THOUGHTS BY THE WAY

Should the state go democratic,
goodbye Senator La Toilette.
This campaign has developed
some powerful lungs and liars.
Senator LaFollette says, that he
will vote for neither Taft, Wilson
nor RooseveIt-probably because
he cannot vote for himselft
The Me" and i" party ap-
pears to have been lost in the po-
litical shuttle. To much trust sup
port, no doubt.
Protection to our industries both
farming and manufacturing is an
asset. Destroy it, and our streets
will be filled with idle, starving
men.
A Tory, is a man who does not
want to see the country go to the
devil and the people robbed by ex-
orbitant taxes. The Milwaukee
Journal is not a Tory paper.
The public debt decreased last
month; compare that item with the
$500, 900, 900 increase in the debt
during the last Democratic nation
al administration when 6 Per cent
gold bearing bonds were issued to
cover a deficit
Roosevelt is telling why he be-
came a progressive, but it is funny
that he never thought of it until
he failed to obtain the republican
nomination. La Toilette does not
think he is a progressive; that his
so-called progressiveness is only a
false pretense.
LaFollette is praising Bryan
and denouncing Karel as a non
progressive and Bryan is praising
LaFollette and commencing Karel
as progressive. There you have
it. LaFollette is as inconsistent
as ever and only thinks of himself
and his political future.
The trouble with most reformers,
of the progressive sort is, that they
have a pet remedy you can't swal-
low without taking the reformer
himself. The remedies of the re-
formers, or rather progressives in
this state has been a hard dose and
has about bankrupted the state
and yet, they pirate about what they
have accomplished for the people
to increase their taxes and curtail
their liberties.

Woman Finally Receivers
From Nervous Breakdown

Impoverished nerves destroy many
people before their time. Often be-
fore a sufferer realizes what the
trouble is, he is on the verge Of
complete nervous breakdown. 1t
is of the utmost Importance to keep
your nervous system IN good con-
dition, as the nerves are the source
of all bodily power. Mrs. Anna
Kounz, I'll Mechanic St, Pueblo,
Colo, says:
"For many years | suffered from
nervous prOstratIOn; l was unable
to do any house work and doctors
failed to help me. Remedies l
tried from druggists did not do
me a particle of good. A neighbor
told my husband about
DR.. Miles Nervine
and he procured bottle. After the
first few doses | showed a marked
Improvement and after taking two
bottles l was entirely cured. [ have
been perfectly we'll for years and
cannot praise DR.. Miles Nervine
too highly"
If you are troubled with loss of
appetite, poor digestion, weakness,
inability to sleep; if you are in
general run down condition and
unable to bear your part of the
daily grind of life, you need some
thing to strengthen your nerves.
You may not realize what is the mat
ter with you, but that is no reason
why you should delay treatment.
DR.. Miles Nervine
has proven its value in nervous dis
orders for thirty years, and merits
a trial, no matter how many other
remedies have failed to help you.
Sold by all druggists. II first bottle

Ralslno the coIts Proper,v.

Most of the colts on the farm get a good start the first six months of their lives from the fact that they are allowed to suezle the dams during hat time. Early fall provides them with good pasture and possibly they have been receiving some oats or shared part of the feed of the mare.
 Such treatment puts them in good shape for the winter, but liberal feed Ing must be kept up if a strong, we'll developed and matured horse is ex- pected. The colts system required amount of bone and mus cle building material, and this can be had by feeding nitrogenous feeds, such as oats, little clover hay.
 The feeding of corn, so often prao- hoed, Is not desirable for the growing colt, but had better be confined to the matured horses. Access to the straw pile will not hurt a growing colt. but 1t should not be compelled to rely Vn the straw pile for a livelihood.

PAYS TO RAISE GOOD HORSES
Grade staIIIons Cheaper to Use, But Pure Bred Colts Sold for Twice
 as Much Money.

Fifty-hve dollars Is good interest for the use of ST for year. And when the feed of a colt for another year is saved the proposition Is all the more attractive.
 A stock farmer living in the south east part of the state has been rearing B number of colts every year, using the services of a grade stallion.
 This horseman wasn't very enthusi- astic about paying a larger fee for the service of a pure-bred stallion. He had been using grade and inferior tires with a fair degree of success. He saw no reason for changing.
 In the season of 1910 he decided to try a good pure-bred stallion just once, to see if it was worth the difference in he service fees.
 The second week in this month this stockman held a sale. The three Vear-old colts. sired by a grade stall Hon, sold at an average of $76. The two-year-old colts, the progeny of an other grade sire. brought an average of $46. The weaning colts, sired by a pure-bred stallion, sold at an average of s1o1.
 The service fee of the pure-bred stallion was $15. that of the grade sS, 3 difference of ST. The feed eaten by the older colts was saved, and $55 more was received for the weanlings than the two-year-olds, and $25 more than the three-year-olds-

AMERICAN EMPRESS OF KOREA
for Annexation of the Country by Japan.

The empress of Korea, who died re- gently, was born in Appleton, Wis, the daughter of a Methodist minister, a "circuit rider" who made Appleton his home for a few years before the war, says the New York Evening Post The Rev. MT. Brown was a handsome southerner, and his wife a woman of exceptional beauty, who transmitted her beauty to her daughter Emily, who was born in 1861. Shortly after the war, when Emily was about five years old, the family left Appleton; and ten years later the Rev. MT. Brown took his wife and daughter to Seul, the capital of Korea, and was said to have been the first Protestant missionary to enter the capital of the Hermit Kingdom. The young Appleton girl soon learned the language of the Ko- reans, and acted as interpreter in deal ings between the missionaries and the government. She had a remarkably sweet voice and attracted many na- lives to her fathers mission by her wonderful singing of hymns. The em- peror heard of the remarkable beauty and wonderful voice of the American girl and commanded her to enter his harem, which she indignantly refused to do. Two years later, however, when the mission was in financial straits she accepted the emperor's offer and became one of his wives, with prom ise of marriage in her fathers mission as soon as conditions permitted. When the American wife had borne the em- peror a son and his queen had died, Emily Brown was proclaimed queen. the ruler of Korea then being a king. and when he proclaimed himself em- peror she became empress and re
 ceived the name of Om, which, in the Korean language, means Dawn of the
 Morning or "As Beautiful as the Ris- ing Sun." Emily Brown was the em- peror's favorite wife, and her son was made the heir apparent, and, but for the annexation of Korea by Japan, he would have become emperor on the
 death of the father.

PLANTING THE GARDEN EARLY
Whore season To Late and Rainy Not Advisable to Get seeds Into
 Ground Too Coon

It is not always advantageous h plant the garden as early as possible. Under certain conditions nature has bens the growth of late planted seeds 70 that the difference in time of their F1Dening will not accord with the diff terence in plantings- This is partic- uIarly the ease when the season is late and rainy.
 Plant for a succession of the diff Derent vegetables. A garden in which most of the planting is done at about the same time win not give as good results as where a period of time eiapses between the second, third or fourth plant1ngs of the same vege- tables. Particularly is this true of peas, says the Farm and Home Where 3 number of different varieties were tried the best results were obtained trom one or two varieties planted in succession.
 In sweet corn. however, this was not so apparent. It was found best to rely on several varieties as well as successive paintings. If the season was backward or the plantings made unusually early, sweet corn seemed to be very slow in growth. On the other hand, the corn planted later would grow very fast under favorable con- ditions and almost catch up with the arst paintings. To overcome this diff aculty It was found advisable to rely on the plantings of different varieties.

Incubator manufacturers always rec ommend purchasing the best kind of pill to use in the incubator lamps, and this Is good advice. But sometimes the oil will smoke. A remedy for this is to take a cupful of fine salt and put into each quart of oil. Let 1t settle for a few days. then pour into the lamp and put in a small piece of gum camphor, letting 1t remain there. Of course the wick must be properly trimmed, rounded at each side. other wise the lamp will smoke, no matter what kind of oil you have.
