The OocMmeirat
That Made "
American :
Freemenn
ONGRI5SS in 177C hat
put Into the hands o
John Adams n n i
Thomas Jefferson the
drafting of the Declara
tlon of Independence
writes Fullerton L
Waldo in the Phlla
dolphia Ledger. The
two collaborators had
a clear idea of the or
tides of which the Dec
laration was to consist , for there had
been prolonged discussions in com
mittee , of which careful notes were
taken. The little sub-committee of
two men mot and conferred together ,
and Jefferson asked Adams to take
the written memoranda to his lodg
ings and there prepare the draft.
flut Adams , self-cffaclngly , Insisted
that the laborious honor should fall to
his colleague.
'You are a Virginian , " said Adams ,
"and I am a Massachusetts man. You
ara a southerner and 1 'am from the
north ; I have been so obnoxious for
my early and constant zeal In promo
ting the measure that any draft of
mine would undergo a more severe
scrutiny and criticism In congress than
one of your composition. And finally
and that would bo reason enough if
thmro were no other I have a great
opinion of the elegance of your pen
and none at all of my own. "
Whereupon , bowing deeply and with
protestations of mutual regard , the
patriots wont their several ways , Jef
ferson with the manuscript under his
arm. And In a day or two they mot
again and "conn'd the paper over. "
"I was delighted with Its high tone , "
Adams wrote In 1822 to Timothy Pick
ering. But to the part containing the
denunciation of King George ho took
exception. "I thought the expression
too passionate and too much llko scoldIng -
Ing for so grave and solemn a docu
ment. " Nevertheless , ho had no
amendment to suggest , and the draft
1 go down In history alongside of Paul
Rovere's and Philip Sheridan's. In default
fault of missing dotnll the Imagination
must provide the picture of the tall ,
gaunt spectre of a man , half-masked
and riding llko a demon , urging hie
steed onward through the night with
whip and spur , along a road abounding
In pitfalls , with black miles separating
ono warm , yellow cabin light from the
next. What won ho thinking of as ho
rode onward ? Not of the pain of the
cancer , slowly eating away hln counte
nance and sapping bin vitality ; not of
the risk ho ran , a solitary horseman ,
of being waylaid and robbed or mur
dered upon the lonely Journey. He
hooded not the hunger and the sleep
lessness ; ho was thinking only of the
fact that his vote would turn the day
for Delaware ; Delaware , though a lit
tle state , might Influence Pennsylva
nia , and so the vote of the colonies
would bo unanimous for a declaration
that would Immortalize the men who
made and signed it , and enfranchise
the people of the 13 colonies and their
descendants.
Next day , Thursday. July 4 , as the
members wore assembling at the state
house door , a rider , booted and spurred
and covered with the dust of night-
and-day travel , dismounted In their
midst , and when , a little later , Caesar
Ilodnoy rose in his place , still breath
ing hard , and said , "I vote for Inde
pendence , " the result was that the vote
of Delaware was cast In favor of the
declaration , Pennsylvania , by three of
her five delegates present , supported
Delaware's action , and thus by the ride
of Rodney the unanimous vote of the
colonies ( with the solitary and tem
porary exception of Now York ) was
that day secured for the Magna Charta
of our American liberties.
"It was two o'clock in the after
noon , " Losslng tells us , "when the
final decision was announced by Secretary -
rotary Thomson. Whoii the secretary

of the declaration was put before the
committee of five Just as Jefferson
had prepared It.
The desk upon which the declara
tion was drafted la in the library ot
the Btato department at Washington.
It was exhibited at Buffalo in the Pan-
American exposition In 1901.
The llnal debate In congress , in the
committee of the whole , upon the
adoption of the Declaration of Inde
pendence began at nine o'clock on
Monday , July 1. On that day Pennsyl
vania , seven of whoso delegates were
present , voted against adoption. The
vote of Delaware , having two dele
gates present , was divided.
Thereupon McKean of Delaware ,
who had voted affirmatively , wrote a
frantic letter to the absent Delaware
delegate , Caesar Rodney. Imploring
him to come and cast his vote , and
thus turn the scale for Delaware , for
It was highly probable that If Dela
ware supported the declaration Penn
sylvania would follow suit.
Rodney at the tlmo was 80 miles
away , at Dover , at ono or the other of
his farms , Byflold and Poplar Grove.
Ho suffered tortures from the cancer ,
which , starting on his nose , had spread
1 all over ono sldo of his face , so that
ho had to wear a green silk shlold to
hldo the disfigurement ; It was of this
chronic affliction that ho died. A con
temporary chronicle describes him as
"an animated skeleton Indeed , all
spirit , without corporeal integument. "
McKean's messenger loft Philadel
phia late In the afternoon of July 1. It
was necessary to got Rodney back to
Independence hall by July 4 , the day
appointed for taking the vote upon the
adoption of the declaration. All night ,
nil day ho rode at top apeed ; and Rod

the corn In the silo was 4C cents per
ton and the highest 8C cents.
In regard to partnership arrangements -
ments among the farmers the bulletin
says : "Tho high cost of machinery for
cutting silage and the difficulty In
procuring help prevent many farmers
from building silos. It is highly Impor
tant to be able to get an outfit when it
s' needed. An early frost or a spell of
hot , dry weather may , HO affect the
crop that it is necessary to illl the silo
several days before the usual time ,
for this season a man should own his
cutter and engine , especially If
enough silage Is cut each year to war
rant this outlay of capital. It is usu
ally easier to hire an engine than It is
i cutter. For this reason many buy
the latter and depend on being able to
rent the former when it is needed ,
riio next best arrangement to owning

DAIRYING PAYS BIG PROFITS
Requires Unremitting Attention , But
Returns Are Large and Practi
cally Sure No Holiday.
( > MIM.EU PURVIS. )
Dairying is a confining business to
be sure. It requires dally attention
and the work must be done with regu
larity , each duty requiring attention
nt practically the same hour , week
if tor week , rain or shine , Sunday ,
Fourth of July and Thanksgiving.
It IP this everlasting routine that
prevents a great many from taking up
dairying as n regular part of the farm
work. It Is the American distaste for
being bound down and hedged in that
keeps the dairy part of our farm work
very milch In the background.
Notwithstanding this undesirable
phase of dairying , it has some advan
tages which producing grain , hay or
live stock for market have not.
it Is a business on which the oper-
iitor Is able to count without much
lunger of having his plans miscarry
an account of wet or dry weather ,
aarly or late frosts , or any other of
the things which so often mar the
projects of the most careful husband
man.

With a little forethought the dairy-
nan may be as free from worry about
ho weather as any other man living.
Mow high or blow low the cows come
ome and the consuming public Is
eady to take all the butter that Is
n'oduced , or the creamery or cheese
octory Is waiting to weigh in the

This is another advantage. The
Ive stock breeder must wait two ,
hree or live years for his cattle to
et in shape for market , the swine
breeder gets his money only once a
oar and the sheepman Is likely to
iave his profits knocked away by
arlff agitation or a big crop of wool

Empires may fall and nations dls-
