PLEASE, TEDDY

The reform must be worked out in
and through the Republican party,
says Mr. Garfield. but a good many
millions OF people are hoping that Mr..
Roosevelt's ideas on this are much
stronger and broader.
For half century Mr. Garfeld's
party has dominated national policies,
almost without interruption. In spite
OF this continued power intrusted TO

To say that the tremendous, eager.
popular demand for reform must be
satisfied with what any mere party
can do toward little housekeeping
Is expressing almighty little con

HOW HE HANDLED THEM.

During the last week in October R.
feeder Of cattle and hogs, who lives
at Delavan, ILL.,, sold a carload of two
year-old branded Montana bred Angus
steers on the Chicago market at SO,
the highest price ever paid for brand
ed range fed cattle on the regular
market. The steers averaged 1901
pounds In weight and brought the
owner trlie over $135 apiece. Cat
tie feeders will be interested in Mr..
Bra wner's history Of the care Of this
bunch Of profitable beeves. He says:
These cattle were bought on the
Chicago market one year ago yester-
day as yearlings, averaging 100
pounds, at "a per 100 pounds. They
were bred and raised on a ranch near
Livingston, Mont. took them home
aud roughed them through last win
ter In the stalk fields and with little
clover hay until April i, then fed
them in dry lot for about six weeks,
when ! placed them on blue grass
pasture, with q light ear corn ration
fed each evening until Sept. /. then
began giving them a full ration Of
crushed corn and oats, with dry fod-
der on pasture, until shortly before
shipment, when they were again
placed In dry lot. No patent stock
foods were used. think the dry fod-
der was a great help to their finish, as
they always ate 1t with great relish.
As a general proposition strongly rec
ommend feeding shock corn complete
to cattle after Sept. /. do not ap-
prove Of a standing ration of corn ell
Their in self feeder or troughs, but in
fattening cattle l feed once per day
regularly just enough grain to be eat
en- up clean This lot Of cattle was
fattened with the least corn Of any l
ever fed, and l have fed cattle prac-
tically all my life"
One or two further points Of inter
est In connection with Mr.. Brawner's
methods are that he makes a great
point Of careful and gentle treatment
Of his feeding animals; that he uses
manure spreader on his farm all the
time, having In mind the necessity Of
maintaining soil fertility by selling
beef and pork rather than raw grain
products. He also places a high esti-
mate on the well bred range fed steer
as uniform, growthy and free from dis
ease.

SOME REASONS FoR 1T.

While 1t is a matter of real concern
having their very lifeblood sapped
out by the large increase in catalogue
house business, there are some fea-
lures In the cause of this increase
that II would be well II merchants
and residents OF these same small
towns would take into account. One Is
the practice Of the merchant In charg-
ing more than a reasonable profit on
some lines of goods offered for sale
This begets the mail order habit,
which doesn't, as rule, stop with the
articles on which unreasonable prices
have been charged. Another reason
for the mail order business is that the
home merchant so seldom In his ad-
vertising announcement-if, indeed, be
has one In the home paper-names a
definite and specific price for his
goods. thing that is invariably done
In the mail order catalogue. Another
feature that is raising hob with more
than one town is that staples offered
for sale In Its stores cost more than
the same goods in adjoining towns,
while the prices paid for live stock
and produce are from 10 to 80 cents
per hundred less. In helping the small
town out Of the dilemma which many
OF them are getting into there is much
that can be done by those whose in
terests are most vitality involved

CHIN ESE CORN.

In 1908 the department of agrieul-
ture at Washington received small
lot OF shelled corn from China, and q
test was given it the same season. 1t
showed qualities which may make 1t
valuable In the breeding of a type Of
corn which will be adapted to the hot
and semiarid conditions of the south
west. The plant raised In the test
averaged less than six feet In height,
with an average of q dozen green
leaves at the time of tasseling. The
ears averaged five and one-half inches
in length and four and one-half inches
In greatest circumference, with six.
teen to eighteen rows of small grains.
A peculiarly Of this variety is that
ON the upper part Of the stalk the
leaves are all on one side instead of
being arranged on both, as In the ma.
tive corn. The upper leaves stand
erect, their tips extending beyond the
tassel. The silks Of the ear are pro.
duced at the point where the leaf
blade is Joined to the leaf sheath, and
they appear before there is any sign
OF an ear beyond a slight swelling
This latter characteristic would seem
TO be an aid in preventing a drying
out OF the silks before pollination. II
Is thought by the department officials
that by cgossbreeding some Of these
desirable qualities may be- transmit
ted TO larger tyre OF com.
