Feeding Whole Grain.

Bulletin No. 242 of the Michigan Ex-
data upon the subject of feeding whole
grain to cows, heifers and calves.
When whole grain was fed to cows, %
per cent was unmasticated; when fed
to heifers, 10 per cent; when fed to
calves, per cent. Chemical analysis
showed no change in composition Of
the unmasticated parts, so 1t is a safe
assumption that the animal derives
no benefit from grain that passes
through the digestive tract unaltered.

Early blight is potato, disease
which causes more or less damage TO
the crop every year The trouble Is
most marked in unusually dry sea-
sons and is caused by fungus which
grows and spreads rapidly. The spores
of this fungus when seen through a
microscope have the appearance OF
clubs. They enter the vines and the
first thing one notices is that the
leaves are turning yellow. The disease
is likely to come during the first or
second week in July. 1t may be easily
prevented by spraying with Bordeaux
mixture before the disease gets a hold
on the crop. After it has start II Is
of no use to spray because the spores
are already inside the vines.
In order to kill the potato beetle at
at the same time one-fourth or
pound of Paris green may be added to

Reveals Masters Cnustic Humor.
In biography of Edward MacDow-
ell by Lawrence Gilman, the writer
quotes some Of the famous musicians
witticisms. On one occasion he had
been told of performance of his
composition, "To a Wild Rose" played
by high-school girl on a highschool
piano at a high-school graduation fes-
tivtty. We'll" Mcdowell remarked,
81 suppose she pulled it up by the
roots."
Some one sent him, about this time,
relates Mr.. Humiston, a program Of
an organ recital at which this same
wild Rose" was to be played.
"He was not pleased with the idea,
thinking doubtless Of a style of per-
formance which plays Schumann's
-Traumerei' on the great organ dia-
pasons. He remarked simply that 1t

SAM soTHERN NOT SAM AT ALL
His AIliterative Name Sample of
His Fathers Joculnrity.


Probably there is not one in twenty
Of the fellow members of his profes-
sion, either here or in England, who
knows that the name of Sam Sothern.
the actor, is not Sam at all, the New
York World says.
Mr.. Sothern came back to New
York on Friday in response to hurry
call to act with Sir Charles Wynd-
ham in The Mollusc.' He has been
absent from this country more than
fifteen years, although he made his
first theatrical appearance in this
country with the late John T. Ray
mond a friend of his father e. A.
Sothern, in THE Private Secretary
During the early days of the starring
career of his brother, E. H. Sothern,
Sam, who is not Sam, acted in his
support at the old Lyceum.
If Sam Sothern had registered in
New York as George Evelyn Augustus
T. Sothern possibly his own brother
might not have recognized him.
George Evelyn Augustus T. was
named to please his mother His
father, who was a comedian off the
stage as we'll as on 1t. didn't like the
long handle. He wanted name that
was short and expressive. He was
appearing in Brother Sam" in Lon
don at the time, and, for convenience,
tackled the name Of the play on the
newly born infant. Brother Sam has
kept it ever since.
Another thing that Sam Sothern
received from his father-this by in
heritance-was the tattered yellow
manuscript of Our American Cousin"
It didn't seem like a large inheritance
at the time, for the elder Sothern had
played the piece to standstill both
in this country and in England. So
Sam cast the prompt book into a
trunk, where it slumbered twenty
years until e. H. Sothern, two years
ago, decided to revive the play under
the name Of Lord Dundreary."
All these years a small fortune had
been lurking in the crumpled bunch
of papers. AS it was Sans property
E. H. Sothern had to pay fat royal
ty. on it, and as Lord Dundreary
has been one of E. II. Sothern's big
gest successes in recent years a steady
stream of American dollars has flow
ed into Sans English pockets.

The worst enemies of the bee are
the foul brood and black brood. One
or the other of these diseases are In
some parts of the State, and black
brood have been very bad in New
York State. These diseases of bees
have been carefully studied by the de-
partment in Washington, and we have
some pretty definite information on the
matter. The treatment for both Is
that of removing all the combs and
starting the bees fresh without any
contaminated honey in new hive, and
the use of the old combs for wax.

the barrel of Bordeaux mixture. The
spraying can be done quite cheaply.
The cost of four sprayings IS estimated
at $1S5 per acre. This includes the
cost of labor also. In Vermont trial
was conducted by one hundred farm
ers to test the value of this spray. The
period covered five years, and the re-
suit was the increase of 20 per cent
in yield. The high value of Bordeaux
mixture as a preventive Of early blight
has been proved many times, and
should not be overlooked by anyone
who expects to raise a good crop OF
potatoes.

M'CAR1Y AND BLACKMON DISCUSS AMENDMENT

ture which has adopted drastic measures as to take away the right of trial by jury in many cases cannot be trusted, and that 1t will adopt measures even more drastic. He criticised the act creating jury com, missions, which he said he opposed.
 MT. Blackmon declared that the speak CTS for the amendment are attempting to deceive the people, an dto show what he considered some of the drastic features of the Fuller law he read a part of Sec ton 29h, which provides that no person testifying in liquor cases shall be prose cuted for his testimony, which may not be used against him. He also cited Sec ton 321a, which Judge Wealkley says waS to meet the so-called '-near-beer'' emer- gencies declaring that under this pro- vision any person caught drinking coca cola or any other beverage resembling liquor may be liable to prosecution for violation of the prohibition laws.
 Scores Conner.
 Attacking Governor Conner, the speaker referred to his work in the interest of ed ucation and the old soldiers, scoring the administration for using the funds set apart for these cases in the promotion of 'my policies Referring to the governor 8 recent utterances. as reported, that 1t would be legal for one to give a house party and get all of his guests drunk as herd of billy goats." he construed this to be advice by the governor, and said that had he been in the governors place he would have advised temperance. He said his idea of the new liquor laws was that they were to prevent inebriates from whipping their wives. He also attacked the governors statements In regard to pardoning persons convicted of making home wine.
 Leaving Governor Conner, Senator Blackmon took hit at his law partner, who had spoken the evening before at the First Baptist church, and said that had any one objected to any of MT. Acxer's assertions, he would promptly have been arrested for disturbing public worship.
 Concluding his address. MT. Blackmon paid his respects to Judge Weakley He says that 1t Is the intention of the judge to use the second section of the amend ment as an issue in his race for governor. and that he will make an attempt to pro hibit the keeping of liquor in homes if it proves to be popular issue.
 While the meeting was not an enthusi- astic one, both speakers were occasion ally cheered, there being few outbursts of laughter at the expense of the amend ists.

the substitute backfleld and ending with those of the fourth eleven. The visitors were able to negotiate only a single first down during the game and did not get within 40 yards of Yale's goal. Be- cause of the midsummer heat 1t was necessary to limit the playing time to 20- minute halves. Yale piled up 46 points. within two of as many as the Elfs have made in their three previous games this year. Hobbs who was the only player to stick through the game for Yale, was the. star o. the game. His interfering made two of Yale's touchdowns directly possible and he kicked all six goals. Yale played straight football, using only one side e-kick and two forward passes.

E Anniston, October 9.-(Special. .)-With
 John Lapler presiding and about 200 per
 sons present, many of whom were stand
 ing and in the doorway, Henry D. Me-
 Carty referee in bankruptcy, and Fred
 L. Blackmon, state senator, addressed an
 assemblage of citizens in West Anniston
 at the Firemen's hall Friday evening against the proposed prohibition amend
 ment to the constitution of the state.
 Mir McCarty spoke first, and he at-
 tackled the proposed amendment on the
 ground that in his opinion, it had origi-
 mated from a bad source, being conceived
 in the brain of Brooks Lawrence and
 drafted for the purpose of furthering the political ambitions of Braxton Bragg Conner.
 Getting to the amendment, Judge Mo Carty charged that the adoption of the proposed amendment would be to relin- quish the liberties guaranteed us in the magma charta and wrested by our fore fathers from King George at Runnymede He said that the first section of this docu- ment could have been tolerated, it now be- ing in the constitutions of four other states. but he declared the second sec tion to be an unprecedented imposition. He averred that this second section pro- hibits the power of the supreme court to construe the laws as that body deems right and judicial, attributing this to the foresight of Brooks Lawrence and claim ing that it was due to recent rulings made |Iby that court. Then, he declared that 1 Sthe keeping of whisky in offices or any | |place other than one's own home is posi- lively prohibited, and attacked the charge of Judge Lee of Gadsden that the manu- facture of wine for home consumption Is within the pale of the law. His address was concluded by a pretty war story, which he related in connection with the sanctity of the home, and in the relation of this story Judge McCarty, who is an eloquent speaker, held the rapt attention of his audience.
 MT. Backmon's Address.
 Mir Blackmon began his address with inc assertion that the present campaign i is not to decide the issue of whisky or no whisky, and he held up Judge Thom- as w. Coleman of the Anniston city court as an example of temperance men who are opposing the amendment. Personally he said that he has voted for all prohibition laws that have been introduced in the leg islature during his incumbenoy, except the Fuller law and the amendment. He then stated that he was ashamed to acknowl- hedge that he was a member of the last legislature, and he said that this legisla-

RALPH DE PALMA
 SERIOUSLY HURT

Danbury, Conn.,, October 9.-(Special.)- Ralph De Palma, the celebrated track automobile driver, was so badly hurt in an accident Just at the finish of race at the Danbury fair this afternoon that he may become permanent cripple. His car was on the last lap of f1ve-mile handicap and was taking the lower turn at terrific speed~when the rear tire of the machine exploded. The car slkidded and then rolled over and De Palma was thrown out of the machine and struck the fence with terrible force, breaking through 1t.

De Palma was hurried to the Dan- bury hospital, where it was found that he had an extremely bad fracture of the left hip.
 The car which De Palma was driving was his famous Fiat Cyclone" probably the fastest car in the world. and the same car which killed Cedrino, the fla nous driver, at Plmllco park in Balti- more, in June, 1905.
