The Rev. S. p. West Will
Submit a Series Of Arti-
cles on the Subject.
CBY &c Rev. S. y. Westl.

Editors OF the Telegram:
Dear Substituting always received
a courteous consideration and full
hearing in the columns of the Tele-
gram, we come now to beg a little
space from day to day in which to
discuss this, to our mind, very live is
sue, The Negro in Politics.
We read some time ago in the coll
umns OF the Telegram an article from
some one, we have forgotten whom.
but which went ON with Iabored arGu-
mcnt and alleged illustrative exam
pies, to prove a minister of the Gospel
unfit because of his sympathetic dis
position to sit on a jury in a trial OF
criminal cases. especially where life
or death is IN the issues of the trial.
Such an argument in its flnality
brings us to the conclusion that relig-
ion either letters, weakens or biases
judgment and thus units for just and
proper action in the other affairs Of
life This Is not and can never be
proved to be true. But to the con-
trary we claim that the ministry, the
men who I'LL the pulpits, are as sane
and safe leaders as any other class
of mem and just as capable OF judging
OF the right or wrong. the helpful or
the hurtrul as pertains to his fellow
man ia any OF the affairs that touch
us as a human race as any other
man, 1t was our privilege two years
ago to make the opening speech in the
Republican campaign of Monongalia
county and the Democratic press next
morning heraIded abroad that "a min
lister of the Gospel had SO far forgot
ten his dignity as to openIysgo upon
the political platform" This paper
only voiced the common belief that
when it GO mes to politics the minister
must play hands OFT. Blu. IL the min
fs:er is man he must take the place
of u man. If he Is a citizen he ought
to be expected to discharge the duties
of every other citizen. If he must 1--we
under tte laws OF the land he must
Interest himself in what those laws are

his Judgment be good or bad he must

And so we come not to exploit our
selves In these articles but rather to.
discharge a duty as man and as =
citizen. We shall be brief. consistent
and courteous to all. striving simply.
for ourselves and for our friends to

We take as our first proposition
that the negro must be active In poll

COAL FAMINE
In the Southern States is AL.
ready Reported with
River Falling.

With winter approaching rapidly
and the river on decline, prospects
for a coal boat stage are very dis
couraging to river men. Reports from
the southern states are to the effect
that the market is suffering greatly
and on the verge of coal famine.
Millions of bushels of coal are now
laying in the Pittsburg pools ready to
be shipped on the crest of coal boat
stage, but indications do not point to
a navigable stage maturing for some
time.
Fifteen coal boats are now anchored
in the pools below Plttsburg with
their fleets ready to clear on mo-
ments notice All the boats a.
manned, but unless rain sets in withir,
the next day or two the crews will be
discharged. The packet companies
have given up any hope of placing
their boats in operation this month.

HINTS FOR FARMERS
Draft Brood Mares.

The first thing which the farmer
and future horse breeder musb select
is his brood mares. These should be
selected primarily from the standpoint
of their being able to do the work re-
quired Of them. 1t would be mistake
to select heavy draft mares for some
of the rough hill or mountain farms
and a greater mistake to try to do the
work on comparatively level farms
with light mares. Horse power is
cheaper than man power.
Maternity rather than beauty should
also be kept in view. The best looking
mare is seldom the best breeder. The
brood mare should have a roomy,
somewhat loose construction rather
than the compact, closely knit form,
which is more attractive to the eye.
1t is a general rule Of breeding that
compactness should be sought in the
male, size in the female. A partial ex-
ception to this rule is in the produc-
ton Of draft horses on the farm. Ex-
cessively heavy mares would be un-
Wieldy for general farm work. There
fore size is sought in the stallion, and
mares are chosen which are not too
large to be profitable workers, but
large enough to mate consistently with
the stallion selected.-Professor Thom-
as l. Mairs Before Pennsylvania Nor
NAL Institute. sod t--ssess<-aeA

Paint Mixed With skimmiIk.

A good inside paint where gloss is
not required and one that will not rub
off can be made by mixing the dry
color with sweet skimmilk and apply
ing as other paint, says Farm Prog
ress. Ten cents worth of dry color
(some colors sell at about 5 cents a
pound, with milk to thin, will cover
as much surface as a dollars worth of
oil paint and answers admirably where
one is not justified in buying expen-
sive paint, as the case where one is
renting by the year.
Morris tribune. [volume] (Morris, Minn.) 1880-2000, 1910-01-14
Feed Cows Literally,

Remember it pays to feed a COW to
the limit of her capacity. 1t can be
I safely depended upon that cow
which receives only three-fourths of
full ration will yield only one-half as
much milk as the same COW receiving
a full ration. The reason for this is
that about 30 per cent of all the food
that COW consumes is required for
her maintenance. The other half goes
to form milk. When we withhold one
fourth Of the full allowance of feed
for COW we are supplying only one
half the amount of feed which is ac-
tually required for the production of
milk. Yet think that it is safe to
say that at least nine-tenths of our
dairymen fail to supply the final quar-
ter Of the cows ration. Always feed
COW to her full capacity, and this
means to supply feed as long as there
is an economical response in milk. OF
course it would be perfectly useless to
feed COW whose milk production is
limited to two gallons per day four
gallon ration, because the feed for the
two gallons would be Wasted.-Pro-
fessor John Michels.
Morris tribune. [volume] (Morris, Minn.) 1880-2000, 1910-01-14
Color In Draft Horses.

This important matter is certainly
too little considered. 1t is all moon
shine to say that good horse is new
er Of bad color, and the old saw has
done harm enough and to spare. The
fady colored equine may possibly be
able to do as hard days work as the
black, the brown or the dark chestnut,
but it very likely may not. Fady coli
ors and delicate constitution go to-
gether very often, while such shades
or blazing marks are never admired
by the buyer The dealer will not be
long telling you about it if you have
fady chestnut, piebald, light gray or
cream colored horse to sell, and GER
tainly those firms that pay high figures
for their heavy horses will not counte-
nance bad colors. Then upon the prin-
ciple Of holding every feature up to
top quality and missing no advantage
a farmer is foolish to breed from pc
culiar colored mares. How many Of
the most promising FLIES which wilf
make the best brood mares are sold
just because they bring in little ex
ira money, while the inferior ones are
kept to become brood mares!-W. r,
Gilbert in National Stockman. .~rr>~i

How Often to Milk.

Most farmers and dairymen milk
their cows only twice day, and that
is right. Sometimes fresh cow needs
to have an excess of milk drawn be
tween times in order to prevent CON
gestion and fever, but not for long
period. Some cows again have ''leak-
ing teats," which waste the milk if
not relieved three or four times day,
but such cows are a nuisance and
should be disposed Of. To milk twice
a day is enough, as general rule. To
milk three times does not seem to
bring more milk, though some people
have thought so and acted on that sup

year. There are in Minnesota almost,
but not quite, 1900 saloons. You can
get the exact number by inquiring at
the capital, for they have to report
there to pay the tax for the inebriate
farm. Four thousand, however, is
near enough for my purpose. Multi
ply the $4,000 receipts by the number
of saloons: 10,OO0x4, 900 and you have
$40, ,O0O, 900 spent in Minnesota over
the bars in our saloons which other
wise would be spent for the comforts
and conveniences of life. No one can
tell me that it is to the advantage of
the towns and villages of this State
that this vast sum should be SO spent
in saloons rather than in improving
our farms, in buying better machinery, {,
in paying for the neoessaries which
our merchants supply or deposited in
our banks to be used as necessity re-
quires.
