No Third Term for St. Louis!

The st. Louis Republican City Com
mittee has endorsed Theodore Roose-
welt for the presidency of the United;
States. This fact has but one serious
aspect. 1t reveals the gulf that yawns'
between the Republican committee,
and the great mass of intelligent and
patriotic Republicans.
The rank and file of Americans are.
opposed to the third-term idea. This
nation was founded on faith in repub-,
lican institutions, not in men of des-.
tiny. Individuals are as transitory as,
the snow falls in the river Only:
principles, and the laws and customs
which embody them, persist.
The question of Theodore Roose-
welt S strength or weakness, his stand
ing as living embodiment of truth,
modesty and judicial fairness need;
not enter here at all.
When the United States Govern
ment begins to turn to men as men,
to trust in persons rather than poll
cies, to seek the way out in times of
obscurity and hesitation through the
personal idiosyncrasies of an individ-;
ual leader rather than the temper and
convictions of the mass of his follow
ing, it will be too late to discuss pos
sible changes in government. The
government will have been changed
already.
We regret that any body of men in;
St. Louis has subscribed to an idea so
of a progressive and patri-
otto city. Republic.

Care of Flowers.

From the Woman q National Weekly
Cover the plants while sweeping to
protect them from the dust.
All bulbs coming into flower should
have a great deal of water,
go Bring your hyacinths from the cell
lar when you wish them to bloom.
Do not water house plants too Of
ten; once or twice a week is enough
for most kinds.
More plants are ruined by too much
water and too poor light than in any
other way.
Begin to force the Easter lily with
small doses Of manure water Or plant
food to induce Towering.
Send in seed orders early. 1t will
soon be time to start the half hardy
ANIMALS in the window garden.
Cultivate as many plants as you
have room for and you will discover
to your qualification that room will
grow with the floral habit.
The use of commercial plant food
on plants in the house will be found
much more desirable than stable ma
nures; it is clean to handle; is easily
applied and usually more satisfactory.
Sickly plants are not worth bother
ing with. Throw them out and start
afresh.
The Baby Primrose is recommend
ed as a plant that will bloom profuse-
ly throughout the season.
If your fuchsia is growing tall, and
does not seem inclined to branch, nip
the top off and branches will start.
Violets and carnations are about
the most profitable green house
flowers that can be grown and are
always seasonable and salable.
Be sure to give your plants fresh
air on all pleasant days. They need
it as much as you do. But do not let
cool winds blow directly on them.
Swinging is an excellent thing for
plants. Dust accumulates on them
even in the tidiest rooms, and dusty
plant is an unlovely object. Plants
owe cleanliness.

HEATING WATER FOR COWS
A. c. Page. College Of Agriculture,
University Of Missouri.

It is expensive 20 make COW drink
he-water. This applies especially to
cows that are expected to give milk
On cold, sleety morning when there
is an inch of ice Oh the trough and
the cows breath almost freezes in
chunks, she doesn't drink very much
water If she did she wouldn't get
over shivering in the whole day. And
yet if the COW is to produce milk she
must drink large amount OF water
more than any other animal, even the
camel.
If the COW is compelled to drink ice
water through hole in the ice, she
will heat the water up to body tenn
perature by using part of the feed
that she should be making into milk.
Accurate experiments have proved
that it is a good deal cheaper to heat
the water up to temperature so that
it is comfortable to drink, with few
chunks of wood and tank heater.
Some farmers having steel tanks sim.
ply build small fire under the tank
Besides being expensive and max
ing the COW give less milk, drinking
icy cold water is liable to give the
COW serious trouble in her digestive
apparatus. and will certainly weaken
her resisting powers and vitality.

The Seed Corn Situation for 1912

AuO oCOu will AolCudVlOlt 1Ol 1O1A
The Missouri College of Agriculture
is receiving numerous inquiries at the
present time as to where high class
seed corn can be secured. On &C.
count of the very unfavorable season
during the past year, much corn in
Missouri this year is of too poor a
quality to plant and many growers
wish to get better seed. In order to
supply this demand and to help those
farmers who have good seed to dis
pose of, as we'll as to enable others
to secure good seed, the College is
preparing list of seed corn growers
of Missouri. Blanks to be filled out
will be furnished upon application,
and all who have some high class
seed of one or more of the standard
varieties are urged to write for these
blanks so that we may be able to list
all Of the good seed available this
year.
Much seed will be poor this year
and We want to list only that Of high
class quality, seed that is pure, of a
standard variety that was gathered
early, we'll matured, sound and in
first-class condition. If you have any
such seed that you want to dispose
of, write for these blanks and we
shall be glad to refer some of these
inquiries to you.
In this connection, a word should
be said about testing seed corn this
year. 1t is always a good plan to test
seed for even in good year a great
deal of the corn planted is of weak
vitality and does not grow welL This
is more true than even this year.
The dry weather and late rains in
most sections of the State prevented
corn from ripening up properly.
Then heavy freezes came early when
a great deal of corn was full of moist
ure, and these heavy freezes have
bailey injured its vitality. Some will
not grow at all and large percent
age is weak. 1t will pay every farm
er in Missouri'to test every ear that
he plants, for if he does, he will un-
doubtedly find many ears which look
good, but so weak in vitality that he
will want to discard them. A little
time and labor spent in testing your
seed corn this spring will return big
profits next fall.
Everyone who buys seed this year
should buy it in the ear, so that it can
De tested. Don't expect show corn
md don't be disappointed if there
Ire not as many fancy ears in it as
,ou expected to find. High class
iced corn is hard to find this year,
