Leave Jepson Alone.

Atty. w. r. Morris attempted to.
say something for "his friend" Hon
Lowell P. Jepson, candidate for Con-
gress from the 10th Dist, at the meet
ing on Thursday even. Atty. Morris
has had way of putting over good
word for his friends because he is
generally called on to speak. He was
asked to talk, it being rumored that
he was a supporter of Williams for
Mayor, as he is associated with Atty.
Franklin, it was so intended to COM
NIT the Hon. w. r. Morris, who is
generally doubted as to his stand. He
waits until he sees the actual result of
the efforts of others. But he came
out for Mr.. Nye and will keep his;
word. 1t has been shown through
these columns that Hon. Thos d
Schall is safe and sound on all mat
tiers effecting the Negro Mr. Nor.
ris knew that Mr.. Jepson did not
answer the question asked by the Ma
tional Society for the Advancement Of
Colored People satisfactory. He does
not answer as to Segregation in the
Federal Service. Mr.. Schall answers
all questions satisfactory as does
Candidates Fred. M. Powers and Geo
r. Smith, of the sth Dist. Mr.. Jepson
may have his views against intermar-
riage. Many do not favor this who
tell us they do, but why should he
hesitate to take a decided stand
against Segregation, knowing that he
seeks a position where his work is
needed in protest, if he is true to his
Negro constituents. He says, che has
been actively interested in, and sup
porter of educational work among the
people of the South" That is good
There are many mendicants who get
an 0. X. from Mr.. Morris and hustle
on the friends of the race for educa-
tional purposes, but let us hope that
Mr.. Jepson's donations were not mis-
carried. As Senator Mr.. Jepson
voted against Jacobson's Famous
Gross Earnings Tax Bill. His one
vote defeated this bill which had
passed the House. He favored the
railroads, as the success of this bill
meant the savings to the taxpayers
many thousands each year. Atty
Francis spoke in defense of Hon
Thos. D. .Schall and urged the voters
to send Mr.. -Schall to Congress as
he could be depended upon to keer
up the good fight being made in
our behalf by the present Congress

BEST GAINS WITH POULTRY
Feeding Experiments With Three Dr.

As q result of feeding experiments
conducted at the Missouri station II
was concluded that whole grain does
not fatten chickens; that 1t il cheaper
to feed the grain finely ground; and
that the best gains can be had by
feeding birds finely ground feeds when
confined in crates. In feeding expert

rations composed Of various amounts
OF corn meal. the gains made we're in
proportion to the amount Of corn in
the ration. The best returns resulted
from a ration consisting Of "a parts

birds fed on this ration was creamy

BEST PRICES FOR PRODUCTS
oy Cooperation Farmers Can Offer
Large Quantities Which Will
Attract the Buyers.

There are three important reasons
Why the small independent farmer
cannot get the best prices for his
products. In the drst place he has but
Q small amount of any one thing to
cell, and 1t makes very little differ
ence to the dealer whether he gets his
small business or not In the second
place. the dealer Who buys his prod
acts must also buy from q number Of
other small farmers. with the result
that what he gets in any community
b. as a rule, not uniform and must
cell az mixed stun and at q low price;
consequently. he cannot pay as much
- In many instances the product Of
the individual farmer Is worth. The
bird condition is that, as q rule. the
small farmer has his product at q
town or terminal market where. II he
does not sell, he is under considerable
expense to hold his product or to get
Il back to the farm. BY cooperation
IN selling they can offer for sale large
Quantities which will attract buyers:
and by bringing the buyer to them,
they can either sell their product for
what Is offered, or hold 1t on their
hrms until a better price can be OBJ

Of tons Of cottonseed meal annually
are shipped to the northern states and

SIL0S IN The SOUTH
MANY ADVANTAGES GIVEN TO
THE STOCK RAISER.
Used for Both Summer and Winter
Fsedins-Means Afforded for Album
dance Of Sueeulent Feed for
Cattle at All Times.
(By A. L. HAECKER.)

(By A. L. HAECKER.)
The silo IL coming into general use,
and everywhere we hear Of its good
report. Texas il probably buying
more silos this year than any state
in the Union. The great cattle in
dustry of this state has tested out the
silo, and found 1t not only practical.
but giving advantages to the southern
stock raiser, which makes 1t q neces-
sity. In the South. they use the silo
for both summer and winter feeding;
perhaps 1t is more valuable for sum
mer feeding than winter. The large
variety Of splendid forage crops. which
can be grown in the southern states
gives the man with the silo an oppor-
tunity to produce not only the best.
but also the cheapest stock food.
The secret Of success in stock rails
ing lies in the cost Of the ration. The
great free ranges Of the West proved
this In days gone by. For the future.
It will mean that the stock business
will best thrive where the ration can
be made the cheapest. The silo fur
nishes a means whereby forage can
be preserved. not only for one season
but for several years. It furnishes q
means of saving all of the nutriment
Of the plant and turns 1t out in q sue
culent and nutritive form.
The two great food elements for
all animals are carbohydrates and
protein. The cheapest known form
of carbohydrates on the farm IL 81

Protein Is found in the cheaper form
in the legumes. such as alfalfa. clover.
