National Republican League.

Cincinnati, O., Sept. 22.-The bien-
NAL convention of the National Repub
lican League met in this city today
and was called to order by President
John Hays Hammond of Massachu-
sets. The initial session was devot-
ed to welcome addresses and re-
sponses, the committee appointments
and other business of a routine char
acter. The attendance at the conven-
ton is large and is likewise remark
able for the number of prominent
men who are among the delegates.
Much interest centers in the conven-
ton banquet, at which William H.
Taft, candidate for the presidency, is
to be one of the speakers.

ance are marked by religious services.
This week is really the Thanksgiving
festival which is largely analogous to
the modern harvest home. 1t par
takes in nowise of the nature of the
two preceding holy days and is con-
nected with them only in time. This
feast belongs rather to the cycle of
the three pilgrimages, concluding the
Passover, the Penticost and the Feast
of Tabernacles.
As stated in the sixteenth chapter
of Deuteronomy: "Three times year
you shall appear before God" on
these occasions (of course during the
existence of the Hebrew state) every
Hebrew who could, assembled in Je
rusalem; so they were political, eco
nomic and social as well as religious
in their character.
Added to the forming what might
be called the eighth day of the Feast
of Tabernacles was another celebra-
ton known as the Feast of Conclu-
sion, which in the Hebrew is Shemi-
nj Atzereth, which, according to the
Biblical Injunction, winds up the
cycle In past Biblical times, not con-
tent with this the rabbis inaugurated
a further celebration which they call
ed the Feast of the Rejoicing of the
Law.-Simchas Torah.

THE HEBREWS NEWYEAR
Annual Cycle of Jewish Festivities Be-
gins Next Friday When Year
1868 Will Be Ushered In.

The Jewish festival of New Year
falls this year on September %, and
the celebration of the still more i'm
portant feast, Yom Kippur, or the day
of atonement, will take place ten days
later.
The celebration of Rosh Hoshanah
or new years, as is the case with all
Jewish festivals, begins at sunset with
services in the synagogues.
General Custom.
1t seems to have been general Gus
tom among semitic peoples to count
their years as beginning in the fall
synchronous with the harvest festi-
val, and, since all semitic people ar
range their calendar according to the
phases of the moon, it can be readily
understood why, following the ancient
custom, the Jewish new year occurs in
the fall. And because of this discrep-
ancy between the lunar and solar
years there is a few days variation
from year to year in the date of the
celebration according to current calen-
dar.
Different from the ordinary concep-
ton Rosh Hoshanah has deep relig-
ious significance. 1t is called in the
Bible the day of remembrance, the day
of md hn Of
the shofar, or trumpet. 1t is more
than anything else really the prepare
ton for the great Yom Kppur, or
day of atonement.
Days of Penitence.
The days between Rosh Hoshanah
and Yom Kippur are being known as
the awful days, or the ten days of
penitence, each of which is observed
as half-fast day by the more or
thodox Jews, while the Yom Kippur
itself is invariably observed as COM
plete fast
The rabbinical allegory that on Rosh
Hoshanah God commands the record
ing angel to open the books of each,
ones sins and merits, leaving the rec-
ord open to be finally and irrevocably |
closed on the Yom Kippur. indicates
at once the significance of the day |
and the appropriateness of calling the
new year the day of remembrance
judgment and of blowing the shofar.
Blowing of shofar.
Perhaps the most distinguishing fea-
ture in the ritual of Rosh Hoshanah
is the blowing of the shofar. The
shofar is made of curved rams horn,
and as in earlier times the blowing of
the horn was resorted to as a signall
for preparing for war, assembling forl
special purposes and particularly to
announce religious ceremonies. The
custom of blowing the shofar in the-
synagogue has been retained. Thed
blowing of the shofar on Rosh Hosh-
anah is the signal for each soul toll
rouse itself, consider its past, reflect
upon its deserts and prepare to be
more worthy in the future.
In the law commanded in theT|
twenty-third chapter of Leviticus it is
said that God in the observance of
day observed: When vel
shall afflict your souls'' The meant
ing of the words is rather obscure, but
the early rabbis interpreted them toll
mean abstinence from food, hence,
lasting has become the universal Gus.

The Bone Mill.

1t is surprising that every farmer
that has fowls does not have a bone
mill Bones cannot be utilized with
out being ground, and they contain
a large amount of food ingredients.
Bones contain much lime and this is
very necessary to the fowl dropping
large number of eggs during the
year. Bones also contain phosphorus,
and this is not found in as large guam
titles in some other foods. The green
bones also contain considerable of
nitrogen. Altogether the use of bones
ground or cut is to be recommended.
Moreover, large quantities Of the
bones are constantly going to waste.
Why throw away bones which may
be of such value in the poultry estab-
lishment? Their manurial value is
also made available after they have
been used by the fowls.

COWPEAS FOR LAWNS.
Grown and PIoWed Under They Help
Get Good Stand of Grass.

The great value of cowpeas as a nj
trogen gatherer and natural fertilizer
has long been known. Their impor-
tance in making lawns should be
better understood. Under the most
favorable conditions it is quite seri-
Gus task to get a lawn well started.
The usual result of digging the cellar
and grading the lawn is that the good
soil is removed or covered with sub
soil. Cowpeas will mellow such soil
and put fertility into it sooner and
more effectively than any other plant.
In the South cowpeas are exten-
sively used for this purpose. In the
villages and small cities one sees a
crop of cowpeas in front of the new
houses everywhere. Usually one
crop is enough to prepare the soil
for lawn grasses, but on very poor
soil two crops may be required. The
soil is thereby put into the right
physical condition, nitrogen and hui
mus are added and weeds are choked
out completely.

MAKING ICE AT HOME.
How 1t Can Be Done During the
Severe Cold Weather.

Secure several vessels with flaring
pals and clean them thoroughly Then
when the first severe freezing wea-
ther sets in place these vessels, filled
with clean well water to depth of
one foot in exposed places. One or
two nights of freezing will convert the
water into a solid cake of ice and
about 20 tubs will make ton.
% secure clear ice stir the water
vigorously for while before allow
ing to freezes 10 cause the air to
leave it. When frozen solid set the
tub for a moment in some boiling wat
er and the cake can be removed cas-
lily. Place these blocks into storage
at once and refill the tubs. A few
DAYS of zero weather will in this way
provide several tons Of good ice. Four
or five tons will supply an average
family for the entire summer.
If you have no good ice house, Farm
and Home suggests the inclosing of a
storage bin in the corner of the barn.
Build a box on the north side of the
barn and protect it with a good layer
of straw or hay. Provide for drainage
and ventilation with an opening for
removing the ice at the top. A space
ten feet each way will hold eight to
ten tons. Pack we'll in sawdust and
cover the whole with pile of hay and
YOU will have ice all summer.

INITIATIVE IN FARMING.
1t Is the Ability to, Originate New
Metkcds.

What is called initiative" is the
that new thing being suggested by
the example Gr the words of another
Few people comparatively have this
power of initiative. The ones that
have it are the ones that lead in new
enterprises. The faculty is acquired
by study and by using methods to get
the mind out of the ruts. Initiative is
needed on the farm as we'll as else
where. II is difficult thing for a
farmer to begin any entirely new
process, yet the beginning of new
process in farming is often revolu-
tionary in it's effects. Because men
find it so difficult to originate new
thoughts is the reason why the de-
velopment of the race has been slow
up to the last hundred years, in which
time this quality of the mind has been
greatly stimulated Perhaps this has
in itself been due to imitation, the
world desiring to initiate the men that
have made great successes by initia
ting new things. In the domain oi
farming, says Farmers Review, we
have had the illustrious example OF
such men as have brought to light the
presence of the tubercle of the legu-
minous plants, and those that have
shown the way to raise sub-tropical
plants in our northern climate. Initia-
tive in farming will yet give us new
processes of which our minds have
not yet formed a conception.

A Wisconsin farmers method of
getting a good stand of clover is to
SOW nurse crop in the spring with
his clover seed on finely pulverized
land worked down solid. He plants
from two to three quarts of Alsike
clover seed to the acre and from four
to five quarts of red clover seed to
the acre. After the crop is seeded
during the first year he leaves it en-
tirely alone. keeping stock off and in
the fall the grain is allowed to come
to maturity.

The Iowa state board of agriculture
at its last meeting offered over $3.50
in cash for the best ears of corn
There were prizes for single ears and
for collections, and judges awarded
these prizes on scale of points such
as would be used in Judging live
stock. Some of the ears which were
most favorably considered were
smaller than the best to be found in
an eastern cornfield, yet it was easily
demonstrated that on the best of
these ears the corn was so packed
that the yield was astonishing.
