INSURGENT NOSES.

The "stand-patters and insur-

Lachmund, engaged in a tilt at the
meeting of the city council last
night over the old proposition to pay
the balance of the contract price for
the improvement of North Front
street which has been the bone of
contention in the council for the past
two months and has twice caused
the complete disruption and disor-
ganization of that body, and the
"stand-patters" won the day when
the qeustion of paying the balance
of the contract price of the improve
ment to the contractor, presented on
motion of Alderman Huckestein, was
carried by a big majority
This was not accomplished, how
ever, until Acting Mayor StoIz and
Alderman Lachmund engaged in a

made by the sarcastic alderman

Portland, Sept. 20.-"Notwith-
standing the entire lack of organiza-
tion, the anti-assembly campaign has
been admirably conducted" said Sen
ator Jonathan Bourne, Jr., today, in
statement issu to the press. "The
progressive newspapers, the grange
and the labor leaders, together with
candidates who stand for progress
siSe laws, have done splendid work,
and the election returns will show
that the work has not been in vain.
Naturally the greater part of the
work has fallen upon the progressive
newspapers, for the campaign is
largely one of information This IS a
fight of the people against political
bosses and machines, and all that is
necessary is that the people shall be
advised which candidates stand for
the machine, and which are advocates
of truly popular government. There
can be no doubt how the people will
vote if they know the attitude of the
various candidates.
Unfortunately some of tha assem-
bly, candidates have been so ashamed
of their position and so dishonest in
their methods as to pose as friends
of the direct primary, hence it has
fallen largely to the newspapers to
show their real attitude and expose
the deception. The courage, patriot
ism and loyalty to principle displayed
by progressive newspapers in this
work merits the highest commenda-
tion.
Efforts have been made by dishon-
est newspapers and public speakers to-
frighten advocates of the direct prl-
mary and Statement No. by asser-
tions that ] am using "slush fund"

ence. So far as l am personally con-
cerned, this, like all other falsehoods
about me, would go unanswered.

make this declaration:

New York, Sept. 2O.-Colone'
Theodore Roosevelt reached his Of
flee in the Outlook today rather lat.
er than usual. He told the cores.
pondents that he had no statement
to make regarding his interview with
Taft yesterday at New Haven. He
said, however, that he wanted it dis
tinctly understood that he would
not compromise at the Saratoga con-.
vention.
Intimate friends of the colonel to-
day intimate that the former presi
dent had no cause to feel exulted
over the conference yesterday. IF
he expected help from Taft in the
New York situation, he was disap-
pointed, it is intimated.
A number of callers arrived at the
Outlook Office but their conferences
with Roosevelt were short and ap-
parently of little Importance.
Just what effect the conference
will have on the New York situation
today is problematical and politi-
clans are decidedly unsettled in re-
gard to the matter. They are all
agreed that New York politics
formed the center of the conference
and that in all likelihood the gov
ernorship was mentioned. Whether
Roosevelt asked Taft to support Ot-
to Barnard, is not known but it
seems pretty evident that If this was
asked, according to the politicians,
there was little disposition on the
part of the president to enthusiastic
cally support anv candidate before
the nomination convention completes
its work.
1t is believed that Taft will keep
out Of the New York fight and that
further than the letter sent to Girls
com he will have nothing to say un-
til the Saratoga convention is over
with.

, Taft today. From all parts of the
country messages have been pour
ing in on the chief executive, com
graduating him on his stand yester.
day in the conference with Roose-
welt. The kilograms all infer that
Taft refused to acquiesce to the re-
quests made by the former president
at the New Haven meeting
The politicians aboard the train
also praise Taft for the stand that
he has taken. The fact that the
colonel sought the interview is being
pointed out as an indication that the
president is a real leader and that
this is realized by Roosevelt proba-
bly, better than by any one else.
The administration forces are jub-
liant. One United States senator
whose name has been withheld
wired the president today:
"The most important political
victory of recent times is yours"
Similar messages have been re-
ceived from nearly every state in
the union. Taft smiles when the tel
egrams are shown him but he has
made no statement in regard to the
interview of yesterday.
The Taft followers believe that
Roosevelt confessed his weakness IN
New York when he sought the aid
of Taft. Taft, they are convinced,
refused to dabble in the state fight,
spurning the colonel's attempt to
Smoke him out"

Corn Root Worms.

A whitening of the young corn
plants, a failure to produce we'll
developed ears, and general re-
tarding of the growth, are indica-
tions that the roots are infested
with root worms, They are small,
slender, white grubs, that hatch
from eggs deposited by beetles. They
sometimes cut off the root system to
such an extent that the stalks can
not stand the strain, and are blown
over by even slight wind.
The most effectual preventive of
corn worms is rotation of crops.
There are the Northern and South
ern varieties of root worm The diff
ference in appearance in the two
beetles is not great. The Northern
form is plain, grass green, about
one-fifth of an inch long, and the
Southern beetle also is green, but
it is spotted with black, and is about
one-fourth of an inch long. AS far
as is known, the Northern beetle
has but one breed season, while
the Southern has two. Rotation OF
crops is not as effecutal prevent
i've for the Southern form, because
it also infests wheat, rye, millet and
other grasses, while the Northern
form does injury to corn only. How
ever, the Southern form does not dc
as much harm as the other.
Where either the plain green OF
the spotted beetles are seen on the
corn silk in the fall it is an indi
cation that the same piece Of grounC
viii be infested with the root worn

The Disc Piow.

The disc plow is not very thor
oughly understood. Although 1t is
severely criticised and many are
sceptical about its value. it has its
advantages, and in its place and
under certain circumstances it is a
profitable tool,
1t is OF great service to the farm
er whose farm is in part of the
country subject to draughts where
the soil is too dry to be plowed cas-
lily.
The disc is not at home in wet
soil. Nor should 1t be used in foul
fields which have to be well cut
and completely turned over to cut
up the grasses and weeds and thor
oughly annihilate the pests, During
wet growing time the disc plow is
of no use because it does no good
to partly cut the ground and cover
it with a little loose SOIL
Just as with other tools, a great
advantage is gained by knowing how
to use a disc plow. Some farmers
set the discs too far apart, which is
not wise because one cannot count
on a disc turning furrow more
than twelve inches across 1t is
more advisable to use more discs
and set them close together. In this
way the farmer can get his soil pull
verized better than he can In any
other way.
The disc plow is not expensive tc
buy and is not heavy to haul. The
fact that it is of no use in wei
ground is in some senses a good
thing. Some farmers will, in order
thurry on the work, plow with
the mold broad when the soil is toe
wet and unfit to be plowed.

NEWS OF THE FARM.
Saving Farm Manure.
F+++t++t+++tt*tt*+t+*+*+++

The greatest profit from farm
manure is realized when II is hauled
daily from the stables and spread
on fields properly prepared to re-
ceive it. In that way there is no
loss from teaching or heating and it
is handled cheaper in that way than
any other.
The use Of about one pound of
rock phosphate or floats per day
for each animal in the stable is a
good way to add commercial fertili-
zer to farm manure. It should be
sprinkled in the gutter in such a
way as to be thoroughly mixed. 1t
is a bad plan to use wood ashes or
lime with stable manure, The aka
line condition produced in this way
results in the loss Of ammonia which
carries off the nitrogen.
One of the most valuble maa-
chimes on the farm is the manure
spreader, just because it will handle
the manure cheaply and quickly at
the proper time. Manure may be
spread in the winter when labor is
not so valuable. Many a farmer has
been handicapped when trying to do
his spring work because he had a
large pile of manure in the barnyard
that must be disposed of first, II
does not pay to handle large bulk
of manure at one time and do II
hurriedly, because the task is poorly
done at such times.
If farmers time is worth a dol
lar day in winter, it is worth So
a day at spring seeding time. The
whole profits of the grain produc-
tion of a farm depend on getting
the seed in the ground at the prop
er time and in the right manner. A
great many farmers spend their time
during April and May in manner
which would indicate that they dc
not realize how much they are los
ing. A trip to the blacksmith shoI
in April may cost a farmer $25 OF
$50 If made at the wrong time.
A critical time in catchy climate
occurs when field is all ready fol
seed, have known a farmer tC
work for days preparing seed bed
only to have heavy, rain delay the
seeding for days or even weeks. The
fellows who get the seed in the
ground in the best possible manner
are the ones who have the chores
out Of the way, the manure all
placed where they want it and all
the spring seeding tools, including
harness and horses, in the best pos
sible condition for active operations
in the fields.
The Big Sandy news., 1910-01-28
Manure spreaders.

1t is astonishing what an immense
number of manure spreaders are
now being manufactured and sold to
farmers. 1t is a new way of hand
ling the manure problem and there
is a reason for its popularity. Ma
nure is never better than when
fresh from the stable. 1t contains
all the elements of fertility that it
ever will contain and it has another
property that is not we'll undre-
stood. When manure is scattered
evenly over the field the less guam
tity sometimes proves more valuable
than a much greater amount piled
in the old fashioned way and haul
ed out at spring cleaning-up time.
1t is suspected that bacteria ben
eficial to plant life somehow find
their way into the fields along with
the particles of manure that are dis
tributed from the spreader. At any
rate, manure spread in this way
carries a charm with it that works
wonders when the new plants begin
to grow. No man can account for
the quick and rapid growth Of yege-
tation that has been sprinkled with
suspicion of manure in any other
way because the quantity is not suf-
ficient to carry the amount of fer
tility that we have become accus-
toned to attribute to manure.
A manure spreader is worth all II
costs just to keep the premises re-
Specially clean. You want manure
in fields where plants can make use
of it, but you don't want 1t in the
barnyard where it is an offense
agains decencty.

Dipping Live Stock.

There are a number of different
kinds of stock dips. most Of which
are good If properly used. The use
of stock dips is becoming more COM
mon because farmers have better
animals and they are taking better
care of them. On every farm there
are animals that are not as thrifty
as they should be. They may be
ailing in other ways, but an unthrif-
ty animal is very likely to be trou-
bled with lice.
Very often internal remedies are
tried when an outward application
of some good stock dip is the prop
er remedy. Stock men who have
discovered the value of dipping al
most invariably continue the process,
