ISSUE MUST Be MET
Democrats Cannot Evade Tariff
Question.
Voters VIII Demand an Explanation
Of Failure Of the Underwood Bill
to Meet the Needs of
the Nation.

The Democrats will be fortunate II
they can shift the issue in the next ma
tional campaign and sidestep the tar
If. which. in my opinion. they cannot
do. notwithstanding just at this time
the European war overshadows all do
nestle questions, said DR.. H. L. Dun
lap. merchant of Chicago and tariff
expert, in an interview at Washington
The Democrats have claimed that
the Republicans have used much in
genious mathematical calculation to
prove the contention that the Under
wood Wilson tariff bill has wrought in-
jury to the country. The Democrats
themselves have used the ingenuity of
Convenient calculation to prove that
the new tariff is blessing.
For instance. the quarterly state
ment of importations and duties col
lected. issued by the department of
comm erce. extends the first quarter Of
the fiscal year, 1914, from July l to
October 3. 1918. during which period
the Republican tariff law was in full
force and effect. For this quarter the
duties collected on imports amounted
to $780, 57, which was boldly cred
tied TO the Democratic law by the sec
rotary of the treasury and others. Had
the Underwood law been in force for
this period. with its average ad valo-
rem duty for the peace period of 10
per cent on all imports. The duties col
lected for this quarter would have
been s57,S95 ,953, a difference in favor
of the Republican law of $50, ,504.
So it is entirely fair to say that for
this quarter the Democratic law was
benefited by its predecessor.
In the same manner the Democrats
so analysed the second. third and last
quarters to make it appear that the
Underwood bill was bringing benefits
together with sufficient revenue. The
late Mr.. Payne was right when he said
that a proper analysis of the Under
wood bill would show that the bill in
its first year would have left deficit
in the treasury. except that it was car
ried out on the crutches furnished by
the Payne law, which it superseded q"

In putting UP winter lunches for the
herd, follow good recipes.
Silage is usually cut in one-half-
inch lengths, according to a recipe
given by G. c. Humphrey of the Col.
lege of Agriculture If cut longer than
this COWS will refuse to eat the
coarser portions OF the stalks, caus-
ing waste.
When corn becomes dry from being
frosted, or allowed to get ripe. it gen.
orally will make good silage if water
is added at the time of filling the silo.
No definite rule can be given as to
the right amount of water to add. Each
must be guided by his own judgment.
The aim is to add enough to make the
moisture content equal to that of
green corn. Unless the water is added
while the cut fodder is being put into
the siio, it may fail to reach all parts,
thus causing moldy spots. Thorough
ly mixed silage is also desirable to in
Vernon County censor. [volume] (Viroqua, Wis.) 1865-1955, 1915-10-13

sure the best results in feeding.
During the process of filing, the cut
material should be kept slightly higher
at the edges than in the center. and
well tramped close to the sides, where
the friction of the wall tends to pre-
vent settling. II is not so necessary
to tramp in the center of the silo, for
the weight of man is little compared
to the weight of the silage.
The usual practice, when the silo is
filed. is to wet down the surface inn
mediately after filling. and tramp
thoroughly several times during the
first week By this method a crust
viii be formed over the top. This
crust is not to be broken until feeding
commences, when the damaged silage
at the top is removed and discarded,
The silo needs to be well ventilated
until the heating and fermentation
have subsidized or much or all of the
entire amount spoiled.

Have Seen Their Error.

Il do not hesitate to say that the
Republicans will be strenuously aided,
not alone in numbers, but in policies
and program, by the return of the a.
100000 voters who left the party in
1912, and that there will be no doubt
about the welcome of the return by
those who remained" says Senator
Borah. Il hope these voters will re-
turn not alone to cast their vote, but
to sit in our councils to help shape the
policies and direct the work of the
party" The senator should know that
the majority of the 100000 have al.
ready returned.

Problem of the Day.

The greatest material problem for
both town and country in the great
middle West is to bring about the
adoption of systems of farming under
which old land shall become richer
than new land. And this is possible,
feasible and profitable; but not by the
use of small amounts of such mixed
manufactured fertilizers as the farm
ers Of the older states have been in
duced to purchase at high prices and
to apply to their farms in systems OF
soil stimulation and ultimate land
ruin.-A w. Hopkins.

The words spoken by Mr.. Taft

are in accord with public opinion. The
railroads were guilty OF offenses

people finally rose in a revolt which,

TWIxT BULL AND BEAR
How Two Californians Released
Themselves From a Critical Sit
uatiOn.

T. $. Collins, postmaster at
Knights Ferry, Cal, and Samuel
Baugh, blacksmith, have just escaped
from an encounter with bull and a
bear which they will not soon forget,
the New York Sun states.
Collins bought a bull and had him
I'm corral just above knights Ferry.
He and Baugh went out to inspect
the purchase when the angry animal
started after them and gave chase.
Collins reached a nearby tree in
safety, but Baugh was not SO lucky,
and crawled instead into nearby
cave, just in time to escape the
charge Of the bull.
He emerged hastily, however, and
again the bull charged him, and he
sought refuge in the hole a second
time Finally Collins warned the
blacksmith to stay in the cave, say
ing that the bull would tree them both
and keep them In the field all night.
For answer, augh again jumped in
and out of the cave and a moment
later, as teh bull charged past, grab
bed the animals tail and threw him.
AS both men climbed the fence,
Baugh explained why he didn't re
main in the cave. There was a bear
inside which disputed his ownership.
The two men returned later and sue
ceeded In dispatching the bear and
two cubs.

The Application of Hydrate.

During the present Spring lining
period, the question usually arises,
is Hydrated Lime injurious to the
seed II applied directly with It. In
the process OF commercial hydration,
the lime becomes thoroughly Stacked
losing practically all its caustic con-
dition, but even after being thorough
~ hydrated, it consists OF a strong
alkali OF strength sufficient to do the
work OF coil sWeetening and It's 9TH
er functions of soil Improvement The
best method of lime application,
in order to avoid all possibilities OF
injury to seed, Is to put the lime III
small heaps across the field, and af-
ter allowing 1T to stand until thor
oughly carbonated, then spread it up
On the field. So much for the hand
method or spreading lime. Another
plan, where hydrated or quick lime
can be used directly liz to apply ii
with a lime spreader some time, GER
tainly several days before seeding,
and In this case, 1t Is very much bet
ter to harrow or disk into the sur
face soil and allow to stand a week
at least before seeding. There is, OF
course, far more moisture and far
more carbon dioxide Ia the soil at
mosphere than in the atmosphere
above the soil and the carbonation OF
the lime takes place very much more
rapidly and very much better dis
tribution is obtained by this method
OF lime application than any other

Early Spring Lawn Treatment.

Ii is now time to give attention to
the lawn If good healthy, thick and
even growth Is desired during the
coming summer. liz you spread
manure on the lawn last fall and 1t
has been allowed to stay on the
ground all winter, rake off the coarse
material as soon as the grass begins
to grow. The lawn should then be
rolled thoroughly with heavy roller,
and about week thereafter, apply
broadcast from 500 to 1000 pounds Of
hydrated or other well Stacked lime
per acre. The lime will soon get in
its work BY neutralizing the acids and
stimulating to active work the differ
ent plant foods in the soil The same
practice can be applied to lawns
treated with stable manure Id the
early Spring or Winter, but care
should BE- exercised not to apply the
lime sooner than a week or ten DAYS
after raking off the manure else you
will lose some Oh the valuable am
monia which you have stored I'D by

that sour soils will not grow good
