BLEACHED FLOUR CASES.
Millcrs Of Entire Country Interested
I'm the Result.

Washington, d. c., oct. "a. Flour
millers throughout the country are
much interested I'm the hearing soon
to be held before the board of food
and drug inspection in the depart
ment OF agriculture on the question OF
the proprlety of bleaching flour. In
North Dakota, Kansas and other
states the pure food commissions are
already wrestling with the subject.
The millers are vigorously protest
ing against the statements of some
of the pure food commissioners to the
effect that the so-called bleaching
process renders the flour Injurious
The process was invented about four
years ago and is said to be nothing
more than a rapid process of aging
the flour. The method was first
used in the south. Now it is being
used To a considerable extent in the
west and northwest. The process
has been so perfected that it is diff
cult to detect the bleached from the
unbeached flour The millers declare
that the process is not in any way in
furious and that the only effect is to
give the flour a uniform color when
II leaves the mills. Without "bleach-
ing" the color of the flour is apt to
vary with the character of the soil in
which the wheat is raised.

$4,000 GIFT FOR
WOMAN SUFFRAGE
WHILE ASSOCIATION
STRUGGLES CHECK ARRIVES
Orators Talk on Movement and De-
clare That Women Not Only Want
the Ballot Bm Would Use II In
Acknowledgement Is Told
That Whiskey Is Greatest Enemy
in Struggle in Oregon.

The problem of financing the work
of the American Women's Suffrage as
sociation obtruded itself recently in
Buffalo and for a TIME clogged the
smooth running machinery of the wo-
man suffrage convention. The ques-
ton first came up in executive ses-
sion. where, il is said, President Anna
T. Shaw talked to the delegates in no
uncertain way as to their failure to
provide the national organization
with the means to carry on its work.
1t was finally decided to make an
effort at the afternoon session to raise
at least $4,000 by voluntary subscrip-
tion. The contributions had reached
$3.50 when a messenger handed
president Shaw letter from Mrs.
Catherine B. Lewis of Buffalo, in
closing a check for $4,000.
1t was so late when the executive
session adjourned that part of the
program for this morning was tenn
porarily laid aside. The afternoon
session opened with a symposium on
stock Objections to Woman Suf-
frage."
Answering the oft-repeated state
ment that women do not want to vote,
Mrs. Mary r. l.. Gannett of Rochester
said in part: women nat only want
the ballot, but would use it intelli-
gently. Woman's sphere embraces
every spot on earth, every law and
regulation that influences in any way
home or child or woman's labor"
Miss Laura Gregg of Kansas, al
woman suffragist organizer, related
some Of the struggles for enfran-
in Western states, especial
" in Oregon and oklahoma, where
it was said that the real enemy to
women suffrage is the saloon and
brewery interests.

SENATOR FULTON AND HOBSON
C0NTRASTEO BY LEADING DEMOCRAT

honest conscience Fulton would
tell his audience that Taft or any
other republican who might be run
| ming for president Is the greatest
man Of the world and absolutely
without blemsh. and that Bryan. or
any other democrat who might run
| for president. Is an absolute failure
IN every undertaking Of life. Hobson
would tell his audience that each
candidate-Bryan and Taft-is n
clean upright honest and able repre-
sentative OF his party and would make
a good president,
Fulton cannot see any good in the
democratic party nor in any man who
is n democrat, and he has hatred and
contempt for the democratic party
and for every one Of its members,
Hobson sees good things and good
principles in both the republican and
democratic party and has the highest
admiration for the great and good
men in each party. Fulton would
say TO his opponent, you are a liar,
coward and have no sense" Hobson
would say to his opponent, you may
be- mistaken. | don't agree with you
hut YOU may be right. and may be
wrong; each Of us Is entitled to con-
scientlous belief" Fulton would
make a bitter enemy out of every man
with whom he politically dlsagrees;
Hobson would be friendly and cour-
teous TO every man with whom he
disagrees because he is by nature one
Of the most charitable of men.
Hobson believes i'm the maintenance
Of a great army and navy and the
best Of coast defenses. He believes
in the greatest protection and secur-
ity for the American people. He
would go into the thickest of battle
and hoist the flag of his country at
the risk of losing his life, and never
finch nor hesitate in doing so. He
Is by nature a great fighter. but in
stead of being offensive is altogether
defensive.
Fulton VIII Never BE Reelected.
Fulton will never be returned to
the United States senate because he
Is not politician enough to sympathize
with, and hold the confidence Of. the
members Of his party with whom he
dlsagrees In a contest for nomina-
tlon In a primary election with
member of his own party who has
ten times less ability, he would lose,
because he lacks tact and political
sagacity. Compared with him Jona-
than Bourne Is a mere pigmy Full
toms fault lies largely I'm his acrimo-
nious attitude toward those who dis
agree with him. He brings defeat
upon himself for lack of political
charity and tact. Hobson will very
likely be in successful political favor
the remainder of his life because he
Is tactfully resourceful and a pleasant
gentleman in his actions |
toward every person with whom he !
comes in contact, After all, the con-
trast between them both are very
strong men and in many respects very
able men.

Of prominent Urbana family, her
father having been an active politician
there. She left home Saturday after
noon to attend the closing session of

WINTER SHEEP FEEDS.
Rough Feeds Should be Grown and
Used for Sheep.

FURNISHED by the Minnesota, Far
mer's Institutes, st. Anthony Park,
St. Paul, Mimi
According to the make up of a
sleeps stomach, it is an animal de-
signed for the consumption of rough
feeds such as various sorts of hay and
fodder. To keep up the fertility of
our soil and to keep our land clean it
is necessary to grow hay crops con-
tanning some clover and crops that
may be cultivated, such as fodder
corn or shock corn. Such feeds have
no particular market value and should
be valued according to the cost of
producing them. Grains have a
market value and may be disposed of.
A dollar invested in producing rough
feeds win produce more feed than
dollar invested in grain at market
price. Rough feeds, therefore, should
be grown and used as feed for sheep.
Breeding ewes, if in fair condition
when put into winter quarters in fall,
need not gain more than from 15 to 25
pounds per head. This gain allows
for the development Of the unborn
lamb and the wool crop. Rations to
make the eve gain slightly and yet.
keep her thrifty, must be carefully
made. Some rough feeds contain
considerable fibre. With them it is
necessary to feed succulent or oily
feeds. For example, with oat straw,
timothy or oat hay, roots or oil cake
should be fed. With clover, which is
laxative in effect such
Supplement- is not needed. Exer-
else for the ewes, regularity in sheep
ing, watering and sailing, are factors
that count III sheep feeding.
Rations for Ewes in lamb: A few
rations that have been fed to ewes in
lamb with good results follow. They
are the daily feed per 100 lbs. live
weight.
1: End crop clover hay alone, 35
to 81 lbs.

manual lines has also saved me TINA,
money and inconvenience. This fact
may seem insignificant, but it is far
from that. For example, right in the
busiest time of harvest brace on the
tongue of the binder broke. This
would have made the machine useless
for the day had not my training en-
abled me to repair it, which I did in
less than an hour. This saved me the
loss of half day with the machine in
the field and also the charge which
the blacksmith would have made for
the work"

GOOD FARMING
The Knowing How to Farm Seienti=
fically Explained by Dollars.

An interesting series of letters is
being published in the Saturday Even
ing Post from college-bred farmers,
who are supposed to tell "How they
made the old farm pay" These farm
ers are not necessarily "college bred"
in the ordinary sense; they spe-
cialized at the agricultural schools.
Their testimony is interesting. One
man who lives in Wisconsin tells that
he increased the total farm sales from
$3,324 in 1899 to $11, $3.50 in 1906. The
farm is now 26O acres, of which 160
acres are improved land. From plot
of ~ acres planted to blackberries
the receipts for six year were 800.
He says:
ssThe most important problems we
have to meet are soil management and
fertility. 1t was the first problem that
led me to take the agricultural course,
and the instruction Ireceiyed has been
of untold value in my farm operations.
The conservation of soil-moisture
alone at a critical moment freque ntly
has made up the difference between a
season of disaster and loss and one
of handsome profits. am sure that
did the average farmer realize what
an enormous loss of needed moisture
is taking place in fields at certain
critical times, losses which might be
saved by pushing the cultivator lit
tie harder and cutting out a trip to
town once, he would not consider
himself slave or even sinner.n
Peter Trask, residence not given al
though from what he says he lives in
an agricultural State, where condi-
tions are not alike those in Minnesota,
writes after a years farming since
leaving school:
stFirst, take the matter of corn. By
knowing how to select my seed prop
erly and cultivate my land succeed
ed in increasing the yield from twenty
to forty bushels an acre. The season
was very backward one, and many
of my neighbors were forced to re-
plant their corn fields. The superior
seed which my training had enabled /
me to select undoubtedly accounted
for the strong termination and the /

fact that | had vigorous stand while
my neighbors had a very poor one.
Again, my corn brought fifty cents a
bushel Cor ten dollars an acre9 more
than that of my neighbors; as plant
ed sixty five acres the advantage was
$3.50 to the credit of a scientific ed
ucation. This alone paid fairly well
for the investment had made for the
three years at the college.
ssAgain, I obtained five bushels of
wheat more to the acre than the
fields of my neighbors produced. This
was almost entirely due to the treat
ment of the seedbed IN accordance
with scientific principles which I had
learned at the college. was obliged
to use the same seed that my neigh
bors used, but the fact that I thor
oughly narrowed the field produced a
mulch which enabled the wheat to
withstand the drought. For my wheat
I received ninety cent bushels,
which brought me $3.50 more to the
acre than my neighbors received for
their wheat. On fifty acres this
amounted to 1925.
HIn oats I was clearly successful,
getting yield of thirty seven and a
half bushels more to the acre than the
highest yield of anyone in that couu-
ty. This advance attribute to the
fact that selected Kherson as the
variety of oats best adapted to that
locality, and to the fact that the soil
was scientifically prepared. On my
oats at forty cents bushel I realized
an advance over the yield of neighbor
ing fields of $500 an acre. In short,
the total of the whole years opera
tions was $949.S0 over and above the
results obtained by neighbors, and
therefore fairly to be credited to the
better methods which / was enabled
to use because of my training in the
agricultural college.
ssIt is only fair to remember that |
had no opportunity to make any de-
cided advance in soil fertility, and
that my soil was in practically the
same condition as to fertility as that
of the neighboring farms. I should
add, too, that the knowledge of how
to feed and handle live stock accord
ing TO the principles taught me in the
college has made my stock practically
immune from the diseases in the COM
muniGy. My college training in wood
