Displays the Oldest Flag.

Curiously enough, the United States,
while one of the youngest nations,
displays the Oldest flag. comparative
ly speaking.
The American flag in it's presnt form
was adopted in the year TIT, and the
only changes made in it since that
time have been the addition of new
stars for the new states as they came
into the Union. Our British cousins
often refer in affectionate terms to
their ensign as the flag that has
''braved q thousand years the battle
and the breeze" But they forget that
the Union Jack in its present form
only dates from 1901.
The French tricolor was adopted In
1794, the Spanish flag as now display
ed in 1855, while the German and
Italian flags are no older than the
empire and the kingdom, respectively.

Two additional locomotives Of identi-

Prolonged National Conventions.

The democratic national convention
at Baltimore, in which it required
fortv-six ballots to nominate q presi'
Dental candidate, did not make a new
record for prolonged proceedings.
The Muscular gives this review of
former political conventions that were
in session an unusual length of time:
The greatest number of ballots ever
taken in q national convention was
that required to nominate Stephen A.
Douglas in the democratic convention
OF 1860, when SO ballots were taken
before q choice was made. In 1872,
the democrats took 40 ballots before
they agreed upon Franklin Pierce.
The greatest number of ballots ever
taken in a republican convention was
that recorded in 1880, when Garfield
was nominated on the thirty-sixth bal
lot. The next highest was In 1888,
when eight ballots were taken before
Harrison was nomin ated. In 1876
Hayes was named on the seventh bal.
lot.
Until this year it was "a years since
more than five ballots had been re
CURED.
In 1853 and in 1872, Grant was nom
mated by reclamation. Cleveland

The American farmer must learn that
It Is not profitable to produce SO called
beef cattle that require four or more
years to develop, but must raise the
thick feshed, quick maturing cattle Of
the highest quality. The high prices
that have been paid during recent
years have never been handed out to
the owners Of "razorbacks." 1t is
steers that have the quality that bring
the extreme prices. 1t Is true that beef
cattle on many farms have made good
returns, but the pure bred products
&ave not.

TIMELY HINTS
FOR FARMERS
Work the Stallion.

LACK of exercise, with high feeding,
is the cause of Is per CEN of poor foal
getters." said DR.. c. w. McCampbell,
assistant in animal husbandry at the
Kansas Agricultural college. "Exer-
else stimulates and strengthens every
organ and function in the body. 1t is
very essential in keeping the animal in
good condition. The best kind Of ex-
ercise is honest labor in the harness.
Working the stallion not only improves
his health, but makes him more easily
handled.
I'm beginning to work stations it
must be remembered that the average
American stallion is more or less PAM
pered and is therefore soft and fat and
must become accustomed to work.
After he is once accustomed to work
he can do more than any other horse
on the place.
IF the keeper has no work for the
stallion he should drive him from four
to eight miles every day. in and out of
season. The animal should be allowed
to rest for an hour before breeding.
Some owners work their stations only
half a day at a time during the season.

POLITICS AND PROSPERITY.

A matter which has o~ccasioned q
good deal OF favorable comment OF
late is the surprising Improvement
that has been taking place IN general
business conditions in the face OF q
political eitu alton that may fairly be
described as seething, says the Com
mercial Bulletin. Experience had
prepared the industrial and CONNER
cial world certainly for some degree OF
abatement in business activity. Ac-
cording to precedent, capital should
be reluctant for the time being to en-
gage In Q new enterprise, merchants
should be unwilling to place orders
for commodities, except on the most
alive scale, the stock market
should give frequent exhibitions OF
pronounced weakness and the entire
business community should be per-
meated with a feeling Of uncertainty
and apprehension.
Instead, the period which has
elapsed since the first of the year has
been one of pretty steady expansion in
almost all departments of industrial
and commercial activity, and while II
we're absurd to say that the presiden.
tial contest now under way is not ex-
erting some influence on the business
situation, the fact remains that all
the signs warrant the belief that the
country is entering upon an era of
good times.
What is undoubtedly at the bottom
of all this animation is the country's
splendid crop prospects, the indica.
tons being that the wealth to be
wruug from the soil this year will be
little If any less than the record break
ing magnitude. Assured prosperity
for the farming class almost invar'
iably spells prosperity for all other
classes, and hence it is quite natura
that the promise of vast agricultural
wealth should make for q marked
stimulation ia general business enter
prise. OF course politics would send
q chill through the business WORLD
and Immediately change the prospects
IT vicious governmental measures were
advocated which seemed likely to mee'
with the approval Of the people at the
polls, but il the present confident
attitude of the business world is
reliable indication of the sentiment o.
the country, the. party which Is pre-
pared to urge such measures stands
little chance of being entrusted with
the powers of government.

OF EAR CORN
FOR YOUNG HOGS
Experiments Prove It Best Way
to Feed This GRAIN

1t is gratifying to the busy farmer to
know that a corn is the best form In
which to feed this grain. The Iowa
experiment station has conducted sew
eral trials covering a period of three
years in which we compared ear corn
with dry shelled, soaked shelled, dry
ground and soaked ground. 1t was
found that dry ear corn was fed with
the least waste and that the hogs eat
ing it made the most economical
gains. In 1907 100 pounds of dry ear
corn made as much pork as 112 pounds
of shelled corn soaked t%wenty-four
hours or 122 pounds of cornmeal soak
ed twelve hours. The dry shelled and
| the dry meal were even less efficient
| than the soaked meal.
Whether the corn was fed dry or
| soaked a bushel of corn ground with
out the cob made much more pork than
a bushel of corn ground grain, cob and
all.
Summarizing, the results for the last
two years showed that with strong
young pigs, during their first six
months Of life, there was a saving OF
over 6 per cent Of the corn by feeding
it in the eur instead of Smelling and
soaking it; a saving Of over 10 per cent
to "a per cent by feeding it in the eal
instead Of Smelling and grinding 1t.
After the hogs reached 200 pounds
In weight, however, soaked shelled II
season was the most profitable form II
which to feed the corn. Soaked corn
meal came next in rank.-Farm an(

Cause of Poor Stock.

It is our belief that poor care con-
tributes more toward poor stock than
does poor breeding, says Kansas Farm
er. The best of breeding is a failure
unless supported by good care and
good feeding. These are necessary to
make blood tell. Common to inferior
blood. with good feed and care, will re-
suit in gain and profit in excess Of the
best breeding with poor feed and poor
care. The best cross to be made on
many herds is that Of the ommon
stock already OF the farm with the
corn crib and alfalfa stack.

MAY o INCOME TAX.

The proposition to give congress
power to enact an income AK without
spportioning it among the states, and
without regard to any count OF the
population, is moving ahead slowly,
but it is moving. Thirty-.hree legis-
latures have now ratified 1t, the latest
of these, that of Minnesota, having
acted a few days ago. 1t must get the
support of three additional al states be-
fore it car become q part OF the con-
stitution. Six or seven states are still
to act upon it, about half OF them be-
ing western states. Out of this number
the proposition will probably get
enough supporters to put it into effect,
says the Globe Democrat.
This has been slow work. The
amendment proposition was submitted
to the states in the summer OF 1909,
but lack Of interest 10 the subject de-
layed action, except in the case Of a
few states, for over o year. In several
instances one branch OF q Legislature
has rejected the proposition and later
on reconsidered its coure and ratified
it. In this way the total 10 its favor
has been mounting slowly but steadily
From present indications enough
states will have sanctioned it by thu
end Of 1912 to place it in the organic
law.
The income tax will be the sixteenth
amendment to the constitution. Prob
ably the proposition to elect Unite
States senators by a direct vote of tn
people of the respective states will b
the seventeenth amendment. Th
Massachusetts legislature ratified til

Soil Fertility.

Every soil to be fertile and to be
easily cultivated must have consider
able organic matter, commonly called
humus. Without plenty Of organic mat
ter it will not produce large crops, no
matter how much chemical plant food
is added. Humus is favorable for soil
organisms which convert inert matter
into soluble plant food. It aerates tn.
soil, retains water and makes 1t pos
sible for the roots Of plants to obtain
nOuriShment.
