The definite admission was made
by one Democratic leader that GER
tain Progressive leaders were expect
ed in St. Louis in a few days.
One thing done at a Sunday con-
ference, it was learned, was to check
off the probable Democratic plat
form against the platform adopted
by the Bull MOOsers. The Democratic
platform, it was agreed, would meet
the PTOgTessives' expressed desire on
the following points:
Universal military training, regUla-
ton of industry and just distribution
of its returns, establishment of an
American merchant marine, national
highway development, a permanent
tariff commission, removal of artifi-
cial causes of the RICH cost of living,
prevention of exploitation of men,
women and children in industry by
extension. of WOrkmen's COmpensa-
ton law and a real child labor law
protection of the wage Garner, and
a properly regulated system of rural
credits to encourage the farmer and
give to the landless man an OppOrtU-
nifty to acquire land.
zStUmbling blocks in any get-tOgeth-
er program, all Democrats agreed,
would include the following Moose
planks: Protective tariff, woman suf-
frage and Mexican policy.
Subjects that offer debatable
ground, the Democrats feel, include:
Americanism, a navy second among
those of the world and conservation.

ably be a tougher fight over the vice

like to get MarshaITs job apparent
Iy Among them is said to be Roger

take Sullivan's candidacy seriously.
They think it merely a political play
on the gas boss part.
Democratic leaders, who we're
hopeful of a third ticket in the field,
still claim Hughes will be easy for
Wilson. They point out the fact that
they have a strong campaign cry
against a judge who steps from the
supreme court bench into a political
race.
They agree that Hughes will get a
strong German vote. So they think
it would be a wise idea to turn
around and shout the hyphenated
cry against the juTist.
Some Of the old crowd, including
Sullivan, Tammany Murphy and the
others, are said to be peeved over the
fact that Wilson selected Ollie James
as permanent chairman and Martin
Glynn as temporary without con-
sulting their wishes. They also in
tend to block MCAdoo's selection as
chairman of the national commit
tee.

Gratis to pass a resolution against
federal judges running for political
Office as a slap at Judge Hughes.
Sen. Stone is in favor of the reso-

DAIRY
PROFITS IN DAIRY BUSINESS
Living Even When They Are
Losing Money on Herd.

1t is unfortunate for dairy farmers
that they cannot always tell how
much they are making or losing with
out great deal of study and investi-
cation. 1t is also unfortunate that
they are losing money on their herd.
If 1t were possible to Immediately de-
termine the profits and losses in the
dairy business farmers would not con-
tinue to lose money when they think
they are making little. Men who
care only for Lying are usually sat
isfied If they get it some way or other
and such men are slow to realize what
they are losing by maintaining an I'M
profitable herd of cattle.
The remedy for the situation is to
charge up the products of the farm to
the cows who are eating the products.
Test every cow and know what she
can do, breed to purebred dairy bull
and improve the herd and then dis
pense with the boarders. There is no
mystery about how a man can lose
money on the dairy business and still
make living. He does not make the
living from dairying.

ATTENTION TO GRAPEvINES
Pruning Should Be Done in Late Fall
or Early Winter Months, and
Never in Spring.

Grapevines should always be pruned
in the late fall or early winter months
and never in spring. If the pruning is
done in spring, the vines are sure to
lose so much sap from bleeding" that
much of the vigor of the vine is lost
and consequently the fruit crop suffers
in just that proportion. The grape is
always grown upon canes of the pres
ent year and not upon the canes of last
season, hence it is necessary to prune
away or cut off the major part of last
seasons canes, leaving few buds only
at the base or near the older wood
to produce the canes that are to be-
come fruit bearers. Four or five buds,
or even two or three, therefore, will be
sufficient for this purpose. 1t will be
found also that the best fruit will be
nearest the main stalk or stem of the
plant. For this reason also leave a
very few buds only for fruit bearing,
"a few good young canes being worth
much more than a quantity of poor,
weak ones.

Cows and Calves Thrive on Abundant
Pasture.

Of the children who drink the milk
qualified veterinarian should be
called upon to inspect and test each
cow every year.
With the assurance of healthy COW,
she should be housed in clean, well
lighted shed and provided with a clean
yard in which to exercise. The milk
should be drawn into clean, small
topped milk pail and kept cool until
consumed.
Milk sours and spoils because Of the
bacteria which enter 1t with dirt from
the COW and from pals not thoroughly
washed. Keeping these bacteria out
of the milk and preventing their
growth by keeping the milk cool, are
easy and efficient means of procuring
the best of milk from the family cow,
provided she is free from disease.

have packed the soil and kept it water
soaked deep cultivation will help to
dry and aerate the soil. Breaking the
roots of the plants must be avoided
so far as possible. If roots are broken,
the plants will rapidly produce other
roots, but 1t will be Mt the expense of
the vitality and food supply. After
the plants have reached n height of
l,so or three feet, the soil, even in the
middle of the rows, should not be cul-
tivated deeper than four inches, and
usually shallower cultivation will
prove better. For retaining soil mois-
ture loose soil mulch two or three
inches in thickness should be main
tanned.
The best answer to the question of
how frequently corn should be cult
waited is that 1t should be cultivated
often enough to keep down weeds and
to maintain constantly a loose soil
mulch until the corn has attained its
growth. To this end greater num-
Der of civilizations will be necessary
when rains at intervals Of about
week cause the surface soil to run
together and crust. This crust must
be broken and the soil mulch restored,
or evaporation will soon rob the soil
Of its moisture. It is a mistake to
think that the longer the drought the
more frequent should be the cultiva-
lions. After n fine mulch of about
three inches in depth has been produced
its frequent stirring Is not necessary,
except in so far as IL Is required to
keep weeds from starting. The essen
tial object Of cultivation is to restore
the soil mulch as soon after rain as
the condition of the ground will per-
nit If this time Is allowed to pass
and the ground becomes hard and
baked, the crop will suffer greatly, for
the cultivation of hard dry ground
breaks 1t up into clods, causing more
injury than IL such cultivation had not
been given at all. All observant farm
ers have seen crops injured in this
manner Many crops are cut short by
stopping the cultivation, because the

URGE REGULARITY WITH cow
Does Her Best Only When MIXED al
Equal and Stated Periods Of
About Twelve Hours.

The COW can do her best only when
MIXED at equal and regular daily pc
RODS of about twelve hours each the
year around. The full supply Of milk
is not in the udder ready to be drawn
out before milking time comes, but
some of it is produced by the glands
during the operation of milking. The
udder, however, is usually filled and
the cow becomes accustomed to this,
but If the operation of milking is de-
layed and glands cease to some ex-
tent to secrete milk, they will then
not be stimulated to good activity dur
ing the process of milking. This in
jures the glands and produces a de-
crease in the milk flow.

TOO MUCH SALT MAY
KILL SOME ANIMALS
When Taken in Excessive Quanti-
ties 1t Is PoisonouS-Chick-

By I. f. NEwSOM Colorado Agricultur :
al College, Fort Collins.)
Samples of salt are occasionally sent
to the agricultural college for analysis
with the statement that animals, usual
ly cattle or sheep, were poisoned after
eating it in considerable quantities. In
no case has any foreign substance that
would account for the poisoning been
found.
Since salt is necessary to life and
is in universal use, it Is difficult to
realize that in large amounts 1t Is
poisonous. Many cases of poisoning
in chickens have been reported and
occasionally in larger animals. In one
instance salt was by mistake used in
stead Of sugar in making cake. The
cake was given to the chickens and
killed all of them. Chickens are very
susceptible to salt poisoning and, while
the amount that 1t takes to kill a horse
or COW Is considerable, this sometimes
occurs when these animals are especial.

AS mice and rabbits are likely to
girdle young apple trees during the
winter months, the horticulturists of
the Nebraska College of Agriculture
say that all grass, weeds and litter
should be removed from the base of
the trees to prevent the mice from

cultivator without breaking down the
stalks. If the condition of the soil de-
mands it, shallow cultivation should
continue, even though the corn Is tas-
selling. A small implement with sew
eral narrow blades and short single
tree may often be used for maintain
ing q soil mulch after the corn Is too
tall for the use of double cultivators.
Some forms of the One-hOrse cultivator
are especially adapted to cutting off
weeds. Blocks nailed on the handles
of the implement will protect the
hands from the corn blades.
1t Is sometimes profitable to remove
weeds even by the costly process Of
hand hoeing, and at as late date as
the silking time of the corn.
Walking Double cuItivator.
With good riding or walking dou-
BILE cultivator one man can cultivate
as many acres as two men with one
horse cultivators, and with the most
| improved types he can accomplish the
work more easily and fully as well.
Because Of this saving Of labor, double
cultivators should be used wherever
practicable. Two-row cultivators
equipped with four gangs of shovels
and drawn by three horses are meet
ing with favor in the central prairie
states. AS one Of these completes the
cultivation of two rows of corn each
time is crosses the field, one man can
cultivate Is acres per day. In many
sections 1t is often difficult to obtain
laborers when they are needed and as
with these twO-row cultivatOrs one
man can cultivate as many acres as
two men with One-row two-horse cul-
tivators, their use is likely to increase,
especially in comparatively level Sec
tons free from stumps and rocks
where corn is planted by means of
two-row planters. Some forms of these
two-rOw cultivators are mounted on
two wheels. like two-horse double cul-
tivators, while others made for plOw-
ing listed corn are carried on runners
or low, broad wheels designed so as to
follow the rows made by the lister.
Three-row cultivators of this type are
used to some extent on large fields
free from Instructions. Very stumpy
land or tall corn may necessitate the
use of one-horse cultivators.
ShoveIs for CuItivators.
The kinds of shovels with which 1t
is best to equip either single or double
cultivators must be determined by the
character of the soil, size of the corn
and the size and nature of growth Of
the weeds to be destroyed. Without
exception. any form of shovel found
to do good work on a one-horse cult
vator can be attached to double or
two-row. cultivator. In some cases the
surfaced eultivator does better work
than the disk cultivator which may
leave narrow strips of solid soil that
are not covered with fine, loose soil.
All forms Of shovels should be so adj
justed that the loosened soil will make
Il fine and even covering for the harder
soil beneath. Shovels sometimes may
be modified at the farm blacksmith
shop for special use on river-bottOm
land where bindweed, man-of-the-
earth, and other vines and weeds are
hard to control. Sharp horizontal
blades at the bottom Of shovels strike
the weeds squarely, so that there is
little chance for them to escape by
slipping by either side, as is so COM
mon with ordinary shovels.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
The most successful corn growers
realize the Importance of thorough
early cultivation, thus preventing any
check In the growth of the plants be-
cause Of weeds or crusted soil. The
farmer should see that, from the time
of termination to the maturing of the
corn the plants are not subjected to
any preventable unfavorable condi-
lions, but are given an opportunity to
make steady, vigorous growth. If
their development is checked from any
cause they will never fully recover, no
matter how favorable the later treat
ment. AS consequence of heavy rain
fall the stalks may increase rapidly
in height, and at the same time, for
lack of cultivation or of soil fertility
or for some other reason, they may be
slender or of poor color. Thrifty corn
plants are thick, strong, and of dark
green color.
Horse weeders and harrows should
be used when needed to break a sur

ally found desirable to prevent the
