rushed in with vengeance.
Clear Up All Contests.
All of the contested delegates, in
Guiding the " who, Colonel Roosevelt
charges, were given a fraudulent title
by the outgoing national committee
were seated. The Roosevelt men, rea,
liking the futility, made no effort to
oppose the will of the majority.
The anticipated warm fight over
matters pertaining to changes in the
national convention rules was side,
tracked by laying on the table without
ceremony the entire report of the
rules committee. Thus the question
of southern representation will re,
main a vexatious problem for four
years hence.
With the rules fight avoided, the ma.
jority and minority reports of the
platform committee were taken up and
disposed of in a hurry. The only mi.
nority report came from the La Fol.
iette members of the committee on
resolutions. Some Of the Roosevelt
delegates, notably large majority OF
the Illinois delegation, voted for the
majority report framed by the Taft
forces, but most of them refrained
from voting at all on the platform
The platform was adopted by vote
of 666 to SO, 343 delegates being pres,
ent and not voting.
Bitterness was intense at some
stages of the fight. Two fistic encoun.
tiers occurred on the floor, one between
members of the Illinois delegation and
the other between a Taft man and a
Roosevelt man in another part of the
hall, the former having taken umbrage
at the latter's application Of an epithet

maiden aunts know very little about

FILLING THE SOUTHERN sILo
Southern Dalryman Has for Years
Harvested 80 Tons Of Green For
age Crops to the Acre.

A dairyman In southern Virginia.
who has for many years been building
up the fertility of his land and at the
same time endeavoring to ascertain
the limit Of productivity with forage
crops on his place, has for several
years been harvesting fully 80 tons OF
green forage crops to the acren using
no fertilizer save stable manure.
OF which he uses a liberal quantity
each year.
This farmer has II acres under cul-
tivation from every acre of which
he takes two crops yearly. Wheat is
sown in the fall and put into the silo
the following May; corn is sown in
June and put into the silo the follow
ing October. He sows two bushels of
wheat to the acre in four successive
sowings. about a week apart, and
plants corn In the same way, so that
the crops are ready for the 'silo one
after the other and not all together.
There are two silos of 125 tons each
capacity on the place and both are
filed to tee top annually. The owner
estimates that II costs him 81 to grow
an acre of wheat for silage apd 81 to
put 1t into the silo His wheat was
so dense and tall last season that be
could cut only 16-inch swath at each
clip. Corn costs Sc per acre to grow
and 81 to put it into the silo This
makes both wheat and corn in the
silo cost less than 81 per ton.
Cowpeas are sown on the land
from which the earliest corn is taken,
usually by the 10th Of August. and
gives three crops on the land for the
year.

IN LESS STRENUOUS TIMES
Explanation Of the Difference Be-
tween Domestic Standards Now
ano Those Of Long Ago.

In the Woman's Home Companion
there is an interesting presentation of
the difference that exists between the
domestic standard Of young married
women Of today ard those Of the past
generation. How did the women Of
the middle class of a generation or
two ago manage when they could not
keep help? Following is the answer
quoted from a Companion editorial:
They lived according to their
means; they did not set up impossible
standards. and they knew much less
about the science Of bringing up chill
dren. They had no special style to
keep up: gave the children weekly
bath; kept the table set between
meals; did not serve their meals in
courses. but put all the food on the
table at once; confined their social
affairs to evening calls and parties,
and church suppers. at which they
wore the same black silk dress for at
least two seasons; in short, every
woman did only what she could, and
her friends made it easier for her by
doing likewise"
