Delightful Table Decorations Are Eas-
lily Possible at This Favored
Time Of Year.

With the return of the flowers
comes the desire to have the table
decorated with some arrangement of
blossoms.
1t is rather an expensive PROPOSE
ton during the winter. but flowers at
this season are inexpensive: or we
may call upon the woods and fields to
provide bouquets for the table
An effective decoration is to fill q
bowl with moss and arrange snow
drops and crocuses as II they we're
growing in their native home
The bowl should be shallow and
wide. Twenty snowdrops and few
violets are enough to fill the bowl.
They are more effective when not
clustered.
Small glass or china troughs may
be purchased for the purpose of deco
rating the table.
Each of these Is an arc of quar-
ter circle. and may be arranged to
form many designs. Short-stemmed
flowers. pansies, violets. lilies-of-the-
valley.
The center or corners of a table are
the proper places for flowers. Quanti-
ties of vases and holders, narrow and
shapely. are made for the purpose OF
holding table flowers.

The sows are given separate lots,
with a good shelter, close, warm
house. If the weather is cool. about a
week before they are due to farrow.
The sows are fed sparingly for a
few days after farrowing. then grad
ually brought up to full ration.
1t has always been hard for me to
keep from feeding the SOW too much
while the pigs are young. and as a
result / have had several cases Of
scours with the young pigs.
When ! find the pigs beginning to
scour, l give the SOW Is to 20 drops
of laudanum In her feed for few
feeds. Her feed is reduced and this
usually checks the scours in a day or
so. If l have not any laudanum l
have used powdered charcoal with
good results.
AS soon as the pigs are old enough
to eat I give them a separate trough
where they can eat without being dis
turbed by the mother. They are given
mixed feed of middhngs. corn meal
or other ground feed mixed with
water. The SOW gets a similar ration.
More corn is used In cold weather
than II the season is warm.

GIVE HERD BULL
PLENTY EXERCISE
Important to Keep Animal Strong
and ViGorouo-Vari
Ways of Giving Him
Needed Work.

It is very important that the bull
at the head of herd be given plenty
Of exercise, and be fed like a work
horse, as in this manner he becomes
strong and vigorous, and sure calf
getter.
On the other hand, II bull be de
prived Of exercise and the proper
kind of feed and becomes indolent,
lacking energy. especially breeding
energy, he is rendered almost value
less; in fact. be becomes a detriment
to herd, owing to the fact that a
breeder is losing valuable time by re-
peatedly breeding his cows to him
without results.
The various ways Of exercising a
bull might consist In a paddock TO
run in, tread power to work in. OF
being chained up and staked. At any
rate, 1t is important to conceive some
manner In which to give the herd bull
plenty OF daily exercise, as the re-
suits of good feed and plenty of exer.
else may be plainly noticeable In tho
Offspring.

The brood SOW is the unit of pork
production. Regardless of her breed
she should have certain definite char
acteristics typifying happy combina-
tion of good breeding with individual
excellence. The easiest and most ex-
pensive method of embarking in the
swine breeding business is to pur-
chase two or more pure-bred gifts,
safe in pig to unrelated sires, to be
used as foundation stock. Selection
of the best females from their progeny
and mating them to useful growthy
quality male will establish within a
very short time a high-class herd. In
selecting SOW for breeding pur-
poses the following points should be
emphasized:
1. The gilt should be pure bred; a
typical utility representative of her
breed.
2. Should trace to large, even
litter. farrowed by a kindly disposed.
heavy milking dam that displays Wig

3. She should evidence early matur-
ity; possess clean, shapely head,
large, bright eyes. heavy paws, light
jowl. neat ears, short neck; have a
long, straight. strong back, broad.
meaty loin, smooth, compact shoul-
ders, deep, well arched sides; even
width. plump. shapely hams. a neat
trim underline, dotted with many
evenly placed rudimentaries; short,
straight legs. with clean. dense bone;

ported pasterns, and exhibit style and
finish throughout.
A. She should be pasture product

g. She should possess quality; be
in a vigorous growthy condition, free
from wrinkles, and giving promise of

liable cuts, thus yielding higher

Picks Flaws in Primaries.

The Taft bureau also gave out the fol-
lowing:
Three kinds of primaries have been
participated in by Col. Roosevelt within
the past two weeks and none has yet
suited the colonel and his friends. After
the North Dakota primary was held they
ascribed their defeat to the fact that
democrats and socialists voted for La
Toilette After the Indiana primaries
they charged fraud and threatened to
contest. After the New York primaries
they denounced them as criminal
farce
THE constant fault finding of the OPP
position of President Taft with the laws
under which delegates to the republican
national convention are being chosen,
which are the same or better laws under
which Col. Roosevelt himself was nomi-
mated in 1908. has given birth, on their
part. to a demand for presidential pref
erence primaries. Now comes the posi-
tive statement Of an officer in the re-
publican organization in Texas, controlled
by Col. Cecil A. Lyon, personal friend
of Col Roosevelt his personal choice for
referee on patronage in that state and
his present campaign manager in Texas
that a presidential preference primary
has been fatty refused by the Roosevelt
forces.
1T is evident, therefore, that the ques-
ton of preference primaries or no pref
erence primaries Is one merely Of ex-
pediency and depends entirely, so far as
Mr.. Roosevelt and his friends are con-
cerned, upon whose OK is about to be
gored.'"

Lead Predicted for Wilson.

The following statement was issued last
night from Woodrow Wilson head
quarters:
Two states will soon afford democrats
an opportunity to express their preference
for presidential candidates, these being
Wisconsin and Pennsylvania, and when
the primaries are held in those two states
Woodrow Wilson will take the lead over
all other candidates, which commanding
position will be maintained by the New
Jersey executive throughout the contest.
The Wisconsin primary occurs Tues
day and the Pennsylvania primary will be
held two weeks hence. In these states
the biggest contests among democratic
presidential aspirants are now being wag-
ed, and the Wilson forces feel certain of
victory in both instances. The two states
will be represented by 102 delegates. near
ly one-tenth of the total membership of
the convention that will name the demo-
cratic presidential nominee.
up to the present time 126 of the total
1 ,O24 delegates to the convention have
been chosen. Although the majority of
these delegates were elected from Champ
Clark'S territory, where conventions were
called early to boost the Speakers candi-
dacy, forty-siX of the delegates already
elected can be claimed for Gov. Wilson.
These delegates are: Oklahoma Instruct
ed, 10; Maine (uninstructed but conced-
ed, 8: Kansas latter first BALLOT, 20;
North Dakota Second choice), s: total, 46.
Speaker Clark has the advantage of
the showing made by the thirty dele
gates from his home state of Missouri.
Had New Jersey democrats met early
woodrow Wilson would have been in the
lead from the first. OF course, the Clark
people claim Kansas. as they are entitled
by right to do. but the second choice of the
Kansas delegates is Wilson. The friends
of the New Jersey executive carried six
of the eight congressional districts. elect

Replies to Taft Claims.

The Roosevelt bureau issued the fol-
lowing last night:
1.-THE national Taft bureau, in the effort
to create and foster a false impression
as to the strength Of the Taft candidacy
is publishing daily a statement purport-
ing to give exact figures as to the dele
gates elected to the republican national
convention. They now are claiming to
have elected more than go delegates
for Taft. The best possible commentary
upon this claim is the letter written by
Representative Mckinley, director Of the
national Taft bureau. to Mr. Taft, Oc-
tober %. 1910. Mr.. Mckinley was then
chairman of the republican congressional
committee and had directed the congress
sional campaign of that year. His letter
to Mr.. Taft was his final report upon
the campaign. and he put himself on
record uneQuivocally with a claim for
the certain election of republican
House Of Representatives"
The statement then went on to quote
Mr.. McKinley's prediction Of the election
of republican House and repudiated
him as a political prophet.
Col. Roosevelt will make a trip into
West Virginia and Kentucky next week,
according to announcement by Senator
Dixon, his campaign manager. He will
