Colonel Raps Hyphenates;

TELLS HOW HE AVERTED
 WAR WITH GERMANY
He Treated Teutons Cour-

 for Venezuela.
(sy Review Leased Wire, ,

OYSTER BAY, May 27-Hundreds of persons came here today in three special trains from New York and marched to Sagimore Hill. in column four abreast, to pay their respects to Colonel Theodore Roosevelt and as sure him of their support in the event of his nomination for the presidency. The marchers, headed by the Seventh Regiment Band. sang "The Army and Navy Forever" and other popular airs
 Richard H. Hurd, who was spokes- man for the visitors. in addressing Colonel Roosevelt. said:
 Lincoln said this nation could not endure half slave and half free It is equally true as you have pointed out, that this nation cannot now endure half hyphenated and half American"
 Colonel Roosevelt, addressing the visitors. said:
 r. R. Rsps Hyphenates
 We have right to demand of ev- cry man who comes here and becomes a citizen, that he become an American and nothing else. We regard the hy- phen as a bar sinister drawn across our national coat of arms and we don't intend to permit it to remain there. To you. both native of this country and those born abroad, and to you old native Americans of old stock, you cannot expect to get loyalty from the immigrant or the immigrants children unless you make this a country to which a proud man can be loyal and to do that you have got to demand that the country stand for courage and for strength. No man ever yet was loyal to a coward No man ever vt was loyal to a weakling whose weakness was due to the fact that he would not take the pains to be strong.
 How He Averted Wars
 Just tonight I was very glad to see published in the papers the letter of Admiral Dewey describing an in cident that took place while I was president When we were menaced with war acted upon my theory that the proper way of handling interna- tional relations was by speaking soft ly and carrying a big stick
 The Big Stick
 And in that particular case Admir- al Dewey and the American fleet were the big stick. I was as courteous as possible: not only acted with justice and courtesy toward them, but I put every battleship and every torpedo boat on the sea under the American flag and Dewey, with instructions to hold himself ready and in entire pre- paredness to said at moments not ice. That didn't mean that we had war. Dewey was the greatest possible preservative of peace.
 We will do we'll to remember one of Lowell's great lines: Peace won't keep house with fear It is line worth something and the way to keep peace is moi to be so unprepared as to invite war"

SAVE ALL FERTILIZER
Concrete Pits Advocated for
Storage of Manure.
Enormous Amount Of Waste In FertiI-
ity Prevented-cIear Dimensions Of
Convenient Pit and Directions
for Building.

The use of concrete on the farm is
long past the experimental stage. 1t
is q necessity. The first cost of con-
crete is higher than for structures
built of wood, but concrete is much
cheaper in the long run.
For maintaining or restoring the
fertility of the fields, there is nothing
better than barnyard manure. By
the ordinary methods of piling manure
on the ground or storing it in wooden
pens or boxes, 80 to so per cent of its
fertility is lost This loss is brought
about in two ways: First, by teaching
or washing due to heavy rains; Sec
ond, by fermentation or heating caused
by lack of sufficient moisture. Since
concrete pits are waterproof, manure
may be kept in them as moist as may
be necessary and such an enormous
waste in the fertility of the manure
may thus be entirely prevented. One
load of manure from a concrete pit
is worth 11a to loads of manure as
usually stored. Moreover. with con-
crete pits the supply of manure is in
creased by all the liquid manure. the
richest part, from the barn cutters and
feeding floors.
Shallow manure pits do very well
where the manure can be frequently
hauled to the fields. The walls and
floor should be five inches thick. The
clear dimensions of convenient pit
are: Depth. feet; width, feet;
length, 12 feet. Dig the trench feet

MEAT FOOD INCREASES EGGS
Skim Milk and No Better Plan
Than Feeding to Fowls.

In the poultry feeding experiments
made at the Purdue university 1t was
found that the addition OF some form
Of meat food to the ration increased
the egg production about 100 eggs per
pullet per year. This would mean
about 10000 eggs in a farmers flock
Of 100 hens. The income per bird in
the pen fed no meat food was 67 cents
The pen fed skim milk gave an in
come of $2.7S, the highest in the ex-
pertinent, due to heavier winter egg
production.
Poultry raisers have long been ia
miliar with the schedule OF grains,
green's. grits and grubs.' but farmers
as rule have paid too little attention
to the "grubs" part of it. This expert
ment shows the importance Of provid-
ing a substitute for the bugs and
worms the fowls get during the sum.
mer season when they are permitted
to range. On most farms there is
plenty of skim milk and no better use
can be made Of it than to feed it to
the chickens. Meat scrap and fish
scrap can be purchased If skim milk
is not available.

BEST KIND OF WIRE FENCING
Much Depends on Purpose for Which

pose Fabric Favored.

The best kind of wire fencing to
erect depends on the purpose for
which the fence is used. On farm
where mixed types of live stock are
kept a general.purpose woven-wire
fabric is needed. II only cattle .and
horses are to be pastured, coarser
and less expensive woven fence can be
used. When fencing is needed to in
close extensive pastures where only
cattle or horses are to be kept the
excessive cost of a woven-wire fence
would not make its use desirable, for
losses of stock by injury on barbed
wire would not be large enough to
counterbalance the difference in the

Buffalo burr is a native of western

way it gets a start in feed lots. The
