Every member of con- gress has had a little greater liberty to add to the appropriations for his own advantage or the advant- age of his constituents than he had before when the hand of Cannon held him in.

Two wide and opposite voices vote “aye” for Taft; Maine on the Atlantic and Alaska on the Pacific. There is a dramatic touch in these events on the same day.

Roosevelt ~jolts the New York opponents of the direct nominations; and the public is satisfied that he is fit as a fiddle. “Come Reddie,” said the freckled barefoot. “Let's go in swimmin’ T’ve been in three times this morning and it's fine.” Hot weather is the small boy’s heaven. Don’t denounce it, Making allowance for the condi- tions which bring a backward swing of the pendulum in all off years, the republicans are reasonably cer- tain to retain control of congress in Novembpr by a safe margin. A CHEERFUL VIEW. There is other hot weather advice than “rest” and “keep quiet” recipe. Did you ever hear of a boy, active as a cricket, damaged by the sun? Do people romping at picnics or sweating in fishing boats impair their health? Does the furious labors of a baseball player, a pres- piring, dripping rag of dust, end the season a weakling? Summer is a tonic: sun beating on bare skin fills the nerves with new life-zest. Go on long walks, tramp the woods, work in the garden. Free, open sun-cured air is medicine. It is only the close' house, the choked street, the dead gasping alleys that kill folks, Man was born for “torrid climes. He is naked in nature and an exotic among the snows. Breathe fresh air and the heat wont harm you. WHY APPROPRIATION ARE HIGH. Notwithstanding the = efforts of President Taft to make this an econ- omical congress, it is believed that its appropriations are considerably "more_than $1,055,000,000, and that this session’s appropriations will exceed those of the last seasion by more. than -$10,000,000, ‘says the It reminds: people of what they may have forgotten, to be told that this isto a_ large degree due to the fact that Speaker Cannon’s restraining hand has been removed from the brake. He was a tyrant, buta tyrant may do good. Cannon’s = repressive machine did much good in pre- venting extravagance. Release from: beaus are off on vacations. MRS. A. ). DREXEL, JR.

Expulsion of Jews Continues. Kiev, July 6.—Expulsions of Jews from Kiev, Solmoneka and Demieffka continue with regularity. Solmoneka and Demieffka are suburbs where, ow- ing to the decree of expulsion, many Jews took refuge.. Thercupon rents increased enormously and the ortho- dox residents petitioned the governor to intervene. As a consequence orders Wwere issued looking to the expulsion of the newcomers from these places. HANDICAPPED This is the Case with ‘Many Beidji People. Too many Bemidji citizens are handicapped with a bad back. The unceasing pain . causes constant misery, making work a'_burden and staoping or lifting an impossibility. ‘The back aches. at night, preventing refreshing rest and in the morning ig'stiff and lame. Plasters and lini- ments may give relief but cannot reach the cause. To eliminate the aches you must cure the kidneys. Doan’s Kidney Pills cure sick kidneys and cure them permanently. Can you doubt Bemidji evidence? Mrs. E. E. Hanks, 223 Park Ave,, Bemidji, Minn.,, says: “I used Doan’s Kidney Pills and the, relief I received - from their use was very great. There was a dull pain in the-small of my back which' caused me much suffering; .

LETTERS T0 PRESIDENT Correspondents Writing: to Chief Ex- ecutive to Make an Alliance With Ex-President and Thus Include Everything Within the Republican Corral, as Roosevelt Appears to Hold Insurgents in Hollow. of Hand. Chicago, July 5—A special to the Record-Herald from Beverly, Mass,, says: “Two mnew subdivisions- of politics have grown out of the Taft-Roosevelt conference. 'their views are coming to the Burgess Point cottage by mail several times a day. One is that the administrztion. of President Taft needs no endorsement from, Colonel Roose- velt or any other man. The other is | that there is under way the strongest combination of forces ever known in national politics. “Between the most radical of the progressives, who would have Colonel Roosevelt strike the rock with his rod that the water may gush out, and the -disappointed among the ‘regular’ Republicans there are those who sze & composite of the two in politics. They would not for the world part with-Mr. Taft's conservatism and his ability to sit steady in the boat, yet they appreciate the desirability of add- ing to the administration force such adherents of his predecessor as he has not yet inherited. “These men are writing to President Taft that he can make an alliance with Colonel Roosevelt for political purposes that will include everything: within the Republican corral. Their counsel is to let the colonel have the ‘progressives,’ since with him they ap- pear, according to Oyster Bay dis- patches, to be supremely happy. Be- ing able to control the conservative wing himself and having the support of Colonel Roosevelt, who appears to hold ‘Insurgency’ in the hollow ot his hand, it occurs to these correspond- ents that the combination wouid leave nothing to be desired.” TAFT WITHDRAWS - IMMENSE AREA Takes First Step in His Own Canservation Policy. Beverly, Mass., July 5.—President Taft took tue first step in his own conservation pollcy by signing orders of withdrawal covering 8,495,731 acres of power site, phosphate and petrol- eum lands. He also appginted the five engineer officers of the army who are to constitute a board which will pass upon . the reclamation projects to be R O Castrating Calves Simple Operation. * LS = ———— 2} : Dr. C..C.

It may. he done at any season.of the year, providing: two ‘mportant points are observed, name- 1y, cleanliness:and absence of:files. Young calves should be lain.on. their side on a bed of clean straw. The hind leg on the side uppermost should be drawn well forward and held by an \ssistant, or the:shin-bone of this- leg and the corresponding front leg may be crossed- and tied with a soft repe or a strap, The- assistant-them holds its head and rests his knee on its shoulder. The scrotum and surrounding skin are-well wetted. with carbolic - acid, using two tablespoonfuls to each pint of water. The knife should be.sharp and boiled for fifteen minutes, or pre- viously soaked for-two-hours in water, each pint of which contains two table- spoonfuls. of carholic acid. The. tes: ticles are forced to tne. lower emnd.of the scrotum, and with- a single sweep of the knife, the skin and underlying membranes are divided. The cut should be parallel to the middle line on the scrotum, and long enough to permit the testicle being forced out easily. It is then grasped with the left hend-and drawn well down out of the scrotum, and .its rear attachment. cut with the. knife. The thumb and index finger of the left hand then hold the uncut part of the cord firmly, and at the same time press. it toward the calf’s body. The right hand grasps the cord immediately above the testi- cle and below the left hand, and. with gentle pulling and. twisting it around seyeral times, the cord i8 severed and the testicle s set free. Another meth- od which. the writer prefers, is to sev- er the cord with a small instrument known as an emasculator. The use of this instrument lessens the danger from bleeding very .materially, After both organs are removed, the scrotum is to be disinfected again with car- bolic acid disinfectant. During the operation, the instruments should.not be laid on the stable floor, but should be placed In a pan of clean carbolic acid solution, one tablespoenful to each pint of water, In midsummer calves ‘should be kept in the stable a few days, away from the flies. Hot suns and chilling rains should be pro. tected against by. suitable shelter for several days. + + - * * * * * * * » 3 Lt R R R R R R R R * 5 ¥ * Method for Eradi- + * i . * cating Cot Worms. * & D) * F.

Where this is to be done,the foliage should be mowed a8 soon:as the fruit is picked, usually early inlJuly. A scythe, or if the beds are quite large, an ordinary grass mower, will do the work if run quite close over the beds. This material should be either raked.or burned off the plants. In a small bed it is safer to rake and burn at the side of the bed than to attempt burning over the patch. "If the field is to be burned, the grass must be thoroughly dry, so that a!fire will pass over it very quick- ly. Itlit is wet and the fire does not burn rapidly, the plants are often se- rlously injured. Thigs method helps to keep!in check insects and some of the diseases: attacking strawberries. As soon as the beds are cleaned, the old plants’ should be thinned out to about six‘inches apart, leaving the rows not over a foot ‘wide. Thorough cultivation should be given them the rest of the'season. If the land is mot very rich,‘it is a good plan to open a trench along the rows several inches deep, and filliit with thoreughly rotted manure, covering this with sofl again. . One of the easiest ways to remove the old plants is to plow a furrow on either side of the row, leaving a row about twelve inches wide. Then thin any old or diseased plants from this row, leaving young, vigorous plants about six inches apart. The soil may be cultivated back in- to the row, and any weeds or plants between the rows should be thorough- ly worked out. Thorough cultivation and. care should be given the plants from now on, the same as should be given new plants set in the spring. If this is done very often, the second crop will be as good as the first. b dh b bbb dedbded * * s +* In setting hens, or im imcu- * bating artificially, the Minne- < sota Experiment Station has * _found ‘best results by selecting < eggs of a uniform size, with «+ smooth shell and as perfectely * formed as possible. ¢ Io ofe oo ofe ofe ofe oo o R - L R R R R den. A tablespoonful of this ‘should be put at ‘frequent intervals among the plants subject.to attack, not, hew- ever, nearer than twelve inches to the plant, for, in case.of rain, the Paris green might be washed against the roots and would injure or kill the plant. Thorough cultivation is an aid; pleces of shingle.or board placed at intervals over the garden serve as traps under which the cut worms hide toward morning and can be found and killed. Frequently the depredator will be found within an inch or 8o of the Plant cut, buried an inch under the soil. Young plants, like cabbage, cauliflower, etc., when first set-out in & small garden, should be protected by paper, or tin, of a barrler of seme sort, which should extend into the ground,an inch.or so and two.or three inches above . the surfage, This can be removed when the plant becomes various. quarters.
