Regardless Of party or fractional
lines the central western states now
know that eastern bred and educated
presidents have governed the United
| States long enough. and that the in
terests Of the middle west will not be
the subject Of much concern until q
president from this district is elected.
says the Sioux City Tribune. Iowa has

Of a native son, to bring the presi-
dency of the United States west of the

shame and loss if 1t fails it's duty"

"As to Kenyon" says the Nevada
Representative. speaking of the sena.

convention. his position appears to be
that he supports Cumuins without as
sisting him and eulogizes Taft without
supporting him. Kenyon lives in the
Tenth district and evidently feels I'M

"The time will come when an appeal

THE COUNTRY MERCHANT.
rSioux CITY Tribune,l


Country merchants who feel that
they will be injured by parcels post,
should not miss the point that without
a parcels post delivery they have seen
the trade of catalog houses grow great
and the number Of those institutions
multiply. This indicates clearly that a
parcels post is not the only source OF
prosperity Of the catalog house. and
it suggests that it may not be of any
special advantage to the direct selling
concern. The buyer may save some
thing by the post system and be there
by enabled to deal more literally with
the home merchant
There is reinsurance in the thought,
anyhow, that the competition has been
on for long While and that the coun-
try merchant has survived it, He Is
useful; he is necessary, and he will re-
main, catalog house or no cataloS
house, parcels post or no parcels post.

FormaIdshyds and Seed.

We have an inquiry concerning the
use of formaldehyde for treating po-
tatoes for scab and the seed grains for
smuts and disease germs. One pound,
or pint, of 40 per cent formaldehyde in
solution with thirty gallons Of water Is
the right proportion for treating pota :
toes. A labor saving method of treat
ing them is to have two or more bar
rels set on blocks or a low bench hav-
ing plugs or taps near the bottom of
each. FIJI the barrels with potatoes
and cover them with the solution Of
formaldehyde. Allow them to remain
in the liquid one and one-half or two
hours, which will kill the scab germs
on the tubers.
Draw off the solution by removing
the plug from the barrel and use it to
fill others that you wish to treat. as the
liquid may be used again and again
and not lose its strength. The tubers
that have been treated may be spread
to dry and Immediately cut and pre-
pared for planting. II they are put
into sacks, they TOO should be treated
to destroy scab germs that may adhere
to them, which would again infect the
potatoes. If the soil contains scab

The smal1 grains are Treated to de-
stroy smut on the seed by using one
pound, or pint. of the formaldehyde-
40 per cent-in solution with forty five
gallons Of water. The grains may be
treated by using machines made ex-
pressly for the purpose or dipped in
the solution or sprinkled as the grower
desires. Wheat will absorb about one
gallonsfor each bushel Oats and bar
ley require nearly double the quantity,
where flax will not take more than
one half gallon to the bushel. The
grains should be piled and covered
with sacks or blankets for a few hours
after treating to secure the full effects
of the gas which is the destructive
agent in the formaldehyde. The water
absorbed by the grains will increase
their bulk about 20 per cent. which
must be considered when they are
seeded. We advise treating the day
before the grain is needed for sowing.
1t may heat and thus injure germina-
ton while damp.

= In the spring Of the year when the
roads become muddy, and the barn
floors, corrals, and stalls, get wet and
dirty, the skin Of the extremities OF
horses Is exposed to the irritation OF

The most important fact to call at
tention to is that Nth Is the most ac-
tive Of these agents, and can be con-
trolled by the person in charge Of the
livestock.
The coarse breeds Of horses, espe-
cially those with white feet, are most
subject to the disease.
The prevention Of disease is not al
ways spectacular but 1t Is of far more
Importance than the cure.
In regard to the stall. keep It free
from holes which collect urine and

Hay Shrink. From ? to Sc Per Cent.

In an article on the shrinkage Of hay
published in the current issue Of Farm
and F'ireside. the author says in part:
THE hay-grower must consider
shrinkage in making plans for winter
and spring shipment Of hay. I have
found that hay will shrink all the way
from to Sc per cent in its weight. OF
course, some Of this shrinkage takes
place II the summer and fall, and can
not all be charged to winter shrinkage
For instance. I had one lot Of hay that
showed total shrinkage from the time
Of curing until November Of only 3.5
per cent, and another lot that reached
10 per cent. Still third lot showed,
after reweighing, only per cent in the
spring.
I'm studying the shrinkage Of hay,
one must consider the character Of the
hay and the season. A good many
farmers do not weigh their hay before
storing, and then again before shipping.
Consequently they can only guess at the
shrinkage This Is q mistake. for 1t Ii
Impossible to gain correct knowledge
Of the amount OF loss. I remember one
particular instance in very wet seas
on. when a friend cut 400 pounds of
clover-hay and kept 1t for one whole
year, owing to the low prices ofered
for It, and when he reweighed 1t, the
shrinkage had reached nearly 80 per
cent. In such . case. It is doubtful II
the returns equaied those he would
have obtained had he sold 1t at once
after cutting.
"There are Instances Of hay actually
gaining in weight when stored, but this
Is unusual, and depends. imagine.
good deal upon the climate. For In
stance. I remember reading a number
Of years ago a report Of an expert
ment made at the Utah experimental
station, where stack OF hay gained
10 per cent in weight from the time It
was cured until the following April.
Now I should Judge that this was due
more to the climate than to anything
else. and the results would not be
fair guide TO farmers In other parts OF
the country This was stack OF
clover hay. and IL was kept outdoors
instead OF in the barn"

horse. on ordinary dry stable fare,
should have a total Of thirty pounds
per day. The amount Of grain which
they require mainly depends upon how
hard the horses are worked. and the
quantity to be given will consequently
range within fairly wide limits in diff
ferent cases.
Having apportioned this, the balance
Of the daily rations must then be made
up with enough fodder-that Is. hay
and straw, chopped, or long-to obtain
a sufficient food ration. The quantity
Of grain that is fed should always gov
ern the amount Of the fodder allowed.
and not vice versa, for grain forms the
basis Of the diet for working horses.
Two bushels Of oats are reckoned a
good weekly allowance for farm horses,
and oftentimes they get no more than

How to Kill Quaek Grass.
The department of agriculture has
recently issued Farmers Bulletin No.
4S4 on THE Eradication OF Quack
Grass" Quack grass is well known
to most farmers all the way from the
Atlantic to the Pacific in ATTITUDES
north Of the Ohio and Potomac rivers.
It is one of the most serious weed
pests known in America The grass
grows under great many different
names. among them couch grass and
witch grass.
The author of this bulletin has spent
a number Of years making q close
study Of the grass under field condi-
lions all over the northern United
States. Based on this thorough knowl-
edge Of the field habits Of the grass,
experimental work was started. which
quickly resulted in q complete, cheap,
and practical method of Graduating the
pest.
Farmers' Bulletin 4s4 embodying this
work can be had by applying to your
senator. congressman, or directly to the
department Of agriculture at Washing
ton.
