HOBSON PRESENTS UNUSUAL
IDEAS TO PEOPLE OF ALABAMA

dental chair is unfounded and unworthy
of popular acceptation.
But despite the fact that the captain did
refrain from reference to the proposed
Hobson Comer-Sesd combination in two
respects did he assume the defensive. He
gave reason for the fact that he has
missed many important roll calls, charge
which his opponents have brought against
him. and at considerable length explained
his allegiance TO female suffrage.
In regard to the first count, he stated
that busy congressman do not strive to an
swer t.present'' when their names are
called. and ventured the assertion that
oscar W. Underwood, we'll beloved in Ala
bama. had answered very few roll calls
since January i.
"He has been paired with Republican,
Leader Mann. as he should have been.
exclaimed the nettlod congressman. III is
almost Invariably the cloak room loafer
who answers every roll call.
In regard 10 womans suffrage. he le-
clared that that issue was not an issue In
Alabama.
But suppose we differ on that point, :
he continued ''or on a dozen irrelevant
points. does that constitute a reason why
YOU should oppose me? | tell you the
truth on every proposition, and unlike the
old time politician who plays the game
for himself do not withhold my answer
until the cat Jumps For whom would
you vote a man who declares his posi-
ton Irrespective OF consequences, or foS'
an old time politician who awaits On
structions from the interests whose serN-
ant he is?''
It would be mp ossible to refer to all the
unusual statements contained in the Sat
urday night address of the congressrla I
of the Sixth. He declared that his time
was in demand by chautauquas, that he
is the highest paid lecturer in the United
States with the exception Of Mr.. BRYAN.
and that as tallser he could make three
times as much as fe could as congress
man.
lie desired not to be remembered in
connection with the Merrimac incido mt,
but referred more than once to his exper-
icnce In the navy repeated some compli-
mentary references which Admiral SAM
son is said to have made concerning him
as he was i'll of typhoid fever and drew
most realistic picture of what greeted
him as he gazed through the prison bars
of Moro castle.
1t is to be regretted that his audience
Saturday night was so small Inasmuch
a sthe campaign has for its object a seat
in the Senate of the nation. everybody
should have heard the address. Fortu-
nately, the captain promises TO appear in
Birmingham again. He has named June
p his time, and Capitol park as his
place.

ton He claims To have made more fruit
ful the crops of the Sixth district as a
result of bis experts investigation And
he CLAIMS considerable credit for the pas
sage of bill providing for the direct
election of senator's. He declares that he
is now advocating and actively pushing a
bill providing for the direct election of
the President despite the fact that some
eastern counties have greater voting
strength than some southern states.
captain Hobson IS most adrot in assail-
ing his enemies and commencing himself
through indireetion. lie processes the
greatest antipathy for the politician. and
insinuates that his opponent is a polti
clan, an 'old time politician who plays the
game for himself and his masters" To
this man is chargceble, he claims all the
evils that exist-;lliteracy, cost of trans
portation, lack of waterpower develop
ment, condition of the roads, rates of tax
alton, inability of national banks to ad-
vance money on farming lands, and the
very fact that the Tennessee river does
not tickle the toes of Birmingham In its
search for the sea.
After preferrng his charges, he begs tie
people to turn the politician out of Of
fice-and put MIN In. Very cleverly he in
sinuates that with him In the shoes of the
politician all will be we'll
Captain Hobson very pointedly suggests
and sometimes openly declares that he
himself is no politician. And vet, con-
trarN to expectations. he failed Saturday
night to explain his effort of some months
ago to parcel out the offices of the state
among B. b. Conner. Walter ID. Seed ana
himself. As matter Or fact. he did not
refer to that epochal moment in Alabama
politics when he urged MIR Conner to seek
the gubernatorial nomination, Mr. Seed

the latter would not now be a nopponent
of the former governor.
1t was thought V the uniformed that
this effort of Mr.. Hobson stamped him rs
a pretty clever politician. though from his
fearful onslaughts against the politician
1T is practically certain that he considers
himself only as one bent exclusively In a
worthy effort to mould public character

USE AVAILABLE PLANT FOOD
Each Crop of Necessity Takes Some
thing From the Soil.

The fertility OF the soil is not like a
bank account. which is tangible, in
sight. can be drawn out at one or
more times at will OF the depositors.
says the American Cultivator. The
soil is an investment with many quail
fying conditions. viz: Available plant
food. physical condition and moisture
These are in great measure under
the control OF the farmer lnasmuch
.as no plant has the ability TO make
something out OF nothing. each cror
grown of necessity must take avail
able plant food out OF the soil which
never comes back in most cases. In
figuring the cost of production the
value OF the plant food taken should
be charged against the cron just a.
much as that added in way OF manure
or chemicals. In our experience in
footing the cost of production we have
charged the loss OF plant food against
the crop grown in proportion to the
WELD. In the legumes we have cred
tied the crop with the added nitrogen
And this is not all-the improved ply
steal condition OF the soil has value
that cannot be measured
If we are not going to charge the
CROP with the lost fertility then we
should not credit it with the added
Rotation OF crops may enable us for
"a time to grow profitable crops, but
sooner or later our children or their
children will pay the penalty. Fertil-
itv means valuable asset in the farm
er's hands.

Dainty Lunch Cheese.

In the recent bulletins from the Wis
consin experiment station the max
ing OF cheese from buttermilk is pref
ty fully described, says Hoard's Dairy
man. This caused somewhat of a stir
in the dairy world, and since it re-
suits in the utilization of large ouan-
tltles OF buttermilk wasted every year
1t IS well worthy of consideration. 1t

wich, and the profit in the enterprise
Will depend entirely upon whether or
not steady market can be developed
Tor 1t. Beng perishable product,
very much like cottage cheese, it will
keep only few days. The fact of the
matter is there is very little difference
between buttermilk cheese and cot
tage cheese, except that the former
has buttermlk flavor
Packing and selling this cheese re-
quires special attention, since the pub
lie is not familiar with the product
1t may be shipped in butter tubs and

ten days III temperaturet of so to 90
degrees, but it can be kept longer if

desired this may be secured by add
ing cheese coloring. as used in cheddar
cheese.
The making of this buttermilk
cheese is inexpensive. as the drainage

ed by anyone. When only a very small
amount is desired the ordinary uten-
sis of a creamery can be utilized
