Well they have had that special cleo
tion over in Main for a member in
Congress and when the votes were
counted the q. o. r. candidate was
found TO have been elected by plur.
ality OF some 500.odd votes over his
democratic and progressive opponents,
Notwithstanding that the district went
heavily progressive last fall and that
the big guns of the democrats and
progresslves were trained on the repub-
lican candidate all through the cam
paign for the special election. The
things shown by this election, beyond
the shadow .of doubt. are that the
people voted for Roosevelt and not for
the progressive party or principles last
fall; that they are returning 20 the
republican fold rapidly and that the
protective vote In this nation ont num-
bers that Of the free trade by q very
large majority. The Main election
bat bore out the results of the Mich
igan election last spring.

Maine isn't the only place in which
the progressives were disappointed this
week The much advertised conference
of the Michigan progressives at Bots
Blance was about as much of a frost
as has been reported. Not quite 200
men. women and children wore badges
of the progressives., although Detroit
was but a stones throw away where
the woods are supposed to be full Of
progressives. One statement made

presses the situation about as conoisely
as ir can be expressed. He said that
neither the republicans nor the pro-
gressives can do much while the two
parties exist.

The month just closing witnessed two
anniversary events of more than pass
ing importance. One was the reunion
OF the G.. A. r. on the fiftieth ami
versary of the battle of Chlckamagua
and the other was the Tooth anniver-
sary OF the battle of Lake Erie. Chick
amagua marked the turning OF opera
tions in the west for the union as not
after that drawn battle did the arms of
the south triumph in any clash and the
result OF the contest that welded
a nation out of collection of sections
was never in doubt from that day.
Thousands Of veterans who wore grey
seized this opportunity to meet with
their former opponents to clasp hands
and salute together the starry banner
that floats over the north and south
alike. The battle OF Lake Erie secured
Go the United States the great lakes
which had been wrested from us by

The loss of hupus in the soil re-
cults In the increasing of its power OF
storing up and properly supplying
crops with water. Soils with liberal
supply of humus are capable OF more
effectually withstanding drought than
similar soils with less humus. The
oat crop fills the soil full of roots, and
the stubble also adds much humus to
the soil.
The oat grain is very valuable feed,
especially for young animals, because
OF its moderately high protein content
and the large amount of ash and min
eral matter. Pound for pound. oats
are not as valuable for feeding ma
ture animals as corn. four pounds OF
corn being equal to about five pounds
OF oats. However. when we consider
the cost OF growing the two crops and
the fact that feed is always scarce
when the oat crop Is harvested, we are
forced to admit that every farmer in
the cotton belt should grow oats.
In attempting 20 build up the worn
out cotton lands, we must depend very
largely on tho leguminous crops. Now
tho cat crop Is harvested early enough
TO permit the growing OF a leguminous
crop. The leguminous crop may be
plowed under or IL may be used as
feed, and the manure returned 10 the

There are three methods commonly

formly, the small ridges made by the
drill afford slight degree of protec-

drilled oats is usually greater than that

and the larger crops that usually re-
suit from drilled oats. will soon pay
for good drill on the farm.
It Is well nigh impossible to discuss
oats In the cotton belt without discuss
ing lespedeza, cow peas, soy beans and
peanuts, as these crops are almost as
much counterpart of oatC as the
Siamese twin Ang was Of his brother
Chang.
AS soon as all danger or frost is
past, SOW about one bushel of lespe-

ever. 1t is advisable to divide the
bushel into two halves and SOW them
broadcast, first one-half over the land
walking east and west and the other
half walking north and south.
The oats will be ready to cut in May
and June. At this time the lospedeza
plants will be so small as to be hard

whether you have a stand or not. Up
to that time the oats have been taking
the strength and water from the soil
but the first summer rain makes a diff.

offal is hauled away after each killing.
The example of these two plants
shows that clean slaughtering Is not
necessarily a nuisance, and that 1t is
best to locate the slaughtering house
within the limits of the city, SO as to
secure not only an abundant water
supply and sewerage facilities, but
closer inspection on the part of both
the officials and the consuming public.
Europe has found the municipal
abattoir to be the remedy for local
meat inspection. The plan is to erect
one abattoir for the smaller cities and
towns and more for the larger cities
and towns, depending on the number
of animals slaughtered. These abat.
toirs are either erected by the butch.
ers through joint stock company. or
by the city itself. They are then de
clared to be the municipal abattoir,
and all animals are required to be
slaughtered therein. The abattoir is
open to all who desire to slaughter

prevailed for oats during the last five
years, the GO bushels will sell for from

will often pay for growing the grain.
II Is best to plant oats after corn

vines into pieces with disk harrow.
Tho disk harrow is the best possible
implement in preparing the corn and
pea fields for oats. The drill will

when working in uncut stalks and pea

the figures are In raised velvets.
There are, of course. very rich and
they are expensive.
Like so many Of our fashionable out

kimona sleeve. A heavy cord covered
with the fabric is used for embellish-
ing the coat and eccentuating certain
lines in 1t. They keep It shapely.
Without them the coat would not hang
well. AS in the present styles it is the
hanging and not the fitting which is
of paramount importance, such cords.

placed. one at each side. They are
made by shirring two strips OF the
material, leaving a ruffle about a half
inch wide at each side OF the puff
To protect both the coat and the
neck of the wearer, little plating
of fine net is worn. The net is plain

season, including coats, plush and fur
neckpieces, waists and dresses, is pro
vided with washable plating. Wo-

Fine, washable laces are used for
this purpose. especially in gowns, and
are wired at the back to keep them

This coat fastens with small hooks
and eyes at the front. 1t slants away
from the bust line.
The small hat worn with 1t is Of
brilliant corded silk in the same color.
II has a dropping brim with puff Of
velvet about 1t. A Numidi feather IN

be placed at the front and be equally
fashionable, for those who would like
II better there.
A wreath - dry velvet roses Is
placed about the crown, with velvet
foliage. The corded silk is laid in
plaits about the crown. and the raw
edge turned under. The rose-wreath
defines the line at which the crown
and brim meet.

AS the weather grows colder Ihis

for the entire season. 1t would be e
