Controlled Newspapers.

The Atchison Globe says that no adj
Vertiser has ever tried to control it's ed
itoriaI policy, the remark being occa-
stoned by the charge often made nova
days, that the big advertisers direct
the editorial policy of newspapers.
The experience of the Globe is the
experience of most newspapers. The
merchant who does a great deal of ad-
yert1sing is more interested in the cir
culation department of a newspaper
than in the editorial department. If a
daily paper goes to the homes of the
people, and is read by them, he is salts
lied, and 1t may chase after any theory
or fad, for all he cares. He has troubles
OF his own, and he isn't trying to Shout
der those of the editorial brethren.
There are newspapers controlled by
people outside of the editorial rooms,
and good many of them, mores the
pity; but the people exercising that
control are not the business men who
pay their money for advertising space.
The newspapers which are established
for political purposes are often con-
trolled by chronic officeseekers, whose
first concern is their own interests.
There are newspapers controlled by
great corporations, and the voice of
such newspapers is always raised in
protest against any genuine reform
The average western newspaper usu-
ally is controlled by It's owner, and he
Is supposed to be in duty bound to make
all sorts of sacrifices at all sorts of
times; there are people who consider
1t his duty to insult his advertisers,
just to show that he is free and indie
pendent. If he shows a decent respect
for his patrons, who pay him their
money, and make it possible for him to
carry on the business, he is "subsi-
died or controlled" The newspaper
owner is business man, like the dry
goods man or the grocer. The mer-
chants are expected to have considera-
ton for their customers, and they are
not supposed to be subsidized by the
man who spends five dollars with
them, but the publisher is expected to
demonstrate his courage by showing
that he is ungrateful for the patron
age of his friends. 1t is a funny COM
bination when you think it over
Emporid Gazette.

Pretty Guimpe Dress


In these days when guimpe dresses

The paisley tie is pretty touch
which will add richness to the mid
summer shirtwaist and while the fash
ion expert persists in the passing of
the separate skirt she suggests more
and still more ties that will, like the
paisley print, harmonic with this
skirt, which is not in question. but out
of the count.
All of this is a tacit consent to the
cool shirtwaist; but wear the white
blouse with a white linen skirt when
ever you can, instead of dividing your
self, and the pretty tie will prove none
the less effective.
Color enters in here, for the Persian
prints come in all tones and tints, and
the paisley tie is only at its best on
you when it is chosen in a becoming
general tone.

Fffty-ninth street and Fifth avenue.
Colonel Roosevelt again showed his
preference for the motor car in gen

when he, Cornelius Vanderbilt and Col

riage to White Steamers, which were

After luncheon at Mr.. Robinson'a

Colonel Roosevelt, again entered White

cial train to the ex-Presidents hons

The supremacy of the White cars
with the Roosevelt party was again
demonstrated on Sunday when the

White Steamers, and a group of some
forty prominent Rough Riders were
taken in White Gasoline Truck to-
clambake at the Travers island club
house of the New York Athletic Club.

Where cream or butter only is sold,
dairying and pig or poultry raising
are a good combination, the skim milk
and buttermilk being fed to the pigs

Gt5NOIESD

A team that works in the field all
week should be allowed to rest on
Sunday.
Be sure the sows are not constipa-
ted. Give roots, fruits and oilmeal
in the feed.
Too much feed should not be
steamed at one time as it is apt to
become sour and unpaIatable.
The fact that hogs require a great
deal Of water makes feed fed as slop
more desirable than dry feed.
If the horse must be kept in the
barn during hot weather, keep all the
doors and windows wide open
Every sheep owner should keep a
pure-bred ram, but every man is not
qualified to keep pure-bred stock.
Five minutes work with a rough
cloth on a horses hide after a hard

Everything possible should be done
to bring the ewes to a vigorous flesh
forming condition at the mating
period.
The small stomach of the horse in
oICcNCS IIO ILL Op4A Icy VI IOLS last
ing. Feed three times q day at all
times of the year.
Sheep are excellent farm cleaners,
weed killers and fertilizers
Hogs fed on cornmeal and tankage
require a great deal of water and this
adds to the digestibility of the feed
and helps to make gain.
A hog will eat almost anything
when very hungry, but his appetite
should be tempted with palatable food
if he is to make the greatest possible
profit.
Steaming feed for hogs is an easy
matter. All that is required is large
box connected with a small boiler by
a one-inch pipe. The pipe should
connect with the box at the bottom.

Good Cow Paws Best.

It does not cost much more to feed
a good COW than it does to feed a poor
one. The good COW will pay market
price for the feed and a profit besides.
The poor one will not even return
what you can get for the feed she
eats in the market.

Stud In Place of Rutfnn

Month Of Pleasure. Feasiins and Mar
riaae

There are three months in the twelve
month wherein lovesick couples desire
particularly to be wed; they are May,
June and October.
October is the best month. It com
mands the open CRATE; it has the apple,
the chestnut; it tempts one to the chill
ly invitation of frost. And the man is
not a man who cannot respond to the
call of the cold. Let every boy re-
member in early days how he lay in
the garnet, or attic-and endured the
the pangs of chill. Did it do him any
harm? Did anything come to him but
endurance?
In October occurs big things. We
find ehestnuts beginning to burst, we
have the apples at their best; the pump
kin is really yellow and ready for tire
pie. The other nuts are getting ripe
and yearning for us. So in this month
of months we have at once the vintage
of the year and the great pleasure Of
the year and the great pleasure of its
cool climate It is the month Of mar
rage, the month of late watermelons
and the delicate cabbage.
October shows the way to winter. II
is the advance Of ice, of snow, of skat-
ing, of all the wintry weather. 1t is a
noble month, and we welcome it for il
brings as frost and furry things. = Ex.
