Plaindealer

THE TOPEKA PLAINDEALER We are Personally Acquainted With Judge Thompson, and Know Him to Be a True Friend of the Colored Race! THOMPSON FOR U.S. SENATOR! Garden City Judge Only Candidate Worthy of the Curtis Mantel. Colored Republicans Only Hope for a Square Deal is in a Good, Clean, Manly Democrat. Fourteenth Year. No. 40. We are Personally THOMPSON Garden City Judge Only of the Curtis Colored Republicans Square Deal is in Manly Den The voters of Kansas will be called upon at the coming election to selcet a man to represent this great state in the Senate of these United States. They have two from which to choose, Judge William H. Thompson, Democrat and Gov. W. R. Stubbs, leader of the Bull Moose movement in Kansas, but who by fraud and deception manages to keep his name on the Republic ticket under that of Taft and Sherman, while on the stump throughout the nation he is espousing the cause of Theodore Roosevelt, and all other foolisms that he thinks will tend to detract from the splendid administration of President Taft. The Plaindealer speaks in all fairness, when we say that we cannot and will not swallow, Stubbs nor his doctrine, and we believe and urge every true loyal Republican to vote and work for the election of Judge William H. Thompson. Mr. Thompson comes nearer to Senator Charles Curtis than anything in sight, and if elected would ably represent the people regardless of creed, color or religion; he would be for the best interest of Kansas and Kansans. Republicans (not Bull Moose variety) white and black are lining up for him throughout the state, which means that Judge Thompson will be the next United States Senator from Kansas. Here is what a staunch Republican paper has to say of Judge Thompson: William H. Thompson for Senator. William H. Thompson comes before the people of Kansas as nominee of the Democratic party for JOSEPH H. ULSH; Topeka's Popular Laundryman Candidate for County Commissioner. Mr. Joseph, H. Ulsh, the well known and popular laundryman, is a candidate on the Democratic ticket for county commissioner, city district, Second, Third and Fourth wards. Mr. Ulsh has been a taxpayer in the city for twenty-one years, and is also one of the most progressive and successful business men in Shawnee county. He has been engaged in the laundry business for many years, and success has constantly crowned his every effort. He is in every way well qualified to fill any position that requires the care and guidance of a good, careful, painstaking business, and if elected, would serve the taxpayers to the best of his ability. Mr. Ulsh employs a large number of people, many of them being colored, and his kindly treatment and square dealing with them has won him their admiration and respect. Win, lose or draw, he is always just plain, jolly, good ritured Joe Ulsh, ready to lend a helping hand to any worthy proposition. HARGIS OUT FOR REGISTRAR OF DEEDS. Popular Young Pharmacist Wants To Serve the People. Art Hargis the popular druggist at 995 Kansas Avenue, has announced his candidacy for Registrar of Deeds on the Independent ticket. Mr. Hargis is one of the best and most favor- United States senator with a record clean in every respect and will bear the most acrupulous inspection. He was raised and educated in Nemaha county and practiced law with his father in Sabetha. He also held several county offices. All his life he has been closely associated with the laws of city and county, and now holds the office as Judge of the 32nd judicial district of Kansas, all of which ably fits him for the position he is striving for. With his manly character and straight-forward business principles he has endeared himself to the people of this county, and not only among the Democratic party alone, but regardless of politics has many friends here, who wish him success in his campaign for senator. —Sabetha Star.

Art Haugis who has resided in Topeka practically all his business life, is a native born Kansan, was member of the famous Twentieth Kansas regiment during the Spanish-American war, is a graduate of the University of Kansas and has made success of every thing to which he has set his PETER H.

Mr. Hargis is eminently qualified for the office being an expert accountant and bookkeeper and will conduct the office in a manner that will save the people's money and at the same time give them prompt efficient service together with courteous treatment. Why not give a good, clean, conscientious young Republican a chance? Join the big majority and vote for Ait Hargis for Registrar of Deeds. If you or your friends want to make money, go to the German-American State Bank, they will tell you how. SHAWNEE COUNTY CANDIDATES Judge R. D. Garver, who is serving his first term in the court of Topeka is a candidate for re-election without opposition. This speaks well for him and shows that he has won the confidence and support of the voters of the city. He is a young man and has a great future. We are looking to see him judge of the district court. --- Judge Ernest R. Simon, candidate for re-election to the office of county attorney for Shawnee county, is a young man full of push and energy. He has filled the office to the satisfaction of the taxpayers and voters and merita re-election for a second term. He has always been fair and impartial and believes in giving a square deal to all. Judge Simons is a staunch Republican and his many friends are rallying to his support and expect to give him a large majority. --- Mr. Tim Donovan is a candidate for re-election to the office of marshall of the court of Topeka. He has served the citizens of Topeka for a quarter of a century in an official capacity, and is always found doing his duty. The voters of Topeka should remember him on election day and run over in the Democratic column and give him a vote. LEAVENWORTH COUNTY. Hon. H. S. Swan, a veteran of the Civil War and ticket agent for the Electric Railway Co., at the Soldiers' home, Leavenworth county, has been selected by the voters of that district to represent them in the next legislature. He is an able man, well qualified to assist in making the laws to govern this state and is a candidate to represent the Sixth representative district. He served throughout the war and engaged in several noted battles and his friends speak in the highest terms of him, and they will make the majority so large that his opponent will be sorry that he even ran against him. The people should stand by him to represent them, as he will champion many good laws for the betterment and uplift of all. --- Hon. Frank Fitzwilliams has been selected by the Democrats as their nominee for county attorney at the coming election. He was born in Leavenworth County in 1873 and has resided there every since. He has the reputation of being one of the best lawyers in the state, and has served Leavenworth as justice of the peace. Tom Larkins, who has served in the sheriff's office the past term as under sheriff has been selected by the Democrats as their nominee for sheriff. He has lived in Leavenworth nearly all of his life. He promises if elected to give the county a good, clean, fair and honorable administration. He is upright and conscientious and can be relied upon to do the square thing. Hon. B. F.

He is at present busy looking after the interest of Arthur Capper for governor. He is organizing clubs and holding meetings in Capper's interest throughout the county. Mr. Davis says the reason he is for Capper is because Capper believes in union labor and came up rom the ranks. He heartily indouses his idea on the school book proposition which he contends if carried out will give the poor man's children an opportunity to get books at cost. He says that Capt. Ed. Moore, Capt. Charles Taylor and Hon. Dick Hazelridge are the most influential men in the Capper movement in Leavenworth county. WYANDQTTE COUNTY.

He is a business man and always runs things on that principle, and his records have always been clear. Mr. Hope Says Knight of Prote Let Guy, Hamlet, Fishback, Wilson. G Gang Explain the Editor of the Plaindealer: I desire to answer the gentleman that wrote the article published in the "Western Index" September 20th, 1912, in answer to the one he read in the Topeka Plaidealer some few days ago. The person that wrote the article in the "Western Index" needs to be pitted not on the account of ignorance but for being an oney coward who would write such an article without signing his signature to the same. It looks as though he was trying to throw the responsibility on the editor of the "Western Index," but knowing the editor as I do I look upon him to be too much if a gentleman to do an oney trick like that. Yet, I threw a stone in the camp of the "Knights and Ladies of Protection," in which somebody's "houn' pup" was hit or hit close too. When I was a boy living on a farm in the State of Kentucky we had a lot of "fox hounds" that would run a fox all night and the next day they would lay around the shed and sleep and if some one would throw a stone they would let you know that some hound had been hit. It looks from the article that I have hit some one's "houn' pum." No one knows better than I know myself that the $51,000 that I went on the note for the gentleman at 525 Kansas Avenue and these gentleman that represented "The Knights and Ladies of Protection got the money for that purpose. The time went on for seven months and the gentleman wanted his money and began to make some inquiry why I didn't take up the note that the "Knights and Ladies" through its officers had borrowed and promised to pay. I told the President of the "Knights and Ladies of Protection" to go to some bank and get the money at a reasonable rate of interest and pay the note and stop squandering the people's money at such a high rate of interest. The gentleman went to The Capital National Bank to get the money to pay off the note made at 525 Kansas Ave. in a real estate and loan company. When the note at the bank came due I, D. D. Hope, had $51.00 to pay. I then wrote a letter to the treasurer of the Knights and Ladies of Protection at Edwardsville, Hon. H. J. Smith, Democratic nominee for judge of the district court, Third Division, is asking for a third term and the voters of that county will undoubtedly elect him as he has always given them a first-class administration. He is honest, upright and conscientious and fair to all mankind and his re-election is a foregone conclusion. ATCHISON COUNTY. At Eighth and Commercial you will find a fine class of young men who will tell you how to make money. See the bank. Mr. Roy C. Trimble, Republican, candidate for Sheriff, is another "home grown" product. He was born on a farm thirty-six years ago, where he grew to manhood and worked until seven years ago, when he came to town opened a livery, feed and sales barn. He is popular, and highly respected by all classes and will receive their hearty support for sheriff. The colored people whom we met speak of him in the highest, and are loud in their approval of his candidacy, because they have always found him to be straight, fair and honest. Mr. Trimble is a hustler and is loosing no time in seeing the voters. Take your savings to the German- American State Bank, Eighth and Commercial streets. ights and Ladies tection Skinned Him! Groyes, and Other Members of the the Mason Debt. Kan., and when he came to Topeka I tried to take up this matter with him and he told me of lots of his own troubles that had come about through the officers of the said organization and taking no steps in regards to my affairs. I then went to the Insurance Commissioner and laid my case before him and he met the officers of the Knights and Ladies of Protection and they agreed for satisfaction they would pay D. D. Hope the $51.00 or give him a bankable note for same, but they have not done either, and for that cause I still claim that the Knights and Ladies of Protection still owe me the $51.00. The gentleman in his article states that the statute limitation has run out but if I will go to some court and get judgment against the Knights and Ladies of Protection they would pay the debt inside of "ten minutes." I don't know why the gentleman wants me to go to court unless he is a lawyer and wants to air himself before the court at the expense of the said "order." I have no money to go in court but am willing to trust my case in the hands of Negro men of our race since we have so many judges and lawyers among the race of which I am a member. It is high time that we were settling our little difficulties among our selves. It is only now and then that we get justice in the courts. The court generally decides on the evidence of the witnesses and jury does the same not knowing whether the witness is telling a lie or the truth. The statute of limitation is a great thing to fall behind when we fail to pay our debts. All of our debts will get old and bald headed if we don't pay them. The statute of limitation does not say that you do not owe the debt, but says time had run out for collection. The gentleman spoke of my reputation. From 1878 up until this date I can put my reputation up against his in any place where we have ever lived, especially in the city of Topeka. And for race pride who has done any more along that line than I, D. D. Hope with the small amount of capital I have possessed. When the Topeka Industrial Institute started in Circulation 8,000 Guaranteed Price $1.50 Per Year. this city in a two room house at the corner of Fifteenth and Washington. I, D. D. Hope, alorg with Mrs. Dr. Vernella, Mrs. Susan Tellis, Mrs. Penny Mason and others too numerous to mention at this time, put our little mites together and did everything in our power to make this institution a success. And from that time up until now I have been doing my duty toward that enterprise of which the president of the Knights and Ladies of Protection's picture is hanging on the walls through a special effort of D. D. Hope and others. We put the money up to hang his picture on the walls of that institution, by giving him a life time membership and after doing so this gentleman was ordered by the gentleman who helped make him a life time member to put on the trustee board, Mrs. Buckner, Jno. Mr. Wright and D. D. Hope. The gentleman put on the board Mr. Wright and Mrs. Buckner and placed Harry Safford, a white man and left D. D. Hope off. Mr. Safford was a white man that had never done anything for the institution, but D. D. Hope stayed with it from start to finish and was on the trustee board at one time with Robert Stone, a representative of this district and Joab Mulvane. Now the gentleman says if I am a race pride man I would get behind these institutions and help them out. Now let the gentleman look up the record of that institution or ask the superintendent how many girls I have paid part of the tuition in that school. Then let him ask the Rev. P. D. Skinner if D. D. Hope ever bought from him when he was agent for some firm in Chicago. I ordered a suit of clothes of $20 and sent to a young man who was in school at Tuskegee at that time. The gentleman that wrote the article in the Western Index tried to throw a damper on my reputation but if he will get out from behind the good men that are in the Knights and Ladies of Protection I will take all of the hide off of him. When it comes to reputation, ignorance as he says I can go on the scale with him with all his intelligence when it comes to "reputation." J. M. Mason who was president of the "said order" died and was buried in this city. At his funeral the gentleman who is now president of the Knights and Ladies of Protection made a statement of Mason's high standing in the order and what a good man he had been to the order but never once told his widow and two children when they would get their money. But from what I can learn they have not been told yet. Why not take this money that some lawyer seeks by airing himself in the court to represent the "said order." J. D. D. Hope will rule that part of it out of order and move the "Mason claim" be paid first, as she is a widow with two children. Now I hope you will take up the "Mason" matter at once. I have no money to throw away in court to see some lawyer who is a member of the "said order" play the "clown act." Fifty-one dollars is not enough for me to take up time in court with as I have done without this long. If they never pay they will always owe it. The statute of limitation is a great thing for people to pay their debts by hollowing statute of limitation has run out. The statute of limitation will run out on all of us if we don't pay. Now this is all I have to say in regards to this matter. In my last answer to anything that may be said by the gentleman that wrote the article in the Index yet kills every "maud dog" in town. D. D. HOPE. 1314 Washington St. Topka, Kan. Kindly vote for H. S SWAN Candidate for Legislator from 6th District. Vote for FRANK FITZWILLIAM for County Attorney of Leavenworth, County. TOM LARKINS Candidate for Sheriff 2nd Term, Some people who are proclaiming from housetop, hill and valley, "thou shalt not steal," seem to have forgotten that there is another injunction which reads: "Do good unto those who despitefully use you," which Mr. Taft seems to love about as much as playing golf, while for Teddy it has no meaning, especially in politics. Last Sunday was spent by Mr. T. Roosevelt in searching the decayed runs of a Georgia village for some remembrance of his mother's birth place, but it is also possible that he looked for some sign of the auction block upon which the Negro woman sold that wedding finery might be purchased for his mother to be married in. It certainly must have been a pleasant thought to ponder. When we are figuring on the high cost of living let us not forget that great army of men and women who never work, yet who live in more case and comfort than the general run of people. Some one provides for them and it must be the man who works. If you spend half of your time on earth working for Satan you will spend all of your time in eternity in his employ without pay. According to the pre-election returns there is no need to spend several hundred thousand dollars to hold an election on November 5th. Vote buying in Pennsylvania is an expensive proposition, as it cost the Bull Moose about two dollars a vote, which makes popularity in that commonwealth come pretty high. Don't forget that gas is a minus quantity this year, and set around till winter is upon you before buying that coal stove and coal. The guards in the Wyoming penitentiary who allowed a Negro to be lynched within the prison walls must been the single leaders in that most hellish and dastardly outrage. Moh violence is a sample of what we would have in this country if the new doctrine of "let the people rule" were put into effect. Some people are following after the cry of the Bull Moose "let the people rule," while others who are supporting him are in search of a concentration of government. There are some people who are crying for a revision of the tariff, but when a schedule is reached that directly concerns something that they have to sell they are not so anxious for a revision, especially if the revision is downward. SPRINGFIELD, MO Recently Mr. Jno. T. Cooper spent several days in Chicago with his son, Cedric L. M. Cooper, whom he has not seen for nearly two years. C. L. M. Cooper spent his vacation working in Chicago. Woman's day was very excellently observed at the Washington Avenue Baptist church Sunday. Three programs were rendered.

A very interesting, sociable and delightful week was enjoyed by Miss Adele Johnson, Miss Blanche Johnson and their friends, when they entertained Mr. Gay of Little Rock, Arkansas, and Mr. Fletcher, formerly of this city, and who is so much interested here that he does return frequently. Mr. Gay in no uncertain tones impressed it upon his friends that he had an object in visiting Springfield, and that he will soon return and seize that object. Mr. Gay made many friends while in the city and Mr. Fletcher's old friends are always pleased to see him. We are pleased to see the C. W Newton again able to till his pulpit. Mr. Cronie I. M.

The Blind Singer Passes Away at 7:17 P.M., Friday, Sept. 20th, 1912. Clay Center, Kansas, Sept. 25. Miss Lucy Holmes, the blind daughter of Mr. and Mrs. H. H. Holmes of this city, died Friday, Sept. 20th, at 7:15 in the evening, and was buried at 2:30 Sunday afternoon, Rev. Hayes officiating. She was born in the state of Missouri in 1878, on the 17th day of October, being 33 years, 11 months, 3 days old. She was the seventh of a family of ten children—six boys and four girls. Two sisters, Mrs. Mae Clayton of Parsons, Kans., and Mrs. Sadie Crews of Junction City, preceded her in death. She leaves behind to mourn her loss her mother, father, one sister, Mrs. Amanda Lawton of this city, six brothers—John, Matthew, George, Lewis, Lester and Harry—thirteen nieces, five nephews, four grand nieces and one grand nephew. Miss Holmes attended the public schools of Clay Center until the age of sixteen, when she was accidentally shot, the effect of which rendered her totally blind. She afterwards went to the institute for the blind at Kansas City, Kas., where she graduated with honors. She was converted to the Methodist faith at the age of 13 years and lived a consistent Christian until the last. She was always cheerful, though misfortune was her lot, and she always had a smile on her face. She was energetic, always and ever ready to do what she could to bring sunshine and cheer. For a number of years Miss Holmes was engaged in concert work, being gifted with a beautiful voice and able to sing God's praises to touch the hearts of mankind. To know her was to love her, as her life was as God would have it to be—wonderful, pure and noble. She is now at rest with the perfect, viewing the sights of eternal bliss, but her memory and work linger with us. Her work on earth is ended, Her mission here is o'er, Peacefully with the angels She shall rest forever more. You who round her honored bier Shed bitter drops of rain. Don't wipe, for in you brighter world. You shall meet with her again. LINCOLN, NEBR. Mrs. H. M. Williams is indisposed this week. The body of W. S.

Western University The leading school for the industrial training of the Negro youth of the West, began its 13th annual session The outlook for a large enrollment this scholastic year, according to applications already sent in, is very good. Since the establishment of the industrial department in 1899, to this now widely known institution, Western University has grown yearly in favor with the people of the West. In fact, it has registered students from all sections of the country. Each year has seen an increase in the number of trades till now more than twenty trades are being taught. The Legislature of Kansas has dealt generously with the school. The flart appropriation was secured during Gov. Stanley's administration and each governor: W. J. Bailey, E. W. Hoch and W. R. Stubbs, in his message to the Legislature, has called attention to the splendid work of this institution and urged an appropriation commensurate with the needs of the school. The largest appropriation was obtained from the 1911 Legislature under Gov. W. R. Stubbs' administration, the appropriation being more than $105,000.00. H. T. KEALING, President and Superintendent.

A Mob Attacked Oklahoma Farmer For Hiring Negro Cotton Pickers. Muskogee, Okla., Sept. 23, 1912. Three wealthy farmers, Sam Robinson, W.A. Larrimore and John Hilton, living near Bilartown, Ok., were shot last night in a battle with neighbors. None of the men is dead, but Robinson and Larrimore are believed to be fatally wounded. Unable to get white hands the three farmers imported Negro cotton pickers. There is a strong sentiment in that locality against Negroes and they have never been allowed to live there. At night a band of white men went to the shacks where the Negroes were quartered, to drive them out. Robinson, Larrimore and Hilton, fearing trouble, went to the Negro quarters to protect them, and when they stepped out into the open, the shooting began. It is not known whether any of the band was killed. More trouble is feared there. Sheriff Wigner has gone to the scene of the trouble with a strong force of deputies and if any more shooting is done they will be in the game. NEGRO MADE MAJOR IN REGULAR ARMY. Washington, D. C., Sept. 1912. Captain Charles Young of the Ninth United States cavalry, the only Negro officer graduated from West Point, has been promoted to the rank of major.

There bx still much uncestainty In the minds ef many persona as te what would happen if none of the presi- dential candidates should get the majority of electotial votes required by the constitution, Repeated in quities on this subject continue to be made by icaders ef The Star, The constitution provides that If ne candidate whould receive a majority of clecterial votes—in this case 266— the Heuse of Representatives shall pioceed to ballot for President. The choice is icutricted to the three can- didates whe have received the highest number ef veten in the electorial cel- lege, aud the voting Is by states. That is Kansas, Missouri, New Yoth, Khede Inland, each casts one yute, A majority of the representatives fiom a xtate determine how {ts vote shall be cast, Tor election a candidate must recelve the vote of a majority of the states, | The electors will meet on the rece ‘ond Monday in January, ang Coa- 'greas will count the votes on the sec- ond Wednesday in February, Should ‘there be no election the two houses jately, the House for President, the | Senate for vice-president., Now it isatie. The line up is as follows: WILSON, jOPPOSITION, Alabama. iCalifornia {Arizona. Connecticut, Atkansas. «© (Deleware, Colorado, iidaho, Vlorida, Minis, Georgia, ilowa, Indiana, Kansas Kentucky. :Massachusetts. Louisiana. [Michigan. Maryland. {Minnesota. ‘Mississippi. iMontana, Missourl, jNevada, New Jersey. |New Hamshire. New York. {North Dakota. North Carolina, {Oregon. Ohio, Oregon, Oklahoma. Utah. South Carolina. |Vermont. Tennessee. |Washington. Texas, i Wisconsin. Virginia. jWyoming. Total—22, | Total—z2, ‘The four remaining states, Maine, Nebraska, New Mexico and Rhode Is. land, are evenly divided. To be elected, one of the candidates would have to win three of the evenly di- videg states, The choice is restricted to the two candidates having the larg: est number of electoral votes—in this case, presumably, to Johnson and Marshall—and a majority of the sen- ators, or forty-nine would be required te elect. The Senate includes Republicans, 50; Democrats, 44; vacancies, 2, The vacancies, which are from Illinois and Colorado, would presumably be fitled In January by the election of one Republican and one Democrat. So the Republican would have a majori- ty. But there are enough standpat- ters, who doubtless would refuse to vote, to prevent either candidate re- ceiving a mafority of the whole num- ber of senators. In that event there would be no election and the Secretary of State, Mr. Knox, would become acting Pres- ident after March 4, under the law of the presidential succession. Under this law he is required to convene Congress in special session, giving twenty days’ notice. Congress, con- vening March 20, would then provide for another election, the date to be fixed at its discretion, but probably within a few months, If no candidate should get 2 ma- jority of electoral votes in the No- vember election, the chances are that Mr. Knox would be acting President after March 4, and that there would be another presidential campaign and election next year. rae VU alate IRON ele ArT THROUGH TRAIN SERVICE BETWEEN TOPEKA — AND — FORT SCOTT, PITTSBURG, WEBE CITY AND JOPLIN Leave Topeka at 9:00 a. m.

Mr. Albert Ross, of Kansas City, Kansas, who recently went to Ann Arbor, Mich, to attend the Michigan University Law school writes us as follows: "This is a most beautiful place, thirty-seven miles from Detroit. The people treat you so kindly. You get equal accommodations at schools, churches, theatres and at even some well patronized barbershops. Michigan U., is a great school; 5,000 students, 343 teachers, 50 large buildings. There are fifty colored young men; no colored girls attend any department. Many Japanese, fifty Chinese and Europeans, Danes, Swiss, etc. It is a great human molting pot for elimination of race prejudice. In the law department are 898 students, 112 teachers and two lady teachers of law. In the freshman class going in with me are 300 "green men." Every year 1,000 students graduate. Michigan University has the greatest number of senators and representatives, state and Federal judges than any other school in the world. The contact, the attrition of minds and the lasting friendships which the Michigan spirit cements throughout life are the gains to be prized here among these future leading men of America and the world. Manly qualities proven by test win the way here, not color, not pull, not clothes nor money." Mr. D. M. Ferry, the Detroit millionaire seedman, has written Ross a letter of encouragement.

Johnson UNDERTAKER AND FUNERAL Private Chapel in Connection Open Day and Night Paola, Kansas The New Fragrant MAKING THE LITTLE FARM PAY --- TO grasp the idea of money making through selecting the better types of live stock farmers need to learn the story of Banastine Belle de Kol, queen of the dairy world. This Holstein cow, now five years old and owned by Dimmick & Bro, Ohio breeders, produced last year 27,194 pounds of milk testing 380 per cent fat. This means over nine gallons of milk per day, or enough to supply thirty-six farm lilies each with a quart of milk daily. If made into butter her fat production would equal 1,322 pounds of butter, or over three and one half pounds per day for 365 days. This is all the more remarkable be cause it was made without her being dry at all before freshening. No other cow has ever produced such an enormous amount of butter fat in a yearly test, and only one has exceeded Banostine's milk record. Banostine Belle De Kol is a strong, vigorous cow of wonderful capacity and weighs in the neighborhood of 1,600 pounds. She is the daughter of Banostine Belle, who was a granddaughter of Euphrasia A., one of the greatest foundation cows the breed has ever produced. The sister of Banostine Belle De Kol is I'lend Hengerveld De Kol Butter Boy. During the time that Banostine Belle De Koi was in the test she received nearly if not all the time more or less enslage and alfalfa. When available she received roots and mixed grain ration, the foundation of which was bran oats. She was also fed some dried DESTRUCTIVE APPLE PEST. Lesser Worm Continues Its Evil Work Even on Fruit in Barrels. In a bulletin on insects which do serious damage to the apple the United States department of agriculture treats of the lesser apple worm. The larvae, it says, do not reach full development as early in the fall as those of the coiling moth and may find their way to barrels with the fruit, where they continue to feed, often doing considerable damage. The picture illustrates apples thus injured as found in barrels in the Washington market, in New York city. The lesser apple worm is probably a native insect, and it infests other fruits, wild and cultivated, including Photograph by United States department of agriculture INJURY BY LESNER APPLE WORMS TO APPLES AFTER HARVIFLING. apples, haws, plums, prunes, cherries, penches and species of cratneugus. It has also been reared from the black knot of plum and from galls on oak and elm. Its life history and habits probably parallel those of the codling moth. It is known to be present quite generally in orchards from Canada south to Georgia and west to the Rocky mountains. It has been found abundantly in apples in the Pugat sound district in Washington and is known also from British Columbia. The schedule of treatments recommended for the coding tooth will be effective in the control of his species The treatment for the treating man is limited almost entirely to spraying the trees with arsenicals, such as patigreen or arsenate of lead. The latter is now principally used. In the east the poison is usually combined with a fungicide. In some sections building of trees is also employed and under special conditions is a valuable addition to spraying. From two to five spray applications are given, according to the section of the country and the season. Of all treatments the first is in the most important. This is given as soon as the blossoms have fallen and has for its object the placing of poison in the calyx cup of each little apple. This treatment may be successfully given during the eight or ten days between the dropping of the petals and the closing of the calyx lobes. Onions to keep well must be stored in a cool and dry place. A little freezing does not necessarily hurt them if they are not exposed to frequent freezing and thawing. Every farmer should get enough pigs to make his own meat next winter. Raccoon is apt to be high, and those who are raising crops to buy their supply are likely to regret it. The best plan is to raise your own meat and have plenty of feed to finish the porkers. Farm and Ranch By C. C. BOWSFIELD best palm, especially when fresh roots were not available. Her grain ration from the first was gradually increased to twenty five pounds or a little more, but later reduced to as low as nine pounds per day. As near as can be estimated, the average amount of grain fed was twelve or fourteen pounds daily. She also received, when it was available, green corn with the stalks and also green clover and any other green feed that might be available, including feed from the pasture. A cow of fair qualities produces four gallons of milk daily. She is not worth keeping for a dairy unless she will do this, and remember it takes no more feed, room or labor for one giving five gallons than for one giving three or four. This reasoning applies with equal force to other kinds of stock, but more particularly horses and swine. It requires only a little intelligent care in selection to raise a horse that will bring $250 to $700, whereas $150 to $200 is the price of an ordinary animal. The feed bill is not a dollar more. In raising rows breeding and selection will produce animals that will earn $100 to $150 a year or that will sell for $100 to $700, while the indifferent kind are worth next to nothing. There is the same difference in breeding hogs. The gain comes chiefly after the owner has produced something a little better than ordinary. This truth applies to poultry, fruit and farming generally. TWO WAYS WITH HOGS. Cars Taken With Animals Repaid Owner In Amount of Pork Yielded. The results of different treatments of hogs came to my notice last spring, when a neighbor sold two average pigs eight weeks old to a man who did not have any other hogs, says a West Virginia correspondent of the American Agriculturist. He bought the two hogs to make pork the next fall and, of course, wanted to give them a good chance to do their best. They were fed wheat middlings, milk and scraps from the table, in addition to the pasture they gathered. They were grade Chester Whites, farrowed in April. These two pigs dressed between 150 and 175 pounds each when about seven months old. The pigs that had not been sold and out of the same litter were allowed to run on pasture, and when corn was ready to feed they were fed enough corn to put them in pork condition, but when slaughtered at about the same time as the other two they only weighed sixty five to seventy pounds each. There was a difference of nearly 160 pounds between these well fed hogs and their mates not so fed, and it was wholly due to different treatments. It is easy to see which was the more economical pork producer—the well cared for hog or the one which got enough feed to barely live until fattening time. The difference in value was almost $10, as pork sold at 10 cents a pound here last fall. The two well cared for hogs did not eat near $10 worth of feed from the time they were separated from their mates until they were slaughtered. Toss these aggravating rocks from the wagon track before the freeze up or you may just count on jolting over them all winter long. It Frightens Them. Do your chickens or your neighbor's fly over your picket fence into your garden? If so, mail a little step to your neighbor's fence into your n little strip to cach post and stretch a white twine string about six or eight inches above the top of the pickets. The same plan will ```markdown ``` apply to woven wire fencing. A white twine string stretched along each panel of fence has all the horrors of the inquisition for a bon, and she will feel tively avoid it. The sketch will give you the idea AA strips, B strings.—A. G. Humphreys. Little Farm Hints. Never mix sun slaked lime with manure, as it will cause the escape of ammonia, one of its most valuable occurrents. Clean out the chaff and hayseed on the barn floor and scatter it over large places in the lots and pastures. This scattered wood represents good manure value, and it should be put in a pore. If you want to push for use in early spring, at the time when dauncey grasses are tipe, sow seed in September or October. Frequently it does not winter well, especially if not protected by covering lightly with litter. Where practicable the fruit on hardshould be planted in autumn. Among the principal advantages are leisure time, better physical condition of soil and the early establishment and consequent chiller growth of trees. Owing to its less hardy nature the pear is to be excaped from the fall planting. 933 Kansas Avenue. Everything in Season. THE CUT RATE MARKET.
