When Monsignor Francisco SAroLLI,
Archbishop Of Lepanto in pdrtibus. came
to the United States twenty years ago
as the first Papal Delegate to this coun-
try. that recognition by the Vatican Of
the Importance OF the Church in Amer
leu within the Catholic fold awakened
again the old feeling against Rome, and
excited among many good people fears
regarding Catholic aggression and the
creation OF diplomatic relations between
the Papacy and the Government at Wash
ington. When he left those fears were
wholly allayed, and his deserved elevation
to the College Of Cardinals was gratifying
to Americans generally.
II required great tact to avoid arousinR
Protestant susceptibilities while attending
TO his proper duties; il called for greater
tact and for strong administrative quail :
ties TO put order in the differences and the
irregularities that had arisen within the
Catholic Church. All Acknowledged these
qualities in Cardinal SAToELI when he
Withdrew, even those whom he had been
compelled TO discipline. At Rome he was
able to enljghten Pope LEO XIII. and Pope
PIUs X. on American matters and to pre-
vent laundering on the part Of Vatican
officials. His executive ability gave him
a high place in the councils Of the Church.
The smoothness with which Church
matters in the United States have pro-
ceeded since his mission. and the absence
OF friction with Rome, testify 10 the quality
of his work.

Hardwick's Sacrifice.

The Hon. THOMAS WILLIAM HARD
WICK of Georgia is now enjoying an
opportunity of self-Communion which
he may or may not improve, nor does il
greatly matter, but the country at large
has been profitably enlightened. Mr..
HARDwICK offered a resolution to in
quire into the employment of Govern
ment vessels" in search of j. J. AsTOR's
yacht, the Nourmahal, supposed at the
time to have been lost somewhere in
the Caribbean Sea, The Hon. JAMES
r. MANN. referring to this resolution,
remarked that if Mr.. AsToR had not
been a very rich person no inquiry
said other things in his impatient heat,
things which the sedate EDBNEzBR HILL
of Connecticut afterwaId smoothed
away. Why this tumultuous teapot we
have not been able to perceive.
The revenue cutter service exists for
the purpose Of detecting smugglers and
poachers and locating derelicts. In
that service there is at least one ship
especially equipped for the last men
toned use. 1t is swift, strong, armed
with dynamite, &c., and devoted to the
destruction, the nbliteratiOn, of aban-
doned hulks endangering the pathways
OF commerce. The whole feet, how
ever, may be used for similar ends, and
in fact the discovery and elimination OF
derelicts is among the first duties of the
revenue cutter feet.
or course Mr.. HARDwICK merely
wished to call attention to himself and
lead his benighted constituents into the
realm of cut price ecstasy. He may or
may not know anything at all-prob-
ably not-but he ought to have been
aware of the facts in this particular
case. He has been in Congress at least
six years, and he ought to know some
thing or other, If only through uncon-
scious contact. Even information is at
times contagious.
But the episode has passed The
chances all are that HARDwICK doesn't
recognize himself as its solitary victim.

The Commander In Chief OF Conser
walton.


II seems necessary to remind some of
the friends of conservation that the
person officially in charge OF that policy
and responsible for its promotion is
neither Mr.. ROOSEVELT nor Mr.. GIF-
FORD PINCHoT, but the Hon. WILLIAM
II. TAFT.
The Republican platform of 1908 said:
We Indorse the movement Inaugurated by the
Administration for the conservation of natural
resources; We approve all measures to prevent
the waste OF timber we commend the work now
going on for the reclamation Of arid lands and
resfhrm the Republican policy OF the free dlstrl-
button of the available acres OF the public domain
future is more insistent. and none will result Ia
greater blessings to posterity."
II will be observed that this mandate
was not addressed to Mr.. ROOSEVELT
who was then about TO depart to look
after the conservation Of the animal
resources OF another continent. II was
not addressed to Mr.. CLIFFORD PINCHoT,
who was then subordinate official and
is now a private citizen.
The executive person charged with
the direction of the policies indorsed
and defined by the Republican plat
form of 1908 was the President elected
on that platform, and he is President
TAFT.
The friends of conservation every
where ought to know by this time how
Loyalty devoted he is to the performance
of the duty entrusted to him by the vote
of November 3, 1908.

SOW FODDER CORN.

G. B. Bull, Minnesota Experiment Station.
The hay crop in Minnesota is prob
ably less than so per cent. of a
normal crop. In places it is a total
failure. This means shortage of
forage, and in consequence, the
selling Of much live stock. This
will reduce the young breeding
stock on the farm to deplorable
extent. Only those animals orig
inally intended for the block should
be disposed of, if it is possible in
any way to obtain feed to carry the
stock to the middle of August when
fodder corn can be available.
Fodder corn is valuable forage.
It permits Of early or late planting
and is harvested before the general
corn crop is mature. Large yields
of dry forage or Of silage are OBJ
tanned, which for cattle, sheep.
young stock or even horses is an
excellent feed. For mich cows it
is second only to alfalfa and clover.
Much could be stated about tqis
valuable crop, but the purpose Of
this circular is merely to advise the
farmers to SOW corn thickly for
fodder; thus tiding over the hay
shortage period and save the live
stock.
PREPARING THE GROUND.
Any piece Of productive land will
grow fodder corn. The meadow,
the pasture. or even grain field
can well be spared if necessary.
Plow the land about FIVE inches deep
and harrow a. fast as plowed. Work

condition with disc, q subsurface
