nearer by a quarter of a century be-
cause of the work unseifishiy done by
this great man.
But he did not create the cause. He
has made Progressives, but he did
not make Progressivism. He is, it
has been said, the political parent"
of Folk and Hadley and Johnson and
Wilson and others who have won
prominence in the faith. But he did
not implant in the breasts of men the
aspirations for freedom and justice
which the cause embodies.
The principles which now are set
forth for the first time by a great
political party as a Contract with tho
people have long been the growing
beliefs of millions of citizens Roose-
welt during his presidency began to
interpret them and to put into con-
crete form and phrase these aspira-
tons and convictions.
Like all effective leaders of historic
movements, he crystallized and gave
visible substance to the deep-Tooted
longings of men. He voiced what mil
lions felt. But the cause was born in
the heart of this nation. and there lies
its strength. Even though that bullet
had not been providentially detected
that marvellous fraction of an inch and
he had fallen a martyr, the cause
would still have gone on, because it
is in harmony with the irresistible
forces of human growth and evolution.
Had Grant died in the field would
that have meant the permanent dis
ruption of the Union? His loss would
have cost battles, but it could not have
prevented the ultimate triumph of his
cause So if the Progressive leader
had fallen, there would have been pro-
found sorrow for the passing of
loyal friend and leader. but no feeling

CALF FEEDING.
Construction of Rack Will
Greatly Lessen a Most Disa-
greeable Task.
j. !. !. !. :. :. !. j. !. !. \ :. !. :. :. !.

. . . . . . . . .
One of the disagreeable jobs on the
farm, and one that is likely to be
sighted because it is disagreeable, is
feeding the calves. Every farmer boy
remembers the tussles he has had in
teaching calves to drink. and in keep
ing other calves from splitting the milk
while he was feeding one.
This task may be greatly lessened
by making a calf rack, in which the
pail can be set, and the calf kept in
position by a stanchion. The calf
cannot spill his wilk, neither can he
bother any of the other calves. BY
making the rack long enough to pro-
vide room for all of the calves kept,
one can feed dozen or more almost
as quickly as he could feed one by
the old method of holding the pail
over the fence.
The accompanying cut will illus
trate the plan of the rack sufficiently
to enable any boy, at all handy, to
make one.
One would almost be justified in
making such rack on Sunday morn
ing, because of the effect it would
have on his disposition.

The Dairy

BY c. r. Barns, Extension Dr.

The reputation of Minnesota as a
butter producing state every now and
then draws hitler men from states
further west, in pursuit of choice stock
for their own farms. They naturally
reason that the basis of such repu-
tation must be the possession Of
choice herds. But Minnesota has not
yet advanced far enough, in the pro-
duction of pure bred and graded stock,
to enable it to come anywhere near
meeting the demand. And unfortu-
nately the selection of breeds, by the
few farmers who have gone into the
raising of dairy stock for sale, has
been so various and has been so often
dictated by fancy rather than by sound
business principles, that it is difficult
anywhere in the state to make up a
carload all of one breed. That their
purchases shall be "all of one breed"
is now wisely insisted on by all up-to-
date purchasers.
AS an instance of the rich oppor-
tunity often lost by the failure of dairy
breeders around given shipping
center to get together and cooperate
in raising just one breed, it is nwH-
