The Roosevelt Republicans of Indiana need not expect to get a hearing when it oomes to selecting delegates to the national convention. Mr. Fairbanks’ machine will see to that, just as it has been attending to other party matters for ten years.

The Cincinnati Times-Star, which is owned by a brother of Candidate Taft, reproduces the buttermilk jokes and other jokes about Candidate Fairbanks and generally “makes light” of him. In return the Fairbanks organs print cartoons representing Taft as being built like a baloon. What a happy family!

The building permits issued in July of this year in the principal cities of the country bliow a falling off of $10,000,000 when compared with July, 1906. In all parts of the country there has been a decided check in the building of homes. The lumber trust, backed up by the tariff, has about killed the goose in its haste to get the golden egg.

Presuming that there will be no reduction of the present rate of taxation of $3.36 on each one hundred dollars valuation in Rensselaer, if the railroad subsidy tax of 11 per cent —$1.50 on the sloo—is voted, we will then enjoy a rate of ♦4.86! The republican idea, however, is to tax the people to make them prosperous, and as this subsidy proposition is likely to carry we may expect a season of unparalleled prosperity in Rensselaer.

The assessment of the farm lands of the state has been raised an average of 10 per cent by the state tax board. It takes money—and a lot of it —to run the state government and pay the increased salaries of those holding state jobs. Besides several dozen new otHces were created by the last legislature. “Business administrations” like those we have been having for twelve years are oostly. If the taxpayers want extravaganoe in publio office they will have to pay for it.

MORE ABOUT TRUSTS.

Indianapolis News (lud. Republican): As for ourselves we have little faith in any oampaign against trusts that does not strike directly at the high duties under which they are able to maintain their monopoly, and make what prioes they please. The powder truant, for example, whioh has incurred the enmity of the President, is protected by a duty of 4 cents a pound when the valuation is not in excess of 20 cents, and of 6 cents a pound on any valuation in

I excess of 20 cents. But these duties jtoo, must be maintained, in the interest of a trust that is strong ! enough to dictate terms to the Government itself. It is on suob taxes as these that we Are to stand pat. They are not to be interfered I with for two or three years beoause j Senator Hopkins thinks it would jbe “suicidal” for the Republican 1 party to revise the tariff now, and the President of the United States agrees with him. Of the attitude of the Republican leaders, the New York Times says: The obstacles to revision do not lie in the tariff. The task is not complex, it could be made exceedingly simple. It lis the attitude of the President and bis ' stand-pat advisers that constitutes the obstruction. “Trust-bustmg" is popular and wins votes. The formulation of new and strange theories of the constitution, no sooner produced than ridiculed, wins the applause of the multitude. Immediate revision of the tariff would bethonest. It is a duty. But honesty and duty are commonplace virtues, not in the least spectacular, So the practice of them i may be deferred to a more convenient season after election. So the spectacular trust-busting campaign will go on, and prices will continue to soar. But we do not see much chance for that “alert competition” which is suggested as a remedy for the extortions of the thread trust. We are going to stand v pat for at least two years, and thd-president is on record as believing that there is no connection between trust extortion and our protective taxes.

TO FRIENDS OJF THE DEMOCRAT. - When you have a legal notice, such as notice of appointment as executor or administratror, final settlement of estate, nonresident notice, notice of ditch or highway petition, or any other legal notice that the clients themselves oontrol, be sure to instruct your attorneys to have the publication made in the Democrt, otherwise they will take it to papers of their own political faith. Remember The Democrat is fighting your battles and using its best efforts to keep down taxation, and it is your duty to assist it, at least when it costs you nothing to do so, as our prices are usually much less for publishing legal notices tfian other papers, because they are set compactly, and are not “padded” out to make them as long as possible. Any favors shown us in this way will be greatly appreciated, and we want again to urge you to be sure to instruct your attorneys to have such publications made in The Jasper County Democrat.

HAIRY VETCH. Thi* Crop la Particularly Valuable In tha North. Two vetches lu particular are cultivated In the United States, the common vetch, or tares, and the hairy, or Rnsslan, vetch. The former is much used as a winter crop for hay on the Pacific coast and In the southern states, being commonly sown with oats, rye or wheat. It is also extensively grown In the citrus orchards of California as a winter green manure crop.* In the northern states it is veTy likely to winter kill. Hairy vetch is in a general way like common vetch, but decidedly more re-

■istant to cold. It will ordinarily survive the winter in most parts of the United States and in Canada. In fact, it is more resistant to cold than any other annual legume grown. On this account it is particularly valuable in the north, according to the bureau of plant industry. In the Connecticut valley it has received much favor as a winter green manure and cover crop on tobacco lands. — Where the winter temperature is not cool enough to prevent growing, as in California, it has been found that hairy vetch grows much more slowly in cool weather than the common vetch, and the latter is therefore preferred. Hairy vetch, however, grows very rapidly as the weather becomes warm. Vetches are spmewhat objectionable where small grains are used in rotation, as they become somewhat weedy In grainfields. Except for this, vetches are a very valuable crop and deserve much more extensive cultivation. As a rule, hairy vetch can be safely sown from the 15th of August to the 15th of September, says an authority on this subject. When grown as a cover crop it should be sown alone.

What Overripe Hay Lack*. The, trouble with overripe or damaged hay is lack of palatability and, worse than this, indigestibility, remarks a writer in New T England Homestead. It bears the same relation to good hay that a skim cheese does to a full cream cheese. You eat the former and never want to see its kind again. Chemical analysis does not discover the trouble, but the stomach does. The city feeder is a much better judge of quality in hay than the farmer, because he looks for results. There has been less improvement along this than any other line of farm work. It should be a question of how good as well as how much. It is easy to cause a depreciation of 23 or . even 50 per eent in feeding value. The worst feature is the guilty party does not appear to notice the difference. Sweet Corn, In some Canadian tests the three varieties ,of sweet corn, Ringleader, Mammoth White Cory and Golden Bantam, required eighty-four, eightyseven and eighty-eight days respectively to mature for table use, according to New England Homestead. In comparative value Ringleader stands first, but in table quality Golden Bantam was the leader. Handy Pen Gate.

gate as it shuts drops in a sinfilar groove. This is said to work more easily than the guillotine gate and is less liable to get out of order. The gate as shown is half open. When fully open it Is thrown quite back, and to close the gate It is thrown forward till it falls into its place fn the opposite, groove.—Leader. For Dwarf Pears. For dwarf pears I would not advise any one to let the trees stand in sod, says T. G. in Farm and Fireside. It will mean ruination to the trees and unprofitable crops right along. The erdtnary run of standard winter pears are not so particular, and we have usually grown very good crops on trees even In sod.

Bome Valuable Hint* For Brodeers ot the Feathered Beautiee. Good shelter is half the food. No matter how well we feed, If the shelter Is not of the right order, only half the results will be produced. The runt hen cross Is said to .produce the finest squabs, but at present Is too high priced for the general market Give the loft a good coat of whitewash, and it is rechmmended that a little glue be mixed in it to prevent the whitening coming off on your clothes. K. C. Cummings says that it costs him $1.30 per pair to build houses; 92 cents to feed breeders, and two men to attend to 5,000 pairs. Ten cents per pair will cover cost of grit, charcoal, salt, lime, sand, tobacco stems, etc. It will be found that those pigeons that molted early yill be the first and best squab producers. It Is the hen pigeon that builds the nest. The hen usually lays her first egg in' the afternoon. Breeders under twelve months of age should, be avoided. Immature females cannot possibly produce large, well developed squabs, nor can they be depended upon to produce squabs entirely free from disease and ailments of all kinds. A few odd cocks have been known to destroy more young birds in one day than a couple of rats would in a whole night. A damp house creates catarrhal and bronchial colds, which later develop Into roup and canker. Filth poisons the air and becomes infested itself with disease germs, which In turn contaminate the nest boxes, communicating to both old and young diseases which destroy. As a good working pair of breeders Mill hatch the second pair of young within a week from the time the first pair were weaned, it is essential that proper food be given the old birds, that they may keep up their own strength and at the same time push their young to the market size.—Philadelphia Farm Journal.

Line breeding as practiced by pouL trymen Is simply carefully, conducted inbreeding, females being continually mated back to the best male specimens of direct descent from the original male ancestor. The practical application of the system varies according to the ideas and needs of the various fanciers, There is no fixed rule.- - Use only male birds of the direct male line from which you are breeding. Select breeding birds for health, vigor and quality. Pullets may be bred back to sires, grand sires or great-grandsires or to other good males of direct descent from the original male ancestor. It Is preferable to mate pullets with cocks and hens with yearling cocks or cockerels instead of mating pullets and cockerels together.

There art! several formulas of feed in use for breeding ducks, hut I have found the following very satisfactory during the egg producing season, says Miss F. E. Wheeler in Poultry Husbandry. The measures are given in bulk, not weight: Two and a half parts of cornmeal one and a half parts of wheat bran, one and a half parts of ground oats, one and a half parts of ground wheat or barley, one and a half parts of beef scrap. Add to the above in bulk one-fourth part fine cut stripped alfalfa, while of course oyster shells, sand and charcoal are kept before them, and water, with a light feed of hard grain at noon.

The Incubator room must be kepi quite constant in temperature. A cellar is a good place In which to * ruu incubators if it is not so cold as to require the lamps to be run very high in order to maintain the necessary degree of warmth inside of the machine. If several incubators are located lu the same room, great care should be taken to provide proper ventilation, so that the machines may be furnished with clean, fresh air at all times.

The following mixture will prove very satisfactory as a chick feed if all the grains ark reduced by cutting or cracking to chick size and the finer meal sifted out: Fine cracked corn or corn grits, fifty pounds; cracked wheat, twenty pounds; steel cut oats or cut hailed oats, ten pounds; cracked Kaffir corn, seven pounds; brokeu idee, five pounds; millet, pounds; cracked peas, two and a half pounds; whole flaxseed, one-half pourid.

pen gates. It works on a stout bolt at the foot of one of the uprights and runs between the post and an upright fastened as shown. On the opposite side the'

It Is highly important that the poultryman know the egg laid by each hen In his flock. This is practically impossible without the aid of the trap nest. If the breeder who has never given the trap nest a trial would seriously consider the subject, he would see the many advantages to be derived from its use.—R. H. Jones in Commercial Poultry. '

If compelled to shut the hens up for any reason do your best to make their surroundings as nearly like those outside as you can. This means give them ■hade, plenty of good food, a' chance to work for their living and If good supply of drink—sour milk, If you have It, regularly.

A cooked mash Is excellent for pushing broilers along to an early maturity, but don’t feed It to the growing pullets that you want to make good layers next fall and winter. It Is too “forcing" ' , " '
