 President Gompers of the American Federation of Labor is aware of this, and he and his agents have been very active in an endeavor to thwart Mir. Littlefield's will
 Advices from Maine say that sen- sation was caused in political circles there by the receipt by Governor Will liam T. Cobb of letter from Con- gressman Charles E. Littlefield tender ing his resignation as a member of congress, to take effect on Sept. 30 next.
 Wants to Resume Law Practice.
 In the same mail was a communica- ton to the chairman of the Second dis trict Republican congressional commit tee from Mir. Littlefield, in which the latter gave as the reason for his resig- nation his desire to resume his law practice, which in large degree he has been compelled to abandon for nine years because of his congressional duties.
 Harold NJ. Sewall formerly United States minister to Hawaii, announced himself as a candidate for the Repub- lican nomination for representative in congress to succeed Mir. Littlefield. Several other Republicans have ex. pressed desire to succeed Mir. Little field.
 MT. Littlefield has been in congress, representing the Second Maine district, since 1899. when he was chosen to fill the unexpired term of Nelson Dingley in the Fifty-sixth congress. MT. Little field served as speaker of the Maine house of representatives in 1887 and as attorney general of the state from 1889 to 1893.

To Select n Cow.

While there may be no infallible
rule by which a man can be governed
IN selecting a high-class dairy cow.
there are many points that will assist
and If carefully considered. will pre-
vent disappointment as rule. Remem-
Der that a COW is machine and is in
tended to change the different products
on which she is fed into something
of more value. There are two distinct
types of these machines One manufac-
lures or converts feed into beef: the
other into milk There is very de-
cided and pronounced difference In the
type of the animal that makes beef.
and the one which manufactures milk.
In the dairy type we have an animal
that is angular, thin, somewhat loose
1ointed and with prominent bones She
Is wedge-shaped from the front with
a lean head, moderately long face
slightly dished and a general contented
expression of the features. The muz-
zle is large, mouth large nostrils wide
and OPEN clear full bright eye, a
broad, full and high forehead, ears me-
dunn size, fine texture, covered with
fine hair and orange yellow inside. The
neck is thin, moderately long with lit
tie or no dewIap and the throat is
clean Wide space between the jays,
the withers lean and sharp, the shout
ders lean and oblique and the chest
deep and wide. which indicates yfgor
and constitution.

j. NJ. True. secretary of the State Ag-

for report to be issued soon. According
to the reports he has received as basis,
from the different county clerks of the
State, of statistics on crops. 1858
acres of wheat were grown in Wisconsin
during the year 1907. The number of
acres of corn was 1927, 766: oats. 2,106,-

1t is also estimated there are 1887 ,0S6
growing apple trees in the State. The
report of the number of acres this year
shows little increase over last year. except
there are more acres of sugar beets than
before and slight increases in the other
figures. Figures on the number of bush
els grown will not be available for near
ly year hence. The assessors reports
also show that there are 1,143,606 mich
cows in the State, 100, 104 head of other
cattle, 511 ,O91 horses, $50, 156 sheep and
66o, 40 swine. The assessors figures as
to the value of the different animals is
considered generally low The mich
cows of the State are valued at S24, S34.-
400 other animals at 50, 49,, SS3 horses
at S33,653. 400; sheep at $1.624,2 37, and
the swine at 81, 1861 These figures
are considered in a general way by the
State tax commission when estimating the
value of the total property of the State.

Begin at the Ton.

The mistake that most persons make
when they decide to go into the poul-
try business is that of starting with
mongrel fowls and trying to drift into
the pure-bred line year after year. They
will buy, perhaps, sitting of pure-bred
eggs of pure-bred fowls and at the end
of the season they allow the entire lot
to run together, and when the next
years Matching season comes around
they decide that they will still keep
some of the mongrel hens, if for no
other purpose than to furnish eggs for
the table. 1t naturally follows that the
two breeds get mixed, and at the end
of the next season there are but few
of the young fowls which do not show
cross. Another mistake that they
make is that of trying to keep more
than one breed. Those who have had
years Of experience and have provided
ample yards and houses for each breed
may be able to do this, but those who
are not so arranged should never at
tempt to keep more than one
IL ID Iol4s W expect 10 supply every
kind of fowls which individuals may
ask for, and no one should attempt to
do so.
Select one pure breed-one best suit
Ell to the needs of nearby markets and
the one you fancy most Dispose of
the mongrel fowls on the place and
keep the breed pure. Each year select
the best males and females and again
dispose of those that do not come up
to all the standard requirements. Year
after year small defects will disappear
and you will soon have flock which
will not only be handsome, but at the
same time profitable. Don't try to sup
ply all customers. Make speciality
of one kind and let your customers
know that they can get nothing better
than you can offer them.-Wisconsin

To Feed a Calf Ono Year

In an experiment to ascertain the
cost of raising a calf Professor Shaw.
Of Michigan Station, took a dairy calf
and kept an accurate account of the
expense Of feeding for one year from
its birth. The amount of feeds used
In that time were 3S1 pounds of whole
milk, 2,56S pounds Of skim milk. 2.260
pounds of silage, 90 pounds of beet
pulp, 1.254 pounds Of hay, 1,241 pounds
of grain, ia pounds of roots. IA pounds
of alfalfa meal and 90 pounds of green
corn. The grain ration consisted of
three parts each of corn and oats and
one part of bran and oil meal. At the
end of the year the calf weighed 500
pounds at cost of $3.50 for feed. The
calf was Holstein.

owned by Thomas Gleason and William

selected. which is the time when ecA
are least abundant and the cost Is the
highest. The whole matter depends on
the success with which the flock is kept
laying The results showed all the way
from profit Of SIG to loss of SO for
each lot Of one hundred fowls.
1t is commonly supposed that the
largest birds are the best winter Law
ers, but some of the best results in
these contests were given by White
Leghorns. 1t should be noted In this
connection that when hens are forced
by meat and other stimulating foods to
lay well in winter they do not lay so
many eggs in the following spring and
summer. Hence when eggs are wanted
to sell for Matching it pays better to
let the flock rest in winter and be ready
to produce all the eggs possible during
the Matching season, but for production
OF market eggs 1t is better TO give stim-
ulatlng foods in winter and obtain as
many eggs as possible from November
TO March. Most Of the eggs during that
period will come from the early hatch
ed pullets and from the hens that have
gone through their moult early.
