Landslide I'm Ma.sacbu,ett..

The biggest election landslide that
old New England ever has experience
ed was the overwhelming election of
Eugene ~ Foss, of Boston on the Dem
ocratic ticket, over William R. Bu-
chanan of Brockton, Republican, to
represent the Fourteenth Massachu-
sets District in Congress, in compile
ton of the unexpired term of the late
Congressman Lowering, Republican.
The plurality is 5,640 for Foss in the
strongest Republican district in the
State. Although aided by Senator
Lodge and Governor Draper, who
stusmped the larger cities, Buchanan
was unable to keep the district in the
Republican column.
Eugene Foss is a brother of Con-
gresham George E. Foss, of Chicago,
who represents the Tenth Illinois Dis
trict This is the first political vic
tory of the Massachusetts brother, who
has fought several notable campaigns
on the platform of Canadian reciproc-
ity.
The eyes of the nation were on this
election as a straw showing how the
political wind is blowing in national
politics. The result is taken to mean
the downfall of Lodge bossism, the
dissatisfaction of the Cape Codders
with the deeds of the present national
administration, and as a direct slap al
the high cost of living
The sensation produced in Boston
by the result knows no bounds. Gov
ernor Draper, when asked for a state.

Trade war Inevitable.

President Taft's diplomatic talent
evidently is not of an order to per-
suade Canada to submit tamely to the
farrcgant demands of the Aldrich-Taft
tariff. Trade war with our next-door
neighbor and second largest customer
seems inevitable.
Canadian exporters, busily cultivat-
ing the South American and Asiatic
markets which the United States neg
lects, openly advocate standing firm
against the Aldrich-Taft tariff. The
Canadian Manufacturers Association
| is rejoicing over the situation. Cana
dian statesmen do not give the least
intimation of yielding one point. Can.
ada has Just entered on an era of Won
derful development. Canadians well
come the prospect of the Aldrich-Taft
maximum, because they realize that
the ensuing imposition of 1914 per
cent Canadian surtax on imports from
the United States will smut out $780,
O00. 900 of American goods each year
and stimulate Canadian industries to
corresponding extent.
The trade war cannot now be avoid
ed. The consequences will be serious.
and the United States will be the prin-
cipal sufferer. This country needs
Canada more than Canada needs this
country, and the short-sighted policy
that erects a higher barrier between
them will condemn itself by it's own
evil effects. Incidentally, the spectacle
of the President of the United States
eating humble-pie cannot fail to please
Canadians, who have not forgotten the
insolent treatment accorded their own
reciprocity ENJOYS at Washington
twelve years or more ago.

GARDEN OF EDEN FOUND AGAIN.

Now In Indfa, North of Bagdad, Ac-
cording to Sir w. Wilcox.
With Capt. Bertram Dickson, form
erly British military consul at Van,
having located just where the ark
struck real land after the deluge, and
having demonstrated additionally that
Noah was much given to the juice of
the grape, even though he invented the
water wagon Sir William Willcocks,
the British adviser to the Turkish
ministry of public works, now has
come along with statement as to
the precise geographical location OF
the Garden of Eden, the London cor
respondent of the New York Herald
says. According to his measurements
the homestead of Adam and Eve was
situated in the HARLAN district, just
about $50 kilometers north of Bag
dad.
This spot, so it is explained, is an
oasis, situated in the center of a vast,
desolate plain, which is traversed by
four arms of the Euphrates, which
represents the four rivers that are
mentioned In Biblical stories of the
Garden of Eden. OF the four rivers
referred to the Euphrates apparently
is the same river which still is known
by that name, and the Hiddekel has
been almost universally identified with
the Tigris.
The object of commentators who
have sought to put literal construc-
ton on the passage, therefore, has
been to identify the Pison and the
Gihon, by finding two rivers, which,
together with the Euphrates and the
Tigris, fulfill the conditions stated In
Genesis: And river went out Of
Eden to water the garden, and from
thence it was parted and became into
four heads" AS there is no river
which forms common source for the
Euphrates, the Tigris and two others,
recourse has been had to strained
construction of one kind or other
The quarrel between Cain and Abel,
so Sir William holds, arose, according
to local tradition, over the water sup
ply. Cain and his followers were
agrienlturists, who cultivated the
banks of the river, while Abel was a
shepherd, and it was necessary for
his fiocks that the pasturage on the
plain should be irrigated That Is to
say, If the river flowed in its natural
bed the tillers of the soil would pros
per, but If the waters were spread
over the plains the shepherds would
prosper. As the result of the row
victory rested with Cain.
AS to the deluge Sir William sug-
gests that the dams or dykes built
by the pastoral dwellers to conserve
the waters of the Euphrates and the
Tigris bust and the plain between the
rivers was submerged, the greater part
of the population being drowned. Noah,
having advance information as to the
condition of the dams and foreseeing
their collapse, built the ark and thus
escaped the big flood when 1t did come
Hence his voyage may not have been
so long in point of distance trayersed
as often has been credited in his mari
time record.

ON a Cash business.

The dairyman has something to sell
for cash every day in the year. His
daily cash receipts may not seem very
large to men who have been used to
grain farming or stock farming, but at
the end of the year his bank account
will make very good showing along
with that of his neighbor who farms
on broader scale. Ready money is
greatly to be desired at all times and
the dairyman is more fortunate in
that respect than any other farmer.
Another thing in his favor is that he

Height of MIX FIo,v.

A COW does not come to her high
est and best flow of milk until about
the fourth week after freshening. Dur
ing these first weeks of lactation she
should not be given all she will eat
and part of the feed should be of a
laxative nature. She may be placed
on full feed at the end of the fourth
week, when the flow will be at its
best. The COW with her first calf may
not come to her fullest and best flow
OF milk until the fifth or sixth week,
owing to the fact that bringing forth
young for the first time is a more Sc
we're physical strain than later in life,
hence longer time for recovery from
the weakness caused by CESSATION will
be required. For this reason, the
young COW coming fresh should be
fed more carefully than older cows at
the same period.

A New ..TricE >,

Grinding hay is one of the newer
tricks, with alfalfa meal as the result.
This is another example of the grinder
making the feed more valuable. 1t puts
the alfalfa in such shape that it may
all be assimilated. That it makes the
stuff worth $40 a ton hardly seems
probable, but town farmers are pay
ing that price and feeling satisfied
with the result. A farmer with S3-a-
ton alfalfa could not exchange it for
alfalfa meal, paying $12 difference,
and save his sin whole. 1t would not
surprise me to see a portable machine
on the market in . few years that can
be moved from farm to farm, doing
alfalfa grinding for us.-Field and

No farmer is so well-to-do that he

DDS. Corn is worth money every year,
and every bushel fed should yield a..
profit. No hog feeder can afford to
waste corn, which is money, by the
old-fashioned system of feeding. The
man who expects to make money feed
ing corn to hogs nowadays must
avoid waste and pay some regard to
the laws OF Matchmaking. There
should be a dry feeding floor on every
farm where hogs are fed. This is
