Thousands Greeted Taft.

WASHINGTON, June 19.-The silver
wedding celebration OF the president
and Mrs. Taft, the second to be held
In the White house, came to an end
tonight with the reception on the
White house lawn.
Invitations had been sent to close
to l 1900 persons aud while the official
count OF those who shook hands with
the president was not given out, it is
estimated that at least 5000 persons
were present.
Probably v in the history of the
nation, has such q function been held
in Washington. The diplomatic corps,
the United States supreme court, the
senate and the house of representa-.
tives, the departments Of the govern.
ment, the men who are high in the po-
litical affairs af the country, the
army, the navy and almost every walk
of life were represented.

Alfalfa Meal,

Alfalfa meal is nearly equal to
bran in it's nutritive value, and can
be bought where it is grown for
so much less, that there has been q
good field for capital in reducing it to
meal and shipping It in sacks to Sec
tions where it 10 not grown.
Coincident with the development of
this trade have come numerous inqui.
ries "a to whether it will pay . farmer
who grows alfalfa to cut or grind the
hay for feeding on his own place, or
whether 1t will pay him to haul his
hay to 9 nearby mill and have It
ground.
In response to these inquiries the
Colorado Agricultural college has
conducted experiments with cut or
chopped hay for a number OF years,
and is o entering upon q series OF
experiments with ground hay.
These experiments are being carried
on with steers, lambs and shoats and
the object is to find whether there IL
enough saving in nutritive material
in the meal, or enough additional
gain made by the animals consuming
1t to more than pay the cost of grind
ing the hay.

Vote Swapping Killed.

Wisconsin has killed the pernicious
practice of vote swapping by making
it a felony, punishable with fine and
imprisonment, for a member of either
house of its legislature to indulge in
the old.time practice. And the penalty
is so severe, one to three years in the
%penitentiary, with a fine of from $500
to 81, 900 for good measure, that there
Is little show for any future members
to indulge in the log.rolling schemes
Of the past in securing legislation.
If a like measure might be put
through congress then would the
dangerous practice Of ''tickle.me-and
I-will-tickle.you" be eliminated from
federal enactments. 1t is said by those
in position to know that II this cow.
ardly practice might be done away
with in congress the appropri atoms
could be cut down nearly SO per cent
and no harm done.

Wool Report Not Complete.

WASHINGTON, June 20.-In a spe-
cial message to the house of represen-
tatives today, President Taft stated
that the tariff bureau would not be
ready to submit a comprehensive re-
port on wooden and cotton schedules
of the tariff law until December next.
The presidents message was called
out by a house resolution requesting
him to transmit at once all of the in.
formation procured by the tariff board
relating to wool and the manufacture
of wool. Mr.. Taft included in his mes.
sage a statement from the tariff board
as to the status of its inquiry and
also q statement by a committee of
the national tariff commission associa-
ton which recently conducted an in.
vestig alton Of the methods of the tar.
if board. This report was highly
commend atory of the boards work.

Montana Senator Opposes Measure
That Affects Farm Products.
WASHINGTON, June 2O.-Republican
opposition to the Can nadia reciprocity
bill in the senate has reached the stage
Of open revolt. Led by Senator Dix.
on of Montana, who failed in his de.
mand for an explain alton or q speech
in favor OF the bill from some OF the
republican leaders who championed
the measure. the republican members
declared that II the bill passed many
republicans would join the democra ats
in an attempt to lower the duties on
all manufactured products.
"When the corner stone is pulled
out of the system of protective tariff"
said Senator Dixon. "when the far.
mer's products are thrown into q free
market, his purchases continue to be
protected, there are many good pro.
tectionists in the republican ranks
here who will vote to have the duties
pulled down on steel and iron, chemi.
Gals, cotton and many other things"
Other northwestern republicans sig
niied by their approval of the Mon.
tana senator's words that the the pas
sage of the reciprocity bill, which, it
is admitted, will have a majority in
the senate, will be attended with q
fight which threatens to throw open
the whole tariff subject.

FARM LIFE MADE EASIER.

AT the rate farm machinery is being
turned out and put to use, it will not
be long before the life of the farmer
will be easier that that of the coupon
clipper, says the Red Lodge Picket.
The fail is displaced by the thresh-
ing machine; the horse power to run
that machine is discarded and in its
stead the gasoline engine is used. The
scythe has been RELOCATED to make way
for the moving machine, the reaper
and the binder. The hand pump Is in
the scrap heap and the gasoline pump
does the work. Instead Of bending
over q killing dashboard, the house.

CINE runs the patent washer; the engine

The boy no longer turns the grind.
stone: instead the gasoline engine
turns the stone; it also runs the ice
cream freezer, and feed chopper, the
milk separator, the sewing machine
and the dough mixer. The machine
does away with the old system Of
hand milking, and the shearing is
done by machinery. The lreless
cooker makes it possible for the
women of the house to make afternoon
calls among the neighbors and the
gasoline tank buried in the backyard
supplies light, thus putting aside the
old oil lamp with its attendant In.
c~onveniences and danger. The patent
clippers relieve the stable boy of a
lot of hard work with the scissors.
The traction engine plows more
ground in q day than the hand pillow
does in days. The traction engine
draws great loads while the horse
trots gayly before the family buggy
The automobile brings the family to
town in q jify besides providing
pleasures In many other ways not OBJ

to vanish.
We hope the day is not far distan
when instead OF having to get out O
