Third Party Progressive campaign

the convention will be to elect two
delegates-at-large to the national
progressive convention In Chicago

Former Governor John Franklin
Fort, chairman of the Roosevelt dele
cation from this state to the Repub-
lican national convention and a rec
ognized leader of the Progressive
movement, reiterates the declaration
made by former Senator Everett
Coly here last Tuesday, that an en-

Nominate by Petition,
A special condition that will have

every one of their candidates will
have to be nominated by petition.
The election law provides that to be
officially recognized a political party
must have polled at least Ave pei

polls at the primary election mex
September. Notwithstanding thii

DAIRY PLANS OF
DANISH FARMER
Great Aim Is to Keep Largest
Number of Efficient Cows
Possible on "A Given
Area.

The aim of the Danish farmer is to
keep the largest number of efficient
COWS possible on a given area, a COW
to 21a acres or less. Enough young
stock is raised to keep the herd sup
piled with COWS.
From their feeding of oil cake and
meal and the stall feeding of green
crops, an immense amount of manure
of fine quality is made, and with their
careful methods of outstanding the sol
ids in a covered manure pit and the
liquids in cistern, and applying in
small quantities at frequent intervals
during the rotation. the producing pow
er of their land is increasing from
year to year.
The price of cows is from $50 to
800. Only the best heifers are raised
and with the record of the dam and
the quality of the sire known, their
selection is comparatively simple.
The soiling crops used are rye, oats
and peas oats and vetch and clover
and grass. These are hauled to the
barn and fed green, or pastured OF by
lettering the cows along the edge.
In the cool European countries the
soiling season of the crop is much
longer The COWS are seldom turned
to pasture in Denmark, but tethered
by means of halter on the head and
a rope or chain twelve to twenty feet
long, which is attached to a ten-inch
pin driven into the ground.
Water is hauled twice a day to the
tethered COWS. Many small dairymeni
take the cows to the stable to be
MIXED three times a day.
The cows are moved five times a
day from three to six feet depending
upon the amount of feed.
Thus the crops are grazed off even
when two or three feet high without
waste from tramping. This is the
Danes chief point of economy in the
summer feed.
Practically no grain is fed while the
cows are on grass. A few dairymen
feed a little oil cake to their best
makers.
They are stabbed all winter, fed all
the straw they will eat and on the av-
erage of four pounds of hay, 40 to 100
pounds Of roots and about six pounds
of grain per day, consisting of oil
cake, bran, barley and oats.

PRETTY TABLE FAv0RS
DECIDED NOVELTIES THAT ARE
EASY TO FASHION.
Any Number of Devices to Choose
From-Bunches of Sweetmeat
FIowers-Pink Roses for the
Birthday Cake.

The popularity of the little velvet
or silk bunch of flowers for the cor
sage, with beautifully chosen colors-
bright ones or weary" ones together
only in one bunch-has led to the
fashion abroad of another sort of lit
tie posy.
They are choosing lunches of sweet
meat flowers for the table, and very
pretty these are and quite easy to
make.
You get green-covered wire and
spirit lamp. You burn one end of the
wire in the flame and when red-hot
you stick into a piece of melted su-
gar. which hardens and binds the
stem to the flower.
Then you make wires for separate
petals and coat them with sugar icing
and tint them, say, pink or white for
roses, mauve for violets, and use eth
er spinach-colored icing or else an
gelica for the leaves. Orange drops
you heat and roll in granulated sugar
for centers of the flowers. The de-
| vices may be very numerous.
For instance, you may make the
dearest little bunch of white sweet
meat snowdrops to lay by each plate,
or one of red autumn berries, tiny
dahlias, daisies-what not. Arrange
fiat bunch OF pink roses and it
charmingly decorates birthday cake.
The greatest fun is to have a diff
ferent flower to lay before each plate
at dinner table. All sorts of ready
made sweets, tiny to big, that you get
at confectioner's may be pressed in
to the service, and split, skinned Jor-
dan almonds make good petals; red
comfits may be adopted for pimper-
nels, and so on.
Twist some crystallized violets or
roses up into bunch, adding leaves
and wire and pop this into a little
basket, and to the handle fasten some
violet flowers, and you have a dainty
little ornament to set on the table at
| dessert.

UNCLE HIRAM TO HIS NEPHEW
He Hopes the Boy Will Turn Out to
Be Good Judge of Men. When
His Turn Comes.

"Stevey. my boy" said Uncle Hiram
to his hopeful nephew, Il hope 1t will
turn out that you are a good judge
of men. for by virtue of that quality
a man is able In effect to multiply
his own power
1T is a common thing to hear
people say that the more pay a man
gets the less work he does. and as
10 the doing of actual labor this may
be true; somebody else saws the wood
while he sits by the fire.
"As a matter of fact there are plen-
ty of men high up who still work
hard, and all of them certainly worked
hard when they were younger, and if
they are doing less actual labor now
il is because they are good judges
of men, able to pick out for the bust
ness under their direction just the
right men to do the work and carry
it forward successfully.
Really it is in the exercise of this
gift that we find the greatest value in
a manager; it is just this that makes
him worth his high pay. We want
him to sit around and take things
easy and give himself time to think
and keep his head clear. We don't
want him to get out and chop down
trees; we want him to be able to
select men who can do that work to
the greatest advantage and with the
greatest economy.
Some of us know men on sight
and some don't hope, Stevey, that
you will turn out to be a good judge
of men"

ing, Ruggles, looking down at her,
said: my dear child-my dear child"
In his few words something per
hans made her see in flash her past
and what the question really was. She
dropped Ruggles' arm. She stood for
moment with her arms folded across
her breast, her head bent down, and
the man at the door waited, feeling
that Dams whole life was in the bal
ance of the moment. When she spoke
again her voice was hard and entirely
devoid Of the lovely appealing quality
which brought her so much admira-
ton from the public.

was going through, she turned away
