will have been whipped
into shape and tucked away in the
inside pocket of a prospective men,
Der of the committee on resolutions.
Participating in the platform con-
ferences will be Secretary Taft, the
leading Republicans in both branches
of congress and others who probably
will take a conspicuous part in the
convention and subsequent cam
paign.
al, Arthur I. Vorhies of Ohio, man
ager of Secretary Taft's preliminary
3 campaign, is in Washington today
comforting with Mr.. Taft. It can be
said that he did not come to the
capitol primarily to discuss the plat
form with the secretary, but on bust
ness of different character. 1t is
expected that Wade Hellis, attorney
general Of Ohio, who is one Of the
delegates at large from that state,
will have part In the preparation
of the platform, He drew the tariff
revision plank of the platform adopt
ed by the Republicans of Ohio at
their state convention and it is an
;ticipated that a somewhat similar
declaration respecting the tariff will
be adopted at Chicago, especially if
the forces of Taft control

Do you notice that is mostly gun
makers and gun fighters who are
dead sure that we are going to have
war with Japan? The gun makers
say that Japan is buying guns and
torpedo boats while the gun fighters
say that we havn't enough OF either;
ergo, the Japs must fight while they
have a chance to win That sounds
PLAUSIBLE but the trouble with these
gun people is they don't understand.
that the powers are arming so
heavily merely to preserve peace
Isn't your Uncle Sam putting up as
much money as any one to prevent
a combat? Why, sure, he is. And
that's why we are building big navy
because it's cheaper to be prepared
than to fight. And it's the same
3 way in running business as in
running a nation. 1t is better to be
prepared than to invite trouble, and
Z the best way to avoid trouble is to
be prepared. We are counting on
a big killing at our store this season
but we won't have to fight for it be-
cause we are too well prepared.

Death to Cabbage Worms.

Cabbages are subject to the attacks
of several insects, but especially OF the
green cabbage worm and the cabbage
aphis, for which various spraying mix
lures are found to be highly eficaciOus
However, for the man who likes to make
his sauerkraut himself or to grow few
cabbages for his table, there is simple
remedy for these insects which involves
very little trouble and which is always
at hand, and here is the story of its dis
covery.
A carpenter living in town in New
York was very proud of his little back
lot garden. In it he set several rows OF
fine cabbages one year. These grew
well for time, until he was summoned
away from home for few days. Upon
his return he went out to the garden
and there beheld a sorry sight. The
cabbages which had been his especial
pride were honeycombed and contained
hundreds of cabbage worms. he dash
ed into the house to tell his wife what
had happened during his absence, and
beheld two steamipg kettles upon the
stove. Grabbing one in each hand he
returned to the garden and poured boil.
ing water over each cabbage. Thus his
rage was satisfied and the worms were
punished. The cabbages appeared to
be pretty thoroughly cooked. But to
his great surprise in the course of 9
week they began to head up, and he had
the best cabbages he had ever had.
Briefly, the secret is to pour about 8
cupful of boiling water into the cab.
bage just after the inner leaves have
begun to curve inward to form the head
The leaves thus cooked dry into hard
exterior, shutting out the worms from
the inside, and continue to grow into a
firm, solid head.-Leslie F. PAUL, Colo

The Young Horse.

The young horse, like the boy, must
have training for good habits II he is to
be of good service in the future. A
horseman, Mr.. Charles Mcintyre, talk
ing on the subject of training young
horses, says that halter must be used
when first handling them that they can't
break, as it is hard ever afterward to
cure them of it. The proper time to be-
gin halter breaking is when the foal is a
few days old, and only good strong
halter should be used. If the youugster
succeeds in breaking the halter even a
time or two when first battered, the
habit will be formed and may last life
time. The breaking of halters and
brides soon becomes expensive. The
halter breaking horse can never be left
while hitched to a rig, and when not
hitched to rig, the owner never knows
where he is to find the animal. By
using strong halter, one that can not
be broken, no horse need ever form this
very disagreeable habit.
The second thing which the young
horse should never know is that there is
load in the world which he can not
pull Bakers are made, not born, and
overlooking at first is almost sure to
make baker of horse. This habit,
like breaking, is hard to remedy ;
and every one owning a balky horse
knows the disadvantages connected with
it. Too much care can not be taken to
never overload young horse. Never
load at first heavier than the horse with
which the youngster is hitched can pull,
and this horse should always be re-
liable puller. Young horses, | think,
should be broken double before being
hi.ched singly. After horse is thor
oughly broken double there is seldom
any trouble to break him to drive sim
gly. All young horses should be broken
to drive single, as this is market re-
quirement.
To let the young horse know what is
wanted of him is absolutely necessary.
When this is once known the yOungster
will usually fulfill the requirements.
After the young horse is thorougly
halter broken the harness should be put
upon him and he be driven around four
or six times a day for two or three days
before being hitched, with good, level
headed, fast walking horse, one that can
start quickly and go fast if necessary

Clean Fountains.

Just as the source of many diseases
belonging to the human race lies in the
drinking water so is it true with fowls.
The water trough is the fountain Of any
disease that gets hold in the poultry
yards. The diseases are communicated
more easily through this than in any
other way, and especially If the water Is
allowed to become stagnant. If one Is
uncertain whether or not 1t is necessary
to thoroughly clean the water fountains
every night let him put his nose close to
the opening and draw long breath.
He will at once thoroughly cleanse the
fountain. Clean the troughs or water
vessels every night after the fowls have
gone to rOost and the job will be OfI
your hands when the morning work Is
pressing. 1t is an easy job If one will
90 about 1t properly. Have small tub
full OF I've water and wash the vessels in
this, rinse them thoroughly in clear
water and let them stand empty upside
down for the night. Fowls never need
water in the night and the fountains
will often freeze if neglected In winter,
II it IL; not handy to have small tub OF
bucket full of water k,ep the lye water
in glass jars and use it;over and over fol

Incidents That Greatly 6urprisso y

On. his first visit to the United

that no one ever failed to pay.
To demonstrate his contention that
"most people are honest in this coun-

his visitor that day TO restaurant
where both were unknown, and when
they had finished their luncheon the
host went TO the cashiers desk with
his check and said he had no money
with him, but would pay the next
day.
The cashier gave the couple hasty

| This is the season of the year wher
lice bother the most. A word or two
about our method of dealing with thi:
pest may be of interest. We maintain
herd of about two hundred and fifty
Berkshires, divided into lots of from
thirty to seventy. five, kept on differen
farms. In the past we have been bother
ed great deal with lice, and to prevent
them or kill them after they once made
their appearance has been no small
proposition.
We have tried the coal tar dip, kero
sene emulsion, machine oil and many
other remedies, but We have one in use
in our herds now which gives us much
better results than anything we have
yet tried. We buy crude processed oil
by the barrel, costing about II cents
gallon. Wallows are maintained for the
hogs in each herd-not pools Of stagnant
water, but places where the hogs Can
wallow at will in water which is kept
fresh and clean as possible. Into this
we always put bit of lime, then draw
If pail of the oil and pour over the
surface of the water, upon which it
forms a coating. The hogs do not dis.
like the oil, and will frequently wallow
in warm weather good deal. When
they emerge from the voluntary bath a
little of this oil is deposited on the ami
NAL where il will do the most good.
This treatment kills the nits as well as
the lice, something we have never been
able to accomplish with any other RENE
dy.
We have used this few times this
season, and have recently looked over
the herd for signs of lice in vain.
The best scheme for pool that We
know of is to make a box of strong
plank, and sink it in the ground near a
water supply. Make the box about a
foot and half deep and large enough to
accommodate two or three large hogs
put it where the overflow will run of
and not form a pool to become stagnant.
Fill this occasionally with water, put in
a pail of lime and put on the oil. The
hogs will do the rest and the lice will
disappear. The corners OF the box
should be reinforced with pieces of iron
barrel hoops or something else, so they
will not spring apart.
Kerosene is dangerous to be used on
pregnant SowS, because il will cause
abortion, and it will frequently severely
blister the skin of the younger animals.
The coal tar dips do not kill the nits.
The use of crude oil in the manner de-
scribed has been altogether the cheapest
and most effective remedy we have tried.

Arab Horses,

Concerning the Arab horses which
are brought every year for sale to Bonn
bay, a recent writer remarks that there
was a time when rope marks on the
heels were an infallble Indication of q
evy-bred one. General Tweedle
whose work on the Arab is classical
was the man who made this discovery
and he impaired the useful hint to bis
friends. The Arab dealers, however
soon found out that horses with heel
rope marks were more in request thar
horses without them, and forthwith
heel-rope marks, which are very easy t,
produce. appeared on all and sundry
hence no dependence can now be placed
on these indications of breeding former
ly so reliable. No mares are allowed t
leave Arabia for the Bombay market
but one Of the great dealers brings
every year few mares to the order o
certain native princes who have thei
own Arab studs in India.

II Is estimated that two-thirds OF the

it Is fortunate that their natural enc

The workers are preyed upon by true

the adult winged insects that are espe-

Control of Water Power.

If the public does not see to it that
the control of water power is kept In
the hands of the public, we are certain
in the near future to find ourselves in
the grip of those who will be able to
control, with a monopoly absolutely
without parallel in the past, the daily life
of our people. Let US suppose a man in
a western town, in a region without
coal, rising on a cold morning, few
years hence, when invention and enter
prise have brought to pass the things
which we can already foresee as coming
in the application Of electricity. He
turns on the electric light made from
water power; his breakfast is cooked on
an electric stove heated by the power OF
the streams; his morning newspaper is
printed on a press moved by electricity
from the streams; he goes to his office in
trolley car moved by electricity from
the same source. The desk upon which
he writes his letters, the merchandise
which he sells, the crops which he
raises, will have been brought to him or
will be taken to market from him in a
freight car moved by electricity. His
wife will run her sewing machine or
her churn, and factories will turn their
shafts and wheels. by the same power.
In every activity of his life that man and
his family and his neighbors will have to
pay toll to those who have been able to
mOnopolize the great motive power of
electricity made from water power, if
that monopoly is allowed to become
established. Never before in the his
tory of this or any other free country
has there existed the possibility of such
intimate daily friction between a
monopoly and the life of the average
citizen.
II has not yet occurred to many Of
our people that this great power should
be conserved for the use of the public.
We have regarded it as thing to be
given away to any man who would take
it. We have carried over our point of
view derived from the early conditions
when it was God-seHd to have man
come into the country to develop power
and we were willing to give him any
thing to induce him to come. We have
carried over that point of view into
time when the dread of monopoly of
this kind ought to be in the mind of
the average man everywhere.-Gifford
Pinchot.
