middle piece.
The ribs should spring from the
back. but they should not be entirely
round. They should rather spring
well and allow the animal to be turn
ed out slightly fiat from the sides.
There will then be less wasteful fat
on the top without decreasing the
depth OF the pig.
What is wanted Is a pig that con-
tains a maximum OF lean meat and an
undercut with as much streaky as pos
sible. The loin should OF course be
covered and muscular. because so
much depends on good development

addition to the domestic supply, will
leave the American market under the
influence of the general advance in
world prices.
One of the arguments that has been
put forward against the destruction of
the American sugar growing industry
through the removal of the import
duty on sugar is that it would expose
American consumers to all the violent
fluctuations that take place in the
European sugar market as result of
war, speculation or crop shortages.
The present situation affords a strik-
ing illustration of the truth Of this
claim. If the United States were to
double its sugar production, as might
easily be done by the systematic de-
velopment of it's cane and beet grow
ing industries, the American people
would be entirely independent Of the
rest of the world for their sugar sup
ply.

the coming fair time. There are some
very fine specimens of crops included
in this exhibit and they are not only
fair representations of what can be
raised in a good agricultural district
but represent the careful attention our
farmers give their crops. No extra
efforts have been spent to make them
fine for exhibition and no special care
given to them to make them grow.
The best, however, has been picked
from the regular crops as they were
discovered. Among the collections is
a specimen of alfalfa grown on the
Mayor ranch, by L. F. Broker and
measures sixty-nine inches in height.
Another specimen is three stalks of
corn grown in the Wiley Gardens by
Mr.. Kissler. Each stalk measures
fourteen feet in height. We are not

but we challenge any community to
show us something that will beat it

Washington, Aug. 15.-In the face
of the greatest financial panic the
country has ever known, the demo-
cratic party in congress had to turn
back to the republican currency law
to avert financial disster. Never, per-
haps, did great party in complete
control of all the branches of govern
ment ever eat such humble pie as did
the democrats when they asked the
congress to use the terms of the Vree-
land-Aldrich currency bill to save the
country from panic.
For five years the Vreeland-Aldrich
currency bill has been the favorite
source of criticism by the democrats.
They attacked it from every side. Yet
when they came to pass their own
Glass-Owen currency bill for the pur-
pose of preventing panics, they en-
bodied therein the essential features

will give talk on silos, silage feed
ing and such subjects. He also will
be glad to answer any questions that
you have to ask along this line. At
the fair grounds later in the day will
be slides and talks on silo building
and the pit silo. Every one come and
spend the day.

similar day near Holly, SO watch the

Corn and the Sil0

No farmer who owns any amount of
stock should attempt to do without a
silo. Good corn silage will make the
careful stock man prosperous. A lit
tie consideration of the matter will
convince him that after working all
summer on high priced land, with
high priced horses and mules and ex-
pensive machinery it is greatly to his
advantage to get full value from his
corn crop. 1t easily pays for itself in
one year, owing to the feed it saves
which formerly went to waste.
Fifty bushels of corn at 10 cents
per bushel, is worth $35. Put this in
the silo along with an acre Of stalks
and the combination is worth $55 to
$50. If the farmer plans his work
right he can put up an acre Of ensilage
for around Sc Storage COST The use
of the silo in a case like the above
suits in a net profit of SIS at con-
servative estimate.
So we find that the silo is not an
investment of money which has al
ready been made on the farm. 1t is one
of the few things in this world which
will pay for itself quickly, then re-
suit in a larger bank account for the
owner.
Ensilage will not do everything. The
painter who does not know how to
compound the ingedients which make
serviceable paint, will not get much
trade. The farmer who does not know
how to compound and use feed will
not have the success which his en-
lightened neighbor will.
Throughout the great agricultural
sections Indian corn, kafir and cane
are the best crops for ensilage because
these crops produce from two to eight
times as much feed to the acre as
other crops. Cane and kafir frequent
ly yield twice as much ensilage a. In

NELLIE, THE BEAUTIFUL CLOAK
MODEL
A Political Application of Well
Known Little Story

Most of our statesmen are too SER
ious, but Representative Kahn, born
in Kuppenheim, Germany, is one
congressman who sees the humorous
side of political life. On recent hot
afternoon in the house of representa-
tives, Mr.. Kahn said:
"The democratic party has constant
ly assured the manufacturers and bus
mess men of this country that there
was nothing to fear from the legisla-
ton proposed by the members of that
party. No doubt the manufacturers
and producers for time believed the
statements that emanated from the
lips of the distinguished gentlemen on
the other side Of the aisle and from
the gentleman who heads the execu-
tive department of the government.
They have had an awakening.
"The New York Sun published
little item several months ago which
exactly pictures the condition Of the
business world today. 1t is as fol-
lows:

"Sir: The kind words from the ad-
ministration to the business interests

william pushed Nellie off the Brooklyn
bridge. Later he threw her overheard
from an Atlantic liner. Later still,
he thrust her under descending ele-
vator. The next time they met, he
said, "Nellie, why do you fear me?"
"The business interests of the coun-
try have grown afraid of the legisla-
ton that was threatened and that is
being enacted by the democratic ma
jority."

American Road Congress

Mayor Doughty Of Lamar has been
requested by the Hon. A. B. Fletcher,
president Of the Fourth American
Road Congress and State Highway
Engineers of California - name
three delegates tn attend the sessions
of the congress at Atlanta, Georgia,
during the week Of November 9th.
Forty-seven great organizations are
taking part in the congress under
the leadership of the American High
way Association and the American
Automobile Association. In his letter
to the mayor President Fletcher calls
attention to the fact that practically
every state highway commissioner
will be present and take part in the
discussion Of the important problems
of road construction and maintenance
and that some of the foremost men
in public life will devote their atten-
ton to the great question of federal
aid to road Improvement, in an en-
deavor to work out a policy which
may be submitted to the congress of
the United States with the support Of
the organized road movement of the
country. An important move bearing
upon state legislation will be made at
the session to be held under the aus
prices of the American Bar Associa-
ton. at which a Joint committee, ap-
pointed at the 1918 congress, will re-
mort progress in compilation and sug-
gested revision of state road laws.
The creation of a commission partic-
mated in by each state to work out
a revision of the road laws will be
urged. The National Civil Service
Reform League will hold an exceed
