The westerners' Ideal.

The westerner's willingness to give up
home, neighbors and old associations for
the sake of a claim on the prairie is
not sordid. His stern preoceupation with
getting ahead" is part of his inherited
passion for personal independence
have seen gray hue steal over the face
of the settler when speaking of someone
who had "lost his farm" and chad TO go
out by the day" For the wage-earner's
lot the true-born westerner feels dread
quite incomprehensible to cities ond old
communities. If he ruthlessly sacrifices
comforts and culture, it is that he may
win footing of his own and so call no
man master. Once he has cleared of the
mortgage, improved his place, and gained
a soothing sense of financial security, he
will provide books, piano, music lessons,
travel and college education for his chill
dren, even if in the meantime his own
capacity to enjoy has been atrophied.--
From "The Middle West in February
Century.

The Sceptie.

He had no faith in doctors, they were
all quacks, he believed;
He looked upon their patients as poor
fools who were deceived;
He had no faith in preachers, nor in
what they had to preach;
They were nothing but impositors, he
insisted, all and each.
He said that officeholders were all scala
wags and crooks;
He thought that every banker kept a
set of doctored books;
He had no faith in people who declared
they were his friends;
He suspected them of wishing to fur
Their selfish ends.
He had no faith in heaven, nor in any
of the creeds,
He was rather doubtful even Of the good
of worthy deeds;
But one day foolish woman who was
full of wiles and lies
Won his faith, though others plainly saw
the wool pulled DER his eyes.

KENTUCKY PRODUCT" IN PERIL.
Model License League Opposes Extension
of Prohibition to Entire State.

Frankfort. Ky, Feb. 2l.AThe recent
decision of federal courts, permitting ex-
press companies to carry interstate ship
nents OF liquor into dry territory in
spite Of prohibitory state laws, is be-
ing used by the liquor interests Of Ken
lucky as an argument against the en-
actment of the pending bill, extending
the county unit to the entire state
This decision is cited in memorial,
signed by I. NJ. Gilmore, president of
the Model License league, which reached
the members of the legislature yester-
day. He makes the plea that under
that decision an extension OF the county
unit will amount to a discrimination
against Kentucky's own famous prod
uet, and urges that if the law is enact
ed it be so amended as to prohibit the
purchase or possession" of intoxicating
liquor in dry counties.

from previous kilograms he has sent,
that Wilson has carried three of the

BEST CROPS FOR VERMONT.
Considered by Prof. Borland at Farmers
Week in Burlington.

Burlington, Feb. 2l.-'Vermont hillsid,
/ pastures failed to supply enough nutri
| ents to maintain full flow of milk dur
! ing the season of heat and scant rain
T! fall" said Prof. A. A. Borland at the
| farmers week held at the university Of
| Vermont this week. "The problem Of
supplying large amount Of nutrition:
! food at low cost, or maintaining soil
fertility, and of increasing the number
Of animals for given acreage is largely
solved by the soiling SYSTEM he con
tinued.
Experiment station results indicate
that one acre of soiling crops Yields from
two to three times as much food as an
acre of pasture. Selling crops are al
lowed to become fairly well matured be-
fore being used, while pasture is eaten
in an immature stage and is not given
an opportunity to develop its leaf sur
face.
"The. crops to be grown for soiling
purposes depend upon local conditions.
For Vermont, rye is the earliest crop to
be had in the spring. While its food
value is not as great as some OF the
crops which follow, vet it is valuable,
since it comes at time when no other
crop is available. Wheat Immediately
follows rye and, while the yield is not
so great as from rye, it is very palatable
and owing to its large proportion of leaf
surface il remains succulent for some
considerable time. 1t has proven an ex-
cellent forage for the latter part of Nav
or early June.
alfalfa is ready for cutting about the
first of June. Without question, it is one
OF the best forage crops, for those that
can grow it. Owing to its high percent
age of protein, it serves the purposes of
materially reducing the amount of high
protein concentrates that must be pur
chased. Clover and mixed grasses give
an excellent combination for late June
forage Canada peas. and oats sown
at intervals of ten days during the latter
part of April supply forage in July,
when other crops are not usually avail
able. Millets have an important place
in the rotation, as they grow rapidly,
often maturing in As to so days after
planting. Barnyard millet sown the
middle of May is ready for feeding by
the first of August. Flint corn is par
ticularly valuable for forage purposes.
1t grows rapidly, has large proper.
ton of leaf and is very suceulent. Il
may furnish the forage for the latter
part OF August and early September.
Barley is the latest crop that can be
utilized for soiling. II is not injured By
light frost. and can be fed throughout
October. If barley is seeded with rye.
the latter makes a good growth in the
fall after the barley is harvested, and
starts early in the spring.
"A few standard crops that are we'll |

Plan Virtually Endorsed by the
Democrats
PETERS BILL IS FAVORED
Provides Tariff Bureau of Five Men,
bers--Work Would Be Less Elab-

pensive.

Washington, Feb. Representative
Peters introduced into the House Mon.
day bill providing for bureau OF
tariff statistics, consisting of five mem
bers, which is taken here as being an
| Official acknowledgement of the major
ity party, that the tariff board idea is
right. Although Mr.. Peters does not
definitely so state, it is apparent that
he never would have written the meas
IRE without the promised support of
Underwood. And the support of I'M
derwood means the passage by the House
OF the bill. The Peters bin would in
effect continue the work of the present
tariff board on a less elaborate and ex-
persive scale. AS explained in Mr.. Pet
ers' statement, the bureau would report
directly TO the ways and means com
mittee, which in the last analysis is
the body to frame tariff legislation. Not
the least OF the items of satisfaction
which the Democrats are laying stress
on to-day is the fact that they have put
Mr.. Taft into the hole of getting be-
hind their latest bill and helping shove
it through the Senate.
In discussing the bill Mr.. Peters said:

and it should have authority and con
troll over the board which collects the
