w. J. Bryan from Chicago 1t was en-

The names of Senator Kern of lndi-

as were most talked about as the like
" opponents of the jurist in this Sec
ond stage of the contest between the
progressives and the so-called conser-
vatiyes. The friends Of Mr.. Bryan
claimed that the national committee
would be found to be about evenly di-
vided while National Chairman Mack
again asserted that judge Parker will
have a secure majority.
Suggestions were made in authorl-
tative quarters Sunday night that a
movement would be started to name
Mr.. Bryan as permanent chairman, but
Mr.. Bryan's close friends say that
the Nebraskan is not looking for the
honor. That Nv. Bryan will he a mem

Clark Forces For Parker.

AT the Clark headquarters the lead.
ers We're making every effort to ascer-
tain how the delegations instructed
for Speaker Clark would vote on the
question of temporary chairman. The
Clark leaders do not deny that thes
hope to see Judge Parker elected tea
porary chairman, and they expect the
New York delegation and its friends
to join them in bringing about the
nomination of Mr.. Clark for presi-
dent.
j; was authoritatively stated that
while the Clark leaders expected
without any doubt that all the delega
tions pledked TO the speaker would
carry out their instructions on the
presidential nomination, they are not
certain how the delegation will vote
on collateral issues. A Clark manager
said Sunday night that until further
stage in the fight had been reached
it would be impossible to obtain a
correct line on what those delegations
with strong progressive tendencies
would do in regard to voting on the
temporary chairmanship.
The Tennessee delegation is not
bound by the unit rule, and its mem
bers favor various candidates. 1t was
learned Sunday night that an effort
would be made in caucuses TO have
National Committeeman Mondell vote
against the naming of Judge Parker.
National Committeeman Wade OF
Iowa was unable to say how the Iowa
delegation would vote on the tempo
rary chairmanship. The Iowa delega-
ton is instructed for Clark, but this is
binding only SO far as it concerns the
candidate.

Senator elect James X Vardaman
of Mississippi expressed the opinion
that peace would come out of the situ-
alton ,and that Mr.. Bryan was too
reasonable man to permit such 4
minor matter as the temporary chair
manship to bring on a serious fight.

former Governor Vardaman, and tell

over the temporary chairman. After

vegetable substances. Butcher and
table scraps given when fresh are the
main reliance. The food should not
be sailed, and fresh water should be
supplied regularly.
Skunks are especially fond of in
sects, and if the pens are large
enough and favorably placed, the ami
mails will forage for a part of their
food.
At least an acre of ground should
be inclosed for each fifty skunks, and
even then there is danger of canni-
balism unless there are plenty of
separate dens for the females. The
fence should be made of poultry net
ting 1 12-inch mesh. The posts should
be set in bitches IS inches or more
in depth, which should be filled with
broken stone or concrete. Another
plan is to extend the wire netting
underground. The fence should be
three or four feet high and have an
overhang at the top to keep the ami
mails from climbing over.
Skunks breed once year and pro-
duce from six to eight young. They
are born in May or June, and mature
by December.
The citizen. (Frederick City, Md.) 1895-1923, 1912-04-12

Many attempts have been made to
raise skunks for their fur, but the en-
terprises have usually been given up
as Improbable. According to the bio
logical survey of the United States
department of agriculture, the chief
causes of failure have been cost of
fencing Enclosures, cost of mainte-
nance or lack Of experience, leading
to overcrowding and overlooking the
animals. In many cases, where the
animals were successfully reared, it
was found that the expense of feed
ing them to maturity exceeded the
value of the fur, while in other in
stances the antipathy of the neigh
bors led to the abandonment of the
experiments. At present the value of
the best black skins would probably
allow margin of profit in rearing
this class of skunks. The survey
gives the following hints on skunk
farming:
In the matter q Aood, the chief aim
should be to supply suitable and suf-
fcient diet at reasonable cost. A GER

ClydesdaIe FiIIy "Thelma Second"

Farmers in the south still cling
to the light breeds of horses, mainly
because there is more horseback rid
Ing done, and the average farmer
wants a horse for all-around pur-
poses.
In the north, the heavy breeds, such
as the Percherons, Clydes and Shires
are most generally used.
The wise farmer will raise the type
of horse best adapted to his needs.
Generally speaking, where only one
team can be kept on the farm, the
| horses should be sizeable enough to
pull pillow or draw a heavy wagon
load with comparative ease, and at
the same time light enough to get
along over the road with a surrey or
light rig at fairly good gait.
If farmer keeps a number of
horses he will, of course, use the
heavy type for blowing and other
heavy farm work, and keep a light
harness team for the road.
1t is a great mistake to attempt to
pillow with a team of horses of the
harness type. Farmers are blowing
deeply these days, and it is distressing
to see light team struggling with a
heavy pillow.
The general tendency, therefore, is,
when a light team is used, to allow
the pillow to skim the ground in order
to ease up on the team. If team
of sturdy draft horses, weighing 1900
to 1900 each is used, they walk along
with pillow, running from six to eight
inches deep, without the slightest dis
tress.

Selection of Animals.

Success in beef production is due,
as it is in any other branch of farm
ing, to close attention to the business
details, chief among which is careful
selection of well-bred and mature
sire from one of the beef breeds, pre-
ferably from that breed most COM
monty represented in the neighbor-
hood. Such a selection is likely to re-
suit in a good grade of stock Of kind
