In the great democratic overturn
Of 1892, when the total electoral
vote was 444. Grover Cle' Gland re-
ceived 277 votes, Benjamin Harrison
145 and James B. Weaver % In
the present year, when the total
electoral vote is 5}1, Wilson gets
4i2 votes, Taft 70 and Roosevelt II.
In other words, Cleveland received
64.39 per cent OF the electoral vote
and Wilson 1924 per cert. But IN
1892 there was no open split in the
republican party. While politicians
are recalling that President Taft is

that this defeat is entirely due TO

TRAINING TREE FOR
ANY SHAPE DESIRED
Care Should Be Exercised to Keep
Top Open to Admit Rays
of Sun.

1t is much better to train a tree the
shape it is wanted than allow 1t to
grow wild, then chop and saw it into
the desired shape. says the Mirror
and Farmer.
II sprouts starting from the body
of the tree or along the main branches
are pinched when they are three or
four inches long they will ordinarily
form fruit spurs. Aim to get more
fruit buds near the body of the tree
and along the larger limbs instead of
the branches.
AS color is an important factor.
care should be exercised to keep the
top open SO that the rays of the sun
can reach to every part at some por-
ton of the day. To accomplish this
1t may be we'll to do some pruning
when the tree is in full leaf; cutting
10 or even Is per cent OF the top
away when the tree is in full leaf
will cause no serious injury.
II the trees are carefully looked
over about three times during the
growing season, and the ends of
those spots that are growing too long
are pinched off, the tree may be kept
to the desired shape. But where a.
shoot has been overlooked It is bet
ter to cut it out when found than
wait until winter. Negligence during
the growing season is about the only
logical reason for severe winter prun-
ing.
Severe pruning while the tree is in
a dormant state stimulates more
rapid and abundant wood growth.
about four-fifths of which will grow
where 1t is not wanted. necessitating
yet more cutting the following sea-

e@R0HES-A So

Don't overwork the mare; it won't
pay.
1t is as easy to teach a colt good
manners as faulty ones.
If grass is short, be sure to feed a
succulent ration of some kind.
The manners of the horse usually
reveal the temper of his owner.
A good Shropshire flock should ay-
erage nine to ten pounds of wool.
Unless a man has a great love for
horse he should not handle colts.
1t pays best to have a horse well
broken when he is offered for sale.
The cause of unthrifty pigs can
often be traced to a filthy swill bar
rel.
No animal that gets only feed
enough to support life can make a
gain or profit.
Silage is highly relished by young
stock and by idle cows, as well as
those in milk.
A five cent straw hat filed with
leaves dipped in water may save a
5000 brood mare.
Silage is well adapted for fattening
lambs and for a part ration for win
tering breeding sheep.
Don't leave the sheep in a dry, short
pasture. Give them a chance in a
fresh pasture. or give a good grain "a,

Most horsemen have had unfavor-

Many shepherds report as good re-
suits from feeding silage to sheep as
are reported by dairymen and beef
cattle feeders.
Men who rushed their sheep to
market last year are sorry, and men
who are rushing their best hogs to
market this year will be sorry next
year.
Silage is not of much value to hogs,
except when given in small feeds for
a variety and an appetizer. Hogs
show less liking for silage than any
other class Of farm animals.

Minnesota has law framed along

In the investigations of this matter

Pumpkins for Hogs and Cows.

1t is surprising that more pumpkins
are not fed to pigs and COWS which
have access to alfalfa pasture in the
fall. For brood sows and shoats, and
even for fattening hogs a ration of
pumpkins will give good results. 1t
has been found that raw pumpkins
will give as good results as though
they were cooked. If cooked and
some grain sprinkled over them hogs
will eat more of them, which is the
ouly advantage. In feeding cows the
seeds should be removed If fed in
