"There are going to be some sur
prises in New York state and the
New England states when the fall
elections come around" said 0. B.
Blackburn, a soap and knit under
wear manufacturer of New York
and Providence. Mr.. Blackburn
made this statement to the Wash.
ington correspondent for the Louis
vile Courier Journal. Then he
added: 81 think you will find that
after the votes are counted that
Mr.. Bryan Will be the man who
will occupy the white house, and
not your friend Taft. There is a
change of sentiment throughout
the northeast that will not down,
and it is all for Bryan. The peo-
pie there do not look upon Bryan
as they did twelve years ago. If
you notice, several of the papers
that were antagonistic to BRYAN are
slowly but certainly turning to him.
| am a democrat, but voted for
Roosevelt, and would do it again;
but will not vote for his substi
tute, and that is the way many per-
sons in that section of the country
are talking. Many republicans,
business men-two of my partners,
for instance-are going to vote for
Bryan. One of them said a day or
so ago that he thought Taft would,
in way carry out Roosevelt's
ideas, but they were sure Bryan
would carry all of them out. They
want certain revisions in the tariff,
and will get it if Bryan is elected.
Another thing, they are tired of
the Cannon rule and feel that if
Bryan is elected it will in a meas
ure mark the downfall of Uncle
Joe as king in the house of repre-
Sentatives. In the central part of
New York state, which the repub-
llcans have considered strongly
theirs, an undercurrent is moving
that broods i'll for the candidate
who does not work for the farmers
and small manufacturers inter
ests. In going through that Sec
ton OF the state bankers, farmers
and business men are discussing
the issues and platform Mr.. Bryen
stands on, and all l could hear
was favorable. AS | have said,
they do not dislike Mr.. Taft per-
sonally, but they do not like the
idea of his standing on Roosevelt
pins.

Whether this will be a Demo.
cratic year at the polls or not,
even Republican partisans must
admit that Democratic doctrine is
all that is talked about or is worth
noticing in any of the political
platforms. For instance, without
the Denver planks that are in the
Republican platform of Kansas,
where would the 60. p. party
OF this state get its enthusiasm.

If Stubs and Bristow are Re-
Publicans, advocating opposite
measures that are advocated bv
Taft, while Taft is at the head of
the ticket and therefore the chief
exponent of the party's doctrines,
then surely Republicanism stands

On such an important matter as
safeguarding the money belonging
to individuals a political party
should not be divided. To promise
one thing nationally and the oppo-
site in state is proof that the party
is sincere in neither. 1t is a bid
for votes in each case and the plat.
forms are made only for the emer-
gency created by public sentiment.
A party should be for a thing be-
cause it is right and against thing
because it is wrong. The guaran.
ty OF bank deposits is either right
or it is wrong, and a political party
that favors it in Kansas where it is
supposed to be popular, land against
1t in New York where it is suppos.
ed to be unpopular, lays itself open
to severe criticism. The Republi-
can party is without the courage to
meet this issue in an honest man.

make up your mind that they are
not safe men to elect to the offices

believe only small per cent of it,
you can not support either of them.

Houses of Corn Cobs.

In some parts of Europe corn cobs
are used for building purposes. The
cobs are collected and taken to fac
tory, where heavy congresses crush
and mold them into blocks of various
sizes, just as bricks are variOusly
nodded. These blocks are then bound
with wire so as to make them hold to-
gether. They are then soaked in tar
to make them water-tight, and are
ready for use after this treatment Of
course, they are much lighter than
bricks. are always dry, and make good
houses. This Is but one of the very
many ways in which Europe shows
greater economy than America does.
There Is little over there which goes to
waste. Even the refuse and garbage
of Paris is made to serve a purpose by
being burned and converted into pow

In the entire realm Of scientific IN
vestieat ton there is nothing more inter-
cstins and marvellous than the growth
and development of plants from the
beginning or tho termination OF the
seed to the reproduction OF the germ.
Each species of plant has Its distinct
i've character and life habits and only
flourishes where natural conditions are
favorable to its growth. To attain any
degree Of perfection, the soil and CHM
ate combined must be such as inc
plants require, although a moderate de-
gree Of success may be attained when
either of these factors are not exactiy
suited to its growth, but where ootn
are deficient in any considerable de-
gree the plant can not be successfully
grown, except by artificial means
whereby the necessary natural condl-
lions are created. If the chemical COM
position of the soil Is favOraDle, anu
climatic conditions unfavorable, the
latter can be created artificially-such
as protection from cold and excessive
heat and lack of moisture-and. like
wise, If the soil is deficient In the
chemical elements which the plant re-
quires, they can be added to, but In
either case the process is laborious and
expensive and the results unsatisfac-
tory. All plants are indigenous to
certain kinds of soil, and all soils are
especially adapted to the growth OF
certain kinds of plants, and nature can
not be improved upon in any way. nor
can her deficiencies be successfully
remedied by artificial means. In order,
therefore, to be successful In his busi-
ness, the farmer must keep close to
nature and mark well her ways" He
must raise only such crops as are best
adapted to the soil Of his farm, In &C
cordance with his experience, and
wholly refrain from extensive expert
ments with such as are Of doubtful
utility.

To apply the attachment to chick

and by placing the parallel sides toward
each other the hook can be snapped IN
position and retained by the resiliency
of the wire. The hook will be on the
inner corner Of the wing and will pre-
vent the device from slipping Off. The
chicken will thus be prevented from

Feet Of the Horse.
The usefulness of a horse depends
largely upon the quality Of his feet. II
they are sound and we'll taken care OF
he Is able to travel and work Wen,
but If they are defective and neglected
his usefulness is impaired and he can
lot be depended on In any emergency
as he Is liable, when his services are
most needed, to become partially II not
wholly disabled, resulting in serious
loss to his owner. But few horses are
born with perfect feet yet the defects
by careful treatment are often entire
" cured; also many horses with souno
hoofs are practically ruined BY the
ignorance or carelessness Of black
smiths.
The proper shoeing of horses and the
general care Of their feet Is matter
that should receive the strict attention
Of every farmer, and yet, as rule,
it is wofully neglected. The farmer
should have knowledge Of the natural
formation Of horses foot. so as to be
able to determine whether the animal
is being properly shod or not, ana
while that Is being done he should
never 60 away and leave the smith TO
slight the work to get through with II
or butcher it's feet If he does not un-
derstand his business.
While no definite rules for shoeing
horses can be given, some general prin
ciples are acknowledged by all com
petent horseshoers, namely, the nee
should never be cut except to remove
ragged point. The same Is true Of
the frog, which Is an elastic cushion
intended to reduce the impact Of sud
den shock to the foot. The butteri'
is an instrument that may do an i'm
mense amount of damage in the ha1d
Of an incapable operator. Much mis-
chief is done by 1t every day.
When the toe Is too long and project
beyond the hoof, 1t causes stumbling
and it should be shortened. A hot irol
should never be applied to. the foot t
ascertain its evenness, as many black
smiths do merely to save time, whe
they know it is not right. A scare

The outside of the hoof should not

Depth of Cyclones.

From the study Of clouds an official
of the United States Weather Bureau
concludes that the ordinary cyclones
which traverse our country from west
to east are not more than two or three
miles in depth, although their diameter
is many hundreds Of miles. In other
words. their motion does not affect the
upper regions Of the atmosphere.
In the case Of hurricanes, this au-
thority finds that the depth is greater.
amounting to as much as five or six
miles. But higher currents blow direct
ly across the cyclonic and anticyclonic
areas which produce storms and fair
weather at the surface Of the earth.
This new theory tends to Offset form
er ideas concerning the circulation of
the atmosphere.

An Agricultural Pest.

80 great have been the ravages
caused by the dodder-a leafess, twin
ing, parasitic plant-that decree has
been issued by the French President
prohibiting its importation into the
country. 1t Is a veritable agricultural
scourge, attacking and destroying hops,
vines, clover, peas, tomatoes and many
other kinds Of agricultural produce.
Once having found Its way Into any dis
trict, 1t is most difficult to get rid of,
and constitutes a permanent source of
anxiety to the farmer. Cutting down.
burning and poison have all been tried
with unsatisfactory results.
