METTLE OF JAMES S. HAVENS
Congressman Who Defeated George
W. Aldridge In Rochester, N. Y.
James S. Havens, Democrat, of
Rochester, N. Y., who has just been
elected to congress to succeed the late
James Breck Perkins in Monroe coun
ty, N. Y., over George W. Aldridge by
a majority of 5,831 votes. Is a lawyer
and a former partner of the late Con
gressman James Breck Perkins, whom
he succeeds. He was horn in Weeds
port, Cayuga county, N. Y., in 1859.
lie was graduated from Yale in ISB4.
He went to Rochester Immediately aft
er graduation, was admitted to the bar
in 1880 and has practiced law in
Rochester ever since. Although active
in Democratic politics, he has never be
fore held public office. He is regarded
as a typical Democrat of the “old
school.”
One tliiug that happened during the
elecliou showed the mettle of James
S. Havens. He is a little man physi
cally, although you forget that when
he begins to talk on the platform.
But the platform to most campaign
ers is one thing and the street where
the voters are mustered in is another.
'VHHE jHft b
JAMES S. HAVENS.
Not so with Havens, as Peter Sheri
dan, tlie alleged Democratic lender of
the First ward in Rochester, discover
ed. Sheridan lias remained leader of
thut ward, although known to have
Aldridge affiliations, because nobody
could he obtained who promised nny
better. When the battle of the ballots
was at its height at the polling place
by the courthouse word came to Mr.
Havens that no Democratic workers
with badges were in sight.
He jumped on a car and started for
Sheridan’s place of business, found
his man and Insisted tliut he go over
to the courthouse.
“Now, Sheridan,” demanded Mr. Ha
vens, “are you for me or against me , ”
“Why,” faltered the big fellow, “I’m
for you.”
“Well,” replied Havens, “they tell me
me. ami it’s Up to
a! i "It/I 1 haven’t l?” ■ -
“Very well,”
you put a badge on every one of these
fellows here and see that they stay on
their Jobs.”
No Toadying.
Among the good old ways of “merrle
England” Is the tendency to democracy
prevailing in her hoys’ schools. Par
ents can he assured, it is said, that no
pampering will fall to the lot of their
sons, however exalted may be their
rank or great their possessions. An
English paper tells the story of an
Indian official of high rank calling
upon the house master in a famous
public school, where a young prince,
son of a rajah, was being educated.
This official brought a special message
from his master, the rajah, to the ei
feet that he wanted no favors or ex
ceptlonal treatment A any sort ex
tended to his son on account of bis ex
alted birth.
“You may set the mind of the rajah
at rest on that score,” said the house
master, struggling to keep back his
smile before the dignified anxiety of
the Indian official. “If the authorities
were Inclined to discriminate in the
prince’s favor, the boys of the school
would set the matter right. Among
them generally the rajah’s son an
swers to the name of ‘Nigger,’ and I
understand that with his Intimates he
is familiarly known as ‘Coal Scuttle.’"
Holland, known as North and South
Holland, forms part of the northern
part of the Netherlands. These prov
inces are composed of land rescued
from the sea and defended by Im
mense dikes. Holland was Inhabited
by the Batvi in the time of Caesar,
who made a league with them. It be
came part of Gallia Belglca and after
ward of the kingdom of Austria. From
the tenth to the fifteenth century it
was governed by counts under the
German emperors. Holland was at
one time a Dutch* republic. It was
created a kingdom in 1809, and Louis
Bonaparte, father of Napoleon 111.,

BEEKEEPING ON FARMS.
If Given Half a Chance Bees Yield
Good Profits.
As to whether it will pay the aver
age farmer to keep bees ami produce
honej on his place I would say that
will depend somewhat on circum
stances. writes-J. \V. Rouse ot Au
drain county. Mo. I ant sure it would
pay any horticulturist to keep bees
even if lie never got any honey from
them, as they are a great aid in caus
ing the fertilization of fruit bloom.
Many times one can secure some sur
plus honey from bees kept in gums
or boxes, but it bees are kept in mod
ern Improved movable frame hives,
rightly attended to, they pay an im
mense profit. In fact, I know of noth
ing on a place that will yield as good
a profit ns bees, as one not only gets
the benefit of them in fruit growing,
but sometimes they yield 200 pounds
per colony of honey. I have had them
do this in three different seasons, and
many have done better than that, in
cluding some kept by Illinois farmers

and others. Of course It takes an
expert to do so well, but wbut one
can do others may do In like circum
stances. No one need get the idea be
cause he doeß not know how to handle
bees like an expert that he cannot do
anything, because if the bees are given
half a chance they may do pretty well
anyway.
I know of no reason why bees would
not do well on any place where fruit
is grown. Of course bees do not de
pend on fruit growing to secure a
crop of honey, but it Is a great aid
to them in early spring (to stimulate
them and get them started to raising
young bees) to have a large number
of them to gather the nectar a little
come.
wluHff™ U a- goOd place
for bees. “
To get the best results from bees, in
securing honey after putting them in
movable frame hives and having the
combs so built that the beekeeper can
remove these combs and thus know all
about the condition of his bees, re
move moths if they should get Into
the. hives, divide the bees when ueces
sary or add them up if necessary and
make a great many manipulations.
The beekeeper should give them the
great benefit ot comb foundation to
start on, which not only secures
straight combs in tbe frames, but also
keeps the bees from building so much
dr oe comb, which they will do if left
to hemselves.
Variegated Alfalfas.
Within recent years alfalfa has
forged to the front as a forage plant
in the United States with extraordi
nary rapidity. In fact, it may now be
considered one of our most important
crop plants. It is grown to some ex
tent in all sections, but it is only in
the western half of the country that
it takes rank as a leading forage Crop.
In most parts of the west the ordinary
alfalfa appears to be well adapted to
prevailing conditions, but for localities
where drought resistance is Important
and along our northern border, where
ability to stand extremes of cold is
essential, it has been found very de
sirable to secure Improved strains.
The species of alfalfa ordinarily
grown bears violet colored flowers,
and its seed pods are colled into close
spirals. Persia was probably the orig
inal home of this species. There is,
however, another species of alfalfa
growing wild in Siberia and through
out the greater part of Europe which
bears yellow flowers and whose seed
pods are sickle shaped. The prostrate
stems and poor seed bearing qualities
of this species are obstacles to Its use
as a forage plant, it Is, however, very
drought resistant and is able to stand
very low temperature without winter
killing.
Where the yellow flowered alfalfa
grows alongside Helds of ordinary al
falfa there is a tendency for the spe
cies to cross and produce hybrids com
bining some of the qualities of both
species and bearing !m>tli vi let and
yellow flowers. In this way have been
naturally produced variegated varie
ties which are better adapted to stand
extremes of cold than ordinary alfalfa.
Variegated varieties, though possess
ing only 5 to 10 per cent of the yellow
flowered parentage, are greatly su
perior for rigorous northern climates.
WHY CORN IS KING.
Facts Showing Enormous Output of
the Cornfields In America.
While corn is conceded to lie the
leading crop of America it is doubtful
if even the largest corn growers real
ize the extent of its production If nli
the corn raised in Illinois in 19tW had
been shipped to market it would have
made 39.540 trains of twenty cars each,
extending in one unbroken line from
Portland. Me., to a point in the Pacific
ocean 1.000 miles west of San Fran
cisco, or two unbroken lines extending
from New York to Salt Lake Pity.
If nil the corn raised in Illinois in
1909 had been marketed at the price
prevailing in December it would have
brought 5201.517.250, an amount suffi
cient to pay the public debts of sev
enteen of the largest cities in America,
ns follows: Chicago. Baltimore. Cin
cinnati. Detroit, Indianapolis, Kansas
City, Los Angeles. Louisville, Minne
apolis, Galveston, New Orleans, Pitts
burg, San Francisco. Seattle. Salt Lake
City. St. I.ouls and Washington.
If nil the corn raised in Illinois in
1909 had been exported it would have
supplied the European demand for
seven years. Had the European ex
port for one year only been taken from
the Illinois output there would have
remained corn enough to allow sixty
bushels for every man. woman and
child in the state, or three and one
half bushels for every man, woman
and child of the 85.000.000 people in
the United States today.
Yet Illinois is not alone. There are
twenty-four other states each of which
produces more than 15.000.000 bushels
of corn each year and eight others
whose Individual output each year is
In excess of 100.000.000 bushels. No
wonder that corn has been crowned
king, particularly tn view of the fact,
as Secretary Wilson has figured it.
that the 1909 crop of the value of
$1,720,000,000 nearly equal to the
value of the clothing and personal
adornments of 75.000,000—“ has grown
up from the soil and out of the air In
120 days. $15,000,000 a day for one
crop, nearly enough for two Dread
noughts dally for peace or wnr.”
The gold and silver coin and bullion
of the United States are not of greater
value. The total annual receipts from
every source of every mile of railroad
In the United States are not greater.
The public debt of the nation could be
paid off by two years' corn crops and
enough money be left to build, arm
and equip 100 battleships the like of
which the world has never seen. If
put on tbe market In the aggregate,
to buy one year's corn crop would re
—wire every cent of the total gold and
fMRr money of Germany and Austria-
EBUpgary, while the proceeds divided
pet’ capita would give S2O to every
: liti. woman and child In the United
States today.
