So far David A. Ball Is the only av-
owed candidate for the Democratic
for governor. Having received major
ity OF honest Democratic votes at the
primary election in 1908 he seems
sure Of getting them again in 1912,
and is quite sure that he cannot be
cheated in 1912 as he was in 1908 be-
cause elections are now held under
safer auspices and the crooks and trick
sters who prevented his nomination in
1908 nave been put out of business

The Democratic State Committee
ordered the defeated Democratic can
didates for Supreme Judge and Super
ip,endent of Schools to begin contest
proceedings against their elected Re-
publican opponents and appointed
committee to raise the money with
which to pay their lawyers and their ex-
pense bills. These lawyers charged all
kinds of fraud in the election in St.
Louis and in St. Louis county and had
the Supreme Court order recount Of
ballots and appointed special COM
missioner to take testimony. After
months of fruitless effort to discover
fr,ud of any kind in the voting or in
the counting OF ballots, and with moth
ing but probable" Developments to
about demand has been made by the
Democratic lawyers for $50, 900 more
With which to proceed with the ardu-
Gus task of proving one or two of their
allegations and showing the Supreme
Court some legal technicalities, such
as the failure of honest election judges
to comply with mintue spefications of
election laws.
At the late meeting of the Demo
craric State Committee it became ev-
ident that the Committeeman are weary
Of the whole business and drop it if a
way ould be found to let 60 of it
without injury to their party.
The Republican Committee never
f1inched or faltered in its duty to the
noble men who accepted nomination
on the Republican ticket and were el-
ected by the people. No issue raised
by the Demo stats has been evaded.
The expense of watching and assisting
the recount Of ballots in St. Louis was
paid promptly, and able lawyers have
been encouraged to take up the legal
questions involved in the contest pro-
ceedings and to investigate them tho
u,oughly. The Committee has been
compelled to borrow money on account
Ct the contest, although Republican
dounty committees have been respon-
sive to the call for financial assistance.
The committee stands ready to see
the suits properly pressed to the end
but not ready to submit to any trifling
With them or needless delay. The
Supreme Court has been asked by the
contestants to extend the time for fur
ther efforts to prove their contentious,
shongh they have wasted months of
time and have nothing to report but
the recount of St. Louis and St. Louis
county ballots-a result very unfavorable
to them. Of course the Republican

A great many men had secured seed
of cowpeas, intending to SOW them
after an oat crop was removed or after
wheat, or in the corn. The weather
in most all sections of the state has
been against favorable prospects as
some fields will not do to SOW, as there
has been practically no rain at all, and
the seed would not sprout if sown.
Where an oat field has been put in
good condition for that crop and the
oats cut for hay and the ground at
once disked, it should be in fine con-
dition for planting as soon as rain
comes. To plant in dry dirt the seed
might get enough moisture to start,
but not enough to keep the plant
growing. Then should rain come
and crust the surface before the plants
came through the ground, it might
become so hard that the plants would
fail to get through. If the ground is
in reasonable condition the best time
will be as soon after a rain as the
ground will do to work. .4
Good results can be secured in a |
soil of fair quality and reasonable
weather by sowing as late as the
middle of July. In the event that the
seed can not be used, measures will
have to be taken to keep the weevel
from destroying them if it is desired to
keep the seed till next season.
A few weevil may be found at work |
at the present time and they will |
multiply rapidly if nothing is done.
The seed should be put in barrels or
a bin or boxes or anything that is ra-
ther closely put together. On top of
the seed should be placed plate con-
tanning some bi-sulphide of carbon.
A heavy gas will pass from it that
will sink into the spaces among the
seed and as this gas is deadly poison
it vii kill all insect life. It is to be
tnat this gas is poisonous
and care should be used. It is also
as inflammable as gasoline. If the
receptacle holding the seed is in the
open cover should be paced above
the fluid that will prevent the gas from
escaping into the air. This done two
or three times during summer and
early fall will save the seed from these
pests. The bi-suphide is cheap. AS
soon as the gas has evaporated from
the seed it is safe to feed as the poison
escapes with the gas, or it is the gas
that is poison and when it has ecaped
no danger can follow.
In the event that the peas can not
be used, it would seem wise to make
provision for growing something as
feed is certain to be scarce. Some
times catch crop of sorghum or mil
let can be made to produce an abun-
dance of feed, especially sorghum.
Rather rich ground will be best, espe-
cially if the weather remains dry.
Where it can be done at all winter
pasture should be provided. Rye is
one of the best things we have for this.
It often makes much fall and winter
pasture and as sprng pasture it stands
first of any Of the grasses. Where it is
wanted for pasture it should be sown
thicker than where it is intended only.
Tor seed crop. It may be sown in
the latter part of August if the weather
conditions at that time are favorable.
Where it is sown this early it should
be turned under In the spring. as fhA

Dismiss the coatsst Cases.

A motion was filed last week in the
Supreme Court to dismiss the contest
proceedings of CAN'T, Timmonds and
Gass against Brown, Kennish and Evans
because the contestants have failed
properly to prosecute their suits, have
shown lack of good faith, have mere
ly fished for whatever they might catch
to sustain their charges, and because
the long drawn out proceedings are
depriving their elected Republican
opponents Of their salaries and other
wise hindering public interests. The
contestants asked in May prolonga-
ton OF the time allotted for the report
OF the special commissioner appointed
to take their evidence till August.
Now they want the court to wait until
October for report. So far they have
not profiered anything whatever to the
commissioner, nor has held a single
hearing or examined a single witness.
The suits were entered in December
and the commissioner was appointed
soon thereafter. Instead Of beginning
at once the taking Of testimony con-
cerning the election Of Supreme Jud-
ges and Superintendent Of schools the
attorneys for the contestants encour-
aged contest proceedings in St. Louis
on the part Of defeated candidates for
Congress and the Legislature, hoping
thereby to find some evidence of fraud
or some technical objections 70 be asei
in state contests. They were disa-
pointed In that procedure and were
subsequently disappointed in the re-
count of ballots, ordered by the Court.
Now they have nothing to present to

AS CHILDREN DO
Wilbur D. Nesbit.

Wilbur D. Nesbit.
Sometimes, when night Is creeping down
And all the world about is dim,
And he must go to Seepytown,
You lie down at the side of him
And whisper soothing little things
In childish words, such as you frame
To tell the sound Of beetle wings
And how the FREELY gets its fame.
And soon the world grows darker yet.
And to the little fellows eyes
Strange, hidden dangers now beset
The The shadcw places Ia the skies; s7-4----
But you speak low and comforting
And tell him none of them are there,
That near him is not anything
But what is good and kind and fair
Then trembling come his little hands
Out through the dark and find your face,
AS though by touch he understands
That he is In the safest place;
And so with fingers on your cheek
He sghs contentedly to sleep
And you, you may not even speak,
So very, very still you keep
Sometime you, as little child,
Shall fare into an unknown night
And shall yearn for the stars that smiled
With all their soothing, drowsy light;
And you, as little children DO,
May grope out through the darks of space
And sigh in peace to sleep, when you
At last have touched your Fathers face

PRACTICE soILING FOR cows
Tried at New Jersey Experiment. eta.
tlon, Where Three Animals Kept
on Feed From One Acre.

The Jersey experiment station prac.
tees soiling altogether for their cows.
They SOW rye, which comes on first in
the spring. With the rye hairy vetch
IS seeded and the two make splendid
feed, besides the vetch enriches the
land. The next crop is wheat, which
also has vetch seeded with It. Fol-
lowing the wheat are oats and Canada
held peas, and again the peas not only
help to balance up the oats, but at the
same time improve the land, being q
legume. Following the cutting Of the
rye, cowpeas and soy beans. fodder
corn. etc., are planted. These can be
harvested In time to SOW the ground
down to the same crops for next year,
and later on the silo Is opened. Pro-
lessor Minkler stated that he had been
able to keep three cows during the
summer on the feed grown ON one acre
OF ground. Could this method not be
practicable on many farms? Suppose
an acre or two Is fenced of in the
COW pasture and seeded to oats and
Canada field peas in March. this crop
cut of and fed in June, the first Of
July the ground sown to cowpeas and
these harvested in September, and the
ground seeded to rye and hairy
vetch. In this way the land would not
become exhausted very rapidly. The
roots and stubble would almost or
quite furnish the humus content the
legumes the nitrogen, ard by adding
a little potash and phosphorus one
should grow crops for years on the
same ground.

MAKING INVESTMENT IN FEED
Man With New Viewpoint May Make
200 Per Cent. Per Annum
Interest,

To look upon the buying of millfeed
as an investment rather than an ex-
pense may change dairyman from a
miser into a business man. For, while
the short-sighted individual may feed
one dollars worth of concentrates per
month to good COW and realize there
for $50, the man with the new view
point may. by increasing to 81 per
month, get return of IS. He has gone
the same number of times to the grain
bin and silo, MIXED the same number
of times, and cleaned the stable the
same number Of times, yet the simple
investment of SO has at the end of one
month earned 50 cents interest. II he
turns this So over again and again as
a business merchant does, at the end
of six months the Investment has been
doubled. In other words, it has made
200 per cent. per annum interest.
