Says Diplomacy Failed.

1.-The chief function OF diplomacy is pre-
vention: but in this our diplomacy failed.
doubtless because of its impaired credit
and the manifest lack of disposition to
back words with action. Had this gov
formal diplomatic opportunities left no
doubt that when we said strict account
ability we meant precisely what we said,
and that we should unhesitatingly vindi-
cate that position. I am confident that
there would have been no destruction of
American lives by the sinking of the
Lusitania. There we had ample notice; in
fact. published notice. Furthermore, we
knew the situation and we did not require
specific notice. Instead of whiting
away our formal statements by equivocal
conversations we needed the straight di-
rect and decisive representations which
every diplomat and foreign office would
understand. / believe that in this way
we should have been spared the repeated
assaults on American lives. Moreover a
firm American policy would have been
strongly supported by our people and the
opportunities for the development of bit
ter feeling would have been vastly re-
duced.
ut is a great mistake to say that
resoluteness in protecting American
rights would have led to war. Rather
in that course lay her best assurance
of peace Weakness and indecision in
the maintenance of known rights are
always sources of grave danger; they
forfeit respect and invite serious
wrongs. which in turn create an uncon-
trollable popular resentment. That is
not the path Of national security. Not
only have we host of resources short
of war by which to enforce our just de-
mands. but we shall never promote our
peace by being stronger in words than
in deeds. We should not have found
it difficult to maintain peace. but we
should have maintained peace with
honor During this critical period the
only danger Of war has lain in the weak
course of the administration.

the same footing. but the administra-
spect to the protection of American
lives, it has been remiss with respect
to the protection Of American property
and American commerce 1t has been
too much disposed to be content with
leisurely discussion. I cannot now un-
dertake to review the course Of events,
but 1t is entirely clear that we failed
to use the resources at our command
to prevent injurious action and that We
suffered in consequence. We have no

THE nation has no policy of aggres-

wish her to have peace, stability and

her in binding up her wounds. in re-

ticable way the benefits of our disin-

administration has created difficulties
which we shall have to surmount. We
shall have to overcome the antipathy
needlessly created by that conduct and
to develop genuine respect and conf

policy. policy Of frmness and consist

mand from Mexico the protection of
the lives and the property of our citi-

HUGHES SPEECH

Editors Read the Acceptance
Address Through Their
Partisan SpectacIes.
Candidate Without a Policy.

From the New York World.
Mr. Hughes speech of acceptance is
the public confession of a candidate
who is without an issue and without a
policy. Half of 1t is devoted to an at
tack upon the foreign policy Of Presi-
dent Wilson. but Mr.. Hughes does not
say what he would have done that Mr..
Wilson left undone. or what he would
have left undone that Mr. Wilson did.
Mr. Hughes has spoken. and his speech
is an unanswerable argument for the
reelection Of President Wilson.
Record Of Ineptitude."
From the New. York Tribune.
One clear note runs through the
whole of MIR. Hughes speech of accept
ance. 1t is challenge Of incapacity,
an indictment of failure Mr.. Wilson
can expect nothing from the country
but a fair judgment on his own record.
That 10 all the republican party,
through its candidate. now asks. Long
as 1t Is, Mr.. Hughes Indictment is the
one thing which the administration
cannot successfully meet For to meet
it is to open wider than ever to public
view all that melancholy record of in
eptitude. which, as Mr.. Hughes rightly
says. cannot be examined by any real
American today without the profound
est sense of humiliation.

START TRAINING BULL EARLY
inserting Nose Ring Is Simple and
Short operation-composition
Metal Does Not Rust.

A bulls training must be started
early. A light weight ring should be
inserted in his nose when he is from
nine to twelve months old, but under
no circumstances should he be led by
the ring until three or four months
after so that the nose can heal up
well.
Inserting the nose ring is simple
and short operation when properly
done. First tie the bull securely to a
post by the head and horns, then take
a common trocar and cannula, well
sterilized, and push, it through the
thinnest part of the membrane that
separates the nostrils. withdraw the
trocar, leaving the cannula in the open
ing. Put one end of the opened ring
in the pointed end of the cannula and
then carefully withdraw cannula,
which brings the ring into the open
ing and after closing ring and putting
in the screw, the job is done. Before
the operation, the ring should be e1-

FEED CALVES IN sTANcHIoNs
D1scourases Desire to Suck One An

Entirely Satisfactory.

There are several good reasons for
feeding calves in stanchions. The
calves can be fed their milk, then
their grain, and after they have eaten
the grain they will lose their desire
to suck one anothers ears. A
stanchion made of wood will be entire.
ly satisfactory. 1t should be made
from 8 to 31a feet high and Is to "a
inches from center to center, with the
neck space 4 to 5 inches wide. It is
built in the same manner as the old
style rigid stanchion. The calf should
be fastened while eating, but loosened
from the stanchions after it has eaten
it's grain. The calf pens and stanchions
should be built in the south side of the
barn, where plenty Of sunshine anG
light csi. be had. There is no disin-
fectant that will take the place OF
sunshine.

amined and all rough edges carefully
filed down so there is nothing to irri-
tate the nose and keep it raw and
bleeding.
When the animal is about two to
two and one-half years old, the light
ring should be removed and good
heavy ring inserted. Iron rings should
not b., used as they rust and keep the
bulls nose raw and sore. The best
are made Of brass or bronze compost
tion metal and do not rust.
In tying up the bull by the nose,
one should be careful to avoid frishL-
ening him, causing him to jump back
and slit the ring out Of his nose. It
is safest to pass the tie chain through
the nose ring and then up and around
his horns and when he jerks back most
of the strain comes on the horns and
not at the nose.

PROPER TOOLS FOR DAIRYING
Manure spreader Is One of Most
Profitable ImpIements-Silo Is
REGARDED as Essential.

It is impossible to give a specific
answer to the question as to what tools
q dairyman should possess. Much de-.
pends upon a mans pocketbook and
the possibility Of his changing work
with neighbors to get the use of their
tools, and upon labor conditions In
general. For instance, manure
spreader is one of the most profitable
implements for farmer with any
amount of dressing to distribute. Yet
it is possible to handle the manure in
the old way if man simply cannot
buy a spreader.
If you are dairying you ought to
have a silo, and that means silage
cutter and an engine, unless you can
arrange with a neighbor to do the
work. If you raise potatoes in any
quantity planter, sprayer, and sure
ly a digger, will perform the work
most economically Yet it is possible
to get along without these. OF course,
you would not expect to compete very
successfully with growers who have
such improved machinery. This class
of tools is in use only portion of the
year, and it ties up your capital to your
disadvantage if you have but little to
begin with. There are certain things
that every farmer is expected to have,
such as wagons, plows, harrows, now
ing machine, hayrake, etc.

justified, although it is possible that
future investigation may change the
situation in this respect. In the pres
ent state of road science, however, it
seems that where traffic conditions
are such that a bituninous surface
on a concrete road is practicable a
bituminous-surface macadam road
would be equally practicable and GER
tainly cheaper. Where traffic is too
heavy for macadam road the btu
minous surface is likely to give way
and the uneven manner in which it
fails tends to produce excessive wear
on portions Of the concrete.
For successful concrete road, hard
ness, toughness and uniformity are
the most essential qualities. These
can be secured to a great extent by
care in the selection Of the constitu-
ent materials and the proportions in
which they are mixed. Sample speci-
fcations are included in the bulletin,
No. 249, Portland Cement Concrete
Pavements for Country Roads"

GOOD
ROADS
MILEAGE OF CONCRETE ROADS
Growth In Popularity Indicated by
Rapid Increase in Recent Years
in United States.

The mileage of concrete pavements
in the United States has increased
rapidly, and it is likely to continue
to increase, according to a new bulle-
tin of the United States department
OF agriculture. This bulletin gives
the estimated amount Of concrete
pavement in the United States in 1914
as 100000 square yards; in 1909 1t
was only $4,000 square yards.
The principal advantage of concrete
paYements which have led to this in
crease in popularity are said to be:
1. Durability under ordinary traftic
conditions.
2. A smooth, even surface Offering
little resistance.
8. Absence of dust and ease with
which it may be cleaned.
4. Comparatively small cost OF
maintenance until renewals are neces-
Sary.
5. Availability as base for another
type of surface if desirable.
6. Attractive appearance.
In commenting upon these advan-
tages the bulletin states that the dur
ability of concrete roads has not yet
been proved by actual practice, be-
cause there are no very old pave
ments as yet in existence, but from
the condition of those which have un-
dergone several years service it
seems probable that they will be
found to wear well.
The disadvantages of concrete as
a road surface are:
/. It's noise under horse traffic.
2. The wearing Of the necessary
Joints in the pavement, and the tend
ency to crack, with its consequent
rapid deterioration.
8. The difficulty of repairs when
these become necessary.
In the past efforts have frequently
been made to overcome these objec-
tions to certain degree by covering
the concrete pavement with bitumi-
nous wearing surface. At the present
time, the specialists in the department
hold that this cannot be economically
