ladies came with all kinds of

This debate showed in a re-

private societies, and how thorough

Immigration" and other ques-
tions of the time that enabled
him to vanquish his adversaries.
Other gifts and qualities as a de-
batter brought him success, par
ticularly those that command ad-
miration from an intelligent, dis
passionate audience, restraint in
the speaker, that puts a check
upon unfair as we'll as inconclu-

of temper and of anything bitter
or personal in the style and man.

an unbecoming taunt or fling at

the most heated of the societies

RATION FOR EWES IN LAMB.
Alfalfa Hay With Corn Makes an Ex'
ceIlent Winter Feed.

Thousands of ewes carrying lambs
are successfully fed in this country
every winter with no other feed than
good bright alfalfa hay, says the Ma
tiOnal StOckman. However, it will do
no harm, and it may be we'll to give
these ewes a light ration of corn in
addition to the hay, especially as they
approach lambing time. If the ewes
are young they will do as well on the
whole corn as if it is ground.
In large sized flock. however, some
ewes will not have the best of teeth,
and it will be we'll to crack the corn.
but it should be coarse. Sheep like
corn in this condition much better
than the meal. Start with a quarter
of Il pound of corn per eve per day or
even less and increase to half pound
as lambing time approaches. If the
ewes are westerns that have not tast-
ed corn start with but a few grains
per eve daily until they learn to eat
it. Give all the alfalfa hay they will
eat up clean. Supply plenty of fresh
water that is so clean you yourself
would drink it. Give salt regularly,
and it would be advisable to use
good indicated salt.

SILAGE FOR SHEEP.
JudiciousIy Used Ensilage Is a Cheap
and Valuable Feed.

JudieiousIy Used EnsiIage Is a Cheap
and Valuable Feed.
Accurate data regarding the value
Of silage in a ration for fattening
sheep and lambs are scarce, but what
there are indicate that it is useful, says
Ellis Roll of the University Of Ne
braska. AS far back as the early nine
ties the Michigan experiment station
fed some lambs on silage and other
foodstuffs. The gist of their findings
is to the effect that a mixture Of
folders composed largely of a good
quality of silage proved a cheap and
successful ration for fattening lambs
The Iowa station at Ames made
some comparative tests of dry hays.
roots and silage as rOughage in 1906
and 1907. In lots fed the first winter
the silage cheapened the ration consid-
erably. During the second winter the
various lots were fed for long period,
16S days. and the silage lot refused to
eat much Silage. They ate almost as
much grain and hay as the other lot
did and the gain on these silage lambs
was more expensive than was that
with some of the other food cOmbina-
tons. But the average of the two
years was favorable to the use of
silage as a means of cheapening the
ration The lambs from all lots fin
ished into market tOppers. but the
dressed carcasses showed the Silage
lambs little superior on the hook.
Taking these few experiments then
into consideration and also the gen.
eral results which various feeders have
obtained in practical work. it seems
that silage has an important place
among desirable and economical feeds
for fattening sheep.
1t is my opinion that silage can be
fed to sheep with satisfactory results.
The use of mOldy or frozen silage may
cause trouble, but good. clean. bright
silage can be used with excellent re-
suits. either as a succulent food for
breeding ewes in winter or as cheap
but satisfactory and efficient roughage
for fattening sheep and lambs. This
opinion is based partially on observa.
lions of fiOcks which have been FED
and partially on the experiments quot
ed above. The results TO date point
toward silage as a cheap and valuable
feed for sheep.

Free Hogs From Lice.

Lice on hogs can be eradicateJ by
applying along the back of each hog
some crude oil. They can also be sill
ed by washing or dipping the hog in
coal tar dips. several of which are ON

pigs should always be clean and free
from dust. A NANCY. lousy hog IS not
healthy hog. and the dust and fifth

WINTER FEED FOR FOWLS

An ample as we'll as varied supply
Of green feed to hens during the win
ter is important for the health Of the
fowls. Its value does not lie in the
amount of nutriment it contains, bug
as an agent in digestion. Fowls eat
more when fed green food than other
wise Vegetables induce increased eat
ing. hence Increased egg production.
Nearly all the common vegetables
are relished by fowls, and they should
be fed at regular intervals. Mangels
are easy to raise and keep well. Cab
bage is good food; the hens Ike ix.
and it does not flavor the egg Tur-
nips are an excellent vegetable for
fowls when grown right. stored and
cooked Rape is an excellent green
food to plant in the runs Potatoes
are good only when boiled. As rule
they are too expensive to feed to pouh
try. Onions, when they can be had
are an excellent feed and. like LETT
tuce, are excellent for chicks. Silags'
may be used. provided that only q
small quantity Is fed at first until the

RURAL ORGANIZATION.

That rural life should be or
ganized and can be organized is
clear. Various agencies are def
nitely attacking its intellectual
side. We are effectively study
ing rural physical improvements.
especially good roads. The coun-
try roads are prerequisite for
many important rural undertak-
ings. They are prerequisite for
better marketing. for better
schools. for comfortable living
and for the promotion of social
life.
There is obvious need OF Or
ganization for sanitary purposes
and for social development.
Whether all these shall come
through definite attack of pri-
vate or public agencies or as
byproducts makes no differ
ence; they must come. We can
no longer entertain the notion
that rural life shall remain iso-
lated. disjointed and morgan
lied. Its organization is a nation
al, economic and social neces-
sity. 1t is more difficult to or
ganiZe a scattered rural popula-
ton than a concentrated one,
but the great need Is TO give
the rural population at least ap-
prOximately the primary adyan-
tages which the town enjoys.
The town is organization, and
because of its organization and
Of its consequent advantages it
has tended to attract to it the
most ambitious youth of the
country. The task of rural or
ganizatiOn is difficult, but as the
greatest educator Of America
has said, THE difficulty Of a
task constitutes no reason for
declining it." And in this way
lies the largest promise for ma
tional upbuilding and stability

The Work OF Congress.

IL LlS ScIIIiSIIISH WIN have
been so active in attempts to
dispense Congress with three
important measures suspended !,
for winter of agitation, will
look at the matter in the proper
light, they will openly renew
their campaign, and urge the
Senate to limit debate and act
promptly.
Six weeks debate on the toll
exemption repeal was a shame
less waste of time. 1t was pure.
ly q campaign of obstruction,
with nothing to sustain it.
The measures now before the
Senate were sent there by a nom
partisan vote. They are called
for in every political platform
and indorsed in glittering gen.
eralities by every conspicuous
leader.
This Congress has been in
structed by the people to enact
these measures.
They are not radical. They
are experimental. They follow
the public demand. They define
alike the scope of individual &C
ton, and mark the limitation of
governmental activity.
Here we rest for two years at
any rate.
Therefore let all of us protest
against obstruction or unreason-
able delay.
If 'twere done when tits done,
'twere well 'twere done quickly.
Then we shall all know where
we stand. and what is the basis
of future commercial expansion.
With great crops; with sound
finances; with lower taxes; with
the railroad rate question out of
the way, with peace assured in
Mexico, and Congress adjourned,
we may expect, if not a boom.
at least a healthy expansion of
business. Louisville Post.

Jeter Wins Big -Four Gavel.

AS was predicted by his friends
Leslie Jeter won the gavel for
the Big Four Society in spirited
debate at the Opera House in
Bowling Green, KY, last Mon
day evening.
For a month the words Big
Four and Coreco had been heard
on the streets, in the homes and
in The schools of the city. Inter-
est became so general that the
business men decorated their
windows with yellow and green,
the colors of the two societies.
There was hardly a man or wom-
an in the city that did not take
sides in the contest. On the
eighteenth of May the two soci-
cites met at the Business Univer-
sity and marched with military
precision to the Opera House.
Led by Topmiller's Band. They
entered the great auditorium
with hundreds of banners and
remnants floating in the air. At
ter the two societies had given
vent to their college spirit by
way of society yells and songs
the speaking began. Itwas gen.
orally conceded when the last
man on the affirmative finished
his speech that the Corecos were
in the lead. Because of his I'm.
usual wit and eloquence, Mr.. Je-
ter had been selected to make
the final speech for the negative.
Amid deafening applause he
approached the center of the
stage, easy and seemingly I'M
concerned. He began his speech
at a rather low pitch but his
voice gathered in volume and in
tensity and almost every sem
tence was greeted with a roar of
applause. Before he was half
through with his speech the Cor
ecos began to turn nervously in
their seats and some of the young
ladies of the opposing society
even broke down and cried.
Three times during his speech
the yelling team of his society
rose and gave Fifteen Rails for
Jeter." He concluded his speech
with an oratorical climax that
held his audience almost breath
less.
When the decision was rem
dered in his favor, pandimonium
broke loose; some threw their
hats into the air; others jumped
into seats and chairs and waved
remnants and handkerchiefs. AS
soon as the decision was render
ed the champion speaker of the
opposing side dashed across the
