A sudden change Of food In horses

Mr.. B. L. Dyer who has been work

Mr.. Gates planted 10 acres of Green
Mountains. using 100 lbs. fertilizer.
About 3 acres have been dug and they
are yielding at the rate of 300 bushels
to the acre, of merchantable pota-
toes. The growth is so uniform that
there are no little ones to speak of,
and they all go as market potatoes.

According to the report of the Cat
tie Bureau there Is some indication
of an increase of the dangerous dis
ease, glander. More horses and mules
died or were destroyed from this dis
ease in Massachusetts during the past
year than for any year of which there
is report. The cases number 941.
But careful attention to the items sug-
gets that the increase is mostly acci-
dental, and Is owing to the cases
brought into the State from other
sections. Nearly all the State cases
we're in the eastern half of the State
many of them being In the large cities.

Aroostook county has often been
fortunate in having good potatoes In
abundance when the rest of the coun-
ty needed to buy. This year Is not
so lucky as some. The weather man
has been contrary up there. and the
crop has suffered somewhat at least
in condition.; just how much remains
to be seen. AS it Is there will be mil
lions of dollars brought into northern
Maine for potatoes. Still 1t is a
time when the specialist is almost in
clined to wish he had beer little less
spcial, and had raised at least enough
of something else to insure the situ-
alton on his farm.

THE WHEAT HARVEST.

Ninety per cent of the wheat of
North Dakota will be in the shock by
this evening and by Monday night
there will only be few latea fields
awaiting the binders. In some locali-
ties early fax has already been cut.
The rye oats and barley have been
harvested and much of it has been
threshed.
Wheat threshing has been started
in the southern and eastern counties.
The yields so far are of rather disap-
pointing nature. The excessive heat
hit the wheat-especially late grain
at a crucial stage and the damage by
blight was much greater than has been
estimated. The grain in the northern
counties suffered more seriously from
this cause than that in the southern
half. In a few Localities there have
also been damages by black rust
What promised three weeks ago to be
a bumper crop will now be only a good
crop-taking the state all over. There
will still be more bushels of grain
raised than ever before-due, to a large
extent to the increased acreage.

COLD WATER PARTY
FORTY YEARS old
PRoHI5ITIoNIsTs WILL OBSERVE
ANNIVERSARY BY A GATHER
ING IN CHICAGO.

Chicago, Aug. 2o.-Prohibitionist
from all quarters Of the country win
celebrate in Chicago Sept. AZ, the for
tieth anniversary OF the founding Of
their party. Announcement was made
at national headquarters yesterday
that extensive preparations are making
for the accession, and that fully 10000
blue riibbonists from outside are ex-
pected to attend and to march in the
temperance parade in which 100000
persons are to be in line.
The party was organized in Chicago
Sept. l. 1869, and the celebration has
been put back three weeks on account
Of the demonstration the temperance
forces have arranged for Sept. 25. Old
timers who were present when the
party was born have written that they

Russell of New Haven, Mich. who
was temporary chairman of the con-
yention at which the party had its
birth, and Samuel Dickle. of Albion
Mich, who was among those present
on the programme will be five men
who have run for president on the
prohibition ticket and three who have
run for vice president. In living pres
idential candidates, the party outnum-
bers the two big parties, a fact to
which National Chairman Charles r
Jones points with pride. The five sur

a more feasible method Of ascertain
ing the business of corporations from
their own books rather than by the
inquisitorial features embodied in the
Payne tariff law for the collection of
the corporation tax. 1t is proposed to
draft a statute which will be put up
to congress as the best method of
curing the corporate evils which now
exist and at the same time protect the
legitimate interests of the corpora
tions.
One result of the new program may
be to curtail the powers Of the inter-
state commerce commission by making
1t judicial body and giving It's ad-
administrative work to the bureau of
corporations. This will elevate this bu-
reau in the department Of commerce
and labor to "a point near the depart
ment of justice.
The bureau Of corporations will be
required to find the evidence Of Illegal
combinations, and the department of
justice will be entrusted with the task
of prosecution. This work Will be un-
der the immediate supervision Of Wade
I'll. Ellis, assistant to the attorney gen.
eral, and a close friend of President
Taft,
The new plan provides for sound
laws under which convictions can be
obtained, instead of the old method by
which nearly all prosecutions failed

New York, Aug. 20. - About the

new Law commission" will meet here
and begin the most careful inyestiga-
tion OF trusts and trust law ever un-
dertaken. The commission Is to con-
suit with all the trust busters" and
'turst makers" and investigate all the
laws formulated to date. The reasons
for the failure Of present laws to get
results will be carefully gone over,

TEMPERANCE AND HEAT.

When Sol RACES in the heavens, pru-
dent man will keep as cool as he can
without and within. His mind will be
poised, the tribes Of life will not heat
him and he will wear clothing as light
in weight and open in texture-and as
loosely fitting as is convenient and
permissible.
Upon persons Of average endurance
none of the recent hot days has been
extremely severe. Those whose oc-
cupations keep them sheltered from the
sun have gotten along pretty we'll, and
those who have to work In the sun
generally have stood the heat without
wincing, If not succumbing because of
peculiar disabilities-such as age or
sickness or Incorporate habits.
shield from the effects of midsummer
heat, Alcohol Is almost deadly to
many constitutions If imhibed to ex-
cess when Sirius rules the skies. But
temperance can go much further than
to avoid alcoholic stimuIants. The
exercise of temperance should begin
in the mind. Do not worry Do not
be fretfuL Try to be polite, suave,
easy-going with your associates. The
reflection upon yourself of your ex-
ternal maners will render you COM
Portable or uncomfortable.
Ice water is nearly as deadly as al
cohol-if used to excess when the mer-
curry ascends into the nineties. It does
not heat the blood, but 1t is apt to
bring on much internal woe-and often
intestinal disorders of a virulent char
acter. Nor does iced water, gulped
down, assuage thirst except for a mere
moment Cool water, held in the mouth
an instant and swallowed in small por-
tions, is helpful when one feels sthe
heat. Lines and lemons form the
basis of many healthful drinks. d..
In ones eating, it is well to be ex-
tremely abstemiousI Most midsum-
mer disorders not directly attributable
to the heat itself, or to alcoholic stim-
ulation, arise from. indulgence in un-
ripe fruits, vegetables-such as green
corn-which are not fitted for many
stomachs, too great heartiness in the
consumption of heavy meats. Any
doctors of experience knows that more
persons perish in the dog days from
intemperance in food than from other
causes.
Most of us would barely mind the
heat If we dressed with intelligent dis
regard of convention. Tight starched
collars are of themselves almost
enough to produce apoplexies. Dark
colored clothes are much more uncom-
Portable than are light. Close fitting
sleeves and confined wrists raise ones
temperature.
Temperance in mind and body will
rout the hottest sun.

CENSUS SUPERVISORS.

The letter of President Taft relative
to the appointment of census super
visors has occasioned lot of favorable
comment. The New York Journal of
Commerce has the following to say:
If the presidentss letter to Secretary
Nagel in REGARD to the appointment of
census supervisors and enumerators is
literally and faithfully observed we
shall for the first time within the MEM
ory of the living generation have a CEN
sus the value of which is not impaired
by mixing the service of taking it with
politics, The letter has a tone of can
dor and straightforwardness and a
plainness and positiveness of language
that is refreshing. There are to be 900
or more supervisors, and they will have
complete discretion in the appointment
OF enumerators. The president says:
THE success of the census will de-
pend upon the efficiency and strict at
tention to duty of the supervisors and
upon the intelligence of the enumera-
tors and their faithful application to
the business in hand"
This lays down plain business prin-
place, but in the public service II is a
novelty. AS there has to be a super
visor In nearly every congressional
district, the president has found it the
best and quickest means Of selecting
suitable" men to consult senator's and
congressman as to competent candi-
dates, but as that plan many easily be
perverted to political purposes he con-
siders 1t a reasonable requirement.
that any one accepting appointment as
a supervisor or enumerator shall. while
in that service or employment, avoid an
active part in politics. He according
ly orders that in the regulations to be
adopted there be a provision that ANY
supervisor or enumerator who uses his
influence with his subordinates or COL
leagues to assist any party or any
candidate in primary or general cleo
tion, or who takes any part, other than
merely casting his vote, in politics, ma
tional, states or local, either by SER
vice upon political committee. bv
public addresses, by the solicitation of
votes or otherwise. shall at once be
dismissed from the service"
That sounds like business" ana II
competent supervisors are appointed,
and they use their discretion wisely in
selecting enumerators, and If these in
structions are carried out and strictly
observed. we are more likely than for q
long time past to get census figures
and information that can be relied upon
as reasonably accurate AS the presi-
dent says. 1T is Of the highest import
ance that the census should be taken
