tar1H, and following that is the LIN,
cola day speech Of President Taft.
More than 100000 post cards, con-
tanning speeches boiled down." are
being sent out.
Democratic resources embrace a
dozen important speeches made in
both houses of congress, bearing upon
tho tariff and other live political is
sues.
To send out this enormous amount
of literature from the two headquar-
tiers would require much more money
than the congressional committees can
put their hands on, were 1t not for the
benefcent provisions of the govern
ment ranking laws. The reason why
most OF the campaign thunder" Is
made in congress will be better un-
derstood when 1t Is known that such
thunder goes postage free to any part
of the nation.
The speeches and extracts Of
speeches now being sent from both
the Democratic and Republican Offices
are mailed under the franks of mem
bers OF congress, and within the full
authority of the law. The magic
words: Part Of Congressional Record
Free will carry words of political
wisdom into the hands Of almost every
yroter in the country before the cam
paign is ended
The men who are openly at tbs head
Of the two big committees are not of
more importance in the schema Of tho
congressional campaign than are the
political sages in the background. In
the Republican headquarters the work
will be conducted from New York by
Congressman Henry C. Loudenslager,
OF New Jersey, secretary of the COM
paittee through many campaigns. From
Chicago, Congressman William B. Nc
Kinley from Illinois will run western
affairs and direct the operation of the
speakers bureau. The latter will be
run entirely from the Chicago offices,
while the literary bureau will operate
from New York and Washington.
In the background is the STAFF of
consulting experts" consisting of
such men as Cannon, Tawney. Fassett
and others long identified with ma
tional campaigns.
The situation Is much the same on
the Democratic side Congressman
James T. Lloyd of Missouri, chairman
OF the committee, will have charge of
the Chicago quarters throughout the
campaign. In the background, how.
ever, is the complete congressional or
ganization Of former years, and the
counsel Of Congressman Champ Clark,
Ollie James, Swager Sherley, Oscar w.
Underwood, Gilbert M. Hitchcock and
other successful party leaders.

GS5NOTESA

A fat lamb will bring double the
price Of thin one.
Sheep are the greatest fertilizers Of
all the farm stock.
A good sloping shoulder is an i'm
portant item in riding horse.
In no case should the sows be al
lowed to run at large when fall lit
tiers are expected.
A hog seems to get more enjoyment
gnawing an ear of corn than he does
eating it any other way.
Pick out the best buck lamb in the
flock to keep, or else buy one of some
successful breeder of sheep.
Hogs and calves are too often neg
lected in the matter of dry pens
through the summer months.
In horse. action should be light,
free, easy and straight. Reject a
horse that crosses his legs in walking
or trotting.
A given amount of food fed to a
50-pound pig will make almost double
the amount OF pork it would if fed
to a 350-pound hog.
When COWS are given less food than
they require for maintenance and
milk production the milk production
must suffer or the COW.
An excess of fat Is not desirable
even in a hog. 1t is possible to large
ly regulate the quality Of the meat
: by the kind of food given.
The droppings from the lambs are
rich in fertilizing value, and it has
been found that spring wheat does
better after lambs have run in the
corn.
The average goat-breeder raises
them to sell, and while he may tell
you all about their good points. he
may forget to mention some of their
weak ones.
At present prices of mill products
tankage is about the cheapest sup
plement Of corn there is. If fed in
connection with corn to fattenting
hogs use one part tankage to nine Of
corn.

California. But with the opening of
western and eastern headquarters by
the congressional committees, the
struggle takes ON an intensified form
and in every district from coast to
coast there Is stand up fight, which
continues until the polls are closed In
November.
The congressional committee is
without doubt one Of the most power.
ful organizations in the American po
litical system. 1t Is distinctly the ere
alton Of congress itself. The members
from each state select one Of their
number as member of the commit

Its officers and an executive commit
tee. The campaign is run by the Off
GERS Of the committee. and 1t becomes
campaign along the lines desired
by the party as 1t Is represented In
congress. To that extent the commit

organization of congress.
1t is true that it cannot always die

tricts, and that 1t often fails to bring

peculiarities of his home fight. It Is

throughout the United States; and its

the active support 1t gives the candi.
date and the newspapers Of It's party

congressional results everywhere.
The candidate may kiss the babies,
pass the time of day with the feminine
members of the family, and argue po-
litical tenets with the voter himself;
but it is the congressional committee
that lays down the general scheme of

HARDY RATIONS FOR HORSES
System Of Feeding That Keeps AMI
mails Healthy and Vigorous
Excellent Combination.

A gentleman engaged extensively in
the lumber business tn the north has
large number Of horses which he
feeds by system which makes and
keeps them healthy, hardy and vigor-
Gus.
In feeding them he cuts the hay
and grinds the oats; the hay being
well soaked with water IA hours be-
fore 1t Is fed. A little bran is added
to the ground oats and this mixed
meal Is then mixed with the hay.
The feed is given morning and
night. oats alone being fed at noon.
The ration per head a day is ten
pounds of the hay, ten pounds ground
oats and one pound, of bran. with
eight pounds Of dry oats fed at noon.
During seven years of such feeding
the lumberman has not lost single
horse, while previous to that he often
lost one from some digestive disor-
der.
Horses on the farm would not re-
quire such heavy feeding, but the CON-
bfnation Of food and manner Of feeding
could be followed by farmers with
profit.

KEEPING THE CLOSET CLEAN
One Solution of This Problem That
Confrents Many Is to Paint
Il White.

Usually there are about the house
closets SO dark that except at the
yearly or semi-yearly housekeeping It
Is impossible to tell whether or not
they are dirty. They are breeders of
disease, even in the best-managed
households, for no maid and few mis-
tresses will crawl into the dark hole
under the stairs or back in the kitchen
after perfectly invisible dust.
One solution of the problem Is to
paint these closets white, ceiling, floor
and walls. 1t is easy enough to see
dirt then, and the other and more use
full contents of the closet as we'll. If
one can keep the hall closet clean,
and find the family overshoe on sight,
simply by painting the closet white,
then. by all means, let US hasten to
the paintshop and remove the obsolete
and horrible wall paper that usually
lncumbers these germ hotels.
II the closet is still dark after this
treatment, try cleaning with the aid
Of the electric flashlight. There is no
danger Of fire, and corners can be
closely Investigated. All Of which is
an advantage to the housewife who
does not love dirt and disorder.
But always, when cleaning day
comes, consider first the closets. and
most important of all of these Is the
sloping, dark, neglected closet under
the stairs.

HITCHCOCK EXPLAINS SAVING

In a statement explaining how more
than 81, 100000 were saved the post
Office department during the last year,
Postmaster General Hitchcock says
$1,000,000 of this amount resulted
from economical reforms in city de.
iveries.
About s2.500,o0O was saved through
reforms in post Office management
More than 100000 was saved by
better handling of money-order and
registry departments. In spite of the
big decrease in the deficit, the mum
Der of employees was increased.
Reorganization in the rural delivery
service was responsible for about
y, 100000 CT the savings made In the
deficit, and this was accomplished
without any curtailment of service. A
reduction of 100000 is credited to the
star route service, including miscella
neous transportation of mail Other
than on railways.
The combined savings made in the
cost Of handling the mails in post of
fees and in all branches Of the serv
ice other than railway transportation
including an item of $450,000 for sup
plies and miscellaneous expenses
made an aggregate reduction o.
$6,150,000.
AS for the cost of railway mai
transportation, the preliminary rec
ords for the year indicate a reduction
of about $4,700,000 in the excess of ex
penditures over receipts.

CURE FOR collie IN HORSES
Two Excellent Remedies for Relieving
Animals Distress-Give Water,
but Not Too Much.

(By H. A. COOLEY, Georgia.)
Procure some gunpowder containing
saltpetre, which acts on the kidneys;
also some charcoal and soda. which act
upon the stomach, and intestines, and
drench the horse with this. Another
way Is to take saltpetre, alum, char.
coal and laudanum, equal parts, and
drench the horse with the mixture
They are all perfectly safe, except the
laudanum, so be careful not to give
over an ounce Of the laudanum. Keep
the horse we'll blanketed, and in a
warm place. Also see that he has
plenty of water, but not too much,
Ind feed. Driving the horse too hard
Or getting him overheated will cause

Alfalfa for Cows.

A correspondent who is building up
q herd of dairy cows asks about alfalfa
for cow feeding, and about the varie-
ties of alfalfa.
Our correspondent will make no mis-
take in getting field of alfalfa start
ed as soon as he can, for 1t is one, II
not the best COW feed in the form OF
hay that can be grown. Try a small
field at first and If you succeed In
crease 1t. It is sometimes shy in
starting, but any good corn land will
grow alfalfa.
The department of agriculture at
Washington has gone carefully into
the comparative value of feeding stuffs
and gives the following on this sub
ject:
Alfalfa hay, $2o1e; clover hay.
S14.12; timothy hay, $3.50; wheat
bran, $3.50; shelled corn, $20.16.
So 1t Is seen how high alfalfa Is
held as compared with other foods.
