District Convention at Mankato April IS, 1908
State Convention in Minneapolis April Is, 1908

titled to four delegates at large and
in view of the fact that this district
MAS never been represented, that Mr..
Hunt is willing to go and that he is
a logical candidate, we believe the
selection should be given him?
Comfrey Times: f. w. Hunt of the
NIankato Free Press, is the right sort
fof man. to send as delegate to a
republican national convention. He is
president of the Free Press Printing
company, lifeNong republican, a man
of high standing in his home city, and
last. but not least, a man who would
be classed as a representative who
would not favor only the wealthy OF
the land.
Redwing Daily Republican,: F. w.
Hunt of the Mankato Free Press is a
candidate for one of the delegates
at large. to the republican national
convention. Mr.. Hunt and his paper
have always been loyal to republican
ism and there is no reason why he
should not be honored in this way.
His brother editors throughout the
state will all be glad to see him go
to Chicago. 1t is doubtful if any bet
ter man could be found in the Second
district.
Frank w. Hunt, president of the
Free Press Printing company which
publishes. one of the belt papers in
the state, is candidate for delegate
at large to the coming republican con-
yention at Chicago. Frank is loyal
party man runs loyal paper and has ne,
Yer asked or received any recognition. We
hope to see him selected for this
honor. He certainly would have our
vote were we delegate to the state
convention.

SHOULD ASK FOR A CUT,

A writer in the April American
Magazine says: 'While many people
are discussing the problems of sup
porting family of two or three on
$l,sOO per year, l am sitting here
wondering what they do with their
money. / graduated in 1877, saved
up few hundred dollars on salary
of about $50 per month and was
married in 1882. For eighteen years
l taught school on salary of from
5000 to $1,000 per year., l have a
wife-as good as they make them
and four children, aged eleven, nine
teen, twenty and twenty-five
have always lived comfortably. I have
often paid $40 for a suit of clothes,
and my wife never wants to wear less
than a So hat. My wife has done her
own heusework, trained her own chill
dren, stuck to her own husband, and
occasionally taken one or two board
ers, to help out when the hardest
times were on us.
81 never allowed myself to 90 into
debt, except to pay life insurance or
to buy property. / have mot always
paid cash for expenses, but have set
tied all such bills monthly. Fortunate
ly we have all been well, and outside
of fares paid to the stork we have
contributed less than $25 in all to the
doctors. have had no expensive
habits, though I have owned three
horses. In 1000 I gave up my salary
and ventured in business, but l have
carefully kept my living expenses
within the old lines, for, as I say, we
have always lived comfortably enough.

friends. | hope to do so some day.
Now, if and my wife have done this
on salary never in excess of $1,000,
and more often less than $500 per
year, / would like to know what is
the matter with the people who get
$l,7bO or sl,sO6 a year, and think
they must forego the joys of a fam
lily for fear that they will die of
poverty. Ny advice to these people
is that they would be taking a long
step toward ultimate prosperity if
they should voluntarily ask for re-
duction of salary to about $1,000 for
the next two years. But these people
will not take advice. Let them climb
and die"

Ogilvil Seninel: F. w. Hunt. of

as delegate at large to the national

never been honored with a delegate
at large to the republican national
convention, is surely entitled to some
such recognition. in view of the fact
that that district has always rolled
up large majority for the ticket.
Moreover, Mr.. Hunt has long been
identified with the interests and prin-
ciples of the party. is a capable and
honorable man, and if that honor is
to be conferred upon any one in the
Second district, we know no one more
deserving upon whom the mantle could

Madison Lake Tribune: Tt will

Farming is not what 1t was twenty
years ago from revenue standpoint.
Corn and cotton were the main prod
ucts from which the farmer drew his
income, and that, too, only once year.
Now the process has changed up. In
stead of the one crop, cotton, farmers
have invoked multiplicity Of crops,
and not only grow corn and cotton for
revenue, but have supplemented pota-
toes, both Irish and sweet; peaches and
pears, onions, melons, berries, peanuts
and ribbon cane, all of which bring
money at all seasons of the year, and
there is a continued market for what
he has to sell.-Sulphur Springs TEX

quired about the common sorrel." 3"
Professor Beattie replied:
"This is not an extremely serious
weed, although sometimes it does dam
age. If the sorrel has a tendency to
choke out the crop, it is an indication
that the land is rather deficient in
available plant food. You could i'm
prove the condition of your region by
growing some crop of alfalfa, clover,
vetch or peas, and plow such crops un-
der, as this would put humus in the
soil, and improve its condition. On
the West side, this weed is very abund-
ant in the worn-out soils, and the farm
ers find it desirable to lime the soil,
to make more available plant food."-

PRUNING TREES.
Professor Thornber Tells How to
Procure Best Results.

From Washington State College Pullman.
In response to an inquiry from Sher.
lock, Professor W. A. Thornber gave
the following discussion of pruning:
when trees produce too much
wood, and not enough fruit, or no fruit
at all, it is well to prune them very
severely in the summer time, say
about June; also cut them back at
that time. This is to give the trees
check, and make them produce fruit
buds, rather than wood. Here at the
station, in the case of young trees, we
do considerable early spring, or winter
pruning, in order to make the trees
produce large quantities of wood. We
are thoroughly convinced that it is
well for young tree to produce large
quantities of wood, even though you
have to cut it out the following spring.
This extra growth gives a splendid
root development, and this is necessary
before you can secure good tree. In
the case of trees that have been graft
ed, would recommend that you re-
move the suckers just as fast as the
scions seem able to take care of the
entire food supply. In cases where
the tree is very rank grower, fire.
quently leave a few suckers around the
graft, SO that the graft may become
hardened, and not make such a soft
growth.
"Another good plan, at times feas
ible, is to keep an orchard in grass,
and check the growth somewhat in
that way. The western soils and an
excess of moisture are very conducive
to heavy growth of wood; therefore
it is somewhat advisable to grow grass
in the orchard, with the idea of check
ing the growth in this way. Some of
our most successful applegrowers west
of the Cascades, make a practice Of
growing grass in their orchards to pre-
vent the growth. The station does
ncs advise you to make use Of any
, Kind of fertilizer whatever. A small
amount of potash would serve the pur-
pose to make the trees more fruitful,
but under no conditions do we advise
the use of barnyard manure, or nitro
gen, since this would only exhilarate
the growth. In your locality. l think
you could grow the Gravenstein, North
ern Spy, Rhode Island Greening, Jona-
than, and probably the Golden Russets
very successfully. The station now
has specimens of these apples from
your locality, and they certainly show
up we'll"

q large acreage, since he cannot grow
wheat enough to make more than bare
living. The dairy COW opens the way
to a moro lucrative pursuit. Trained
effort, however, is required to handle
this opportunity to the best advantage,
and there must be concentrated and
conscientious effort ON the part of the
dairyman and every member Of his
household.
1t is not my intention to say whal
kind Of q COW is the best for dairy
purposes. That is a problem which
dairymen should decide for themselves,
but, as rule, the cow to keep is the
one which you fancy most and is best
suited to the surroundings you have to
offer. Pedigree will not make cow
give milk, but pure-bred sires are nee
essary in order to have high class
grades. Therefore, it is necessary to
keep a pure bred sire at the head of
the herd and also to be very careful in
the matter of selection.
Insist that the sanitary conditions
around your stable are the best pos
sible Be prompt at milking time. Give
the herd the best of care in the matter
of feed, salt and water. Keep the cows
clean, and permit no one to use rough
methods or use obscene language in your
COW barn. Have a great big heart for
your "job.' Your work must be done
right; and assuredly, the farmer who is
willing to adapt himself to the require
ments demanded by the country will be
successful dairyman.

The disk harrow Is tool that Is
almost Indispensable on an up-to-date

To Prevent Tomato Rot.

The disease often attacks plants that
are not sprayed. 1t is first noticeable
as small black or brown spots on the
leaves and stems of the plants, occur
ring first on the lower and older leaves,
but with favorable weather it spreads
rapidly till the plant is defoliated and
the spots on the stems have coalesced
into irregular backish patches. If a
piece Of bark with these spots be ex-
amined under high power microscope
bodies may be seen. These are the
fruiting spores of the fungus. Spray
with Bordeaux mixture.

Every man who works on farm
ought to know how to care for horses.
By care" it is not meant that he
should know just enough to feed a
horse, but he must know how to take
care of mare in foal, how to break
colt and how to feed it to the best ad-
vantage. He should know all about
horses feet and something about shoe
ing, too. Many a man has dropped
into a fine and permanent job because
he knew these things. Horses are the
most valuable animals on the farm, Of

best care of them is the most valuable
