Regardless of any political differ

well in his candidacy for United
States Senator from Nebraska. We.
say this without modifying In any
way our opposition to any of the poll
cies that he has advocated, or our
dissent from many of the principles:
that he upholds. Mr.. Bryan would
make good Senator. He would try
to represent the people, not the cor
porations, and he would bring quali-
ties of very high order to the upper
house of Congress. He is an excel
lent debater, able, eloquent and re.
sourceful and would render a far
greater service to his party on the

Proiltt. I'm Dairv,nr.

Few farmers or dairymen fully un-
derstand all the profits from dairying.
Most of them count only the value
of the milk or butter sold. If they
sell only the cream or butter and it
does not amount to a large per cent
more than the cost of feed, they con-
slider that they are losing money in
the operation. This, however, is not
a rational business way of looking at
the case.
In dairying. where whole milk is
sold, manure Is still product that
should be considered. Where cream
or butter alone is sold, skim milk and
manure are two products which to.
gether, If rightly handled, can be
made Of as much actual value as the
cream or butter product In both cases
calves sold for veal can not be count
ed as yielding any profit, since 1t
often costs as much or more to grow
them as they bring on the market.
But, however, good profit may be made
in raising heffers for dairy purposes.
These profits may be increased If the
cows are pure bred and served by a
pure bred male af high-record fam
lily. 1t is also true when good common
dairy cows are bred to high-grade,
pure-bred dairy male, the resulting
heifers being grade animals. The good
grade or pure-bred heifers are in
great demand all over the country at
good prices, and whether they are
used at home or sold for milk cows,
there is good money In handling them.
Where pure-bred animals are kept,
some of the male calves may be sold
at high prices for breeding purposes.
Except in special cases, where high
prices are obtained for whole milk
from Ice cream factories or from spe-
cial customers. the most profitable
dairyiHg is in selling cream or butter
only. Skinned milk on the open
market will bring but 10 to 90 cents
per 100 pounds. This is claimed to be
Its actual value. yet much more than
this can be made from it in judicious.
ly feeding 1t to calves, pigs or poultry
in connection with grain and other
dry feeds. Also, when the milk is fed
on thu farm. portion of 1t returns to
the soil as fertilizer, and the labor
of hauling 1t to market is saved. For
those who can sell their cream to a
good advantage, or can make butter
and secure good trade for it, this
form of dairying offers the greatest
profits.
AS farming land becomes scarce and
high priced, farmers in general are
coming to realize the Importance OF
making their land as fertile and pro
ductive as possible. The large, final
profit of the dairy to the man who
owns his own land is the manure, by
which he is not only able to grow lar
ger crops, but to increase the fertiL
lity and actual money value on his
farm.-Inter Ocean.

Not long ago a class of boys in an
elementary school had an essay set,
the subject being "Clergymen."
This is what one youngster wrote:
There are 3 kinds of clergymen,
Bishups, recters and curats. tile bish-
ups tells the recters to work, and the
curats have to do it. A curat is thin
married man, but when he is recter
he gets fuller and can preach longer

Trade and financial writer's are just
5ly optimistic. The steel trust is oper-
ating its mills at about rs per cent
of capacity, railroads are preparing
for extensions and improvements, the
stock market is strong, bond sales are
easy, manufacturers and wholesalers
report good business, and prosperity
once more smiles upon the land.
A remarkable feature of the panic
of 1907 was the high price maintained
for necessities Of life all through the
period of depression, and the prosper
ity which we are assured is again at
hand bids fair to raise the present
high prices even higher.
An area of large ventures and big
profits means loss in the actual pur-
chasing power of a dollar. And appar-
emily the discrimination which this
makes against the wage-earner can
only be remedied by legislation which
will make the standard gold dollar
contain more actual gold.
The gold supply is increasing so
rapidly that gold is becoming cheaper.
Such eminent students of information
al finance and banking as the great
English economist, Moreton Frewen,
believe that the establishment of a
silver standard will solve the problem
by encouraging trade with China and
South America.

The hopes of American consumers
naturally turn to President Taft.
They know what Aldrich means to
give them. But will Taft consent?
1t is already intimated in high quar-.
tiers that Taft will not risk his party's
political future by vetoing measure
that has the stamp of approval from
the Republican bosses.
But which is better, President Taft

crops, with a power sprayer which Is
capable of delivering a fine mist at
from so to 100 pounds pressure at the
nozzle, and finds that spraying may
be cheaply and effectively done. A
sprinkler or spraying machine which
will deliver the liquid at such a low
pressure that. it forms in drops on
the leaves will not meet the require
ments as the drops will roll off the
leaves.
The best mixture for spraying pur-
poses of this nature was found to be
made by dissolving 100 pounds of iron
sulphate (copperas) in flfty-two gal
Ions of water. Stir with a hoe until
dissolved and then strain into the
spraying machine through several
thicknesses of cheese cloth. In other
words, make a 20 per cent solution
