'The office of the minority is to
put the majority on it's good behavior,
advocating in good faith the policies
which it processes, ever ready to take
advantage of the mistakes of the ma
pority party and appeal to the country
for its vindication.

publican party has majority. of Al in

and so far in the history of this con

Jority, when the test came, to legislate
in conformity with the policies and
the platform of the republican party.
Case Is Outlined.

Los Angeles.-The body of David
Wilmot Dwyer, son of a wealthy Holly

it was case of suicide, deputies are

Speaker Smiles at Last.

When the house adjourned Speaker
Cannon, standing on the lower step of
the fight that leads to the "throne, -
shook hands with his followers as they
filed by. With a broad smile he passed
out friendly greetings 1t was sug-
gested that, as he had been practically
reelected as speaker, it would be ap'
propriate that he should tell the
country what he would do.
ooh, suppose I shall go on speak
ing and praying" he said.

For Invalids,

Beef Juice.-Take lean round steak
Heat it slightly in pan, over the fire,
then squeeze in warm lemon squeez-
er. Season with little salt. Serve
in colored claret glass, as invalids
often object to beef Juice on account
of the color.
Baked Milk.-Put the milk in a
jar, covering the opening with white
paper, and bake in a moderate oven
until thick as cream. May be taken
by the most delicate stomach.
Glycerine and Lemon Juice.-Half
and half on a piece of absorbent cot
ton is the best thing to moisten the
lips and tongue of fever parched pa
tient.
Onion Gruel.-Boil few sliced on
ions in pint of fresh milk, stirring
in a little oatmeal and pinch of salt;
boil until the onions become tender
and take at once.

Gum Going in Maine.

Doleful reports come from the
Maine woods. The spruce gum indus
try is on the decline, and the prices
for the sticky delight are on the rise.
Gum that would not have brought
more than so or 60 cents a piund a
few years ago, gum of gritty, acrid,
ill-favored sort, now sells for 81 and
$125 a pound at Bangor and other
gum centres. A few years ago the
best gum that was ever chewed, fresh
from the wind-swept gum trees of the
north, sold at rs cents a pound, and
was chewed by the fairest in the land.
Bits of Maine were in everybody's
mouth, so to speak. Maine spruce
gum ranked alongside of James G.
Blaine and Thomas B. Reed in max
ing the state famous. What Reed did
for the House, spruce gum did for the
common people-it regulated the jaw
movement People sank their teeth
into Maine spruce gum and ennobling
thoughts came perforce. 1t would be
impossible to say no wmuch of the
nations valor has found its origin in
the effort to separate working parts
of the system from Maine gum. But
it is all over and the gum is becom-
ing as scarce as great men in Maine.

Winter Dairylno.

A good many dairy farmers are pay
ing a great deal of attention to win
ter dairying. They find that they get
better prices for milk and for butter
during the winter than during the
summer months. They have more
time in winter to devote strictly to
dairy work. The calves may be
brought along to the best advantage
during the winter months, and they
are ready to make good use of the
young grass when it comes on in the
spring. Such 'dairymen allow the
herd and calves to take care OF them
selves to a certain extent during
spring seeding and summer harvest,
when their attention is fully occupied
with growing crops. 1t is another
way OF spreading the work of the
farm through the entire year.

SILK Stockings INDISPENSABLE.

Susan b. Anthony was a woman OF
simple taste in dress, but her close
friends knew OF one pretty feminine
vanity she always held to. She had a
weakness for silk stockings. Being
pressed on one occasion for an ex-
PLANTATION of what most women at one
time regarded as an unnecessary ex-
travagance. she laughingly exclaimed:
"Oh, just love EN-. They are an in
spiration. II have my silk stockings

clouds. They help me to soar away
on flights of eloquence. wouldn't be

successful palrYmen.

The most successful dairymen are
those who use thoroughbred COWS, and
who make business OF testing them
regularly with the scales and Bah
cock tester. Such cows not only give
more milk than common cows or
grades, but their offspring is valuable
The money from calves alone some
times amounts to more than the pro
fit from the milk. CT course very
much depends on the ability of the
farmer as a salesman. One man will
get four times as much for a calf as
another man would get for one equal.

knows how to show up its good quail

modest.

The palrYman,s Friend.

Alfalfa is the dairyman's friend,
surely. If the figures of D. H. Otis are
correct. He figures that a ton of al
falfa contains 220 pounds of digestible
protein, which at six cents a pound
would be worth 1920, and, if we got
four tons to the acre, we could have
a value of $3.50. OF course. for a
dairyman to realize this much from
an acre Of alfalfa, he must feed judici-
ously in proper combination with
feeds; but il he realizes only one
half Of this amount, he is getting ex-
cellent returns from his land. Wheat
bran, long and standard feed for dairy
cows, contains only 1872 pounds of di-
gestible protein in every 100 pounds.

AIahsst Known r.mp.r.tur..

Sir Andrew Noble has reached the
highest point OF temperature in ter
restrial thermometry, says Harper's
Magazine. He has accomplished this
by exploding cordite in closed vessels
with resulting pressure OF 30 tons to
the square inch. and a temperature OF
no less than $500 degrees G. Sir
William Crookes saw that one Incl
dental result of this experiment
should have been the formation OF
diamond--that is. II his calculations
we're correct. On working over the
residues Of the explosion chamber he
has recently extracted from them
small crystals that seem to be verit-
able diamonds. We see. then. that II
men cannot control the conditions
that make for large diamonds, they.
at least, understand them. 1t is, in all
likelihood, a matter of a comparative
ly short time when the diamond will
have been conquered as absolutely as
ruby.
With this final temperature Of $500
degrees c, we have reached the limit
looking back we see that every step
in temperature he has so far taken
has led him just so far along the path
to universal conquest-tne absolute
conquest which he is destined ulti-
mately to make. But in this phase
of temperature alone he still has far
to go. We have had evidence from
many sources that even in the sun,
which is by no means the hottest OF
the heavenly bodies, and which yet
possesses temperatures that transcend
anything we know on earth. the very
elements of matter lie there disin-
tegrated into simpler forms. Such
temperatures are the distant Alpine
heights ever and ever so far higher
than the Slight ascent to which we
have so tendiously arrived.

better one coming in its place, writes
c. l.. Hunt in Farm and Home.
! found another COW that has been
eating silage for over 13 years and
has been giving over 10000 pounds of
milk per year. 1t takes an 1-2 foot
string to reach around this cows bar
rel.
Cows that freshen in the fall and
are fed on silage will give one-third
more milk. When the cows freshen
in the spring 1t is almost impossible
to keep up the full flow throughout
August and September because of the
drought which cuts pasture short.
With feed so high we must look
on all sides Of the question. If we
study the problem there is no need
for saying that there is no money
IN dairying. There is nothing cheap
er or more productive of net profit in
dairy work than a combination of al
falfa and corn silage.
If you have tried alfalfa once and
failed try till you succeed. An old
colored preachers definition of per-
severance is: Firstly, take hold;
secondly, hold on; and thirdly, neb.
Der let go. We must persevere if We
would have crop of alfalfa, but 1t is
worth perservering for.

In one OF Hall Gaines visits to this

Tale of an Animal Trainer.

Animal trainers of the old days led
adventurous lives. In 1900 all London
was talking of man named Benkes,
servant to the Earl Of Essex, who had
taught his horse to count and perform
a number of feats, including mounting
to the top of ST. Paul's Cathedral
while "a number of asses," as the his
torian puts it, "brayed below" Sir
Walter Raleigh, in his history, says of
Bankes that he would have shamed
all of the enchanters Of the world; for
whatsoever was most famous among
them could never master or instruct
any beast as he did his horse" When
Bankes took his horse to Rome both
were burnt for 'witchcratt.

Railroads are Busy Looking After
Cars to Handle the Crop

The railroads in the northwest
are making preparations to move
the 1910 fruit crop, which will be
the largest ever harvested in this
section. With many acres of new
orchard in bearing, and fine crops
on the old ones, the output from
the fruit growing sections will tax
the capacity to supply refrigerator
cars. Railroad traffic officials have
been making careful surveys of the
orchards in Eastern Washington,
Oregon and Idaho with view of
sizing up the situation, and have
ordered more cars than were ever
before used in handling the crop.
Wenatchee, for example, expects
to ship $500 cars of fruit this
year at at an average value Of $500
a car, which means an output OF

FRUIT CROPS OF THE WEST fine

$2,500,000 from that thriving VAL
ley. The Yakima country, the
Hoodriver country, and other lead
ing fruit growing sections will sur
pass this output and the railroads
will be kept busy.
Traffic men declare they feel un-
der an obligation to handle the
fruit crop as expeditiously as pos
sible, for the railroads are each
year advertising widely the posi-
bilities of fruitgrowing in the
northwest, and they realize that
having once brought the settler
here, it is up to them to help him
market his product. The fruit
crop is one of the great crop move
ments which makes for railroad
prosperity and the railroad men,
knowing on what side their bread
is bu uttered, will do their best to
help the grower market his pro-
duct.
