These familiar words recall to the farmer
and others interested, the unfortunate neces-
sity OF sometimes getting rid Of Stock that
is not otherwise salable on account of blem-
ishes or imperfections. To improve upon
this method, by showing how to restore your
Stock to first-class condition, is the plan
herewith presented. The signal benefit Of
the Great German Remedy to mankind very
reasonably induced its application to the
sufferngs and ailments of the dumb crea-
ton, beginning with the Horse. People who
tried it were more than surprised by its re-
suits, as attested in the speedy and perma-
nent cure Of their Stock, and they gladly
announced their experience by word Of
mouth and by the public press, until to-day

evidence whatsoever of disease or injury
among Animals, they should have the best
possible treatment, as it never pays to de-
fer attention to Stock. 1nasmuch, then, as it
is the part of common prudence to use the
surest curative means in the beginning,
every Stable, Farm and Stock-yard should
be abundantly supplied with ST. JACOBS
OIL, which is used and recommended by
the best Horsemen In the country as an ar
ticle which will relieve more promptly and

4 USELESS CHAYGE or NAME.

II does not follow from the wore against
making the Commissioner OF Agriculture
member Of the Cabinet that the majority OF
the House fail to appreciate the magnitude
and importance of our farming interests. Ii
does not even appear from this vote that Con-
ercss would oppose any proposition TO extend
direct Government aid to agriculture.
# may be admitted that experiments
conducted by the Government on scale
more extensive than any which private
enterprise would lie willing to under
take might prove of sufficient National advan-
tage to Justify the expense. 1t may be the
duty of the Government to direct agricultural
effort into new channels, rs has been done by
Mr. lie DUES experiments i'll the production or
sugar.
But after all, whatever can be accomplished
by the Government for agriculture can be
done rs well and even better by Commits
sionrr than by Minister. Experiments
to ascertain the value of different kinds OF
fertilizers or to introduce improved methods
of tillage, or to devise mems for the destrnc-
lion of insects injurious To vegetation, or Tor

NEW RULES FOR Tue COMMONS.

The form which the Previous Question has
taken in the House of Commons Will not
shorten debates in which the two historical
parties are pitted against each other. The
new rules empower the Speaker to suggest
the prOpriety Of closing the d'bate, but Il
motion to that effect must be carried by Il
vote of three to one before a division on the
main ouestion can be ordered. The rule will
he opcrative only when a small minority is
acting In defiance Of the will of thrce-fourths
of the House. Unless the regularly organized
Opposition becomes Il weaker minority than
it has been for several generations the Gov-
eminent of the day will not be able to cut OF
debate at its own pleasure and thus make use
of the Previous Question for party ends. The
complementary rules proposed by the Speaker
in reference to motions for adjournment and
the mode of taking divisions will restrict any
tendencies toward fihbuStcrlng' as il Is
commonly practiscd III Our own House OF
Representatives.
The Previous Question is generally ordered
by a majority of National Legislature.
This is the rule III the Austrian, Hungarian,
German, French, Danish, Italian. Dutch and
United States Representatives Assemblies The
British Commons in requiring the acQuIeScence
of three to one IN the close of il debate will
not lose the distinction of guarding the rights
of minority more jcalousy than they are
protected i'll any other National Parliament.
At the same time they are giving their pre-
| siding officer Discretionary powers over debate
which he has never before exercised If the
new rules are adopted Mr.. Brand will have

sense charitable, but maintained III such a
manner that any member Of respecraoie

good attendance, skiltul nursing and other

thing is practicable in London, but here removai

say concerning this act of faith, except to sug-
gest that it would be wise in their teachers to
explain that reasonable amount of care on
their own part, good drainage, and dislntect-
ants would doubtless hold up the hands OF
good st. Blasus in putting stop to the fatal
