The republican troubles are not yet

The action of the Independent members
of that organization in calling meeting
and forming club without consulting the
county and city bosses has augmented the
quarrel which will be still greater after the
legislative nominations have been made.
The members of the Lincoln club, as
they call themselves, are of the opinion
that their independent action means their
ostracism from the party council, and yer

Facts for Farmers.


Young cows do not give as rich milk
as do those of mature age. A lean COW
gives poor milk and fat one rich milk.
The cotton states consume AZ, 252 ,244
bushels more of wheat than they raise,
and pay to the North for wheat, corn,
oats and hay $3.50, ZOO, 900 annually.
Wintering bees in cellars appears to
be an improvement over wintering
them outside. The bees consume less
honey, have less loss and are healthier
in the end.
If the owner of a COW will realize the
fact that unless she pays him in clear
cash S44 80 yearly she is kept at loss,
he will soon become interested i'll the
subject of the improvement of cows.
One reason why our wheat crops are
only about half as much per acre as in
England is because the British farmer
employs sheep as grain growers, while
with us sheep are only considered as
wool or mutton makers.
Both for its effect upon fattening and
upon health small amount of wood
ashes should be given to swine. The
food without this is rich in phosphoric
acid, but has little lime, and the equiv
alent should be thus supplied.
Too much attention cannot be paid
to the cleanliness and ventilation of
stables and pens. To insure the health
and comfort of animals they must be
kept dry and warm and have plenty of
light as well as pure air and pure wa
ter.
A COW with three rings on her horns
is six years old with four she is sew
en-. No new rings are formed after the
tenth year. The deeper rings, how
ever, and the worn appearance of the
horns, are pretty sure indications of
old age.
Any farmer who desires the full ben
eft of the manure to be applied in his
crops next year must begin and spread
it on now, and continue to do so dur
ing the winter, unless the land is on
very steep hillsides, then it should only
be spread as it is worked in.
As floors of poultry houses, boards
are not good, especially if chickens are
to be brought up upon them, as they
produce cramp. Concrete or brick is
better, yet nothing is so good as well
pulverized, dry soil, which is really the
least expensive of anything.
To pinch off the tip of shoot is not
to produce a shock, but to change, not
impede, but send the flow of the sap in
other directions, by which the fruit is
benefited, while the leaf power is not
materially interfered with, the auxil-
larry leaves affording the needful sup
ply.
Farmers should endeavOr to sell as
little as possible of that which comes
mainly from the soil, and as much AZ
possible of that which comes from the
atmosphere. Butter and fat stock sold
will improve a farm while cheese
milk and lean stock sold will keep the
farm lean unless manure or fertilizers
are bought.

4 Good Rule.

One of our pastors told his flock that
unless il man prayed for his pastor he
had no right to criticise his pastor.
That is Il good rule. After you have
prayed for the minister your criticism
will be more just, more gentle, more
acceptable. The criticisms of good,
hearty, praying brethren will be worth
attending to. OF such critics the pas
tor may say: ''Let the righteous smite
me; it will he kindness and let him
reprove me, it shall be an excellent oil,
that shall not break my head And
such kind criticisms will bring Il need
of gratitude, too, and counterweight
of prayer from the minister for the
Psalmist continues: ''For yet my
prayer shall be also i'll their calami-
ties" You pray over your pastors
faults, if you find he has such, and you
may expect he will not fail to pray fol

Real ReIigiOn--nOt Numbers.

The general estimate of church's
spiritual prosperity is found by the ad-
ditions to its membership. If these are
Numerous it is taken for granted that
they indicate good spiritual state. In
some respects this may he true, for a
church destitute of active, prayerful
piety is not likely to receive many ac-
ccssories. Nevertheless, it is possible
to err in this matter. Mere numbers
are not infallible indications of pros
perity. and some churches would be
more prosperous if they counted fewer
members than they do. Every world
ly, Inconsistent member is one too
many for the church's good, and him
dcrs its real prosperity. a musical so
ciety gains nothing for its great pur-
pose by members who have no music
in their souls, and so church must
have members who really add to its
spiritual life if they cOnduce to its pros
perity. The great want of our churches
to-day is more real religion i'll the
membership. If men cannot discern
between him that serveth God and him
that Scrvcth Him not if our aims are
a. worldly as those of the world, and
if our pleasures are derived from the
same sources, can we hope to have
power with them There are many
churches that need as much gracious
work within them as those "withOut.'
If profcssed Christians who are now
bringing forth nothing could he brought

Startling Facts Of American H.
literacy.

In 1870, IA per cent. of the legal vo-
tiers of Missouri, or $1,000, two thirds
of them whites, could not write their
own names. Arkansas had 81 900
voters ga per cent. of all, two tifths
whitesl of the same sort Louisiana,
Sc, 600 (55 per cent, over one sixth
white y Texas, 5000 (36 per cent,
one fourth whites y a total of 247 900,
or Is per cent.-two in five, nearly-of
all the legal voters of these states J
These masculine illiterates were match
ed by go, 900 illiterate women over 81
years old The same states had at
the same time 332 900 illiterate youth
between 10 and 81 years old. In 1880
data from census Office,) the four states
of the Southwest had an aggregate of
$4,000 illiterate voters - Ill 400
whites 333, All illiterate wOmen-123,-
6I6 whites and 397 300 illiterate youth
between 10 and 2l-l94, 54o whites.
At that time Missouri alone had 3d.
6S3 illiterate voters-40,6 55 whites (;
%, sos illiterate women-44, 269 whites !;
and 1858 illiterate youth between 10
and 81, of whom 62, 786 were whites T!
Note |. These illiterates are nearly
altogether American born. Americans
are therefore responsible for the con-
tinuance of this illiteracy.
II. Statistics of popular illiteracy
always greatly under-state the ignOr-
ance of a people, because Q) many
illiterates are omitted by the enumera-
tors and (2) no statement of statistics
can disclose the dense popular ignOr-
ance in a community which lies be-
tween liability to read and write" and
the possession of even the elements OF
useful education. The 10000 voters
of Missouri who cannot write their own
names are probably matched by an
equal number whose limited education
disqualifies them for any intelligent
comprehension of the duties of citizens.
III. The apparent increase of litter
acy i'll the Southwest during the last
decade is explained (D by the greater
accuracy of the last census, and (2) by
the immigration into these states OF
multitudes from the older "Slave'
states.
". This ignorance is chiefly whit,
ignorance, especially in Missouri anC
Arkansas the more difficult tC
eradicate for that reason, and the more
important to be done for the welfare o
both races.
