Mr.. Bryan took for his subject "Dem.

tariff debate in congress and declared
they had lost to the democratic party
the greatest opportunity for a signal
victory that has been obtained in
years.
1.-THE steel trust asked for q duty on

for their requested duty gives the gov
eremennt a revenue of $3.50, 900 and
gives the steel trust $40, 900, OOO."
Mr.. Bryan attacked protection on

His Niohtcap PRIVILEGE,


Among the many strange privileges
granted by English sovereigns to their
subjects probably the most remarkable
was the permission given to the Earl
Of Sussex by Queen Mary to wear his
nightcap, Or wen two Dightcaps, If he
30 wished, in her royal presence. The
earl was a victim Of colds in the head.
which, like the law, are no respecters
of persons. and as he considered ca
tarrh' in the head too heavy a price to
pay for loyalty he petitioned the
queen for permission to wear his
nightcap in her presence.
The patent conceding this unique
privilege is n Of the most amusing
in royal annals. It runs thus: "Know
ye that we do give to our beloved and
trusty cousin and counselor, Henry,
earl Of Sussex, Viscount Fitzwalter
and lord Of Egremund and Purnell,
license and pardon to wear his cap or
nightcap or any two Of them, at his
pleasure, as well in our presence as
in the presence of any other person or
persons within this realm or any other
place in dominions wheresoever,
during his life, and these our letters
shall be sufficient warrant in his be-
half"

Increase In National Guard,

Los ANGELES, Sept. 27.-Durine
the last year the national guard of the
United States has increased in ite
numerical strength 5000, according to
the report of General J.. A. Graham
before the annual convention of the
national guard. General Graham is
chairman of the executive committee
OF the guard.
"But o Importance than any in.
crease in numerical strength" says
the report, "is the gain in vital force
through the feeling that the guard is
now and forever a part with the regu.
lar army"
In the opinion of the executive com.
mittee it will be we'll for the national
guard to be conservative in requests
made to congress at the next session.

HILLS TRIBUTE TO MONTANA.

When James j. Hill talks he says
something, and when he spoke at the
state fair about Montana he said many
things 1t would be wise not only for
every progressive and every farmer In
the state to read, but that portion OF
his address which has to do solely
with Montana should be printed and
given the widest possible u alton,
says the Helena Record. If we do
this we will be but following his ad.
vice when he said:
You must put your light on the hill
and you must not hide it in the bushel
any longer. You must let the world
know what you have got. You will be
better off, and they will be immensely
better off,"
If a land boomer or a local boomer
had talked about the agricultural pos.
sibilities of this state as did Mr.. Hill,
we might denominate it as shot air."
But in all these United States there is
not q man better posted on agriculture,
on the dollars and cents of the propo.
sition, nor one who has better knowl-
edge OF natural and con-
ditions than James J. Hill. When he
talks about a country, its resources
and its prospects,, he is needed by the
tinanciers, the economists and the stu
dents not only in this country but in
the world. 1t was faith in the cor
rectness of his views, ia his knowledge
of conditions and opportunities that
enabled him to get millions of dollars
to span the northwest with a railway,
and this same faith, which has been
proved to be based on a solid founda-
ton, is as stron : today Is 1t yer was.
What stronger words could be used
than these of MIR. Hill when he said:
"There r only two states in the
union which have any large amount OF
agricultural land left in the public do.
main. We could increase that acreage
If we took in Texas, but that land is
not a part of the public domain, but it
is a part of the property Of the state OF
Texas. And Montana has within Der

to the entire state of Iowa, or the state
OF Illinois, and certainly they may be
considered the richest states In the
union, but neither ME state of Illinois
nor the state of Iowa can make as good
an exhibit on all counts as you have
shown today in the expositin building
over there"
With such resources as the railway
man says Montana has, with co.opera.
ton and faith, all things are possible
In q material WAY for the state.

GOVERNOR ADVISES TAFT.

In extending a welcome from the
people OF Montana to President Taft,
during his recent visit to the state,
Governor Norris took occasion to i'm
press upon the mind of the national ex-
ecutive that the hopes and aspirations
OF this young commonwealth deserve
encouragement. The governor handled
the subject in good shape, some of his
remarks being to this effect:
"We feel that it is good for us to
receive q visit from the nations chief,

that it will be of value to see and know

INTERESTING TO srockMEN,

Experiments OF much practical value
TO the farmers and stockmen of Mon
tana have just been concluded by the
animal department. Of the Montana
agricultural college experiment sta
tion. Feeding, breeding and variety
tests have been made with sheep, hogs,
beet and dairy cattle. The state ex.
pertinent station keeps for the expert.
mental work the best breeds Of ami
male obtainable.
A herd Of more than 100 beef and
dairy cattle is kept on the farm. Ex-
periments have been made to deter.
mine the cost of raising beef cattle,
the loss in shipping long distances,
and the profit to be made by feeding
on different kinds Of hay. All Of the
steers at the agricultural college have
been raised from the best bulls In the
country. s%horthorns, Herefords and
Aberdeen Angus are among the breeds
Of cattle experimental with.
A large silo has just been construct.
ed in the dairy barn. This will be
filled fret with clover hay and then
with other kinds of hay. A compari.
son will then be made between the
rations to find which is the best feed
for dairy cattle. The breeds of the
dairy cattle on the farm are Holsteins,
Jerseys and Ayreshires.
Feeding experiments are made with
horses to decide how much hay is re-
quired to keep the horse In the best
condition. Prof. R. W. Clark, in
charge of the department of animal
industry, thinks that the average far
mer feeds too much hay to his horses.
The tests made this summer have
shown this to be true.
An attempt was made to find the
relative merits of frosted and un-
frosted grains as a feed for hogs.
The results show that very badly
frosted grain tends to increase the
mortality of the animals. Various
breeds of hogs are kept at the station,
and an attempt Ia being made to de-
eide the best breeds for raising in the
state OF Montana. To grow the ami
NAL, experiments in breeding are be.
ing made. In the feeding of hogs it
has been found that some hay or pas
ture is necessary. Glover and alfalfa
have been proven to be the best for
this purpose.
An effort is being made to determine
the effect of different kinds of feed on
the quality of the wool of sheep. The
most marked effect of feeding has been
found to exist in the case of fine.
wooded sheep, and it is with these that
Professor Clark is chiefly interested.
The quality of the feed has also been
found to have its influence on the NUT
ton of the animal. Breeding tests are
being made to better the wool and the
mutton of the sheep. The best breeds
are kept at the college. Among these
are some Shropshire sheep which were
imported from Europe two years ago.
All Of the animals on the farm are
used to instruct students In the agri-
cultural and animal industry courses
of the college. Some of the expert.
ments are conducted by students. A
bulletin on the results OF the expert.
ments will be published soon.
