thus attempted to tack on to their
opponents proved to be boomerang
and undoubtedly had something to do
with Blaine's defeat by Cleveland.
When the political star of Wood
row Wilson rose into the ascendancy
the power of the slogan was again
demonstrated. In 1912 the appeal for
ian honest dollar for an honest Presi-
dent" gave every American chance
to make an individual contribution to
campaign funds and gave him an in
dividual interest in politics. In the
close race of 1916 who can say but
that the slogan "He kept us out Of
war; swung the scales in favor of
Woodrow Wilson over Charles Evans
Hughes, even though the next six
months saw us in the war? Although
Wilson was as different from Roose-
welt as two men can well be, like
T. r. he had the gift of apt express
sion which the average American was
quick to appreciate and appropriate.
So ''watchful waiting" make the
world safe for democracy and "open
covenants openly arrived at" became
a part of the current speech.
When a war-weary and disillusioned
world began to take stock of itself
and learned again that there can be
defeat in victory, the Presidential
campaign of 1920 found America al
ready eager to forget war and every
thing connected with war. So Warren
shao fn
slogan was one well-calculated to ap-
peal to the popular fancy after all
the turmoil of the past two years and
anything savoring of calmness and
serenity was looked upon with favor.
So the American voters elected Hard
ing. a calm man, who sat comforting
with the "best minds" on the conduct
of his front porch campaign" Four
years later the same appeal to the de-
sire for calmness, for letting well
enough alone, this time summed up
in the slogan "Keep Cool With Cool
idge," again won an election for the
Republican party.
What will the spirit of the campaign
of 1928 be-one of rest or unrest, sat
isfaction or dissatisfaction, and In the
words of what slogan will that spirit
be expressed? Will the slogan writ
ten by a Maryland woman help put
Democrat in the White House after
eight years of Republican rule, will
the country continue TO keep Cool
with Coolidge" and enjoy Coolidge
Prosperity" or will there be other
standard bearers in both parties for
whom new slogans will have to be
coined? The answer to all of these
questions will be written by History
on the first Tuesday after the first
Monday in November, 1928.

Bullnose or Snuffles
a Serious Pig Disease

"Bullnose" or "snuffles" is q very
common and serious disease affecting
pigs, a filth disease picked up around
mud holes, manure piles and dark,
damp pig houses.
"Any dirty place may harbor the
germs that cause this trouble" de-
clare live stock specialists. Little
pigs often infect one another by fight
ing. Biting each other with their tiny
sharp teeth around the nose and face
leaves wounds that are easily infected
as the pigs root and wallow in the
dirt. This infection may occur inside
of the mouth in the gums or palate.
Shortly after the infection occurs, the
wound may take on an ulcer-like ap.
pearance covered with a thick scab,
or the face may become greatly swell
len with one or more openings dis
charging an offensive pus.
"This swelling causes construction
Of the air passages and causes the pig
to shuttle as it breathes, hence the
name. When the pig has reached this
stage, it is hopeless and it will be
much better to slaughter the pig and
burn it up than to let it run around
with the herd and infect Others"

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
Loose smut of wheat causes an es-
tfmated loss in the United States OF
more than 100000 bushels annually,
according to V. F. Tapke, patholo-
gist of the United States Department
OF Agriculture. 1t is possible, he
says. to control the disease by treat
ing the seed with hot water, but the
treatment Is difficult and frequently
reduces the stand and yield. Efforts
are being made, therefore. to develop
strains of the important varieties that
will be resistant to or immune from
Infection.
Since 1922 many varieties and
strains of wheat have been tested at
Rosslyn, Va. and Ithaca. N. Y, for
resistance to loose smut. All of the
important eastern wheats and few
Of the leading western wheats have
been included in the tests. Resistant
or immune strains have been found
in such varieties as Blackhull, Daw-
son, Fulcaster, Fultz, Hussar, Leap,
PenQuite, Preston, Purplestraw,
Ridit, Shepherd, Silversheaf and Trum.
bull.
Fultz and Fulcaster. two widely
grown varieties, have generally been
reported to be susceptible to loose
smut, but the pure-line selections
used in these experiments proved to
be highly resistant. The occurrence
of resistant and otherwise desirable
strains in these two important varie-
ties gives encouragement to the hope
Of reducing the heavy annual loss
caused by loose smut of wheat.

Rape Pasture Is Useful
for Fattening the Pigs

Some years ago the Alabama expert!
ment station fattened some hogs oD'
rape pasture-Dwarf Essex-plus
mixture of corn and wheat shorts.
The pasture provided one-half the ra-
ton, corn and shorts the other half.
Six 10O-pound pigs were grazed upon
each acre 147 days. During the time
the pigs made an average daily gain
of Z of a pound and required only
IA of an acre of rape and 273 pounds
of grain for 100 pounds of increase in
weight. One acre of rape took the
place of 5S bushels of corn in this par
ticular test. The green leaves of rape
are, therefore, exceedingly valuable
when used as a part of the pigs ra-
ton. These kinds of leaves-and rape
and collards are kinsfolk-provide
succulence, bulk and valuable nutri-
ents to the pig in exactly the same
way that they provide these three
things to the members of the family.

-Four years later the United States
was involved in two disputes, one with
Mexico over Texas and the other with
cratic party which stood for the ere
occupation of the Oregon country and
the remuneration of Texas" went back
into power with the election of James
K. Polk of Tennessee, and by the time
Polk had taken the oath of office the
whole country was repeating the
slogan, "Fifty-four Forty or Fight J"
as the basis of our claims in the Ore
gon country. In the war with Mexico
one of our victorious generals was
Zachary Taylor and from an incident
in the battle of Buena Vista there
came a slogan which helped elect
Taylor President in 1S4S. 1t was the
famous IA little more grape, Captain
Bragg" which struck the popular
fancy. AS a matter of fact what Tay-
lor really said en- that occasion was
the laconic "Give 'em hell" But that
didn't matter especially. The main
thing was that the combination of the
"grape" slogan and his nickname of
"Old Rough and Ready had much the
same appeal as the Harrison combina-
tion in 1910.
Next to good slogan a picturesque
nickname apparently is a powerful
factor in a Presidential election, as
witness "Old Hickory" Jackson, "Old
Tippecanoe'' Harrison and "Old Rough
and Ready" Taylor. Lincoln's military
record was not one which had any
special appeal but the pioneer symbol
ism of the "Rail-Splitter Candidate"
and Honest Abe" no doubt had some
thing to do with his election. After
the Civil war the nation honored an
other military hero when it elected
Unconditional Surrender" Grant and
the Spanish American war produced
the Trough Rider candidate in the
election of 1904 when TEDDY" be-
came President.
The Presidential aspirations of
James G. Blaine were favored by the
"Plumed Knight" and the Rupert Of
Debate" nicknames as well as the
tuneful "Blaine of Maine" These,
however, were more than offset by
.'Nosey Blaine "The Tattooed Man,
and "Jim the Penman" (alluding to the
famous Mulligan Letters) appellations.
But the fatal thrust to his chances
was applied when Rev. r. B. Bur-
chard declared in a speech for Blaine
that all conscientious Americans
should vote the Republican ticket be-
cause the Democrats stood for Rum,
Romanism and Rebellion" Blaine did
not hear him distinctly enough to
repudiate this slur upon the religious
belief of millions of Americans and

Cows Harm Young Trees
if Orchard Not Fenced

If you are live stock farmer and
wish to plant young orchard, be
sure that it is properly fenced away
from the cattle, says a writer in the
Michigan Farmer. Cows like to
browse on young trees, and will soon
tear off all the tender wood on young
apples. They will rub on the trees
and break the limbs. This also lo0s-
ems the roots when the trees are new
~ planted, and often kills the tree.
When the neighbors have live stock
which is allowed the free range of
the roadsides, it increases the danger
to young orchards. Fences are cheap
err than arguments and loss of friend
ship, and it is difficult to estimate the
damage from live stock among young
apple trees, so the financial settle
ment will be satisfactory to all parties
concerned.
Setting out an orchard is an ex-
pense in nursery stock and labor that
is worthy CT protection. Every year
that the land is given over to young
trees increases their value. If the
trees are not protected from the graz
ing of cattle, the land had better 8
used for another purpose, for soone
or later the trees are only dead stul

Passionate LoUe Song
Fatal to Capercailzie

The male capercailzie ends his love
song with such a passionate note that
he is deaf to the world for its duration
of about two minutes and hunters Of
this bird take advantage of the fact.
In their quest of this largest variety
Of grouse found wild in wooded sec
lions of Europe and Asia, the hunters
operate only in the breeding season,
for "the deaf one," the bird is called
in Russia, normally has acute hearing.
When the song is first heard the hunt
err advances as quickly and as close
as he can before the love-call ends,
then waits until the next period of
song and deafness. 1t is said that the
capercailzie can hear the swapping of
twig half mile away when he is
not singing and it sometimes takes a
hunter hours to get close enough to
shoot.

Hogging Down Corn Is
Successful in Dakota

Ohio, Kansas. Nebraska and Mis-
souri, experiment stations have been
successful with hogging down corn
and recommend it. but find that hogs
do not make profitable gains on corn
alone. They must have protein feed
like alfalfa or clover pasture. soy
beans or rape in the corn. or be fed
tankage or milk to balance up the
corn.
Rape seeded in corn and hogged
down at the South Dakota experiment
station increased the daily gains of
the pigs over 20 per cent. The pigs on
corn alone made a daily gain of LOG
pounds while those getting corn and
rape made daily gain of 1.2S pounds.
They find that if tankage is high in
cost. cheaper gains may he made with
out it. hut a longer feeding period is
required.
