RECORD BREAKING DEMON
STRATION.

The record in convention demon
STATIONS was broken with n ven
geance yesterday at Denver. One
hour and twenty-five minutes was
the time consumed by the delegates
and spectators in cheering, shouting
and indulging in her manifesto
tions of enthusiasm in Mr.. Bryan s
honor. The tribute to the Demo
cratic leader was indeed of an i'm
pressive nature and one which ad-
mirably attests the remarkable hold
he enjoys upon the confidence and
affection of the masses. For the
fierce tide OF fervd reclamation
which yesterday swept the conven-
ton from its moorngs, and carried
1t for the time being into n tempest
tossed sea of frenzied enthusiasm,
had its handspring in the hearts Of
millions of American citizens. The
spirit Of Bryan-ardor displayed In
the floor OF the Denver convention,
can safely be accepted as but re-
flecting the depth and formidable
strength OF Bryan sentiment
throughout the country. 1t was but
a surface sign OF what lies beneath
the surface spontaneous exhibit
tion Of a national condition. The
prolonged and maddened demonstra-
ton recently occurring at Chicago.
when Chairman Lodge eloquently
referred to Mr. Roosevelt is proper
ly 20 be reckoned as OF like nature
and significance concerning the pres
ident. The voice OF the shouting
delegate was after all but the voice
OF the thousands in whose name
and stead he took seat in the conven-
ton hall.
1t is very easy TO decry as OF lit
tie moment these remarkable con-
vention scenes; and to assign them,
as do the cynical. TO the category
OF artfully manufactured and ma
nipulated things. But when It comes
down TO eighty-hye minutes Of an
unceasing, spirited, shouting dem
onstration. such as took place at
Denver yesterday-or the forty-sev-
on minutes Of applause given TO
Roosevelt at Chicago-why such in
cidents can scarcely be the result Of
deliberate. cold-blooded premedlta-

claim impossible. We have seen

The Republican party in West
virginia has made a record for gem
eral rows, bolts and split-ups this
year. There has been bitter strife
at Practically every county primary
or ass meeting in the state, usually
tern mating in a general row. The
city convention this year ended t.,
free for all fight, several arrests
ana bolt by number Of people
who could not stand the methods
adopted. The county convention
callel a few weeks later ended in
about the same way, one candidate
having been nominated by acclama-
ton while another man was trying
to pace in nomination a second man
and hundreds of voices shouting for
him. with the emphatic mo" pre-
dominating upon the "acclamation
vote Now the party has assembled
at Charleston to nominate n state
ticket and has ended with a bolt
and the naming of two tickets. Each
side has denounced the other. and
both told a good deal OF truth. II
is not necessary for the Democratic
party to denounce the political meth
obs in West Virginia. The crowd
has fallen out and are telling on
each other.

The great man, with his amused and

about the sense of power that such
knowledge must give. "Ah," he said,
''much of what have told you is not
proved; it is only suspected. We are
very much in the dark about these
things yet. Probably If physicist of
a hundred years hence could overhear
me he would be amazed to think that

Landing Season

| With a large majority of flock
| owners the lambing season is about
to close. 1t is a pertinent time,
/ therefore, now that the details of so
| important an event are fresh in our
mind, to carefully review the lamb
| ing period noting any lesson that
may be obtained from the past sea-
sons management of the flock. 1t is
one thing to discover an error in
| flock management and another to eff
! feet remedy, but in every instance
the former must be made evident be-
fore the latter can be effectually APP
piled.
There is no flock owner who does
not make some mistakes in the man
agement of his flock. Some, how
ever, make more than others, de-
bending largely upon experience and
attention to details, so all may prof
it by a review of their past expert
ences.
In the past few weeks I have been
asked, by several fock-owners, for an
opinion relative to the cause of diff
ficult parturition. One gentleman
was of the opion that the trouble was
hereditary, as his whole flock has
given more or less trouble from this
cause for several years. 1t is diff
ficult define the relationship between
difficult parturition and hereditary
influences. / have noted in my own
flock that individuals from parents
having trouble of this nature are sub
ject to the same difficulty while re-
ceiving the same care and feed as the
rest of the flock that show no evil
dence of the same trouble. But it
is generally conceded that difficult
parturition is trouble brought
about through improper feeding dur
ing the CESSATION period.
Most flock-owners have had cases
where the offspring was apparently
well developed and vigorous, but the
parent lacked sufficient milk flow to
sustain life in the newly born pro-
geny. This trouble is also traceable,
believe to lack of development of
the milk-producing system caused
from an insufficient amount of the
right kind of food in the ration.
Ewes that have been dry fed during
the CESSATION period are very liable
to this trouble. If the ration has
been well balanced, then perhaps the
lack of sufficient matter has been the
cause of the trouble. When a parent
has been properly fed upon a we'll
balanced ration containing sufficient
matter, there ought not be trouble
of lack of nourishment for the newly
born progeny. If there is, such ewes
should be .culled out as improbable
individuals.
Another trouble that is quite pre-
valent is that of ewes disowning
their lambs. This trouble may also
be improper feeding, but is, to quite

an extent, an hereditary character
common some seasons than others
and among members OF the flock
! that have never shown any previous
indications. We have maintained re-
cords in our own flock and find that
eve lambs selected from parents
that have previously given trouble
of this nature are apt to give similar
trouble. When it is estimated in any
case that the trouble is hereditary
the remedy of rigid culling should be
practiced. But in case there are sew
eral ewes that have never shown
trouble of this nature l believe the
trouble can be remedied by changing
the diet during the CESSATION period
Bowel trouble with lambs the first
few days following birth is the cause
of considerable loss to flock-owners.
1t has been our experience that bow
ell trouble in young lambs is caused
mostly by improper feeding of the
ewes during the latter stage of ges-
ton. A sudden change of diet a
week or two previous to parturition
is very apt to change the character
of the milk, making it difficult for
the young offspring to digest. When
ewes are fed upon a ration contain
ing very little succulent matter more
than when plenty of succulent food
is supplied daily. Any flock-owner
who has had trouble of this kind
should not fail to make some pro-
vision for supplying succulent mat
ter in the ration next year.
1t has only been the intention of
writer to bring a few of the common
troubles that arise during the lamb
ing season to the notice of flock-own
ers. If every flock-owner will care
fully review his past seasons man
agement he will be able to profit by
his mistakes and introduce new
methods that will prove advanta-
geous. No flock owner can fail to
gain many valuable Lessons from his
past management. If he has been

should be made of the methods en-
ployed so that next season will re-
suit as profitably. On the other
hand if he has suffered loss, then it is
all the more important that every
lesson possible be extracted from the
past seasons management while that
experience is fresh in his mind and
new methods introduced.
