HARVESTING CLOVER
AND TIMOTHY HAY.
Continued From Page One)

We make a practice Of cutting in
the forenoon may be tedded and
raked and cooked in the afternoon and
allow it to remain in the cocks and
cure for two days and open up the
third day about nine or ten o'clock
in the morning and begin hauling to
the NOV in the afternoon. When the
clover is handled in this n 1t
will be cured and the loss Of leaves
will be reduced to a minimum. Glover
that is handled in this matter will re-
ain its delightful aroma. OF course
weather conditions will often upset
cur most carefully laid plans and we
will be compelled to cut away from all
hard and fast rules and do the best
thing possible under the circum-
stances.
The hay tedder is a necessity if we
get our hay into the barn in the best
condition, and one days good sun n
two teddings will do more toward
curing a crop of clover than two days
exposure to the sun and weather, be-
sides when the clover is cooked up n
left there is but little danger from
rainy weather unless it continues for
several days, and even then the loss
will be much less than it would be if
the clover was left as when first cut
in the rows as it was raked uI.
In handling timothy, or mixed hay
we cut in the forenoon, tedding and
raking in tn eafternOOn and cooking
up along forenoon of the following
day and hauling to the barn the same
day. unless the crop isunusually heavy
or weather u~nfavorable for it's curing.
the same day it is cut.
In haying we are compelled to go
more by the weather conditions and
the umbe Of available hands than
by any rules that may be laid down by
writer's for the agricultural press.
One very excellent rule to olloW
is never slash down more hay tnan
can be put into the NOV in a short
time with what help is bic, for
if there is anything hat will make a
man disheartened it is to have ten
or twenty acres Of heavy hay to nan
die over two or three times before it
can be hauled to the NOV.
A prominent statesman once said
that if ne only had five minute in
which to shave he would spend four
minutes in sharpening his razor. It
is the same with handling the hay
crop, every tool must be sharp and
ready for the work and every man
should have bis place SO that when
the work begins there will be no
breaking and no Interruptions.

Mr.. Adams comes up with the same
old idea that everything else than
the money crop on the farm is simply
supplies" While a farmer should
certainly have one special money
crop, 1t does not follow that it, whether
1t is tobacco or cotton, should be the
only crop to bring him money. Of
course, he should grow supplies for
the home. but if he farms right. he

But our Southern tobacco and cot
ton seem to think thew are
doing we'll to grow supplies for the
home demand only. Certainly crow
supplies for the home, and some for
other people, too. The sole dependence
on on crop for all h cash Of the
farm will never lead to financial in
dependence.

And the growing Of the crop will

RESPONSIBILITY.

Now that the "old guard" is facing de-
feat, il is muttering about letting Colonel
Roosevelt ''bear the responsibility for the
coming disaster" That responsibility
would not be absolutely crushing. When
a patient is gravely i'll and a lot of
bungling physicians have made him worse
by their malpractice, and at the last mo-
ment the family. perceiving what is the
matter. diSmiSses them and calls IN
great expert. vet. nevertheless, the pa
tient dies. the great expert is not ruined
by the responsibility for the disaster.
And in this case the responsibility will
be even less than in the case of the able
doctor put in charge of a mismanaged
case at the last moment. At least, the
bunCling malpractitiOnerS ere banished
wholly from the sickrOOm Their medi-
cines are thrown out of the window and
they themselves are barred from the
premises. They can do nothing TO mar
the work of the new physician who has
taken their place.
How different in the case of these
men who propose TO put the responsible
ity for the ''diSaSter'-tO which they
look forward with great confidence-upon
Colonel Roosevelt, They cannot be kept
away from the patient. In nearly half
the state. as the primaries have just
shown. they will have control of the
local Republican organization. The eff
fectivenesS Of the campaign there will
depend upon them. They have confessed
that they are not interested in Repub-
lican candidates or in anything but the
defeat of the principle for which the Re
publican party will stand. They care for
nothing, as their vOciferouS leader has
EXPLAINED. so much as for the places ION

grip upon party machinery. They are
In a position to speak with a confidence
of coming disaster which the dismissed

they have brought the party by their
mismanagement, by their defiance Of
public sentiment and by the open oppo-
sition to a Governor who was put into

attitude in the campaign
Is the "old guard so blind as TO think
that if the Republicans are defeated the
state will say that if the wise rule Of
Barnes and Woodruff had been undis-
turbed the defeat would not have oc-
Cured? There is one thing about which
there is an almost unanimous opinion
among unprejudieed observers, and that
is that if the control of the party were
TO remain unchanged the disaster that
would result would be unparalleled.

THE TRIUMPH OF CANADIAN IN
PERTALISn.

PERIALISM.
Imperialism has triumphed over Cob
denism in Canada. That is the conspic-
uous net result of Sir Wilfrid Laurier's
tour of the Dominion. It is d triumph
not so much of one party over another as
Of moderation over extremes and of
reason over passion and prejudice. We
recently commented on his remarks on
free trade in the Far West. But he is
not going to re-establish free trade, or to
attempt TO do so On the contrary. he
has adopted policy which displeases
Cobdenites at least as much as it does
certain extreme protectiOnists-the Can
adam "stand-patters'-but which pleases
reasonable men of both parties. He
will maintain the protective tariff sys-
TEN, with preference for England and
the empire. but he will appoint a COM
petent commission TO investigate the
needs of revision. SO the Cobdenites
weep and a few AIacdoualdites rage. but
the great mass of Canadians applaud.
In our time there has been no free
trade in Canada. The Mackenzie gov
eminent. 1S73-'7S, had tariff for reve-
nue.. with incidental protection. of which
it was said that the incidental was the
principal part. When Macdonald re
turned to power he established, in 1879,
a protective tariff pure and simple, and
the proposal TO give preferential rates
to Great Britain was scOrnfully voted
down. The followers of Macdonald were
in later years conspicuously imperialist,
but in those days they openly said that
if the connection with Great Britain in
terfered with high protection, so much
the worse for that connection. Seces-
sion from the empire was preferable to
abandonment of protection. There are
few such extremists left, but such as
there are now join the Cobdenites at
the other extreme in disappearing the
present tariff with its preferential rates.
We must remember that although the
Liberals Of Canada were formerly, at
least in name, free traders. it was the
present Liberal Finance Minister, Mr..
Fielding, who took the lead in main
tanning protection with preference. Four
teen years ago he introduced the prefer
entail principle with the prediction that
all the empire would follow the Can
adian example. and when Mr. Chamber
lain began his epOchal campaign for
tariff reform Mr.. Fielding was prompt
and eager 10 support him and TO prom
Use him the support of Canada. We must
suppose that Mr.. Fielding, as well, also,
as Sir Wilfrid Laurier. in turn became
imbued with Mr.. Chamberlain's imperial
ism. for that has become the dominant
feature of the present governments
policy The British connection above all
else Sir Wilfrid proclaims, with no leg
islation against Great Britain and no
denial of the right of any subject Of
the British Empire. no matter what his
color or race, freely TO enter the Domin-

IN REPLY TO MISS SEAWELL
Mrs. Harper Takes Exception TO Com
ments on Suffrage Movement.
Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Will you permit a few words IN
answer to the interview with Miss Molly
Elliot seawell, published in The Tribune
Of September 20?
So many concessions are therein made
to the virtues OF the suffragtstS that one
would hardly recognize the speaker as the
writer Of the extremely hostile article IN
the September Atlantic Monthly" They
will be inclined TO smile at Miss SeawelTs
statement that at a suffrage meeting
which she attended "the women talked and
acted like natural persons" They cannot
see why a belief in the right to represent
herself in the government should trans
form woman into an unnatural being.
They will also resent somewhat Miss
SeaweIrs surprise that the comments Of
the sufrag ists on her Atlantic Monthly
article have all been characterized by the
utmost courtesy" They are not aware
that the desire to have voice in matters
OF public interest necessarily destroys the
ordinary requirements Of good breeding.
The advocates of woman suffrage have had
to be patient and tolerant under much
worse attacks than those Of Miss SeawelL
The suffragists do not agree with the
charge that the man who sits while
creature in trousers" Their sense of JUS
tice and fair play is so strong that they
are willing to concede that right 10 men
If they choose TO exercise IT
Miss Seawells insistence that Ell a
woman could vote she would lose her
property privileges, her dover and her
right 10 maintenance from her husband
is strikingly original OF all the unbound
ed objections it certainly takes the lead.
The women in the states where they have
the complete suffrage have not sacrificed
the slightest Of property rights, but
rather have gained in this respect; and the
idea that husband would cease to main
tain his wife If she had q vote IS the most
amusing assertion that has yet been made
by the opponents. Besides. there are some
women who have no husbands TO maintain
them, and who believe that II they had
power over laws and conditions they
would not be receiving only half as much
pay as a man who does exactly the same
work. IDA Hustled HARPER
