EnsiIage.

Corn ensilage possesses numerous
advantages for early forage, as it is
at hand many times when it would be
difficult to get spring crops available
for early feeding. An acre of corn
will sproduce more succulent food in
the form of ensilage than an acre
of any other kind Of forage. The feed

that it is useless to discuss its merits.

Women are coming into their own
every day on the farm. Time was
when labor-saving devices were
thought of only in connection with
farm work. But that is changing.
Woman's work at the best is hard, but
is rendered much easier by the en-
ployment Of handy devices which cost
but little.

Land plaster of gypsum is sulphate
of lime. Plaster was formerly used
largely on clover, but now in many
sections of the country it is rarely
used except in stables or, in manure
piles. This is because it has the
power to hold the ammonia by max
ing a chemical change, which holds
the ammonia or part of it as solid.
In the soil plaster has some effect in
breaking up combinations Of potash,
so they are available as plant food.

REPUBLICAN MISSOURI.
(St. Louis Globe.Democrat

wv. bouio
State Chairman Morris refers TO a
fact OF notable interest when he says
that This election proves conclusive
ly that We have sufficient number
OF Republicans to carry the State. All
that is necessary is for all to get busy
at the same time" There are more
Republicans than Democrats in this
State, and future campaigns will en-.
phasize the lead. The Bourbon De.
mocracy lost its hold on the State Is
years ago. In 1894, an off year, the
Republicans carried Missouri by a few
thousands. but there was separate
Populist vote of over 10000.
Two years later, in 1896. the Demo
Gratis and Populists fused under
Bryan's leadership, and the so.called
Democratic vote In Missouri reached
its highest point. 1t fell off in 1900,
and In 1904, when Parker was, the
nominee and the Populist element
drew off. slumped to less than 100000
The Republicans carried the. State
that year by $4,000. They won II
again In 1908, though Bryan was the
Democratic nominee. Now, In spite
Of what is termed general Democrat
ic tidal wave, but In reality Is, a time
Of ill.advlsed Republican disaffection
the Republicans Of Missouri again
have popular majority. *
! At the last three elections in Mis-
souri, the Republicans have had a ma
jority. They are justified in claiming
now that the State is in the Republi
can column, and that the Republicans
Will hold 1t hereafter when they are
united and cast full vote.

PASSING OF THE QUEUE.

Cincinnati Enquirer.)

Even 10 years ago. one would have
as soon expected to hear that the
Pope had become ,Mohammedan as
that the Chinese would abandon their
queues, without which they will hard
" seem to be Cinnamon at all. Notn.
Ing that could happen, no opening OF
the country to railroads, or prospec.
tive adoption Of a constitution, could
so sIgnally testify TO the tremendous
revolution which has already taken
place in the Flowery Kingdom. While
there Is doubt whether the reported
edict to Chinese officials abroad has rs
yet been issued to the effect that
henceforth they are to wear their hair
like the people of the governments to
which they are accredited, 1t is q fact
that queues are being abandoned, and
1t Is anticipated that no very long time
will elapse before the change becomes
universal, both at home and abroad
and the pigtail will be known no more.
1t and crippled feet for women, both
badges OF arrested development, are
disappearing together. The queue es'
pecially has been chung to with such
tenacity and regarded as something
so sacred and inviolable that giving II
up will mean complete transforms
ton Of the Chinese people. Once that
is done they will be ready for, any
thing. No doubt they will find 1t mucl
more convenient to be without them
but 1t is pity. in way, to have Their
go. 1t is another step such as the
Japanese took in the direction OF same
ness Of ideas and appearance, wher
they gave, up their national dress, ant
II the movement is kept up it will de
stroy all picturesqueness and variety
and make all mankind look and &C

I People are altogether too prone to
criticise preachers and other active
church workers, grangers and mem,
bers.of other orders for their so-called
political activity"
All of these as individuals have as
much right to be active politically as
other people.
In fact, 1t is their patriotic duty to
be active and the only reason for the
objectionit to their activity is. that they
interfere with the plans and schemes
