WASHINGTON, Feb. 22.—Orders from
the Democratic leaders to speed u

of that plan by the. Republicans be
$+ tokens tO observers anxiety in bout
the old parties to get an early start in |
the campaign for the Congressionil |
.election. Both realize they have a |
hard fight before them and both are
anxious to get down to business.
Apparently the Democrats fear that
something is going to crack and they
grow nervous a apprehensive daily
At first appropriating several Pro-
gressive plans, they recently have
tempered them sO with old-fashioned
«conservitism’’ that they are neicher
fish nor flesh nor good red herring,
and they wish to adjourn before they
get hopelessly tangled. As a matter
of fact, they have grown lukewarm in
their interest for the people and are
trimming to gain the favor of the in-
terests and to carry water on both
shoulders. This they know will not
strengthen them in the campaign and
they want to get away from Washing-
ton before the burden grows too great
for their candidates to carry.
For their part, the Republicans are
anxious to colject their scattered
forces and to make the best show
they can against the Democrats and
_ _. the Progressives. Despite their ad-
“ounces and their ¢harmony’’ ban-
‘quets ahd speeches, they realize they
have made no inroads on the Progres-
sive ranks, but rather ‘have suffered
defection, with coincident gait to the
Progressives.
re-election must hurry home to ascer-
tain the trend of local conditions, on
which they will base their fights in
every district, ignoring national issues |
entirely and hoping to magnify pic.
ynne points into. the proportions o:
actual features. They know tLe)
have a heap of explaining to do and
that it will take a long ‘time to do it.
Also, the Progressives scent the
fight from afar. and they go into the
fray without fear, but with the fall
joy of battle. Of all the three na-
tional parties, they alone can show a
clean slate in Congress in the speeial
and regujar sessions, and they will |
take this record onto the stump to re-
inforce the exposition of Progressive
principles. 4
As the Progressives figure it, their
task will be lightened through the
fact that they are recognized as a
* powerful national party and they will

“time to convincing the people to that
effect. They will have candidates for

But as it creeps in we find it becom-

a church, or even to compass the sal-

mated by a selfish, covetous motive,
see I Cor. 6:10, 11; 6:10, and Eph.

"FEW CAUSES FOR INFECTIONS
Estimated That 85 Per Cent. of All
1 osses From Hog Diseases Arises
From Dreaded Cholera.
One cause of infection in hogs is im.
proper feeding, which includes unbal-
anced raticns, overfeeding, underfeed-
soured slops, ete), insanitary feed
troughs and impure drinking water.
Also may be mentioned insufficient
housing, especially during the heat
of summer and the eold of winter,
dampness, insanitary condition of the
pens Or houses, overcrowding of
sleeping quarters, etc.
It has been estimated that 85 per
cent. of all {losses from hog diseases
arise from choleta. The need of all
precautions against infection and
spread is therefore apparent. It is
within the power of all hog raisers
to guard against the contributory
cause enumerated above; and the
simple statement of the causes also
points the way for prevention.

in our State is as great as some
persons would have us believe, it is
to be deplored. If persons owuing

write to the Secretary of Agriculture
for blanks upon which to report the
same to him they will pertorm a

if there are any really abandoned

of that kind. It should be remember-
ed that the lower the land the more
water collects there, and the more
thrifty the trees grow if the roots are

also be remembered that vigorous
growthdoesnot mean fruit production.
In many cases it is better to have
slower growth and a more regular

be obtained on low land where ficsts
are liable to kill the fruit crops
occasionally. As a rule loose or well
drained land is best and it should be
deep soil without a subsoil of hardpan
or clay that holds water. Limestone
land is all right for apple and pear,
but I much prefer shale soil, or some
other loose soil for peach.
Granite land is all right for apple
and peach if it is well drained. I
must confess I do not like the idea of
a clay subsoil, because this sounds

the drainage, but if this is good you
are all right. A stream through the
land is no detriment if the ground is
not too low. If it is a slow running

land where there will be late frosts
and unsatisfactory results from the
