THE FARMER AND HIS AUToMo-
BILE.

One E. T. Fairchild. who has been
making a census of the school at
tendance I'm the state of Kansas, COM
mits himself to the opinion that the
decrease in the birth rate of that
state is a result of an increase in the
use of the automobile. AS it would be
impossible to arrive at such a con-
clusion by mere human reason. we
suppose that Mr.. Fairchild gets his
results by sheer genius, even as
Shakespeare and the federal attorney
general. The only possible alterna-
tive is that his prenatural sagacity
runs in the family, like wooden legs.
Probably Mr.. Fairchild would not
have stimulated any comment in
these columns but that he represents
a class which has developed in a most
astonishing way in the past few years.
We seem to have grown past the
time when a man was content to do
important but not impressive work
in a thoroughly efficient manner with
tut trying to intrude his own PERSONAL
tty into it.
There are altogether too many state
and federal reports full of fake soci-
ology. offering just such sweeping and
inconsequential deductions as the one
quoted.
We are inclined to think that the
farmer in Kansas and elsewhere Is
suffering from too much automobile.
He is not merely afflicted in that
way, but there are certain complaints
following in it's train which, like the

ali the automobiles made in America
American railroads are using p
1SO. 900 freight ears, which must be
loaded and unloaded chiefly by good
draught horses. The auto trucks
would be welcomed : tor carry a
part Of this burden that is increasing
faster than We scan q, produce the
horses to handle it, but they give
practically no help to overburdened
horses, and the automobile doesn't
handle freight, so it is up TO the
farmers to raise more horses, and
to raise larger and better horses to
haul larger loads. to load and unload
a million freight cars every day is a
work no other nation can accomplish.
Weed out the inferior horses and
breed better horses to have better
farm mares and better geldings for
the market The horse weeder is "A
good thing but the farmer who can
weed his horses will improve each
year i'm raising better horses that will
sell at better prices.
High grade draught mares, bred to
the best pure bred stations, grow
into more money and are the best
farm teams i'm the world. The geld
ing colts, with good size and type,
are the highest priced grade stock of
the farm The high grade fillies and
mares are worth double as much for
breeding

THE HORSE.
a Great and Increasing Industry in
Spite of Automobiles.

The automobile enthusiasts are
still dreaming, talking and writing of
the horseless age" For a clean
city" this has been the burden OF
their song for ten years, and horses
have increased six million head
and we now have $1,000 farm and
horses. with a $500. OOO, OG0 valuation
and higher prices than ever before
-S25O to $500 for good draught hor-
ses, and several $1,000 teams are in
|, our cities. The automobile or me-
chanical traction has neither helped
nor hurt the horse.
The railroads and every form of
machinery have called for more nor
ses to do the increasing work, and
wen the horse is banished from the
streets of our cities the great vol
ume of business must cease and the
freight trains will rust on the side
tracks.
Statistics show that only $4,000 au-
tomobiles and mechanical traction
cars were made in the United States
in 1909, and perhaps 100000 for 1910,
which at $1,000 a car is only $780,

France makes about -. $4,000 cars

The 100000 horses in Illinois
alone are valued at S256,000,00O which
is more than all of the automobiles
in the world Horse breeding is the
most important and most profitable

OSBORKS DELEGATES
ARE ALREADY NAMED
For the Democratic County Conven-
ton, August 10.

The Osborn precinct delegates to
the democratic county convention for
the selection of candidates for dele
gates to the constitutional convention
have already been chosen. Though
the primaries will not be held until
next Saturday, a caucus which always
settles such matters in Osborn has
acted so that the primary there will
be nothing more than formal ratifi-
cation of the choice of the following
delegates: George Cummings, Joseph
Geare, Sr., w. L. Teel, John p. Orme,
f. NJ Avis, c. b. Wood and j. a. r.
Irvine.
The democratic candidates for dele
gates to the constitutional convention
are now believed to have been all list
ed, though possibly others will be an
nounced up to the time of the cleo
ton on September u.
The following are those who are
understood to be receptive to the eX-
tent that they could be dragged into
the constitutional convention without
having their clothes torn off in a de-
termined resistance: o. S. Stapley,

1t is said that all, or nearly all, of
the foregoing would fight for the
initiative, the referendum and recall,
and that a minority of them would
insist that the convention should COM
NIT itself on the subject of prohi-
bition.
Inasmuch as there c~r be only nine
candidates named, the foregoing list Is
subject to a good deal of sitting.
