another Democratic war horse, and
a political leader in northern Wv.
oming, too, has taken a shot at the
Governor. In a statement over
his signature Pete Kinney OF
Newcastle, long ruling as the
Democratic bell-wether of that
part of the state, roundly den
ounces Governor Kendrick for his
attempt to make it appear as "an
authorized or official declaration
of his party" the Governors re-

"Gov. Hendricks plain state

doubt as to where be stands, and
he has a right to his own opinion.
But he nor no other man can COM
nit the Democratic party of Wy
oming to such a policy, however
widely and industriously his
statements are circulated"
The above is but another evil
dence of the fact that the Cover

the Governor was heart and soul
with them. Clever manipulation
and successful side-stepping have
enabled him to work both sides of
the street on more than the liquor
question heretofore; but the "Old
Guard" now evidently proposes to
make him come out in the open.
Since Editor White forced the
Governor and his machine to give
that landofice job to Reid after it
had been promised to Drury, a
number of the old guard have tax
en- occasion to oppose the Cover
nor in his attempts to run the
Democratic party in Wyoming.
Pete Kinney is the latest-but
it is safe to say there are others.

It was In New York state that the
lime floor was tried out, and is still
in use IN just such poultry houses as

POTATO DIGGER IS
A USEFUL MACHINE
Modern Device Does Cleaner
Work Than Is Usually Done
by Hand-cost Is Reduced.

Without a digger the work OF har.
sesting the crop Of potatoes is a long
and tedious task, and every man who
grows this crop should plan to have
enough acres devoted to the crop to
make 1t profitable for him to own a
machine. or at least an interest in one.
The modern potato digger does
cleaner work than is usually done by
hand and fewer OF the tubers are in.
jured and the expense OF harvesting
the crop can be reduced about three
cents per bushel.
The use Of the digger is equal to
plowed the ground once when a crop
of wheat or rye succeeds the potato
crop In rotation.
The best machines are the ones that
lift the soil and the tubers from the
row and sift the soil from the tubers
and allow them to fall on the loose
soil in a row.
There are numerous makes Of dig.
gers in the field, but the only way to
determine which one is best adapted
to the soil Of your farm is to have a
field test
Any machine agent should be will
ing to have his machine tested II he
has confidence in it himself.
Clean work should be demanded of
any digger, for after growing a good
crop OF potatoes It should not be lost
by using poor machinery in harvest.
ing.
II the soil is heavy do not expect
a machine to do good piece Of work
without strong horses that will handle
1t to advantage. The potato digger is
indispensable to the man who grows
q large acreage Of the crop. In this
way he can make the potato digger
an economic utility on his farm.

material. The walls and ceiling should
be comparatively smooth, stall and
hangers tight and sanitary and the

to furnish an abundant supply Of air
for the cows.
The most important thing ls clean
liness. A clean barn. with clean cows.

To keep milk pure the producer
must understand the meaning Of
cleanliness. He must know how to
put this understanding into practice.
Mr. or Mrs. Consumer can help him
by letting him know that they un-
derstand what cleanliness means and
that they are willing to pay the extra
cost Of producing clean product. II
the consumer and producer could get
together and talk these things over
the consumer would come to realize
the real problems Of the producer
and the producer would be more rea-
sonable and kindly disposed towards
the consumer. The producer would
keep his milk pure, and the consumer
would better appreciate the value of
clean product.

CARELESSNESS OF
GROWER IS COSTLY
Reputation for Perfect Product
and Honesty in Measuring Is
Great Asset for Farmer.

II is time that our fruit growers
and farmers learned to standardize
their products in the same manner as
the manufacturer of staple food arti-
cles. A reputation for perfect prod
uct. together with honesty in meas
ure and packing is the greatest asset
that the fruit grower has.
The low prices obtained for small
fruits are in many instances due to
the carelessness OF the grower. The
prevalent idea among fruit growers
is that when the prices are low, 1t
does not pay to take the care and
pains that should be taken, as the re-
turns do not warrant II. This 10
wrong reasoning. for one might argue
with equal reason that when the fruit
is high. the customer will take a poor
pack and a poor grade. as the demand
is greater than the supply.
The grading and packing OF fruit
should not be regulated by prices OBJ
tanned. II any change or any relaxa-
tion in the ordinary rules OF packing
and grading is to be made during q
period OF low prices. 1t should be
made towards greater care, so that
the fruit will sell. regardless Of any
oyersupply.
A good example how appearance
sells fruit Is found in the Ben Davis
apple. Almost every customer knows
the quality OF this particular apple.
yet when properly graded and packed
In new box. the look Of the apple
will sell 1t, regardless Of its quality.

The roof is low at the back. some
OF these poultry houses being not

side and about seven feet in front.
Old-fashioned poultry houses were

idea that poultry house should be

they are not especially high headed,
