CONFER IN PRIVATE
ROOSEVELT AND TAFT HAVE
LONG TALK At LATTER'S
SUMNER HOME.
ARE SEPARATED is MONTHS
Meeting Between Present and Former
Executives characterized by Old
Time cordiaIity-Subject of Their
Discussion Remains a Secret.

Beverly. Mass.-A smile spread over
the face of President Taft Thursday
afternoon as he hurriedly left his work
in the library of the Burgess Point
cottage and rushed to the veranda
when the Lodge limousine drove up.
the "honk honk" of which was an
nouncing the arrival of former Presi-
dent Roosevelt.
They met just outside the door and
simultaneously Taft clapped hand on
the Roosevelt shoulder as Roosevelt
seized the presidents hand in strong
grip.
MIR. President" exclaimed the one;
and Theodore" cried the other.
by George" continued Roosevelt,
''this is fine. I am mighty glad to see
you, Mr.. President"
Thus, after a separation of sixteen
months, Taft and Roosevelt met again,
at the Taft cottage here in Beverly,
with only Senator Lodge and Secre-
tary Norton present, all the rest of
the world being barred out.
Those who witnessed the meeting
say it was characterized by all the
old-time cordially of relations be-
tween the two-that there was the
best of feeling displayed-and that
the hearty bursts Of laughter that pro-
ceeded first from the president and
then from Roosevelt as they sat on
the veranda and chatted for two hours
and a half, was strongly reminiscent
of the old White House days.
AS to the talk between them-it
covered a wide range of topics and
there was a period when the president
and Roosevelt drew aside from the rest
of the party and conversed in low
tones. What was said must remain a
secret, however, between them, for
Taft declined to make any statement
after the colonel had departed and
Roosevelt would say only that he had
had a most delightful time.

Changing Potatoes to Eggs.

Surplus potatoes are being fed out
all sorts of ways wherever the prices
are too low for shipment. Perhaps
the best profits are obtained from po-
tatoes that were boiled and fed to the
laying flock of poultry. 1t is more
work to prepare them, for the potatoes
must be cooked soft and mashed with
cornmeal and bran. The results is
one of the best Of feeds for egg pro-
duction, especially for fowls that do
not have free range. One very impor-
tant item is the addition of about
one-eighth in bulk of meat scraps
that is, unless the fowls have free
range-in which case they will find a
good many insects at this time Of year
and will not need SO large proper
ton of meat in their feed.

MANY DIE IN CLOUDBURST
Three Kentucky Counties Are Swept
by Storm and Flood-Deaths
May Reach Forty.

Saylersville, Ky.-Fifteen people
are known to be dead, fifteen addition
al are reported as having died and
of a cloudburst in Magoffin, Floyd
and Knott counties, KY, late Tuesday.
Twelve bodies of the known dead
have been secured by the workmen in
Saylersville and the towns affected by
the terrible cloudburst. When late
reports came in from sections lying
near Saylersville, it was estimated
by the people here that fully forty
have been killed in the floods and that
forty are missing from their homes.
Saylersville is the county seat Of
Magoffin county which is in eastern
Kentucky. There are no railroads
running to the town and little else
than farming Is done in this vicinity.
Floyd and Knott counties lie adjacent
to this county and have several small
towns lying directly on the Licking
river and large creeks which were af-
fected greatly by the downpour. 1t
has been raining in this section for
three days and the rivers and streams
were all full of water when the down
pour from the cloudburst broke over
this section. Instantly many houses
in this section were carried from their
foundations and were swept into the
streams.
Many of the people in these three
counties are homeless. The property
damage is estimated to be fully $780,
900 and the losses in stocks and grains

PROPER SHELTER FOR SWINE
Few Breeders Place Enough Impor-
tance Upon Shade and Water
for Animals in Summer.
By w. M. KELLY.)

Few of us place enough Importance
upon the shade and water that are
supplied the pigs and breeding swine
during the summer weather. The pig
does not perspire and for that reason
requires a pool of water in which to
reduce his temperature when the
weather is extremely warm. Then
again, hogs that are being fed ra-
ton of heat producing foods will re-
quire considerable water to properly
dilute the digestive fluids and their
digestive system is greatly benefited
by the thorough flushing out and car
rying away of the waste material.
The rusty, scaly appearance of hogs
that are watered but once a day is
more than a hint that something is
wrong
All hogs, especially those that are
being kept on pasture and forage
crops during the summer, should be
provided with an abundance of shade
during the extremely hot days. The
hogs will lie in the shade when the
sun is hot and do their grazing during
the morning and evening hours.

IMPORTANCE OF DAIRY FARM
BY Selection Of Best Mixers Present
High Standard of Animals
Brought About.

Breed type has been the result of
feeding, environment and selection for
definite purpose. Thus, by the selec-
ton of the best mixers and by proper
feeding and suitable surroundings 1t
has been possible to bring to their
present high state of development the
different breeds of dairy cattle. While
they are apparently fixed in type and
characteristics, there is nothing stable
without the ever-guiding hand of man,
writes G. l.. Richards in Indiana Farm
er. The power of atavism, that ever
present tendency to revert to some re-
mote ancestral trait, is n,Sole to crop
out at any time and If animals were
left to themselves retrogression would
be fast and furious. The good work
of generations of progressive breed
ers would quickly be lost.
There is no breed of animals that
will go on improving without the con-
slant assistance of the directing mind
of man. Thus, adI@itting that all i'm
provement and productiveness is IA
artificial condition brought about by
years of patient work and study, does
it not stand to reason that in breed
where these traits have been the sole
object of the originators whose work
has been carried on by generation
after generation of successful breed
ers, that the tendency to produce ami
mails of the profitable type is much
more firmly fixed and the power to
transmit these qualities is greater in
the pure-bred than in the common or
grade?
After all these years of breeding for
a purpose are not such animals less
liable to reversion and are not the
possibilities for a larger per cent. OF
productive animals greater than
among the grades? Therefore, in
choosing a sire for your dairy herd
select one with the longest list of
producing ancestry in his pedigree.
Because an animal is pure bred and
registered does not qualify him as
sire; see that he comes of a family
that has accomplished things as pro-
ducers.

La TOILETTE SEES ROOSEVELT
SENATOR LEAVES COLONEL IN
JUB1LANT MOOD.
Declares Former President Is Great.
est American Living and Is in
Fighting Trim.

Oyster Bay.-Robert NJ. La Toilette,
United States senator from Wiscon-
sin. spent two hours talking politics
with Theodore Roosevelt. He left
Oyster Bay wearing broad smile.
Senator LaFollette arrived with G.
E. Roe. a New York lawyer, who was
formerly his law partner. Colonel
Roosevelt's chauffeur was waiting for
them. and whisked them away to Sag
amore Hill. The senator had pulled
his hat down over his eyes and tried
to escape unseen. But he was caught
fairly at it by group of newspaper
men. They tackled him on suspicion,
although nobody recognized him, for
his hat hid his famous pompadour.
Not word" he said I'm going
t. Sycamore Hill, but l don't want a
word said about it,
When he returned, just in time to
catch train for New York. he was
smiling his most expansive, persuasive
smile. Its all right, boys, he cried
Jovially. THE colonel says l may talk
with you"
Did we talk politics?" he replied
to the first question. I'VE did.
I'VE talked Of the legislation of the
present session of congress, from the
attitude of those members of the Re-
publican party whom the newspapers
are pleased to call insurgents"
Can you go into details?''
mo; l prefer that they come from
Sycamore Hill. am very much pleased
with the result Of my visit with
Colonel Roosevelt. very much pleased,
indeed"
The senator paused for a moment
Suddenly the smile left his face for
the first time and he said impressively:
Il want to tell you that Colonel
Roosevelt is the great living Ameri-
can, and" he added slowly and sig
nificantly, 'he is in fighting trim"

ECONOMY IN WORKING OXEN.
After Being Used on Farm for Four
or Five Years Are Sold at
Big Profit.

Oxen differ essentially from horses
in their digestive organs. The horse
has but one stomach and thar g very
small one, while the OK has four. and
one of these is capable of carrying a
large quantity of food that the OK can
bring up and chew over again when
at rest, says Baltimore American. For
this reason an OK can work more
hours than a horse without injury. An
OK will keep in good order on less
grain than a horse, but they require
more rough food. An OK should be
given all the food it will digest at
each meal, but there should be nc
waste. Oxen cannot stand as much
heat as horses or mules when at hard
labor. Work them earlier in the
morning and later in the evening and
give rest in the shade the hottest
part of the day.
In New England oxen are largely
used for heavy work, such as lumber
ing, hauling stone from the quarries,
and in clearing rough land. The small
breeds, such as Devons, Jerseys and
Ayrshires, are active and fast walk
ers; these are mostly used for farm
work. The Durhams, Herefords and
Holsteins are larger and slower in &C
ton and are preferred for heavy, slow
hauling.
The New Hampshire experiment
station some years ago kept an &C
count of the cost of feeding horse
that weighed 1900 pounds, for year,
he being kept at moderately hard
work. The actual cost was $74.32.
The cost of shoeing was $15, and re-
pairs to harness, cleaning and oiling,
was put down at $40, making the total
yearly cost $9932. The estimated cost
of feed and care of a working OK for
one year was $50. The station recon-
mended working for three or four
years, feeding well and giving good
treatment; then fatten for beef,
feed and summer pasture should raise
one yoke of thrifty steers to take the
place of the yoke sold for beef. By
this method a large portion of the
farm work can be done at the least
cost for feed and labor.
Some forty years ago nearly all the
large farmers of Baltimore county
had one or more yokes, the Devon OK
being the favorite. Oxen were used
for all kinds of farm work, such as
hauling stone, manure, lime, hay and
grain to market, as we'll as doing most
of the blowing and narrowing. Owing
to the high prices for horses and
mules and the cost Of grain the OK
will no doubt come into greater use,
as their many good parts are fully
known. A horse when old Is hard to
sell at any price; an OK after work
ing four or FIVE years can be fattened
and sold for the cost of his keep and
often times for considerably more.

TRIUMPH FOR AMERICANS
German Campaign of SANDER Against
the Deutsche Vacuum Oil
Company Fails.

Berlfn.-The long and venomous
campaign waged by German newspa-
pers and rival industrial interests
of the Standard Oil company-the
Deutsche Vacuum Oil company-has
just been brought to a victorious end
for the Americans involved.
A well-known Hamburg newspaper
for months printed such series Of
attacks on the American graft meth
DDS" alleged to have been practised
by the vacuum company in the con-
duct Of its German business that the
public prosecutor of Hamburg felt
con jtrained to make an official inves-
t1gation with view to eventual in
dictments. The prosecutor has now
concluded his investigation, especially
or the work Of E. L. Quarles, Ameri-
can manager Of the German COM
pany's sales department. and an
nounces that no necessity exists for
pursuing the inquiry further.
No evidence Of anything warranting
prosecution was found against Mr..
Quarles, and the costs of the entire in
CURRY will be borne by the state.
The result of the investigation con-
stitutes notable triumph for Amer
lean interests in Germany.
1t is not the first time that Germans,
finding themselves unable to compete
with Americans on ordinary terms,
have resorted to SANDER.

SENATOR ]. ". DANIEL DEAD
OLDEST DEMOCRAT IN SENATE
DIES AT LYNCHBURG.
Has Third ParaIytic Stroke, but Cause
of Death Was Cerebral
Hemorrhage.

Lynchburg, Va. John w. Dan
lei, senior senator from Virginia, died
at the Lynchburg sanitarium Wednes-
day night, his death being due to a
recurrence of paralysis. The immedi-
ate cause of his death was cerebral
hemOrrhage.
This was Senator Daniels third
paralytic stroke. He suffered the first
last fall while in Philadelphia and the
second in Daytona, Fla, during The
winter, having gone to Florida to re-
cuperate. He had not been in Wash
ington for several months. Senator
Daniel was sixty-seven years old.
With Senator Daniel were his wife
and his son, Edward M. Daniel, and
his daughter, Mrs. Fred Harper, whose
husband, also here, is Senator Daniels
law partner.
The death of Senator John Warwick
Daniel removes the oldest of the
Democratic senators in point of serv-
ice Of the entire list he was the only
one who could be said to belong to
the old regime. And, as he was the
Oldest in service, he was one Of the
most conspicuous in popular favor.
New Orleans.-Samuel Douglas Nc
Emery, United States senator from
Louisiana, suddenly expired at his
home here Tuesday from an attack Of
acute indigestion.
The senator arrived here Monday
from Washington. He was seventy
three years old, and death was super
induced by old age.
The senator Is survived by his wife,
who was before marriage Miss Eliza
beth Phillips of Monroe. Pa; his
daughter, Mrs. Warren B. Parker, and
his two sons, Charles P. McEnery and
DR. Douglas w. McEnery of Wash
ington.
IN all probability Gov. Jared Y.
Sanders will be chosen by the Louis
lana legislature, now in session. as
Senator McEnery's successor. 1t is
thought that the leading figures in
state politics have figured upon the
aged senator's passing for some time,
but it was not anticipated exactly at
this juncture.

BETTER POULTRY FOR FARM
Flock Can Be Wonderfully Improved
by Introducing Male of Utility
Strain.

Some people are complaining OF
poor matches and weak chicks, says
the Poultry Journal Such results in
dictate that the methods are at fault
or the stock run down in vitality. The
management during the present year
is, in most cases, not alone at fault.
Probably the trouble extends over
several seasons. The mere introduc-
ton of a new rooster or a setting OF
eggs from a neighbor may have done
no good, but rather harm, because Of
the neighbours bad or worse prac-
tises. Therefore, it Is usually best to
bring in new blood from different To-
cality.
At this season, while the results of
the spring Matching are clearly in
mind, the decision should be made as
to the best means of improving the
flock 1t is not yet too late to pur-
chase eggs of the American and Medi-
terranean classes Of fowls for hatch
ing, provided the chicks will receive
good care. But probably better way
would be to use all the cocks and
cockerels and undesirable hens and
pullets for the table and to introduce
the best obtainable male Of a. utility
strain next autumn. This bird should
be the only male allowed on the place,
and should be mated to none but best
layers. By careful line breeding for
two or three years, and by eliminating
the drone hens, the vigor and egg-pro-
ducing character of the flock can be
wond erfully improved at very small
initial outlay Now is good time to

A good rotation is corn, grain clio

were obtained by applying this little
and often. Where land remains in
