ces in favor of a Bryan victory.
The candidacy of Governor john
son in Minnesota, the demand for tar
if revision, the guaranteeing Of bank
deposits, and the large, Scandinavian
population in Minnesota, and North
and South Dakota, make these states
doubtful. and should give Bryan an
even break with his opponent.
Nebraska Is Safe.
Bryans personal popularity and the
plank guaranteeing bank deposits
make Nebraska absolutely safe for the
democracy Democrats have no mis-
givings whatever about Mr.. Bryans
home state. Kansas is unquestionably
as strong for Bryan today as it was
in 1896. Kansas wants tariff revision.
Kansas wants bank deposits guaran-
teed. and Kansas doesn't want
Joecannonism. The Kansas farmers
are for Bryan and will carry the state
for him, labor will help and so will
the colOred men of the state whose
support Taft has alienated by his at
titude toward the race.
Colorado has always stood loyalty
by Bryan and there is no reason to be-

year. Democrats regard it as safe. wy

are also the three Pacific coast states

form is silent, there is good chance

overcome.

THE PAINTING SEASON.

Good results in painting at the least
cost depend largely upon the material
chosen. Paint is simple compound
and the ingredients can be easily test
ed. The solid part or pigment should
be White Lead. The liquid part
should be Linseed Oil Those best in
formed on painting always buy these
ingredients separately and have their
painter mix them fresh for each job.
Before the mixing the test is made.
Place a pea-sized bit of White Lead
on a piece of charcoal or piece of
wood. Blow the flame against it and
see what it will do. If it is pure
White Lead, little drops of bright, pure
metallic lead will appear, and with pa
thence the White Lead can be COM
pletely reduced to one globule of metal
lie lead. This is because pure White
Lead is made from metallic lead
You may test dozens of other So
called White Leads and not be able
to reduce one of them to lead If they
will not change wholly to lead but
leave a residue, it is clear that some
adulterant is present.
If you should have your painting
done with such materials, no matter
how cheap they might seem, it would
be costly in the end.
National Lead Company, Wood
bridge Building, New York City, are
sending on request blowpipe free to
any one about to have painting done,
so that the White Lead may be test
ed. With it will be sent a handsomely
printed booklet having as its Fronts
piece the Dutch Boy Painter" re-
produced from the original painting.
This little painter has become noted
as the guaranty of pure White Lead.

THE LIVING ROOM.
II Should at All Times Be "Livable"
Room.

What to do with the living room is
keeper. The living room should be
in fact as we'll as in name a living
room-a livable room. 1t is the room
in which the most of our time at
home is spent the hours we have for
leisure, the time We have for play,
friends and it is absolutely essential
that the walls and furnishings of the
living room should be harmonious in
color suitable in texture, and durable
in material.
The rich, soft, solid colored walls
are the ideal walls for the living
rooms. They make a better back
ground for pictures. throw the furni
ture out in better relief, are less dis
cordant with rugs and carpeting, and
indicate a higher degree of taste and
culture than do the colored mon
strosties which we paste on when we
apply wall paper
Who ever saw roses climbing up
plastered wall growing out of hard
wood floor? Yet, that is what we
suggest to the imagination when we
paste paper covered with roses on
our walls. They are neither artistic
nor true. Roses are all very beauti-
full, but they were never made to
climb up interior walls and they do
not grow from hardwood flooring.
The set figures of wall paper are also
tiresome and equally disagreeable and
repellant.
The alabastined wall is the only
correct form Of tinted or solid col
ored wall. Fortunately it is the only
clean way, and more fortunately it is
the only permanent way; the only
way that does not involve the end
less labor in the future.
In lighting the walls some thought
reflect $50 of the light thrown upon
them. Dark colors reflect but 1870.
Lighting bills can be saved by choos-
ing a color which will reflect the
largest degree of light. In north
rooms use warm colors or colors
which reflect light. In south and
west rooms sometimes the light can
be modified by the use of darker
colors. Dark green's absorb the light;
light yellows reflect it; browns mod
ify it, and so on, through the scale
of colors. The color scheme of a
room not only is dependent upon the
color of the carpetings but it is also
dependent upon the light Of the room.

THE BOOK FARMER.
How One May Avoid Book Farming.


Every now and then we find far.
mer who has a horror OF book farmers
and would not for any consideration
be considered by his neighbors az
such. We wish to help this fellow, and
therefore make few suggestions:
First, we advise him not to keep
any books for his farm operations.
Simply go along from year to year,
taking what you get without knowing
what it costs you, avoiding all accu-
rate knowledge of what it has cost YOU
10 produce a ton of hay, bushel OF
wheat or oats, a pound of pork or beef
or butter. Such information as this is
dangerous to the man who is fearful
of being a book farmer.
Don't take any agricultural papers.
They, too, are dangerous, for they
might set You thinking. They might
contaminate your mind with the result
OF experiment stations or the expert
ence of farmers. If you read any ag-
rtculture paper at all, read one that
somebody has sent you for nothing in
order to get your trade or your patron
age, or for some other reason. honor
able or dishonorable. This will not do
you much harm, but better not take
any at all.
By all means keep away from all
agricultural Institutes. Avoid particu-
larly any lectures that have the Least
tinge of science. 1t is true that sci
ence is only the application of com
mon sense TO farm operations, and
that it only teaches how to obey the
laws of nature; but science smacks of
book farming, and, therefore, every
thing that has the remotest connec-
ton with science should be avoided
Keep away from farmers institutes.
To further avoid any possible dan
ger of becoming book farmer try to
find fault with the operations of your
neishbors. If your neighbor across
the fence has eighty bushels of corn
this year while you have only forty,
try 10 explain it in some way that will
not be a reflection on your own prac-
tice You might say that this land
was better to begin with. that he was
lucky, or that he happened TO plant
Just in the right sign" You can cas-
lily explain his success without giving
any credit whatever to what is known
as book farming. You can also ex-
plain why he raises large litters of
pigs. or has large yields of milk, or
gets better weigh. and better prices
for his steers Cultivate the DISPOSE
ton to find fault, and criticize in every
way possible.
If these directions are followed, we
will guarantee that the man who fol-
lows them will not be regarded as

Homegrown feed is large element
of success in running a dairy
1t is better to have a small dairy,
all paid for. than to have one all bur-
dened with debt. however large it is,
and however well appointed.
1t is never safe to go into debt. 1t
is better to buy small and then en-
large. To cut the garment according
to the size Of your cloth is a safe old
adage
The covered pail is so much better
than the open pail that the extra
amount of trouble should not be con-
sidered a hardship
To do work by guess in the dairy is
to invite failure. The processes are
so scientific that any variation makes
variations in the results.

under their wings for lice, and grease
them with a little sulphur and lard,
