AIdrich Ahead

However reprehensible may be
the Aldrich idea concerning the re-
vision of the tariff, and the proposed
income tax, with the aid OF Demo
Gratis, he seems to be able to carry
his point in all essential particulars.
This being the case, any tariff bill
that may reach President Taft will
be framed after the Aldrich model.
Should the President approve a
bill so framed he will prove recreant
to duty, his own assurances, the
pledge of his party, and the interests
Of the common people who have
trusted him.
Should a bill be passed, and
vetoed by the President, the OPP
pressive tariff schedule will con-
tinue in force.
In either case, a storm of right
eous indignation will sweep over the
country that will bode no good to
the Republican party.
Although Democratic votes are
necessary for the success of the Aid
rich plan of tariff revision, the Re-
publican party will justly be held
responsible for any failure to redeem
it's campaign pledge concerning the
tariff.
The Democratic party was even
more specific in it's promise of tariff
reform, but that party will acknow-
ledge no responsibility for the fail
ure of Congress 10 Give the relief
sought by the people, because both
branches of that body are controlled
by Republican majority, upon po-
litical questions. While Democratic
members of Congress are making
possible the prevention of tariff re-
form, they are contemplating with
grim satisfaction the dilemma In
which the Republican party will
find itself in the Congressional cam
paign of next year.

The Jersey cow, Double Time,
No. Isl ,531, owned by the College
of Agriculture of the University of
Wisconsin, Madison, has just COM
pleted years official test, making
the high record of IA, 521 pounds of
milk, containing 691 pounds of
butter fat, equivalent to 500 pounds
Of butter. The milk contained 4.76
per cent fat on the average. The
average daily grain ration for the
year was 1919 pounds. The COW
was fed a mixed ration containing
wheat bran, ground oats, corn meal,
dry distillers' grains, oil meal and
gluten feed with corn silage, sugar
beets, hay and some soiling crops
as roughage. During the year she
made a seven-day official record OF
40 pounds of milk and 20 pounds

1t is expected that the legislature
will adjourn, on the 18th inst, after
a five months session, to meet
again next winter. During this five
months there has been practically
nothing done in the way of impor-
tant legislation, although a number
of important measures we're prom
ised by those who wanted votes at
the last general election. This do
nothing" policy may be partially at
tributed to the fact that the Senate
has been dominated by the La Fol
lette influence, while the Assembly
is controlled by the adherents of
Stephenson. These elements are
bitterly hostile, and cannot harmon
ize upon any proposition in which
there is the slightest risk of either
losing an advantage already pos
sessed, or any chance of one gain
ing an increased advantage over the
other.

The Cooperative Creamery

At the last meeting, on Saturday,
Mr.. C. w. Taylor, as chairman of
the committee on organization, re-
ported in favor of establishing a
creamery substantially on the Bald
win plan, and of continuing the COW
census until the complete territory
is canvassed. For this purpose
blanks were presented for pledaing
the COWS and subscribing for stock.
During the discussion of this re-
port it was revealed that some, who
calculate profit and loss very care
fully, had decided that under pres
ent conditions, it does not pay to
sell cream, and were either making
butter or going out of dairying al
together.
Without cooperation there is no
prospect of any better price for
butter-fat than cents under New
York quotations for butter. This
means a loss to the farmer, in addi-
ton to the cents, the over-run
which is about twenty per cent, and
the butter milk, which was sold, at
Baldwin creamery last year for over
5000.
1t was conceded by everyone pres
ent that if all farmers would join to
gether very considerable part 81
this expense could be cut out, anC
a product now sold at small profit
or even a loss-could be made tC
realize profitable income.
The report of the committee was
unanimously adopted and the com
mittee continued to go on securing
pledges of cows and stock subscrip
tions.
Meeting adjourned subject to cal

While the stand pat Democrats
are voting with the stand pat Re-
publicans in the matter of tariff
legislation it is in rather poor taste
for William ]. Bryan to attack the
tariff plank in the Republican plat
form, and at the same time attempt
to justify the action of the high tar
if Democrats who are working with
Aldrich and Cannon on the ground
that such Democrats are voting fol-
a revenue tariff.

It has been decided to continue
the Senatorial primary probe at
irregular intervals throughout the
remainder of the year, and into the
adjourned session of the Legislature
to be held next winter. The whirl-
wind manner in which the investig-
alton was commenced has settled
down to a practically dead calm,
and there are a whole lot of people
who are not partial to Senator Steph-
enson who believe that if the legis-
lature had a case against him it
could have been proven during four
months of constant effort on the
part of the prosecution.

Memorial Day
BY W. J. BRIER


Rest soldier, rest,
No more shall bugle blare or rafting drum,
Or shrielzing fife,
To direful strife,
Loud summon thee to come
Where the fight RACES hot,
Where the shell and the shot,
Dealing death,
With each BREATH
Tear the swift lines asunder,
Strew the ground with the dead,
Turn the green sward to red
Where the mad lannon's thunder
necessarily peals,
Where the life current runs
Mid the roar of the guns,
Like the ebb of the tide,
From the wound gaping wide;
Where the enemy staggers and reels.
Rest, soldier, rest,
The old flag hutters on the breeze from North
to South.
The blue birds nest
Protects her breast
Within the lannon's mouth,
And the notes Of the dove
From the branches above
Tell of peace,
Sweet release
From the means of the dying.
Let gladstone refrain,
AS a solace from pain.
Sing of duties most trying,
Most manfully done,
Chant through story and song,
And the praises prolOng,
OF these men tried and true
Noble army in blue,
Sound their praise for the great victory won.
Milwaukee Sentinel, Sunday, May 30.

From Farm Burrows in Wisconsin Farmer

It is hard TO see where there can
be any object in keeping youngsters
in school long hours in order to
keep them from being a bother at
home. You cannot make young
ster stick to his books to any adj
vantage after his mind tires.
1t takes some men long while to
see the light. Take, for instance,
in sheep growing. There is no bet
ter way to get weeds under control
on a farm that has been carelesSly
tended or to increase the producing
power of one that has been run
down than to introduce a flock OF
sheep. A lot of men have been farm
ing for forty years and haven gotten
onto this idea yet.
The prettiest little farm home in
this part Of the country is owned by
a man who is an expert worker in
concrete. He has almost supplant-
ed wood with concrete in his farm
improvements. This is true in the
case of sidewalks, posts, watering
tanks, stable and feeding floors.
Now he has planned several small
buildings that are to be constructed
entirely of concrete from the ridge
board to the foundation. He says
it is great fun to live in the concrete
age.
If snow is the poor mans fertilizer
the poor man stands more than an
even show to get bumper crop this
year.
A gentleman of our acquaintance
owns a very speedy dog. He can
run so fast around the straw stack
that he has to jump over himself
every third time around.
A neighbor of mine got very
caustic recently when he wanted to
use the telephone and found several
women apparently in monopoly
Finally, becoming impatient, he
shouted into the receiver: Say,
are you old hens going to rcost on
the line all EVENING""

If farmers would work in harmony
they could corner" wheat and OBJ
tain a dollar a bushel for all of this
cereal that they raise. This would
give farmers a fair margin for their
product without injustice to the
consumer, in the absence of -four
trust, and would be far better than
flour based upon the speculative
price of wheat for which the farmer
receives but seventy cents.

During a recent visit to North
Carolina President Taft counseled
federation, and the building up of a
a healthy opposition in the South,
and assured the people there of his
purpose to give them a fair deal.

hope to become.

President Taft is said to have ex-
pressed the opinion that the tariff
bill will be ready for his signature
by June goth, and that It will doubt
less be of such a character that he
will be able to sign it. Should this
prove to be the case there will have
been a wonderful degree of conces-
sion on the part of both Taft and
Aldrich.

1t is said that millions of copies
of speeches and hundreds Of thous-
ands of letters concerning the tariff
have been Sent out by members of
Congress during the current special
session. Any attempt that may be
made to turn the tide of popular
opinion to the Aldrich plan of tariff
revision will prove a signal failure.

Valuable Antique

Onesimo Salazar, a Mexican liv.

the possessor oil a very valuable
antique. The relic in question is
nothing less than an old mail box
or pouch, which was used 10y the
first Franciscan Fathers who
established the Catholic religion in
New Mexico.
The relic, it is said, was brought
from Spain early in the sixteenth
century and was used in Santa Re
soon after that city was settled by
the Spaniards. During the r.
volution in 1850, when the Span
iards were compelled to flee to
Mexico and leave Santa Fe to her

OF the inhabitants to another set.

Dry Farming is Now Pronounced
Success.

DRY farming is a success.
The experiment station scientists
have proved it TO the farmers.

who scoftod at the new tangled
notions OF raising wheat ten years
ago, are convinced that the sCien.
lists on the experiment station have
the ,'ue recipe Tor combating the
wind and the drouth OF western
Kansas.
The progressive farmers have
adopted the modified dry farming
methods. They have increased
their Yields. The scientists say Il
will take time to persuade all OF
the agriculturalists to use the new
idea but eventually it will trans.
form the semi.arid short grass
country into a garden spot.

it was too hard on the land, but
