ADVANTAGE Of Early Matches.

The early matches make the winter
layers. These birds usually mott about
the middle to the latter part of Septem-
Der and are therefore in full feather
by the time cold weather sets in and
are better equipped to begin laying
during the early winter than those
which do not begin to mott till la-e.
Chicks Matched the latter part Of May
or during the month of June do not be-
gin to mott till the middle of Novem-
Der and are never in full feather when
the cold weather sets in. AS a result
they contract disease or lose flesh.

Our insnrgent friends assume to
say That Senator Kfttredpe lost out
In the recent primaries. If a light
was precIpitated personally On the
senator, such would have been the
case. However, the fight in the
campaign up to the March primaries
was for the purpose OF securing a
solid Taft delegation for tbs national
convention. Senator Kittrcdge was
the first public Official who declared
himself for Taft's candidacy, and
because Of that declaration the in
surgents In this state commenced
to show a DISPOSITION to be ayersc 10
Taft's candidacy. When the big
meeting Of the Rooseselt-Taft
League was held In this city the
latter part Of January the stalwart
republicans went on record In a
manner to indicate that they were
for the big secretary. Up TO that
time the insurgents had shown no
willingness to support him, but
when the republican state central
committee met at Huron one day
after the Mitchell meeting. the In
surgent majority on the committee
announced that they would support
Secretary Taft, and the sentiment
then was solidifed and made abso-
lntely certain by the result of the
March primaries. Secretary Taft
will get the South Dakota delegation
pledged to his support. That Is
what Senator Kittredge was fighting
Tor and that Is just the victory that
he has won. Hereafter the senator
will devote his time to his personal
campaign for reelection to the
United States senate.

FEEDING Dat. as Hay.

An Iowa farmer thinks thrashing
oats is a waste. He says: l have DEM
onstrated to my satisfaction that oats
to be fed on the farm to any live stock
except Lorses at hard work should be
cut when quite green-the kernel in
the dough stage or when the first joint
of the stalk is yellow-and fed straw
and all. To thrash oats that are to be
Ted on the farm except for the purpose
already named is a waste of money.
and therefore l cannot afford 1t. and I
doubt If any farmer can.

Care Of chick..

Little chicks should have plenty Of
exercise. but it is not advisable to al
low them to run in the tall grass be-
fore the dew has dried away. Keep
them in the coop till after 8 a. m,
then turn them out and allow them to
run. IL it is not desirable to allow the
hen to rum, stretch n long wire and
tie the hen to a ring. so she can pass
from one end OF it to another.

will be made OF tucked net or mechIin.
The lace guimpe is true friend to all
women who value their good looks, and
IT opens up splendid possibilities for
those who have to consider sartorial
ways and means. We used to speak
rather slightingly of the woman who

guimpes the jumper style of gown is
much to the fore. but the short sleeves
