Class No 7 selected Miss Dixie! Because he is a Democrat. Because he does things. Because he can win next Novem- ber. Because he is against the single tax. Because he did win in 1908—by odds, Because he is unincumbered, unat- tached and has no alliances. Because his official record is an open book and reads right. Because he prevented the trebling of the tax on every farm and city home in the state. Because he has done more for the people than any other Attorney-Gen- eral Missouri has had. Because he enforced the Stamp Act and sustained it in the Supreme Court of the United States, and placed $100,- 000.00 in the State Treasury to the | credit of the good road fund. Because saved the producers of grain $500,000.00 annually by enforc- ing and _ sustaining the Full Weight Statute in the Supreme Court of the United States. Because he sustained, in the Su- preme Court of the United States, the validity of the Initiative and Referen- dum, or the right of the people to leg- islate. Because he prosecuted and con- victed the Harvester Trust securing a fine of $25,000.00 and an order to dis- solve. Because he is successfully prose- cuting the Lumber Trust and Beef Trust. Because he is one of the best known men in Missouri and is fully conver- sant with the State’s fiscal affairs. Because on account of his record he is without question the most avail- able Democrat to lead the party to victory. Missouri State Fair County Ex- hibits. This year more attention will be paid to County Exhibits at the Mis- souri State Fair than formerly. A large number of counties have al- ready arranged for splendid County Exhibits. The County Courts are authorized, under the Missouri Stat- utes, to appropriate money to make a display of the agricultural products of the counties at the State Fair. There is probably no other way in which a county camreceive more ben- efit in advertising the resources and possibilities than by collecting a good lot of exhibits and sending them to the State Fair. Liberal premiums are offered and the splendid Agricul- tural Building on the State Fair grounds isan ideal place to show what your county can produce. It is well to keep in mind that we should begin early to prepare the ex- hibits for this purpose. The exhibits should be made in the name of the county and they may be made by an Association, or by individuals and the display should be confined to pro- ducts grown in the county. All sam- ples of straw or grasses\should be cut close to the ground, cured in the shade and carefully tagged, wrapped and packed. The awards and prizes will be based on the quality and va- riety of products shown. The Missouri State Fair dates are September 28 to October 4, and Iam very anxious that all of the counties in my district participate.

The Missouri Farmer is opposed to the adoption of the Single Tax Amend- ment which is to be voted upon in November, and which, if adopted, would throw practically the entire burden of taxation upon land owners, Never in the history of Missouri has a measure been proposed which so vitally affects the interests of the farm- eras this one and it therefore be- hooves every land owner to inform himself in this matter as speedily as possible. In the May issue of the Mis- souri Farmer Geo. B. Ellis, the editor, takes up the proposed amendment and shows how unfair its passage would be to the farmers of this state. Mr. Ellis is the Ex-Secretary of the Missouri State Board of Agriculture and there are few men of sounder judgment anywhere upon matters which concern the farmer.

Canning String Beans.—One peck of beans such as you would use for “snaps;”’ string and break into inch lengths; add enough water to cover, a handful of salt and a cupful of good vinegar; put over the fire and let come to a boil; keep boiling ten min- utes, then pack into jars, use new rubbers and cover the beans to overflowing with the with the water and vinegar and seal air-tight. Wrap in brown paper and put away in cool place. Another Way.—Prepare your beans as for the table; break into short lengths and pack loosely in glass jars, then fill to overflowing with cold water; screw on the covers, and have a wash boiler with slats ora thick cloth over the bottom, and stand your jars on this; fill with cold water in the boiler, enough to cover the jars; put boiler over the fire; boil constantly for three hours, having the cover on the boiler; if the water seems too much evaporated, fill again with boiling water from the teakettle. then tighten the tops as much as pos- sible, stand on top end to test for leakage, and if perfectly sealed, wrap in brown paper and put away. Canning Corn.—This recipe was given some years ago, and has been repeatedly called for, as it was gener- ally satisfactory: Nine pints of corn cut from the cob; one pint of sugar; half pint of salt; one pint of water; mix and let stand a few minutes un- til the juice rises to nearly cover the corn; then boil twenty minutes and seal in glass or tin jars while boiling hot. To prepare for use, soak and drain off the water until it tastes just salt enough; then season with a little butter and cream thickened witha spoonful of flour; sweeten if liked. For Chili Sauce—Eight quarts of ripe tomatoes, peeled and cut up; three cupfuls of green peppers, two cupfuls of onions, three cupfuls of sugar, one cupful of salt, three pints of vinegar, three teaspoonfuls each of cloves and cinnamon, two teaspoon- fuls each of ginger and nutmeg. Chop the vegetables very fine and boil all the ingredients together for three hours until quite thick, then bottle and seal. To color pickles green by harmless methods, the following is said to be satisfactory: Dissolve five grains of saffron in one-fourth ounce of dis- tilled water; in another vessel dis- solve four grains of indigo carmine in one-half ounce distilled water. After shaking each up thoroughly allow to stand twenty-four hours, and then mix together, and a fine green solu- tion is obtained capable of coloring five pounds of sugar. This should be poured into the pickle until the prop- er color is had. Ground cherries, can be gathered when ripe and dried with the husks on, and they will be like raisins. Marriage Licenses.

Guyton’s Livery Barn, OVER 66 YEARS’ EXPERIENCE grain, by putting a cap on top, has about vanished from the land. This way was all right in the East, but out here on the prairies the wind blows the cap sheaf off, sometimes in a. few. hours after it is put on. not one with such a narrow brim that a person is apt to go around looking for it when he has it on, it being so small he fails to realze that there is any- thing on his head. Butthe these great high-crowned, broad-brimmed Mexi- can hats do not appeal to me a little bit. as well as a drouth resister, but I see no reason why it could not be grad- ually pushed further north, where I am sure folks would like it. greatest grain for poultry‘on earth— nothing else like it.

A little grain helps out a lot of grass, though. higher the education the less hanker- ing there is for heavy work, and that if education keeps on getting higher and higher men to do the harder work of the world will be harder and hard- to find.

Now, then, which way is the man to do who: seeks to follow the best corn raiser of the neighborhood? The pumpkin in the cornfield stands a slim chance of escape on the farm where all the corn is harvested with a binder. The makers of corn binder are adopting more and more the broad wheel, and broad wheels have a way of smashing about every pumpkin in the cornfield. : Some men are so constituted that they look for the worst. If it rains they are afraid their crops are going to be flooded, if it does not rain they are afraid everything is going to dry up. Since worrying about it does no good, why worry? It is said that one of my great-grandmothers used to worry because there was nothing she could think of which to worry. A rainy day on the farm, with a lot of hired help drawing regular wages, is not always so pleasant to the farm- er. When rains continue and the teams are keep out of the field for a week, matters begin to take on a de- cided bluish cast. It is seldom that a good file can be found on any farm, and yet there is nothing, cost considered, that pays better to keep alwaps on hand. Fool- ing away time using a worn-out file is more expensive than new files. Once upon a time, I was persuaded to have a set of cultivator shovels | ground instead of drawn out by heat- ing and pounding. The one who talked me into having the set ground and I would thus be able to keep the fine polish and temper that is always there when soft center shovels are new, but grinding proved insufficient. In a short time the shovels were as dull as ever, soI had them pounded next time. The by-product of grain farming with the surplus grain hauled off the farm and sold at the elevators, amount to nothing. In dairy farming, there are at least two valuable by-products, and both of these are often as valua- ble as the cream that is sold, even though this may return $75 or$100 a month. These by-products are the skimmed milk, which makes good hogs, and the manure, which makes rich soil. Card of Thanks.
