Shorn by the Mob. A procession of the unemployed,| that took place in London in 1764 did not meet with any great success or public sympathy. In that year wigs went out of fashion, and the wigmak- ers of London were thrown out of work and reduced to distress. They petitioned George III. to compel gen- tlemen to wear wigs by law. As the’ wigmakers went in procession to St. James’ to present their petition it was noticed that most of those persons who wanted to compel other people to wear wigs wore no wigs themselves. This striking the London mob as very inconsistent, they seized the proces- sionists and forcibly cut off all ‘their hair.—London Express.

PRONPT ACTION WANTED | | Decision Made Following a Conference Between President Taft and Promi-| nent Members of the House—Feared | Discussion of Subject Might Affect| Ratification of Reciprocity Pact. ‘Washington, Feb. 18.—To offset the Canadian annexation talk which the administration feared might effect the reciprocity agreement, the house com- mittee on foreign affairs, by a vote of 9 to 1, reported adversely on the reso- lution introduced by Representative William S Bennett of New York for the opening of negotiations with Great Britain looking to the annexation of Canada. Mr. Bennett was the only member of the committee who voted for the reso- lution and the committee’s action fol- lowed conferences of Chairman Fos. ter of the. committee and Acting Chairman McCall of the ways and Chairman Tawney of the appropria- tions committee suggested to Chair- man Foster of the foreign affairs com- mittee that the committee be called to- gether and hear Secretary of State Knox with a view to meeting the an- nexation talk. The meeting was called, but it was deemed unnecessary for Mr. Knox to appear. ’ BRITISH VIEW OF SITUATION London Paper Says All Americans Want to Annex Canada. London, Feb. 18.—“We need not suppose that Speaker Elect Clark and Representative William S. Bennett have unfriendly sentiments toward England, or propose to accomplish their designs illegitimately. “But they were not joking when they expressed annexation sentiments in the American congress. They were only saying publicly what thousands of Americans have already been say- ing privately.” This is the way the Conservative Evening Stdndard sized up the latest development in the reciprocity situa- tion. It is a fair sample of the atti- tude of the Conservative press. EDITORS ELECT OFFICERS Lieutenant Governor Gordon Head of Minnesota Scribes.

A story is told of the Moorish prince Abul Hejex, who was thrown into prison for sedition by his brother Mo- hammed, king of Granada. There he remained for several years until the king, fearing he might escape, placed himself st the head of a fresh revolt and seized the crown, ordering one of his pashas to see to his immediate ex- ecution. chess when the pasha came and bade him prepare for death. The prince asked for two hours’ respite, which was refused. After earnest entreaty he obtained permission to finish his game. He was in no hurry about the moves, we are told, and well for him he was not, for before an hour had elapsed a messenger brought the news that Mohammed had been struck dead by apoplexy, and Abul was forthwith proclaimed king of Granada. It was Indeed a small favor for the pasha to grant, but it altered the whole current of the king’s career. Elephant Humor. The courage of a lion at bay, great as it is, is no greater than that of the buffalo, and he must yleld his scepter to the elephant, declares H. L. Tangye in his book, “In the Torrid Sudan,” as to courage, size, strength and intelli- gence. It is a temptation to declare that the elephant possesses a sense of humor. A herd of elephants once fell in with a train of donkeys. Their attention concentrated on the load the donkeys carried. With all the mischief of monkeys, the loads were torn asunder and their contents distributed over half the province. At Bor, on the Mountain Nile, the elephants were at one_time full of practical jokes.. Passing at night time through the vil- lage, they would knock the sleepers up by demolishing their huts above their heads, then contentedly march Abul Hejex was playing at | CHAMPION COW ,AT -GRAND "‘RAPIDS (MINN.) EXPERIMENTSFARM. :+-¥<+‘+++-}:++++fl-+‘++i + Profit From Good : * Care and Feeding. - [ By J. A. McGuire, Superintend- % ent’ Northeast Experiment Farm, Grand Rapids, Mirn. R R R K R R R R X Roxy, the-cow whose picture accom- .panies this article, is one of'a herd of | thirteen so-called “common cows” at| the Northeast Experiment Station, Grand Rapids, Minn.—a herd whose record affords a striking illustration of the fact that few Minnesota farmers | ‘are realizing from their cows the an- | nual profit which might be theirs. For | the average amount of butter from | each cow, in Minnesota, is only 160 | Ibs., while the average from this Ex- periment Station herd is 279 Ibs. Here is a difference of 119 ibs. per cow, equal, at 27 cents a pound, to $32.13 annually. To the farmer with only twelve cows the difference would ag- gregate $385.53. | Please take note that this difference | has not been secured because ‘of su- perior breed- or because, in gross amount, the feed given the thirteen cows was greater than the ordinary farmer gives his herd. It has come | altogether from good care and correct rather than lavish feeding. The cows freshened in the fall and were milked ten months of the year. During Octo- ber and Ncvember they were fed on fodder corn, stock carrots and ‘bran and shorts half and half.” From Dec. 1, corn ensilage was fed in place of roots. They were stall-fed from Oct. 5 to May 5 During the summer they were pastured on cut-over and. brush land by day, and in a small tame grass pasture at night. When the flies were bad, the cows were always put in the barn at noon. In winter the temperature of the barn went betow the freezing point. The cows were turned out. of doors only in fair ‘weather, and kept out only so long as they cared to remain. They were fed twice a day and watered once a day. The feed for each animal was weighed; also the milk she produced. Each cow was fed, in grain, two-fifths the num- ber of pounds that she gave in milk. The feeding and milking were done at the same time every day. What is| there, in all this, impossible to any farmer? Roxy, the most profitable cow in the bunch, cost only $40. She probably has some Jersey blood, and possibly some Holstein. The fact that she is black, with white markings, shows that the Jersey strain is ,not pre- dominant: but she has a buff nose and a Jersey type of head. Her av- erage production, for three years, was 377 pounds of butter per year. - Rotate-==But -Mamure Also Every Farmer Should Keep Enough Live Stock to Produce Suffi- cient Fertilizer. Excellent as are the results which follow the adoptidn of a good system of rotation of crops, as ccmpared with the single-cropping system, rotation alone cannot be depended on to keep the soil in a high state of fertility. To do this on an ordinary farm of 160 acres, sufficient live stcck must be kept to permit the application of ma- nure, at the rate of say eight tons per acre, at least vnce in five yéars. The . production of such a quantity of ma- nure would require at least forty cows. Since labor difficulties make it imprac- ticable for most farmers to properly care for so many cows, Professor A. D. Wilscn suggests, in a recent ad- dress, that the owner of such a farm keep only twelve good milch cows, and the equivalent of the remaining twenty-eight in horses, calves- and colts raised for marketing, brood-sows XX X This would permit the thorough ma- nuring, every year, of say one-fifth of the tillable land on the farm in con- nection with the corn planted in a five-year rotation. A course of pro- cedure like this, at University Farm, has brought. an increase of 6.10 bush- els of wheat, 13.6 bushels of corn, and 9 tons of hay per acrs over ‘the re- sults secured by a system of rotation without manuring. oo oo oo oo ol oo ol ol ole ol e oo o oo obe e e o * < The poor cow is dear at any < < price, but the good cow is, us- < ++ ually not rated at her real | o+ value. &+ < ol B e e s i ot i e ot Pitt and_the Peerage.

Lol L R R R The highest object of breeding is to secure animals whose usefulness is greater than that of their ancestors. By “community breeding” we mean simply the getting together of farm- ers, deciding upon somé breed to raise, then buying and using bulls in part- nership, i Such breeding is neither an experi- ment nor an impracticable idea, but it o e ok ok is a plan which has been fully worked | out not only in foreign countries, but | also in the United States. The Guern- sey and Jersey Isles afford good exam- ples. Each of these isles is about the! size of one of our townships, but nev- ertheless each sells hundreds of thou- sands of dollars worth of cattle an- nually. In this* country, Waukesha| and Jefferson counties in Wisconsin, | Rice, Pine and St. Louis counties in| Minnesota, are noted just because they are raising one particular breed | of dairy cattle. i The Northfield Breeding Associa: | tion, in Rice county, has been in opera- tion comparatively a few years; still the farm bank-deposits have been | doubled. The cammunity has a repu- tation for producing Holstein cattle. Even grades are being sold at an aver- age of $75 and the pure-breds are in demand at fabulous prices. If this can be done at Northfield, it can be done in other sections. The matter rests entirely with the farmers of any community. The matter of increased production is really the object for which to strive; for [ believe we perhaps think too much of the selling of the stock which we get from better breeding. By the use of a geod sire, the farmer should increase the production of his herd fifty pounds of butter per cow. At 30 cents per pound, this would make am in- crease of §15 per year per cow. Such an increase in production-is what is wanted. There would then be no grade cows for sale for several years, because the farmer would- want the heifers”to grow up, have their milk ‘weighed, tested, and the poorer omes then culled out. Bull calves should not be kept or sold for breeding pur- poses. farmers will breed purebreds, since this is a science by itself, but one can select a sire with a high producing ancestry; then select his daughters by the scale and tester. Only a few sires really possess out- standing merit; so they must be tried and found out by their offspring. ‘When thus proved, they become real- ly valuable. When a community is organized for co-operative breeding, these tested and tried sires may be passed about from one farm or group of farms to the next farm or group. In this way one avoids untried sires, and keeps the valuable sires as long as they are useful. By co-operation several men or groups of men can do very cheaply what would seem nearly impossible for one man to do alone. If this plan is adopted and followed out by groups and communities of farmers throughout the state, it would np doubt add thousands of dol- lars to the revenue of the communi- ties, and millions to that of the state. The fact that it has been done else where is sufficient proof that it can be done in any community in Minne- sota, if farmers will only get together. LIVE STOCK A NECESSITY. Will Add to Annual Yield of Every Farm. Every fsrm of 160 acres of good, tillable land, in Minnesota, is capable of yielding a gross income of $3,000 annually. To do this, however, the amount of live stock of all kinds which 18 kept—norses, cows, beef cattle, pigs and poultry—should be equivalent to forty head' 6f milch cows, and a proper rotation of crops should be observed. The means of carrying out these ideas are dt the command of almost. every owner of such a farm; so that any sum by which hig income falls short of $3,000 may ‘be 'said to have been thrown away through neglect of the opportunities placed at his disposal by the modern “science of the farm.” ' - A Discredited Report. “Rossinl.” said a hotel magnate, *was once promised by a: friend a din- ner of turkey und truiles.

This trouble, ‘which some persons think of as being caused by the sun and hot winds of summer, is really due to certain:win- ter conditions. It is well known that a branch of a dormant tree, when given local condi- tions of warmth, as by drawing it in | through a small opening in a window or the wall of a greenhouse, will start into growth. If the conditions are fa- vorable inside, the branch will do this even though there be zero weather out- side.

The cells become active, take up moisture, and become distended. The temperature drops rapidly with the going down of the sun. The cells freeze, and, as water expands when freezing, the cell-walls are ruptured. This destroys or seriously tnjures the cambium, or growth layer, between the bark and the wood. Fungous growth then enters and the bark de- cays and drops off, as on.the maple trunk presented in the cut herewith. The trouble is more prevalent in cer- tain smooth-bark species. It is quite common on many of our maples and birches. The scalding is more apt to occur on southwest hillsides, because the sun’s rays strike such an exposure more directly, and consequently more It is not expected that a“_ci the heat rays are absorbed. The same may be said of trunks and branches forming right angles with | the line of the sun’s rays. In the case of street and ornamental trees, avoid those smooth-barked sorts which scald readily, or protect the trunks and larger branches until the head is large enough to thoroughly SCAL.D BY CORNSTALKS. shade them. This may be accom- plished- by wrapping burlap or other material about the trunk to ‘shade it. The cut shows a method of using corn- stalks for proteeting fruit trees. In the case of fruit trees, low head- ing, which is for many other reasons a desirable feature in the Northwest, will largely eliminate the danger. The use of cornstalks, as in the cut, may be adopted to further protect those sorts which are especially susceptible. Some use paper or burlap, wrapping all "larger branches and the trunk, with good results. The cap sheaf of poultry culture is cleanliness. Cleanliness means that the poultry houses;, vards’ and sur- roundings should be kept sanitary aud fit for the fowls to live in.. True to His Name.
