reason for the people to worry about
the hereafter for the millennium would
already have been reached upon earth
and peace and good will made an actual
reality. In studying the pictures of
other lands than ours it is always well
to turn over the page and see what is
concealed by the brush of the artist and
pencil OF the word painter. Nature is
always factor to be reckoned with in
any land and those who fail to give
this fact due consideration are doomed
to disappointment of a very gloomy
nature.

La Grippe Leave, Its Victims Prostrate

Some victims of la grippe never fully

FLOCK CANNOT TANGO
WITH THE DEVIL

The Rev. Charles B. Bullard, Of East
Orange, N. J. has resigned his pastor
ate, giving as his reason the fact that
members of his flock approve OF modern
dances. 'Men cannot tango with the
devil and walk with God" he is report
ed 5 saying. "When they insist on 50
doing it is time for their pastor to hold
their souls up to the light"
Emap< ing from man of almost any
other session the language used by
the revel ned gentlemen would indicate
that the speaker is afraid of the devil,
and that he is quitting his charge at a
critical time, when it needs him most.
1t is hard to follow Mr.. Bullard, even
making due allowance for the narrow
ness of his vision. If it be impossible
for men to ''tango with the devil and
walk with God," and if the communi-
cants Of Mr.. Billiards. church SHOW a
tendency TO tango with satan as a part
ner, then they are surely in need OF q
spiritual adviser who can show them
the light, not "show their souls up. to
light"
1t is not his office to punish and at
this present writing it would seem that
both the erring members of his flock
and Their demon partner have little
the Jest OF the preacher.
And now it has been found that tango
is a religious ceremony among certain
South American tribesmen. Hope this
will not lead to a new American cult.

REALLY POOR POLICY
Colonel Roosevelt May Rue His
Success In. Louisiana.
Prospects Are IL VIII Turn Out to Be
Another OF the Many Wrong Moves
He Has Seen Making
Recently.

Mr.. Roosevelt has been playing in
hard luck ever since he came back
from the famous river that runs up
hill. o
He made vicious attack on Presi-
dent Wilson's foreign policy as
weak" silly" and 1.-The laughing
stock OF Europe" yet thanks to that
policy, America is at peace while Eu-
rope 10 wrapped In the flames OF
war.
He denounced tbs amendment to the
Panama canal act to square with
treaty obligations. just at the moment
when diregard OF such obligations
abroad has provoked the wrath of the
civilized world.
He tried to force New York Progress
sives to accept stand-pat Republican
as their candidate for governor and
found himself facing An Armageddon
mutiny. He has heaped blunder on
blunder, made one wrong move after
another. and hts vision Of returning
to the White House has grown dim
mer with each passing day.
In this parlous plight. Mr., Roosevelt
had chance to gain the support OF.
the peeved sugar baxous Of Louisiana.
Naturally, he seized that chance He
rallied the gumdrop guards with the
old, familiar, cry Of tariff loot. He en-
couraged them to look upon him as;
the one captain who could lead them
once more through the doors of the
United States treasury. He made sure
that the Louisiana delegation In the
next Progressiys-or Republican-con-.
vention will vote right"
This is what MI. Roosevelt started
out to do, and he did It. His Louisiana
speech was not intended as contri-
button to accurate history or sound
craftsmanship. Mr Roosevelt does
not know the meaning Of those terms.
and if he did he would denounce them
as encouraging mollycoddles- His
speech to the sugar interests was in
tended to catch the favor OF disgrun-
tied gang-and It succeeded.
How much Mr.. Roosevelt will profit
by that sort Of success is another and
totally different matter.

Those Who Pay Income Tax.

The income tax will be paid by more
than 100000 people; by one person
saw. In every ninety of the total popu.
Iations Only 25.330 persons, or one in
ninety-six, pay personal taxation in
Manhattan for local purposes. The to.
tai number Of taxpayers on both real
end personal property in Manhattan
cannot be stated because there are
many Implications. 1t may be 1000
or very much less; 1t is certainly less
than one in fifty persons. The pro
rcrtion in Boston is about the same,
in Chicago not much higher.

Record Ie a Good One.

The Democratic majority In con
gress. has a record which speaks for
itself in the campaign now opening.
for it is no small task-"to have re
formed the tariff, to have lightened
the burden of taxation On the con
sumption Of the masses, to have re-
formed the currency and banking,
to have restored the nations regard
for the sanctity Of treaties in the Pan
anna canal tolls legislation, to have
cleared up the debatable ground
around the antitrust laws, to have
opened the way for the restoration OF
the American merchant marine.

Worthy Legislation.

A bill passed by congress which has
sentimental as well ~ practical value
is that wiping out the slums in Wash
ington. It was to this work that Mrs.
Wilson gave her untiring endeavor
and attention, and her dying wishes
for its accomplishment had much to dc
with its passage. The signing Of the
bill will be a sad pleasure for the be-
reaved husband yet it Is pleasure
which should outlast the sadness when
it is recalled that this law, doing SO
much for better living conditions Of
the poor in the capital, 10 the best
monument which could be erected
to the memory Of good woman, who
in her high station considered it her
highest privilege to protect the poor
and the helpless.

Congressional Outlook.

A preliminary canvass of the con-
gressional situation by the New York
Herald gives the Democrats 181 sure
seats the Republicans 149 and the
Progressives one, leaving 104 doubtful
constituencies IN which the control OF
the new congress will be decided. Re-
publican gains are, of course, expect
ed. some Democrats even counting on
q loss of so seats, but this would still
leave them a majority of 45, or what
the Republicans had in the early part
of eTaft's administration.

Imports Of Gold

There Is no doubt that we shall be
able to import gold in the fall II we
want 70. The marketing of our crops
must necessarily create huge balances
in our favor. Gold imports DO not,
however, always follow because the
balance of trade Is in our favor. If
our credits can be more proftably en-
ployed in Europe they will remain
there until such time as they can be
more proftably employed at home
Then they will be recalled and gold
imports will naturally follow.

SURE MEANS OF DEVELOPING
HIGH-GRADE TUBERS
Uniformity of Size and Shape Should
Receive More Attention.

The superiority of immature over
mature tubers for seed purposes is
not as yet recognized by the American
potato grower. The European grow
ers, on the other hand, have long real
lied that, other things being equal
larger crops can be produced from
immature seed than from mature seed
Uniformity of size and shape is a
quality which should receive more
thought, and strains of potatoes giving
the greatest yield Of fair sized, shapely
tubers should be cultivated 1t is par
ticularly important at present that
such strains be developed. because
there is an increasing demand for
fancy table stock to satisfy the re-
quirements of a large an discriminat-
ing class of consumers who are insist
ing on greater uniformity in size and
shape and are willing to pay more for
such potatoes.
The simplest and surest means of
developing high grade seed potatoes
is that of the tuber unit and hill-selec-
ton methods The tuber-unit method
conists in selecting from the seed bin
number of the most perfectly
shaped tubers of from six to eight
ounces in weight When planted these
are quartered, as dropped into four
equal parts. This is done by splitting
the bud-eye cluster in each direction
from seed to stem end. In other words
the tuber is cut lengthwise. All tn
bers showing discolorations of the
flesh or other evidence OF disease
should be rejected Plant the four
pieces of each tuber consecutively in
a row at distance of about ten to
twelve inches apart in the furow. By
allowing more space between each set
Of four pieces each tuber is isolated
from adjoining ones and the grower
can readily observe any variation in
vigor and uniformity between the va
rious units planted.-By VIM. Stuart.

Greedy Hogs Are Most Desirable.

The Oregon Agricultural Station
has found ou by actual feeding tests
that the hog which eats most greedily
is the most profitable. Thirty pigs
were divided into three lots, the heav-
lest eaters in one lot, and the others
graded according TO their capacity for
CONSUMING food. A hundred hogs like
the heaviest eaters, at the rate OF gain
made and present prices would make
a profit of $297.65, or almost exactly
So a head A hundred like the poorest
feeders would have made a profit of
of $ll565, or only little more than
a dollar head. They were evenly grad
ed as to size and sex If there is this
great difference between the heavy
eating hogs and the light eaters-and
most hog growers will agree that the
breeders might well devote themselves
to breeding appetite in hogs, instead
of color of 'ncy points. If the appe-
tite makes tie profits, breed appetite.

WEDDING OUT THE BOARDER
COWS.
Farmers Need Not Maintain Charit-
able Institution for Poor Animals.

If a farmer feeds a COW ST worth
of feed and she gives back 65 cents
worth of milk-no, this is not fiction,
and the man was not fool who fed
the COW He thought she was his
faithful friend, ard all the time she
was ruthlessly short-changing him.
She is not the only one. 1t just hap

you have a COW in your herd that
skins the milk before she gives it to
you.
Twenty-six Dickinson county farm
ers organized a cow-testing associa
ton last year, with the help of the
Kansas Agricultural College. They
hired man to do the testing. He
worked at the home of each man one
day every month The cost to the
farmers was about $l.50 for each COW
for the year. There were 379 cows
entered.
Before the plan had been in opera
ton very long some of the farmers
began to sell cows. They would have
been deliberately robbing themselves
if they had not sold after they found
out how poor certain of the animal.

of $l0l.2 each, for the year. While

Great Value of Leguminous Crops.

Investigations prove the high value
OF the common legume crops whether
used in rotation or as green manure
crops. Results obtained from their
use are far more striking in poor soils
than in rich soils Perhaps the safest
rule to apply where there is a choice
of two legumes is to use the one which
gives the largest total yield per acre.
or if these are about equal. TO use the
one whose seed is cheapest The pillow
ing under of green manure crops as
regular operation is seldom carried
on except in orchards. In this case
there can be but little doubt that the
operation is highly profitable. With
field crops the blowing under of .
green manure crop is seldom justihablo
except in the case of very poor lands
or at considerable intervals, because
ordinarily it is far more profitable to
utilize the crop for feed and then re
turn the manure TO the soil There are
10 important leguminous field crops
used in the United States, namely
red clover, alfalfa, COW peas, alsike
clover, crimson clover, white clover
soy beans, peanuts, Canada peas, hairy
vetch, common vetch. velvet beans,
Japan clover, sweet clover, burr clover

of rour hundredweight of superphos-

WHY SUMMER FALLOWING
AIDS CROPS.
Better Results Are Obtained After
Third Year by Alternating.

Whether the fallow system will be
an important part of the dry land
crop rotation after the country is set
tied and developed, when land is worth
500 or more per acre, we are not say
ing. Under present conditions and
land values it is better practice to
take one crop of 80 or 40 bushels, once
in two years, than two crops of Is or
20 bushels each.
Experience at the Moccasin expert
ment station indicates that it is good
farming to take about three successive
crops after breaking After that sum
mer fallow doubles the crop. Far bet
ter results are obtained after the third
year from breaking by alternating
crop and fallow. The results at Moe
casin coincide with the best farm ex-
perience in the Gallatin Valley and
elsewhere. Good farmers in these
place summer fallow religiously.
Summer following does not mean
simply allowing the land to lie idle
and grow weeds and volunteer crop.
1t means three definite objects: |. To
conserve and store up moisture. Z.
To clean up the land and get rid of
weeds 3. To promote the prepare
ton of available plant food for the
next crop
These objects are best accomplish
ed by double disking the land early in
the spring, then blowing in May or
June after the weed seeds have GERM
mated Flowing early helps to prevent
the run-off OF summer rains and pre-
vents loss of moisture Narrowing
should be done Immediately after
blowing and thereafter often enough
to kill small weeds and maintain a
soil mulch.
By following this method seed will
terminate at once when put in the
latter part of August, the land will be
clean and heavy crop may be CON
fidently expected.-By +. S. Cooley,
Superintendent of Montana Farmers
Institutes.

Mightier Than the Sword.

THE hen is mightier than the
sword" How true, when an old worn
out piece of ground is just the place
for a poultry plant. Many farms tina,
have ceased their productiveness
through years and years of tillage, are
now being converted into chicken
farms. A piece of ground not avail
able for cropping may be made to
yield an income from poultry raising
far greater than it ever did before.

Using Incubator on Farms

The better types of incubators are
rapidly finding a place upon general
farms and in most cases proving to be
advantageous in raising larger num-
bers of sound, healthy chickens which
will be strong and nicely grown be
fore hot weather comes and well ma
tured and laying before winter sets in.
In addition to this, the fact that many
OF the modern farm breeds of poultry
are more inclined to produce eggs
than to hatch them makes it more
advisable for many farmers to pur-
chase good, reliable incubators. 1t is
easier to keep hen laying than 1t is
to start her laying in cold weather.
For this, if no other reason, the mod
ern incubator is valuable substitute.
Contrary TO too common notion IT
can be easily operated by anyone who
is more or less careful and methodical.
