soft Corn Poor Horse Feed.

There has been an uncommon ia.
tality among colts this spring, and
horsemen have not found the cause
of the trouble. In discussing this
matter with. prominent farmer few
days ago, he attributed the whole
trouble to feeding soft and moldy corn
to the mares. 1t is a well-known
fact that moldy grain and hay will
sometimes cause abortion, says Farm
ers' Voice. While this immature corn
was frozen it could be fed to all kinds
of stock without much danger, but as
soon as warmer weather came on and
the corn thawed out, then the trouble
began. 1t is rather late now to head
off the trouble, but the lesson is well
worth remembering when another sea-
son Of soft corn comes around.

Value of Mulchina Vines.

Often squash, cucumber and melon
vines do not make rank, healthy
growth after the hot weather sets in
Their roots are small and fibrous and
naturally grow near the surface, where
they are soon burned by the sun, un-
less the plants have grown rank
enough to shade the ground well.
We find there is no trouble of this
kind when the ground is mulched with
hay, straw or litter before the vines
have begun to run. In the case of
cucumbers this is especially valuable,
as the "cukes" are so clean, never
coming in contact with the soil.

No Short Cut to Nationality.


There is no short cut to Philippine
nationality. It's attainment Is a long
task. calling for infinite patience ana
self-control. The population must
greatly increase and must effectively
occupy the entire archipelago, satls-
factory relations with the Pagan and
Mohammedan peoples must be estab
lished, education must do its WORK
and the social order be entirely trans
formed, before the basis OF natlonal
life is laid. Yet the aspiration LOT
national existence cannot justly be dis
couraged. 1t is the motive power under
which the greatest of popular tri-
umphs have been achieved, writes Dr.
David P. Barrows, in his History
of the Philippines" The situation
Is one peculiarly delicate, and yet
full of the greatest promise. There
Is every reason why both Americans
and Filipinos should hold their tasks
with constant devotion and watchful'
ness over self There could be no bet
ter motto for all who are engaged IN
this undertaking than the words
Of Secretary of War Taft, on whom,
more than on any other man, rests the
immediate future of the Philippines:

It is not fulfilled until it is entirely

soILlNe OPERATIONS.
Points In Favor of This System OF Cat
tie Raising and Dalrying.

What we call "soiling" is keeping
animals away from pasturage and
bringing their green food to them.
Soiling is common in thickly-settled
countries. 1t Is almost unknown In
sparsely settled countries.
This is because in thickly-settled
countries land is expensive and labor
generally cheap, while in thinly-settled
countries the land is cheap and labor
high in price. In the thinly-settled
country therefore the cheapest thing
to do is to let the animals hunt their
own food.
AS fast as a country becomes set
tied 1t becomes more and more neces-
sary to get all possible out OF each
piece of land. In the case OF dairy
cows, soiling does this as compared to
pasturage. The chief reason is that
the ground that produces the green
food for cattle will produce a great
deal more when it is not tramped than
when 1t Is tramped.
Every pressure of the cows feet on
the soil compacts 1t and reduces, It's
power to produce food. Injury results
both in dry weather and in wet wealth
err. In dry weather the soil particles
are pressed together some, while in
wet weather the feet Of the animals
break the thin sod and compact the
soil below so that nothing will grow
Sometimes a bare hard spot in
pasture will remain for years unpro-
ductive. This is avoided by soiling,
and the land is made to produce its
greatest possible crop of grass.
But there Is another reason for soil
ing, and that is TO save the manure
from the cattle. When the manure Is
dropped on the pastures in dry wealth
er most of it is destroyed before 1t
gets into the soil. When the cows are
kept in one place throughout the sum-
mer the manure produced during that
time is as great as it is in the winter,
and it is put into the soil of the plowed
fields, thus saving practically all ct It,.
There are other factors in favor of
soiling where land is very valuable.
One of these, says the Farmers Re-
view, is that crops other than grass
can be grown on the land and great
er amount of dry matter obtained than
in the case of grass.
One of these plants is Indian corn,
which can be grown for soiling pur-
poses far north of the latitude where
it can be grown for the maturing OF
seed. Many of our dairymen that have
tried soiling have been able to produce
Is tons to the acre for either green
feeding or silage making.
This makes it possible to keep on
the samI piece of land more COWS than
can be kept if the cows are pastured
in the summer and fed hay in winter
Soilng makes it possible for good
sized herds of COWS to be kept in the
edges of cities where it is possible tc
get mixers at a low price. In fact
it is quite probable that this is to be
one of the directions in which Gun
dairying is to be greatly developed IL
! the near future.

has promptly denied the report
He says be earnestly advocated the
primary law and that it will stand
to the end. Then he says, let
the other fellows say as much. "
Well, they have already said as
much, and Governor Folk nus
made his position so clear on this
point in all his speeches that there
can be no installing his attitude.
1t is Democratic principle. For
years the Democratic party has
been cOntending for the principle
of electing United States Senators
by popular vote and urging the
adoption of an amendment to the
Federal Constitution looking to
that end. In the absence Of such
an amendment the primary plan
carries out the spirit of that prln.
voters OF the party nom.
mate their choice for Senator, and
their representatives in the Gener.
oil Assembly carry out the expressed
will Of the majority. 1t is prac-
tically an election by popular vote.
Neither Senator Stone nor Cover
ner Folk, as Democrats, could af.
ford to antagonize this principle,
nor could the members of the Leg.
islature afford to ignore the will OF
the people expressed by the voters
in a primary on this matter. The
primary brings popular govern.
ment closer to the people and puts
an end to that political bossism
which so often in conventions and
Legislative bodies 0verrides the will
and sentiment of the people. II a
majority of the Democratic voters
favors Senator Stone for re. election
he ought to be elected. il the next
Legislature is Democratic on joint
ballot. If a majority favors Gov.
ernor Folk, he ought to be elected,
and will be.

though Missouri farmers carried of
some Of the very best premiums at

~ so well represented as 1t should
have been.
The coming Exposition at Omaha
is on n much broader scope than the
first one and will include not only
corn but other cereals aS well. The

and many states are taking definite
action regarding the matter. Omaha
