CHICAGO. June 1S.-The text OF the

meets the new problems of government
with the same courage and capacity with
which it solved the old.
Republicanism Under Roosevelt.
In this the greatest era of American
advancement the republican party has
reached its highest service under the
leadership of Theodore Roosevelt. His
administration is an epoch in American
history. In no other period since ma
tional sovereignty was won Under Wash
ington. or preserved under Lincoln, has
there been such mighty progress in those
ideals of government which make for
justice, equality and fair dealing among
men.
The highest aspirations of the Ameri-
can people have found a voice. Their
most exalted servant represents the best
aims and worthiest purposes of all his
countrymen. American manhood has
been lifted to a nobler sense of duty and
obligation. Conscience and courage in
public station and higher standards OF
right and wrong in private life have be-
come cardinal principles of political
faith; capital and labor laws have been
brought into closer relations of conf
dence and interdependence. and the
abuse of wealth, the tyranny of power.
Co. III
ism have been put to scorn by the simple,
manly virtues of justice and fair play.
: The great accomplishments of President
Roosevelt have been, first and foremost,
brave and impartial enforcement of the
law: of the prosecution of illegal trusts
and monopolies; the exposure and punish
ment of evildoers in the public service;
the more effective regulation of the rates
and service of the great transportation
lines: the complete overthrow of the pref
erences rebates and determinations; the
arbitration of labor disputes; the amelio-
ration of the condition of wage workers
everywhere: the conservation of the nat
ural resources of the country: the forward
step in the improvement of the inland wa
ferways: and always the earnest support
and defense of every wholesome safeguard
which has made more secure the guaran-
ties of life. liberty and property.
These are the achievements that will
make for Theodore Roosevelt his place in
history, but more than all else the great
things he has done will be an inspirati ton
to those who have yet greater things to
do. We declare our unfaltering adher-
ence to the policies thus inaugurated, and

With gratitude for Gods bounty. with
pride in the splendid productiveness of
the past and with confidence in the plenty
and prosperity of the future. the repub-
lican party declares for the principle that
in the development and enjoyment OF
wealth so great and blessings so benign
there shall be equal opportunity for all.
The Revival Of Business.
Nothing so clearly demonstrates the
sound basis upon which our commercial,
industrial and agricultural interests are
founded. and the necessity of promoting
their continued welfare through the oper-
alton of republican policies. as the recent
safe passage of the American people
through financial disturbance which, if
appearing In the midst of democratic rule
or. the menace Of it, might have equaled
the familiar democratic panics of the
past. We congratulate the people upon
this renewed evidence of American SUI
premacy and hail with confidence the
signs now manifest of complete restora-
ton of business prosperity in all lines of
trade, commerce and manufacturing.
Recent Republican Legislation.
Since the election Of William Mckinley,
in 1885, the people of this country have
felt anew the wisdom of intrusting to the
republican party. through decisive MAORI
ties. the control and direction o. ma
tional legislation.
The many wise and progressive meas

gress have demonstrated the patriotic re-

Take Care of Seed Corn.

Apropos of the article in a recent
issue of the American Cultivator up
on preserving seed corn and other
seeds, w. C. Mason of Pawlet, VT,
says that much of the trouble from
infertile seed corn is caused by it's
being exposed to freezing weather
before the grain is thoroughly dry. His
practice is to keep it in dry, warm
room-a modern dairy stable will an
swer-until midwinter or until he is
sure it is well dried, when it may
be hung in any protected, dry spot.
But he thinks there is no advantage in
exposing it to storms.
Mr.. Mason has also found from act
ual tests that it is not essential that
seed corn be selected only from that
fully ripe and glazed. But that if the
corn is fully grown, though in quite
milky stage, it will terminate well if
treated as he suggests and practices.

Killing Steers on the Farm.

A correspondent asks me about
the beef rings" which are formed
among farmers for the pur-
pose of supplying fresh meat to their
members. In the first place it is neces-
sary to have sixteen or twenty mem
bers, for a carcass can be cut to best
advantage, when it is cut into 16 or
20 portions. When beef is the only
meat provided, each member agrees to
furnish a well-fattened steer or heifer,
not over two years old. A regular
butcher is hired to do the killing, and
cutting up the portions. A strict ac-
count is kept of each animal furnished,
and also of each members weekly pOr-
ton. At the close of the season any
differences in values are adjusted. This
is the system followed by one very sue
cessful association. Other systems may
differ in detail, but the main idea is
the same. The two things which must
be settled at the start are, value of
each animal to be killed, and value of
each portion. Then if one man gets
better portion than another he pays
accordingly.-L. c., in the Indiana
Farmer.

Guide to Feedinu.

Feeding too much or too little will
cut down the profits. Too much feed
will make the old birds fat and lazy,
and they will not lay many eggs or lay
very fertile ones. Too much stufing
Of chicks will injure their digestion.
When more is fed than is really need
ed, some of the feed is wasted When
not enough is fed, there cannot, Of
course, be profitable egg production by
young ones. The feeding for birds Of
any age should be just small enough
to keep the appetite keen for every
meal. That is the best general guide.

and joists, pretty close together for
strength, and covered roof and all

close to keep from shrinking. Two
thicknesses of tarred paper, nailed

summer l could open and fasten them
back and in the winter close them

with a coarse screen nailed on the in
side to prevent anything getting in
The entrance door was on one end
and several small doors about Is feet
apart were made that opened out into
the runs. These could be closed at
night, the partitions were made Of
coarse screens, and with doors connect

and the second pen for roosts, and
kept the others full of litter for the
hens to scratch in, or at any time for

were only about foot from the ground
so as to let the sun shine in low |
also had two windows not so large in
each end hinged on the bottom, so |
could open them little and not have
a draft bearing in on the hens. These

foot My nests were about feet long,

off, and also make them dark We

Fertility Account of the Dairy.

A well-fed cow we find produces in
year 1O7 pounds of nitrogen and 81
pounds of phosphoric acid and about
81 pounds of potash. I am satisfied
that most farmers are now able to get
as much out of that 107 pounds Of
nitrogen as from that they purchase.
1t is worth as much to them, and it
should and does contribute to the pro-
duction of raw material. If it does not
do so, it is because it is not handled
properly or it is not used properly We
have made some experiments on this
line. We allowed the manure to leach
in the winter and out of LOT pounds
found we had in three months lost
A pounds in the process of teaching,
and the best portion of nitrogen also
went out in teaching process. In or
der to show the relative increase in the
crop which we might expect by apply
ing the waste produce in its original
state, as compared with its leached
state, we applied both corn and oats.
Upon the fresh manure increased the
yield 59.4, 90 tons per acre; upon corn
the leached manure in eased the yield
S6 percent. On oats the increase was
% percent from the use of percent.
We lost the nitrogen itself in the
teaching process. The matter is an
important one to consider. We should
apply the manure fresh and as fast
as it is made, as the preferable way.
This matter of teaching is not so bad

enough to cause fermentation, but 1t
