Facts About Winter Cover Crops.
81. A winter cover crop largely pre-
vents loss of soil fertility by wash
ing (erosion); some lands suffer great
er loss than others by washing, but
all lands are more or less injured by
it.
20. Soils without cover lose con-
siderable fertility by evaporation dur
ing the fall and winter. A winter
cover crop reduces this loss to a negli-
gible quantity.
"3. Such crops, to some extent,
prevent the seeding of the land to foul
weeds.
"a. They increase the porosity of
the soil, and add the humus so essen
tial to fertility.
SO. They make a valuable crop
while the lands would otherwise be
idle, which is a net gain to the land.
We must increase the vegetable mat
ter in the soil to an amount sufficient
to enable the soil to retain a much
larger proportion of the rainfall than
at present and to greatly increase the
mechanical conditions of the soil.
&c. A very great consideration in
the winter cover crop is the large
amount of grazing that can be Sc
cured from it at time when it is es-
pecially valuable for young stock, and
its value is not limited altogether to
the mere supply of food. 1t adds to
the health and vigor of the stock. On
an average from two to two and a
half months grazing can be secured
at nominal cost of little labor in
preparing and seeding the land.

CLARK Sees DEMOCRATIC VICTORY;
TAWN.i DEFENDS G. 0. P. CONTROL
BY Champ Clark.

by Cndmp CLARK.
While there is nothing certain in
this world except death and taxes,
and while there may be slip betwixt
cup and lip, the signs of the times
indicate a Democratic house. The Re-
publicans have had such an amazing
run of luck that some folks have set
tied conviction that they are invind-
ble-a conclusion which, in the light
of history, is preposteious.
men who keep the faith who say
what they mean, and mean what they
say. A failure on the part of stand
pat leaders to keep the faith is pre-
cisely what the row is about They
promised to revise the Dingley tariff
down. That was when they wanted
to get in. Being in, they proceeded to
revise 1t up, with the result that mill
ions of honest Republicans are IN open
revolt against the machine, and pro-
pose to punish the leaders who de-
ceived and betraycI them.
Take two bits of evidence on this
head, which are merely samples of
volumes that could be produced. In
my last debate with Mr. Chairman
Payne on the tariff, last May, he in
sisted vehemently but enormously
that his bill is revision down, and
that therefore he and his coadjutors
had kept the faith" AS a keeper of
the faith Brother Payne is not in St.
Paul's class. But query-if the stand
patters did not promise to revise the
tariff down, why does Mr.. Chairman
Payne keep on declaring that they
have revised 1t down, and that there
fore they deserve well of the country ?
The Economist jumped on him for
saying that, and asserted that he
makes a mistake, as does the presi-
dent, in trying to defend the bill by
claiming that it is a revision down
ward.
The ultimate consumer" knows
that he was promised lowering OF
the tariff, and knows that he did not
get it. Consequently, he is in a bad
humor. Last year the New England
scholar in politics." Senator Henry
Cabot Lodge, in fine scorn of both the
fasts and the people, declared the "ul-
innate consumer" to be a myth
Nevertheless, six months later, the
ultimate consumer" in the Old Bay
State pulled the Republican majority
from sixty thousand down to five
thousand. Less than twelve months
later the ultimate consumer" in
Massachusetts congressional distrist
converted a Republican majority OF
fourteen. thousand into Democratic
majority of six thousand, and sent
Eugene N. Foss triumphantly to con
gress, thereby making him vice
presidential possibility. Since these
events, mirabile dictu-I put in this
Latin because l am writing about

pealed to Colonel Roosevelt to take

BY James A. Tawney.

There are three leading reasons why
4the Republican party should retain
control of the house of representatives
and the federal government.
First, the legislative record of the
party-the full record of it's half CEN
tury of existence, the record of the
past seven congresses since it resum-
ed power on March A, 1897, and the
record of the extra and first regular
session of the present congress-all
this is conclusive proof of it's wisdom,
its constructive ability, and its I'M
selfish devotion to the best interests
of the people and their government.
The second reason is because, in
response to demand of the people,
the Republican party pledged re-
vision of the tariff, and kept it's pledge,
observing not only the letter but also
the spirit of the declaration. While
we did not expressly promise revision
downward, yet it was so understood
by the people, and what the people
expected they gained in full measure
at the special session of congress
called by Present Taft
The third reason is because the peo-
pie should endorse the administration
of President Taft by giving him a sub
stantial Republican majority in the
next house, to work with the Republi-
can senate in making complete the
fulfillment of Republican pledges, and
in carrying out to the full the recon-
mendations of the president.
There may be some congressman
who are reluctant to admit that all
this tremendous amount of good leg
islation was accomplished with the &C.
tive aid of the, president. I am not
one of those. give to President Taft
full credit for the part he played.
There is glory enough to be divided
in good measure between the execu-
tive and congress. Never before in
our history has there existed such
complete harmony between the presi-
dent and both houses of congress as
has been since the 4th of March, 1909.
This, say, is strong reason why the
h011Ca hn n
order that our splendid team work
may not be interrupted, but may go
on to the benefit of the nation and
the welfare of the people.
With Democratic house we should
have in the speakers chair Mr.. Champ
Clark, who once announced on the
floor of the house that If he could, he
would tear down the custom house
of every American port AS chair
man of the ways and means commit
tee, we should have Mr.. Underwood,
of Alabama, who declares himself
unequivocally for a revenue tariff. We
should then have tariff bill sent to
the senate, which, though it would be
buried there, would nevertheless throw
alarm into every bank, every factory,
every farm, and every counting house,
and would paralyze every source of
production, transportation and con-
sumption in the Countrywide Mum
sey.

BLOOD TROUBLE.
CONSTITUTIONAL INFECTl0E

Constitutional Blood Poison is the
most insidious of all diseases. 1t
begins in an insignificant manner,
usually the appearance of tiny sore
being the only outward evidence of its
presence. But down in the blood the
treacherous infection is at work, and
in short time its chain OF symptoms
begin to crop out. The mouth and
throat u1cerate, skin eruptions break
out, sores and ulcers appear on the
body, the glands in the groin swell,
and sometimes the hair comes out.
Mineral medicines cannot cure Con-
stitutional Blood Poison; they only

shoulder and await an opportunity of
