The Republican Platform

Our great national advance has
been made during the years OF its as
tendency in public affairs. It has
been genuinely and always a party OF
progress; It has been either sta
tionary or reactionary. 1t has gone
from the fulfllment OF one great
pledge to the fulnllment Of another in
response to the public need and to the
popular will.
We believe in u self controlled
representative democracy, which is a
government OF laws. NOT of men. and
IN which order is the prerequisite OF
progress.
Future Problems 70 De Met.
The principles OF constitutional gov
eminent which make provision for or

Monopoly and Privilege.

The Republican party is opposed to
special privilege and monopoly. 1t
placed on the statute books the inter
state commerce act Of 1887, n the
important amendments thereto, and
the antitrust act of 1890, and 1T has
consistently and successfully enforced
the provisions Of these laws. 1t will
take no backward step to permit the
re-establishment in any degree OF con
ditioas which were intolerable.
Experience has it plain that the
business of the country may be car
RED on without fear or without dis
turbance, and at the same time with.
out resort to practices which are Oh
horrent to the common sense OF JUS
tice.
The Republican party favors the en-.
actment Of legislation supplementary
to the existing antitrust act which
win defne>as criminal offenses those
specific acts that uniformly mark at
tampts to restrain and to monopolize
trade, to the end that those who hon
estly intend to obey the law may
have a guide for their action n that
those who attempt to violate b law
may be more surely punished.
The same certainly should be given
to the law prohibiting combinations
and monopolies that -caharacterizes
other provisions of commercial law,
in order that no part of the field Of
business opportunity may be restrict
ed by monopoly or combination, that

FEEDING THE HEAVY MIXER
Large Producers More Than Balance
Added Cost, According to Theory
Of Prof. F. w. Woll.

Some people are apt to claim that
great mixers require feeding the
cost Of which more than balances
the added value Of their produce.
Those who have this notion should
consider the statement made by Prof.
r. W. Vol In his address before the
Western Guernsey Cattle Breeders
association, who brought up the fol
lowing figures:
At the close Of the Wisconsin COW
competition, the Holstein COW, Caro-
line Paul Parthenia, was accorded the
honor of being the largest producer
of butter fat The feed eaten during
the year by this COW at market prices
was valued at s129.50. while the feed
eaten by the lowest producer was
s4S.32, but as Mr.. Vol says:
"The production of butter fat and
skim milk at fair values would bring
for the poorest COW $6S.24 and for
the best COW s2s3.24. If we subtract
the cost of the feed from the value of
the products, we get what may be
termed net returns, amounting to
1892 for the low producer and $154.-
Al for the record COW. This, there
fore, is the situation: The best COW
produced over 300 per cent. more but
ter fat than the poorest COW; her
feed cost 1853 per cent. more, but she
gave SIS per cent. larger returns"

SUCCESS DEPENDS on FEED
Cows Must Be Given Both Protein
and carbonaceous Rations in
Order to Do Well.

Success in milk and butter dairying
depends largely on the feed Of the
COW in properly balanced rations.
Cows must have both protein and
carbonaceous foods to do well, and
these can readily be selected In due
proportion.
The protein foods are alfalfa,
clover, cowpea hay, bran, cornmeal,
cottonseed meal and soy beans.
The carbonaceous foods are corn
and cornmeal, corn silage, timothy
hay, corn fodder, carrots, sugar beets
and other beets A good balanced ra-
ton may be made Of alfalfa or clover
hay, silage, corn or cornmeal.
These can be fed in balanced
quantity, and the dairyman will very
soon see the quantity required after
feeding a short time. Thirty-five to
forty pounds of corn per day, accord
ing to the size of the COW, are
enough.

case OF breeding heifers his views
have always been backed up by both
experience and observation.
When the heifer is bred to drop the
first calf at the age of two years,
and in nearly all instances this can
be done, the habit Of giving milk is
early stimulated, besides the young
COW is more tractable, and thus more
readily brought under the environ
pent of her new condition. With the
first calf dropped at the age Of two
years 1t is better to delay the breed
ing Of the second calf for six or
eight months but keep milking her
for year at least, in order to de-
velop the trait Of long and persis-
tent milking. After the second calf
she can be bred regularly every year.
II properly fed and handled there is
really no danger of stunning the
growth or undermining the constitu-
ton by early breeding. For the dairy
COW should begin giving milk as early
in life as possible, and the habit of
persistent milking be thoroughly in
stilled in the animal. A heifer bred
to calve at 21k or years Of age will
be more difficult to handle, and con-
sequently not give down her milk SO
readily, thus bringing about a ten
dency to shorten the milking period
when all efforts should be in the line
Of loug period of lactation. Breed
the heifers young, IA to 15 months,
except, possibly, In special cases.

ing and development, may reasonably
anticipate a satisfactory progeny

Julius Caesar brought the civil year into close
harmony with the solar In B. c. 40, but, for
many centuries, the example was not followed
by subsequent European nations At one time
there were seven different dates for the begin
ming of the year among the Christian nations
and even successive popes until comparatively
recent times scarcely ever adopted the same
chronology. Russia and the eastern empire OF
Constantine dated from September 1, and the

the New Year among the Catholic nations Of
Europe in 1882, when Pope Gregory XIII intro
duced the new style Of reckoning and corrected
the accumulated discrepancies between the Jul.

striking ten days out of the almanac of that
year By 1900 this date was In general use
throughout Europe but 1t Vas not until 1852
that England and her American colonies
adopted It.
Ancient and modern civilized peoples, while
differing as to the day from which they reck-
oned the beginning Of the civil year, have agreed
in distinguishing 1t by special festivities and re-
ligious observances The Romans dedicated jan

THE VANISHED YEAR

Once again a year has vanished
To the realm OF bygOnes banished,
Where the past years sleep In glory
Not forgotten before
And the New Year comes to greet Us.
On the wings of Time to meet US.
And to tell the old, old story
OF the years that are no more.
In the wings of Time, swift flying,
Lies the Old Year, signing, dying,
Borne to join the host that slumbers
On that distant unknown shore
Borne to Join the countless legion,
That have crossed that mystic region,
And are counted with the numbers
In that land Of Nevermore
Once again the bells are ringing,
Tidings Of the New Tear bringing,
With the blythe and gladstone elangor
OF the bells that rang Of yore,
And their glad and tuneful pealing.
Brighter, fairer skies revealing,
Bids US Danish sorrow, anger,
Think OF gladness yet in store.
Let us greet the New Year gladly
Though we miss the old one sadly
Let US hope for bright skies Ger as,
Let our dreams be ysver fair
Let us Danish care and sorrow,
Hope for gladness on the morrow
Let us build for days before rs
Brighter castles in the air.
