Corn is altogether too heating for summer work. —Don’'t forget to arrange for the sweet corn, pumpkin patch and second growth meadow to help out the usual short pas- tures of late summer. —Breed gives an animal its natural flesh, feed gives it the fat. You can't feed on fl where the ancestors did not pass it on by inheritance. —Hogs are affected by extremes of heat cold, and the character of their shelter should therefore depend upon the climate as well as the loyalty. —Some butter makers are fighting the farm separators. The trouble is not with the separator, but with the man who abuses it. Better get after the man. —A good, tried brood mare is splendid property just now, and a farmer ought to think a long time before letting one go for they are hard to replace at any price. —No swine er should be without good pasture during the entire growing season. An al of suitable pas- ture will cheapen the cost of producing pork. —Cattle are just about right to start to fatten when the local butcher thinks they are good enough to kill. There is a vast dill srence between butcher cattle and fat cattle. —All inferior lambs and aged ewes or poor breeders should be separated to another pasture and given a grain ration in order to fit them for the block as early as possible. —Many of the creameries that were built a few years ago without the patron- age of at least 400 cows, are now goi on the rocks. We can only say we tol you so, but this is poor consolation. —Keep the bull in good condition. He will appreciate and render good value for a feed of oats each day. If he is starved or allowed to run down too much in flesh, there will be a shortage in the next calf crop. Don’t keep him in the barn with- out being exercised. And don't feed very much corn tc a breeding bull. Oats, bran, roots, clover hay and such feeds are all right for him. In other words, feed the bull the same ration you would feed a dairy cow if you want to keep him in the best possible condition. y speaking doctoring sick er ashe OI time 8 far as get m well goes, though every poultry keeper does more or less of it for experimental purposes, and to enable him to keep his flock in order.

There were many | Scattering votes on the roll call that en- su The revolt of many Roosevelt dele- gates in the convention was apparent from the moment the permanent roll con- taining the names of contested delegates was approved. A “valedictory” state- ment was read in behalf of Colonel Roosevelt, asking that his name be not presented, and that his delegates sit in mute protest against all further proceed- ings. At no time was there an indica- tion of a walkout of Roosevelt delegates. They expressed their revolt by silence. ONLY WAITED COLONEL'S CALL. A great majority of the Roosevelt dele- gates in the Illinois and all in the Mis- souri and Idaho delegations, declined to follow this advice, but Colonel Roosevelt's sway over the Jelegations from Califor- nia, Kansas, Maine, Minnesota, New Jer- sey, Pennsylvania, South Dakota and West Virginia was all but absolute. Most of the delegates from these States announced their purpose of helping to give Mr. Roosevelt on independent nomi- nation at another hall. The split in the convention occasioner no It was but a fulfillment of predictions that had been made during the several days. closing scenes of the convention were marked by counter-demonstrations Jor President Taft and Colonel Roose- The first test vote after the announce- ment of the Roosevelt valedictory came on the adoption of the party platform. Immediately after the adjournment of the ar convention all of the Roose- velt egates adjourned to Orchestra hall, in another part of the city. There they listened to a mad and impassioned h from Colonel Roosevelt who told em that he would be the head of a new party if they wanted him to, but that they should go home, sound public senti- ment and prepare to nd to a call for another convention later when he youl accept their nomination for Presi- ent. —If a horse shows indications of being a cribber, look at his teeth; he may be biting and chewing only because his teeth are crowded and need spreading or re- moval. A tight neck strap helps to pre- vent cribbing; also a metal-lined manger. —The wooden milk pail is an incubator of filth and bad flavors. Dog's Suicide. French veterinary surgeons are say- ing that Lepreux’'s dog deliberately committed suicide, “Dyck,” as his name ig spelled, had been as attached to his master as his master was to him, and he whined by day and night, refusing every atom of food. The dog was taken out one day, but he was hardly in the street when he ran in. front of a tramcar. The driver was able to stop in time, and “Dyck” es- caped without a scratch. But as soon as the vehicle moved on he repeated the performance and was crushed. Veterinary surgeons who have hos- pitals for animals consider this no novel case, and quote many cases of dogs’ suicide. Parisian Advertising Scheme. The latest novelty to attract the public of Paris is a young woman who the other day in an attractive look- ing smartly cut tailor-made costume, patent eather shoes and a large fash- fonable hat, appeared on one of the principal boulevards smoking a cig- arette. In her hand she carried a riding whip. A large crowd gathered as she continued her walk alcng the boulevard until she reached a shop, in which she disappeared. Emerging a moment after she announced to the crowd in a clear voice that admittance was free. Mayor Unable to See Joke. Great excitement was caused at Mulhausen, in Alsace, recently, by the appearance in the streets of a French poodle, painted red, white, and blue, to represent the Tricolor. When the German police endeavored to arrest this seditious animal, it took refuge in the house of the mayor, to whom it belonged. The perpetrators of the, practical joke remained discreetly in the background. Vice President Nominated Without Oppo- | a Majority.

He was immediately arrested. His Money's Worth. An up-state assemblyman went to a local hotel of unpretentious character a short time ago and said he wished to rent a room for 75 cents, if possible, and if not, for $1. The clerk told him there were no 76-¢ent rooms and that it was only on rare occasions that they let anything for less than $1.50. It was finally agreed that the man should get a dollar room, and a bell- boy started him off toward the roof. Early the next morning the legislator came down to the desk in a state of great excitement. “Say,” said he to the clerk, “what kind of a place is this, anyhow? Why, in the middle of the night two great big rats got out on the floor right in the middle of my room and had a fight.”"—New York Herald. Slow Pay, But Sure, Another proof that Uncle Sam is honest and will pay his debts as soon as he can is on exhibition at the office of Jullus Schmah, secretary of state of Minnesota. It is a check for $1.77, which was received last week by Charles A. Rose, document clerk, at Chicago. Uncle Sam has been owing Mr. Rose this money ever since 1863 and has at last got enough ahead to pay the debt. In 1863 Mr. Rose was transferred from one company of vol- unteers to another and at the time of his transfer there was due him $1.77. The amount was never paid and Mr. Rose had even forgotten that he had it coming until the check arrived. Savagery in Spain. A survival of the days of witchcraft was discovered, not long since, in the Spanish seaport town of Barcelona, In the person of a woman who had been arrested for abducting two children. The children have been recovered, but the police assert that the woman has destroyed at least three other infants, a sackful of bones having been dis- ed that the woman first killed the chil. dren and then boiled their remains with other ingredients in a large caul- dron in order to make love potions, which she sold at fabulous prices. Church Inspired Masterpiece. As Edward Gibbon, an Englishman, was visiting in Romve in the Eight. eenth century he was sitting one eve- ning in a church that had once been an ancient temple. Some barefooted friars were singing vespers. Sudden- ly, as he sat there thinking, there flashed through his mind the idea of telling the story of how the tremen- dous temples and palaces of Rome fell into decay. The result was “The De- cline and Fall of the Roman Empire,” a masterpiece of history. Japanese Couple Elope. An elopement which caused some excitement in San Jose, Cal., not long since, was that of a charming Japan- ese girl, who, as a child, was brought from her native land by a wealthy resident of San Jose and edcated at Bryn Mawr. Owing to the fact that her guardian left no will the young ‘lady was left penniless upon his de- ‘cease a few years ago. The man with whom she eloped is a prominent fel- Jow-countryman of her own, with busi- ness interests in San Francisco. How He Gets His Living. A good story regarding one of Bos ton’s judges comes by way of a fisher- mean lawyer. He was up in one of the camps far into the Maine woods and got into conversation with a native. The latter, in talking of Boston, asked the visitor if he knew there a lawyer named Plerce—"Ned” Pierce. “I'm not sure of a lawyer by that name. But there is a judge of the superior bench.” “Waal,” said the Maine man, “I b'leeve I have heard he got his livin’ by judgin’.” Maivina's Pleasures, “Look-a-here, Malvina!” cried the old man, shaking a horny finger at the bills the rural free-delivery car- rier had left, “mustard plasters from Joslin's, 50c; six teeth pulled at Dr. Dr. Pollard’s $3!
