President Taft will have had the ex-
traordinary experience of having con-
stituted a majority of the highest tri-
bunal in the land-a bench on which
it had been his most exalted ambition
to serve rs chief justice.
In addition to naming five new JUS
tees of court of nine, President Taft
also has the distinction of elevating
Associate Justice Edward W. White to
the chief justiceship, making in all six
supreme court appointments during
the three years he has been president
The five associate justice were:
Messrs. Lurton, Hughes, Vandevanter,
Lamar and Pitney.
Chancellor Pitney is just a little
more than 81 years old, six years I'M
der Mr.. Taft's age limit, and has been
a practicing lawyer and a judge since
1882. He served as associate justice
of the New Jersey supreme court from
1901 to 1908, and became chancellor in
the latter year. His term would ex-
pire in 1915. His home is in Norris
town.-Salt Lake Telegram.

made at the white house subsequently
to a call by John w. Griggs, former
attorney general of the United States,
and a delegation of New Jersey law
yers, all of whom spoke of Judge Pit
ney in the highest terms.
The fact that Mr.. Taft might select
Chancellor Pitney did not become
known until last night and then it was
discussed only among some of the
presidents closest friends Unusual
efforts We're made to guard the secret.
The president had planned to send the
nomination in today as q complete sur
prise. Mr.. Taft does not expect any
opposition in the senate.
In casting about for a successor to
Justice Harlan, Mr.. Taft first looked
beyond the Mississippi river. At one
time it seemed certain that he would
name Judge William G. Hook of the
United States circuit court and again
that Secretay Charles Nagle of the de-
partment of commerce and labor would
be chosen.
There was a protest against Judge
Hook because of his decisions in two
Oklahoma cases, one involving the
2-cent fair law and the other the Jim
Crow car law The latter case
which Judge Hook decided in favor Of
the railroads and against the conten-
tention of the negroes affected, is said
to have been the final cause Of the
presidents turning from the Kansas
jurist Labor organizations protested
against Secretary Maggie on the ground
that he had been too lenient in the en-
forcenent. of the immigration laws.

been confirmed by the senate and has
taken his place on the supreme bench

THE DOG TO WORK

dogs for the farm. besides being the

proper care a Scotch Collie pup can
be trained 70 do almost any dog trick.
A well-trained Collie will bring stock
from the pasture more satisfactorily

Kansas Agricultural college has a Col
lie dog which is very useful for that
purpose.
The demand for Scotch Collles is
steadily Increasing as their value on
the farm becomes known II is better

FATTENINe VALUE or PEAS

Ry PROF. THOMAS N. sHAw.)
There is no kind Of live stock on
the farm to which peas cannot be
Ted with positive advantage when they
are to be had at prices not too high.
They are not commonly fed to horses,
since they can seldom be spared for
such use but they make a good food
for horses at work, and for colts
during the period of development, II
given as a part OF the grain food
AS food for fattening cattle. peas
are probably unexcelled. Much Of
the success which Canadian feeders
have achieved in preparing cattle for
the block has risen from the free use
of peas in the diet.
During the first part of the frish-
ing period they will be found peculiar
ly helpful in making beef, owing to
their relative richness in protein, but
they are also a satisfactory food at
any stage of the fattening process.
During the first half of the finishing
period peas win be found superior to
corn, but toward the close of the same,
corn could probably be fed with
greater relative advantage.
Peas with oats or bran make an ex-
cellent grain food for cattle that are
being fattened Speaking in a gen.
era1 way, peas should form about one
third, by weight, OF the meal fed, but.
as every feeder knows, the relative
proportions of meal used should vary
somewhat as the season of fat
tening progresses.
