CROWN OF THoRNs

nOUBTS of the identity of the
- leading presidential candidates,
so thoroughly dispelled early in
1896, sometimes have held on to the
midst of the conventions.
So it was that the Democratic
gathering of 1896 provided ire
mendous upset, giving the party
William Jennings Bryan, leader
who literally was to wear "crown
of thorns" through three unsuc-
cessful campaigns.
No less than 10 candidates for
the Democratic nomination were
regarded seriously in 1896 and
the usual stableful of dark horses
was present.
''Pitchfork 6en'' Tillman of
South Carolina, whose hat was def
initely in the ring, prodded the del
egates UNI .ercifully and the wordy
battles from the platform spread
to one fist fight after another on the
floor. Then Bryan was recognized.
"We are fighting in defense of
our homes, our families, and pos
terity," he detained. eve have
petitioned and our petitions have
been scorned. We have entreated
and our entreatics have been dis
regarded. We have begged and
they have Knocked us when our
calamity came. We beg no more.
we entreat no longer, we petition
no more-we defy them!"
His remarks were on the finan-
cial plank of the Democratic plat
form and Bryan fired them directly
at the delegation from New York.
Then he closed with the defiance
which still rings down the corri-
doris of time: "You shall not press
down upon the brow of labor this
crown of thorns, you shall not cru
city mankind upon cross of gold. !"
He stopped the show" The
delegates went wild. When the
business of the convention could be
resumed the day following, Bryan
was nominated.
His defeat by Mckinley, two sue
ceeding failures for the presiden-
cy, in truth settled a crown Of
thorns upon the brow of Bryan
which he was doomed to wear IN
til the last public act of his life
participation in the famous "mon-
key" trial down in Dayton, Tennes-
see. He held, and he swayed, null
titudes with the power of his ora
tory, but on election day he could
not mark their ballots for them.

Drouth Silage Problem
Faced by Manv Farmers

What is the feeding value of fod-
der or silage made from drouth-
damaged corn? How much feed
will such corn yield per acre?
The yield of feed per acre de-
ponds so much upon the amount
of growth attained before cutting
that it is impossible to generalize
on the probable production in any
one case. Tests at the Indiana sta
ton, however, indicate that corn
cut just after it has completed the
pollination stage will produce about
one-half as much dry matter per
acre as when it is cut at the hard
kernel stage - the point m s
favored for normal silo filling. In
the Indiana experiment, corn cut
at four feet in height produced less
than one-tenth as much dry matter
per acre as when it was permitted
to stand until the hard kernel stage.
AS for differences in fe d in g
value, the limited information
available indicates that fodder or
silage made from drouth damaged
corn will probably run little high
er in protein, pound for pound, than
ordinary fodder or silage. On the
other hand, it runs lower in sugar
and starch and does not keep as
well. Thus, drouth damaged corn
may not make silage of as high
quality as normal corn, but it will
be good feed, nevertheless. ~ Wal
laceS' Farmer.

THE FIRST PLATFORM

nNE of the essentials of mod
~ ern political convention is the
adoption of platform" upon
which the Presidential nominee is
to "take his stand during the
campaign. Whether or not he
STAYS on it is quite another mat
ter but few candidates would think
of going before the ''peepul" with
out one.
The first platform appeared dur
ing the campaign Of 1910. In that
year the Democrats, holding their
convention in Baltimore, set forth
what they considered the funda-
mental principles o. their party.
Asserting that the federal govern
ment was one of strictly limited
powers and that all grants not ex-
pressly made to it were reserved
to the states, this platform
Declared against the assumption
of state debts, contracted for To-
cal improvements, by the federal
government.
Denied the power of the federal
government to foster one industry,
or section, to the detriment of an
other.
Asserted that the federal govern
ment exceeded it's authority when
it raised more revenue than was
required to defray the ordinary ex-
penses of administration.
Denied the power of congress to
interfere with or control the insti-
tuition of slavery.
Declared against the handling
of public funds by private banks.
Denounced restrictions upon the
privileges of citizenship and OF
ownership of land with respect to
foreign immigrants.
They then unanimously renomi-
mated Martin Van Buren, for the
presidency and got ready to fight
the battle of ballots along the lines
of policy they had laid down. But
if they expected their opponents
to meet them on that ground they
were grievously disappointed. The
Wings not only failed to adopt a
platform but they failed to put
forth any statement of principles
for the very good reason that they
didn't have any. They disregard
ed issues entirely and launched
their whirlwind "Tippecanoe and
Tyler, Tool" campaign.
The bewildered Democrats stood
firm on their platform and watched

Rye for Live Stock

Rye, sometimes used for live
stock, is not very satisfactory
feeding material. If limited to 20
per cent of the ration in dry lot
feeding of hogs, however, rye may
be 80 per cent as valuable as corn,
pound for pound, says a writer in
Wallaces' Farmer. When ground or
cracked, it also compares fairly
well with corn as feed for beef
cattle. Rye is liked least by horses
and best by sheep. In the case of
horses it should be coarsely ground
or crushed and fed only as part of
the ration. Sheep, on the other
hand, will handle unground rye as
well as the same amount of barley.
Rye used as live stock feed should
contain very little, if any, ergot.
The presence of ergot is indicated
by purplish, abnormal kernels. In
particular, ergoty kernels should be
kept away from pregnant animals.

Save Grass Seed,
Experts Advice
Red Glover, Alfalfa, Will Be
in Great Demand, Grow
ers Are Told.

Supplied by the United States Department Of
Agriculture. Service.
Pointing to the prospect Of re-
duced supplies of grass seed this
season, DR.. A. G.. Black, chief OF
the bureau of agricultural econom-
les, recommends that farmers
make every effort to save all pos
sible red clover and alfalfa seed.
Farmers in. many of the princi-
pal seed-producing regions will har.
vest a little less than half as much
grass seed this year as last, he
said. The timothy seed crop is less
than one-third as large as last
years crop of 1913, 223, 900 pounds,
while redtop appears to be around
40 per cent of last years produc-
ton of 9,750,000 pounds.
There is a relatively large carry
over of timothy and redtop, fair
sized carry-over of blue grass seed,
and much above normal stocks of
sudan grass seed.
DR.. Black said that the situation
as to legune seeds is not definitely
known because most of the clover
seeds are harvested later than the
grasses, but present conditions are
unfavorable. The crimson clover
seed crop of approximately 1,000,-
600 pounds, is about one third
smaller this year than last. White
clover is substantially larger crop
than last season, although the 1895
crop of 100000 pounds was much
below normal. The carry-over OF
clover seed is unusually small.
The harvest of the red clover and
alfalfa crops, two groups of seeds
that will be needed most next
spring, will not be completed until
later. There is, therefore, still time
for growers of these legumes to
make special effort to save the
seed where they are not forced to
cut the crops for hay, DR.. Black
said.

Early Due1S

During the last century in many
countries, man who killed another
in duel was tried for murder and
there were several executions.
Among the early Germans the con-
trary practice prevailed. If the
man vanquished in duel survived
his wounds, he was hanged! AS
early as SOL, the German King Gun
debald decreed the duel as proper
method of settling disputes, and
when a bishop demonstrated, he
pointed out that the duel had its
religious connotations because God
would be on the side of the right
in the contest.
