CONGRESS AND
THE CANAL

II the canal should be handed over
to the nation by its constructors to-
morrow, complete in every detail, but
without provision for its operation
more than twelve months would have
to elapse before ship could be safe
ly put through it. In the opinion OF
Colonel Goethais, the men who are to
handle the machinery OF the locks
should not be entrusted with the task
until they have had eighteen months
training. In order TO have a proper
ly qualified corps Of operatives In
hand at the time of the completion
of the canal their selection and in
struetion must begin not later than
six months hence. But the commits
sion can engage this future force
only with the express authorization
of congress.

Cattle Feeders Take Notice
You do not have to run hogs with
cattle to insure safe margin OF

you can in this way eliminate the
danger of loss from hog cholera.

grew the corn for silage, the loss Of
soil fertility rould not be detected

This same twelve tons of corn sill

OF $500.

could accomplish ten times this
much. Farmers build silos. Don't
wait. Do 1t now.

UNDERWOOD THE

Hon. Nicholas Longworth of Ohio,
In speaking on tariff railroading in
the Democratic House of Representa-
tives pays respects to Democratic
leader Underwood as follows:
IF legislation means deliberate
consideration, then this Is not legls5
lation. II is legislation by ukase, and
the car who issues that ukase Is
none other than the gentleman from
Alabama (Mr. Underwood). We have
heard much talk about cars In this
House. The gentleman from Illinois
(Mr. Cannon), the former Speaker
was called a car. Why Mr.. Chairman
in SO far as his control over his party
In this House was concerned, he was

and master of discordant and ordinar-
lily unmanageable elements, the re-
nowned Prof Hagenbeck is a child

FARMERS, SAVE

An exchange recently received an
article on the saving OF waste in
the form or corn fodder. The sugges-
tons are herewith printed for the
benefit OF the farmers.
Save the Waste
That is how Rockefeller got rich.
Why not you?
What other business except the
raising of corn will allow waste of
from 80 to 40 per cent and still per.

money profit? Can you imagine that
sane sensible men by the hundreds
and by the thousands would work
hard almost the year round, raising
and caring for the valuable corn croI

to 40 per cent of the gross results OF
their labor? No. You cannot imagine
such thing, but, the facts are this
