There is little doubt that one of the
most oppressive, injurious, detestable
forces in the world is the force of con-
ventionality, that instinct which
makes men Judge character and an &C
ton, not by its beauty OF its mer-
its, but by comparing it with the
standard of how the normal man
would regard it. This vast and in
tolerable medium of dullness. which
penetrates our lives like a thick, dark
mist, allowing us only to see the OBJ
1ect in range % an immediate vision,
hostile to all originality, crushingly
respectable, that dictates our homes,
our occupations, our amusements, our
emotions, our religion, is the most
ruthless and tyraRnical thing in the
world.-Arthur Christopher Benson.

USE CARE WITH ACID sILAeE
Plan Of Feeding to Kssb Cows In Good
Physical Condition and Induce
Good Work In Dairy.

A good deal OF corn is put into the
silo every year before 1t is properly
matured. This year this is particu-
larry true. Early frost, or fear of be-
ing overtaken by IL has induced
many farmers to cut their corn while
it had little but stalks, the ears being
quite undeveloped. This often makes
acid silage and cows do not do as well
on 1t as they would on well-matured
corn.
Where a man has to feed this kind
of ensilage he ought to be careful not
to give too much at a feeding. A
small ration of this tender corn will
be eaten with great relish, there being
practically no waste. To balance the
ration and furnish a satisfying meal
there should be as much hay given as
the cows will eat up clean, not at the
same time as the ensilage is fed, but
at another time of day. Then, too,
some ground feed viii go very well
TO supplement still further the unbal-
anced ration provided in the corn.
This should not be especially laxa-
tive in it's nature; the cows are get
ting laxative food enough in the en-
silage. Cornmeal seems a good feed;
or ground oats make a rich ration.
Such plan of feeding ought to keep
the cows in good physical condition
and enable them to do good work in
the dairy. =. 6-',...s, =.

FEEDING CALVES SOUR MILK
Experiment Of Department Of AaricuI.
ture Shows Scours Are Due to
Uneleanly Conditions. -

BY recent experiment the depart
ment of agriculture seems to show
that scours are not due to sour milk
but to uncleanly conditions. If the
milk is not allowed to stand for any
great length OF time and not allowed
to become Nnclean it is as nourishing
to the young calf as sweet skim milk
and as rapid gains were made in one
case as in the other.
It was further shown that sudden
changes from sweet to sour and from
sour to sweet made no apparent
change in the calf. although the calf
was only a few days old. 1t was
found by experiment, however, that
sour milk does not prove so favorable
in winter as in summer.

RECORD KEEPING PAYS WELL
Everything Must Be Determined in
Light Of Scales, Babeoek Test and
Cost Of Production.

Before the results OF modern herd
records were known, dairy cattle
we're admitted to the herd books, and
bought and sold, chiefly ON their out
ward appearances. There was no
standard by which to determine the
relation Of form to production. A
nice-looking COW was the one which
brought the most money. What con-
stituted such a COW was largely mat
ter OF opinion or prejudice.
With the introduction OF herd rec
ords opinions came TO be valued In
direct proportion 10 ones understand
ing Of the relation OF form TO produc-
ton. Everything must be determined
In the light OF the scales, the Babcock
teui and TIE eont of milk prodpelioa.

A dry mash with a reasonable per
cent of meat scrap is necessary, or,

well, with plenty of succulent green
stuff like cabbage, with grit, lime,

but making themselves useful, they
will produce the eggs.
The reason the pullets on the farm
lay so few eggs in fall and winter, and
put off regular laying until often late
spring, is due to letting them run witt
the flock and giving no extra feed
ing or warm room to themselves. This
last is the only way to get winter egg
from the early spring pullets

Droppings should be removed daily

Poultry houses, however simple,
should be both warm in winter and

tion we must leave with breed enthu
siasts, says a writer in an exchange.
Considerable proof can be adduced
by both sides. but in the final analysis
the question resolves itself into a
choice of individuals within the breed
and their development, due considera-
ton being given to the buyers per
sonal preferences and opportunities
of purchase of good individuals.
We would hesitate to dispose OF a
good producing herd Of one breed and
replace it with another without giving
the matter most careful thought. The
disposition Of the milk, the prices the
surplus animals will bring, and the
cost of making the change should be
fully considered.

Trained, and would still .efrain
but fol the feet that now plain
justice to the Republican candi-
dates demands that SANDER be
met with facts. and distorted rec
ords with the records themselves,
without establishment.
The statement of this record is
not a pleasant one. 1t is not a
statement for the ger eral public.
But it is a statement of the rec

voters of New Mexico are entitled
before they proceed to cast their
ballots in the election of Tuesday
next.
The letters referred to here,
the originals of which are in pos

has been printed, which pamph-

voters of New Mexico.
There will be no comment here
upon these letters, or the facts

further reference to the facts in
this record by the Republican
party managers. This present
statement is made for general
circulation only in order that
there may be no ground for q

necessary tnat RepuDllcanS reply
to slander with slander. 1t is
necessary, however, that its place
before the PEOPLE squarely and
accurately the characters ana the
records of the men who are direct
ing the campaign of villification
against the Republican candi'
dates.
The facts in the case of A. A.
Jones were known TO the leaders
of his party when he was nom
inattd. Had they been known to
the rank and file of his party
Jones would not have been nom
mated. The Republicans do not
charge to the rank and file Of
New Mexico Democrats any part
of the campaign of libel which
the Democrat!c leaders have
made. The facts in the case Of
A, A. Jones were known to many
leading Republicans. No refer
ence has been made to those facts
by any Republican holding a re-
sponsible position in the party or
ganization up to this time. 1t
had not been the purpose of Re
publicans to make any such ref
erence, although failure to do so
was an injustice to the people Of
New Mexico.
The statement of the facts in
the case of A. A. Jones, now be
ing made to the voters of New
Mexico, has been made by the
Republican State Committee with
reluctance, and it has been made
solely because this man, who is
the directing mind in the Demo
cratic campaign of libel, has gone
SO far that simple justice de
mands that he be placed correct
| ly before the people in the ligh,
of the facts in his record.
The Republicans, in presenting
these facts, might be justified in
stating that the letters OF a dead
woman will defeat A. A. Jones

There is, however, no desire
for sensational statement on the
part of any Republican. The
facts as they are presented are
sufficient. They will be permitted
to speak for themselves. These
facts are presented by means ol
photographs of letters written by
a dead woman, and that woman
the wife of A. A. Jones. These
facts, as revealed by these tragi,
letters, will be left to the peopl,
of New Mexico, for their judg
ment upon the same.
The originals of these letters
have been in possession of tn,

Political
Adver-
tisernent
To the Voters Of
New Mexico:

During the two months of the
present campaign candidates on
the Republican state ticket have
been subjected to a rising flood of
villification, sland6r and persona!
abuse from the Democratic candi-
dates. their campaign managers
and their newspapers. The cam
paign these men have made from
the platform and through their
newspapers has been more evil
than campaigns made by the same
men in former years. In the past
and during the present campaign
these assaults have been borne by
the Republican party, its candi-
dates and its committeeman with
patience, dignity and restraint.
The campaign made by and in
behalf of the Democratic candi-
dates has been unrelieved by any
record or any statement of fact.
1t has been a campaign Of unre-
strained SANDER. 1t has been a
deliberately planued and a ruth
lessly executed effort to ruin the
characters of honorable men. Alb
solutely nothing has been spared.
The public records of the Repub-
lican candidates, their private
business affairs, their personal
lives and their homes all have
been assailed through the news
papers supporting the Democratic
candidates, from the platform by
the Democratic candidates them
selves and through false state
ments, Systematically circulated
among the people by word OF
mouth.
The Republicans of New Mex
leo, their candidates and Their
active party workers and commit
teemen have endured these out
RACES with patience and forbear
ance. They have met slandei
with official public records. They
have believed and now believe
that the people of New Mexico
are of sound judgement and thai
they cannot be tricked by distor
tions of facts or fooled by lies.
AS this campaign has drawn to
ward its close the flood of Demo
cratic abuse has risen to its crest
Within the past few days the
Democratic candidates and theil
managers have gone beyond tn,
limit of wrongful assault whicl
men of honor and courage can en-
dure in silence.
Posing as men of honest re
cords and clean lives the heads
of the Democratic ticket, assist
ed by their managers and thei
newspapers have exceeded any
thing heretofore done by them il
the PRONUNCIATION of falsehood
foul insinuation and deliberatl
slander.
During the past few days ther
has commenced TO appear in tn
Albuquerque Morning Journa
and the Santa Fe New Mexican
the principal newspaper support
ers of A. A. Jones and William
c. Mcdonald, certain fragment
of alleged letters; a sentence an,
a half-statement, strung togethe
ingenuously so as TO make il an
pear that practically every ma
in any way connected activel
with Republican party affairs dun
ing the past ten years has bee

connected directly with transac-
tions, mysteriously limited at,
which, it is made to appear, have
been dishonorable transactions
and against the public interest.
The direct inference drawn by
these men through their news
papers is that the whole active
membership of the Republican
party from the leaders in Colfax
county to the leaders in Dona Ana
county and throughout the state
have been grafters, corruptionists
and thieves.
The Santa Fe New Mexican,
on Saturday, October 26, printed
in black tpye across the top of it's
first page the statement that "A
dead mans tale" would defeat
one of the Republican candidates;
and again on Monday, October
80, the statement in large display
that dead men rise to point ac-
cusing finger" at a Republican
candidate.
These headings have been fol-
lowed by a mass of vile insinua-
ton, barely escaping direct state
ment, and always sufficiently
direct to convey an impression of
horrid wrongdoing.
We're there a shadow of basis
for these publications and for the
spoken libels of the Democratic
campaigners the situation might
be less revolving to men whose
sense of justice and decency is
sound. But the men who inspire
these attacks and the newspaper
owners who publish them know
them to be without any founda-
ton, without any justification
and have planned them deliberate.
| ly as a part of a monsurous cam
paign of falsehood.
For severai years A. A. Jones'
the Democratic candidate for the
| United States Senate, has beer
the directing force in the Demo
lcraLlc party IN New Mexico. lie
is the directing force in the pre-
sent campaign. Remaining al
ways in the background of the
attack and posing always as ;
man of high principle and pur,
| life, Jones has planned the Demo
cratic campaigns and has pulled
the strings which have directed
the outpouring of slime. He hai
been careful to speak none of tn,
libels personally. But those libel
] have been spoken in his presenc,
and with his knowledge, consen
and connivance. He is the rea
head of the Democratic organiza
ton and the campaign it has wag
ed and is now waging is of hi
planning.
: In justice TO its candidates an,
its membership the Republican
party cannot longer sit quiet an,
permit unworthy men to slande
: men of clean lives, square record
and sterling character. It is no
