PROPER START
OF PASTURES
Close Attention Should Be Paid
to Preliminary Cultivation,
as That Means Econo-
my In Seed.
RY ". r. GILRERT.O

Close attention should be paid to
preliminary cultivation, as this means
economy in the seed. In the first place
it is necessary that the soil should be
thoroughly cleaned and that annual
weeds as well as couch grass should
be destroyed. An important consid-
Grafton is the manurial condition Of
the soil.
Although grasses are benefited by
heterogeneous manures, it is seldom de-
sirable to apply such manure either
Just before or Immediately after SOW
ing the seed.
The first effect of such manuring
would be to increase the quantity of
straws produced by the grain crop
with which the seeds have been sown
and thus to repress rather than aid
the young pasture plants.
Grant County herald. [volume] (Lancaster, Wis.) 1850-1968, 1910-02-23

Phosphate manure, such as basic
clay or superphosphate, on the other
hand, should be used literally, and
may perhaps best be applied to the
preceding root crop, though it can be
worked into the land during the win
ter months before sowing the seed.
In dry districts and on light soils
300 to 500 pounds of superphosphate
should be applied, but for most soils
400 to GOO pounds of basic clay may
be recommended.
In purchasing grass seed recon-
mend the obtaining of the best as be
ing the cheapest in the end.

NOW FOR A GREAT FAIR,

Never have the voters of Shawnee
county shown themselves more discern
ing than by piling up the handsome
majority they did for the state fair
bonds. This assures Shawnee county
Topeka and Kansas. Of having an agri-
cultural exposition next year that will
take its place among the large and
successful state fairs of the country.
More than that, the voting of these
bonds undoubtedly means that when
the legislature gets around to selecting
a site for the official state fair of Kan
sas, and appropriating moneys for its
development, Topeka will be so far
ahead Of the other candidates for the
honor of being the home of this fair,
that there will be nothing for the leg
islature to do but locate it here. With
the $4,000 to be derived from these
bonds placed in permanent improve
ments on the fair grounds, together
with the many excellent and valuable
facilities that are already on the
grounds, Topeka will have a fair plant
that will be superior in all ways to any
similar institution in the state. To-
peka will therefore be the logical can
didate for the state fair honors.
The people of Shawnee county made
a ten strike when they used their good
judgment in voting favorably on the
fair bonds

MOVING PICTURES AND coNvICTs
FROM O7EER PENS
ART OF DRESSING.

The way to be artistically gowned is
to discover ones best feature and then
dress up to it This law has been laid
down to the class in artistic costuming
which was recently added to the fine
arts department of the New York
Teachers college, and the instructor,
who formerly designed for a Fifth ave-
nue. dressmaker, applies it to emphasize
the Importance Of developing ones in
dividuality. IF you have attractive
eyes" says the expert, make the most
of them by your style of dress. If your
hair is your sole claim to beauty, the
tone of the dress should. be such as TO
make the hair seem to beautify the en-
tire face. If the pink of your cheeks is
alluring in its delicacy choose some
complementary shade for your dress"
Conversely, unattractive features-a
prominent nose. eyes that squint or
too ample mouth-should be dressed
down." and the expert affirms that
such features may be subdued and bet
ter features given prominence If one
knows the secret of the new art Of
beauty. These secrets are to be i'm
parted, it is understood, before the
winter is over. ANY woman" whether
a member or not, may pose before the
class, which will frankly discuss her
good points and poor ones and plan an
artistic costume of the proper fabric
and the most becoming color, on the
lines best suited to her figure.-Boston

FEMININE DOMINANCE.

1t is possible the southern Ohio rec
tor who recently resigned his charge
has a strong liking for the views of
ST. Paul regarding the church and
woman. In his statement Of grievances
furnished the local press this retiring
clergyman places the feminine in
fuence high on the list He says there
are good men on the vestry board of
the church, but they can only do what
the women deem best, certainly dis
couraging state of affairs for a rector
who is called upon to deal directly
with his church officers
1t may be this handicap that rouses
further rancor in the ministerial
breast. He deprecates the fact that
some members of the congregation
entered the flock in order to raise their
social plane, and he speaks disparag-
ingly of the aristocratic exclusiveness
of his late charge. In short. he talks
like man with carefully nursed
grievance.
Anyway. there Is nothing alarming
in the charge of feminine influence in
church affairs. 1t is something we
have all suspected. Consequently we
must set the disgruntled preacher
down as an individual who unhappily
lacks the diplomatic gift of conform
ing to conditions over which he could
exercise no control.-Cleveland Plain
Dealer.

NEW YORK AND ELSEWHERE.

Many will look upon the unsuccess-
full candidacy of Mr.. Stimson, the Re
publican nominee for governor of New
York, as a vigorous rebuke to Colonel
Roosevelt and his new nationalism."
Certain it is that the colonel was made
the issue of the campaign, together
with his new nationalism.' But the
latter was injected into the campaign,
not by the colonel, but by his political
enemies. The colonel seems to reserve
this new doctrine of his for campaign
ing in the western section of the coun-
try.
1t is also a fact that when former
Governor Fughes was eliminated from
New York politics through his eleva-
ton to the supreme court of the
United States, the Republican party in
New York was left in pretty sore
straits. The corruptness of many Re
publicans in the state legislature had
sickened the people of the Empire
state of the Republican party under
the old machine management, which
Immediately assumed the reins until
the colonel took hold of them, and if

deed, there was no hope for the Re
publicans to win in New York without
the aid of Colonel Roosevelt, and it
appears now that they did not win be-
cause of his aid and the yituperative
campaign that was carried on against
him.
Any one who has an idea, however,
that this defeat in New York will keep
the colonel out of politics is probably
badly mistaken. During the campaign
he frequently made the statement that

GOVERNOR srUBBs VICTORY.

Although the Democratic leaders
are not yet disposed to admit the de-
feat of their gubernatorial candidate,
Senator George H. Hodges, it appears
at this writing, even though the re-
turns as yet are far from being com
plete, that Governor Stubs has been
successful in his campaign for re-
election, but with a majority that is
meager as compared with the one of
"a, 600 he received two years ago.
Even with this it is still big
personal victory for the governor, and
attests in no uncertain terms the firm
hold he has on the goodwill of ma
jority of the voters of Kansas, and es-
pecially among those in the rural sec
lions of the state where the governor
polled his heaviest vote. 1t turned out
to be a year of Democrat landslides,
but Mr.. Stubs was able to win.
In Senator Hodges, Governor Stubs
had opposed to him the strongest
Democrat in Kansas, a man who dur
ing his legislative career has earned
the respect and the admiration of the
whole people of the state for the cour-
ageous stands he has ever taken on
all matters of Importance to the state.
He has always worked for the best in
terests of Kansas, regardless of any
political considerations that might be
involved. He ran for governor on a
platform that was quite as progressive
as was the one on which the Republt-
can candidates stood.
And in defeating such a man in a
year when the Democratic star was in
the ascendancy all over the country,
even with a majority that is small as
compared with the normal Republican
majorities in Kansas, Governor Stubs
has demonstrated again that his per-
sonal popularity in this state is Of
large proportions. Governor Stubs
was deserving of reelection, too.
Generally speaking, he has made an
excellent governor. All men may not
agree with him with the stand he has
taken on several features of railroad
regulations, but that is only one of the
questions that is before the people of
Kansas and the country to solve. Gov
ernor Stubs administration of the af-
fairs of state has been vigorous and
clean. he has proven himself
worthy foe against the violators of all
the laws of the state. Many of the
plans he has for improving conditions
in the state through new legislation.
as is suggested in various planks of
the Republican platform. may be
trifle radical in the minds of some
people, but it is no more than fair to
state that Governor Stubs believes
that their adoption will be for the
benefit of the people. At any rate the
people seem satisfied that they will
get a square deal from Mr.. Stubs,
and that accounts for his great per-
sonal victory.

If the reorganized Republican party
did not win in New York this time it
would next. That is an indication that
he will continue to carry on the fight.
At the same time, the defeat of the
ticket he made and so strongly cham
ploned in New York can not help but
lessen his prestige as a political leader,
Tor time at least. And that prestige
hasalso been hurt by the results in
other states. 1t appears that wherever
the colonel actively participated in
campaign the victory went to the other
side. In Indiana and in Massachusetts,
where Colonel Roosevelt was particu-
larly active for the Republican cause,
in the former state it being of the "in-
surgent" variety and in the latter of
the "standpat' brand, Democrats were
elected as governors. The Republicans
appear to have won a bare majority of
the legislature in Indiana, which
means the return of Senator Beverage,
and the Massachusetts legislature re-
mains Republican, which means the
return Of Senator Lodge. Colonel
Roosevelt was also especially active
against the cause of Democracy in
Connecticut. but its candidate. Judge
Baldwin, who has threatened to sue
the colonel for libel on account of
some of the campaign charges he
made, won out without much trouble.
There were other states. though,
such as New Jersey, Iowa and Ohio,
where Colonel Roosevelt did not take
an active part in the campaigns, which
also went Democratic, so perhaps the
defeat of the Republicans in the states
where the colonel mixed in the cam
paign is not so significant as indicating
a waning of his political power and
leadership. Indeed, there seems to
have been pretty much of a Demo-
cratic landslide the country over. And
it can not help but have a stimulating
effect, especially on the Republican
party.
