Mary.

In the sweetest of jackets
She sat in her chair,
And told of the Brackets
She'd had everywhere (;
OF the parties and balls
To which she had been,
And how at them all
She reigned supreme
She told of the chances
She had to wed,
But to all such advances
She just shook her head
For she knew very well
Tho it seemed kind of wrongly
The same story she'd tell
Till himself came along.
Then she paused for space
And drew deep sigh,
And l looked in her face
To know if it were L?
But she spoke not word.
Tho my thoughts she had read
And | felt quite absurd
And she still shook her head.

Mixed Feeds.


One of the strong points IN favor
of the much praised ensilage, is that
animals eat it with a relish. No food,
however rich it may be in food elements,
will prove profitable if the farm stock
cannot be made to take to it kindly.
1t is on this account that mixing of
feed has been so successful. Sameness
pals upon the Appetite change of
diet encourages and sharpens it. A
few roots cut, or better, pulped, and
given to the animals, will make them
cat the corn-fodder or cut straw with all
the greater relish. Try and make a
little change in diet of the animals,
even though it be only once week,
with some roots, potatoes, apples, etc.,
it will pay. The more an animal eats,
and beautifully digests, the more prof.
table it is,

Health of Cows.

hthitu VI COWas
E. W. Stuart, of New York, has this
to say, that the health of the cows may
be promoted by studying the effect of
different foods. A fruitful cause of dis
ease in cattle is the steady feeding of
dry, woody, fibrous food. This pro-
duces impaction of the manifolds and
a general arrangement of the system.
Oil meal seems to have a similar effect
upon the system to turnips or other
roots. 1t produces general relaxation
of the bowels and counteracts the effect
OF dry, fibrous food. In many dairy
districts faxseed is purchased at a
moderate price, say from $1.13 to $3.50
per bushel, and it will pay the dairy
man or feeder of cattle or horses, to
buy few bushelsof flax seed and grind it
with his other grain. One bushel of flax
seed mixed with twenty bushels of corn
and oats, and all ground fine together,
will, by reason of it's oil, render slightly
laxative and assist materially in giving
a proper action to the digestive organs.
This will answer instead of oil meal.
1t will show its effect by giving soft,
mellow skin and glossy coat. By
studying the effects of foods the feeder
may prevent most of those diseases that
render the services of the farrier neces.
sary. Food is all the medicine that is
needed.

PODSNAPPERV

In the war which is now in progress
between the Topeka Commonwealth and
the Kansas City wheat ring, it is nota-
BILE fact that while the press of the latter
city has sought to ridicule the structures
upon the swindles alleged to have been
perpetrated upon Kansas shippers, there
has been plentiful lack of facts and
figures employed in the feeble effort to
refute the charges preferred against the
brokers who, it seems, have fattened
upon the toll of the farmers of this
state. The Commonwealth has made
certain allegations which go to prove
that crookedness has been the rule among
the commission brokers Of Kansas City,
and has fortified its position with an
array of figures which no lofty exhibit
ton of Podsnapery can wave aside. 1t
will not meet the requirements of the
case for the local journals to say that
the Kansas press is agitated over the
discovery of a mares nest, when there is
30 much to indicate that its exceptions
TO the action of the wheat ring are well
aiken. 1.-THE parties against whom these
charges have been made are innocent
)f the irregularities imputed to them
here is only one way to compass their
rindication and that is by showing up
heir accounts. In the language Of Mr..
iradgrind. what the people want In this
controversy is facts; they desire facts,
lothing but facts.

MR.. FEIGHAN's STATEMENT.

EDITORS NEWS: In an article pub
lished in your paper of date Oct. %,
signed Another Republican, !" the writer,
without provOcatiOn, attempts to drag
me into controversy that I have no
sort of Connection with, or inter
est in, except as a Republican voter of
Lyon county, and in discussing the griev-
ances of the Welsh citizens says that
seven the delegate who nominated Mr.
Chalfant was elected as such by persons
who desired him to vote for Mr.. Jones
and with the understanding that he
should do So" The sentence following
the words above quoted IN the article
referred to raises question of taste
merely, and needs no answer, but in
regard to the statement that was elect
ed as delegate by persons who desired
me to vote for Mr.. Jones, I desire to say
that this is the opposite of the truth. 1t
may be true that Mr.. Jones friends voted
for me, as they did for other delegates
who supported Mr.. Chalfant in the con-
vention, but was not before the prima-
ry as Jones man, and made no such
pretense. There were two tickets voted
for in the third ward, that saw, and
one of them was known as the Ewing
ticket and the other was supposed
TO be made up in the inter
est of Chalfant and Fleming, and
my name and the name of other Chal-
FAINT delegates were on both, and there
were not enough of Mr.. Jones friends
in the ward, to either elect or defeat me,
unaided by the friends of the candidates
named. Mr.. Ewing put my name on
the ticket made up by him, knowing
that if elected l would support his OPP
pOnent, and so informed me at the time,
and I was elected a delegate without
pledge or solicitation on my part.
If the author of the statement that
was elected with the understanding that
l would support Jones, means by this
that l agreed or promised to support
Mr.. Jones, either before or after my
election, he states what is absolutely
false. Neither Mr.. Jones nor his friends,
If they had such an understanding, had
any ground to base it on, for never
made any statement with the intention
of creating such an Impression. 1 was
not unrriendly to Mr.. Jones, but he was
not my first choice. intended to sup
port him in the event my first choice
was dropped, but did not even prom
Use him to do that. regret exceedingly
that it has become necessary for me TO
say anything through the public prints
on this matter, and hope this will be the
end of 1t. 1t is the first time that 1
have ever been dragged into a newspa-
per controversy and 1 hope it will be
the last. ]. WI

New York stock Market.

New YORK, Oct 24-The stock mar
ket opened generally firm and the gener.
al list advanced a fraction. The fluctua
tions, however were extremely slight and
no important changes took place. 1t is
reported that all elevated roads are to be
consolidated under the presidency
of Jay Gould. There is a fair borrow
ing demand for stocks although leading
houses say short interests have been con-
siderably reduced. The railroad war
stands squarely in the way of the market.
The New York Central is said to be
making contracts to run a year at the
present rates. Insiders short of New
York Central had not covered and Van
derbilt brokers are bearish upon
Lake Shore and New York Central.
Nevertheless, one of the largest houses
on the street were buyers of stocks Sat
urdaY afternoon upon the information
that the war would soon end. Tilllng-
hast, of the New York Central, is re-
ported as saying the war would be
ended by Garrett. Mr.. Vanderbilt was
determined to abolish the differential
rates. If the Baltimore & Ohio adj
vanced rates Vanderbilt's would follow
suit, but would bring freight to New
York at whatever prices Garrett charged
for carrying to Baltimore. In this con-
nection some Significance may be at
tached to the story that the Pennsylvania
and Baltimore & OHIO people have been
in conference in this city the past week
and agreed, 1t is said, to advance local
rates. The war may terminate by an
agreement to abolish tine differential
rates on grain for export, while leaving
the rate in force on grain not shipped
for export.
