this bug will actually kill the toad If

evidently does not relish the diet.

day by Mr.. Taft will discern Its tracks.

s 1t is not to be forgotten that the Re

welt. His masterful domination put
Taft in the place lie would have taken
himself II he dared risk defeat at the
polls, so the Taft Acknowledgements
Yesterday were addressed more to the;
Muster in the White House than to the
Republican party as an organization
superior to any single individual. As
"a panegyric of Roosevelt ID differs
from the familiar style of recent Prest
Dental messages only In the necessary
sellmlnat ion of the personal pronoun.
An. excusable. warmth Of personal adj
miration, a commendable enthusiasm,
of political loyalty, will relieve Mr..
Taft from apology for his exaggerated
slautations of Roosevelt In this spirit
of charitable allowance for the obliga.
tions enforced by his environments We
can concede that It is natural Mr.: Taft
should have found 1t inappropriate to
condemn by specific declaration, or
even by any form Of softened iniplica-
ton, the outrageous insult to the Fed
seral judiciary involved In the offensive
criticism Of the Standard Oil reversal
to which President Roosevelt give ex-5
preston last week. And yet 1t remains
n stubborn fact that Mr.. Taft will be
regarded as accepting the Roosevelt
view, however much he disapproves,
unless he finds some way to put him
self right before the public.
+ His entire speech Of Acknowledgement
rs couched in the same spirit. Para
grnph after paragraph gnfolds the
story, Of acceptance as a matter of
political expediency of policies his In
sdividual judgment condemns. So Mr..
Taft expands with refined distinctions
in his endeavor to explain his party,s
rebuff Of the reasonable appeal OF the
working classes for legislation to pre-
KENT misusesof the power OF intunc-
ton and its fiat refusal to pr the
enactment of compulsory publicity;
law.
Facing the tariff issue Mr.. Taft bows
to the edlct Of "standpatism" which
even Roosevelt himself must obey.
loft the tariff reformer disappears In
Taft the candidate, obedient to the
party mandate and willing to defend
even the prohibitory duty that protects
a trust. The measure Of tariff reforin
to be expected under his administration
would obviously be that meted out by
the tariff barons themselves.
Read discriminatory for the lesson.
1t carries between the lines, the Taft
speech is Democratic document. In
very large part 1t Is an ingenious ef-
fort to prove that the, Republican plat
form means what the Democratic plat
form says. The American people must
decide whether they want that party to
rule which says what 1t means or will
trust the welfare Of the country to a
party which dared not say what 1t pre-.
tends to smean.-St, Louis Republic

cultivatins the Soil.

sAAO suns
The Importance of frequent and
thorough cultivation of the soil is
now admitted to achieve the largest
crops. This knowledge was known to
the ancients, who worked the land
with primitive Implements. Even the
untutored Indian, with his stone hoe,
stirred the ground around his plants
of corn to stimulate their growth.
The Initial preparation Of the soil
for perfect cultivation is performed
by the pillow, which stirs and turns
over the soilato uniform depth. Mod
ern plows are manufactured for all
kinds Of soil, from the stlfr clay to
the light, sandy loans and the fine,
smooth, black land of the prairie. The
angie OF the moldboard determines
the compactness or disintegration OF
the field that has been plowed. The
fine, black prairie loans need the
highly polished steel plows with
oblique angled moldboards to turn. the
soil. An obtuse angfed pillow will choke
in fine, black loan, but will work adj
mirabiy lin sandy loaris, The sharp
ahgled moldboard throws the furrow
over with great force. making the land
friable and easily cultivated. In
breaking up seeded land the long, OBJ
tuse-angled moldboard Is necessary
to lay the burrows down smoothly
where they can be tirmed by the
roller and subsequently cultivated with
the disk harrow.
Working the soil in turn makes
the soil work Cultivation performs
the twofold purpose Of liberating plant
food and destroying weeds. The earth
has been cursed with weeds to COM
pei man to work for his bread. TIL
Ing the soil makes It loose and fria6le
and permits the roots of plants to more
easily appropriate the nourishment Of
the soil. Tillage admits the air into
the aoil and also the rain, which i'm
part fertility to the land. Cultivation
.unlocks the great chemical laboratory
of rature and releases the nourishnent
needed by vegetation. Thorough cul.
ttvation unlocks the great storeliouse
OF nature and lnsures the hustapdl,mn
bountlful crops. The stalk OF corn is
like an infant who needs nodiishncnt
to promote development, and tilIage re-
leases the elements Of the soil needed
for the evolution Of the matured corn.

1t would, therefore, seem that the most
important reform is to abolish all spe-,
cial privileges and especially the pres
ent tariff protection to the trusts. It
Is safe to say that with the tariff re-.
formed to a revenue basis and thus the
trusts left helpless to charge more for,
their products than the reasonable
profit that competition would allow.
there would be very small contribu-.
lions from those who now enjoy u
virtual monopoly. Nor would the
transportation corporations be very
eager to contribute to help the Repub-
lican politicians, II the law to control
them was faithfully and impartially ex-
ecuted.
ls 1t not to the interest therefore
of the honest and independent Re-.
publican voter who wants to see politi-
cal corruption abolished to Join the
Democrats In such reform Of the tarlff,
as well as control of corporations as
viii take from them their monopoly
that Republican policies have fosteredl
and by the force of competition pre-.
vent 1t In the future. There will be
little political corporation when spe-
cial privileges are crushed out.

Points ON Profitable sheep.
A careful observer Of agricultural
conditions cannot help but be. I'm
pressed with many points in the Sc.
lection of profitable range sheep. 1t
should be recognized that we need as
large bodied sheep as possible, with.
out coarseness, for such an animal
would have large surface for tile
growth of wool, and would produce a
large bodied, thrifty lamb for mutton
purposes.
The body must be well covered with
wool of even density and fineness, tho
wool extending over the under parts
and down the legs to the feet, that they
nmy not chill when lying on the cold
ground or snow. but 1t should not cover
the face tossuch an extent as to cause
blindness. The legs must be long
enough to enable the sheep to walk
from four to SIX miles a day over the
range for food. This sheep must be
thrifty and quick maturing, but still
capable Of standing range conditions
land remain productive from seven ia
nine years. This sheep should serve a
dual purpose Iii a measure, and be cap.
able of making good cross with some
nutton type for production of the best
feeder lambs, 30 that the owner viii
find ready market at the best price,
for his surplus increase, and be able II
dispose of his old ewes and wethers ~
feeders.
