Clark, Underwood, Lloyd, Ra:ney
Dixon, Randell, Graham! These are
some of the names that vial go down
in history with the extra se-s or

These men, and others too, were
in the forefront in the tight to re

the special session convened these
men went into it determined upon
one important point: that they
would move heaven and earth if ne
cessary to carry out prediction
promises. something that had not
been done for 16 years.
The fight was not successful, ow-
ing to a republican president. New
ertheless Champ Clark, Oscar I'm
ierwood and James T. Lloyd deserve

for they made, in good faith, as gal
liant a fight as the leaders of any
political party ever made in the halls
Of Congress.
Prediction promises were kept in
the House, and would have been en-
acted into legislation had the Pres
ident withheld his vetoes.
Cooperation at all times with
Speaker Clark and Leader Under
wood, Congressman Lloyd wa
one Of the really big figures OF the
extra session that has now passed
into history. Aside from his inter-
ast in the tariff, Mr.. Lloyd did valu-
able work in other directions. 1t
was the First Missouri district man
who fathered the resolution which
was designed to end the system of
rag rule installed by President Taft.
This resolution restores to all
government employees the right to
petition congress when they have
grievances, right which is gu rim

out which right has been taken away
from the employees by President Taft
in his endeavor to prevent the leak

learn more to love. Business and life
affairs are so curiously knit and inter
woven that the pride and care taken
in one thing will show its effect in all
things. 1t is an observable fact that
the farms on which most attention is
given to neatness and beauty, there
also is found the greatest profit in
business.
The things we remember longest
about our old farm homes are not
how much the fat porkers weighed or
how many bushels or tons per acre
were ours on a certain field, although
that was Of first Importance at the
time. We remember mostly the spring
with climbing vines and limbs, the
elms and naples, the evergreens in
the corner of the house yard, the red
barns where We kept the silky-coated
jerseys and the old house with all it's
comforts and conveniences.
To live the farm life ideal is to know
the beauty of open fields and sky and
trees to appreciate the sacred bless

lem opportunity to know the really
great things Of life than In the open

At the end of the racing at Ascot

There has not been such an out
burst OF feminine excitement since
the last suffragist raid on the house

so alarmed and were so afraid of the
cloakroom being stormed by the angry
owners of the precious wraps that
they sent for the police. When the
constables came several ladies fed
ANONYMOUSLY without their things.

the tangle and the honor of Ascot was
saved. The cause of the commotion

The March of
Miles StQndiSh

Meanwhile the stalwart Miles Stand
ish was marching steadily north
ward,
Winding through forest and swamp.
and along the trend of the sea-
shore,
AL day long, with hardly a halt. the
fire OF his anger
Burning and cracking within, and the
sulphurous odor Of powder
Seeming more sweet to his nostrils
than all the scents Of the forest.
Silent and moody he went, and much
he revolved his discomfort;
He who was used to success, and to
easy victories always,
Thus to be fiouted rejected, and
laughed to scorn by maiden,
Thus to be mocked and betrayed by
the friend whom most he had
trusted
All! twas too much to be borne, and
he fretted and chafed in his
armor!
81 alone am to blame" he muttered.
for mine was the folly
What has rough old soldier, grown
grim and gray in the harness,
Used to the camp and It's ways. to do
with the wooing Of maidens?
Twas but dream,-let 1t pass,-let
it vanish like so many others!
What thought was flower, is only
a Wesd. and is worthless;
Out of mi heart will pluck 1t, and
throw.it away, and henceforward
BE but fighter of battles. lover and
wooef of dangers!"
Thus he revolved in his mind his
sorry defeat and discomfort,
While he was marching by day or ly-
ing at night In the forest,
Looking up at the trees, and the con-
- stellations beyond them.
After a three days march he came
to an Indian encampment
Pitched on the edge of meadow, be-
tween the sea and the forest;
Women at work by the tents, and the
warriors, horrid with war-paint,
Seated about fire, and smoking and
talking together;

sudden approach of the white
men,

Suddenly changing their tone, they

Then Wattawamat advanced with a
stride In front Of the other.
And, with a lofty demeanor. thus
vauntingly spake to the Captain:
Now Wattswamat can see, by the
fiery eyes of the Captain,
Angry Is he in his heart; but the
heart OF the brave Wattawamat
Is not afraid at the sight. He was
not born of a woman.
But on q mountain. at night, from an
oak-tree riven by lightning.
Forth he sprang at bound, with all
his weapons about him,
Who Is there here to fight
with the brave Wattawamat?
Then he unsheathed his knife. and.

hand,
Held it aloft and displayed womans

The farm which is run exclusively
as a Eaoney-making proposition quite
often lacks the attractive features
which ought to be found on every farm
that is the home of a family. The first
consideration must always be to make
the farm pay, but fields and stock
will yield none the less profit If the
farm possesses features of beauty.
Some places have natural beauty in
streams and trees such as is shown
In the picture of the College lane
bridge; every place can be made pleas
lngly attractive by trees, lawns, we'll
kept fences and neat painted build
ings.
The far-reaching effects of the ap-
pearance of farm surroundings may
be appreciated when it is remembered
that these things appeal to a part of
mans nature and make up, which is
deeper and more important than his
Instinct of possession and his ability
to make money. 1t is the barren mo-
notony Of unattractive farm homes
that has made many a boy become
restless and look forward to the time
when he could leave it all and find
things more to his taste In city sur
roundings. Farmers themselves who
are not thoughtful of the looks OF

Products of Wholesome High
Grade Dairy Products
By w. B. LIvERtNCE, Instructor in Dsirying,
Michigan Agricultural College


So many lives are dependent upon
the purity Of milk that clean milk
has become a practical moral of the
day. Infant mortality, the spread of
typhoid fever and the possibility OF
contracting tuberculosis from milk
have brought The attention of boards
Of health and the public in general
TO the conditions under which milk
and cream are produced.
II the following points are observed
the products of the dairy will be
wholesome and healthful:
1. Healthy cows-made certain by
the herd being subjected to the tu.
berculin test.
2. Clean stables. clean yards, clean
water supply for the animals.
3. Clean cows, made so by frequent
brushing, especially about fianks and
udder before milking.
4. A milker with clean clothes and
clean hands.
5. All utensils in which milk Is to
be placed should be scalded before
using.
6. Do not leave milk uncovered IN
the barn and remove II to a special
dairy house as soon as possible.
The points to be considered In pro-
ducing good cream are as follows:
1. The cream separator should be
thoroughly washed and scalded.
2. The cream should be cooled at
once.
8. Never mix warm and cold milk.
4. Keep cream in cool we'll venti-
lated room free from bad odors.
5. Stir the cream frequently to pre-
vent Jumps.
6. Deliver the cream to the factory
three times per week in the summer
and twice in the winter.
1t costs more to produce a clean
high-grade dairy article, but Gus
toners are willing to pay more and
there will always be demand for
pure wholesome dairy products at
high prices.

CARE OF THE
GRINDSTONE
By II. II. MUSSELMAN, Instructor in Farm
Mechanics, Michigan Agricultural College.

Perhaps no farm implement or ma
chine receives less attention than the
grindstone, and yet it Is as indispens-
able as the small boy who turns 1t.
The efficient man takes some heed to
the care he gives it since his efficiency
depend upon it. A man cannot do the
maximum amount of work with dull
tools, and dull tools cannot be sharp
ened satisfactorily on a wobbly or &C.
centric stone. Especially at this sea-
son Of the year should the stone be
put in shape after the seasons rush
of grinding everything from penknives
to mower knives. In grinding the lat
ter it is difficult to prevent wearing
away the corners of the stone.
Very often the stone is run IN
trough Of water in which the water Is
allowed to stand and soften one side
Of the stone when not in use, so that 1t
wears away faster with use than the
drier part, thus making the stone &C.
centric or out Of true. A better meth
cd of supplying water while grinding
Is to hang above the stone vessel
having a small pet-cock or opening
through which the flow of water may
be controlled and made to drip upon
the stone while grinding.
The grindstone and frame should be
protected from the weather at all sea-
sons of the year, though 1t appears
that they are often left out Of doors
to furnish an excuse for not grinding
dull tools on rainy days.
To true up the face OF grindstone
get a piece of gas pipe about three
quarters Of an inch in diameter and
two or three feet long. Get a steady
rest for the pipe about two or three
inches from the stone and at height
that will allow the pipe to be held
nearly horizontal with the end square
ly against the stone; then turning the
stone hold the pipe firmly at such
distance from the stone that 1t will
strike and wear away the high part OF
the surface. Continue until the pipe
wears the entire circumference OF the
stone, noting that the stone has no
crown or high center on the face. or
course the pipe will be ground away
rapidly, but as 1t becomes worn at an
angle 1t may be turned over and the
pointed side held against the stone.
