The Lops
and Tops

We find that the beet tops in the
silo give just as good, or better, re-
suits with the milk cows as the besi
corn silage. Those who feed the top.
out OF the field will get the best re-
suits by taking them to the barn to
thaw out before feeding. l have
heard of trouble with feeding beef
tops in some parts of the country
but l have had but one instance in
my own herd-a calf about six months
old. This calf was taken with stag
gering, frothing at the mouth and a
sort of paralysis. in fact acting much
as a dog in the first stages after be-
ing poisoned with strychninc. There
was later considerable bloating. IL
recovered in two or three days and
soon after was attacked again in the
same way only more severely. In the
meantime | had read of the same
symptoms in frozen beet poisoning
and as there is considerable OF the
beet cut off with the tops, l had no
difficulty in diagnosing the trouble
as frozen root poisoning. However
after looking over all of my veterin-
ary books / was unable to find any
remedy prescribed for this particular
trouble and SO left it to the whole
farm crew to try and find remedy
For the benefit of those who may
have similar experience with this
comparatively new disorder l will
give the treatment my calf received
A neighbor pronounced kerosene the
best thing in al cases of poisoning and
gave a half pint. The Missus gave a
pint of buttermilk with tablespoon
full of baking soda, and my partner
tapped the poor thing in the usual
place with the small blade of jack
knife, all within half an hour. The
calf got well and the next morning
was feeding as usual. 1t will be seen
that the trouble needs prompt and
vigorous treatment to be effective, but
would not risk my professional rep
utation by advising every one to fol-
low exactly the same route. gave
orders that the calf, should not be fed
tops any more until il was year and
a half old This is the treatment ]

business has been very satisfactory in
the returns it has given. but there are
many farmers who do not like the
methods employed in handling the
crop. 1t would seem that some OF

Has Her Arm Broken

Miss Bertha KEEPER. while on her way
IN from the Star Valley school house on
Tuesday to cast her vote in her home
precinct, was the victim Of an unfortunate
accident that will keep her from her
school duties for time.
BY the careening Of the conveyance in
which she was coming to town--eaused
by the horse running away-Miss KEEPER
was thrown out and sustained broken
arm.
Rocky Ford enterprise., 1912-11-08


1t is simply question of wait
ing for the official count in every
precinct to determine the exact
results in Otero county.
Never in the history of the coun-
ty was such large vote cast as
Tuesday and never has it required
as much time to tabulate the re-
turns. Not only were the ballots
larger than usual, but the appear
ance of a third party in the field
made the count more difficult. Ad-
ded to this thirty-two proposed
amendments were, tackled on the
ballot and the count of the vote on
them proved to be extremely diff
cult,
As .he count progressed it be-
came evident that there would
likely be several fights before the
canvassing board, as pursuant to
instructions from the deputy dis
trict attorney the judges in almost
every precinct were compelled to
ignose the clear intent of voters
and were throwing out all tickets
marked "Bull Moose" Roosevelt
"ProgressiveRepublican" and the
like, in one precinct there being
"a of these ballots reported.
On the vote for commissioner of
the First district the count is very
close and it is doubtful if the fu-
sion candidate, Victor Albera, will
pull through. This is due no
doubt to the unfortunate canard
published about this gentleman at
the eleventh hour.
At late hour yesterday NJ. U.
Randel. the Progressive-iepubli-
can campaign manager said: "Our
claims for the county have from
the first been based upon good
grounds-we are not changing
them and have not at any time
since our prediction on the ave of
election day that the fusion forces
had won out in the county, with
possibly two exceptions-surveyor
and commissioner. We are pay
ing no attention to hearsay evil
dence and are basing our conf
dence upon absolutely accurate
and complete precinct returns"
There is no question in this
county about the election of all
the Democratic state officials, and
because of the big Democratic
majority in Pueblo county the
defeat of our candidate for dis
trict judge. G. GLENN 8
conceded. In the same down.
and-out class is our candidate for
representative-William Edgrr.
To the great majority of Enter
prise readers it will cause surprise
and sorrow to learn that Swink
has again gone wet by a larger
majority than before-64 votes
and we will still have to grin and
bear the affliction of this iniqui-
tous spot almost at our doors.

CASE OLE THE GORED OK.

Eight wears ago Theodore Roose-
Welt described Elihu Root as tine
ablest man in public life, in this or
any other country" The Root OF
the present day is not essentially
different from the one of eight years
ago. with the exception that he is
now opposed to Roosevelt whereas
he presided over the convention that
nominated the rough rider. Since
the 1912 Root is not his supporter
Roosevelt is trying to bluff him out
of the temporary craftsmanship OF
the Chicago convention. The colo
mel is an expert buffer and bull
dozer. but Root, his former crony
and now a Taft man, swears by the
eternal that he is going to preside
over that convention. 1t seems to
be a case very similar to one
we have here in Georgia, where
certain red-topped person is a gem
tleman and a scholar or scoundrel
and a renegade according to whose
OK is gored.

The Way of One Idea,

But few men are brave enough to
acknowledge themselves as cranks.
The gentleman with the bomb in his
whiskers, the lady with the perfum-
ed poodle the person with the edu-
Gated whasker are all cranks--but
they never admit it.
Calico was a crank; St. Pau was a
crank; Demostnenes was a crank.
So. too, was Napoleon, julius Caesar,
William Shakespeare and all the
men of one idea. That is the crank q
ailment He has an idea that is
sometimes too big for his Uranium.
1t makes him do light-headed and
weird things.
Maybe you are crank about black
coffee or pink underwear; base ball
or the Bible; Sanscrit or succotash;
dream books or dewberries. There
is certain to be a streak of cranki-
ness somewhere in your makeup;
you are not human if you are not a
crank
The polite name for crankiness is
temperament. In primitive commu-
mites where speech is blunt and I'M
polished they call this ''cussedness. :"
When it is drawing down $4,000 ev-
cry seventh day it becomes artistic
temperament.
There are cranks on religion, poll
tics, baseball, moving pictures, veg
etarian diet and tree planting. With
out cranks all progress would stop.
Progress is the moving cause of
cranks. Some of them are very try
ing to live with, however. They are
against things as they are and are
forever butting their heads into
brick walls. Sometimes the walls do
give way, but the heads give more
often.

DELEGATES TO BALTIMORE.

Editor of Dawson News: Because

THE SPIRIT OF UNREST.

What's the matter with the old
world, anyway? Why this spirit of
discomfort and unrest everywhere?
There are wars and rumors of wars;
there are strikes and rumors of
strikes; there is revolt among the
women of the world; there is polit-
ical madness in the air and in the
blood; there is rampant anarchy
being preached from the housetops;
there is heresy laundering from the
pulpit; there is deluge of calumny
and SANDER, of lying and of envy,
enveloping the land in its slime;
there are waves of crime-of shock
ing robberies and of more shocking
Notwithstanding over both city
and hamlet; there is utter disregard
of law, of justice, of human rights,
displayed as well by the plutocrat in
his auto as by the submerged victim
of human avarice and oppression.

blots on our civilization, but they
are becoming so numerous that they
may be pointed out as essential parts
of our civilization itself. What is
the underlying cause? Have we
raised material success to be our
God, and are we thus paying the
penalty for our blind worship of the
dollar, of social prestige, of power
and of prominence-for our rever-
ence of the golden calf?
Certain it is that grave social I'M
rest and disorder, vices and crime,
assail our age. Man has subdued
the earth, conquered the ocean,
chained the roaring cataracts to his
car of progress, and is now engaged
in a conquest of the air. But he has
not conquered himself, and he never
will while his heart turns to follow
after strange gods-the deities of
fashion, wealth and power and self
ishness

WHAT TO DO WITH THEM?

With the closing Of the school year
thousands of families will be con-
fronted with the problem of what to
do with the boys and girls ready to
start out in the world of affairs, says
the Boston Herald. They want not
only to earn their living, but to get
into readiness for the serious respon-
sibilities of life. They are too con-
tent, if left to themselves, to accept
small rewards of some immediate
glitter in disregard of the dreary
waste of life which the pursuit of
nothing better must entail. Here
is where the parent and the teach
er should come in. They know bet
ter than do the youth the value of
money-or, rather, it's small value
and the precariousness of much OF
the supports in which youth is con-
tent to trust. The careers of the
young should be family questions,
rather than for the child alone
Today, more than ever. the re-
wards of the professions attract the
aspiring young man. But the COM
petition, all the time tightening,
makes the risks of the young man
who ventures into the law, for ex-
ample, considerably greater than in
the past. Legal education in itself
no longer proves a passport to pro-
fessional success. 1t is the same
with education in general. The time
has gone by when a man because he
is educated is reasonably assured
of a good livelihood. With him as
with his less fortunate brothers
down the line he must be not only
a good man, but good for some
thing" The most pathetic figure
in the great army of seekers for en-
ployment, freshly recruited at this
season by the youngsters from the
schools, is the person who can do
almost everything" but who con-
fesses to no fitness for anything in
particular
Everyone ought to master some
calling which is sufficiently gainful
to afford him, if necessary, a living.
A larger number than now ought to
look intently for what widening
doors of opportunity they may be
able to find in callings which MN
lister to the old-fashioned and wholly
fundamental necessities Of man
kind.

PINCH HOLES.

If you value your lives and the
lives of your neighbors never throw
a tin can away at this season of the
year without first punching a hole in
it with a hammer and nail or a
Ratchet or ice pick or any other
weapon that may come handy. This
is the urgent advice of the George
State Board of Health. Just as If
Won did not know it before, these
medical men say the first rain that
comes along will fill the can par
tally with water and when the sun
comes out again the rusty little re-
ceptacle will become a breeding
place for mosquitoes, which in turn
will carry deadly germs of many
kinds.
It is estimated that fully 1,000,-
400 mosquitoes can breed in sim
ole old tin can in one season. So,
nv punching a hole in the bottom
Of one tomato can you may kill a
million winged pests.

ANOTHER CONVENTION.

There was another democratic
convention in Georgia not so very
long ago that was attended by Mr.
Watson of McDuffie county, anG TO
keep the record straight and for
the benefit of those who have raised
such a hue and cry about the part
he played in the convention of last
week The News reproduces from the
Valdosta Times the following bit of
political history:
six years ago Mr.. Watson was
taken back into the democratic par
ty, and he was a member of the
democratic convention which nomi-
mated Hoke Smith. He was not
only a member of that convention,
but he wrote part of the platform,
especially that part about disfran-
chising the negroes. He also fur
nished other parts of the platform,
and it was because those planks
were not carried out that caused
the split between him, Governor
Smith and T. w. Hardwick. Wat
son was then a free lance. 1t was
two years before he renewed his
utilization with the party

aid finds much to commend in what
he did in the convention of last
Wedesnday, and expresses the hope
that when the next convention is
held the former populist leader will
be on hand again to fight for a
square deal and the rights of the
peoples representatives The Her.
aid says:
Tom Watson was right in his
contention for a recognition of the
county unit in voting for delegates
to the national convention and on
all other important questions COM
ing before the state democratic con-
vention Wednesday, He was also
right in his opposition to the cut
and dried system of having a COM
mittee pass upon all resolutions and
other matters that should properly
be considered by the whole conven-
Yention, and if he stays in the dem
cratic party until the next state
convention is held we hope he will
turn up again and fight out to the
finish these relics of ring rule and
bOSsism in our state political sys-
tenn"

Hills, as if New York society is

its women toward life. When wo-
men become thoughtless toward the

AN EXTRA JUROR.
,om the Savannah News.

From the Savannah News.
In the pending trial of Clarence S.
barrow, under indictment for brib-
cry in connection with the Mona
mara case, the workings of one OF
California's excellent laws will be
shown afresh. 1t is not new law,
but has rarely been applied. 1t is
provided in the statutes that when
a panel of twelve jurymen has been
completed a thirteenth or substitute
juror may be drawn. He is to sit
in the case, but is to have no vote OF
no voice in the making of the YER
dict, except in the event of illness
or other disqualification making il
necessary to withdraw a juror; No
13 would then take his seat and be-
come regular juror. In innumera-
Bile instances states and counties
have been put to extraordinary ex-
pense through the breaking of a pan
ell after an important trial had been
started and was we'll under way. The
extra juror is precautionary pro
vision that it seems would have long
since found it's way into the jury
