FOLK FOR PRESIDENT
Washington Democrats Plan to Start
Boom for Missourian at Pull
man May 1.

There will be gathering of promi-
nent democrats at Pullman on Sat
urday, May 1, when Joseph w. Folk,
ex-governor of the show me" state
will lecture in the gymnasium of
Washington State College. The
plan is to have democrats love
feast and all of the prominent demo-
Gratis of eastern Washington are in
yited to be present and meet the man
whom some of the enthusiastic dem
ocrats hope to see become the demo-
cratic nominee for president in 1912.
A general invitation has been ex-
tended to all democrats to meet at
Pullman on that date and confer
with the noted reform governor of
Missouri. 1t is planned to have a
dem ocratic rally at Pullman in the
afternoon and if possible to have
Governor Folk speak to the demo-
Gratis on political matters. In the
evening he is to lecture at the col
lege and hundreds of people from all
parts Of the Inland Empire are eX-
pected to attend the lecture, for
which special trains will be run
by the railroads.
That the western democrats h Ye
dispaired of being able to land Br! N
in the chair and are anxious to 81
cure a candidate from tn midAl,
west it is understood that Folk has
been selected by many as the most
promising candidate. The meeting
at Pullman next Saturday promises
to be an important one and it is
said that an effort will be made to
get Governor Folk to announce him
self as a candidate at that time.
The honor of having the announce
ment made in Washington is regard
ed by many democrats as we'll worth
a trial for the reason that it will
advertise the northwest country and
northwestern democrats in a favor

male from here.

TAKES TWO KINDS OF POISON

NORTH YAKIMA, April 21.-In
an attempt to take his life here yes
terday G. W. Hewitt saved himself
from death by taking two kinds of
poison.
Hewitt, who was brooding over the
loss of his wife, who eloped with
another man, bought two kinds of
poison and swallowed both with the
result that one drug counteracted the
effect OF the other, leaving the man
uninjured.
Hewitt is left with three small
children to care for since the depart
ure of his wife some weeks ago.
When she disappeared he thought
she had been lost and hunted sew
eral days for her. Recently he learn
ed of his wife's unfaithfulness.

tinually cry for their mother and that
the father was unable to stand their
bcsceching cries.

farmers who were led to believe that

this alcohol in place of other fuel.
The result has been disappointing to
such farmers. The price of alcohol

FARMERS cows PROFITABLE


A dispatch from Troy to the
Spokesman-Revsew of the goth says:
Eight ordinary mileh COWS, owned
by Elef Martinson, a progressive
Swedish farmer, earned SS.75 each
during the month of March through
the sale OF butter fat to the Pine
Creek Dairy Company of Spokane.
MIR. Martinson has no blue blooded
COWS of celebrated milk strains, but
he proposes to improve the strain
as rapidly as possible as he has
successfully demonstrated that the
dairy side Of farming is a remunera-
tive field.
He received check for $3.50
the proceeds OF his small herd, while
lis neighbor, Peter Flodin. receiy-
ed a check for S61.40 for butter fat
sold from eight COWS. MIR. Martin
son owns a silo In which he preserves
ereon feed for the cows during the
cold months, when butter fat is
scarce and at a premium. He grows
several acres of corn which is con-
verified into ensilage, while he has
a clover field which is worth more
than double it's acreage in wheat.
With corn and clover chopped and
cured into a silo Mr. Martinson has
the best milk-producing feed obtain-
able and his dairy cows are paying
for themselves twice every II
months.
The butter fat is sold, while the
skinned milk is fed to hogs, and
from The profits of the by-product
MIR. Martinson gets almost enough
to pay for the keep of his cows. The
Swedish farmers are watching the
silo experiment and it is certain that
the area planted in corn will be
greatly increased this spring, while
number of silos will be built this
summer.
More farmers are going into the
dairy business each year and Troy
is rapidly assuming Importance as a
cream shipping station, 1t is esti-
mated that $4,000 worth of butter

Separate Hoppers for Different Grains

One of the greatest objections to the
hopper system of feeding is that the
hens must either use the mixture you
give them, whether they want it or
not. or else they will waste some kinds
while picking for what they like. To
overcome this, use several hoppers,
each with one kind of grain in it.
This gives the hen chance to balance
her own ration.

AIsyke CIover.-Alsyke clover can
be grown on land that is too wet for
the growing of red clover 1t is thus
of great value in many parts of the
United States in which the drainage
of land is in a very backward condi-
ton, and is likely to be backward for
a long time to come. We commend
this clover for trial in all such loca-
tions. Where it is difficult to grow
any kind ola legume, the land generally
needs a crop such as alsyke clover
to put the soil in good condition, or
as good as can be hoped for on un.
drained land. The hay from alsyke
clover is finer than from red clover
and not so much is produced per acre,
but it is richer in nitrogen, which is
very important consideration.
