a glance at the above figures Is SUI
fcicnt to show the drain on the farm
from selling these products.
r While there are several ways N
which the worn.out lands may be re.
stored, every body knows that the
first principle is to feed on the farm
as nearly as possible all of the crops
and to return the manure to the soil.
Live stock of all kinds are well adapt.
ed for this purpose. but the dairy
COW is especially adapted. When the
grains are all fed on the farm and the
OF the plant food removed by them
IS returned to the soil Then MS a
rule more or less feed will be brought
cato dairy farm, which represents
80 much gain IN fertility, although
this is not necessary in Missouri in
nest years A ton OF cOttonsced meal,
for instance, which is one Of the
cheapest dairy foods this winter
brings onto the farm nearly as much
value as n fertilizer as It costs as a
feed. When fed to COWS, such mate
rial serves its purpose as a feed. and
from 10 to 30 per cent Of its value as
a fertilizer is left in the manure pile

riches the farm as much in one tol
as would nearly S13 worth OF com
mercial fertilizers bought in the mar
ket. Another reason why the sclllnt
OF dairying products does not injur,
the farm is that the product solo
takes almost nothing that Is valuable

cheese, worth about 5000. takes from
the farm only about Sl3 worth Of fer

HA Sfaked His Herd.

Many stories of big poker games
among the western cattlemen in the
early days have been told, but the
story of the game with probably the
greatest stakes is here printed for the
first time. Two well-known cattle
men of southwestern Kansas, one of
whom is now prominent business
man in Kansas City, started to move
their herds to the pastures Of Wyo-
ming. Each herd contained more
than thousand head OF cattle. When
they came to the crossing of the
Arkansas river near Coolidge they
found a food on. They were unable
to cross for two or three days. To
while away the time the two men en-
gagged in a poker game. When the
flood finally subsidized SO that the cat
tie could proceed one of the cattle
men said to his son, who was helping
him to drive: "Just turn my herd
over to our neighbor and we will go
back home" He had bet and lost
not only all the money he had but all
of the herd of cattle.

ALDR|CH DENIES

Says President Said Lorimer
Was "Not Objectionable"
"DID NOT SEEK ZIMMERMAN"
Former Senate Leader Refutes Many
Statements Made Before InvestI-
eating Committee Concerning
Senatorial Election.

observation-disclosures Senator Mel
son w. Aldrich of Rhode Island was
the star witness before the Lorimer
investigation committee of the
senate. Mr.. Aldrich confirmed some
statements made by Edward Hines,
the Chicago lumberman, regarding the
part played by President Taft and
himself in Senator Lorimer's election
and repudiated others.
In substance, Aldrich's testimony
was to the erect that Hines ap-
preached him and asked him what the
administration thought of Lorimer,
and Aldrich informed him that Lori
mer was mot Objectionable" to Pres
ident Taft
Later In the cay cross-examina,
ton brought an admission from G. r.
Wfehe, brother-ln-law of Hines, that
the mysterious Robert Shields of
Superior, Wis, who travels the coun-
try over refreshing the memories of
witnesses prior to their appearance
here, has obtained for his own agency,
100000 of insurance on the Hines
Lumber company's properties, has
'lobbied" for the concern and its
branches in the Wisconsin legislature
and was active in the election of Sen
ator Stephenson of Wisconsin.
This is what former Senator Aldrich
accomplished during his short ap-
pearance On the witness stand:
Denied that he sent for Edward
Hines In the spring Of 1901.
Denied that he asked Hines to see
Congressman Lorimer and impress on
very anxious to have Republican
senator elected in illinois as soon as
possible"
Denied that he told Hines there
were several important tariff sched-
ules coming up in the senate for the
passage of which it was very i'm
portant to have every available Re-
publican vote.
Denied that he again sent for Hines
and asked him to accompany him to
the White House to discuss the Illi-
nois situation with the president.
Denied that he told Hines the pres
ident and he (Aldrich) thought Lori
mer could be elected and again asked
Hines to urge on Lorimer "the neces-
sity of becoming candidate and do
ing all he could to be elected at the
earliest moment possible"
Denied that he sent any message
whatever either to Lorimer or to
fho n1o
ton.
Mr.. Aldrich thought he had par
ticipated in three conversations with
Hines. The first one was early in
April, 1909. He had not sent for
Hines.
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Boies Pen
rose, Republican leader of the
United States senate, corroborated be-
fore the Lorimer committee Of that
body the evidence given by Edward
Hines, SO far as he had been named
in the testimony of the Chicago lum-
herman. The senator told without
hesitation the story of his participa-
ton in the election Of Senator Lori
mer of Illinois; of his conferences
with Mr.. Hines, of his urging the lat
ter to aid in seeing that q Republican
was elected by the deadlocked legisla-
ture and of his final desire that Con-
gresham Lorfmer whom he found to
be the only man upon whom the war
ring Republican factions of Illinois
could unite, should be given the sena-
torship.

Measures were taken to ascertain
whether the passenger pigeon had
been completely exterminated. Under
the stimulus of rewards offered aggre-
eating altogether several thousand
dollars many reports were received of
nesting passenger pigeons. The in
formation, however, proved incorrect
on investigation, and it is practically
established that Of the vast hordes
of wild pigeons that formerly inhabit-
ed the eastern United States there is
now but one survivor, female bird

FARMERS CREED HOLDS GOOD
Formulated so Years Ago by Henry
Ward Reecher, and Still Effec-
tive-Distributed in Schools.

In these days Of intensive farming
agricultural colleges, chemical ferti-
Hzers,. E. M. Rapp OF Reading, Pa,
county school superintendent, has
found that THE Farmers Creed"
written nearly half century ago, is
so adaptable to present conditions that
he has had it printed on cards and
distributed among the advanced pu-
pills of the public schools. Here it Is:
We believe in small farms and thor
ough cultivation.
We believe that soil loves to eat, as
well as its owner, and ought therefore
to be literally fed.
We believe in large crops which
leave the land better than they found
ft-making the farmer and the farm
both glad at once.
We believe in going to the bottom
of things, and, therefore, in deep plow-
ing and enough of tall the better
with subsoil plow.
We believe that every farm should
own a good farmer.
We believe that the best fertilizer
for any soil Is a spirit Of industry, en-
terprise and intelligence. Without
this lime and gypsum, bones and
green manure, mari and guano will be
of little use.
We believe In good fences, good
barns, good farm houses, good stock,
good orchards and children enough to
gather the fruit.
We believe In a clean kitchen,
neat wife in 1t and a clear conscience.
We firmly disbelieve in farmers who
will not improve; in farms which grow
poorer every year; in starving cattle;
In farmers boys turning into clerks
and merchants; In farmers ashamed
of their vocation, or who drink whis-
ky until honest people are ashamed OF
them.
