Clafk,s Last Struggle

Baltimore, July 2.-The convention
resumed work atl2 O'Clock today and
balloting vas begun. Delegates were
early in tsleir seats, and with every
thing breaking to Wilson there was
an air of expectancy that nominee

Bryan leaxers developed q plan to
make one trial to land Speaker Clark
and if this failed to turn all delegates
controlled by Clark and Murphy to
Underwood with the hope of putting
him over.

GENERAL FARM NOTES.

Sudden and complete changes in
feed are dangerous for horse.
Sows fed and cared for properly will
never eat their pigs.
1t will pay to give the calves some
grain.
If all is well, do not disturb SOW
with young pigs for twenty-four hours.
The best dairy appliances in the
world are of little use to us if we dol
not learn how to use them to the best
possible advantage
Fly time means milking after dusk,
having darkened milking shed, the
use of some fly repeller or else a fight
with the flies and cows.
Two blades of grass where only one
grew before are all right, provided
each one is as good as the first one,
and also provided that the cost is not
too great.
Too much stress cannot be laid on
the importance of good supply of
green feed for poultry Nothing tends
more to keep them in good health and
condition
Dat straw makes a fair roughage;
but not unless it contains bit of un-
threshcd grain. Remember that the
cow requires very generous grain
ration in connection with straw
Unshod colts need inspection of the
feet occasionally, as they are likely to
grow more on one side than the other
or to develop too much toe. A little
rasping will keep the feet level

ing crushed in the pig bed. They are
not good mixers either, and thus do
not give the litter good sendoff dur
ing the sucking age.
One should select the long. growthy
females. taking care, however, that
they do not stand too high from the
ground and are not contracted at the
heart girth or near the flank. One
should make sure, too, that there is
no tendency for the back to sag or the
feet to go down on the dew claws. 1t
is better to select one with some arch
to the back, making sure that the
arch is in the back and not in the
rump. An arched rump with low
set tail means shorter ham. and that
curtails the carcass in its best part.
The back should be wide, and the sides
should come down perpendicularly to
a low. straight observation-disclosures

DEEP FLOWING IS REQUIRED
This is Necessary to the Welfare of
Dry Farming.

Flowing, or turning over of the soil
to a depth of from seven to ten inches
for every crop is fundamental oper-
alton of dry farming. The pillow, there
fore. becomes one of the most import
ant implements on the dry farm.
Though the pillow as an agricultural
implement is of great antiquity, it is
only within the last 100 years that it
has attained its present perfection. 1t
is question even today. in the minds
modern pillow should not be replaced
of a great many students, whether the
by some machine even more suitable
for the proper turning and stirring of
the soil. The moldboard pillow is ev-
erywhere considered the most salts
factory pillow for dry-farm purposes.
A pillow with moldboard possessing
a short abrupt curvature is generally
held in to be the most valuable for
dryfarming purposes, since it bulver-
ICES the soil thoroughly. and in dry
soil over as to crumble and loosen it
farming it is so important to turn the
thoroughly. Naturally since the areas
of dry farms are very large, the sulky
or riding pillow is the only kind to be
used. The same may be said of all
other dry-farm implements. AS far as
possible, they should be of the riding
kind since in the end it means ecoomy
from the resulting saving of energy.

FARM NOTES.

The corn grader is necessity on
every farm where the corn planter is
used.
AS to garden seeds, it is usually
best to buy direct Of responsible seed
houses.
Seed selection is the oldest and
most common method of attempting
to improve our crops.
The grasshopper situation is diff
ficult one to cope with where vast
acreages of idle land exists.
Do no pile manure around the barn
and do not pile it in he fields. Spread
it as fast as it can be taken out.
Good roads are the reward of COM
mon sense applied to the local man
agement of town or county affairs.
The business that grows rapidly
may we'll be watched closely. Con-
Germs of slow growth are usually more
stable
Better copy the farmer who pro-
duces his yileds at the lowest cost
than the man who produces the largest
yields.
Farm success comes to the man
who runs his little bit of land on the
same plan that the engineer does his

A Tribute to the Horse.

If one animal more than any other
has contributed to the welfare and
happiness of mankind, it has been the
horse. Forced into captivity, domes.i-
Gated and interbred until he reveals
the highest qualities of butte intelli-
gence and beauty of form, has been
mans patient and faithful burden
bearer as we'll as his silent companion
of the centuries He has shared with
man the hardships of exploration, the
ages of chivalry; the struggles for
democratic freedom, and the advance
of commercial supremacy. In htera-
ture, in art, in song; in war, as well as
in peace, he has stood by his master S
side in the glorious descriptions of hui
man achievement.
The history of the horse is in a large
measure the history of the human
race He stands today as the high
est embodiment OF physical .perfec-
ton, the most delicately constructed
dynamo, the most beautiful animal
creation that the ingenuity of man has
been able to evolve by artificial means
And what an object of emulation he
is to man himself for the scientific
breeding of the human race; what a
beautiful example of the power OF la
Dor and love if it could be assumed
by man as a voluntary rather than an
involuntary servitude.
AS we look upon this noble friend OF
man, who is SO often subjected to the
neglect and cruelty of commercial
greed and abject slavery, let us not
forget that, though he may be owned
individually he is ours by race in
heritance, ours to use, ours to enjoy,
ours to protect, and that we owe it to
him as we'll as to ourselves to de-
mand for him justice and fair play

SUCCESS WITH DUCKS.
The Indian Runner is the Greatest
Egg Layer of the Species.

In the August issue of the Live
Stock and Dairy Journal, in my article
. on the Indian Runner duck, promis-
ed to give the number of eggs laid by
my flock for the year. About two
years ago | became interested in poul-
try, and having only a city lot and reg
ular employment nearby, after con-
siderable study | concluded that In
dian Runner ducks would be the most
practical line of poultry for me to in
vest in, as they promised better re
suits for less work and time spent OH
them than any other lines. | soon
found that if would have any success
with ducks on this coast care must be
taken to procure strain that would
lay pure white eggs. In April of 1911
received from Mrs VIM. Harsh
barger, of Indiana, three settings Of
fawn-and white Indian Runner duck
eggs. In May, from thirty eggs,
thirty-nine ducklings were hatched
and carefully following instructions,
twenty seven ducks were raised. four
teen of which being brakes, | was able
to dispose of at a good price for
breeders
The thirteen ducks | had began lay
ing in September at the age of a
months and IA days. In September,
1911, ia eggs were laid: in October,
1913; November, 325; December 34l
January 1926; February. 3Ol, March,
sos; April 337: May $751; June, 325:
July, 34l; August, 2S5; September, up
to date on which they began laying in
1911, l02, total OF 1855 eggs from the
thirteen ducks, or an average of 28l
eggs per duck for one year.
These, if sold at average market
price would bring 81 per duck. The
cost of feed in this locality. this year
being high. the net profit per duck
would be $44 as utility stock
In January, 1912. I purchased flock
of White Indian Runners, twelve Of
which kept for breeding purposes.
making me twenty-five females includ
ing the thirteen Fawns, from which |
have sold $500 worth of stock and
eggs. and have had to turn down sew
eral large orders of stock and eggs.
This leaves me good sized flock of
both the Light Fawn and White and
the pure White Runners which are
not for sale at any price.
The equal of the Indian Runner as
an egg producer has never yet been
found. and undoubtedly some of my
ducks have laid over 800 eggs each
| know of no other business that re
qures so little capital, which will give
such quick and great returns for the
money invested if handled rightly, or
no other business which affords such
opportunities for hustlng man or
woman to gain prominence more
quickly. The demand for higgrade
show birds is increasing every year.
and more utility stock is needed to
furnish food. FRANK TOLES.
