adverse or otherwise, as the Hereford.
The Hereford is natural born grazer
and rustler and has the habit of adapt
ing himself to conditions as he finds
them. He makes himself at home in
the west. the southwest or northwest,
where grasses are often short and
scattered, water not too plenty and the
extremes of climate often, to say the
least. not the most comfortable. New
ertheless. he adapts himself naturally
to what he finds, turns out. makes the
best of it and gets down to business.
The prominence and recognition the
Hereford enjoys today are not due to
boosting nor to the bolstering up by
rich breed association, but has been
won inch by inch strictly on his mer-
its as a grazer breeder, feeder, butcher
carcass and money maker generally.
Further. think could state without
fear Of contradiction that the Hereford
breed Of cattle are the nearest to being
immune from disease. especially tuber-
culosis. Of any recognized breed of cat
tie on the American continent today.
The Hereford as a beef animal is
ready to put in the feed lot at any
age and will have been fitted and gone
to the butcher before the calf from the
dual purpose COW has grown sufficient
ly to put in the feed lot.
The Hereford gives enough milk and
or rich enough qualify to raise its Off
spring in fire shape. and this is all that
can be claimed for the Scotch Short
horns. which are .tf1e beef models Of
that breed today.

The Hampshire hog Grst attracted
my attention at the international in
1904. writes an Iowa farmer in Ameri-
can Agriculturist. Six years expert
ence in breeding and feeding these hogs
has convinced me that they possess
many strong points Of superiority over
other breeds. The increasing attention
they are now. attracting at all the big
shows and expositions Of the country
indicates that the Hampshire Ia the
coming hog. They are by far more
vigorous and uniformly healthy than
any other breed with which / am &C
quainted. They are the most prolific
breeders, bearing more filters and lar
ger ones than sows Of other breeds.
While HAmpshires never attain the
enormous size Of the Poland China and
other breeds. they often weigh more
than 600 pounds and sometimes over
700 pounds. Certain 1t is that the flesh
they do have Is all quality, and they
kill out on an average Of more than
8 per cent better than other breeds and
therefore bring from 10 to Is cents per
100 pounds more with the packers.
The cost Of feeding them IL always
less than in feeding other breeds be-
cause the Hampshires are the best rus

ties Of just the feed that they are look

Hampshire hogs are noted for
hardness and vitality. They are
the ideal swine for general ranch
use because they are symmetrical,
docile, prolific, early maturing and
easily fattened. They outnumbered
every other variety shown at the
recent Chicago exposition. and a
Hampshire won the carcass cham
pionship. In size Of litters this
breed ranks away up. for 1t is quite
common for gilt to have from
nine to eleven pigs and raise them
all. The older sows have from nine
to fifteen or more. The sows are
especially good mothers. are very
seldom cross or i'll and generally

There was considerable surprise at

Madison, to the platform. Mr.. olbrich
never entered an oratorical contest

and at the Coliseum he endeavored
to live up to this reputation. With
mighty voice and gesture, he told the
delegates all about the long and soul
wearying fight which had been made
for progressive policies in govern

Chicago. William Howard Taft
again heads the Republican ticket

James Schoolcraft Sherman is

Mr.. Taft was nominated on the

receiving SCI votes, or 81 Aore than
q majority OF the votes In the CON
vention. n
Mr.. Sherman was the~~only man
placed in nomination for second
place, and he received 597 votes. The
rest were scattering or not cast.
sFlattened out completely by what
his advocates denominated the steam
roller, Col Theodore Roosevelt's
candidacy was abandoned by that
gentleman himself, and a few hours
before the balloting on nominations
began he sent to the convention hall
. request that his delegates should
refrain from voting on any other
questions whatever. This request
was obeyed by 344 delegates, who

and even the Taft cohorts could not
keep their seats. Then the enthusiasts
began to pull up their state standards
and march with them, while the CALLER
les leaped to their feet, waving hats
and handkerchiefs and papers and
bowling at the top of their voices. Cal
ifornia's golden Teddy Bear led the
way, and New Jersey, Missouri and

ooseveIt Men Qult the FIaht

IL
The story of the last day of the
convention is one Of much disorder,
Quarrels on the floor, sporadic bursts
OF enthusiasm, and, during part of the
long session., swift work by the we'll
oiled Taft machine. Making their
last futile fight on the seating of the
contested Taft delegates from Wash
ington and Texas, the Roosevelt dele
gates voted against the platform sub
mitted by the committee on resolu-
lions and then devoted themselves to
rather riotous behavior, laughter at
the Taft speakers and even at Chair
man Root, and vigorous refusal to
vote.
The coIonels advice to his forces
was read to the convention by Henry
J. Allen of Kansas and included a
bitter denunciation OF the actions Of
the majority. It was hooted by the
Taftites, but as the table shows, It
was effective in most instances.
Among the states that disregarded
Rooseyelt's request, Illinois stood out
most prominently. That 81 OF Its
delegates voted for the colonel was
due to state political conditions.
Pennsylvania created . diversion by
casting two votes for Justice Hughes.
In the mix-up Senator Cummins
grabbed on seven unexpected votes
from Idaho. And La Toilette also
benefited by the conditions, getting

tion to his rs from Wisconsin and 10

announced: "Jack Johnson OF North
Dakota hit Mississippi delegate In
Vermont" Al few minutes later there
appeared in the hall a news sheet an
nouncing in big headlines: Riot in
G. O. Bloodshed."
Another bit OF excitement came
when the Massachusetts, delegation
was being polled. The Is Roosevelt
delegates refused to vote, and Chair
man Root ruled that their alternates
should be called. This raised fine
row and Mr.. Root received all that
comes to an unpopular umpire In a
ball game, except the pop bottles.
He stuck to his decision. as every
umpire must do, and the row grad
sually subsidized.
Putting Them In Nomination.

Roosevelt was not put In nomination.
But Ohio responded nobly for Presi-
dent Taft with an eloquent speech
by Warren g. Harding Of Marion.
Mr.. Harding II q large man with =
large voice, and he kept the crowd
cheering by safe references to the
Grand Old Party and its achieve

eulogistic passages concerning Mr..

like these and made its dislike known
SO noisily that Chairman Root had
