nodSinr the MIN I..ne.

President Taft lays much stress
upon side issues in his western dis
cussions of the tariff problem He
tells the western farmers that the
country will gain immensely from the
tax on corporations. He points with
pride to the new tariff commission,
which will furnish a scientific base
for future tariff adjustments.
What his western hearers really
wish Mr.. Taft to explain is why he
signed a tariff law that admittedly
violates the Republican partys solemn
ante-election pledges. Mr.. Taft adj
mits that the wooden schedule is a
direct violation of these pledges. But
his only answer to the main question
is that If he had vetoed the bill in
its entirety he would have endangered
the solidarity of the Republican
party.
This might be considered an argu-
ment IL President Taft's hearers were
exclusively partisan Republicans
Even then it would be a lame apology.
For we cannot assume that the Re-
publican party lacks patriots or that
a Republican President would not play
better politics by keeping his pledges.
The main issue is still written large
throughout the West If President
Taft does not actually evade it, his
explanations hardly measure up to an
adequate standard.
The West would like to know why
it must pay tribute indefinitely to
Eastern mill bosses. And President
Taft will not, or cannot, tell.

The country needs no Other evidence
that the views of Aldrich are the
views of Taft. The Presidents sigma
ture made the measure an Aldrich-
Taft one. AS such it has been launch
ed and as such it will be criticised
1t was Aldricn who had President
Taft's ear at Beverly, the summer cap
ital when othc- statesmen OF tile first
rank sought hearing in vain 1t is
Aldrich, according to Mr.. Taf,s own
prediction, who is slated to lift the
nation from its financial morass and
give it smooth sailing.
President Taft will doubtless re-
iterate this belief on his Western tour.
The reception of these predictions
may embarrass him. The prestige of
the presidential Office is one thing,
but the role of apologist for Aldrich
is another.
Mr.. Taft will find, before his West
ern tour is far along that the people
who elected him President have rad
ically different views on the nations
tariff needs than those held by the
New England group of mill bosses
which are imbedded in the Aldrich-
Taft BILL

Some years ago, as preliminary to
further investigation on the influence
of breed, feed and environment in the
disposition OF fat and lean hogs, the
Ohio Experiment Station decided to
make use of a large collection OF
shoats representing all the common
breeds. for the purpose OF learning
whether a physiological difference in
digestive capacity In the digestion of
starchy and protein feeds, respectively,
could be demonstrated in hogs VI rfs
two types mentioned. In Other words.
whether the Poland China pig, as an
example. had acquired by inheritance
capacity for digesting and assimilat-
ing wide (carbonaceous) rations, such
as corn, in greater degree than the
Yorkshire, and on the other hand, as
compared with these breeds, possessed
smaller capacity for utilizing narrow
(protein) rations.
The records of the experiment show
that:
/. Measured by actual increase in
WtlSnI anu ny ItidllNt 10
feed consumed, the lard type of hog
possesses much the larger capacity sor
utilizing rations Of wide nutritiye ra-
ito
Q. BY the same standard the bacon
hogs showed slightly the greater ca
paclty for digesting narrow or pro
tein rations.
8. Measured by increase In weight
for feed consumed. the wide radon
proved four-f1fths as efficient az chc
narrow ration in the case OF the lard
type hogs and three-fifths as efficient
for the bacon type.
4. In both type of hogs the largest
increase in weight. relative to feed
consumed, and apparently the latest
hogs, resulted from the feeding of the
more heterogeneous ration.
5. OF all the breeds tested, the
Tamworth proved to be the least
adapted for growth on an exclusive
corn diet.

The Rye Crop.

The number of acres all devoted to
rye in the United States in the year
1905 was 1,730,159; average produc-
tion per acre, 1875 bushels; average
farm price, Gil cents; average value
per acre, S10.07. Twenty bushels an
acre is considered fair crop, but 30
bushels an acre are frequently raised.
1t is extensively grown for green ma
nuring to be plowed under to enrich
soils with humus, and is largely sown
particularly in the South), as for
age crop. Rye is subject to less mis-
haps than any other grain except
buckwheat 1t is subject to a disease
known as ergot, in Ibis country usual
ly called false rye" Ergot is poison
Gus. There are cases on record where
whole families have been poisoned by
eating bread that was badly mixed
with ergot. In this country the clean
ing works in the mills separate 1t out
of the grain before grinding, which is
easily done, as the ergot is much larg-
er than the kernels of rye

The naval correspondent of the
Daily Telegraph, of London, reminds
the world that the great British
Dreadnought, which is credited with
reyolutionizing battleship construc-
ton, is a direct descendant of that
Monitor of Ericsson's which nearly
half a century ago caused still
greater change in the navies of the
world The Monitor, he argues, was
the first "all big guns ship, as well
as the first with a revolving turret.

design of that ship may be seen the
germ Of the Dreadnought of to-day.

The most common method for bud

it under the bark of the tree with the
wood attached. Another method is TO
take out the wood that lies under the
bud and insert the bud in the same
way. A third way is to girdIe the bud
ding stick and split down on the back
side from the bud, peel off the bark,
then lay this around the sprout to be
budded on, cut through the bark and

which either have been totally wrecked
or damaged. 1t is thought that many
lives have been claimed along the
coast.
The storm reached it's height at l
o'clock in the afternoon, when the
wind had an estimated velocity of 100
miles an hour. There was a hard,
steady blow from a. m. to 3 p. M,
when the wind began to die down, and
by 4 o'clock the center of the hurricane
had passed.
Besides the several score of resi-
dences either wrecked or blown from
their foundations, nine factories were
partly destroyed, including the Ha-
vana-American. Martinez. Nichols. Ruy
Lopez, Manuel Lopez, Fleitas Toreys,
Cortez, and Wolf cigar manufactures.
Two of the city fire engine depart
ments were destroyed and the iremen
narrowly escaped. The top of the
First National Bank was blown off, the
postofice damaged, and two running
gears of the government coaling sta
ton were wrecked.
AS soon as the wind had subsidized,
plundering began. The city police
force was unable to cope with the sit

stringent measures to suppress the
looting, his proclamation of martial
law resulting. Almost every national

CHAPTER XVI.

Irene had always known that it must
happen sooner or later. and though
often and often she had schooled her
self to bear the meeting when it should
come. yet the shock of it tonight
found her entirely unprepared. Irene
had never known Carroll's station in
society, and Lady Garland had often
declared with angry energy that he
was an impostor altogether. and that
he probably belonged to no society
whatever. But an unerring net
told her that her aunt was wrong.
Therefore. when she began to go out
largely into London society. she had
felt convinced that some day or other
they would certainly meet in some
crowded room.
When. as she apparently caught
sight of him tonight. across the backs
OF the people before her. she was hor-
rified to find how wildly her heart be-
gan TO beat and how every pulse In
her body tingled and quivered with
mingled joy and misery at the sight of
him
Then he turned, but did not look
at her, and all at once, oddly enough II
seemed to her as though his face was

had seen in the concert room at Monte
