Cleveland Ghost Story.

Republican editors in Ohio, and
elsewhere, have grabbed at that
spurious ''posthumous statement
of Grover Cleveland" like drown
ing men grasping at straws.
A bureau editorial published in
many Republican papers says
"The declaration of Grover Cleve-
land, made a few days before his
death, that William H. Taft would,
and ought to be, the next presi
dent of the United States, has
created a profound impression
throughout the country"
Anybody who knows anything
about the peculiarly individual
style of diction in all of Mr.. Cleve.
lands writings, knows that this
fake "death-bed prophecy" is a
bungling attempt to initiate the
man who made such phrases as
"inocuous desuetude.
But suppose 1t were true that
Mr.. Cleveland actually made such
statement. 1t takes unlimited
gall for Republican editors to con.
jure the ghost of Grover Cleveland
from it's grave to make stump
speeches for Taft.
1t was only fifteen years ago,
under just such times as we are
having now after twelve years of
uninterrupted Republican control
of all branches of the government,
that these same Republican edi-
tors were calling him "The Stuffed
Prophet of Williams Street." car

Queen Lii, and announcing every
bank failure as "Another bank
gone Democratic" with big type,
announcing every grocery assign.
ment as "Another grocery gone
Democratic with big type, and
announcing every failure as an
other Democratic catastrophe.
While these ghouls, who have no
more respect for the living than
they had for the dead, who do not
hesitate to drag the dead ex-presi-
dents ghost from the grave to
make votes for Taft by putting
forged statements into a dead
mans mouth, every living member
of Grover Cleveland's cabinet ex-
cept Carlisle's is actively at work
trying to make votes for Bryan,
and one of them is Democratic
for governor of Ohio.
If this doesn't silence the ghouls
on their posthumous Cleveland
canard it is because disrespect for
both the living and the dead has
paralyzed what conscience they
may have had.-Post.

Air Ship Certain.

Washington, Sept 9--Orville
Wright, in three phenomenal
flights at Fort Myer to-day estab-
lished new aeroplane records that
not only assure the success of the
official trials before the army
board, but indicate that aerial
flight is now only matter Of do
velopment.
War on land and sea will find in
the aeroplane, 1t is now conceded
by military men, valuable means
of reconn aissance and possibly car
mage.
Two flights of approximately
one hour each and another fight
T. In which two men were whirled
through the air for upward of six
minutes were the achievements Of
the Wright brothers aeroplane to-
day.
That these flights, record break
ing as they were, will even be sur
rassed by Orville Wright during
his trials at Fort Myer is conf
IDENTIFY predicted.
The first flight, made this morn
ing, in which the machine circled
the drill grounds at the fort 81
times in 81 minutes and 81 sec
onds, was surpassed this evening
when flight of SO minutes and Is
seconds was made.
Not satisfied with breaking all
distpnce and time records for a
heavier. than-air flying machine,
Mr.. Wright took Lieutenant Frank
p. Lahm, the aeronaut of the sig
nal corps, for spin around the
drill grounds, and made new re-
cord for two-man flight.
All this happened so quickly
and unostentati ously that the
spectators, among whom were
members of the cabinet and high
officers of the army and navy,
could hardly realize that history
had been made and that new era
in the progress of the civilized
world was begun.
The morning fight was witnessed
by only handful of enthusiasts,
but the news spread so rapidly
that fully 1000 persons gathered
on the military reservation ocross
the Potomac from the National
capitol to see the afternoon event.
At SIG, as the sun was dlsap
pearlng below the Virginia hori
zon, the latest invention of man to
challenge the laws of nature rose
grandly into space and sailed over
the greensward of the drill grounds.
Higher and higher it rose,
turned at Il slight angle as the
aviator brought it around at the
far side of the field and raced along
at increasing speed There was
hardly culver of the aeroplane
in the first few rounds of the field,
Mr.. Wright evidently having the
steering apparatus we'll in hand.
Rising and lowering at will, the
sight of the man-built bird was
most impressive. Round after
round the machine travelled on,
cutting short turns, shooting along
the ST. etches and presenting some
what the appearance Of an auto
mobile racing about an imaginary
course in the air.

PROFITS OF pAIRYING.
Are OF Several Kinds and Are
Cumulative.

The profits in dairying are Of sew
eral kinds, and are cumulative. The
money received for the dairy products
represents but part of the receipts.
The fertility that goes onto the land
is very important receipt and begins
to make compound interest as soon as
1t gets into the soil
The cash profits from dairying are
small. but they come in every month
of the year. The farmer that is en-.
gagged in dairying can pay his bills
about as he goes and get better bar.
gains by so doing. This is another
kind of profit.
The man who has a well-eQuipped
dairy can utilize his help and save
loss of time and this is yet another
kind of profit that is overlooked.
The dairyman always has a large
amount Of manure to use on the early
crops in the spring. for most dairy
farmers do some work of this kind
The plants get good early start. ant
the products are marketed early, get
ting the benefit OF the earliest prices
This is another profit that should bt
credited to dairying.

Nothing is more certain than that

its continued increase Is for every

animals has been demonstrated many
times. 1t is equally certain that the
diseased milk gives the disease to
human beings, of whom some are
more susceptible to the disease than
others.
The surest way to prevent the
spread of tuberculosis in herds Is to
keep the animals out of doors as much
as possible and to heat to the boiling
point all milk fed from animals. I'M
less the milk is known to be free from
the germs.

Feeding Calves

The Journal of the British board of
agriculture says that Probably IA
month is as long as it is advisable to
feed calves on whole milk on dairy
farm or until they have reached about
100 pounds, live weight, or 96 pounds
of veal. This weight may be attained
In a month, provided the calves are
fatted as quickly as possible; but one
cannot expect to do 1t unless the
calves are fed three times day An
effort should also be made to have the
calves fat at the time veal commands
a high price; otherwise the returns
from vealing on whole milk may not

How II Can 30 Used to Dehorn the
Calves

Experiments recently concluded at
the Nebraska station show some In
teresting results in regard to the re-
spective gains made by horned and de-
horned steers. During period of sew
eral months and under varying
weather conditions the horned steers
made slightly larger gain but the
greater value of the dehorned steers
as feeders still made them the most
profitable. Furthermore, from the time
they entered the feed lot until they
were slaughtered the dehorned would
continue to have the advantage. There
would be less danger from injury dur
ing the feeding period and they would
bring higher price on the open mar
ket. Upon our larger markets de-
horned steers will bring from 10 to 20
cents more per hundredweight than
horned steers of the same quality, due
largely to the fact that shippers do
not care to bid upon the horned Of
ferings.
Being convinced Of the advantages
of dehorning. urges the Farmer. the

Where the calves are raised on the

ten weeks and preferably at the age Of
four or six weeks. 1t Is advisable to
lay the cali down on Its side, SO that
in its struggles no portion of the pot

pair Of shears clip the hair away from
the region of the horn. After having
wrapped paper around one end of the
stick Of potash, dip the exposed end in
water and rub gently upon the ex-
tremity of the horn. The soft exterior

pushing the outer coating back until
the raw spot is about the size of a
dime, which is sufficient in most cases.
Care should be taken that no water
drips of from the end of the caustic
pencil, for II this gets upon the ten
der skin of the calf it makes an un-
necessary sore. The operator should
also observe caution and not get any
potash on his skin or In his eyes. Caus-
tic potash can be purchased at any
drug store in sticks about the size Of

easily dehorn from 20 to 80 calves.
When not in use the potash should be
kept in a bottle tightly corked. for If
left exposed 1t absorbs moisture from
the air and disintegrates rapidly.

CHAPTER xv.-continued.

The hearing OF testimony for the
state went on all through that day. 1t
was late when the state rested its
case-so late that the defence would
not be taken up until the following
day 1t was all in-for veal or for
woe In some way all of the states
witnesses-with the possible excep-
ton OF Munson, who would argue with
the angel Gabriel at the last day and
offer to give him lessons In trumpet
blowing-had been imbued with the
earnest, honest, straightforward policy
of the states counsel. Gordon's friends
were hopeful. Langford was jubilant
and he believed in the tolerable in
tegrity of Gordon's hard-won jury
Gordon's presentation of the case thus
far had made him friends; tickle
friends, maybe, who would turn when
the wind turned-to-morrow- true
1t was that when court adjourned late
in the afternoon, many who had jeered
at him as visionary or an unwel
come meddler acknowledged to them
selves that they might have erred in
their judgment.
AS on the previous night, Gordon
was tired. He walked aimlessly to a
window within the bar and leaned
against it, looking at the still, orpres-
sive, cloudy dampness outside. with
the early December darkness coming
on apace Lights were already twink
ling in kitchens where house wives
were busy with the evening meal.

Langford was called away for mo-
ment. When he returned, Gordon was
gone. He was not at supper
He went away on his horse" ex-
planned Louise, in answer to Lang

When the party separated for the
night, Gordon had not yet returned.

THE DAIRY COW.
Its Value Determined Very Largely
by Its Feeding as Calf.

Calves should be fed In such a way
gestion, for later on we are going to
ask them to take care of lot of feed

careless and harmful manner their di-
gestive faculties have been impaired,

am still believer. says F. H..
Scribner, that heifers should not fresh
en- too young If allowed to drop their
first calf at from % to 30 months of
age, they will get little more growth
and strength. and we believe their d.
gestive capabilities are also strenth-
ened
We have come to believe that a
large part is due to the feed end of
the question. The organs of digestion.
like the other organs and muscles of
the body. are developed best by cou-
slant use; the breeder who, through
neglect has not provided in some
way for the emergencies that always
come is shoIt-Sighted. We all know
that when COW once shrinks in her
milk how hard it is to get her back,
and quite often it is impossible, even
with the best of feed. So it stands us
in hand to provide in some way for
these times and either have some sol
ing crops growing, or enough silage
stored up to supplement the short
pasture of summer, also to supply sue
culent feed for the winter use.
l believe there is such a thing as
compelling success. Every breeder
should have a complete understanding
of his business and the individual
needs of each animal, so that there is
no time in the year when she may not
have an abundance of good, rich.
juicy foods best suited for milk pro-
duction.
