THINK PARTIES WILL REuNITE

THINK PARTIES WILL REUNiTE
confirmation of the Judgment of
sagacious politicians In Congress
that events were drifting toward a
coalition Of the Republican and Bull
Moose parties is to be found in the
result of the recent conference at
Oyster Bay.
Colonel Roosevelt and a number
Of his Progressive lieutenants, real
izing the futility Of conducting an in
dependent Bull Moose campaign In
New York state this fall, virtually
decided to endorse Republican can
didates ON the State ticket whose
aims and aspirations comported to
bull moose ideas.
The inference drawn from the news
at Oyster Bay is that there may be
an exchange of endorsements be-
tween the two parties, and both Re-
publicans and Progressives may be
put on the ticket.
This was the most cheering news
which has reached Republicans In
Congress for many a day. To their
minds, it foreshadows an eventual
merger between the rank and file OF
the G. o. P. and the boiling bull
moose, In which the Progressive
leaders by very force Of circum-
stances must sooner or later ac-
quiesce. IT, IL
While the New York program has
not yet been fully worked out 1t Is
anticipated that concessions will be
worked out whereby some of the "old
guard" will retire from the firing
line in the interest OF harmonizing
the two elements that formerly con.
stituted the Republican party. The
New York Democracy Is confronted
with a dismal prospect in the fall,
and the wisdom of adjusting their diff
ferences has become obvious to the
G. O. P. and bull moose leaders.
Undoubtedly the example set by New
York will be followed by other states
and the dream of the Republican pol
iticians Of reunited party may be
realized before the 1915 national
campaign.

CONTROL OF SOIL MOISTURE
Many Gardeners Not Doing Much to
Increase Supply of Humus-cover
Crops Are Valuable.

Most market gardeners depend upon
the supply of soil humus and upon till
age operations to control soil moisture
Both factors are exceedingly import
ant. Soils which are well charged with
humus or decaying organic matter
usually contain enough moisture to
grow good crops of vegetables, pro-
vided the soil is properly titled. A host
of growers, however, are not doing as
much as they might to increase the
humus supply of the soil 1t is un-
necessary to rely wholly upon stable
manures. Cover crops of crimson Glow
er, rye, vetch. oats, etc, are usually
easy to start and their value in adding
to the humus content of the soil is
very great.

II the tent caterpillar pitches its
home in your orchard. remember that
its flock is gathered together in the
home at night, the members going
forth by day to look for food. A torch
applied to the home evenings or early
mornings catches the worm in guam

bunch of brown worms with red
markings clustered on the trunk Of a
walnut or apple tree do not be alarmed
but get busy. Like the swarm of bees
they will not hang there many hours
for they are only melting. BY the
next day the old skins alone will be
left to tell the story, while the larvae,
each in a bright, new coat, win be
scattered over the tree, rapidly denud-
ing it of its leaves. This is the hand

taking advantage of its peculiar hab-

FEW SHEEP PAY WELL
Animals Are Most Profitable In
VeStment for Farmers.
Owner of Flock Of Thirty-six CT lie
Shropshires Cleared 1928 in One
Year-AnlnaIs Given No Es-
pecial Attention.
(Ry ]. n. BELLE

The small farmer should always
have flock of sheep on hand, as
these animals are one of the most
profitable investments that he can
handle.
This is an account Of the proceeds
derived from a flock of SO grade
Shropshire ewes in one season.
This flock received no especial at
tention, so far as feed and care were
concerned, although. of course, at
lambing time they were we'll looked
after. The ewes who did not take
their lambs naturally were induced to
nurse them If possible; If not, then
these neglected lambs were raised on
the bottle, but in the entire flock of SO
lambs that were not two that had to
be raised by hand.
The owner of this flock tells me that
his Sc lambs netted him $3.50 each on
the farm; that the wool from the SO
ewes and one buck, who sheared an
average of six pounds each, netted so
cents the pound.
This makes SO lambs at $3.50 the
head, 1884; 216 pounds of wool at 80

GOOD CARE OF FARM TOOLS
NO Farmer Can Afford TO Allow HIs
Implement to Rust out-Cover
the Machinery.

of ali the people doing business, the
farmer is the most careful and eco
nomical in the use of grease. 1t is
seldom that the farmer touches grease
and yet there are few kinds of work
demanding more frequent use of it.
Inc farmer is a user of more kinds
OF tools than any other artifcer. If
ne is not a mechanic it is his own
fault, and his own disadvantage and
loss, because he handles and operates
all sorts of tools, machines and i'm
PIGMENTS usual to the common me-
chanic.
The farmer, above all other tool
handlers and tool users, works at a
disadvantage, 1t matters not how
careful he tries 70 be in the care of
MS tools to keep them dry, he will
md occasion to go out in the rain,
snow or damp and use the saw, auger,
chisel or other tool, and If 1t is not
carefully dried and oiled or creased it
Is very apt to rust from this exposure.
No farm tool need rust out, used
or unused. Every farm tool, imple-
ment and machine should be oiled.
creased or preserved from dampness,
wet and rust. They should be care.
fully wiped when used and then be
ready to lay aside. Grease is the best
application and lasts longer than most
oils. All hand tools of the edged sort
should have dry place to be stored
in, and kept in this place when not
in use, and by all means carefully
cleaned, wiped and creased when put
away.
The machines of the farm-mowers,
reapers, ETC., should be put in out OF
the weather and oiled, creased
cleaned off, preserved from rust and
decay. See how many machines and
tools there are on the farm that are
intended for use next spring and sum-
mer that are now under roof and not
in the least liable to the damaging in
tiuences Of rust. No farmer can af-
ford to rust out his farm equippage,
no matter how much he is making
~ feeding cattle and hogs or raising
grain.
