WASHINGTON the giving out
w of the news at the White House
perhaps the most striking departure
from the Roosevelt methods has been
shown since March 4.
The day of the "fair-haired boy" as
the Roosevelt newspaper favorites
were locally (and perhaps enviously)
known, has passed. There are no
press agents of the administration, or
if there are they do not appear as
such at the White House.
Mr.. Taft had not been president
very long before he announced that
he would cease seeing newspaper rep
resentatives with the same freedom
they had been accustomed to at the
White House. The first version of this
was that when he had anything to
communicate to the newspapers he
would send for representatives and
talk to them, but that at other times
he did not care to see them.
Either this was not his position or
he soon modified it. Now the practice
is to see newspaper representatives
by appointment, and when the inter-
view is sought the president requires
that the subject of 1t shall be stated.
This gives him an opportunity to de-

Cows Peas Good for Hogs.

Fencing is becoming more expen-
sive every year and we can hardly af-
ford to fence farm into four or six
fields, as was the custom of our boy
hood days, so we try to partially
solve the problem by fencing the
whole farm against cattle only with
permanent hog lots. The idea of a Sc
ries of hog lots, all of them to be
broken up at least once year and
planted to some forage crop. seems
to gain favor as it is better under
stood. All of the lots may be sown
to rye in the fall for winter or spring
pastures; in one oats and peas to sue
coed the rye, rape to follow the oats
and peas, while the other is planted
in sorghum. Whenever man has
grown COW peas as crop for grazing
hogs he is never willing to go through
a season without patch of them.

ENGLAND HAS INFLUENZA.
Cats, Dogs and Other Domestic AMI
mails Suffer from Epidemic; Some
Cases Fatal.

Even the domestic animals in Lon
don have not been free from the pre-
vailing epidemic of influenza Many
horses are included in the list of vic
tins of the disease, and their symp-
toms are very like those of human be-
ings.
Dogs have form of influenza cold.
In few cases it is fatal The best
authorities do not believe they can
communicate the disease to their
owners.
Cats are great sufferers, and their
symptoms are exactly like those of a
human being. They can catch the ali.
ment from men or women. and can
communicate it to others in turn.
The lucky outdoor animals at the
ZOO have always escaped the flu
and the apes last winter were free
from it, but the previous year they
had dreadful time of it and one
chimpanzee died. Their symptoms
were uncannily human, even to the de-
preston which followed.
1t was plain from their behavior
that the orangs and chimpanzees suf-
fered from headache They also lost
their appetites and catarrhal indica-
lions were noticed. 1t was trying
time in the monkey house, for sick
monkeys are painfully like sick men,
so the keepers at the ZOO say, and last
winter they were watched carefully
to subdue at the start any other out
breaks of influenza colds among the
apes. 1t is always very contagious
in it's monkey form to other monkeys,
but the keepers did not catch it at all
The flu seems to last longer
among the apes than it does with
the other animals, and leaves them as
weak as the strong man is when he
finally conquers this enemy

FEED FOR THE THIN HORSE.
Rations to Be Given Lean Horse;
Wxter and Exercise Among
Essentials.

For the grain ration give three
quarts of whole oats and three quarts
Of wheat bran three times day. Put
oats and bran in a bucket and add
one tablespoonful of raw linseed oil.
Then wet the whole with cold water
till a stiff mash results. Stir we'll and
give as one ration. Should the horse
be old it may be better to feed the
oats ground. In every feeding put
level tablespoon of salt. With this
give all the hay the animal will eat,
removing what remains in the manger
each time. Also give all the water he
will drink. It will be we'll for this
purpose to keep pail of water in the
stall where the horse can help him
self as he pleases. A box stall is
rather better than a narrow one un-
less the animal is regularly taken out
for exercise. The oil is by some
horsemen said to affect the liver, but
SO far the writer has never seen any
unfavorable results when given as
above recommended. Better effects
have been gained by its presence in
the ration than with the same grain
fed without it. The salt, too, is a
benefit. Some horses scour badly
under this feed. The sloppier the
mash, that is the more water it con-
tains, the faster will the horse gain.
If he should continue too loose in
the bowels use less water and make
the mash quite dry. Water is fat
tening also and the salt in the ration
induces larger consumption of liquid
The above is recommended for
horses of medium size, say around
1900 pounds. Larger horses require
more food and smaller ones probably
little less. This is true of horses
at all times, the more weight they
carry the more they should have.
For a general feed corn and oats in
equal parts make avery good grain
ration for a heavy farm horse doing
slow work. For the driver oats alone
or with little bran is better. With
corn the bran helps to tighten the ra-
ton and aids digestion. l should rec
ommend putting a little bran always
with any grain ration for this reason.
In winter farmers frequently keep
their work horses on straw with a lit
tie grain. Where this is done bran
should always make part of this
ration, for the straw is binding to the
bowels and this tendency the bran
counteracts. Some horses are pre-
disposed to collie and a straw and
corn diet is almost sure to cause
trouble at frequent intervals with any
such cases.

Good King Oscar
A Character Sketch Of the Late Swedish Ruler
Written by John E. Felers.

phine have risen to kingly power. Il
seems now that as the years roll on
the writer's of solemn history will find
in the tragic story of these island
lovers (for they were each born on an
island) more and more that will mark
them as actors of equal parts on the
worlds political and revolutionary
stage. Napoleon divorced Josephine
that he might establish a perpetual
dynasty; but-"Man proposes, God dis
poses"
When in her childhood home on the
Island Of Martinique, Josephine was
betrothed to the Viscount Beauhar-
nais, to whom she was married at the
age of IA. From this marriage two
children were born-Eugene and Hor-
tense. The Viscount Beauharnais was
executed by order of Robespierre, and
shortly afterward Josephine was mar
ried to Napoleon. Her son, Eugene
Beauharnais, married the Princess
Augusta of Bavaria. To them was born
a daughter, whom Eugene named jose
phine, in honor of his mother. When
the younger Josephine was 16, she
was married to Oscar l., who succeed.
ed his father Bernadotte as king OF
Sweden. and nearly ten years after the
great Napoleon had slipped into the
shadow, the late king of Sweden-Os-
car 1I.-was born to the younger
Josephine. We have also fine ex-
ample of romantic justice in the fact
that the Empress Josephine, after all,
gave Bonaparte an heir in the person
of her grandson Napoleon ILL.,, who
was the son of Louis Bonaparte, king
of Holland, who married Hortense
Beauharnais, Josephine's daughter.
King Oscar was an Independent
thinker. He feared nothing except to
do wrong. He moved slowly, but &C.
casion always found him on time in
settling questions of importance. This
splendid king, whose rugged character
gave strength to every other monarchy
in Europe, died as he had lived, brave
ly, cOurageously. His influence will
shine as the great Northern Light"
in political history throughout the
ages that are to be.
In conversation with W. w. Thorn
as, Jr., late minister to Sweden from
the United States, King Oscar once
said: 1T is part of my politics to
go among my people as much as pos
sible, to mix with them, to learn their
wants and aspirations, not only among
the citizens of the capitals, but to
travel widely among the citizens all
over the two kingdoms, to make their
acquaintance personally and to take
them by the hand"

it is possible that there were still
living persons enumerated in the first
census, taken 40 years before.

there being 33,345 of that family.

There Is story to the effect that
up among the cold, bleak fields in the
northern part of Sweden, there once
lived Lapp, who in some way had
incurred the enmity of his Swedish
neighbors. His sole earthly posses
sion was a small herd of reindeer.
His neighbors sought to drive him
away, and among other indignities i'm
posed upon him they killed his entire
herd. The Swedish officers controlled
the courts. and the Lapp was denied
justice at their hands.
It was dreary winter-never so
cold and dreary anywhere else as in
that far north country. The snow was
deep. It was the second watch" in
the Scandinavian night. More than
two months must pass before the sun
would return from it's summer home
Securely fastening his "skidor" to
his feet, the detected Lapp glided
swiftly over the snow several hundred
miles to Stockholm, the Swedish cap
ital. He knew that he was poor and
ignorant, but he was a Swedish sub
ject, and as such would be received
by King Oscar. He told his story. The
king listened. He at once Or
dered thorough investigation made
and the report verified the Lapp's COM
plant. The king compelled the STAY
ers of the reindeer to make full res
titution to the Lapp and punished the
officers who had denied him justice.
This is but one of many instances In
which good King Oscar was found on
the side of the oppressed. His whole
nature was in sympathy with the help
less. because he had read history. His
mother was the Empress Josephine's
granddaughter. He knew that his H.
lustrious kinswoman was driven from
France, repudiated, broken-hearted, q
victim of the rankest injustice that
ever threw it's midnight over a noble
life. He knew, too, that, although the
man who laid the love of Josephine
upon the altar of his ambition was the
emperor of great people, and per
haps the greatest military leader Of
modern times, all his achievements
combined we're not sufficient to atone
for that one cruel act.
1t is an interesting fact that al
most every relative, friend, favorite
and sycophant whom Napoleon placed
on the different thrones in Europe has
fallen from power, while King Oscar,
the direct descendant of the Empress
Josephine, was one of the most be-
loved rulers in the world. The de-

years, have disappeared into common
