PUBLISHER’S DESK 
While we are waiting for Dawlcy to 
come into court, interest in the cattle 
case grows in size like a snowball. There 
has been no public farm question in the 
past 50 years that lias created such a 
discussion. 'The letters are pouring in 
upon Governor Hughes from all over. 
Some go him with a hroadax, others 
come armed with a pitchfork, while 
others use the razor of sarcasm. Here 
is a sample reply to that circular letter: 
lion. 10. Hughes.—Last week a neigh¬ 
bor ami myself went to lown to purchase 
some silk. Being unfamiliar with the 
different makes we asked that an expert 
might serve us at Moneywnker’s store, 
lie was an expert salesman and we bought, 
paid for and brought home with us 20 
yards each of a well-known silk brand. To 
our dismay we found we had instead a 
damaged and Inferior cotton goods. Re¬ 
turning the goods, personally, to Mr. 
M'oneywaker til great expense of money and 
time, and Indignantly demanding that Ills 
agent refund our money and he discharged, 
we were met with greal courtesy and 
suavity, and told that, no doubt, the clerk, 
as soon as he heard of our demand and as¬ 
persions, would institute a libel suit; that 
he, Mr. Moneywaker, would advise that 
course as best for all parties, and that he, 
himself, must he very careful to arouse no 
prejudice In the minds of patrons of the 
house. And so, smiling and bowing and 
bowing and smiling, we find ourselves on 
the pavement, with no money, with 20 
yards of damaged cotton and Hie prospect 
(?) of it libel suit—and, if possible, pray 
let us know, Governor Hughes, where we 
are at, anyway. With thanks for the 
courtesy of your secretary’s reply, I 
am, a. ,r. n 
One can hardly blame the Governor’s 
secretary for not seeing the humor of 
this note, for this correspondence is 
getting to be a tragedy. At any rate, 
this was all the answer he made: 
Dear Sir. -Governor Hughes directs me 
to acknowledge the receipt, of your letter of 
the 22d lust. It Is impossible for him 
to advise you in the matter of which you 
speak. You should consult a member of 
the Bar. Very truly yours, 
itOBKItT II. FIIM.KB, 
Secretary to the Governor. 
Here is another letter—a fair type of 
hundreds which come lo us: 
Now I, for one, am very fond of the 
little Jersey cow, for I keep her. Anything 
that maligns her hurls me also, and I am 
glad (here Is some one honest enough in the 
land to warn to see Hie papers fit the cow. 
Again, I am glad there is some one big 
enough lo talk back to the Governor, and 
I hope you will keep at it till you make 
him see things as they are. I know Mr. 
Hawley; lie Is very slick and very wise 
besides, and has been one of those all- 
sufHelent sort of souls, such as is men¬ 
tioned in the Scriptures. lie has a very 
exalted position, and 1ms been very much 
looked up to at institute meetings, when he 
talked Jersey cow and her products, but a 
good deal of that prestige seems to he Hil¬ 
ling away from him just now, and here let 
me say you have got Ihe thing about right, 
and if the Governor will read Ihe writing 
on the wall lie also will steer ids bark in 
the middle of the stream, for the farm ele¬ 
ment is at the present day not to he lightly 
east aside. Nor can The Country Gentle¬ 
man cover up or smooth over lids thing so 
as to make the farmers swallow the whole 
story by a long odd. They haven’t forgot¬ 
ten as yel wind our Illustrious Lincoln said 
about fooling the people: You can fool 
part of the people pari of the, time, but 
not the whole all the time. m. m. i>. 
“Big enough to talk hack to the Gov¬ 
ernor!” It should not require great 
hulk to enable one to tell the truth. “A 
cat can look at a king,” especially when 
the cat has the right of way. The mer¬ 
est child can safely face Ihc powers of 
evil if it stand by truth and right. Wc 
firmly believe that Governor Hughes is 
wrong in the position he has taken re¬ 
garding Hawley. That belief is shared 
by thousands of the best farmers in this 
country. We consider it the privilege 
of a lifetime to stand up and express 
their views as best wc can. 
Here is another letter from Orleans 
Co., which starts a new side of the case: 
I win 800 , and it must be apparent to 
you, that Governor lliighos Is hedging on 
that Dawley matter. Like many other 
shrewd politicians who saw their mistake 
too Into, he is presuming too much on 
the Inaction or Indifference of the public. 
Why don’t you oiiIIhi the aid of the dally 
press? II appears that you are lighting 
HiIh battle alone from a publicity stand¬ 
point, hut with the aid of other influential 
papers you might lie able to turn on enough 
publicity to “smoke out” the Chief Execu¬ 
tive. That cattle case is no longer a 
private controversy between Individuals, but 
iias become an odimiH public scandal, and 
will culminate In a political issue sooner 
or later if not honestly, fearlessly adjusted. 
Wc have begun to think that the Ver¬ 
mont man on page 221 has it nearly 
right. We have made no effort to en¬ 
list the aid of daily papers. They 
would hardly touch this case except 
for political reasons. From the first 
wc have contended that it involves a 
principle which lies at the very base of 
both business farming and agricultural 
education. It is far better for farmers 
to settle it themselves, as they will 
surely do. We want no help from the 
politicians. We expected Ihe help of 
various “agriculturists,” leaders and 
educators, but they fell by the wayside, 
and the farmers are marching past them 
to do the work which requires moral 
courage themselves. . . .

Thousands of Successful Farmers Are Doing It 
There ts no charm or secret about It. 
You simply spread it witli a machine, and 
thus make it go twice as far, get twice as 
much good from tt on the first crop, do 
your land more permanent good, and save 
half the time and labor of handling. 
Manure is generally estimated to bo 
■worth 82.00 a ton handled the old way. 
There is no doubt that it is worth twice as 
much to the farmer who spreuds with a 
machine. 
Three of the most practical and valuable 
machines manufactured for farm use to¬ 
day arc the Cora King, Cloverleuf, and 
Kemp 20th Century manure spreader*. 
They are each made in a number of sizes. 
These machines differ somewhat tn 
construction and operation, but all three 
are right working and of great durability. 
They are proven machines. They em¬ 
body the best mechanical ideas, the ma¬ 
terials used in construction arc the best 
for the purpose, they are made as simple 
as possible, and they handle manure in all 
conditions to the perfect satisfaction of 
users. I’roof of all this is to be found in 
tho record each machine has made In the 
field. 
Is tt not to your Interest to own and use 
one of these spreaders on your farm? 
Figure out for yourself and you must 
agree that it will be a paying investment, 
even if you do not have over twenty-live 
loads of manure to spread in a year. 
You can’t help but be pleased with the 
work, tlie easy handling, the light draft 
and the substantial making which saves 
you the annoyance of breakage and 
repairs. 
Call and see these spreaders with the 
local International agent. I te will gladly 
point out to you the superior features of 
these machines, as well as supply you 
with catalogue, colored hanger or other 
information.
