The Leading Democratic Paper!
WEST OF THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER

V,HE UNPRECEDENTED SUCCESS
L will, which the Times has met, since
it's establishment, is convincing evil
dcnce that the people OF the West and
South fully appreciate the efforts of a
journal. which, in addition to its cn-
terprise as anewspaper: has the cour-
age to boldly declare and constantly
maintain the principles Of its political
faith. 81 fia tts.1F Is
The public journal most deserving
of Democratic support is the one that,
in addition to being a full and faithful
medium of general news, is also a firm
and consistent advocate of Democratic
principles. A Democratic newspaper
is the newspaper for Democrats to
support, aud the idea sometimes sought
to he incalculated by those who have
an interest of their own in doing so,
that the people must go outside their
party organs til "lintl the news" is alb
surd and irrational. There is no sort
of incompatibility whatever between
the political and non-political journal
as to the matter of news many OF the
papers now published throughout the
country, and especially valuable for
tile amount and variety Of their intel
ligence, being also known for the abll-
| ity and earnestness with which they
champion their peculiar party views.
Hence all things else being equal, it is
manifestly the duty of Democrats to
limit their newspaper patronage to
such as are of their own way Of think
ing and not to squander their means on
those that wage constant warfare upon
their established convictions.
= It is our desire to see the TIMES ii,
the hands of all Democrats, and every
we'll wisl,er of the government through
out the land, and in order that this
may be done, we are now offering the
following extraordinary inducements
to those who will interest themselves
and act in the capacity of club agents
for the TIMES throughout the country.
These rates for subscriptions and the

How TO BURY RoOTs.-Says cotem.
porary: There is one way of burying
roots so that the frost will not get at
them, and that is the placing of layers of
earth with which they are covered. 1t
is necessary to be more careful with po-
tatoes than with other roots, as they will
not stand the slightest frost without be-
ing injured. Potatoes should be laid in
compact heaps and covered carefully
with straw. Over the straw put about
eight inches of earth. Frost will go
through almost any thickness of earth
alone, but will not penetrate far below
the non-conducting straw. The earth
should not be packed harder than will
suffice to keep it in place. BY using
straw and earth combined, time is saved
in uncovering when the roots are wanted
to he got at. Ifthe snow is blown from
the heaps during the winter, and the
cold is very intense, it will be we'll to
cover them with coating of coarse ma
nure.

Cure for . FeiOn.

We warn our readers against paying
attention to any newspaper paragraph in
reference to health or disease, unless the
name of the writer is attached. There is
a scientific cure for felon, always safe,
always efficacious, believed instantane-
Gus and always sure: Get physician
to plunge his lancet down to the bone.
A natural felon is born thief; physi-
ologic felon is a boil between the bone
and sinew, or "fascia," as the doctors
love to talk. When a boil is under the
shin only it is painful enough until it
breaks; bur When it is remembered that
the sinew is much tougher than the skin,
it is easy to see that the pain of boil
under the sinew is more terrible than
one under the skin, and that it must
take longer to make its way through the
skin: hence instead of passing many
sieepless nights and agonizing days in
waiting for the matter to be absorbed or
make its way through the tough tendon
the educated surgeon advises the use of
the lancet as above, for the cure is Just
as certain, and the relief from agonizing
pain is just a. instantaneous, as in the
case of the extraction af an aching tooth.
the cause of feion is usually 6ruise
of the finger heavy enough to reach down
to the bone and to infanc it.-HrEs

Death N q DishclOth.

A lady says in the Rural World, tina,
during this month and next, when some
Of you are sure to be down with the ty.
Phoid fever; when neighbors are neglec.
ting their own work to nurse you; when
the doctors are hunting in cellars and
old drains for the cause, let me whisper
in your ears-look to your dishcleths.
If they are black and stiff and smell like
a "boneyard," it is enough-throw them
in the fire, and henceforth and forever
wash your dishes with cloths that are
white, cloths that you can see through,
and see if you ever have that disease
AGAR. There are sometimes other causes
but l have smelled a whole houseful of
typhoid fever in one "dishrag." 1 had
some neighbors once-clever, good sort
of folks; one fall four of them were sick
at one time with typhoid fever. The
doctors ordered the vinegar barrels
whitewashed, and threw about forty
cents worth of carbolic acid in the swill
pail and departed. 1 went into the
kitchen to make gruel-I needed dish
cloth and looked about and found sever
al, and such "ragsw 1 burned them all
and called the daughter of the house to
get me a dishcloth. She looked around
on the tables: "Why," said she, "there
was about a dozen here this morning :"
and she: looked in the woodbox and on
the mantlepiece, and felt in the dark
corner Of the cupboard. "Well," said,
II saw some old, black, rotten rags
lying round and burned them, for there
is death in such dishcloths as those, and
you must never use such again" /
"took turns" at nursing that family four
weeks and l believe those dirty dish
cloths were the cause of all that hard
work. Therefore, 1 say to every house
keeper, keep yourdishcloths clean. You
may wear your dresses without ironing.
your sun-bonnets without elastics-but
you must keep your dishcloths clean.
You may only comb your head on Sun
days, you need not wear collar, unless
you 60 from home-but you must wash
your dishcloth. You may only sweep
the floor "when the sign gets right" the

COOP YEAsT-UNFAILING RECIPE
Cut 2 pounds of pared potatoes, put them
in large saucepan, pour over them 2
quarts of water and boil. before the pota-
toes are sufficiently cooked add good
heavy half ounce of hops, tied up in a
very thin cotton bag. Of hops boil too
long they make the bread very bitter.)
In a large kitchen bowl, put pound of
sifted -four, 2 large heaping tablespoon
fuls of white sugar, l large heaping ia
blespoonful of SALT. and tablespoonful
of ground ginger. When the potatoes
are soft enough to mash through a col
ander, put the hop bag into pitcher,
and pour over it all the potato and hop
water; pour one quart of the boiling po-
tato and hop water over the -four, etc,
and give it good mixing then mash
the potatoes through colander into it,
using the second quart of boiling potato
and hop water to soften the potatoes
through the colander. If you do not
have 2 quarts of potato and hop water,
pour some boiling water over the hop
bag, and squeeze. The flour must be
thoroughly cooked with the boiling hop
water, and you must mix it we'll, and
RIB it smooth of all Jumps. To prevent
the yeast chilling too soon, have the big
bowl, pitcher, and yeast crock heated
before using. 1t should never he thin
ner than will just pour, but if you think
it necessary you can use a little more
than the . quarts Of hop water-two
quarts are generally sufficient. Place
the colander over the yeast crock, and
strain your yeast into it. Many do not
think this necessary, and only mix it in
their yeast crock. When a little more
than iukewarn add large cofee-cupful
of yeast, stir it frequently, and keep in
moderately warm place Tor "a hours,
then put it in the closest and darkest
part of the cellar. Use a two or three
gallon earthen crock, (tin, glass, or
stoneware chill too soon), with a lid
fitting well to the Country Gentle

A Warm Bed For Pigs.

To make hog profitable you should
not let him ever see winter; and we
think We have satisfied ourselves that
spring pigs, we'll kept and nursed, are
far less expensive, and yield more in
return for their keep than those which
are fifteen or eighteen months old.
Every observant farmer knows that il
his cattle are not sheltered from the cold
weather and storms, they will require
much more food to keep them in tOlera
BILE order, than if they were kept warm
and comfortable. Just so it is with pigs
If they are suffered to run over your
premises in the snow and sleet, without
a warm and dry bed of clean straw t.
resort to when they choose, they will 70,
only. in all probability, come out with
mango in the spring, but every grun,
they give will convince you that all the
food they have devoured has been thrown
away; for shoats that have a cold, damp,
comfortless bed, will get mspgy. and
NANCY pigs cannot grow.
Let any one who has mind to try
the experiment, take two pigs of the
same litter, suffering the one to run as
above, and let the other be well housed
and we'll fed, and it will be found that
the superior growth of the latter will
pay for the care bestowed upon him with
good interest. Hogs that are confined,
and cannot get to the earth, will fire.
quently be benefited by having little
charcoal, soft bricksats, or soft rotten
wood thrown into them; and trifiing
quantity of birthstone mixed in their
food occasionally, is an excellent thing.

SMOKING HAMs.-Where smoking is
practiced on large scale, house adap-
ted for the purpose should be erected.
a very good substitute is obtained by
means of an empty sugar hogshead. In
the inside bottom fix sufficient number
of hooks to suspend the hams. Get a
a quantity of sawdust (oak is best), lay
it on the ground in a circular form, so
that it may be covered by the hogshead.
Turn up the hogshead, so that the mouth
is on the ground. Hang up the hams on
the hooks, set fire to the sawdust, and if
a little draft OF air is required, prop the
side of the hogshead about an inch with
a small stonce. The sawdust will smoul-
der, and the ham may be used as soon as
smoked.

cember 18th, 18th and 10th proximo,
commencing Tuesday at 10 o'clock a. m.
The friends of horticulture, at home
and abroad, are invited to attend this

lating to success in this pursuit.
At no period during the existence of
our State has the Importance of an as.
sembling of the fruit growers and tree
culturists, from all sections. been so gen.
orally felt as at the present time.
The condition of orchards, vineyards,
&c, calls for the experience and prac-

Local and county societies are requested
to send delegates to represent the condi-
ton of horticulture in their respective
localities and to assist in the collection
and dissemination of useful knowledge,
reliable and valuable to the future work
of successfully developing this branch of
industry so important to the comfort and
wealth of the people OF our State.
The citizens of Manhattan have gen.
erously offered free accommodations to
all visitors during the meeting, and the
Kansas Pacific, Atchison, Topeka & San

The Christian Union.

In announcing his intentions concern
ing the specific editorial management Of
the Christian Union for the coming year,
Mr.. Beecher says:
"With change in the business organ.
ization, I propose to take far more &C.
tive part, and TO make the paper my own
in more important sense than ever it
has been. I shall consider it a parish
parallel with Plymouth Church, and shall
give it the same earnest zeal that 1 gave
to that; the same spirit, and the same
life and disposition"
In addition to this exclusive editorial
work, the paper will be the only author
lied medium for the publication of Mr..
BEECHER's SERMONS, delivered in
Plymouth Church, and also of all his
literary productions, including a new
series of the brilliant Star Papers. Rev.
EDWARD EVERETT HALE, author of "a
Man without Country" &C., HENRY
CHURToN Judge Tourgee, of North Car
olina), author of "Toinette," &c, and
Mrs. HARRIET BEECHER STOWE, will
write Serial Stories during the year.
The paper will continue to present as
great variety as possible, by the best
contributors. The several departments
will embrace the Outlook, or brief COM
ments on current events, Editorials.
Stories, Poetry, Contributed Articles on
various subjects. Reviews of Books, the
Household, the Little Folks, the Church,
and the Week, comprising the leading
news. both sacred and secular, the Sun
day-School, Inquiring Friends popular
questions and editorial answefs,) Upper
most Topics, Farm and Garden, and
Financial. 1t is, in brief, comprehen-
sive family religious newspaper.
The Christian Union was among the
first to offer picture premiums as
a means of attracting the public to the
merits of its literary contents. This
feature was never intended to be per-
manent. 1t was simply another form of
and attained its desired
object. In accordance with the original
intention, it now discontinues The pic
ture premiums, and relies upon the
merits of the paper for a continuance of
public favor.
For the small sum of 1920 per year,
(Which includes the prepayment of post
age at the mailing instead of the receiv-
ing office as heretofore), the subscriber
receives fifty-twO numbers of the Chris
tan Union, or 1913 pages. comprising not
less than tpo thousand three hundred and
Eight columns Of reading matter in one year
which, if issued in book form, would cost
the subscriber over ten times the sub
scription price of the paper.
To agents is offered. in addition to a
cash commission on each subscription,
premiums in cash to those
sending the highest lists. Full particu-
lars in respect to agencies will be sent on
application to Horatio C. King, Assist
and Publisher, No. 81 Park Place. n. Y
