Farm Notes.

Provide breeding plot where you
can grow your corn under special OBJ
servation and provide improved seed
for use next year.
Give the little pigs plenty of room
to exercise.
An alfalfa field and bunch of good
milch cows puts a farmer on easy
street.
Put in a lot of sweet corn to help
out when the pasturage gets short
along in July and August.
The day of low-priced eggs seems
gone forever, and the farmer more
than ever finds source of profit in
his polltry.
Raise the collars on the horses oc-
casionally, and wipe away the sweat
1t will prevent chating and will make
the animals feel more comfortable.
Aphls, or plant lice, those tiny, black
green or red insects, are more easily
killed by using strong solution Of
tobacco in water, or kerosene emulsion
or whale oil soap solution. Apply re-
medy early, when lice first hatch out
and before they are hidden by the curl
of infested leaves.
Feed the skim milk don't make
cheese Cheese sold off the farm takes
more nitrogen with it than butter, the
loss being about one dollars worth of
nitrogen for every 1000 pounds of milk
used. If you sell butter you sell only
the butter fat, which has no particular
fertiliZine value. If you get your
skim milk back and feed it to the pigs
you save at least Is per cent Of the
fertilizing material in the milk. There
can be no objection to making and
selling cheese, however, if the plan Of
farming includes some means OF re-
storing the nitrogen and phosphates
sent out in this way.
Ringbone that has become firmly es-
tablished upon horses leg is hard
to treat. Firing seems the most sat
isfactory method, but this should be
early stages ringbone may sometimes
be cured by proper shoeing which will
straighten the foot and relieve the
strain which causes the trouble. Ring
bone is caused by injury TO the ten
dons OF the foot or by blows, sprans,
or overwOrking before the bones have
been fully formed and hardened. IL
is regarded as one of the diseases
which may be transmitted by heredity,
or, rather, the tendency to it may be
transmitted.

Free-For-All Scramble to- Reach
Head Of Prohibition Ticket

There is every probability that the
first place on the Prohibition ticket
will be filed as the result of a free
fight among the delegates to the ma
tional convention at Columbus, Ohio,
this week. 1t has been the under
standing among the greater portion
OF the delegates that the presidential
nomination would be given to Judge
Seaborn Wright Of Georgia if he
would take the place. Up to Wednes-
day morning, however, no intimation
had been received from Judge Wright
to the effect that he intended to accept
the honor. An hour before the con-
vention opened Charles X. Jones of
Illinois, chairman Of the national
committee, declared that if word was
not soon received from Mr.. Wright,
announcing that he intended to take
the place, the matter would be left
entirely open.
Under these conditions Charles
Scanlon Of Pittsburg, Joseph P. Tracy
OF Detroit, Alfred L. Mannierere of
New York and Joshua Leavering
Of Baltimore was most prominently
mentioned. Governor Hanly OF In
diana is still being talked Of.
The latter gentleman, who led the
party in 1895, is strongly favored by
many OF the delegates.
The convention was called to order
at 10 O'Clock in Memorial hall, by
Chairman Jones. The invocation was
offered by Rev. E. L. Eaton of Illinois,
and Robert Fl. Patton OF Springfield,
ILL.,, was announced as temorary chair
man. In his address he attacked the
position of the Republican and Demo-
cratic parties on the liquor question
and cited proof that Abraham Lincoln
was In favor Of Prohibition of the Ii
quor traffic.

Hope He Has Improved With Age.

Mr.. Bryan's denomination is the
Democratic party's hope that he has
profited by defeat and outlived the
errors of youth.
The Post-Dispatch has opposed Mr.
Bryan on account OF various fantastic
and un-Democratic principles which
he has avowed from time to time. Tc
these principles we are still and shal
remain unalterably opposed.
Regarding his nomination as un
wise and not calculated to lead either
to harmony or victory, the Post Dis
patch nevertheless preceives in exist
ing conditions great opportunity fol
him to make creditable showing AZ
a candidate and to render his party q
real service. This does not lie in the
direction of violent speech or OF
strange or revolutionary ideas. 1t is
to be found in the realm Of states
manship.
Enjoying the confidence of the
Democratic masses to remarkable
degree, it is in his power 80 to direct
the issues of the campaign as to fix
public attention upon real reforms for
the wrongs inflicted on the country by
Rooseveltism and for the prevailing
depression in commerce and industry.
A thoughtful and statesmanlike, and,
above all. moderate and truly Demo
cratic appeal to tue people on his
part in behalf of genuine political,
financial and commercial reform, with
no Indictment Of class prejudices, with
no assaults upon the courts and with
no frantic outreaching after socialistic
or Populistic false reforms, would dc
much to justify the action of the Denver
convention in placing the leadership
once more In his keeping.
The figure that Mr.. Bryan is destin'
ed to cut at the polls in November will
depend almost entirely, therefore,
upon his own ntterances between now
and then.

The July Crop Report

The Department Of Agriculture's q
estimate OF crop prospects for 1903, is.
sued July l, does not differ materially
from the June estimate, except in the
point Of more favorable reports OF con-
ditions, as compared with July l, OF
last year. All the staples, with the
exception OF Irish potatoes and tobac-
co, are in more promising condition
than they were year ago and in every
farm crop the rating is well above the
ten-year average.
The wheat yield is now certain to be
larger than that Of last year, and,
while corn In the lOwlands has suffered
from too much rain that crop promises
to be even larger than the bumper crop
OF 1907. The important point, from
the viewpoint Of the farmer, is the
practical certainty that the prices for
all farm crops, which are far above the
ten-year average, will continue to rule
high, furnishing assurance that the
crop returns Of 1908 will run we'll into
the billions and aggregate at least
$500, 600, 900 more than the 1907 yield.
The corn crop alone should be worth
at least 800, 900, 900 more than the
crop Of last year.
The government estimates g yield
OF 692. 100, 900 bushels OF wheat, as COM
pared with 634, ,Os7,O 900 bushels last
year; 2, 1875, 900, 900 bushels of corn, as
compared with 1882, 43O, 900 bushels In
1907; 1,Ol2, 300, 900 bushels Of oats, COM
pared with 754, ,443, 900 bushels last
year and liberal increases in the yield
of rye and barley, bringing the total
production of the five cereals in 1908
up to 635, ,s46, 900 bushels. as compared
with 4,163, 1873, 600 bushels for last
year. This certainty Of bountiful
harvest offers the surest guaranty of
a more speedy return to the normal
business and industrial conditions.
With the agricultural interests of
the nation working under high pres
sure demand, with splendid crops in
sight and a good market awaiting the
harvest, there must Of necessity fol-
low steady improvement in trans
portation interests and in all allied
| industries

Labor and Capital

In loJ6 there we're 5,2Ol, 1872 deposi
tors in the savings banks Of the United
States, with the sum OF 81, ,935, ,466, 46t
to their credit. To that extent laboI
WIS then capitalist, though labor was
taught that it was wicked to have
money.
In 1907 there were 75s6,sll deposi.
tors in the savings banks OF this coun.
try, with credits to the stupendous
amount of %, 495, 41O, ,OS7. And thus
labor progressed in the thrifty art OF
beeoming q capitalist.
These billions are only part Of the
capital accumulated by labor. There
srs life insurance policies and build
int and loan associations that have alb.
sofbed immense sums. In addition to
these there tens OF thousands of labor
eFs who have bought homes and paid
fer them.
In view OF these facts what folly 1t
10 10 hold that labor is benefited by
assaults on capital. Those billions in
the savings banks, the accumulations
Of labor are In the channels OF indus
try and Of commerce. 1t is possibly
true that immense sums OF the savings
Of labor are loaned to Hartman, to
Pierpoint Morgan, to Tom Ryan and
men OF that ilk, who engage in vast
enterprises that require capital Of
colossal proportions.
An assault On capital threatens the
savings Of every laboring man. Aboli-
tfon OF the writ of injunction would

Hearst Denounces Bryan as Wrecker
of Democracy

That William j. Bryan is not to
have the support of William H. Hearst,
is Indicated by the attitude of Mr.,
Hearst's two New York papers, the
American and the Evening Journal.
The two papers announce loss OF
confidence on their part, both in the
Democratic party and in Mr.. Bryan.
The New York American says:
"For the third time William J.
Bryan has been nominated by the
Democratic party or rather by that
fragment Of former efficiency which is
called the Democratic party. We have
lost confidence In the Democratic
party, as millions of other Democrats
have done. We cannot see in this NOM
ination any hope.
1--WE are bound to add, with regret,
that we have lost confidence also In
William J. Bryan, who by well-man-
ipulated boss-ship has compelled this
nomination.
mo reliance can be placed on the
Democratic platform or in Brysn's de
clarations. The Democratic platform
declares for one set Of principles at
one election and for an entirely differ
ent set at the next election, while
Bryan is apparently without perma-
nent principles, or sincere conviction,
or even honest attitude.
"a note is promise to pay. 1t is
valuable according to who makes it
and who indorses it. A platform is a
promise to perform, and a platform
made by the Democratic party and in
dorsed by Mr.. Bryan is not worth the
paper it is written on.

The public has grown tired of candi-
dates who hustle for the presidency as
they would for job, contract, an
insurance policy, or sell book. 1t
demands dignity. The porch Is the
thing to give that. Let US have
porch candidates. Not porch-climb-
ing candidates, but candidates who sit
on the porch in willow chair, smok-
ing preferably; candidates who do not
appear to be running for anything,
but who, when they see delegations
headed by brass bands coming down
the street, rise, and adjusting their
neckties, address to said delegation
remarks wholly impromptu, which in-
dicates an all wisdom that cannot but
be impressive. The peripatetic candi-
date muses. up the streets of the town

No Longer A Mission Land

The United States, by decree OF the
pope taking effect shortly, is no Ion
ger a missionary Jurisdiction of the
Roman Catholic church. For pur.
poses OF ecclesiastical administration
the United States, together with Can
ada and Newfoundland, Great Britain
and Holland, is removed from the con.
troll OF the congregation Of the props-
ganda, or central board of missions.
In other words, the United States, in
canon law ss we'll as in fact, is recog-
nzied as q christian " country.
Doubtless there are some Protes-
tants who may ask by what right the
United States has. for the last 200
years at least, been regarded as any,
thing but q "Christian" country. The
distinction may be regarded as one Of
the nice outlets Of the canon or
church law. However, the same dis
tinction is observed by those Protes-
tant bodies which maintain their "mis-
sions'' in Latin America and In vari-
Gus European countries, including
Italy.
American Roman Catholics will nat
urally be pleased with the change, for
two sets OF reasons. One Of these 10
sentimental. 1t pleases to know that
they are no longer regarded as need
ing any special guardianship by the
highest authorities Of their church.
The other is practical. The process Of
selection of bishops and archbishops
is simpli6ed. The names of the can
didates go directly to the pontiff with
out passing through the mission
board. And certain itigations will
reach the court OF final appeal with
out delay in an intermediate tribun-
al.-Chicago Inter-Ocean.

Is "he hasn't sense enough to till the

Many mean things will be said
While he lives-when he Is dead
Folk will say he is the best that ever

The kuhelik Concert.

The New York Telegraph said Kubelik, the famous vioinist who comes to the Jefferson theatre Monday night. Febru- ary r. swept the house with him when he played before five thousand admirers there last November. Among other things the Telegraph said:
 ''There is something of that which the Scotch would call eerie about him. He seems young and old at the same time; young in the 1.-the figure and unlined poetic face, old in his boise and in his mastery over the secrets of an intensely difficult yet infinitely responsive instru ment
 But as a violnist pure and simple the essence of Kubelik is that he is human. He is perfectly intelligible and, strong as his appeal is, it is also wide and general.
 ssThe concerto by Sinding, which Kube- like played, gave the soloist an opportun- ity to indulge in his most genial moods, and the result was that he swept his audience off it's feet.
 ''The Beethoven Romance in G major has long been a favorite with all kinds of audiences, and Kubelik rendered 1t with all the tendeFess and beauty that could be elicited from it's haunting mel odles and high eloquence"

SITE CHOSEN FOR
 JAPANESE FAIR
EXPOSITION GROUNDS WILL cov- ..ERs 272 ACRES AT AoYAMA, A
 HIGH POSITION IN TOXIC. FOREIGN EXHIBITS COMING.

Tokio, February 9.-Aoyama, one of the highest and most ,healthful parts of Tokio, it is officially announced, has been chosen as the site for the grand exhibition Of Japan to be held from April to October 31, 1912.
 Aoyama lies in the Akasaka section of the city, not far from the Imperial pal- ace, and near the independent adminstra- tion buildings of the government. The ex- hibition grounds will cover a total area from PIP to 2S0 acres.
 Thus far a number of nations have sent their approval of the exhibition to tho Japanese government. Among these the first to make such. expression was Ger many. Mexico, Canada and New Zealand also have signifed their interest in the enterprise. Great Britain has com municated her wishes to lend every pos- sble assistance. The favorable consd- eration of the exhibition given by Pres- dent Roosevelt in his annual message to Congress when he recommended that invi- tations of the Japanese to the United States to attend be accepted and a representation be provided for has been received with appreciation by the author- ities in charge of the work
 The exhibition is to show to the people of the world the development and pro- gress of the Japanese. The government has planned to spend $5, 5,000,O0O, and it is expected that the various provinces and municipalities will appropriate $5,OOOOO0 more.

Are Women's Manners. Improvino?

In the February American Magazine 'The Interpreter talks about the man. ners of women. A part of the discussion follows:
 The manners of women are better-in public particularly. I can remember the time when in the sleeping car. on the street car, at the hotel, even on the sde- walk, women were almost uniformly sell fish and supercilious.
 Do you remember the comedy of ris- ing in the old Pullman car when the woman's wash room could be locked? The early riser would bolt herself in and make leisurely toilet, while a rapidly-increasng crowd of angry, half-clad women packed the end of the car, venting their impa- tience by jostling, pounding on the door. appealing to the authorities. I have seen this selfish occupation of a toilet room carried so far that the train officials were obliged to eject the selfish one, and have been told by good authority that the nuisance became so great that it lead to the substitution of the open room. But the open room did not end the trouble. If you could not be kept out you could be made most uncomfortable by those who preceded you, by the woman spreading the contents of large suitcase over three-quarters of the room and grumbling because she did not have the remaining fourth; by the woman who left the wash stand sprinkled with powder, bowl un- wiped and soiled towels heaped every where by the woman who elbowed and crowded and cast black glances.
 But I see and hear less, much less of all this. In a recent trip across the continent there were 30 women in my car and one of them confided in me toward the end of the trip that there had not been morning when they did not put themselves out to button one another's waists"

LICENSE LEAGUE WRITES PREACHERS Argues That Christ Sanctioned
 Making of Wine THE FAILURE OF THE LAW Prohibition Does Not Restrict .Pur- chase of Liquors and Statistics Show That Sales Have Not
 Decreased.
THE FAILURE OF THE LAW

Louisville, February 9.-"Those interest ed are taking the ground that the manu- facture and distribution of alcoholic bev- erages is wrong per SC. If this be true, there is no question that the Almighty was wrong in commenting the use of wine in speaking to His chosen people, and Christ was wrong in making wine at the feast of Galilee, and He was wrong in se- lecting wine and bread to commemorate His death"
 The foregoing is part of a letter sent to- day to preachers throughout the country by the National Model License league through It's president, T. M. Gilmore. The letter explains that the object of the league is to have a uniform restrictive sa- loon license adopted by all the states where prohibition is not in force. The let ter continues:
 Now, if those interested in the effort to establish prohibition prove to the satis- faction of the American people that Christ did that which was wrong, that Christ committed a sin, and that Christ set 0 bad example to future generations, then we fear that they will have succeeded Gin oO ldl dS lllo AtHeIlCdu pcOpic are COH- cerned) in destroying the very foundation of the Christian faith.
 This Is a strange suggestion to come from men connected with the whisky bus mess to those connected with the minis try, but we consider 1t a very serious phase of this question, and one that de- serves the earnest thought of every man.
 "The prohibitory laws being passed in this country merely prohibit the manufac- ture and sale, and do not prohibit the purchase and use of alcoholic liquors; and all thinking men know that where a demand exists, it will be supplied from some source, if the profit justifies the risk in supplying it. Witness the develop ment of the mail order business and of the moonshine business, and as shown by the figures of the internal revenue de- partment, the per capita consumption of whisky has not decreased with the spread of prohibition, while the per capita con sumption of beer has largely increased. If the Anti-Saloon league will agree to it, we will favor having an amend 1 ment to all prohibifory laws providing a heavy penalty for the purchase of alco- holc beverages, or for having them in possession in prohibition territory, and this would mean prohibition
 "The passage of laws will not prevent the use of alcoholic beverages; that is a matter of education and evolution"
