JOSEPHG.CANNOH GIVESSTATEMENT

Points to Record and Has No Apologies to Offer. PLEDGES HELP IN FALL ELECTION Says Test of Republicanism of Candidates for Congress is to Attend Caucus and Abide By the Result of the Same. Danville. 111., Aug. 19. —Speaker Cannon when first apprised of Nicholas Longworth’s repudiation of him, telegraphed from Beverly remarked: “Oh, I decline to answer any statement which Nicholas Longworth may or may not have made until I see it. I do not answer any statements which I believe to be fakes that mischievous parties make. It is time enough for me to answer the president of the United States if he has any statement to make touching on the Republicanism of the speaker of the bouse of representatives when he makes that statement under his own hand. I will not fight windmills filled by breezes blown from lungs of political or personal enemies or cowards,”

Later, when the complete LongWorth statement was submitted Mr. Cannon called his private secretary, and for the next hour they went over the matter. said: . “The legislation enacted and the record made by the Republican party during the eight years I have been speaker, speaks for itself. I have contributed what I could toward the enactment of that legislation. I have co-operated with the Republican majority in congress in the effort to put on the statute books the policies of the party, and I have no apology to make for the part I have taken' in the legislative councils of the nation. "In the present campaign as far as I am concerned I will do what I can to bring about the election of a Republican house of representatives in the Sixty-first congress and, without a Republican majority in the next house there will be no Republican speaker. * “In the event of my re-election as a member of the house I shall attend and abide by the action of the Republican caucus, and, from hl® statement, Mr. Longworth will do the same, as will every Republican member of the house. Therefore, I have no quarrel with Representative Longworth as to who shall be speaker of the next agreement touching this matter between Mr. Longworm and myself. “If any Republican candidate for congress feels that his position as a candidate on the Republican ticket would be strengthened by pledging that he will not support me. in a Re* publican caucus, I have no objection to his making the pledges. The only test that I would make as to the Republicanism of candidates for congress, is, will he, if elected, attend the Republican caucus and abide by the result of the same in the organization of _the house and the enactment of legislation in pursuance of Republican policies."

RAISING BEEF CATTLE

Value of Good Pastures and Pure Water In Stock Breeding. Careful attention to pastures has for several reasons been the leading feature of my farming, writes a successful Indiana stock breeder in the American Agriculturist, first, because in the rearing of cattle it is imperative to maintain the breeding cows in robust health, and this can be most surely and economically compassed with outdoor conditions I have never thought exercise as necessary to the health of cows, as some claim, but 1 do think that it is impossible to overestimate the value of nutritious grasses and easy access to pure water The secondsreason it that a greater per cent of the year's food can be obtained with less labor through good pastures thanin any other way. The labor problem is lmf»ortant not only because of the

ANGUS HEIPERS BROAD BACK.

money involved, but also because of the strain it puis upon human patience and forbearance. By the liberal use of pasture the labor problem is reduced to its Invest terms. r Pasture has peculiar value on a breeding farm because the animals are reared from babyhood, become accustomed to each other and to the pasture and in consequence do their best Conditions might be entirely different where fitting for slaughter was the object of live stock management; then the bringing in of strange animals might mean the introduction of trouble. My object being to have grass as many days in the year as possible, care is taken not to overstock the pasture. It is a mistake that many of us make to believe that we are getting the most from the pasture when we permit it to be eaten off until the blades are but an inch or so hi length and the soil exposed. Another very common error is that land is made more fertile by being pastured.

Those who have studied the subject tell us that the fertility of the land la increased only when concentrated feeds are fed or when top dressed with stable manure. In my own experience no investment in farm machinery has been more thoroughly satisfactory than a manure spreader, and nowhere have the results been as Immediate and as great as when it has been used on pasture land. With the spreader it is possible to distribute as little as four loads to the acre.

THE SWINEHERD.

Selecting a Brood Sow. The nervous, high strung sow is not hard to pick out and is generally a poor animal to buy. Feed Hogs Regularly. Fattening hogs should not be made to wait for their feed. Regularity in feeding is essential. Profitable Corn. Joseph Beyer, a farmer near Waldron. Md.. sold fifty-eight hogs for $933, an average of over sl6 for each hog. Having kept account of the bushels of corn fed to them, he finds he received $1.54 a bushel for the corn Pasture Make* Cheap Pork. The lowa experiment station was able to make 750 pounds of gain on hogs from one acre of clover, and it was estimated by that station that by the use of plenty of pasture gains could lie made for a little over 3 cents per pound Finishing the Hog. No better place can be had to finish hogs on new corn than a field of rye that has been '‘hogged down.” But they should by all means have corn before the rye begins to fail. This kind, of ration, new corn and rye, will be most too strong for sows and pigs. Give the Runt a Chance. if there is a scarcity of pigs it will usually pay to give the runt a little extra chance.Amoderate ration of middlings or. some other good feed will soon show whether there is anything of value in the runt pig. Well bred hogs will soon respond to good feeding, but the choice pigs of poorly bred bogs are not usually profitable. Pigs Need Exercise. It is best never to confine pigs and young hogs in a small pen. Those who are compelled, by circumstances to do this had better give up the business of raising hogs and try something else. Old hogs may be confined in a pen after they have developed bone and muscle, but young bogs, as well as any other young animals, must have an abundance of exercise.
