For Democracy Bryan is bound to be
the big figure, whether he is the can
didate or not. No man matches him
in the popular kind of eloquence, and
his fine voice, handsome face and mag
netic bearing give him a phenomenal
power to sway audiences. If Bryan Is
the nominee 1t Is probable that the
country will be stirred by another
speechmaking tour similar to the men,
orable one OF 1896.
And after the turmoil has subsided,
and business, collecting its scattered
wits, gets together at the beginning Of
1909 TO try to make up-the ground lost
in wasted year there will be new ad-
vocates for a bill introduced into Con-
gress recently by the venerable Sena-
tor Cullom Of Illinois, which provides
for an amendment to the constitution
making the term of the President six
years, limiting each incumbent to one
term, and thus decreasing 80 per cent
the recurrence Of the year Of politics.

Pntting Up sIIage.


Many people make the mistake OF
cutting corn too green for slage,
writes DR.. G. A. Billings in American
Agriculturist. At this stage there IS
larger percentage of water, and the
silage when taken out has a large
amount of acid, less starch and sugar
and hence is less nutritious. Corn
planted in drills with stalks eight 10
ten inches apart will mature a good
proportion Of ears.
Harvesting should not begin until
the ears are passing the roasting stage
and begin to glaze. Unless the season
is exceptionally dry the stalks and
leaves will remain green, but too ma
ture or dry corn is more liable to
mold. This may be found In spots
around the sides or more generally
over the silowherever the air has gain
ed access to cause the fungous growth.
This condition may be improved by
tramping the material carefully in the
siIo, adding water by sprinkling with
a hose, or If this is not available dl-
rect a stream of water into the blower
or elevator sufficient to saturate the
cut fodder. This moisture assists the
material to settle and acts as a seal
to keep out the air.
There should be labor and teams
enough to keep the cutter running
steadily. Nothing Is gained by cutting
a large amount of corn beforehand,
hauling and pillng near the machine
to be handled over again. Aim to har-
vest at the least expense ton. This
will be accomplished as follows: If
hand cutting is practiced, cut and hand
directly to the man loading, not throw
ing on the ground in bundles, which
will require an extra handling. Let
each load come to the table OF the ma
chine In turn, handling the corn direct
ly to the feeder. If the corn is long
and heavy an extra man is needed on
the table to assist.
Power should be ample and In pro-
portion to the size of the cutter. The
blower is replacing the elevator ma
chine, economlzing space and largely
doing away with the stopping of an
entire crew to repair the elevator. If
the corn Is heavy and the stalk large
cutting in half inch to one inch pieces
will have the tendency to partially
shred the stalk, and there will be no
butts refused by the animals.
Teh material In the sllo should be
kept level and well trampled. especial
ly around the sides Of the silo, and 1t
pays to have sufficient help for this
work. Where considerable silage is
put up 1t pays to have corn harvest

INDUSTRIES ARE REvIvING.
Workers of All Kinds Are Reported
in Great Demand.

Business throughout the United
States both commercial and Indus
trial, is reviving, according to Ter
ence V. Powderly, chief Of the divi-
sion Of information. bureau~of immi-
grafton. The division of information
was created by Congress as an agency
to divert immigration from the larger
cities, and find places for The unem-
poyed alien. The functions Of the
division have been enlarged, inasmuch
as Chief Powderly Is endeavoring to
provide work for Americans as well
as aliens.
From July last until early in Oc
tober 100000 requests were made upon
Chief Powderly to supply various
forms of labor for factory, railroad,
farm and industrial enterprises Of all
descriptions. About the middle of
October, when the financial disturb
ances became acute, many Of these
applications were Cancelled, CORE
spondents stating that instead Of need
Ing labor they were putting off men,
and that everything pointed to a pro-
longed period of depression.
Recently there has been renewal
Of the demand for labor. Chief Pow
derly says that this demand comes
from every section Of the country ;
that 1t calls for mechanics, mill oper-
atlves, factory hands, railroad bulllers
and farm laborers. From the agrcul-
tural States have come notice that in
the spring hundreds of thousands Of
farm hands will be needed, and that
every effort should be made by the gov
ernment at this time to see to it that
an adequate supply of labor Is provided
In the regions where 1t will be urgently
required.
"An investigation has developed"
said Mr.. ,Powderly, "that, while the
unusually large exodus of foreigners
during the. past few months was the dl-
rect result of disturbed finan2fa1 CON
ditlons, 1t was not due to the closing
Of mills or factories or cessation in the
progress of public works. The great
majority Of those who returned to Eu-
rope were not turned out Of employ
ment. They were alarmed by the out
look and decided to go back. The tide
will begin to turn early In the spring,
and l have no doubt that the increas-
Ing demand for labor that our reports
Indicate Is at hand will be fully met
by the supply In this country amplifled
by an enlarged immigration"

Cheap Fert,liinx.

Some of the best farms in the East
have been brought to the highest de-
gree of fertility by the use of clover,
lime and manure. The farmers who
have accomplished such results have
aimed to save every pound of manure,
and also to preserve it In the best
manner. Lime is used extensively by
those who know that lime Is an essen
tlal ingredient of plants, and also be-
cause 1t Is excellent for increasing tie
clover crop. Clover enriches the land
by promoting the supply of nitrogen in
the soil, hence lime and clover make
an excellent combination.

TERRORs OF FRAT" INITIATION,
Sorority Ceremonies shatter Nerves
Of Novitiate and Arouse Mothers.

The nerve racking, even though fancied
terrorS of an initiation into a Greek let
ter society of girl students in private and
preparatory schools in New York City
caused meeting of twenty angry mothers
at the home of Mrs. Elizabeth Moore.
Their first purpose is to break up the
local organization of the Sigma Gamma
Society, and their second Is to start a
campaign throughout the country against
secret societies among school girls.
1t was the story of Julia Mills, not vet
II, as told by her to her mother, that
caused Mrs. Mills to take the first steps.
Miss Mills, according to her story, was
summoned to appear at the Moore home.
When she was ushered In she was led into
a dimly lighted room between two col
umns of black robed, black masked fig
uIes, up to the high priestess.
This will be a test of your fortitude,
of your fitness to be a sister. You are
ordered to thrust your hand into q small
caldron of molten lead, which you see be-
fore you. Ready Obey orders !"
Miss Mills dashed her hand into the
iANuih anu ~ hCl hIeSS lsl II
After she recovered her composure IN part
she was surprised to note that the caldron
was filed with mercury.
Suddenly the lights went out. Miss
Mills felt the floor give way beneath her
and she felt herself go down, down, aud
then land on the pillows.
The candidate was ordered to grasp the
hand, for which she could only feel. Shud-
dering, she involuntarily drew back her
arm when she felt the clammy fingers.
She had grasped wet chamois skin glove
filed with sand.
Again she was led forth, this time to
drink nauseating liquid out Of skull,
which liquid would serve to make her
Of one blood with her other prospective
sisters"
Revolving at each gulp, she was com
PEELED to drain the skull.

NOW nisease of Horees.

A new and destructive disease of horses
new, that is, to this continent--has
been discovered in western Pennsylvania.
1t is epizootic lymphangitis, and the State
veterinary department is taking every pos
sible means to stamp out the disease be-
fore it has caused great loss to horse
owners throughout the State.
This disease has been known for long
time In India, China, Japan and the
Philippine Islands. and more recently in
South Africa. From South Africa 1t was
carried, after the Boer war, to England
and ireland, where the British Board Of
Agriculture has been combating it active
ly for several years. When or by what
agency it reached Pennsylvania has not
been discovered.
About 40 horses deemed incurable have
been destroyed. The others are in quar-
antine. The disease is a dangerous one
and hard to combat.

this man or that seems to gain the
ascendancy, and gigantic projects will
hang fire pending the nominations.
And when the men are In the field,
far from helping the situation, a new
and even worse upheaval will take
place. Frenzled stump speakers will
tramp up and down the country, paint
ing In horrible phrase the terrific ex-
perlences that confront the nation In
the doleful event of the success of the
opposition party. Platforms will be
torn to pieces in this delirIum of ex-
hortation: mems lives, aims and char
acters rlddled; the constitution of the
country will be both invoked and con-
demned; the giants of business will on
the one hand be extolled, on the other
savagely condemned.
The campaign will last four months,
and In that time both parties will call
on the biggest guns they have; the star
speakers will be drafted to present the
opposing arguments. As forensic
struggle the fight is bound to be more
than ordinarily Interesting, Each side
has orators of the first rank, veterans
who understand the art of stirring au-
dlences.
Leading the Republicans may be
Roosevelt himself. For him to speak
In a campaign while holding the office
Of President would be In violation OF
precedent. Of course but the chief apos-
tie Of the strenuous life has never
bothered much about slavlsh Difference
to custom, and as his policies are like
" to be under fire throughout the cam
paign 1t is entirely possible that he
may be wrought up to one of his char
acteristlcally blunt speeches.

ResuIt Of Corn Rreeding.

From numerous experiments made
in Wisconsin there has been developed
strain of white dent corn which
grows on very short, thick-set stalk,
and which natures a good-siZed ear,
and the ears run remarkably uniform.
The growth centers in the ear rather
than in producing big stalk at the
expense of small ear. After four
years of careful, persistent work, there
are numerous corn fields in Southern
and Central Wisconsin which will
yield 60 to 80 bushels per acre, and
100 bushels have been reported several
times. Such results coming from a
State which few years ago was con-
sidered out Of the corn belt demon
strate what corn breeding will accom-
plish when carried on along sensible
lines.

aBrap is an excellent food for poul-
try in all stages Of growth as well as
for laying hens. One great point IN
its favor is Its cheapness. 1t contains
larger proportion of lime than any
other food at the price, and lime is
essential to growth of bone, muscles
and feathers. as well as the formation
of shells for eggs. Lime which is
found In food for some reason is much
more easily assImilated than in the
form of oyster shell and the like.
Wheat/is a most excellent poultry food,
but the high price prohibits many
from using It freely. Bran and clo-
yer used in connection with oats Will
produce as good results. Clover and
alfalfa are rich in lime and should be
had at all times in the green state
when possible and in the form Of we'll
cured hay the rest of the year. Cut
alfalfa and bran may be fed In the
form Of mash. Skim milk Is an ideal
thing to moisten 1t with. Fowls, how
ever, will consume quantities OF Dran
dry fed from a self-feeder and they
eat alfalfa or clover hay freely from
the stack or manger.
Bran may be used mixed with the
cut grain n the self-feeder and per-
haps this is the most convenient form
Of all In which to use 1t.
Some. of the most valuable food
properties contained in the wheat are
left in the bran and it's food value for
poultry is not fully appreciated by
many poultry raisers or we would see
more Of them using 1t in the ration
If you feed bran. clover and alfalfa
you need on oyster shell and very little
cut bone or lean meat. In fact flock
will get on and yield lots of eggs with
ou any attempt to furnish meat If the
bran and alfalfa Is fed."-Poultry

Avoiding Wastes.

The first great lesson to be learned
is to avoid waste. Waste has been the
curse Of agriculture. Why pay taxes
on land that is not farmed? Why only
half cultivate the fields and 50 waste
both land and labor Why waste time
and capital in raising inferior animals?
Why waste money in buying what
should be raised on the farm? Why
waste energy in trying to do more than
any one man can do rightf On many
farms there is waste in thousand
ways, and no wonder that to some
farming does not pay" The small
details must be looked after, and no
farm should be larger than what can
be properly attended to.

Glover and Fodder.

Glover and corn furnish a fodder
ration that can not easily be improved
upon for dairy cows. Two factors
should be taken into account when de-
terminIng the amount of grain to feed.
One is the extent to which clover or
alfalfa Is fed, and the second is the
production of the cow. The rule with
some is to feed one pound of grain for
every three pounds Of milk produced.
When clover or alfalfa form large
part of the ration it would seem rea-
sonable to suppose that less quantity
Of grain would suffice than the amounts
named,
