WHAT ONE SOCIALIST DID

KANSAS CITY.--After passing the
Kansas house of representatives by a |
vote of eighty-six yeas to six NAYS.
Senator Porters pet measure. an act
to compel all alien voters in Crawford !
county to register at the county seat,
was reconsidered in the house on mo-
ton by Representative Coffin, of Nor
ris county, at the solicitation of the
lone Socialist representative, Brewer.
Brewer was the only real opponent
OF the bill. His colleague from Craw-
ford county, Mr.. Gibson, republican,
and the republican member from the
adjoining county, Cherokee, both very
| much interested in its passage for po-
litical purposes. engaged Brewer in
animated conversation at the back of
the hall while the bill was read and
damned into bulk roll call unknown to
Brewer.
1t is rumored about the state house
that this was framed up by Senator
Porter in order to keep Brewer from
exposing the real object behind the
| bill.
1t should be remembered that Sen
ator Porter is the gentleman CD from
Crawford county, Kansas, who stole
his seat two years ago from the regu-
larly elected Senator Fred w. Stan
ton, who is Socialist Porter knew
from that time that never again could
he hope to come to the senate unless
he succeeded in DISTINGUISHING hun
dreds Of miner votes in Crawford
county. Thus one can readily under
stand his eagerness in securing the
passage of this unjust and unfair bill
Representative Brewer led in the
fight for reconsideration, being the
only member who spoke in it's favor
, Representatives Gibson, Waggoner
Harley, Lamb and Burton spoke
against reconsideration. After the de
bate the question was put and the mo
ton to reconsider was carried. roll
, call followed, the result being fifty for
. the measure and thirty-seven against
, This was thirteen short of a constitu
; tional majority, and thus the bill was
defeated
. This was perhaps the most spectac
ular fight seen in the Kansas house
:, for years. Old members say that new
er before have such tremendous odds
been overcome. One lone Socialis

TROUBLE WITH CANTAl0UPES
Leaf.Blisht Is Most Common Annoy.
snee-May Be Checked by Spray
ing With Bordeaux.

When blight attacks the cantaloupe,
then the hopes OF the grower wilt as
we'll as the leaves OF his plants-it
is usually a hard case to cure.
Leafblight is the most common OF
cantalonpe troubles. The leaves be-
come covered with light to dark brown.
generally circular spots which in
crease in size and finally coalesce. re-
sulting in complete whiting and curling
OF the leaves
The spots commonly show fine and
rather indistinct concentric markings,
such as are found in the common al
ternate blight OF the potato. The leaf
stalks and vines are also affected. The
blight is caused by a fungus. which
may at least be checked by spraying
with bordeaux.
The first application should be made
when the vines are from twelve to
eighteen inches long. and then every
two weeks during the season.
The bordeaux mixture should be OF
the usual strength-six pounds OF
bluestone and six pounds of lime TO
fifty gallons OF water.
The greatest care must be taken TO
get down on the under side Of the
leaves with the spray.

AT FOALING TIME
Hay and Bran for Rich Bone
Forming Material.

II is undoubtedly the best practice
to work the mare regularly until with
in two weeks of foaling time After
that make the work lighter but keep
up the exercise. The mare at this time
requires more feed than otherwise.
and 1t should be rich in bone-forming
matter There is nothing better than
alfalfa or clover hay and bran. At
this time corn should form at least
one-thrd OF the ration, never more,
and oats onethird.
At foaling time cleanliness and
quietness are two most important re-
quisites. II previous to pasture time,
a comfortable, roomy box stall should
be provided This. however. should be
thoroughly disinfected. as should be
the bedding which is placed in it,
Ii is very important that the colt
should be nursed after birth. For ten
days after foaling II is very advisable
not to work the mare, but simply to
exercise her. The colt should not fol-
low the mare while she is at work, as
this is too hard for the colt and does
not do the mare any good.

GERRYMANDER Is OLD WORD
Gilbert Stuart Combined the Words
Gerry" and "Salamander" IN
Cartoon Of 1911.

Gilbert Stuart, who is best remem-
bered for his portrait of Washing
ton. was also a cartoonist, and it was
he who designed the famous Gerry
mander cartoon, remarks James Mel
vim Lee in the Cartoons Magazine
In 1911 the struggle between the
Democrats and the Federals for the
control OF Massachusetts was extreme
ly bitter. The Democrats had elect
ed Elbridge Gerry governor, and had
carried both houses of the legislature.
To obtain this supremacy they re-
mapped the senatorial districts, and
divided the power of their political
adyersaries by paying no attention TO
county boundaries. In Essex county
the relation of the district to the
town was most absurd, and a map of
the county thus laid out hung in the
Office of the Massachusetts Sentinel.
One day as Stuart gazed at the map.
he remarked that the towns as they
had been assembled looked like some
monstrous animal. A few touches OF
his pencil added the wings and
claws. and he christened the crea-
ture salamander At the sug
gestion of Editor Russell the name
was changed to Gerrymander. The
cartoon thereafter frequently appeared
in a 'broadside," while the term be-
came one OF reproach to the legisla-
ture that had distinguished itself by
this act of political turpitude.

PICKED JPN POULTRY YARD.

The fowls will need plenty of green
STUFF from now until grass comes
celery tops. cabbages. cut clover or
ground alfalfa.
They must have some meat substi.
tute for the worms and bugs which
they will get on range later-beef
scraps. green cut bone or meat meal
Keep plenty OF pure water before
the fowls every day all the time. Scald
the drinking vessels two or three
times a week
II is downright cruelty to chickens
TO confine them with turkeys. as many
OF them will be killed by the larger
birds
Piercing winds of March and April
are very hard on the fowls. and every
crack in the poultry house should be
made tight. leaving. OF course. perfect
ventilation near the top.
Never allow the laying hens. or in
fact any poultry. to stand around on
damp. cold floors. Straw. chan or
leaves are cheap.
Some people say they have had good
success BY feeding corn exclusively,
but IL is a fact that hens cannot thrive
on this feed many months at time.
Always remember that skim milk rs
hard to beat in the feeding ration.

Domesticated EQrets.

Laws have been passed in various
communities for the purpose of dis
couraging the use of egrets for mil
linery purposes on the grounds of
cruel methods resorted to in secur-
ing the plumes. but the word now
comes from India that the birds from
which they are secured are now ex-
tensively domesticated, and that the
decorations are now secured in a per-
fectly humane way. The birds are
bred In captivity. and are plucked of
their "ospreys," or aigrettes. without
suffering any injury. Just as in the
case of ostriches. The conditions of
captivity make them more productive
OF aigrettes than are wild birds. as
the young are taken away from their
parents, TO be reared by hand, when
about a week old, and the parents
then breed again. Thus the nuptial
plumage. which is all that is CONNER
cially valuable, is assured four times
a year. The birds are literally fed
with fish. and are so tame that they
allow themselves TO be seized without
showing fear. The killing OF egrets
for their plumage was prohibited
there about thirty years ago.

Insure Pigs In Sweden.

Though IL is commonly known that
there is scarcely anything in the
world that cannot be insured the lay
man would probably hesitate before
he fastened to Lloyd's to insure his
pigs. In Sweden. however. no difficult
ties stand in his way. In fact. there
are several competing companies all
anxious TO insure the lives OF pigs
belonging TO the small farmer But
as yet the industry has not developed
as much as IL might, since out OF the
seven hundred Swedish institutions
which insure live stock there are only
forty which insure pigs. These so
cieties are most numerous in the
thickly populated districts. where they
insure pigs only. The pigs insured
must be at first in good condition. and
the agencies refuse to pay If the ami
mails die in consequence of i'll treat
ment or neglect.
