NOT LYING DOWN

1t is not uncommon for horse to
stand all night in his stall in the
stable. Apparently such horse con-
tinues in good health and feeds and
works as we'll as others. but as a
rule his legs swell and he shows fati-
que much sooner than the horse that
takes his natural rest.
The remedy for not lying down Is
box stall. No means, gentle or
harsh will force horse to lie down
unless he be thrown, and In such a
case he will arise again on the first
opportunity. o
The reason that some horses sleep
standing is that they fear TO lie down
when tied, or that they have been
cast In the night and fear a repeti-
ton of the experience. A fresh, we'll
made bed will sometimes tempt the
tired horse to lie down.

growing a winter crop such as rye,
and blowing it under and best Of all
by rotating the crops. A crop Of grass
and especially clover adds humus as
well as nitrogen, (which will be dis
cussed in a later issue.) The common
practice of allowing the ground to re-
main bare during the winter must not
continue The winter rains are all
lost, and with the water goes the
soil. The cover crop in winter saves
the needed water and the soil.
If the soil is a heavy clay 1t
should be plowed early and deep. Shall
low blowing washes more than does
the deep, because when We have less
loose soil to absorb the moisture. II
the water is absorbed, it will not
run and wash away the soil.
Pillow up your corn ground NOW an
give II a chance to take in good
water supply, it will in many cases
add five bushels to the acre. You
can get the same amount of corn that
you expected and have some soil left
for clover. cowpeas or some Other
crop that will bring good money and
at the same time build up the soil
Do not pillow clay when it is wet en-
ough to turn up in large smooth
chunks.
A thin layer of loose top soil Is
called a mulch, and a dust mulch IN
the growing season is like a blanket

weather cultivate often and shallow

for the unneeded three fourths tC

dition to hold it. 1t will absorb the

Census Bureau. II is said that the
Bureau will be able to get better
men this way than II they were
forced to take appointees, no matter
how poorly fitted for the work, simply
because there were few employees
from their particular state in the
service. However, IL is not certain
that this provision will become law.
MIR. Taft is evidently trying to get
onto the best of terms with Congress
so that he can get them to pass the
laws he desires next winter. When
the tariff bill passed the House on
Friday Mrs. Taft and Helen Taft
were in the galleries, and later Mr..
Taft sent his compliments to the
House for acting with such energy
and promptness.
UP TO THE SENATE.
AS a matter of fact the tariff bill
will really be made in the Senate.
and the Finance Committee Of that
body with Senator Aldrich in control,
have already declared for changes
so important as to make the bill a
very different one from that which
passed the House on Friday.
1t looks as though a pretty good
bill would finally be turned out Hides
are evidently going to be free. So
are tea, coffee, and steel. Oil is go
ing to be free, but several import
ant articles which are by-products Of
oil will be protected, so that the
Standard Oil Company is not left out
in the cold as badly as the House
meant to leave it. There seems to
have been a sort of trick played on
the House by the leaders. Serene
Payne himself asked that all duty be
removed from crude and refined petro
lum, and this was passed. But he
said nothing about petroleum products
like vaseline. dyes, etc. and the re-
suit is that these substances are pro-
tected. Mr.. Payne claims that they
are included under the term refined"
coal oil, and go are free. But there
is a great deal of dispute about the
matter, and the House may take the
bill back into its hands to correct
what its members seem to think is c
sad joke on them.
There is talk of Uncle Joe Cannon
as Senator from Illinois. Lots of peo-
pie would be glad to honor the old
man in that way at the end Of his
long career, and his promotion would
leave a place in the House which
would undoubtedly be filled within
short time by a less tyrannical
Speaker. 1t looks at present as If
Tawney of Minnesota would be the
next Speaker, however and he would
be almost as bad as Cannon.
Representative Edwards and Ben
nett of Kentucky distinguished them
selves this week by their independent
and admirable stand on the lumber
tariff,

since ne is a Unitarian But he GER
tainly is breaking all records for at
tending the church of his choice,
sueh as it is. Every Sunday he starts
out from the White House promptly
at quarter to eleven O'Clock with Mrs.
Taft and the children and about three
hundred sight-seers who are always
on hand since the regularity Of the
trip has been impressing itself on the
minds Of the general public.
Yesterday, Easter Sunday, he de-
cided to evade the crowds and so
went to Mrs. Taft's church, the Ep-
iscopalian church of st. Johns. But
the crowd laid wait for him at the
White House gate and followed him
Just the same as it usually does. 1t
was really a comical sight to see
the big President and his lady traip-
sing across the park with four
hundred or more tourists. mostly
female, tagging along behind. The
approaches to the church were crowd
ed. and the service almost a farce,
according to eye-witnesses. The
writer did not himself attend on this
occasion. After church Mr.. Taft was
saluted by the enormous crowd which
gathered outside, the day being a
fine one. He and Mrs. Taft tried
to walk back through Lafayette Park,
the distance being only a hundred
yards or so,-but required the aid of
policemen to clear the way for
part of the walk. AT All Souls
Church, where the Tafts usually at
tend, there was a crowd of equal
volume, and much disappointment
was shown when it turned out that
the President had gone to his wife's
church. It is being said that Mr.. Taft
would really do more for the church
meetings by staying away than by
going.
BESIDES THE TARIFF.
The main interest of the past
week has Gel tered on the tariff. but
two or three other important events
have occurred. There has been
small Japanese delegation here in re-
ference to the big Worlds Fair to
be held In Japan next year. The
United States has given a large sum
Of money in order that our country
may be well represented at this
worlds fair, and the Japs are CRATE
full, since it enables them to ask the
nations of Europe to be just as
generous.
The Census Bill is in the hands of
the Senate. The latest move is TO
arrange so that the appointments TO
work on the next Census will not be
appointed In accordance with the
population OF the several states but
will simply be made by a free-for-all
examination which persons from any
state may enter. The candidates
who get the best grades in the ex-
animation will get the work, no mat
ter what state they come from. For
instance II Massachusetts, sends more
people to pass the examinations than
Ohio she will get more men on the !

Land Values Increasing.

With complaint heard on every
hand that the drift of population
from the farms to the cities con-
tinues and that agriculture is q
neglected if not despised vocation,
the value of farm land is advancing
with a rapidity probably never be-
fore known in the history OF this
country.
No more promising and seeming
ly no surer form of investment than
farm land can be found, and while
the East may be an exception in
respect to the present advance in
value of land of that kind. it is no
exception 50 far as investments
with view to a future advance
are concerned. If the tendency Of
farm land to increase in value con-
tinues in the West. the abandoned
farms of New England and the
Middle States will come into the
market and values there as we'll as
elsewhere will increase.
It is chiefly in the Mississippi
valley and the far West that the
advance in value is commanding
attention; and it seems to be in
part a result of the demand for
homes. Yet the drift to the cities
continues. The seeming paradox
can be explained only upon the
theory that the growth in popula-
tion provides both for the drift in
question and for the number OF
homeseekers who by inve sting in
farm land are causing it to advance.
This pressure Of population will
not cease. 1t will make stronger
and stronger demand upon the. land
for homes. Tracts now held in
large acreage will be cut into small
farms, which will be placed under
more careful tillage than that
known at present. and thus produc.
tion will justify the higher price

WATCH the immigration figures.
They serve as fairly accurate ba-
rometer of business. During the
last fiscal year we received almost
10000 immigrants. and 400, 900
went back to their native countries.
The net increase of aliens was
$4,000. more. more than two and
q half times the gain of the preced-
ing year. The application Of these
figures to business is this: When
business is good, or getting better
here. immigration increases. and
remigration decreases. In times of
business depression the remigration
Of aliens increase until. as in the
panic times, It exceeds the alien
movement to this country.

OKLAHoMA's bank deposit guar
antee law is having its first real
test. A bank in Oklahoma City
failed and at once the state took
charee. The bank had $1,000, 900
Of deposits, including $50. 900 OF
the state guaranty fund. OF the
depositors Iso were other banks in
the state, and they were vitality
interested in the prompt working
Of the law. The bank commits
si0ner took charge. and found that
he could raise over million dollars
for fund out of which to pay de.
positors by assessing the state
banks. The available resources Of
the suspended bank will more than
make up the amount needed to pay
depositors in full within sixty days.
So far, so good; but the banks
which have been assessed are going
to be rather inquisitive about the
affairs of the Columbia Bank &
Trust Company. They will even
want to know whether the state
banking department knew of the
banks condition, and what it did
to prevent the disaster. Salts
factory answers to all these ques-
ti0ns will have lot to do with the
fate of the deposit guarantee exper-
iment. Epworth Herald.
