What Has Been Accomplished.

lines what has already been accom-
plished. The Interpretation will take
care of itself.
Il. The men and women, now a
great host, who believe that the day
is past when blind brute force should
direct the policies of nations and pre-
side at the settlement of their diff
~ferences, are now thoroughly ryan
lied. A hundred years ago there was
not a society in existence organized
to promote appeal to the forum of
reason and right in the adjustment of
international controversies. To-day
there are more than 500, nearly
every important nation having
its group of peace organizations. Their
constituents are numbered by tens of
thousands, from every rank and class
in Observation-Disclosures, men of
trade and commerce, educators and
~jurists, workingmen, statesmen, rulers
even.

GREAT CONGRESS OF PEACE
WORKERS HELD In CHICAGO
Thousands of the Opponents of Warfare, Including Many
Distinguished Diplomats and Statesmen, Gather to
Discuss Disarmament and Worldwide
Arbitration.

Chicago.-Every civilized country on
the globe was represented in the Sec
ond National Peace Congress, which
began here Monday. The gathering
was the greatest of its kind ever held
in America, and brought to Chicago
some $4,000 persons who are Jealous
workers in the cause of worldwide
peace. Among these we're eminent
statesmen and diplomats of this and
other nations. Unfortunately, official
duties prevented both President Taft,
the honorary president, and Secretary
of War Dickinson, the president of the
congress, from being present.
On Sunday there we're special se-v-
ices in most of the Chicago churches,
peace meetings under the auspices of
socialist and labor organizations, and
a large mass meeting which was adj
dressed by President Schurman of
Cornell university, Rev. Jenkins Lloyd
Jones and DR.. Emil G. Hirsch of Chi
cago.
Welcome to the Congress.
Orchestra hall was filled to the
limit Monday when the first session
was called to order by Robert Treat
Paine of Boston, the presiding officer,
for governors, mayors and hundreds of
clubs had been asked to appoint dele
gates, and most of them had re.
sponded. President Dickinson's ad-
dress, the same he delivered several
weeks ago before the Hamilton club,
was read, and the congress was then
formally welcomed by Gov. Charles S.
Deneen for the state, Mayor Fred A.
Busse for the city and Rev. A. Eugene
Bartlett, chairman Of the reception
committee. The secretary then read a
brief letter from President Taft, in
which the chief executive heartily
commended the aims of the congress.

firmly on the presence on Mars Of
vegetable life, and, because Mars pos
sesses water and an atmosphere, we
find 1t provided with two Of the es-
sential conditions for the develop.
ment and maintenance of vitality.
The mind naturally turns further
sfield to the question of the existence
on Mars Of animal life, and, moreover,
to that Of the possible development
ON the planet Of intelligent beings.
Dr.. Lowell argues that If the polar
ice caps Of Mars have to be tapped to
revivify Its arid wastes such action
must ~postulate intelligence with the
primal motive of self-preservation for
an incentive. This view hinges natural
ly on the assumption that the Marian
canals are the work Of intelligent be-
ings, who constructed them to save
the planet from d~esiccation.

1t was a very beautiful world, too,
as the sun sank slowly out Of sight,
leaving the heavens tinted with scar
let and gold, fading here and there to
amber and palest pink, and we in
stinctively grew silent while watch
ing 1t.
Finally Mr.. Bennett touched me on
the shoulder.

l turned in the direction he indi-
Gated and saw a little skiff under full
sail, heading for the open sea. The
white canvas cleaned rosily pink in
the sunset glow, and we could see the
figure Of a mar silhouetted against
the sky. A fresh breeze had sprung
up and the boat cut through the
waves, now careening to n side UNI

forward as though exulting in its dan

go home, and Mr.. Bennett rose also.
He looked at me In a puzzled, incred-
ulous sort of way and once or twice
seemed about to speak, but thought
better Of 1T. AS we walked toward
MI Blake / remembered the shadows

CLEAN Of gold caught my eye and I
saw he was wearing the scarf-pin with
the Sphinx's head. For some reason

on my lips and a feeling Of dIstrust

marks. l was conscious of a return
of my former depression, also of an
inclination to be very disagreeable
indeed should any one give me the
slightest provocation.
Perhaps my companions realized
this, for at the turn Of the path they
said good-by and went on to the vii
lage, leaving me to return to the cot
tage alone. Far in the distance | saw
a woman's figure l thought might be
Gabrielle coming home along the
shore, and / decided to wait for her.
So | went around to our little slip,
intending to sit upon the ledge until
she arrived. Much to my surprise,
found it already occupied, for Mrs!
Graham sat, or rather crouched, upon
the ledge mufled in a thick shawl.
Her thin hands were clasped so tight
ly together that the veins stood out
like cords and the knuckles were blue
and prominent. Although 1t was evi-
dent from her absorption that she had
not heard me approach she displayed
no surprise when l sat down beside
her and when l spoke she answered as
though l had been there all the time.
The sun had quite set now and the
sky was gray and leaden. The wind
blew sharply from the east, bringing
with it a penetrating chill which made
me SILVER in spite of myself,

you to sit here"
In reply she raised her hand and
pointed toward the ocean.
He is out there"
"Mr. Graham?"
yes"
Gordon Bennett had been right, and
this was the way Mr.. Graham looked
after his invalid wife. | tried not to
show the indignation | felt as l
thanked her for the roses, and again
suggested she would be better at
home.
"Roses?" she repeated. ooh, yes.
1t was Harry's idea; he is always so
thoughtful. l hope you liked them"

to leave you like this"
The words sprang to my lips and I
regretted them as soon as they were
uttered.

VALUABLE FEEDING HINTS

Cottonseed meal is not only not IN
safe and detrimental to pigs, as great
many farmers believe, but is the most
appeti5ing, nutritious and healthful
of all feeds common to this country
J. w. Allison, Texas.
In the south and southwest sorghum
is used in the silo with excellent re-
suits.
Professor soule says: There is no
reason why dry sorghum fodder should
not be fed to sheep and lambs the
anne as corn fodder"
Do you know that long continued
feeding of nlillet will cause lanleness
and other symptoms of poisoning in
horses9
Most farmers who have tried it are
coming to believe that the increased
value Of food by cooking is not worth
the trouble.
We do not believe that soaking corn
or other food for animals that have
sound teeth and are in good general
condition is beneficial
AS a, rule the best way to feed grain
is just as nature has prepared it.
While bran is a good feed If you
nave to pay as much as $50 a ton it is
ltolerably expensive.

vii or clover louise, pasture it or clip
it back in May, not too much of course;
otherwise cut the hay crop as early as
possible in order to insure good sec
ond growth.
These two insects, however, are usu-
ally reduced materially in numbers by
natural means.
To get rid of the worst of the seed
insects cut the hay crop as early as
possible-at the latest when 1T has just
begun to bloom; or pasture or clip late
in May or early in June.
Fasturing or cutting red clover in the
latter part of Its first year is good prac-

Destroy volunteer clover, which is a
rich nursery for clover insects. Do not
allow red clover to rim for more than
two years where it is for agricultural
purposes a biennial.

TRAINING THE. FARM DOG
This Requires Patience, but the
Results Pay for All
the Trouble.
BY A. J. EVEN.

A good collie will be ready to learn
to drive sheep at about 8 months Of
age. He should be taught wholly by
one person.
First teach him to lead, placing a
string about his neck. He will soon
learn not to try to get away and to
come on hearing the word "Here!" or
whatever word IS chosen, pulling on
the string until he learns to come
promptly.
Lessons of har an hour a day are
enough, and this first lesson should be
learned very thoroughly, so that the
dog will come from any part Of the
yard instantly on hearing the word.
Next he learns the meaning of the
word 60" by using the word when
sending him through an Enclosure, con-
tinually repeating the lesson until he
acts promptly.
AS part of this lesson he should be
taught to stop anywhere on the word

PRACTICAL sHEEP-FEEDlNG RACKS

The arrangement of sheep-feeding
sheds AID yards in cold weather is of
the most Importance of any phase of
the business. If possible sheep should
be fed inside of the sheds at all times.
Feeding racks may be SO placed that
they will form partitions for the vari-
GUS Enclosures, thus doing away with
timber used for that purpose.
A good practical feeding rack may
be made by splitting one long pole or
using two smaller ones, and through
these should be bored holes about four
Inches apart and one inch in diameter.
The rounds should be made about three
to three and one-half feet in length
and may be made either from sawed
lumber or round stuff.
The horizontal poles should be placed
on stakes about one foot from the
ground and form a rack about two or
three feet in Width
A similar rack although presenting
but one side, may be constructed along
the sides of the shed.
When constructed on the side it will
not need to be more than one-half as
wide, as only one-half as many sheepe
can feed from it at the same time
Although we may vary the forms of
the feed racks to meet the conditions
of the buildings, yet one point should
be kept in mind, and that is to build
them SO that the side the sheep feed
from shall be uniformly perpendicular
in order to prevent the seed and dirt
from falling on the lambs and becom-
ing mixed with their wool.
The rounds should be placed sufi-
GENTLY close to each other to prevent
the Introduction Of the lambs. heads
into the racks.
If permitted to do this they will
select only the choicest portions Of the
fodder and waste the residue, and then
there is some danger of them getting
hung and injured.
! Troughs for feeding grain eld roots
may be conveniently made by mailing
| together two narrow boards and plac-
| ing them in an opening sawed in the
| shape of a V in thick board
| This makes a portable trough, sufTi-
Gent for every practical purpose. Great
care must be used to have a length of
+ troughs and racks sufficient to afford
room for the entire flock; otherwise
the poorer and less thrifty will be ex-
Guided by the stronger and more Wig
orous.

i avidity when everything is tidy and
clean, but they are the hardest ami

BUY AN INCUBATOR

Six years ago we purchased a 100
egg incubator and every season it has
been set five to six times and have
never had one failure nor one bad
hatch
The matches are always. in the nine
ties with the exception of once when
we only got seventy-eig chicks Our
matches are about the same each time
each season through
We nearly always have from ninety
two to ninety-six chicks, seldom lower
than ninety three, more often higher
than that, and always such strong.
lively chicks, almost never a cripple
among them-seldom one in 500.
Our incubator has not had the ad-
vantage of being kept in cave or cell
lar, but we have done SO well with it
that we have purchased another Of
100 and one OF 240 egg capacity, as we
are going into the business more ex-
tensively this season.
We can 1ruthfully say that the in
cubator is great time and labor saver
and money maker. 1t is one of the
best investments any farmer or any
one who raises poultry can make.
Who would care to go back to the
slow way of raising chicks with the
sitting hen when it can be done with
the incubator SO easily and so well ?
With the hen the season of Matching is
soon over with, While with the incu-
bator the early fries for market can
be sold when the market prices are
