Ryan" mankind ever been able

L. L. V.
PThere are no domesticated animals
that are as hard to keep penned up as
Angora goats. To secure them, fence
should be of kind that will not per.
NIT the animals to climb, and from
four to Eve feet high, 1t should be 80
constructed that goat cannot jump
over it, and preferably should be made
of wire instead Of boards. A wire fence
made Of woven wire and about ffty-four
inches high should hold them. Remem
ber, that if the animals can get any
sort Of vantage from which to jump,
they will 60 over the fence. The goats
are pretty good on the defensive, hence
coyotes do not as rule make much
headway in attacking them"
Glenwood, Idaho.-"Is fquaek grass
dangerous pestf How may [ kill
morning-gloriesi" C. B.
Couch grass is another name for
this pest and it is certainly dangerous
when it once has escaped into a garden.
In the Eastern States it is reported
quite often, but have not been in
formed that it is in the Northwest in
any great abundance. The morning
glory is even more dangerous than
quack grass. Fall blowing and cover
ing with straw or manure are fairly
good means of destroying it, but it isI
nearly impossible to kill it by fall plowf
ing"
Wolf Creek, Mont" How much al
falfa seed should be sown per acref
Which is better, fall or spring seed
ingf" W..
eff moisture conditions are all right,
fall seeding will do in some regionA.
Spring seeding should be done so as
to avoid damage by frost when the seed
is terminating. Twelve to fifteen
pounds per acre is about right for broad
cast seeding, but if drill or seeder is
used, ten or twelve will do. +"
Grass Valley, Ore Please tell me
concerning the comparative value Of
wheat, hay, and carrots as feed for
horses.' I. NJ. u.
"Such comparison is impossible,
since the feeds you mention do not Ali
the same need. The food value Of car
rots is very low, but the effect they
have in toning up the system, and keep
ing it in good running order is very
important. A horse could eat peek Of
carrots per day to a very good advan-
tage, but you should not attempt to
substitute them for hay. The same is
true in making a comparison of wheat
and raw carrots for hog feed, although
up TO the amount that a hog will eat,
the carrots will replace certain por-
tion Of the wheat. 1 can safely say
that where carrots will yield twenty
tons per acre, you will And it highly
profitable to feed them to hogs to the
full capacity Of their appstitiss, provid-
ing you feed some grain in connection
with the corrots; but you will be nm
able TO keep stock hogs on carrots alone,
as they contain too small percentage
Of bens-andmuscls-m making material. !"

Every symptom suggests pollution
and disease-the discharge, the red,
angry looking flesh, the pain and in
famnation, and the discoloration of
surrounding parts, all show that deep
/down in the blood there are morbid
and dangerous forces at work, con-
stantly creating poisons which may
in the end lead to Cancer. Local
applications are valuable only for
their cleansing and antiseptic effects;
they do not reach the blood where
the real cause is located, and can
therefore have no real curative worth.

Officials of the federal forest service
are of opinion that fires such as have
devastated portions of northern Min
nesota and Wisconsin may be pre-
vented by system of patrol. Anent
this o. W. Price, associate forester in
the federal forest service, says:
"The extent of the fire in northern
Minnesota and the immense loss
through it's agency in timber and
property show very clearly that the
only means of preventing recurrence
of it will be by establishing an
adequate patrol. This patrol system
has been IN operation on all national
forests for several years, and its
efficiency has been shown during the
present season. Not in many years
have there been so many fires in
national forests as in this season, but,
in comparison with records of other
years the loss has been kept down to
a minimum. Our forest rangers have
been able to prevent the spread of
fires in national forests through
prompt and intelligent action, and I
believe this system should be put in
force where there are large bodies of
trees outside of national forests"

Well worth reading is the following
extract from Rev. Adolph Roeder's
work on practical Citizenship:
"The idea that citizenship simply
means voting is in itself as entirely
erroneous as the idea that christianity
means going to church on Sunday
morning and one evening a week.
These exercises are infnitesimal parts
of the entire subject. The man who
goes to church on Sunday and weighs
out fourteen ounces to the pound on
Monday, or makes disgraceful
political deal on Tuesday, or grinds
the faces of the poor all the rest of the
week, or in fact, does anything I'M;
manly, lacks the proper understand
ing of the word christianity and has
substituted for it the word 'churchian-
ity, which, while it may be perfectly
harmless in itself, is a dangerous sub
stitute for the real article. And the
man who thinks that citizenship means
to drop bit of paper into a box on
a certain day, or to move few levers
in machine and then go away, makes
the same mistake as does his church
conferee. Citizenship means to take
reasonable cognizance of the ideas
that make for civic betterment, both
in the local field and in the larger
fields of the county, the state and the
country. 1t means to know something
OF measures and of men, to study the
force called radicalism and to know
what it is that is of value in the future;
to study the force called conservatism
and to see what it is in the past that
should be conserved and what thrown
Out.'

The exposure of Alaska wheat has
come mono too soon. Farmers have
been paying twenty dollars per bushel
for the seed of this stuff which has
proved a delusion and a snare. The
grain has practically no value for
flour making and, instead of yielding
two hundred bushels to the acre, as
advertised by the sharks who were
selling the seed, it averages no. more
than thirty. Instead of "miracle''
as advertised, it is fraud, and farm
ers would do we'll to let it alone.

1t is clearly evident that the sole
aim of Hearst is to defeat Bryan.
This is shown by the spirit manifested
by the independence party during the
past week or two. Both Hearst and
Hisgen in their public addresses are
denouncing Bryan in the bitterest
terms while maintaining friendly
a.
attitude toward Taft. Hearst's inde-
pendence league, while in itself a for
lorn~ hope, will prove instrumental in
decreasing the democratic vote and
increasing Taft's majority.

Johnson? Mr.. jacobson has record
on that question. Governor johnson
refused to go on record even after he

It has been decided by the state
legal department that the independence
party is not a political party within
the meaning of the election laws OF
Minnesota, that the candidates OF
that party can be placed upon the
state ballot only by petition, and that
a separate nominating petition is
necessary for each candidate, even in
Guiding presidential electors. While
this will cause the party a large
amount of work it is believed that a
sufficient number Of signatures will be
obtained.
