In the absence of speakers sehed-
uled. at the last moment ex-Repre-
sentative Charles f. Scott of the Sec
ond congressional district, was drafted
to fill the place Of the special speaker
Of the occasion. Mr.. Scott acquitted
himself with great credit to his state,
his party. and the leader of his party,
President William H. Taft. Among
the many good things which the
speaker brought out concisely and eff
fectively, were his specific proofs that
the present administration had been
marvelously and exceptionally success
full in writing into law the pledges
and promises of the party platform
adopted at the time of Taft's nomina-
ton. There were doubtless many of
those who heard the eloquent speaker
most agreeably surprised, not to say
amazed, to have it brought forcibly
to them that the platform of the Re
publican party in the results produced
by it's chief administrator, the presi-
dent had proven to be a platform of
performance as well as of promise.

In another part of this paper will
be found a report of the Kansas Day
club meeting not covered in the reports
of the earlier meetings. This descrip-
ton of what happened must necessarily
be more or less Inadequate.
The members of the Republican party,
or at least a faction of it, have surely
not appreciated what the organization
through it's leaders has accomplished
during the last three years.
Mr.. Scott's facts are not to be dis
puted and the logic based thereon is
well-nigh invincible- He was given an
ovation His mention of Taft was re-
ceived with applause and enthusiasm
It is not likely that there was ever
gathered together a better representa-
ton of the party than there assembled
in this city On Monday.

There is no diSputing the fact that
corn is an ideal corn feed, but every
practical feeder admits that better ne
suits can be brought about by feeding
ration that is composed Of less than
twothirdS corn. 1t is a mistake to
think that we cannot afford to buy
other feeds to mix with the corn.
Ordinarily it is a mistake not to
feed the hogs the liquid before the
solid food.
See that the hogs have comfortable
quarters-now and the months tC
come. Failure here will Impair the
usefulness OF the herd.
Hogs will make from ten 10 twelve

1t may be safely asserted that a
mule will last as long as its teeth
and il is only when from advanced
age their grinders fail TO allow them

that their daily usefulness ceases.
Their immunity from accident and
disease is proverbial and so true IS
this that it rs seldom one ever hears
of mule being seriously injured I'M
less by gross carelessuess or neglect.
They are not subject supposedly to
CHAMBERS or farcy, the two most fatal
diseases of horses. The conformation
and texture of their hoofs renders
them much less liable to lameness
than horses and when used regular
ly on the farm and even occasionally
on the road they will not require
shoes.
Another thing i'm their favor is that
they can be stabbed without haltering;

OLD FRIENDS.

There are no friends Ike old iriendA
And none 50 good and true;
We greet them as we meet them,
AS the roses greet the dew.
No other friends are dearer,
Though born Of kindred mold;
And while we prize the new ones,
We treasure more the old.
There are no friends like old fdendA
To help us with the load
That all must bear who journey
DER hfe's uneven road.
And when unconquered sorrows
The weary hours invest,
The kindly words Of old friends
Are always found-the best.
There are no friends hike old friends.
To calm our frequent fears,
When shadows fall and deepen
Through nfe's declining years;
And when our faltering footsteps
Approach the great divide,
Wen long to meet the old friends
Who wait the other side"
