fully over the seed and pick out only
the largest specimens to be placed in

corn and similar seeds which are made

of corn. however, the small kernels are

Leg Weakness.
Leg weakness is due to chicks be
coming heavy rapidly, so that thu
weight Of their body is too much fol
their legs. This is not always an alarm
ing condition, for it denotes that thu
chicks are growing fast. and II careful
ly guarded and fed properly they vii
pull through all right. The caus'
arises from heavy feeding and forcing
which carries the chicks forward 81
RAPIDLY as to cause the legs to fail
Change the food to a light diet of veg
etables and feed bone meal in the food
They should also be well protecte'
against the dampness, and the Difficult

Is nearly always due to rapid growth o

Incendiary.

Dickson Springs, Tenn, July Is
This town was thrown into state
Of intense excitement by two incen-
diary fires, one of which occurred
Monday night and the other yester-
day at noon.
The first FIRE was the burning OF
the large warehouse owned by Z. T.
Gregory and several carloads OF
buggies and farming implements,
entaillng a loss of So, 500, Mr.. Greg
DRY carried s., 400 insurance in the
Continental This fire was uudoubt-
eddy of incendiary origin as evidence
of the use of coal oil was found
about the building by those who
first discovered the fire.
Yesterday at noon the large frame
schoolhouse in another part of town
was found to be on fire and soon it
was IN total ruins. The loss on the
schoolhouse was $500. The build
ing was also used as lodge room
for the Knights of Pythias, Odd
Fellows and Royal Arcanium and
each of these orders lose all of their
paraphernalia.
An effort is being made to raise a
for the incendiary, and if he
is caught there is little doubt but he
will meet summary justice.

Gun Was Loaded, That's All.

State Journal: Mrs. Partington once de-
clared that "a gun Is dangerous without lock,
stock or BARREL" and the same charge may lie
brought against a revolver, as the victim Of q
policeman's promptitude 10 Portland could tes-
tify II he were alive to give evidence. The
officer was friend OF the slain man, and the
latter thought ne would play joke on him,
part of which was the pointing Of pipe, and
an order to the policeman to throw up his
hands. Instead he drew his revolver and killed
the joker The cases OF the belief that every
one goes armed are becoming SO numerous that
the least observant can see our laws against
the carrying Of concealed weapons are made
mocKery OF and that they ought to be wiped
from the statute books 1t would be fine
thing to repeal them and substitute In their
stead an absolute prohibition OF the sale OF
firearms except under conditions that would
furnish q reasonable safeguard against misuse.
Until that Is done the bloody murder record Of
the United States will continue to grow worse
and worse. 1t is time TO cut 1t down.

Conviction OF St0essel.

Herald: The conviction Of General StOes-

following the proceedings. sentence OF death
was imposed, but II was accompanied by a rec
ommendati0n that IL be committed to ten years
Imprisonment. IL Is likely that the Gar will
assent to che mi!der punishment. That Stoes-
sci surrendered Port Arthur long before there
was any actual necessity for surrendering was
abundantly proven, II the witnesses against
him told the truth.
According to their testimony, the garrison
was In excellent condition to further withstand
the japanese assaults. Instead OF being nearly
out OF ammunition as Stoessel claimed at the
time, there was hundreds of thousands OF cart
ridges for the rifles great stores OF shells for
the artillery and an abundance OF small arms.
Also the supply OF provisions Of every necessary
description was ample. The health OF the gar
rison had been determined, II 10 true, by long

in such shape that they could not fight.

Thanks God for Roosevelt.

Sacramento Union: The Globe and Com.
mercial Advertiser of New York, having ana
lyzed the editorial comments upon the presi-
dents recent message Of eighty representative
newspapers Of the land, found that iorty.nne
commended 1t uneqnivoca!ly and thirty-one
condemned The point Of difference, as we are
able to get at 1t from the Globe, was as to the
Roosevelt spirit. One side upheld the moral
purpose and insisted that II BODIED no III to
legitimate enterprise. The other side practi-
cally resented the interference Of moral pur-
poses In business affairs, and insisted that such
interference had hurt business, and would con.
tinue TO hurt II. Within the republican party
this issue Is the one now being fought to in-
ish. but when was there ever moral move
meht that did not encounter opposition? Let
US take comfort. We have at the head Of the
nation stupendous moral force, and through
out the nation Ave.eighths Of the forces that

WOULDN'T WE Be HAPPIER.

b. Fay Mills: "Why may not a physician

personal profit or reputation? Why may not a
manufacturer establish his factory on princi.

his genius, the greater would be his contribu-
ton to the welfare Of his economic family and
Of the community? Why may not merchant

mayh he not improve the morals of trade, elevate
the taste OF the com munity, and first, last and

why SOME OPPOSE.

1t Is always fair to consider the possible
and probable reason for opposition to and favor
OF any matter wherein the public is to be
affected. II an opponent can offer no good
sound reason against any proposed move. yet
insists on opposing, It is not unfair to seek the
cause Of his opposition. Take the opposition
OF the banker to consolidation" Of the county
school districts; II ne fails to advance good
reasons against consolidation, and it is fact
that under consolidation he stands chance Of
losing school funds ne may be carrying in his
bank, is It unfair to consider his opposition
tainted with selfshness? Take the opposition
Of Others In towns that actually need the re-
suits Of consolidation far more than others in
favor OF it--Trenton for instance Why are
some Trentonites so strenuously opposed to
consolidation? Because they are conscienti-
ously onvinced that the consolidation plan Is
not good thing for the county? THE REPUB-
LICAN can not say otherwise, but points to the
expression of more than one that they do not
oppose consolidation as plan, but desire 1t de.
layed for time. Ask them why they desire it

doesn't need that kind OF a building at present,

a year and what Is the result-Trenton may

and then be In favor OF consolidation. so as to
throw the bonds on the consolidated districts.

get the same idea; all Of which would mean
wasteful extravaganza. Is II unfair 10 assume
that some who advance no strong reasons
against consolidation, have such ideas In their
heads? Is 1t unfair to point out the possibili.
ties along this line?
II the consolidation plan is good, IL is good
now, better now than In year, or two years.

fIsuBuRN on CONSOLIDATION.

In another column Hon. r. l.. Fshburn, OF
Box Elder county, expresses himself heartily
In favor of the consolidation plan for county
school districts, and he gives reasons why he
favors consolidation. lis reasons are good,
and his expressions 10 regard to this matter
are worthy OF special consideration from the
fact that Mr.. Fishburn Is man Of more than
average ability who investigated consolidation
before IL was instituted in Box Elder county
and since that time has been connected with
the active management Of the consolidated
districts. He takes no stock In opposition to
progress, feeling that prejudice and personal
advantage or disadvantage plays such promi-
nent part with kickers against progressive &C.
ton that the only thing TO do Is to act without
them and prove them wrong. He recalled the
very intense opposition to the consolidation OF
the four districts In Brigham City, and noted
the present jublilation at the success that Is
now attendant upon the city schools operated
under consolidation Had consolidation waited
until the overwhelming majority were In favor
OF 1t there would be no consolidation today,
just as with county consolidation in Box Elder.
The plan was adopted In the face Of intense
opposition but Mr. Fishburn says "there is
always opposition" This factis always to be
remembered opposition in any instance seldom
fails to be heard. Friends of proposed action
are seldom so assertive.

HINTS FOR FARMERS

F0rmalln treatment Is perhaps the
easiest 10 apply ana as effective as
any. Formalin can be purchased at
any drug store.
The smuts are destructive parasitic
fungous plants. There are two classes
OF smut which attack our grains the
sinking smut. or hunt, which attacks
wheat only. and tho loose smut. which
attacks wheat, oats and barley. The
former can easily be distinguished
ft)m the latter In that Il has very
Characteristic odor aud destroys the
kernel only, while the loose smut not
only destroys the kernels. but also

For the formalln treatment mix one
pound OF formalin IN fifty gallons OF
water Place the seed 10 be treated in
burlap sacks and submerge In the solu.

and II is ready for use. II the sacks
be only partly oiled Il win be much

solution and get all the wheat in con
tact with it.-Cor. American CAtivator
