purpose. Her tastes are domestic.
There is no nicer animal than we'll
bred, well-train ed Jersey, and no bet
ter milk producer, when proper atten-
ton is given to selection of stock. The
Jersey is not massive in architecture,
will occupy less stall room, will readily
yield to kind attention, is of color well
suited to stable conditions, land is a poor
mixer, and advertises the wagon which
retails her yellow milk. Jersey milk is
good subject to talk. 1t is never
refused by the customers. In fact,
Jersey mik-men have the right of way.
A Jersey herd can be kept up in color
and be sized. A good many stock
growers are turning to the one kind, one
color idea. Poultry growers take pride
in this solidarity of stock. So herd of
cattle of one kind lends a substantial
tone to the farm. And no herd is more
attractive than the uniform Jersey. At
the same time it must be remembered
that the Jersey dairy farm can turn its
output into dollars as rapidly as it can
be marketed. And the farmer owes it
to himself, his customers and his herd
to breed up his stock and keep it up.
One other thing: A good Jersey cow
commands good market price, up about
the seventy-dollar point, and she is a
desirable town animal. She readily
adopts herself to new conditions, is
easily led, occupies limited space, and
is in many respects the most desirable
urban animal. This creates a greater
demand, and the demand keeps up the
price, and is worth considering. 1t
would pay cattle breeders to have
the training Of good milk cows for
special market as well as for farm dairy
ing. A visit to the great stock yards
impresses one with the Hereford as a
popular range beef producer. A visit
to the eastern large dairy farms turns
attention to the Jersey as profitable
investment for those who wish to get
hold of the best milk trade and keep it..

THE DEFEAT OF CANNON WHAT
IT MEANS.

The crisis in national affairs toward
which the country has been steadily
progressing scince Theodore Roosevelt
entered the White house has arrived.
The inevitable conflict which every
clear-eyed, thoughtful citizen has fore
seen for years has begun. The ire
concilable elements within the ranks
81. the republican party have come to
the point of open war.
The sudden spectacular struggle
which terminated the undisputable rule
Of Speaker Cannon in the house Of re-
representatives. Saturday and restored a
real rule of the majority in that great
est popular assembly, took away the
mark of an assumed association of two
opposing forces, brushed aside the veil
of an unreal peace which sought to con-
ceal a divided house, and sharply
brought face to face the old order and
the new.
The event will be. widely decried as
fatal to republican control, as suicidal
to party success, as presagingignomin-
ious defeat in the approaching con-
gressional election. 1t may be all that
and yet fail to cause regret or pain
among patriotic Americans who view
their party's needs as subordinate to
their country's. There was once a
time when party solidarity and unity
had to yield to national solidarity and
unity, when lack Of division within a
party brought division in the country
and who shall say the present d not
another such? Does not the situation

The Jersey Generally.

There is no more valuable animal
about the farm than the well-bred, WE'LL
fed Jersey. With milk and butter at
present prices, dairymen should sit up
and take notice. This is no unfair nor
corner-produced market price. The
farmer is at last coming into his own,
and he must be wise enough to lay hold
of it and maintain it. Heretofore, the
labor value of services of boys and wife
has not been considered. Now, things
are coming up the road to- the farm
house. and the folks had better get busy
and act wisely.
A farmers wisdom is best advertised
in his fields, his flocks and his fences.
The farmer who entertains scrub"
stock should be black-balled from the
lodge of progressive men. 1t might be
a good idea to fix plan by which alone
stock may be reproduced. A good ami
NAL is as easily supported and fed as. q
poor one and will command better
market, but too many farmers care lit
tie about the inbreeding and the down.
breeding of cattle, sheep and hogs. The
farm needs better cattle, and it will pay
to have them.
When farmer has breed Of good
cattle, he should not turn the well-bred
calves into veal for few quick dollars.
It is a crime to kill off the young of the
herd. These good young animals should
be allowed to grow into neighborhood
values. Ifthe owner does not want
to raise the heifer for good COW
for his own dairy, some one does or
should want her, and the man who wants
her will be a good buyer, If the bargain
is good one. 1t may take little ad-
vertising but it pays. Only the calves
that have no promise should be turned
into money as soon as possible. A
scrawny, long-haired, long legged light
quartered COW is community disgrace,
of no more value than sheep-killing
dog. The aim should be to get good
stock, and keep it up to par.
Now the kind of COW must be settled
by the service to be rendered. The
trouble has been that farmers ask their
dairy herd to serve dual purpose, breed
for beef and for milk. The Jersey claims
no record a. beef producer. She de-
mands careful treatment for special

Say, Mr.. and Mrs. Reader, do you
know that you have the making or

know that you are laying the founda-

and it's dollars toIdoughnuts that you
have happy and contented family, one
that will bless their advent to this

On the other hand, cultivate AMBROSE
disposition; see the wrath Of failure in
everything, always compare your lot
with one who has little more of this

that you are better off than thousands
of others; persist in magnifying trou-

glorious sunshine that follows, and its
dollars to mighty small doughnuts, that
you have made your life miserable. and
your family's not a pleasant one.
Go into town, and ask the inhabit-

they all unite in telling you that bust
ness is on the bum: that the town is

and for the sole reason that you have

Visit another town, drop in and see
the inhibitants; ask them how every
thing is going. If they tell you that it

they tell you that they have progress,

tell you that everyone is pulling to-

Chase S. Osborn is the man of the
hour if the majority party is to purge
itself, says the Detroit Times. He is
not an Office seeker. AS candidate for
the governorship he is responding at a
great personal and business sacrifice to
call from the decent and state loving
citizenship of Michigan. He is a man
of capability and of principles suited to
the emergent situation. And let us re-
peat, more firm in our belief since the
remarkable demonstration in this city
Monday night for the democratic candi-
date, that the next governor of Michi-
gan will be Chase S. Osborn or demo-
crat.

with which we are confronted demand
not partisanship but patriotism? These
are questions one must ponder well.
Indisputably Speaker Cannon is most
unjustly accused Of many things for
which he is in no wise responsible. He
is made to suffer for the sins Of sys-
tenn, not wholly of his own creation,
but Of which he happens to be the
actual head. Many of the twenty odd
years which Joseph Cannon has served
in the house have been years filed with
steady, patriotic, meaningful work. As
chairman of the committee on APP
preparations he saved the national treas
ury millions upon millions which other
wise might have been made the spoil of
concisenceless looters. For years he
bore the well-earned sobriquet of the
watch dog of the treasury.
AS speaker he has used his tremen-
dous power to prevent much useless,
vicious and ill-advised legislation. For
these real achievements of patriotic,
representative service he today gets
but little credit. His best work is for
gotten and he is publicly Inundated
while nation applauds. -
Why?
Because during his reign as speaker
new conditions have made new politi-
cal divisions. A new peril has grown
up, demanding new remedy, and Can
non, politician and statesman of the
old school, both denied the need of
remedy. His philosophy as well as his
methods are those of yesterday, adj
mirably adapted to meet the conditions
of that time but inadequate for the
present. And so Uncle Joe became a
sacrifice, victim of circumstances.
Since Washington's day the United
States has witnessed never ceasing
struggle for real popular rule against
the encroachments of an entrenched
privileged class. jefferson entered the
White house as protest against the
oligarchic rule of upper, land-owning,
educated classes. Jackson rode his
way to the executive Office through the
ranks of an aroused democracy. The
attempted dictation and control of the
slave interests of the south seated
Abraham Lincoln in the presidents
chair and restored popular rule. In
this present crisis Roosevelt led the
first charge against entrenched privi-
lege and selfish greed. The work he
begun is now bearing its appropriate
and proper fruit in struggle to restore
the rule of the majority in the popular
assembly, not for single day upon
the single question of who should fill
the speakers chair and assume the
whole power of that majority, but
real popular rule in which the majority
should be free to meet each problem
upon its merits so far as that is con-
sistent with orderly and resultful par
procedure and with as slight
delegation of that authority to the
speaker as may be. 500 News.
