Roosevelt Scores

Chicago, March PA scathing ar
raignment Of President Wilson's Mex
lean policy as we'll as his entire arbi-
tration program with other nations
by Colonel Theodore Roosevelt IN the
current issue of the Outlook was fol-
lowed yesterday BY the announcement
that the National Progressive head
quarters will be moved to Chicago
shortly and that Colonel Roosevelt
will stump Illinois before the cam,
paign closes.
In his article on Chile and the
Monroe Doctrine Colonel Roosevelt
opens up on President Wilson in
R~ooseveltesque style. He declares
that the Wilson policy with respect to
Mexico either is one of ahumiliating
bluff and i~nsincerftyp or else his pol
icy inevitably will lead the United
States into war with Mexico.
1t is interpreted as the most direct
and intended attack on the democrat

has yet INDUCED in.
Political soothsayers interpret 1t as
a foreword Of Colonel Roosevelt's de-
termination to electrify the country
with a sensational attack o the
Isgrape juice statesmen.
Colonel Roosevelt speaks Of .im-
perfect information. on which the
people are following 4unwise people
into the ultra-peace movements
This language Is construed as a direct
application to Secretary of State
Bryan.
AT this moment, ~farseeing and

men says Roosevelt have been put
in a very uncomfortable position by
the request to have all American ma
tions sign an agreement for obliga-
tory arbitration about all differences.

making such a request-1and, indeed,
those who make the request can prove
their honesty only by admitting their

DIPPING THE FLOCK.
Sheep Cannot Thrive When infested
With Parasites

No fockmaster should attempt to.
raise sheep without planning to dip
them at l0ast annually and In most
cases twice d year. When sheep are
brought from other 1ocks, and espe-
ciaIly when transported there BY rail-
roads, they should be thoroughly dip
ped before allowed to mingle with the
rest OF the flock.
Experience has taught sheepmen that
sheep thrive much better when their
skins are clean, Al good dip increases
the quantity and improves the quality
Of the wool. 1t is impossible for lambs
infested with ticks or other parasites
TO thrive properly. owing to the con-
slant Irritation set up. In trying to
get relief lambs often nibble at the
fleece and swallow small portions OF
wool with fatal results. a good and
regular system OF dipping the entire
flock Is money well expended. Hence
most OF the leading fockmasters DIP
twice in the year-4once In the spring
and again In the fall.
The object OF dipping is to destroy
the parasites In the fleece, such ais scab
mites and sheep ticks and Iice. and to
prevent subsequent attacks from the
same. In England, where sheep rails
ing has attained Its highest state OF
perfection. dipping ii required by law
at least twice q year.
While dipping may not be done at
any season, It should, Il possible, be
avoided in cold weather for obvious
reasons. II the flock IS badly infested

Il Wins in Senate
And Yet It Loses

Washington, March %. Woman
suffrage advocates lost their fight in
the United States senate for a reso-
luton proposing an amendment to the
federal constitution giving women the
ballot.
The vote was 35 for the measure
to 81 against it, a two-thirds afirma-
tive vote being required for passage.
When itlwas all over, suffragist leaa-
ers j~ubilsntly pointed to the minority
Of n as conclusive proof that their
cause had scored a triumph in de-
feat and was immeasurably stronger
than its opponents had eve been will
ing to5concede.
This sction, following weeks of de-
bate on the floor of the senate, during
which msiny leaders in the suffrage
cause pleaded for q postponement of
the final vote, marked the climax of
a spirited campaign launched here the
day before the inauguration Of Presi-
dent Wilson.
Immediately after the vote, Sena-
tor Shafroth of Colorado sought to
introduce a new resolution for a con
stitutional amendment requiring each
state to vote on granting suffrage to
women upon petition from five per
cent of its voters. The senate went
into executive session before the SEN
ator could get the floor, however, and
the resolution will be offered later.
The resolution defeated Wasthe first
introduced in the present congress. IT
was presented by Senator Chamber
lain OF Oregon.
Although otherwise the vote yir-
tually was nonpartisan, the southern
senators, all democrats, lined up al
most solidIy against the amendment.
They commended itsWould complicate
the negro question In the states. OF
the southern senators, Sheppard Of
Texas and Lea Of Tennessee voted for
the resolution.
Senator Vardaman led a movement
among the friends of woman suffrage
in the south to repeal the fifteenth
amendment to the constitution, by
which the states are prohibited from
denying the right to negroes to vote.
with the negro question removed, he
said, he favored the granting Of suf-
frae to women. His proposal was de
feated BY As to IS and proposition

Sweet Clover Is
Urged For Forage
BY n. M. Harden.

Tits very evident that there are two
sides to the sweet clover question.
Whichever the subject is opened there
is ussally radical differences of opin-
ion among farmers as to the value of
this liant as a cultivate farm crop.
Thd old, long-standing idea that
sweet clover is simply a pernicious
weedgives place slowly to the accept
ancedf the fact that it possesses great
virtuB as a soil improver and a for
age clop.
Th9 sweet clover may easily be-
eomeh pest in irrigated sections adj
mitss}f no doubt. It's establishments
alongl the bitches and consequent
carriRe to cultivated fields where not
wantsf and it's annual seeding of the
landsfn this manner is certainly to
be aaided. The irrigator is justified
in coasidering sweet clover a weed
pure did simple, for under his condi-
lions II is quite certain to become a
eplanIout of place. On lands above
the ditch, however, sweet clover is
quite another matter. Nowhere does
it becdme a pestiferous weed in cult
vatedfelds. In sections where it has
for fifty years or more been a so-called
roadside weed, it has not invaded the
cultivated fields in any p%erceptible de
gree.
THE Virtues of Sweet Clover.
Sweet clover is a biennial legumin-
Gus plant. That is, it belongs to the
Glover family" and possesses a high
nitrogehous content and has the abil-
ity tosecure nitrogen direct from the
air. Being a biennial it makes a large
root gfbwth the season of sowing and
colnparatively little top growth. The
root lives over the first winter and the
nextaseason the plant grows thriftily,
blooms, produces seed and dies. This
is thehfe history of biennial plants;
comraon red clover being another *
ample
Theeomposition of the sweet clover
plant Is quite similar to that Of other
legulnes such as red clover and al.
falfa as the following table will show,
This table gives the digestible nutri,
enlts, that is the amount Of different
elements that animals + able to di-
gest and assimilate, and also the fer

live stock will not consume sweet
clover either as pasture or hay is
entirely without foundation. The fact
that it possesses a taste and odo1
peculiar to itself and that animals
usually must acquire a taste for it is
the whole basis for this unwarranted
claim. That range steers will leave
good sound corn for dry prairie grass
or that range horses will at first reject
plump oats does not prove that corn
and oats are not good feeds. AS the
Ohio station says in Bulletin No. 244:
Very few men like bananas or olives
at first taste, yet nearly everyone be
comes fond of them later. Tomatoes
la few years ago were thought to be
poisonous and We're used only as win
dow ornaments. Very few COWS viii
eat ensilage when it is first placed be
fore them. Sheep will walk through
ape up to their eyes and trim black
berry briars in the fence orner un
til forced to eat the rape, yet ensilage
and rape are both excellent stock
feed. Nearly all animals get the sweet
clover habit and do we'll on it"
Practically all the talk that stocl
will not eat sweet clover is the result
of a deep-seated prejudice, and made
by men who have never really tried
to feed sweet clover at all. The fac
remains that stock does eat it boil
as pasture and cured hay as hundreds
of men who are feeding it on theil
farms are willing to testify.
No one claims sweet clover to BIZ
as valuable as alfalfa as a forage
crop, but as a leguminous rotation
crop it has an advantage over alfalfs
in being a biennial and capable of al
good results as a soil restorer. Al
falfa is not economically adapted as
short rotation crop and in the north
west at least sweet clover seems tt
fill the bill in this respect. 1t is higl
time that the2 northwestern farme'
gives some heed to the maintenance
of soil fertility and it seems very like
iy that sweet clover will play an i'm
portant part in adding to u soils nit
rogen and humus which are quite
generally lacking on very much o
our older lands. It will thrive OF
soils very deficient IN humus materia
while alfalfa will not. It will built
up such soils and at the same tilns
furnish a valuable forage. As a fore
runner Of alfalfa it is unequaled ant
may well be used for this purpose Of
many farms where alfalfa has beef
difRcult to establish, It furnishes

Sunday School For
World Betterment

TtGf. MT. CuTlStldHSoH, PASTOR OIL the
First Congregational church, says
there is no institution or organiza-
ton in the world that can compare
with the Sunday School for world
betterment. There are more than
quarter Of a million Sunday schools
today, enrolling more than twenty-five
millions of people. Enough to form
a procession $4,000 miles in length.
If each one should bring a penny it
would amount to 24O,000.00. That
so many are studying the Bible means
more than we can tell for a better
world.
Justice Brewer says: IF it were
possible to send the Bible throughout
the land and have its teaching stud
led by the people, the results would
be gerater than all the victories of all
the wars since the beginning of time
DR.. Francis Peabody, professor of
morals at Harvard, says that the

family life in our country depends

leeptance or rejection of this book
