A young West Pointer—call of a chance of election, should now give the nomination to some one else, when there is at least an even show; and whoever else might get it would take it as Bryan’s choice. Discussing this situation, the Bos- ton Herald says: “No Democrat could have been elected in 1896.

All of us will have to go, sooner or later, and some of us will not die in battle. You’re a lucky man, Sherman; you've been shot on the battlefield; you’ro a lucky man. Good-bye, old man, good-bye.” Waving his hand and smil- ing, he walked away. “ ‘Col.

Nixon of Nevis Gives His Experience Which Will Be Of Value to Many. st Writing in The Farmer, J. H. Nix- on, of Nevis, Hubbard county, gives his experience which will be of value to many farmers on lands _ similar to that on which Mr. Nixon has been so highly successful. He writes: “T had owned @ nice piece of land for several years, and in the spring of 1908 I thought I had found a good ‘tenant, so I put him on it. There were only five acres of land broken, but there was considerable wild hay meadow near the lake; the land un- der the plow was seceded to timothy and clover. I lcoked around and bought the three best cows that I could find for sale, which happened to be a pure-bred Jersey, a grade Guernsey and a good Shorthorn. The first two were fresh in ‘the spring and the Shorthorn in August. The tenant was to get half for caring for them, and as they were extra good cows, I thought they would pay for themselves. However, they were all dry before December and I had to pay for wintering dry cows, and I had not reecived more than ten dol- lars for my share of the butter. So you see, I had to almost pay for then again before spring and I decided to move on the place myself. This [ did in the spring of 1909 and bought a team of horses and two more cows. I spring-plowed the clov- er land and raised more than , 40 bushels of corn to the acre, and also broke eight acres more which I put into fodder corn, vegetables, an acre of mangels @nd a quarter acre of carrots. I then had plenty of feed to winter my herd, which had been in- creased to eleven head by the addi- tion of a good Jersey sire. During that winter the cows not only paid their own expenses, but furnished a living for the family of six to seven people. ‘ During 1910, on poor pasture and light feeding of bran, my cows aver- aged from seven to twelve pounds of butter a week all through the sum- mer, for which I received an average of 30 cents per pound. I have just wintered 17 head of cattle, including calves. Good cows are very hard to get and I am going to raise my own calves. I expect to keep about ten cows that will produce an average of 300 pounds of butterfat per year. One of my Jerseys has a seven-day record of 420 pounds of milk testing five per cent, and I am weighing and keeping a record of all my cows so that I will know what they are doing, I have raised plenty of feed to win- ter my 20 head of stock, and I sold enough hay last month to buy e ma- nure spreader. I have over 100 loads of manure to put on my clover and alfalfa land, and for the last two years have been able to cover all cultivated land with a coat of manure. During the next five years I expect to double all crops by the use of ‘ma- nure. I am rais'ng alfalfa for the cows to keep down the expense of so much bran and shorts to balance the corn fodder ration. Last year’s sow- ing was covered late last fall by ma- nure and scems to have come through the winter in fine shape. Am going to seed more this year. I have plans drawn for a modern dairy barn and silo which I intend to build early in the summer. This has been accomplished in two years on cut-over land that originally cost from three to five dollars per acre only a few years ago, but will soon be worth $50 per acre (it is worth that now for dairying.) Three co- operative creamerics have been or- ganized in this community during the past six months, and there will be frm 40 ta 50 silos in Hubbard coun- ty ready for use next fall. Our coun- ty motto is: “Corn, Cows and Clover.” ! Trask Appointed Clerk.

The most important business be- fore the Winnipeg board of trade was a resolution having to do with the immigration question in the Canadian West. This resolution read as fol- lows: “Whereas, it has been learned that a large number of negroes, who have for years been occupying lands in Ok lahoma, are being induced to sel their lands and come to Western Can ada to take up homesteads or pur- chase lands for settlement, and, “Whereas, as has been found on examination at the frontier, many of them are unable to pass physical ex- aminetion, while others appear to fill the requirements of such exam- ination and have been admitted into Canada. “Whereas, those who have come into Canada and taken up land have not proven themselves satisfactory as farmers, thrifty as settlers, or de- sirable neighbors to white settlers and have not and will not likely as- sist in the proper development of our country and its resources. Be it, therefore : “Resolved, that the board of trade of the city of Winnipeg strongly urge upon the government the advisability of preventing the entrance into Can- ada of that class of immigrants.” It was pointed out that immigratio officials were reporting to the Domin- ion government in this matter, and it was the opinion of those who took part in the discussion that the hands of the government would be strength- deemed necessary by the passing of such a resolution, The resolution was adopted and wili be forwarded to Ottawa, SEVEN SENATOR BILL TO COURT Twelve Reasons Alleged to Keep Measure Off Election Ballots. No less than twelve reasons are alleegd by Representative Charles R. Fowler of Minneapolis as grounds for @n injunction to restrain the placing of the “seven sentaor” amendment cao the ballots at the next general elec- tion. Boiled down, the reasons are that the bill was passed contrary to the rules of the legislature; that it was not signed by the governor, and that it violates the equal rights guar- antees of the federal and state Con- stitutions. On constitutional grounds the case may be taken even to the supreme court of the United States. Mr. Fowler does not ask for a tem- porary injunction. The amendment has already been published in the ses sion laws, and the suit is only to de- termine whether the amendment shall be printed on the general election bal lot. The injuction is directed against Julius A. Schmahl, secretary of state, who will be represented by George T. Simpson, attorney general. The state has twenty days in which to file an answer, after which the case will be set for a hearing in the dis- trict court of Hennepin county. Geo. H. Selover appears as attorney for Mr. Fowler, who is absent from the city on business. Mr. Fowler assist- | 0. ed in preparing the complaint Preme court, regardless of the way it is decided in the district court. It may even be carried to the supreme court of the United States, as there are questions in it involving the fed- eral Constitution. The appeal to Washington cannot be taken, howev- er, unless the state supreme court grants a writ of error. Mr. Fowler sues as a taxpayer and sets forth that submissions of the amendment would cost the state at least $2,500. That is only a means of getting into court, however. The real grounds of the suit are set forth ful- ly in the complaint.
