Snobbery.

Snobbery shows itself in varied and spicuous now in the hysterical atti- tude of the sensational press and pull pit towards the Astor-Force engage
 ment. There is some disparity in the years of the couple, but it is not nearly so great as we may note daily in looking over the published lists of
 marriage licenses in almost every city of the country. Col. Astor is a di- vorced man, forbidden by the decree to marry within the state of New York. And the decree could not for bid his marriage outside that juris- diction. Therefore he will be mar ried elsewhere as is done every day
 and many times every day.
 So why do the sensational press and
 the small, sensational preachers single
 out this especial case as the subject for preachment? Col. Astor has never posed as a gentleman of high moral character, nor does the so-called New port set, to which he belongs, and which has approved this engagement, pretend to set up a standard of morals for the rest of us.
 This whole affair is as much out side of our concern as if it had originated in a tenderloin district If
 Astor had previously been regarded
 as guide for our conduct. and if we
 believed that the marriage of a di- vorced man of forty-seven to a re- spectable girl of twenty were a grevi-
 ous sin, preachers and press might properly lament the lapse.
 But they ordinarily give no atten- tion to incidents of this sort and they would not do so in this case, which
 can not be made to point a moral, but for the enormous wealth of one of
 the parties and his position in a so- ciety set which they affect to des- read can be regarded by the thought full and self contained only as a trib-
 ute to great wealth and to the abomi- nations of the Four Hundred" It is such a tribute as is offered
 at every fashionable wedding in New
 York when a mob of supposedly re- and snobbish American citizens make | it necessary that police precautions be taken.

To Our Democratic Friends.

If congress carries out the pend ing program, the next day or two will bring the final triumph for r-Arlzona $ twentv-year campaign for statehood, and we shall be in the midst or campaign for the election of state of ficers within the next few weeks.
 We feel impelled, therefore, to of fer a little free advice to those Of our democratic friends who may have charge of the democratic fire works: Don't make yourselves ridiculous by inviting the populace to witness your grief and mourning for the loss of the judiciary recall. Don't try to make the people believe that you are con- sumed with indignation at President Taft because of his veto of the re- call proposition. Save your crocodile tears.
 For all of us know that you heaved a sigh of profound relief when you found that the president had more courage than you, and that because of his courage you had been relieved or a most disagreeable situation. All of us know that the judiciary recall proposition did not emanate from the citizens of Arizona-least of all from conservative, thinking democrats but from the headquarters of the Western Federation of Miners at Den yer All of us know that, because the members of the constitutional convention were mostly moral cow ards. they accepted this proposition while at heart opposed to it. Presi- dent Taft could not have conferred a greater favor upon the democratic party of Arizona than when he as- suned all the responsibility of knock ing the judiciary recall out of the constitution.
 So let's have no hypocritical heaV- ing ef bricks at the president.

appearance, there is seen to drop, rather slowly, cloud formation close ly resembling in appearance the trunk of an elephant. When the tip of this trunk reaches the earth, the destruction begins. The column of destruction, seldom more than a few rods in diameter, revolves with great rapidity. As a rule, every object in the path of this whirling monster is destroyed, although freakish excep- tions may occur. It is pretty well established that the ds3tructive power Of "twister" is partly electrical. 9th eIwise it would be impossible to &C., coI nt satisfactorily for the effects often noted. For instance, there have Lcen cases in which tires were torn from wagon wheels and broken into two or more pieces, the pieces being cGrtorted into queer shapes, while the spckes were broken from the hubs and yet this extraordinary effect would not be wrought on all the wheels one or more wheels might be left in- tact. Similarly, harness has been torn from horses, and the feathers removed from chickens. Usually, on both sides of the cyclone" proper, there is a wide area in which the wind blows straightaway, doing more or less destruction; but the calamit-
 ous work is done by the "twister."

When the piano player first begins to practice, he spends an immense amount of energy and mental force in thinking out every move separate ly and using his will power in mak ing it; but Paderewski, through many years of practice. has made his movements so automatic that he can play every complicated compositions and still be thinking of something else. His brain and nerves have been so trained that they make light ming movements with scarcely a thought or effort of the will.
 Character building is like piano playing.
 The art of all arts is to train the mind that just as many as possible of the mental processes which are absolutely necessary to our well-be- ing shall be automatic. The great thing r is to establish right habits which will be exercised automatical- ly.
 It does not take very long to es- tablish a right habit, and. if it is encouraged, it will serve us life time.
 There are a few life habits which, if formed early and established thor oughly. will change the whole career
 If the child is taught to do every thing to a finish. to stamp superior ity upon everything before it goes out of his hands. and to be truthful and industrious, his whole life after ward will be powerfully influenced without much thought or efort of will power.
 Strong characters usually form early habits which persist through life, and which make living and ef- ficiency comparatively easy.-Orison Sweet Warden in Success Magazine

MAKING A PRIZE STEER.

Not only those who have seen the
prize winning steers at the information

be interested in the system Of feed
ing which is followed in getting one
Of these blue ribbon beeves ready for
the show ring. The Iowa State COL
lege at Ames, which fed and exhibited
Shamrock H., the grand champion
steer of the 1910 international, has
lately made public the following data
in regard to this steer and the care
which he received. Shamrock was
calved Jan. 10, 1910, his sire being
pure bred Angus bull and his dam a
high grade Angus COW. He was bought
by the agricultural college the latter
part Of April, 1910, and on May l,
when put on forced feed, weighed 348
pounds. His weights at monthly inter-
walls during the feeding period were:
June 1, 462 pounds; July /, $50; Aug.
1, 700; Sept. 1, 800; Oct. 1, 941; Nov.
l, LOGO, and Nov. 20, 1,130 pounds,
when he was shipped to Chicago.
Beginning May 1 Shamrock was put
on nurse COW, being kept in the
barn during the day and allowed the
run of Il grass lot at night. He
was fed in addition all the clover
hay he would eat and Il grain ration
consisting of three parts corn, two
parts wheat bran and one part oil
meal. This ration was continued up
to Sept. l. From this time on he
was given two nurse cows, fed green
corn Gears and stalks, clover hay and
roots, while the grain ration was
changed to boiled wheat and oats.
During the last twenty days of the
feeding period his daily ration con-
sisted of from nine to eleven pounds
of cooked feed, twenty-five pounds of
roots and five pounds Of clover hay,
besides the milk from two cows. The
excellence of the care given the ami
NAL Is shown in the fact that he did
not miss a feed from May 1 to the
close Of the feeding period. Shamrock

SAMPLE DAIRY RATIONS.

There is probably no other state agri-
cultural college in the country that has
so large Il number of pure bred dairy
cows of different breeds of large but
ter capacity as that of Missouri; hence
some of the suggestions contained in
bulletin No. A, recently issued, will be
received with interest by dairymen.
Along the line of general rules the
following are laid down: % Feed all
the roughage the cows will eat up at
all times; (2) feed one pound Of grain
per day for each pound of butter fat
produced per week or one pound Of
grain per day for each three pounds
Of milk produced daily; 80 feed all the
cows will take without gaining in
weight. Glover and alfalfa should con-
stitute part of the roughage, If pos
sible. but in case they are not to be
had their place in the bill Of fare
should be substituted by oil or cotton
seed meal and bran. Where possible
the ration should be varied with silage
and roOts-turnips, carrots or beets.
The bulletin recommends the follow
ing sample rations for COWS giving
from twenty to twenty-five pounds OF
milk daily: Ration Corn silage,
twenty-five pounds; clover hay, ten
pounds; corn, four pounds; bran, four
pounds. Ration 2-Corn silage, thirty
pounds; alfalfa or cowpea hay, ten
pounds; corn, six pounds; bran, two
pounds. Ration 3-Clover hay, TWEEN
ty pounds; corn, four to five pounds:
bran or oats, two to four pounds Ra-
ton 4-Clover hay, twenty pounds;
corn and cob meal, five to seven
pounds; gluten or cottonseed meal, two
pounds. Ration 5-Alfalfa or cowpea
hay, ten pounds; corn fodder, ten
pounds; corn, five to seven pounds;
bran, two pounds. Ration 6-Alfalfa
or cowpea hay, fifteen to twenty
pounds; corn, eight to ten pounds.

While the old fashioned practice Of
distributing manure by placing it in
piles in the field when thrown from
the wagon is fast going out of vogue,
yet 1t is still practiced in some locali-
ties. 1t has much to condemn 1t from
the standpoint Of loss Of time, and
still more because the fertilizing ele-
ments leached out by rain and melt
ing snow are very unevenly distrib-
uted and a good share virtually vast
ed. The manure spreader overcomes
this difficulty nicely, doing more effec-
tive work than is possible by the most
effective hand distribution.

CARE OF THE BROOD SOW.

The health and vigor of the little
pigs which will be coming on during
the late winter and early spring will
depend more largely upon the care
which is given the brood SOW between
now and narrowing time than upon any
other single factor. By care is meant
chiefly the bill of fare which they re-
ceive. Corn is excellent for fitting a
lard hog for market, but it comes a
long way from filing the bill as a sole
ration for the brood SOW. \ ration
which will make bone and muscle is
what is wanted, and this will contain
only part corn. If corn and oats are
the most available feeds an excellent
ration is made by mixing these two
grains, half and half and adding to
nine or ten parts of the mixture one
of tankage or oilmeal. Skimmilk and
buttermilk are excellent flesh formers,
as are also clover and alfalfa hay. In
addition to having a suitable ration,
the brood sows should have opportu-
nifty for exercise and dry and snug
yet well ventilated quarters in which
to sleep.

1t is quite possible that the runty pig
or pigs are afflicted with worms, in
which case it is just a matter of time
until they kick the bucket We saw
one of these runts not long since pre-
served in alcohol, and the sight made
it possible to realize why a pig af1lict-
ed with worms gets discouraged. The
intestines of the specimen in question
were literally a solid mass of long
stringy white worms, which not only
swarmed in the organs mentioned,
but had perforated the stomach, the
liver and kidneys. A pig in this shape
simply starves to death, saying moth
ing of great distress and pain it suf-
fers while slowly dying. If pigs be-
gin to appear scrubby, look out for
worms and give them doses of some
reliable vermicide. Better than this
is to keep before the pigs at all times
ration of cob charcoal, salt and
sulphur, which will prevent the worms
from getting a foothOld.

The season Of the farm Institutes Is
on, and the success of the meetings is
quite likely to depend upon the degree
of interest manifested by the rank and
file in the program of topics arranged.
II one isn't acquainted with the best
ways Of doing things on the farm
those that tend to reduce labor and
give cash results-it is his duty to at
tend the institute session for his own
sake. On the other hand, If one is
thoroughly posted and can learn moth
ing from other farmers who may
be in attendance he clearly has a duty
to perform in telling others of his sue
cessful methods, in which case he per-
forms a real service to his fellows.

Rarely if ever do you see father,
whether tiller of the soil, merchant or
day laborer, who has taken time from
his pressing duties to take an interest
in his boy and share in his sports who
is later called upon to give the boy
his time"-that is, virtually renounce
the responsibilities of a father toward
him. Seldom even in such cases is the
fault entirely with the parent, but
naturally as the elder he is fairly
chargeable with the larger measure OF
responsibility, and time was probably
when he failed in his duty to the boy
along the lines suggested.

If the amount of dairying done on
the place is sufficient to justify the
purchase of a separator it would seem
to have reached an importance which
would likewise make advisable the
erection of a convenient house where
the supply of cream and the separator
may be kept. 1t is sure that the COW
stable is no place for it; neither is the
corncrib nor kitchen.

The other day the writer had oppor-
tunity to CLEAN few facts from a
northern corn belt farmer who the
past season had forty acres in beets
and who realizes the amount of atten-
ton which beet patch of the size
requires. 1t is but fair to say that he
had his nerve with him when he tao
killed. so large a proposition. We found
that of this tract some land was too
low and wet to give satisfactory re-
suits, while the highest land in the
forty acres was so light and dry that
a very poor stand Of beets was the re-
suit. In spite of these drawbacks he
found on "sugaring" off after the last
ton Of beets was aboard the cars that
he had netted 5000 on the years crop,
or a net return per acre of $3.50.
While hard to determine in terms of
dollars and cents, 1t is fair to say that
the excellent filth in which the field
was left as a result of growing the
beets was of considerable value, while
1t should also be added that the beet
tops which were fed the dairy cows
caused them to nearly double in their
flow of milk after the topping season
started. Next season this same man
will select his beet land more careful
ly, will either tile or cut out the low
acres and not plant seed on land
which is too dry, and he thinks by fol-
lowing this plan that he can raise as
many beets and make just as much
money off about twenty acres. Some
points in this farmers experience may
well be taken into account by those
planning to grow beets next season
for the first time.

The machine cornhusker still seems
to be in the experimental stage-that
is, it has not developed as yet to a
point where 1t will work with entire
satisfaction under the varied weather
conditions which are likely to exist at
husking time. If the sell is dry, the
corn sound and well matured, there
is little more to be desired. On the
other hand, If wet weather prevails
at harvest time, the field is muddy,
husks are damp and cob butts soft
and spOngy the machine husker comes
a long way from being satisfactory,
and it is usually retired for the
more tedious hand method AS re-
CARDS the relative cost of husking by
the two methods the Iowa station has
compiled some figures that are inter
estlng. Figuring repairs and deprecia-
ton of 1925 machine at II per cent
and interest on investment at per
cent, the cost of machine maintenance
was $3.50 per year. The labor of
two men and boy was put at s. per
day, and at this figure the husking of
a 100 acre field which yielded at the
rate of siXty-five bushels per acre, re-
quiring eighteen days, cost 500 max
ing the total cost of machine husking
$14S.50. Husking this 6,500 bushels Of
corn at 3 cents per bushel would come
to $19I An advantage Of the ma
chine husker, aside from greater econ
Omy, was that the job could be done
In less time. A drawback noted was
that it left the leaves and husks in
bad condition for forage.
