W. II. TAFT FOR PRESIDENT
Ohio Man is Chosen on First Ballot
Amid Uproar of Enthusiasm.

Ohio Man is Chosen on First Ballot
Amid Uproar Of Enthusiasm.
Chicago, June 1S.-For president of
the United States, William H. Taft of
Ohio.
Taft on the first ballot; Taft by 702
votes; Taft by the unanimous choice
of the convention.
Such is the result of the culminat-
ing day Of the Republican national
convention OF 1908, effected amid
scenes of tumultuous enthusiasm and
after a nerve-racking continuous ses-
sion lasting nearly eight hours.
The picture within the walls of the
amphitheater as the presidential oan-
didate was named was one truly
to the right and left, below and above
the billowing sea Of humanity, restless
after hours of waiting and stirred
from one emotion to another, was in
fever of expectancy for the culminat-
ing vote. The favorite sons of other
states had been named, save Knox and
LaFollette, and now on the roll call
came Ohio. AS the Buckeye state was
reached, the tall, gaunt form of Theo-
dore B. Burton advanced to the plat
form to nominate Ohio's candidate,
He spoke fervently with the singing
voice of an evangelist, which went
ringing through the great building.
was the signal for loosing the long
pent up feeling of the Taft legions.
Instantly the Ohio delegates were on
their feet, other Taft states following
while the convention hosts, in gallery
and on floor, broke into mad demon
stration
Taft, Taft, W.-H-Taft," came in
a roar from the Ohioans. Megaphones
seemed to spring from concealed
places and swell the Taft tumult into
thunder. A huge blue silk banner,
bearing the familiar features of the
tatesman-secretary, was swung before
the delegates, awakening a fresh
| whirlwind of enthusiasm.
All semblance of order had been
abandoned and the delegates arena
was maelstrom of gesticulating men.
The guidons of the states were
snatched up by the Taft enthusiasts
or borne under by the storm of disor-
der. The band was inaudible-a mere
whisper above the deafening volume
of sound. For ten, fifteen, then twen-
ty minutes this uproar continued. 1t
was a repetition of the scene when
the name of Roosevelt broke the con-
vention into a frenzy, repeated in in
tensity and almost in duration. But
there is limit to physical resources
of throat and lung, relays had not
been established and at last the tired
voices died down to hoarse shout
and at last subsidized.
This lull now gave the opportunity
for the speech seconding Taft's nomi-
nation by George A. Knight of Califor-
mia, his big, round face beaming forth
on the sympathetic multitude and his
splendid baritone voice swelling forth
like the tones of great church or
gan. CALIFORNIA; tribute to Taft was
brief and fervid. Now there was an.
other lull In the Taft movement, while

Yet nothing has added so much to
his just fame as his persistent and ir-
revocable refusal to break the I'M
written law of the republic by accept
ing nomination for third term. By
his act of self abnegation he places
his name and fame in the secure keep
ing of history by the side of that OF
the immortal Washington"

The finer the soil is pulverized the
better it will retain moisture, which

The soil should be a mellow loan

For some of the garden crops this
may be supplemented by the addition
of some of the commercial fertilizers

Testinu the Cows,

1t takes just a few days to find out
how much a COW is worth. In a recent
Kansas test, covering the COWS of 81
creamery patrons, the best COWS made
$4209 per cow, while the poorest ones
made only $7.54 per cow--a difference
Of $3455 per COW.
Large stock raisers will watch with
a good deal of interest the govern
ment'S scientific reseeding experi--
ments on several of the national for
est ranges next spring and summer,
to determine under what conditions
and in what manner those portions of
the range which have been seriously
damaged by overgrazing may be re-
stored to their former productiveness.
A great deal of the range land in the
west is overgraZed and does not carry
as much stock as formerly. The
ly sheep, is perhaps more responsible
for this condition than any other
cause. But all cases of deterioration
and all means for improving the forage
crop need to be studied, that the rang
may be brought into the best condi-
ton to meet the imperative demand of
the live stock industry.
Some farmers who are becoming
handy in the use OF cement are build

BARNS THAT ARE HANDY.
Edgar L. Vincent Suggests That I'M
provements Can Be Made.

folks have such awfully hard barns to
get around in?'
Well, sir, that was a fair question,
and I wish 1 might have answered my
boy; but l couldn't, just because don t
know myself why it is that so many
barns about the country are terribly
hard to work in.
Take the one we were in at that mo-
ment for example. There was no lad
der in the whole building When you
wanted to go up overhead you just
had to shin up a post or swing your
self from one beam and get to another.
1t takes better athlete than l am to
do that right along and stand it. Think
or the waste of strength! And then,
there was no way to get down from
the big barn floor to the basement.
You had to travel away round out of
doors, no matter what the weather
might be. All because there were no
stairs.
! Now, when we built our barn we
made plans for plenty of good stairs.
One pair leads from the first floor
down to the basement. We are never
compelled to go out of doors to get
pair of stairs leads up to the hay loft.
No steep, hard stairs are they either,
| but good easy ones, that anybody can
get up comfortably.
And then, the barn my boy and ]
were in that day had the worst scat
folds you most ever saw. They were
made of the slabs of logs, laid with
the rounding side up. You can i'm
egine how slippery such a scaffold
would get to be in the course of time.
1t was almost as much as ones life
was worth to try to skate around on
those treacherous slabs. My life was
not insured so l did not try it.
II any part of barn ought to be
secured against accidents it should
be the scaffolds. They are high
fall from them might mean death, or
at least lifelong injury and suffering.
The boards ought to be carefully laid
down and strong enough so that there
would be no danger of breaking.
Another point often overlooked in
| the construction of barns is convent
ence in foddering l have been in
barns where every spear of hay lad
! to be dragged two or three rods over
/ the floor before it could be put through
the shute to the cattle. And one barn
l know of is so made that the farmer
must haul the hay as much as rs feet
to get it to the stock! A terrible
waste of time and strength. What
wonder that farmers wear themselves
out long before their time.
By little foresight the shutes may
! be put in so that one may stand on
the NOW and send the hay right down
! to the feeding floor The sides of the
shute may be so built that they may
be taken off as the NOW goes down
to avoid lifting the hay high in the
air.
Barns ought to be handy to the
house, too. Sometimes we see them To-
Gated quarter of mile away What
an amount of travel one must go
through in the course of a lifetime on
! farms like that!
The first thing to be done, as ]
/ look at it, continues Mr.. Vincent in
Farmers Voice. is to sit down and
make a good plain diagram of the
barn. Anyone can do that if he ever
has had a bit of experience in doing
work at a barn. A little time at this
point will save years of hard and alto
| gether unnecessary labor

Do your best and be lucky.
A good farmer is one who under
stands his trade and works at it.
Put the brood sOws by themselves
when they begin to get pretty large.
! Next seasons work will go off
smoother if you think out the tasks
ahead
Keen the barn clean, the cow clean
feed clean food and then see that the
mixer is clean.
Dairying is the one branch in which
nc man should engage who has not a
real liking for COWS.
4 The COWS are entitled to as good
care as that given the horse, and are
just as appreciative of such treat
ment
AS far as is possible seeds and nur-
sery stock should be produced in the
localities where they are to be planted
and grown.
The best breed for you is the ore
which will do best under the condi-
tions your place affords, and which
will find the readiest market.
Clean milk means more than the
handling of the milk after it comes
from the barn. All the care in the
world cannot atone for carelessness
by the mixer.
The successful poultryman is the
man who knows his flock so we'll as
to be constantly wedding out the culls
and drones, and marketing them to
! pay their overdue board bill.
Pure water on the farm Have you
got it? 1t may look clear and good,
/ but are you sure the we'll is so locat-
ed that it is not being contaminated
by surface water or some other
agency?
The soiled and dirty clothing worn
about the farm during the day should
! not be worn when ths milking is
/ done. Have an extra suit Of overalls
which are used only for milking, and
which are washed often
Different crops require different
degrees of moisture The potato needs
