SUFFRAGE NOTES.

Seven Suffragette Sisters had their
photographs made this week and
placed on the wrapper of the Gee-Gee
hair tonic bottle All the women are
members of the Good Government
club and people of wide acQuaint-
ance in Topeka. The pictures show
the backs of their heads and their
hair hanging loose, long and luXur-
liant. The bottles on which these
wrappers are placed will he kept in
the Good Government booth at the
State Fair, and as they are all pledged
not to tell whose photographs are on
the bottles, there will be some inter-
est in guessing their identity among
the local visitors to the tent. Inside
the wra piping is a paper giving direc-
lions for the use of the tonic, guar
antee of its efficacy and a set of gen
eral rules for the care of the hair.
Below the pictures on the wrapper is
printed, BEG a bottle, steal a bottle,
buy bottle-Doi OF Gee-Gee hair
tonic and save a hair or two"
The suffragettes will also keep a
supply of Lady Macbeth Spotsbane'
for the removal of ink spots, iron rust,
etc. The dope is supposed to have a
stain removing power equal to the
need suggested by the strong language
of Lady Macbeth when she washed
her hands-hence the name.
The club is also getting out book.
The New Mother Goose by Suf-
fragette Costing, which will be ready
for the bazaar at the State Fair The
rhymes were written by Mrs. Lee
Monroe, president of the club, and il
lustratiOns were made by Albert T.
Reid, Harvey Parsons. Carl Bolmar.
David Overmeyer and Mrs. Fred
Farnsworth.
The following is copied from the
Frankfort Index, with reference to an
old settlers meeting held in Frank
fort: The women were fortunate in

of the theory that only women of
pugnaciOus views are engaged in the
suffrage movement. Her address was
interesting and listened to with close
attention by several hundred people
who frequently applauded her logic
and wit. Equal suffrage she said,
is not an experiment. 1t has been
tried in fifty states, provinces and ma
tions, and declared beneficial by all.
Wyoming was the first state to give
full suffrage to women, ard that is
the only state that has no poor
houses, not woman in her peniten-
tiary, and one-eighth as many divorces
as other states of a like character. In
Wyoming 80 per cent of the women

Plants Must Have Moisture.

\ part OF the food which plant
needs for life and growth is in the
soil 1t is the Office, or function, OF
the plants roots to get this food. But
before the roots can take up plant
food from the soil, that food must be
dissolved in water.
We all know that the soil in which
plants grow must be wet or moist for
the plants to thrive or do we'll in it.
If the soil becomes very dry the
plants stop growing, some of them
die entirely, and others die down to
the ground.
Those plans which die only to the
ground when the soil becomes very
dry are provided with underground
stems
These underground stems Simply
rest, or sleep, during the dry period,
and awaken again and send up new
leaves and branches when the soil be
comes moist.

10000 Horses Die in Kansas.

Six million dollars will not cover
the loss incurred by the horse plague'
in Kansas during the last month, &c
cording to estimates made by DIR. r.
S Schoenleiber, head of the veterinary
department and DR. f. II. Webster,
director Of the experiment station OF
the Kansas Agricultural College, who
have been visiting the plague injected
district,
They say that in the western half II
Kansas alone at least twenty thousand
horses have died of ccrebo-s spinal men
nights. This, they say has made a
direct loss of two million dollars m
horses. The indirect loss, particularly
in farm work undone on account ot
the scarcity of horses, they estimate
at twice that amount.

GET READY FOR ORCHARD.
Much More Needed for Ultimate Sue
cess Than Mere Planting.

The nursery stock is beginning to
arrive Tor the new orchrd plantations
and it would seem that the usual mum
Der OF fruit trees are to be set out this
spring In growing commercial or
chard, the experience is much and
varied. There are so many conditions
prevailing that close and diligent
study IS quite essential To grow a
good orchard, much more is needed
than the planting, says the Denver
Field and Farm We must first famil-
iarize ourselves with the character and
nature OF soil and trees, the prevailing
winds as we call them, the different
attitudes and last but not least, the
perplexing problem of cause and
effect, the last of which embodies nat
ural laws i'll their simplest form.
The first step is the selection of the
ground. The first choice is a northern
exposure, the second, a western, and
the third an eastern, and last a south
plow and level it thoroughly in such
manner that there will never be high
and low spots i'll the direction of the
irrigating burrows. All powing and
preparing ought to be done in summer
and fall previous to planting. A broad
deep furrow is made with large lis
ter or two single plows, a left hand
and right hand bolted together. At
tach four hores and go several times
through the same row in opposite di-
rections, but not all the same day. just
before planting 20 once again in the
burrows to pulverize the soil. All thi,
can be done very rapidly. The trees
should be so planted that in after
years they will be accessible and con
venicnt for all purposes. This means
that no trees should ever be planted
on a square.
BY leaving the trees wide apart the
way the irrigation burrows are to run
always give ample room to cultivate.
irrigate, pick, spray, haul out. etc. If
the land is so that the irrigating fur
rows should be from east to west and
close in the row north and south. This
occurs most frequently in Colorado.
BY this means the sun gets full action
on the ground and trees on the east
side in the morning and on the west
side in the afternoon While the dis
tances may be varied, the most con
enient for apples are 10 by p feet.
10 by % or 10 by Is; peaches. plums
and cherries. IA by 20 or 10 by 20 feet
pears, 10 by "a feet. When the rows
are furrowed out the wide way, rig up
something with team to cross the
burrows, and by driving straight to
stakes make the marks for two rows
at one time and the work is quickly
done Then ii is a very simple matter
to dig out the tree holes at the inter
sections, and if this is done in the fall
or early winter so as to catch later
frosts so much the better.

The Boy en- the Farm.

The much debated question of how
to keep the boy on the farm may be
boiled down to this: The boy can be
kept on the farm when life there is
so arranged that it will arouse his in
terest and give impetus to his ener-
gies and when the reward which he
may reasonably expect for his labor Is
commensurate with that which he
would get in other lines of work. Dis
cussion OF the problem which does moi
take into account these general truths
is beside the question and largely
futile.

Bacteria for Alfalfa Soil.

Alfalfa needs a certain kind of bac
terra in the soil TO give the best re
suits These bacteria live on the roots
of the plants and gives off as by-pro
duct the nitrogen which the plant
needs. This is an example OF co oper
alton in nature.
In these soils where sweet clover
has grown these bacteria are usually
present If they are not, It is some
times necessary to get soil from some
field where alfalfa is growing, or some
sweet clover soil. and scatter ii over
the alfalfa patch. This is called lin
oculating the soil

Mr.. Taft VS.. Mr.. Roosevelt

In a recent article in the Congre-
gationalist Ex-President Tucker, of
Dartmouth College, analyses the pres
ont political situation and endorses
the candidacy of Mr.. Taft. Mr.. Tuck
er gives some clear-cut reasons for MS
support of Mr.. Taft in preference to
Mr.. Roosevelt
In the first place, he maintains that
1 vote for Mr.. Taft is vote to main
cain the independence of the Pre5i-
Dental office. He maintains that the
attack of Mr.. Roosevelt upon Mr.. TAFT
mounts to impeachment proceedings.
! Mr.. Roosevelt has become boss OF
he most pronounced type, type
which deals with forces far more sub
tie and effective than have been used
| by party bosses heretofore; he poses
| IS a tribune of the people.
In the second place, vote for Mr..
Taft must be regarded as vote for
political yeracity. He points out clear
paign of opposition to Mr. Taft on Dor
rowed capital--on changes of front up
on important political questions. He
made much of Mr.. Taft's action in re-
spect to the tariff-yet how better is
the record of Mr. Roosevelt? He
harps much on the bosses yet
he has aligned himself with
bosses. He objects to contribu-
tions from the trusts, yet he refuses
to make known his support in the
primary campaign. although asked re-
peatedly to do SO. He claimed to have
been cheated out of the nomination at
Chicago, yet scores of his claims
were declared to have been fraudulent
ly made.
In the third place, a vote for Mr..
Taft is a vote to protect the rights of
the people as against the surrender
of these rights to paternalism. The
Progressive contention virtually de-
clared Mr.. Roosevelt to be, after the
Roman fashion, the one man inds-
pensable to the safety of the republic
The keynote of his speech of accep-
tanee-his confession of faith--was
the Capitalization of power. 1t was
Entrust the power to me.
