The Everyday Miraeles.

The Everyday Miracles.
Now, who by musing can disclose
The hidden secret of the rose,
A miracle OF petalled birth:
And who can weave into a dream
The beauty Of the rainbow's beam
And glory Of new Rnade earth:
Whose heart can know whence comes
the note
That swells the scarlet feathered throat
A miracle Of melodious chime!
Whose hands with care can deity take
From whir1 Of snow a single fake
And fashion it a second time?
And who by thought profound and deep
Can know the stars that guard our sleep
A miracle Of heaven born light?
And who can keep the gold and blue
Reflected in a drop Of dew
Left by the trailing skirts Of night?

the first place they can't do 1t honestly.
They don't believe in It. They were
born and bred in a different faith.
They have been crying so long that
protection is an abuse of power and an
abomination that they can't reconcile
themselves to protective tariff, and
they regard the Underwood tariff as
model. That is what we are to have
If the Democrats go back-the Under
wood tariff still, with perhaps here
and there slight modification regard
ing dye stuffs and some other articles
which can be shown to gentlemen
from Missouri and elsewhere. Well,
If there ever was clumsy, i'll concedv-'
ed, misfit law, 1t is the tariff which
bears Mr.. Underwood's name. We had
already discovered what it's effect was
when the war in Europe began.
Many mills and factories were
closed or running but part of the
time. Great numbers of laborers we're
thrown out of employment and the
market for American products was
still further reduced by the destruo-
ton of their purchasing power. En-,
terpr1se halted. discouraged and appre-
hensive of the future. New enter
prises were no longer attempted. Old
plants were no. longer enlarged The
Underwood tariff had already failed
when the war in Europe began. That
war furnished and continues to furn-
ish to American production the most
absolute protection because 1t has so
great a degree stopped production in
Europe. So long as the war lasts our
producers have practically no COM
petition in our home market, for
Europe does not make the goods to
sell here At the same time, while
the war lasts our producers have am
enormous market in Europe for the
things that Europe can't produce in
sufficient quantities. When the war is
over that condition will cease, and we
shall deserve what happens to US if
we do not provide against that time
by tariff quite different from the
Underwood tariff and made by men
who do not consider tariff for rev.
enue only an article Of religious faith.

Elihu Root Shows That the Re-
publican Party's Cardinal
Principle Has Won the
Only Decisive Battle
of the Contest
WE PROSPER BECAUSE THE
HOME MARKET is OUR OWN
When Peace Comes and Foreign Com
mercial Considerations Look Hun
srily Toward America, We Shall
Deserve What Happens TO Us If
Provision Is Not Made Against Dis
aster by a Tariff Quite Different
From the Underwood Folly.

There is one particular subject with
which the United States must deal
in order to meet the revulsion In pro-
duction and trade which will accom-
pany the close of the great war. That
is the Tariff. l think there Is very
general agreement upon that. When
the demand for supplies to the armies
IN the field has ended great numbers
of men wild return to productive en-
ployment in Europe and great num-
bers Of operatives will be thrown out
OF employment here and will have to
find other work. Europe will have
little money and be heavily in debt
She will be under strong compulsion
to pay her debts by making and sell
ing goods. She will be on a basis of
strict economy and high organization
and she can make and sell cheaply.
The United States will have an album
dance OF money and vast purchasing
power Our market has always been
attractive to European producers. 1t
will be far more attractive after the
war. 1t is highly probable that even
England win resort to a protective
tariff, so that our production will meet
protective barriers in all foreign mar
kets. What are we going to do then?
We must do something. We must pro-
tect ourselves or we shall become the
dumping ground of the world and cur
workmen will beg in the streets.
Even the Democrats have seen
that something must be DONE for they
have provided a tariff board to ascer-
tain and report the true facts to which
a tariff law Is to be applied. In Mr..
Taft's Administration the Republicans
provided for tariff board to report
to the President and 1t was appointed
and doing excellent work. When the
Democratic House elected in 1910
came In they starved it out of exist
ence by refusing appropriations. In
the last session of the 61st Congress
the Republicans passed through both
Houses new bill for tariff board to
report to Congress. There were some
slight differences of detail IN the two
Houses, which were agreed upon In
conference, but the Democrats fihbust
cred against the final conference re-
port and so killed the bill. So the
tariff board was dead-slain by the
Democratic party. 1t has now been
resurrected by that party because they
see that something must be done
about the tariff when the war closes.
Now, we can all understand that If the
country wants a tariff for revenue only
they may put the making of it in the
hands of the Democratic party But,
can any sane man contemplate that
party making a protective tariff? In

GROWING ALFALFA SEED.
Home Production FsaeIbIe When Mar
ke& paIoea Are Prohlbi&lva.


kss PcIeea Are ProhIbltIye,
Attention has been called TO pOesibii-
tiles IN home production Of alfalfa seed
when market prices are prohibitive Tor
the planting Of large areas, says the
Orange Judd Farmer. Western seed
etin holds the reputation for seed Of
the common or taproot varieties. and
this has been augmented by failure for
more eastern sections to get seed from
these varieties. II takes a drought to
make the plants set, and ordinary
years do not usually provide long
enough period which ia hot and dry.
The spreading root varieties, such as
Grimm, however. can usually be made
10 produce seed under eastern condt-
tons, and the possibilities In home pro-
ductiop, both for the farm and COM
mercially, hold much n promise.
In preparing the land for alfalfa seed
production the soil Is handled in Just
the same way as when hay is to be pro-
duced. HoweveF. the seed Is planted
In rows about eight inches apart and
dropped by hand or with hand drill,
several seeds only to the inch. At this
rate Il takes one and one-half to two
pounds for an acre, and with good luck
the acre may return Eve bushels Of
seed The success Of the seed crop is,
Of course. largely dependent upon the
weather, and common varieties may
not be expected to do well unless O
good drought stunts the plant growth
enough TO throw the plant energy into
seed production.
An example Of successful production
Of alfalfa seed Is found on the farm OF
Lewis A. Morgan In Seneca county,
N. 7. In accordance with campaign
conducted by the Lehigh Valley rail-
road In 1918 to encourage alfalfa pro
duction Mr., Morgan planted one pound
Of Grimm seed on an acre. The cut.
ting gave him five bushels, which was
enough for the land he wished to put
into alfalfa for hay, and also gave him
an opportunity to sell a little Of the
seed at $50 bushel
