The republican state convention will be held next week, on “All Fools’ Day." It is hoped the convention will not be hoodooed by this, however.

The Beveridge forces gave the Fairbanks clan a severe jolt in the Eleventh congressional district when they nominated Dr. Good over Mr, Fairbank’s private secretary, George B. Lockwood. Dr. Good has the support of the celebrated “Bull Frog” organization that contributed a great deal to the defeat of Fred Landis two years ago. From this it may be judged that harmony of the same kind will prevail in the Eleventh district this year.

And still the cry goes up from the anti-Taft Republicans that President Roosevelt is using the federal patronage in aid of Taft's candidacy. And still, likewise, comes the answering “defense” that other federal officials are working overtime for Fairbanks, Knox, Hughes and the other candidates. And still the people who pay the salaries of these public servants are wondering who is looking after their business. Really, it is the most shameful thing in the entire history of the country’s civil service.

Republican State Chairman Goodrich, being receiver for a bankrupt railroad, has turned the work of the committee over to Secretary of State Sims. Mr. Sims is paid $7,500 a year by the taxpayers to attend to the duties of his office, but the chairmanship will take his time from now on. As a matter of fact, few republican officials either state or national, are making any pretense of earning their salaries just now. They are all working in politics and the people’s business can either wait or receive that sort of attention which is likely to lead to more graft investigation.

Scandal and graft In the public printing office at Washington; scandal and graft in the purchase of submarine boats, some of it touching members of congress. And the queer thing about it is that it is always discovered accidentallyWhen it is not discovered that way It is not found at all. The officials' are not looking for it, but sometimes they stub a toe —and lo and behold! there it is. And there it has been all the time. Doubtless

there is a vast deal more of it, but federal officials are too busy working in politics to give attention to the people’s business. There ought to be a cleaning out down at Washington as welDaa at Indianapolis.

Politics does indeed make some strange bed-fellows. Probably scores of the readers of this paper have heard Frank Foltz express his private opinion of Abe Halleck, based upon long years of acquaintance with him. But at the machine’s behest Frank went over to Monticello last Friday and made a great speech in placing Abe in nomination for State Senator. It will not be surprising if Judge Thompson and John Martindale now take the stump for Halleck during the campaign. Probably John will also deny many of the stories he has told of the doings of Abe when they were on the board of county commissioners together, including that about the court house clock deal.

Perhaps no newspaper ever did a more dsireputable thing than that which must be charged up to the Indianapolis News with respect to the Democratic editors of the state. At the regular winter meeting In February the Democratic State Editorial Association adopted several resolutions. Among them was one declaring in favor of a local option law in addition to the existing laws regulating the sale of intoxicating liquors. The editors had also asked the state committee to call the Democratic state convention ahead of the Republican convention, which was done. Then came the Indianapolis News and charged that this was all done at the instigation of the “liquor interests,” and it made the charge knowing that it was a peculiar 1 y v iclous falsehood

That pretentious Republican organization, the Columbia Club, of Indianapolis, has just discovered that its bar receipts for 1907 fell off $4,000 as compared with the previous year. This is the club, it will be recalled, that Judge Artman Thlmself a republican) declared to be “the most notorious blind tiger in Indiana.” As this charge was not made until after the year 1907 was ended, a good many people will wonder about how big the club’s bar receipts have been. A loss of $4,000 would indicate that the drinking has been exceedingly heavy. It may be remarked casually that this club has upon its membership roll the names of all the Republican leaders, including Vice President Fairbanks, the two United States senators, the candidates for governor, and scores of others.

it is a well known fact that the organized breweries and saloons are everywhere opposed to the enactment of local option laws. They are opposed to such an enactment in Indiana, and the Indianapolis News is helping them to fight their battle. That paper’s attack upon Democrats with reference to the question is only one phase of its service to its masters. Its silence as to the attitude of Republican politicians on the matter of local option is another and very significant phase. But there are other equally significant things. For instance, temperance people will remember how the News assailed Judge Artman not long ago; and that soon afterward Albert Lieber, the recognized head of the organized liquor interests of the state and i himself a leading Republican politician, also jumped on Artman and said that it was he (Lieber) who got the legislative votes to make Artman the Republican speaker of the house a few years ago.

HINTS FOR FARMERS

Practical Horse Feeding. Whenever the horse is fed one of the first things aimed at should be that his meals should occur at regular hours. Irregular feeding will tend to derange the digestive system more, perhaps, than any other single cause. The matter of proper feeding is one that can only be determined by experience in each individual case. Rarely will two horses reach their best if each is fed the same amount and kind feed. Draft or working horses and driving horses should lie fed differently. The former requires rough feed judiciously balanced with food of a highly nutritious nature. The latter, particularly if used ou long distances or for fast traveling, should be given but little hay; and that mainly at night (supper). Oats and mixed feed are the best food for horses in general. Cracked corn is generally hurtful for feeding purposes. The matter of proper feeding can be best solved by each horse owner by studying carefully the needs of his different animals, always bearing in mind that a change of diet is as necessary for the horse as for a man.—Dr. 8. A. Tuttle in American Cultivator.

Diarrhea of Horse.

In cases of persistent diarrhea the first thing should be to look after the feed and change at once to a proper diet. Give one to one and one-half pints of raw linseed oil and two drams of extract belladonna in it at one dose. After this has operated if the diarrhea does not stop give one dram of powdered opium, one dram of camphor, made into a ball, or give one dram of powdered opium, two drams of powdered chatechu, made into a ball or put into a quart of starch gruel, or give one dram of opium and one tablespoonful of chalk in starch gruel. If the discharge is of the severe kind and very watery, give two drams of powdered opium and one dram of sugar of lead in a ball or in starch gruel and repeat every two hours until it stops. Feed on good oats and hay in small quantities for a few days.—Atlanta Constitution.

Sow and Pig Notes.

Keep the hogs in out of the wet. Keep the pens and beds dry. If sows are soon to have pigs, be sure that the pen is dry and warm. Do you know that if you hang a lantern in the top of your bog nests when it is cold and frosty the tiny pigs that are just appearing will not suffer from the frost? See that the little pigs have plenty of exercise and do not get too fat, or they will get thumps. Don’t give little pigs cornmeal. Walt till they are a few months old before you begin to do that. Give them plenty of room and bustle them around for exercise. Feed the sows carefully. Give very little corn and plenty of roots.—Farm Journal.

Feeding Dairy Cattle.

The question apises. How much grain should be fed to the dairy cow? One successful dairyman feeds as many pounds of grain a day as the cow gives pounds of butter fat in a week. Another gives one pound of grain for every four pounds of milk produced by the larger breeds or three pounds of milk by the Jerseys and Ayrshlres. The dairyman will have to decide by actual experience just what mixture of feeds is best in his particular case. In the central states the following is the most common: One part oilmeal, four parts corn grain or cornmeal, six parts bran and eight parts oats.

Waste In Feeding Corn.

By actual test the Kansas experiment station has determined that cattle voided 11 per cent of whole kernels when corn was fed after being soaked and 10 per cent when the corn was fed dry. This takes no account of the corn masticated and partially digested by the animals. This showing indicates that it pays to grind feed when hogs are not following cattle, and even when they do it should pay.—Farm Progress.

Feeding Brood Sows.

Feeding sows exclusively on corn never will bring strong pigs. When pigs come early, it is Important that they have enough vitality to sustain them through trying weather. Feed the sow's foods rich In protein, such at wheat shorts, ground oats and clover. .
