Do1ley Has Resigned Craftsmanship.

That he may devote his time to the Pro-
gressive movement. J. y. Dolley has sent
to J. c. Gaffard his resignation as chair
man of the Republican state central COM
mittee. few weeks ago Dolley openly
declared his intentions of joining the Pro
gressiVe party and at that time stated
that he would withdraw from the head of
the Republican state committee, where he
has served for nearly six years.
The selection of Dolley's successor is in
the hands of the Republican state commit
tee At the present time there is a move
ment under way to Teorganize the state
committee, especially as affecting coun-
ties where Progressive members of the
committee have withdrawn and organized
separate committees. As soon as this re-
organization is completed, the party lead
ers will prepare for the preliminary work
of the 1914 campaign.
Around the hotels and among the poll
tcians, there is little no discussion re-
garding Dolley's resignation or his sue
cesso-. For some time it has ben known
that the state chairman and former bank
commissioner planned to leave the Repub-
lican party. BY Withdraw wing at this time.
it is probable that the harmoney conven-
ton in session here today will prepare for
the calling of a special session of the
state committee at which time DolleY's
successor will be named. The Dolley
resignation is effective as soon as his sue
ceSSOr is named.

Save all the Feed You can.

visit to northwestern Iowa, from the
Ohio River at Evansville, Ind, through
Indiana and from Chicago to Sioux
City, Iowa. The crops are late and

and the late spring opening.
Grass and oats very short; corn only
a fair stand, generally very late. 1t
looks like high-priced feed next win

ing millions of tons of good forage usu
ally lost entirely.

a fine hay. Melilotus Alba, or sweet
clover can be cut and makes a good

and keep well. If care is taken to
keep the stack full in the middle and

The Farmers Wife.

Exercise is another of the good
things of life that is not as we'll dis
tributed as it might be. Many of you
who peruse these reflections may be
in need of it.
The president of the Mississippi Nor
NAL college has been figuring. He
finds that a farmers wife averages six
Journeys a day to the we'll, just for
water for cooking and washing. She
handles the water five times-from the
we'll to the surface, from there to the
kitchen, then into the kettle, from ket-
tie to dishpan, from dishpan to out
door sink. If she uses two buckets at
a time, which u statistician says she
does, each trip means 200 pounds lift
3D., or five times handling of four gal
Ions, weight 40 pounds. She handles
another 500 pounds dal1 in addition
to this 1900 for cooking kitchen pur-
etc. The average farmers wife, there
fore, handles a ton of water a day,
among other things that she does.
These figures may be exaggerated.
But the average farmers wife does do
work amounting to the lifting of man
tons, which could be avoided by the
provision of conveniences.-Greens-
boro News.

Dynamite, Corn ana the Drought.

MI. w. w. Henley, who lives two
miles south of Jonesboro, tells the
Express that he trIeo JGamite on N
rev of his corn this year as an expe-
riment. He exploded the dynamite in
holes 10 feet apart. The dynamite
put in a row is supposed tt pulverize
and loosen the ground, covering a
space of five rows. Mr.. Henley says
the corn in the row in which he put
the dynamite did not suffer a particle
during the recent dry spell and that
the corn in the other four rows suffer-
ed very little. Mr.. Henley says it is
claimed that dynamite will protect
corn against drought about as much
the second year as the first. He has
about reached the conclusion that
there is virtue in it and that it protects
corn against drought. Mr. Henley
says the dynamite required for an acre
will cost about $15.-Sanford Express.

Why the Farmer Must be Educated.

In a recent issue of the Irish Home
stead, the organ of Sir Horace Punk
etts famous farmers Cooperative
Movement i'm Ireland, Editor G. w. E.
Russell makes a compelling argument
Tor the educated farmer when he says !.
THE modern farm must be looked
upon as a chemical factory where. by
the most varied and perfect processes
known to science, raw materials
useless in their existing form for hu-
man food-are turned into the most
Important of all products, that is, into
human food. In all other chemical
factories whose produce is of far less
Importance to the human race than are
the food products of the farm, it would
be looked upon as almost criminal folly
to put such a factory in charge of an
uneducated men, who knew nothing of
the scientific nature of the processes
the raw material went through, and
worked only by antiquated rough and
ready rule of thumb. The farmer, who
nowadays is in the position of mana
ger to a chemical factory, must be a
highly trained scient st, whose training
is supplemented by sound practical ex-
perience."

Retiring the Work Horse.

That labor is life to the old horse
whose days and strength have been
devoted to hard and continuous toll, is
d fact that is coming to be more fire.
quently noted as the equine veterans
are laid off and other methods substi-
tuted for horse power. 1t follows that
the fairest and perhaps most humane
reward for the old horse who has
worked habitually should not be re-
tirement to absolute idleness but rath-
er that there should be for him a
gradual lessening and tightening of
the labor to which he has so long been
used. =
Old Charlie was a gray horse who
had been active in the harness for thir-
ty years, working in a undergrad.
The owner would not sell the faithful
old fellow, but retired him on a pen
sion for the rest of his natural life. He
was sent away to>a pasture, but in
stead of kicking up his heels and roll
ing on the ground like a colt, he look
ed unhappy IN AN idle life; and so he
was. For they took him back to his
cid stable in the city and to his old
stall, and he picked up in health and
spirits at once. When the other
horses with whom he had done his
daily tasks went out to their work in
the morning Charlie would tug at his
halter and try to get away with them,
and SO every morning they would put
his harness on him and let him go,
without cart or load, anywhere he
wanted in the lot. This encouraged
him with the idea that he was bus.
aiding the lumber business as he had
done all his life.
The work-horse that is relegated to
absolute idleness after long years of
service is not unlike the man who is
similarly and suddenly retired from &C
tive business life. Both quickly be-
come i'll at ease and in many cases
pine away and die. Men have prayed
that they might "die in the harness"
and there not good ground in tn NIX =
ing that under natural conditions such
a fate is the happiest and most well
come to the old horse to whom life has
been little else than labor? The ami
mails have not had their last say. The
cid horse, under the force of habit and
love for work, teaches eloquently to
men the tremendous power of habit,
and the beauty and joy of an industr1-
Gus life.7Our Dumb Animals.
