All Dairy Signs Fail.

There was COW show in the Island
of Jersey, last May. One hundred
and twenty-six animals were entered
in the test. The winter made
pounds lis ounces of butter in
twenty-four hours, and received the
gold medal for producing the most
butter. The curious fact is tha,
there was not a man in the show
no matter how expert Judge he
might be, who would have picked
out this COW. Instead of having a thin
neck she had a thick one, instead oi
a long neck short one. Instead
Of a typical udder she had aeshy
one. She was the most beefy look.

There were dozen COWS there
which, Judging from the size of the
udder, would have been bigger mil.

It seems to be about as hard te

as it is to pick out a frst-class mar

Every four years we hear tht
ancient rumor that the solid south
is going to break up. 1t never viii
until the republican party has the
courage to adopt an entirely differ.
ent policy SO far as the party con.
venticn is concerned. In 1904 South
Carolina cast 1854 votes for Roose.
velt while Iowa gave him 3O7, ,9O7. In
the convention at Chicago, South
Carolina had eighteen delegates,
while Iowa had twenty-six. In other
words, each delegate from South
Carolina represented fraction less
than l42 republicans. while each
delegate from Iowa represented a
fraction over l,S42. The same con.
dition prevailed in every southern
state, although not to such an ex-
treme degree. The southern dele
cations were made up almost sole.
ly of federal office holders, while
there was none on the Iowa list.
The result of such condition is
that the federal patronage of the
souht is divided among compara-
lively small number of men in each
state who constitute the local ma
chine. 1t is not to their interest to
have the party grow, for that might
mean their loss of control. Therefore
we yearly see the party dwindling
in the south, while it grows in the
north. Outside of the entire injus-
tice Of such a method Of representa-.
tion, there is no earthly chance of
building up the party while the
present plan prevails, and it offers a
premium to the shady gangs that
once in every four years turn up at
the national convention and trade
their votes for promises of Office.
1t is to be regretted that among
other mistakes made by the Iowa
delegation at Chicago this year was
the casting of a majority of the
votes against the proposition to
right this neutrality-suspicious.

Dlsk Before Flowing the stubble.

We have been very urgent in call
ing the attention of our readers t.
the necessity;of disking cornstalks
or stubble in the spring of the yeal
before plowing for corn. The reasons
we have given are, first, that it will
check evaporation of moisture and
thus prevent clod formation; fo,
clods form only by the evaporation
of moisture from saturated or par.
TALLY saturated soil. Soils shrink
when the moisture passes away; and
the heavier the soil, that is, the more
clay it contains, the greater the
amount of shrinkage, and the cracks
formed by this Ishrinkage form the
outlines of clods. We have urged it
further, because the disked surface
turned under fits more closely into
the subsoil, and hence forms capil.
larry connection all the sooner and
more perfectly. Those of our read
ers who have tried this know by ex.
perience more than we will take time
to tell them now.
There is not quite the same neces.
sity for disking stubble ground, but
tits none the less very important.
and we will state the reason why.
When stubble land is not disked. as
it should be Immediately after hsr.
vest it it is to sbe summer or fall
plowed, this evaporation of moisture
and this clod formation goes on pre-
c;sely the same is it does on land
plowed for corn in the spring. 1t
goes on even more rapidly, because
there is less moisture to evaporate
and clods form in shorter time.
The farmer n1ay say: What differ
ence does it make if clods do form?
The winters freezing will mellow
them down. An of which is very
true; but have you no compassion on
your team, ESPECIALLY in the hot
months and fly time? Do you not
know that plowipg land that breaks
up in clods is net only hard on the
team but is hard on the land as
we'll? Do you not know that after
the heavy rains we have had in
much OF the corn belt for the last
two or three months the soil will be
compacted and hardened, and that a
cessation of rain for two or three
weeks will render it impossible for
you to plow your land without pull.
ing the very life out of your team?
Why not, therefore, take time before
p!owing to disk thoroughly, form a
dirt mulch on top. and thus save
moisture, prevet clod formation, and
make blowing q plsssure instead Of
.drudgery? If yo,edo not believe this,
send your boy out TO disk for half q
day, and tell him to lap half on
stubble at right angles to the way
you intend 10 plow. One days plow-
ing in. a dry time will convince you
in a way that no mans word and no
mans opinion can ever do.
One of the great subjects that
farmers need to study all the time is
the nature Of the soil that we till,
the peculiarities of different soils on
the farm, their action in wet wealth
er and dry, the laws which govern
the movement. Of water in the soil
and hence govern also clod forma-
tion. In doing this we will save a
great deal of time. great deal of
hard labor, and make the problem
OF maintaining the physical condi.
tion of the soil, which is one Of the
main elements in crop growing,
much easier of solution. -Wallace's
Farmer.

there is decided advantage in hav-
ing something growing Oh the
ground throughout the entire season,
and rye, in the locality of ou1 CORE.
spondent, is as good if not better
than any other crop for winter pro.
lection. 1t is somewhat harder than
winter wheat and Enthusiastically as
much grazing. 1t would be a. good
plan to SOW red clover in the: rye
early next spring; this will aid in
furnishing excellent grazing next
summer after the rye has matured,
since it acts as relish in connection
with the ripe grain, provided it is to
be hogged off which, by the way, is
q good plan and one that is coming
into practice very rapidly,
A good place for rye is on corn
ground. If a patch of only few
acres is to be sown put it On the
ground on which corn is being cut
early to supplement the pasture; if
this is not practicable sow little
later, after the corn has been shock
ed. Corn ground need not be plow-
ed in preparation for small grain, in
fact, it is better not to pldWit, since
these grains, especiallyENfye and
wheat, prefer firm seed bed. such
as well cultivated corn gronnd fur
nishes. Sow at the rate of Z to 10
pecks per acre, according to the fer.
tility Of the soil. A fertile soil re.
quires less seed than poor one. 1t
isa good plan TO SOW little. more
per acre where the rye is to be pas
tured than where it is to be grown
for grain. Where corn ground is
not available and stubble ground
must be used, the land should be
p!owed as early as possible ami then
thoroughly disced and narrowed so
as to secure perfect contact between
the bottom Of the furrow and the
furrow slice.
Sow the seed with a drill and GOV
er it sufficiently deep to insure get
ing it in contact with moist soil The
sooner it is gotten into the ground
the more pasturage it will produce
this season. Hogs or sheep may be
turned on it next spring until about
May lst, then take away the animals
until the grain begins to ripen. AT
this stage allow the hogs or sheep
to do the harvesting which they will
do to good advantage, especially so
when a good catch of clover has
been obtained. The clover to some
extent prevents the rye from being
tramped into the ground and it also
acts and as a relish in connection
with the ripe grain.-Farmef's Tri-
bune.

He offered his services, however, but
these were refused.
No headway has been made In un-
raveling the plot Of which the murder
of the king and crown prince was but
one step. The police admit that the
three men arrested were not involved.
Every one of the desperate band ex-
cept the three men killed escaped.

was planned and executed on the spur
of the moment after the appearance of
decree by small group Of militant
revolutionaries or anarchistic' social
lists. who may have imagined that the
obliteration of the Braganza dynasty
would cause a spontaneous uprising OF
the people. The conspiracy was foiled
in both respects, as the younger prince
escaped and the people wait in mourn
Ing for the double funeral on Satur
day.
