SOME FOOL LITTLE FACTORS
 THAT MIGHT MEAN MUCH.

Then there are small factors in the campaign which have more or less effect 10 deciding the uncertain citizen ss to how he will cast his vote. For instance there was the idIotic break Of sou-iu-law Longworth, when, ou the fairgrounds a: Rock Island, weeks ago he declared that, after Taft shall have served eight years in the White house, Mr. Roosevelt will resume that oHce. A crack like..hat!with the judge men, of taa people on a hair as 1t has been many a time m the history Of this country might, iu itself, have landed Mir. Bryan iu the whitehouse for those eight years aud left Mir. Taft to spend them elsewhere and also jeopsrdIzsd Mir Roosevelt's return there. It must be a great burden to be carrying around a son-in-law like that.
 Another little thing that, It is safe to bet, has cost Mir. Taft a few votes iu the present temper of the people, is his allowing himself to be inter- viewed the other day in the Whiethouse itself.
 Now you see this has the appear ance of proprietorship at the White, house that will excite the bile of many people-it surely will. Mir. Taft did not mean it to have such an appearance and to him it did not so appear for he is at home in the Whitehouse. having but recently been there daily by right of office But it will be resented by many for no better reason than that it could hardly have occurred with Mir. Bry- an-the ethics of the situation would bar him from calling at the White house at this time And yet had any circumstance have taken him there and had he been interviewed in like manner in the east room, his jocular reference to she time when he would be living there would have been taken in good part by the whole country. Such is the mystery of circumstance, and upon such fine lines does destiny often hang

Of all the queer things seen tn politics outside of Alaska, was there ever anything stranger than William Jennings Bryan and David B. Eill and Judge Alton Parker on the same plat form, advocating the same thing. oi all people tha, hate each other iu this world and who stand for Opposites, these three men are chiefs. In the St. Louis convention they fought each other bitterly and made DO concealmeut that their views were radically opposed. The sitting down together of Taft and Bryan at the same table is not to be compared with this queer combination,

ly with their habits, their likes and
dislikes, learning what they need and
what is bad for them.
CheapnesS in production is the first
point to be mastered by the beginner.
In his breeding he should work for
large litters, early maturity and quail
ity
Starting with one SOW, it will pay to
buy mature one that has shown that
she will produce good pigs and raise
eight to ten at a litter. She should
have two litters a year.
Cheap shelter can be made with
straw, sod or boards. The beginner
can watch his small lot of hogs care
fully and learn how to make them
grow rapidly at least expense.
If any trouble occurs it can usually
be seen in a small lot of pigs before it
is past curbing. When there is a loss
it cannot be heavy, and the grower
gets his experience cheaply.

The third year the grower should
have learned enough about growing
hogs to be able to handle ten SowS
and their produce, and after that he
should know enough to slowly increase
his hog herd to the limit of his farm.
Cheap shelter and fences should be
used until the profits from the hogs
will pay for better ones. No large
building should be erected until hogs
have been grown several years on the
farm and the breeder is sure of what
he wants and where he needs to To-
cate 1t.
Sows should be kept as long as they
produce good litters. An old SOW will
usually have large pigs, greater num-
ber and pigs with more vitality than
an immature. growing SOW.
Starting with one SOW, she will be
the foundation of the herd, no matter
how large it may become. 1t will pay
to have the first a good one, even if
she costs considerable money.

Why We Like a Mule,

Because he is the most tirelessrwork-
er on the farm.
He eats less than a horse, but~doe
more work.
He is always as good as cash in the
bank.
He never falls through a hole in Il
bridge and generally keeps out Of dan
ger.
He is an excellent saddle animal If
you know how to saddle him.
His feet stand hard roads better than
those of horse.
He is more intelligent than horse.
He is never in love, but attends
strictly to business all the time.
He is never sick but once, and then
he dies. But who ever saw dead
mule since the war?
He never stops to fight flies as q
horse does, because his hide Is tougher
He Is just as gentle as a horse if he
has not been spoiled in breaking.
His age cuts little figure in a sale.
Nobody cares much how old mule is.
He will bring from $3.50 to $3.50 when
he Is full grown If he Is big and
smooth and strong.-FarTn World.

Tobacco Eor Lius Stock.

According to Joseph E. Wing. In the

to live stock. This we'll known writer
on live stock subjects says that each
sheep should have its daily chevy of
tobacco. He claims that tobacco is a
sure cure for the nodular disease,
which to sheep men will sound very
much like miracle. He says to buy
from the factories cheap, damaged to-
bacco leaves or stems and cuttings
from cigar factories at an expense of
about 4 cents per pound and feed In
troughs with little salt sprinkled on
the tobacco. A few mouthfuls for each
sheep once or twice each week will
keep the animals healthy, he claims.
