State Fair Horse Entries Are Many.
The horse parades at the Wisconsin
state fair this year will be of the
genuine Rosa Bonheur variety. The
entries show that in addition to fine
representation from the unexcelled
Badger stock farms, many Of the
finest grand prize winners from all
parts OF the United States will be in
attendance, many of course, for show
purposes only.
The display of draft horses will ex-
eel an ever held in the middle west.
Many Of the horses, in addition to be-
ing exhibited for individual equine
merit, will take part in special attrac-
ton performances. For this s>lrS>-,t-
lar purpose several two, four and six
horse teams have been listed Nota-
BILE in this class is the grand prize
winning SiX-in-hand owned by Morris
& Co, Chicago. This team has taken
prizes and medals in many parts of
the country. This not only is a per-
fectly matched sextette of horses, but
the animals have been trained in diff
t1cult stunts which require them to
work individually and collectively,
with and without harness.
The entry lists now show $50 horses
and 531 cattle. The total number of
exhibitors in the two departments is

Camp Douglas.-One of the worst
wrecks which ever occurred on the
Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul, Mime
apolis & Omaha railroad took place
about two miles east of here when
the train ran into a washout, re-
sulting in the death of four persons,
six persons seriously injured and a
score or more slightly cut and
bruised and suffering from shock
Most of the latter are women.
The dead are: Thompson, engi-
neer; Abraham, fireman; Lee, bag
gagaman, and mail clerk, name un-
known.
The train had been tagged at Tun-
mel City on account of washout just
west of Elroy and later was ordered
to back up to this city. When the
train reached Lemonweir river, it
found the high bridge and banks on
both sides gone, and plunged into
the whirling mass of water below
That so many escaped death, con-
sidering the fact that all of the
coaches plunged into the river and
piled up, is miraculous.
The smoking car was carried sew
eral hundred feet downstream, but

all it's occupants escaped.

ting more money, spending money and
having more money to put by than
in this very year Of 1912.
There is not another land in all the
world where the conditions are as
good as they are in this land of ours.
Prosperity, abundant and distribut
ed, blesses the nation.
PEACE, PROGRESS, PROTECTION,
PROSPERITY.
Is it any wonder that the men of
Michigan want these continued? Is
it any wonder that they evidence en-
thusiasm for the man and the party
that have brought these conditions?
What did the opponents of this man
and this party bring to the country?
They try to belittle the results of the
present administration. What were
the conditions when the critics were
in the places now occupied by the Re
publicans?
Have people forgotten the days of
1898? Too many of US remember
when the common laborers who in
this time of ours are getting 1925
and $3.50 for eight or nine hours
work were desperately and often vain
ly hunting the chance to work twelve
hours, any number of hours, for 80
cents. when they stood hungry in the
Campus Martius and pitiably pleaded
for work of any kind to keep them
selves and their families from starVa-
ton, when work was not to be had
and the soup kitchen and potato
patch were their only salvation.
We saw scenes almost as distress
ing in 1907 right here in Detroit. Then
the government of the city was
stormed by procession of idle men,
demanding the Inauguration of public
enterprises that they might earn
few dollars to avert hunger. Has
anybody forgotten the days of 1907?
Is it strange that sane men want to
continue the conditions of the present
time? This is the reason why the
names of the Republican party and of
President Taft brought the great as
sembly of delegates to their feet with
shouts last Tuesday.
They want Peace, Progress, Protec-
ton, Prosperity.
They want no more Poverty, no
more Prostitution, no more Panics.-

LIVE STOCK AS HOME GRAIN
MARKET MAKERS.

In talking with Professor Hunziker,
Chief of the Department Of Dairy Hus-
bandry at Purdue, on the subject of
Live Stock on the Farm, as profitable
market makers for the farm grain
products, the Professor gave the fol-
lowing interesting table on possible
corn consumption by dairy cattle alone
in Indiana
He said: 4 have not the necessary
statistics within reach to estimate
what portion of the corn crop Of our
state is consumed by dairy cattle or
that By beef cattle, but take for in.
stance, as an estimate, according to
the United States census report for
1910, the corn crop in Indiana aver
aged 1913 bushels Per acre. 1t is es-
timated that with this yield, that the
acre will produce about ten tons of
corn silage. The average COW eats
during the year (about eight months)
six tons Of corn silage, containing
about twenty-thTee and one-half bush
els Of corn. The average COW posi-
bly, receives four pounds Of corn meal
daily eight months of the year,
amounting to fourteen bushels of com.
Thus the total corn consumed per COW
in the State would average thirty-sey-
en- and one-half bushels; as we have
666, 600 dairy COWS in Indiana. the dairy
consumption would amount to about
24,975,000 bushels annually.
The man on the farm who is fgur-
ing like any man who is engaged in
commercial pursuits must is no doubt
winning success as a result, and the
man who takes advantage of such
splendid education as that afforded by
the National Dairy Show at Chicago
each year, will have laid before him
the latest result Of the work of his
fellow men in every department of
dairying that will make for an increase
in profit from his operations

BY THEIR FRUITS"
TAFT'S ADMINISTRATION HAS
GIVEN PEACE, PROGRESS, PRO
lection, PROSPERITY.
FIRST IS OURS WITH HONOR
Nation Has Gone Safely and saneIy
Forward, Industry and Labor Have
Been Protected and Abundant Pros
perity Biesses the Land.

What was the meaning Of the ex-
uberant enthusiasm displayed at the
Republican state convention in De-
troit this week? Grown men, coming
from their daily routine of business
details, do not leap to their feet and
shout with vehement uproar unless
they have a reason for their actions
These delegates from every part of
Michigan were passionately in earnest
about something. They were ardent
ablaZe with desire-for what? When
the name of the president was spoken
they burst into Vociferous reclamation
When they heard the suggestion that
the Republican party continue it's adj
mtnistration they indorsed it bYasne
most emphatic utterance at thei -
mand Why did they want another
term for President Taft? What is it
in the first term Of this president that
aroused these sensible, shrewd men
Of Michigan?
Mr.. Taft's first term has brought
PEACE. The nation has had four
years of tranquil relations with the
world. 1t has been Peace with honor.
America stands today pre-eminent on
earth. Her diplomacy has been firm,
conserving the due rights of the Unit
ed States, infringing on the rights of
none, defending with dignity what is
our own, asking nothing that is not
our own. Peace at home and abroad
that is one result of the last four
years of Republican control of the
nations government.
1t has been a time of PROGRESS.
In federal and state affairs there has
been no backward step. Safely and
sanely we have gone ahead. The lot
of the less fortunate has been improv-
ed. Our laws have been adjusted to
bring more equitable distribution OF
burdens. Not in all the reckless de
mands of agitators but in every way
that experienced and wise Judgment
indicated to be for the betterment Of
our relations with one another the
course of events has been onward
and upward. Progress is a second re-
suit Of this administration efforts.
PROTECTION has been maintained.
The industries of the nation have been
safeguarded from disastrous compe-
tition with alien peoples. The laborer
has been saved from disastrous reduc-
ton of wages to the level of foreign
lands. He enjoys the highest return
for his work that is received any
where on earth. He has abundant op-
portunity for occupation, for our man
ufactories are busy and their demand
for workers is incessant. The employ
er and the farmer are equally content.
They are making good returns on
their investments. They find mar
ket for all they can produce. and they
can pay liberal wages to their en-
ployes and still satisfy themselves
with their returns.
The sum of all these is PROSPER
ITY. Throughout the land all are
busy, all are content

American history when men were get

LABOR IN GREAT DEMAND
It Is Constantly Employees at Higher
Wages Than Ever Before Have
Been Paid.

Facts and figures may not be more
eloquent than words, but they are
more convincing and much more
pleasing to the man who tolls for a
living.
When one trade journal after an
other. in discussing the present indus
trial situation, reports activity not
manifested in many years, an insist
emit demand for labor and increases in
wages. the Iaborer well satisfied, there
is no need of a change in the head OF
our government, for President Taft
and the Republican party have been
instrumental in bringing about the era
Of prosperity.
The steel industry alone is adyertis,
ing and sending out calls for 5000
needed men. The plants are being
worked to full capacity of the present
labor supply, stocks of pig iron are
being reduced, and the demand by
railroads and other consumers Is
large and urgent. In the furniture, au
tomobile and numerous other indus
tries a dearth of available labor IL
keenly felt.
And then talk about electing Wilson
or Roosevelt and change this? Never"
