Besides the lice on the hen, many a

President Taft should not be misled
by the explanations offered by party
newspapers of his loss of popular con-
fidence. The esteemed Tribune, for
example, assures him that the criti-
cism now passed upon him comes only
from Democrats who are always in
opposition, professional independents
who are hostile to the tariff, profess
sional insurgents who delight in adj
vertising themselves, and small cot
erie of professional Rooseveltians.
While there Is some truth in all this,
the complaints that count, the influ-
ences that have chilled popular senti-
ment and the doubts that have seri-
ously weakened the Presidents hold
upon the people are to be found else.

The President has identified himself
unnecessarily and inconsistently with

ular. He has gone out of his way to

Great and we'll deserved as was the

ted Mr.. Taft of blame in the beginning,
but he has convicted himself out Of
his own mouth. His defense Of ME

has awakened suspicion even of him,
while 1t has not helped them in the
least. .sl ~
One vital mistake on his part has
led to others. The rocks on which his
administrative ship is now pounding
are those Of party. He has thought
more of party than he has Of himself,
of his pledges, of his place in history.
He has thought more of party than
he has of country. To save the party
he has embraced the congressional
leaders who betrayed him, he has In

Republic to do such thing--haa stood

to cry down a nations angry pro-

Mr.. Taft's true friends will tell him
that there is nothing professional or
casual In the criticism which now as
sails him. 1t is based on sense Of
wrong and injustice. 1t rests on a
conviction that greed and trickepy
have once more triumphed. There is
a painful belief that the President
himself has not been entirely frank
In his actions or candid In his utter

1t will not be easy for Mr., Taft to
retrace the steps that he has taken or

The tests we want are the ones made

week or one year, writes New York

will show the capacity Of the COW. and
a years test will show the ability Of
the man as feeder. With proper
feeding there is little danger of injur-
ing, the offspring. The first thing
look for when reading a test is the
amount and kind of feeds fed; then 1
can tell whether the COW is paying
proposition or not. A COW that eats a
dollars worth Of feed to produce dol
lars worth Of butter is Of little value,
even though she produces 90 pounds
OF butter per week. What prospective
purchasers want and are entitled to Is
what your COW has done for year In
milk according to the test, what feeds
were fed and what kind of care was
given. Don't pamper, don't stun, but
don't be afraid to feed. There are thou

President Cleveland went to defeat
once on the tariff-reform issue. but,
later was sent back, with a Democratic
Congress to support him on a tariff
reform platform.
If Democracy ever had clear man.
date from the people 1t was to lower
their tariff burdens at the time the
Wilson act was passed. Yet the lat
ter measure, when 1t came from the
trust-ridden Senate, was so emasculated;
that Cleveland refused to sign 1t,
though he allowed 1T to become law
without his signature.
The Wilson act, originally a real
tariff reform measure. was mangled by
the Interests led by German and
Brice in the Senate and "Pig-iron''
Kelley in the House. 1t ceased to be
Democratic measure. though the
Democratic party was responsible for
1t.
The moral OF which is that Democ.
racy's summons In the coming cam
paign, to prepare for real tariff re.
vision in Congress, is as clear and as
well defined as. it was nearly twenty
years ago. Also. that the same in

will, even If Democrats take charge.
There is only one way that the
American people can beat the Inter
est" into submission to their will
by sending to Washington a Demo-
cratic Congress. and keeping tariff
traitors out Of It.

FACTORING Animals.

One thing we have learned, however,
and that is that the best thing to DIN
a case OF ordinary illness isI to do
nothing. Just give nature chance to
attend the patient. Nine times out Of
ten we do not exactly know what is
the matter with the ailing creature.
Symptoms are all we have to gosby
anyhow, and they are usually complex
with man and beast.
Cattle have the sense to do what We
men folks seldom will, and that is stop
eating when they do not feel right.
That is one of natures best methods
Of curing sickness with us all. Just
let. the system work on some Of the
accumulated matter and the chances
are that everything will soon be all
right. II we can do anything to help
in this process, all right. Treatment
to thoroughly relieve the burdened

Treatment for Worms In Horses.
This is one of the best worm de-

spoonful in a wheat bran mush every

be given in smaller proportion to size

A veterinary supply house advises
the following remedy for worms in
horses: Give a teaspoonful of pow
dered copper sulphate every morning
in feed for three or four days, then
give two ounces of turpentine in pint
Of raw linseed OIL. Feed soft feed and
keep infected animal in the stable
while under this treatment.

A very good ration for milk produc-
ton would be as follows: Feed daily
to each COW thirty pounds Of silage
and about ten pounds oflhay A very
good mixture to go with this roughage
would consist Of 300 pounds Of gluten
feed. 200 pounds of bran and 300
pounds Of corn chop, and for each 3la
to 4 pounds OF milk produced give 1
pound of this combination. 81
If it is found impracticable to give
ten pounds Of hay daily, the allowance
may be cut to five and the oat straw
may take its place. II this is done, we
should advise adding 100 pounds cot
ton seed meal to the above mixture
and then feeding as directed.
