One Of the greatest mistakes dairy

have them pick up and milk as

tance. 1t should be large and its skin
thin. The cows digestive organs
should be strong, and energetic to
make an abundance of good blood,
which In turn, stimulates the action
of the nervous system and furnishes
the milk with the means of large
production.
1t is impracticable to establish any
system of feeding, whereby each COW
Will receive the same amount of feed.
The capacity of each COW must govern

A good mixer invariably is quick

More regularity can be practiced

1t may be set down as an irdispu-

an unhealthy condition cannot secrete
pure milk.

POULTRY PAY WELL
when ATTENDED TO
When Left to Run About Farm
Fowls Are Nuisance and Not
Worth Keeping At All.

How many farmers that have good
sized farms have ever given thought
TO devoting some Of their time to a
systematic and orderly place where a
good flock of chickens might be kept
On many farms the idea Is that poul
try should be left ito the women" as
there is not enough profit in 1t for the
men to worry about The only reason
that any poultry is kept on such farms
Is to supply eggs and an occasional
fowl for the table. 1t is natural that
II they are left to run all over the
place they will certainly be a nuisance
and actually not worth keeping at all.
However this would be true Of any Of
the other stock on the farm, II It were
not looked after in the right manner
You don't see anyone who has a
tne flock OF well-bred chickens who Ia
not proud Of them and ready to argue
that they are a source Of profit Why
shouldn't they be? II a farmer were
to give his flock the same kind of care
that ne gives to his fine herd OF cattle
or any OF the other stock that is on his
farm, 1t is only reasonable to believe
that the results would be satisfactory.
II this were done, instead OF thinking
OF the flock as nuisance Tor not
thinking Of II at ALL, he would find
that as much profit can be made from
the poultry as from any other part of
the farm.

MULES PROVE BEST
FOR HEAVY TEAMING
Animals viii Do More Hard Work
Than Big Draft Horses and
Eat Much Less.

The mule is not such a fool as he
looks. II
The South has been saved since the
war by the mule and his darky
driver.
For farm work the medium sized
mule Is best, For heavy teaming, an.
imals standing from fourteen and one
half to fifteen hands will do more
work than team of heavy draft
horses, and eat less.
1t takes big boned mares to breed
large mules.
No work animal will recuperate
more quickly from the effects of abuse
or hard work than a mule.
1t costs about one-third as much to
keep mule shod as a horse.
Most mules have more horse
sense than horse.
The farmer who uses mules instead
of horses will save at least one-half
the amount Of feed that horses re-
quire.
A sound, clean-limbed, well set up
mule team will bring from $500 to
s4OO at three years.
Northern farmers can make money
BY raising mules for the southern mar
ket. The greatest difficulty is to get
good jacks In the north.
A team Of mules worked steadily
for sixteen years on an Illinois farm
and was then sold to go into coal
mine.
A mule seldom runs away through
fright but generally out Of pure mis-
chievousness.
Fool masters are for the most part
responsible for vicious mules. They
(the mules) are usually broken" with
a club. and the master ought to be.

FEW POULTRY HINTS
FOR The HIRED MAN
Some Practical Suggestions,
Which, II Carefully Followed,
viii Prove Advantageous.

l want to make some suggestions
for the hired man to follow. They
have helped me and may help others
who have to do with poultry.
Be on time.
Follow the masters orders
Feed the stock at regularly ap-
pointed hours.
Keep the premises clean, and do not
allow the manure to collect In the
houses.
Be watchful, noting when fowls are
on their feed, and when there are
signs of droopiness.
Make repairs the moment you see
they are needed. and do not wait until
the boss tells you about the matter.
BE as careful In the care Of the
stock as though II were your own and
that your living depended upon your
results.
BE regular in all your duties, open.
ing the houses In the morning and
closing them at night at regularly ap-
pointed hours.
TO quietly among the poultry, never
allowing them to become scared,
teaching them that you are their
friend. and they will soon show entire
confidence In you.
THESE rules carefully FOLLOWED will
keep the lob for YOU.

MAN OF THE HOUR IN TURKEY

Enyer Pasha, minister of war,
leader Of the Young Turk party and
son-in-law of the sultan, stands forth
just now as the most prominent fig
ure in the Ottoman empire. He is
one of the four actual directors of the
destinies OF Turkey, and the most
forceful of the three He is said to
be consumed by ambition and to be-
lieve himself to be a man of destiny.
He affects the genius of Napoleon, and
dreams in secret OF converting the
actual Ottoman directory into a con-
sulate. In the role of first consul he
would then change the consulate into
an empire, following the example of
Bonaparte.
Enver, who was born in Roumelia
only thirty-five years ago, is the hero
of the Tripolitan war. Also he was
the assassin Of Nazim Pasha, the gen.
eralissimo of the Turkish army. Naz.
i'm belonged to the Old Turk party.
Honest, patriotic and brave, he repre-
sented the very best in the Turk. His

WHEN KEY PITTMAN WAS IN NOME

In the early and rough days of
Nome, Alaska, Key Pittman, who now
is the junior senator from Nevada,
served a term as prosecuting attor-
ney. Naturally he acquired a large
acquaintance among the lawless ele-
ment and its members, in turn, gained
a high respect for the legal abilities
OF the man who sent SO many OF them
to Jail. The quite natural result was
that after his term as prosecuting at
torney closed he found himself in COM
mand of a large criminal practice.
Among his clients were a number of
the leaders of the rough and morally
irresponsible crowd who turned to
him to extrieate them from the trou-
bles in which they frequently found
themselves. Too often, however, they
failed to pay the lawyer for his serv-
ices, and finally Mr. Pittman grew
tired of working for them for nothing.
In those days in Nome coal was
sold largely by the sack and was very

Capt J. Foster Stackhouse, F. R. G.

now organizing an expedition that
stirs the blood of every real adven-
turer. For six years he and his com.
panions will forget civilization and its
luxuries and sail away into virtually
unknown parts of the world. Their
reward will be trip to all the seven
seas, visits to islands and territories
still untrod by the feet of white men,
discovery and adventure in every lati-
tude from the equatorial Pacific to the
Sea Of Okhotsk and then back again
to the Antarctic-and glory. They

as they were never observed before,
and they will be participants in the
principal object of the voyage, the
discovery and mapping Of $500 un-

Pacific, reported from time TO time by
shippers and never officially charted.

1t is Bertha Krupp" who fights

who fights for the French. The Ger

Bertha Krupp is the principal heiress
of the great Krupp gun works at Es-

the French guns are made.

OTTO WHITAKER FOR
REPRESENTATIVE

More and more every year are the
voters of Audubon County determ;n-
ed to cast aside parti:anship, and
support the man of their choice, ir-
respective of party affiliations in
county politics.
There is not one on ither of the
party tickets better known to our
people than Mr.. Otto Witthauer.
He was born in Woodward Penn-
sylWania Oct. II, 1857 of German de-
scent and when eight years of age
came with hils parents to- GufhIie
County Iowa. When nineteen years
of age he had acquired good edu-
cation and for the next four years
taught i'm the district schools.
I'm 1880 he entered the employ of
late Capt. Stuart at Guthrie Gem
ter and for some time was manager
of his grain and lumber business
at Monteith and later was transfer1'-
ed to Extra i'm the same busiues:s.
Four years later he was elected
County Recorder but defeated by
small majority for his second term.
He again embarked in business i'm
Extra which he followed for many
years. For the last four years he
has been Audubon county's most eff
ficient and popular Auditor and the
records in his office are master
piece of his hantdiworlk
Mr.. Witthauer is still resdent
of Extra and candidate for repre-
sentative and it would be fair to
the south part of Audubon County
to consider and elect him to the
office, to which he aspires.
His ripe experience, gained as a
business man, a farmer, and later a
county autitor, has WE'LL fitted him
to legislate intelMgently on amy ques
ton that may come before him.
As your representative you will
be pleased with his work.

County affairs are still puzzle.
However, there is some indication
that the republicans wild 'tcome
back" this time, and that the court
house will lose its character as the
citadel of democracy after january
1. AS everybody comedies, the sweep
ing democratic victory of two years
ago i'm Audubon County was due
merely to the fatal split in the
republican ranks. 1t is reasonably
certain that this split will not be
repeated next Tuesday. The proper
tion of straight tickets will be
much higher this year than two
years ago, at least in Audubon counr
ty. In fact it would not be surprls-
ing if election judges found the
" straight ticket" to be the pre-
vailng kind this time, save, per-
haps, in fthe case of one or two cam
didates.
LIS the straight ticket, then, the
proper thing to vote this year?
This iS matter for each man to
decide for himself, of course. Yet
the reasons why it wild be quite gen
erallQy done are clear enough The
democrats are expecting to do it.
This must be admitted, without
question; and i'm self defense, re-
puIblicans are deeming it necessary
to do NO scratching. Aside from
this, the democrats are making, or
have made the present campaign a
test of their actual strength. They
will so interpret the result, regard-
less of how it may be brought about
And repal blicans, knowing that the
democrats won the last election
not because of their own strength
but because OF republican divi:ton
and weakness. do not propose to
play into their hands at a time
when they are making formal mea
sure of their fighting strength.
1t is obvious, then, that republi-
cans really have two pretty sound
reasons for not scratching their tick
cts; and probably most of them
have seen and are considering both.
What the result will be is unceir-
tain. The indications seem to favor
the republicans i'm both county and
state A democratic victory NOW
would be quite different thing
from a democratic victory two
years ago If they win, they will
have a perfect right to rejoice ov-
T, en- the great accession of strength
which the victory would plainly in
dicate. But it Isl still true that
the chances are quite strongly a
gainst them.
1t III; to be hoped that the stay
at-homes will be few in number this
year. The election is nmportamt, and
every voter hsould be out without
fail.
