Who know him. There will be night

The Case Of Grayson.

It Is said by those who have pro
tested against the promotion of Dr.
Cary T. Grayson to the rank Of rear
admiral in the medical corps OF the
navy that he Is "entirely capable Of
filling the higher office with COM
pIete satfsfaction," and that tha OBJ
lection to his promotion Is In no
sense personal. The reason for op'
nositIon to his taking the higher
place Is that some other member or
the corps would like to get 1t for
himself. not because he Is better
htted by professional attachments
nrobably. but because he has been IN
The service a good deal longer than
Grayson and outranks him in the list
OF other eligibles for the position.
Rut that is not the way things are
done In the business and political
world nowadays. Something like n
hundred general officers in France
have been dismissed from the mill
tarv service of that country, which
was never so effective as II Is now
and a Young American by the name
OF Albert Stanley has been appointed
r,InIster of commerce and president
~ the board OF trade in the British
cabinet Probably the President
Knowing Grayson's fitness for the
service required OF him, selected him
rather than any Of the men outranN-
ing him for the reason of his eff
cIsncy Probably, also, IL he had
named the frst man on the list VINO
svar he may be, there might have
been objection from the friends OF
the III other eligibles between MIN
and Grayson.

VIRGINIA SENATOR
WITHOUTOPpOSITION
Governor Stuart Announces He
win Not Run Against
Thomas S. Martin.

The announcement OF Gov. Henry
c. Stuart OF Virginia that he will
not be candidate for the United
States Senate next year clears the
way for Senator Thomas s. Martin,
or Virginia, to realize one of the
dreams of his political career-a re-
nomination and rejection to the SEN
ate without opposition within his
own party.
Senator Martin Is now completing
his fourth term In. the Senate, a pc
riod o. twenty-four years He was
first elected in 1893 when he de-
feated Gen. Fitzhugh Lee. Ever
since then Senator Martin has had
bitter opposition within the Demo
cratic party when he came up for
reorganization. In 1889 Hoge Tyler
then governor OF Virginia, opposed
him; In 1905 Andrew jackson Mon
tague. then governor. opposed him
In the Democratic primary, and In
1911 Representative William A Jones
was his opponent.
4 without Candidate.
The "anti-organization" faction, In
view of Governor Stuart's announce
ment, has no candidate to put against
senator Martin. Representative Car
ter Glass, the recognized "anti" lead
er WIZ not consider making the con-
test; Representative Jones' health
will not permit him to get into the
fight; Representative Montague has
no idea Of making another try for
Inc Senate; Harry st. George Tucker
practically has eliminated himself
from Virginia politics, and Attorney
General John Garland Pollard Is
Il
The "anti" leaders in washington
made IL clear today that they do not
expect to oppose the Senator'S re-
nomination They say q contest
against aim Is hopeless, as under
the present political conditions the
Senator will serve in the Senate as
long as he 'es.
Hostility Has Abafed.
One reason why the tanti-organiza.
ton" factions are not planning a
fight on the Senator next year ia
thar the bitter factional hostility
felt toward him in some sec
tons OF the State has largely abated,
and Senator Martin today Is person
ally stronger In Virginia than he has
been since he entered public life.
Senator Martin is nov recognized
as one OF the Wilson leaders in the
Senate, and the probabilities are that
he will be chosen the Administration
spokec-'an and majority floor leader
In the Senate In the Sixty-fffth Con-
gress to succeed Senator Kern, of
Indiana, who retires.
-Aany Ga his friends declLre he has
always desired a denomination for
the Senate Without opposition, and
the political prospects in Virginia
are THAI he will realize his wish
next year.

saying or an. unanswerable argument
can be destroyed by an ill-timed
levity or unexpected retort. The other
day a delegation from one of the
many defense or security societies OF
the day charged upon the President
in the White House and told him
plainly that the National Guard Is
disgrace and a failure anl some other
things, and the President told them
that they might have done better had
they said less, or had they modulated
the intemperance Of their speech to
suit the dignity of their subject.

alumni In that region were assembled
to give a proper welcome to the
Man of Destiny. The auditorium was

Then came the governor and the

Immense applause. The governor

PROPER cow FEEDING
Must Be Done as Individuals and
Not as a Herd.
Undertaking ls Perhaps More Com
mon Than Overlooking, Says Kan
sas Expert-Rouphage Should
Form Foundation.

Cows must be fed as individuals and
not as a herd if they are to be fed
economically, asserts o. e. Reed, pro-
fessor of dairy husbandry in the Kan
sas State Agricultural college. The
quantity of milk produced by the COW
is an indication Of the quantity of feed
she must have.
The first use to which the animal
puts it's food, whether producing milk
or not, is to maintain the functions Of
the body. The feed in excess of this
amount is used for producing milk,
storing fat, or for growth of the foetus.
That underfeeding is perhaps more
common than overlooking, is the belief
of Professor Reed. The effect of un-
derfeeding may not be noticed at once,
as the COW will produce milk for time
by converting the surplus flesh of her
body into milk. Hence, if a COW de-
clines in weight while she is producing
milk, it is an indication that she. is not
receiving enough feed. On the other
hand, the overfed COW may put fat on
her body or she may get off feed.
The feeds in ration must be such
as to provide a sufficient bulk to salts
fly the appetite and feeding capacity of
the animal, and to furnish the amount
of nutrients needed by the COW. An
animal may be fed enough nutrients
in the form of grain to perform her
work, but she may receive too little
bulk to be satisfied.
The roughage Should form the foun-
dalton Of the dairy ration. A COW
should have all the roughage she can
clean up, and the grain ration should
be regulated by the amount of milk
produced A COW should be fed one
pound Of grain to each three pounds
of rich milk produced and one pound
of grain to four pounds less rich milk
The three substances which must
be considered in making up the ration
of the dairy COW are protein, car
bohydrates, and fats. These sub
stances are found In all feeds but In
varying proportions.
Cows must be fed intelfigently If
the highest and most economical re-
turns are obtained. One of the prfn-
cipaloreasons for the low average. pro-
duction Of the Kansas cow is that
she is mot properly fed.
Economic feeding resolves itself into
the study and execution Of the lesson
which nature teaches. The COW makes
her greatest production in the early

CHARGED TRACE UP TO PAT

VEGETABLE STORAGE

Outdoor storage cellars or
caves are excellent for the stor-
age of many late vegetables.
Vegetables can be more conven-
iently placed in such cellar
than in the storage room in the
basement of a dwelling.
The proper type and construc-
ton of such cellars vary with
the geographical location. In
the southern portion of the coun-
try the structure is usually en-
tirely above the ground and pro-
tected by only a few inches of
sod and with straw, leaves, etc.
In northern sections, outdoor
cellars are made almost entire
I ly below the ground and covered
with sufficient earth supple
mented by straw, manure, etc.,
to prevent freezing.

HoGGING DOWN CORN FIELDS
Practice Promises to Be More Popular
Than Ever This Fall Because Of
Labor Shortage.

Because of the help shortage the
practice of hogging down corn prom
Uses to be more popular than ever this
fall. To some extent, however, the
amount of corn hOgged down will be
limited by the feed shortage, many
farmers desiring to utilize the stalks
who would ordinarily permit them to
rot down in the field. At any rate the
scarcity of feeds makes it imperative
for every farmer to make the best use
possible of his crops this year. Not
kernel of corn or an ounce of grain
should go to waste when it can be
saved.
Hogging down corn is often ACCOM-
panied by considerable waste, particu-
larly when too large an acreage is al
lowed a drove of hogs. Though the
amount of grain wasted is generally
more than balanced by the saving in
the labor of husking, special care
should be taken to make the wastage
as small as possible. An effective way
to do this is to fence off the field to
be hogged down into lots small enough
that they will be thoroughly cleaned up
in limited time, and by not changing
the hogs to new area until the pre-
vious one is exhausted.

BE CAREFUL OF BROOD MARE
Farmer Should Be Cautious and Avoid
overworking and overheating
of Farm Animals.

Don't make. slave of the brood
mare! This is the suggestion of DR..
c.. w. McCampbell, associate profess
sor of animal husbandry in the Kan
sas State Agricultural college.
Care should be taken to prevent
overworking and overheating. The
farmer should not allow his desire for
immediate gain to overcome his judg-
ment, and sacrifice a good colt crop
next spring to save few bushels of
grain. Hard work is one of the lead
four months of pregnancy.
Three mares can do the work of two
geldings and raise three colts besides
and well-bred draft colt will sell fon
500 at weaving time.

HARROW TO PREVENT BAKING
Dust Mulch Should Be Prepared Soon
as Grain Has Been Cut and
Removed From Fields.

As soon as grain is removed from
the fields they should be narrowed to
make dust mulch to prevent undue
loss Of moisture and to keep the land
from baking or crusting over. If it
bakes, which it will do in hot, dry
weather, it will break up into clods
when plowed and be very hard to put
in good shape for planting. Unless it
Is to be plowed right away, while there
is a good season in the land, it should
be narrowed with a disk harrow, so
that it will break up good, if it gets
dry before all can be plowed.

FoRMALIM USEFUL FOR SMUT
Treatment Is Simple, but Generally
Effeetive-AIIow Grain to Dry
Before Sowing.

The formalin treatment to prevent
smut, concealed smut of wheat, scab
and other diseases of Irish potatoes is
simple, but generally effective.
For wheat or oats pour one ounce of
formalin, which may be had at drug
stores, in three gallons of water. The
seed grain is then dipped in the solu-
ton or the solution may be poured over
the grain. The grain should be left
covered for about two hours.
Never put the grain back In sacks
where grain was before, as-the germs
of the disease are likely to get start.
The grain should be allowed to dry be-
fore it is sown.
