FARM NOTES.

silage is rapidly becoming factor
in feeding operations.
Plan to have plenty Of shade about
your place next year.
Rotation Is very necessary to the
growing of profitable crops
If you have any, metal roofs. 1t is
policy to ground them. 1t can be done
at very slight expense.
The storage Of celery on large
scale Is only practicable BY the aid
Of special houses for the purpose
On most farms, several acres of
ground might be saved by better ar.
rangement of the fields and fences.
Always clean out the yards before
winter begins. II Is far easier to
keep them In condition when this is
done.
A Frenchman has invented ma
chine for moving weeds and other un-
der water growths In streams and
lakes.
Hundreds OF farmers are hogging
down rye. Between rye and corn we
have two mighty good crops to turn
the hogs into.
An aftermath of grass In a corn
field is not bad thing for the field.
especially where all the fodder growth
is in the shock
Alfalfa and clover hay cut when
II is greenest and cured In the cock
under caps will help wonderfully to
keep the milk yellow
Don't forget to plow the field where
the hopper has laid It's eggs. That
field, II left undisturbed. will hatch
out trouble next year.
The dog question Is receiving
great deal Of attention in many farm
publications. Many dogs are valu-
able while many more are not.
Brick and cement are about as
cheap as lumber. and last many times
as long. 1t is certainly waste to
use much wood for floors or stills.
From now on, silage will have to
be reckoned with In fattening opera
tions, and the sooner you get in the
band wagon the better of you will
be.

Rive as a Handy Crop.

AS clover crop, rye seems to tit
into the conditions found in New Eng
land better than almost anything else
and is the one we have most frequent
ly employed, although we prefer
clover where circumstances permit.
Glover, however, must be planted be-
fore the middle OF August In order to
get a good start before cold weather,
and as many Of our fields are not
ready for cover crop until Septem-
ber or later, It's use in this respect is
limited. Ensilage corn, soy beans and
late potatoes are harvested during
September in ample time to get in rye.
Cabbage and most root crops occupy
the ground too late for even rye.

A worId.Famous Cow.

DeKol Queen La Polka II produced
124 pounds of milk in a single day
S4s.s in seven days and 1876 in 80
days. Her record in milk yields for
one, seven and 80 days, is said to beat
that of any other COW In the world,
as does her 30-day butter test--145.13
pounds.
This wonderful cow consumes no
more feed than scrub that will not
produce enough milk and butter to
pay for what she eats. and In that
fact lies the great advantage OF own
ing well-bred cattle Of large produc-
ing qualities. Queen Polka is owned
by Clayton Sisson. Of Sherburne,

The farmer who owns a farm
is the particular person who is
fixed. Banks may fail and facto-
ries close, workmen strike and
mines suspend, merchants fail
and towns burn, times may be
panicky and even crops may be
short but the farmer who owns
his acres will get along. He will
live in comfort and quiet, with
plenty to eat, drink and wear.
He is the most independent mar
on earth. Yet there are lots Of
them who do not appreciate then
situation.

come. And a better nor more

law practice and entered the
campaign. He was elected by
3, 900 majority.
In April, 1901, Mr.. Folk begar
an investigation into election
frauds and within a few weeks
he had laid bare a condition OF
official corruption that startled
the city. He had been elected on
the Democratic ticket, but in pro-
scouting the boodlers who held
the city by the municipal throat
he spared none. The bosses
demonstrated.
He replied (and the remark
later was quoted all over the
country and used in every bribery
prosecution) lone who violates
the law is not Democrat, he is
not a Republican, he is a crimi-
nall"
The friends of the accused urg-
ed that the very men under indict-
ment had worked for him (Folk)
and even voted for him in some
cases. He answered. "Then
they made a mistake if they su-
posed | would violate my oath of
office. They will be prosecuted
the same as any one else.
And they were. Seven of the
election repeaters were convict
ed and sent to the penltentiary
the gangsters were shown that
Joseph w. Folk was Circuit At
torney.
The most corrupt and power
full gang of public plunCerers had
held way in ST. Louis for years.
So strongly were they entrench-
ed, laws were bought and sold
almost without attempt at con-
cealment let alone cajolery of the
public. Weak and criminal NUM-
cipal Assemblies did as they were
bid. Franchises were granted
that were frankly Steals. No
Circuit Attorney had dared
attack the system of corruption.
1t seemed suicidal to do so.
Yet Mr.. Folk went after them
hot and heavy. His attack was
characterized by the fierce en-
thusiasm and the relentless en-
ergy that had marked his fight
in the election fraud cases. It
was difficult work to get evidence,
and it required strategy and
diplomacy. He was threatened,
even shot at. Close friends urg-
ed him to desist. Yet, unmind-
full of every consideration save
his duty to the people he pursued
his course. Deal after deal was
uncovered until more corruption
had been barred than ever before
in the history of an American
municipality.
The Scandal and it's ramifca-
tions stunned st. Louis. The
revelations and the man who
brought them about became the
talk of the country. Bribe- TAX
ers and bribe-givers were indict-
ed. There are generally many
takers to one giver, but Mr.. Folk
has always contended that the
latter is the greater criminal and
the more dangerous, so in each
case his aim was to get as many of
both as possible. Millionaire
"givers" squealed in panic, but
to no avail.
Corrupt officials were in a panic.
Their hatred of the man who had
dared assail them was intense
and increased iE bitterness as
one by one the circuit attorney
brought them in court and covict-
ed them. There were nineteen
trials, and eighteen convictions.
Mr.. Folk was elected Governor
of Missouri in 1894, He ran and
was elected on the same brief
platform that he had used as
FCircuit Attorney. His was the
