There's a whole lot about our big nat ional deals and affairs that I ain't let into the secret of but our president is on the inside. He knows men and things .and needs and conditions and he knows what will carry on his poli cies best and so I say when he comes outspoken for any man or movement I'm in for it with all my heart. It's the same about those warships. Roose velt says we need 'em and ought to have 'em in a hurry and he knows what's on the tap. We can't see be hind the scenes but he can and there's truly something that the public don't know of in the wind. Taft is the best prepared man I know of for pres idsnt. He ain't got onto his job by just sittin' on a chair in Washington but he's ben out right among the pro blems, in Filipines and Cuba and Ja pan and China and Porto Rico and Panama and down south and he kljows just what's what without lookin'. 8 8 What a fraud the congressional Re cordiis.

It's uothin' but a fraud on the public. And when you once ain't certain about what Is so and what ain't so as it appears in the records the whole thing is up in the air. It looks like the cowardly con gressmen were just tryin' to sham be fore their constits and that a whole let of the junk printed in the Record was simply and solely to blind their constits without tryin' to hav a feath er's weight in shapin' legislation. They don't seem to hav any idee of gettin' laws passed that will relieve burdens and alleviate conditions but they are just like cattle owned by the trusts. to I spose that if all the wealth in this country wa6 divided out equally so that every man, woman and child had a equal share, it wouldn't be a week before the big share would hav noth in' and the nateral capitalists and jjggerers would be pilin' it up big agen. It was alwus so and it alwus will be. You can't help nateral con ditions, some men are built to make money and some wouldn't hav a dol lar if they had forty good chances This idee of tryin' to makin' every. body equally rich is a crazy idee that nobody but an idjit would seriously entertain 1 believe in aivin' folKS a Business and residence lots will square deal and equal chance before the law and equal share in purnic onal committee turnin down the con- com beuelits but you can't get the natural Marmarth is the first division Bhift and spendthrift to save and economize and invest and manage so io as get rich.

The ordinary method j£ growing red clover is to cut the fir*t crop as soon as it is in full bloom, and then taking chances of getting a seed crop from the second cutting. This is gen erally a chance and only a chance. Frequently the condition of the weather and the press of farm work delays the first cutting until the heads are all brown and sometimes dead sad then, unless there is a very favorable season, there is not time to mature a second crop before frost, which sometimes happens in the lati tude of central Iowa by the middle of September, earlier north and later south, but generally not until about October 1. Immense crops are sometimes grown in this way, but after all it is a chance. When clover seed is five dollars a bushel or under, the farmer will usually get more clear money by using this sec ond crop for pasture or, if the season is favorable, for roughage, by which we meian a second crop of clover hay. When clover seed rises to eight and ten dollars, or, as this year, $14 a bushel, it is worth while to take some special measures to secure a seed crop. Two or three ways have been sug gested. One is to pasture the first crop until about two weeks before it would ordinarily be cut, which in the central portion of our territory would be about the 10th Of June. This while it will not insure a seed crop, will make it much more certain than the method usually adopted. When the acreage is small and ..the farmer will give the time and atten tion which it requires, says Wallace^ Farmer, it is possible at least in southern half of our territory to t§l a crop of clover hay and add fen -, or 15 days to the time aft&Wed for maturing the seed crop.^J ordinary methods of curing this hay will not be applicable at alfe 11$ contains too much water and to be curesfl by curing it first in the eun, stirring it frequently with the tedder, then putting it up in cocks, putting on caps and letting it cure out in the oock. The only question is whether it is worth enough more for hay than for pasture depend on the condition prevailing on the farm. •ROTATING CROPS. Such System Improves the Many Ways. Old hay meadows become so Infest ed with worms that the hay crop is often greatly reduced. Changing to some other crop for a few years makes It possible to eradicate the worms Wire worms especially can be gotten rid of in this way. There are other advantages of ro tation that we perhaps do not under stand at this time, says the Farmers' Review. Thus, sometimes certain crops are rotated with each other and •how an increased yield due to rota tion, while the food requirements of the crops are quite similar. A STABLE SCRAPER.

The board should be hard The Handy Scraper. wood, about six inches wide, and 18 inches long, and it must be thick enough in the middle to hold the han dle firmly. For a handle, use an old fork handle carefully fitted and wedge it firmly, then bore a hole down through and put in a wire nail to pre vent the handle from pulling out after It works loose, as it is sure to do in time. 1 —For Sale-—I have a good assortment of buggies and surreys that I would like to close out this month.

One way is by Adding nitrogen to it, if leguminous crops are grown in the rotation. It is an error to suppose, however, that all kinds of fertility are added to land by the rotations. The rotating has its limitations, but with that understand Ing, it Is a good thing. One advantage of rotation is to clean out noxious weeds that may get Into the 3and in various ways. Some times a field devoted to the of wheat becomes filled with mustard and other weeds injurious to the pro duction of crops of commercial value. Mustard is not a weed except when it Is out of place. Austiri High School Graduates a Class of 22 teresting Grammar Grade Exercises. The Baptist church was crowded Friday evening to listen to the graduating exercises of the Class of 1908, Austin high school. The class consisted of 22 members, nine boys and thirteen girls. These have made a very creditable^record in school and we congratulate them on perse vering until they won their diplomas. The exercises were of special inter- ly in green. The class sang several act on/1 +Vi A nn*1i on no woo nowlv im_ «/\l 4-V S-V est and the audience was newly im pressed with the splendid results ob tained by our high school teachers. The auditorium was decorated with flowers and flags and the class colors, red and white, were much in evi dence in the decorations. The class motto was "Through Trial to Tri umph." Miss Rae King was valedic torian, having taken first honors of GEO A. FRANKLIN. class and Paul Krebsbach was utatorian. Mr. Krebsbach spoke ^of the career and influence of War ^lihrHfestin^i- "iMiss iCing- dwelt up on "the fact that no one iiveth unto: himself but all are influenced and moulded by the influences about them and the lives with which they come into relation- Judge John Day Smith gave the address to the class and many have spoken of its exceptional merit and practical nature. Three of the great factors in our educational de velopment are the home, the church and the school. The last named has a province of its own and it must be fairly held to meet the requirements made upon it. The present demand for practical education along lines which shall be helpful in taking up a trade should be heeded. He spoke of his experiences in the courts with boys whose education had been ne glected and who were adrift. There are certain conditions and needs with our boys and girls of today and these are to be met by our pub lic schools. In closing the speaker exhorted the class to place character as the chief attainment of life. The material things of earth are unsatis fying and transitory at best. Char acter abides and is the real measure of true success. The music by the high school chorus under the direction of Miss Zender, the teacher, was excellent.
