WHAT TAFT's MANAGERS CLAIM.

The managers of President Taft's campaign for
denomination claim $50 out of a total of 1916
votes in the republican national convention. 1t
is not blanket assertion they make but am
itemzed forecast according to states and that
there is some reason to believe that they are
not overestimating the presidents strength is in
Dictated by the counting of CALIFORNIA; &c dele
gates undoubtedly part of the opposition
We believe these 20 votes will be for Taft hence
we are inclined to regard the total his friends
strike as no than that which he can egi-
timately base his confidence of against being
made the party's candidate
Interesting the figures the president S man,
ayers give out In 80 states and all the terri
tories they lay claim to large majority of the
delegates. These states and territories and their
strength in the convention set forth as
follows
Alabama, "a; New Jersey, Is; Arizona, g. New
Mexico g. Arkansas IS; New York 90 Colo
RADIO, II; North Carolina, "a; Connecticut, IA;
Ohio, As; Delaware, 6; Oklahoma 20; Florida u;
Pennsylvania rs; Georgia. 2S; Rhode Island, 10;
Idaho, 8; South Carolina, Is; Illinois, So; Ten
nessee "a; Indiana 30; Texas, 40; Kentucy 26:

ippines, 2; Nebraska l6; Porto Rico, 2; Nevada
g. New Hampshire s. total $40
From the above total Of $40 Representative
Mckinley and Secretary IIilles make allowances
for OBJECTIONS. They expect to see some of the
delegates of Illinois go to Roosevelt and are igur-
ing that they will suffer losses in both Michigan
and Ohio. They concede at least a third of
Pennsylvania Is delegates to the Colonel and
are prepared to West Virginia 5 delegation
split. But III making these allowances they are
liberal enough to admit that of the total of 90
perhaps 100 will be against Taft. Absolutely
against him also they list the following states
Iowa, %; Kansas, 20; North Dakota 10; South
Dakota TO- Wisconsin, 26 California %; Min
nesoa, "a; Oregon, 10; Washington, a.
Some of the presidents friends believe that
he will make mroads upon the opposition s
strength in Iowa; are confident that he will
get the delegation from California; hence the
claim of $40 delegates does not seem to be
excessive although it will be sharply disputed
by those that Roosevelt can overcome
the prejudice against'a third term.
With the of progresSveness" in the
republican party now under cloud and no
leader in the field whom the opposition to
Taft concentrate its strength, the policy of
anything to beat Taft" does not appear to
have much beside talk behind it. That the sit
uation will not materially change before the con
vention is our prediction

CHINA SEEKING RECOGNITION.

In plain, straightforward terms abstaning
from all the verbiage in which such communica-
tions often are written the Chinese Republic as
ISOLATION which is the central organization and
representative body of all Chinese anti-imperal-
lists in the western world, has asked the govern
ment of the United States the first of world pow
ers to give formal recognition to the now exist
ing republic of China. 1t is fitting in sub
stance says the petition that the great republic
OF the west be first to extend a hand of welcome
to the new but already great republic of the east
Sentimentally, such action by the United States
would be fitting 1t would be to extend hand
across the sea to sister state but Just entered
upon the career of hopeful ambition which com
meneed for us in 1176 with trials maybe far
greater than ours before her. and certainly with
greater troubles but just brought to close
Looking to the material good that must fol-
low when stable government has been
re-established for the hundreds of millions of
people of China word of friendly recognition
OF the patriots now may easily be coined into
gold at a later date, through the trade that
must develop as the Influences of the new civil
izaton reach over the ancient country.

of their provisional president DR. Sun Vat Sen

IN their government, acknowledge debt TO the

inspiration and the incentive to strive for freedom
ana liberty at their own people, and they have
patterned their government after ours
true bond of sympathy has been forged
The people of the worlds two greatest republics

be but an act expressive of the sentiments of the
American people should our government at once

There never was time when so
much effort was being made to dispose
of the coarse products of the farm as
now, and in most cases the farmer is
seeking to sell his hay and grain in
stead of feeding it out on the farm.
No greater mistake can be made
than to follow such system of farm
ing. 1t is this method, however,
which was followed in the early his
tory of every agricultural section from
the Atlantic to the Pacific, and was
abandoned only after the hard school
of experience had demonstrated the
folly of the practice. "A majority of
the farmers of Wisconsin, Minnesota,
the Dakotas, Iowa and nearly every
other state of the middle west, were
mortgaged to the limit, until the far
mers began to depend more upon
converting the coarse products of the
farm into animal products. Dairying
and the live stock industry has caused
many section, where hope of making
a success had almost vanished, to be-
come prosperous and happy. Since the
earliest dawn of civilization it has
been necessary to continually preach
this doctrine, and yet there are men
who do not see and will persist in sell

ing four and five dollar hay to others
who make money feeding it to the
same class of stock to which he might
feed it at home. Alfalfa hay shipped
east this year is being fed to dairy
cows at cost of $500 per ton, and
butter fat selling for rs to 80 cents
per pound. If the man who milks
COWS in New York state can afford
to feed such high priced material how
is it that farmers in Idaho can not
make some profit where the hay is
grown and is worth only one-ffth as
much as it is in the east.
There is no reason, and some of
them are doing we'll feeding cows and
other classes of stock. Columella, the
ancient Roman writer on agriculture,
who lived in the first century A. D.,
saw the need of feeding more stock
on the farm He could see the folly of
continuous grain growing in western
Asia, in his day, and advocated the
rotation of crops with live stock as an
important factor. Fitzherbert, an
early English writer for agricultural
journals was instrumental in getting
the English farmers to grow more
stock which practice has been follow
ed successfully ever since.
We do not need to get SO far away,
nor go so far back in history to find
examples of success in feeding more
Of the products of the farm rather
than to sell them off the farm. In
the west those communities which,
owing to lack of shipping facilities.
have been compelled to feed live
stock are, as rule, more prosperous
than many others where the practice
has been followed of selling every
thing off the farm in the sack or in
the bale, instead of on the hoof or
in concentrated animal products. In
tensive farming. such as high priced
land demands, must result in utilizing
all the by-products possible and this
can only be done when there is suffi-
cient live stock to consume this ma
terial. The wise orchardist is the
one who is prepared to take care of
the low grade and Gull fruit, and so
the prosperous farmer must be pre-
pared to convert the low priced
coarse products of the soil into higher
priced animal products.

A stranger who came over from
Silver City in the stage said there was
much snow in the Owyhee mountains.
He said on one occasion the driver
had to dig down Is feet in the snow

horses, he states, they had to let
them down to the pool by their tails.
