An Interesting Problem
n. Y. Sun


The democratic majority in the house
OF representatives having definitely plant
ed themselves upon the doctrine of free
trade, and having declared their hostility
to every form, degree, and kind of tariff
protection towards American industry. it
becomes an interesting question how far
they will be able to draw to their party
the republican free trade rs of the country.
For instance, will those conspicuous
republican journals, which have long
been known as advocates of free trade
philosophy the New York Times, the
Ecening Post, and the Springfield Repubgt-
can, abandon the republican party on
account of its adhesion to protection?
And will they go over to the democracy?
Or will they continue TO advocate free
trade as a principle, and adhere to pro.
lection in practice, by adhering to the
republican party?
And if these free trade republican
journals go over to the democracy, and in
1884 advocate the election If Mr.. McDon,
aid or some other free trade democrat on
the platform of tariff for revenue only,
will the mass of republican merchants and
philosophers who also believe in free
trade, go over to the democracy along
with the journals, and give their votes to
the democratic candidate?
This is very interesting question, and
it is not one of the least interesting among
those that arise in connection with the
new departure of the democratic party,

Dogs killed 10000 sheep for Ohio flock
masters last year.
The supply of sheep in Ireland has
fallen in the last ten years from 4, asa, $50
in 1878 to 3.07f, ,755 in 1888. 1t is said
that the ravages of dogs has been the chief
cause of the decrease.
Ten pounds of milk are required usually
to make one pound of cheese. At this
rate, as a good milking COW will give in a
year 5000 pounds of milk, her cheese
product would be 500 pounds
Pork or beef which is intended for
keeping should not be salted while in n
frozen condition, as it will not properly
absorb the salt, and cannot, therefore, be
depended upon to keep in hot weather.
1t is thought by some that 200 pounds
is the best shipping weight for steer; for
sheep, 40 pounds. The weight for the
steer should be obtained at the age of two
years, and for the sheep at the first shear
ing.
Invitations to attend the tenth annual
meeting of the Iowa State Improved
Stock Breeders association have been is
sued. The meeting will open at the opera
house in Ames, Iowa, Tuesday evening,
Dec. II. and close at noon, Thursday,
Dec. 13. The Ames hotels have agreed
to board delegates for 81 per day, and all
the railways reaching that place will re-
turn passengers for one third of their

much to stimulate and promote efforts
having for their purpose the improvement
of live stock. 1t works. not in the inter

A. b. HOstetter. Secretary of the Hi
uois Short Horn Breeders Association, Is
sues circular stating that it was decided
by resolution adopted at the last meeting
of the Illinois Shorthorn Breeders Asso-
citation to give each member an opportu-
nifty to contribute to the fund required to
fulfil the promise of the association to
duplicate all premiums taken by Illinois
exhibitors on thoroughbred Shorthorns
at the late Chicago and Kansas City fat
stock shows. He has therefore made
pro rata assessment upon each member of
50 SO, and requests each member to
promptly forward that amount that the
association may pay the dues
DR.. G. c. Caldwell says that new
method for making butter has been pat
ented in Germany, AS soon as gathered
in the churn in particles about tenth of
an inch in size it is transformed to CEN
trifugal machine whose drum is pierced
with holes and lined with linen sack
that is finally taken out with the butter
AS soon as the machine is set in rarid mo-
tion the buttermik begins to escape; a
spray of water thrown into the revolving
drum washes out all foreign matters ad-
herring to the butter; this washing is kept
up till the washwater comes away clean,
and;the revolution is then continued till
the last drop of water is removed, as
clothes are dried in the centrifugal wringer;
the dry butter is then taken out, mou lded
and packed. 1t is claimed that the pro-
duct thus so fully and quickly freed from
all impurities, without any working or
kneading, has finer flavor, aroma, and
grain, and better keeping qualities than
when prepared for market in the ordinary
way

ATHENS, GA, November 6, 1893.-I
am averse on general principles to saying
anything commendatory of proprietary
articles, but there are few on the market
that force those of the profession who
come in contact with the diseased and
suffering to acknowledge their superior
ity. Among those | find Swift's Specific
to rank high. One poor unfortunate re
quests me to tell you that he had long
b3en sufferer with the terrible blood
taint, and securing little if any relief from
other treatment, finally resorted to Swift's
Specific He claims now that it has af
forded him relief, that he feels that his
blood is pure again, and wishes me to ex-
press his deep obligations, with which l
cheerfully comply.

being often seeA-en suite. Those studded
with mock gems are charming for full
dress occasions. Steel too, is much used
for the same purpose, while as to carved
ornaments in ivory, tortoise shell, or,nat-
ural horn, they battle description. The
Langtry knot and the japanese eoiffure

with gems of some description. A few
daring women affect the Roman style of

The common objection among woman
kind to letting their ages be known is not
shared by the ladies of japan, who actu-
ally display the facts as to their age in the
arrangement of their hair. Girls from
nine to fifteen wear their hair interlaced
with red Grape, describing a half circle
around the head, the forehead being left
free, with curl at each side. From fif--
teen 10 thirty the hair is dressed very high
on the forehead, and put up at the back
in the shape of fan or butterfly. with
interlacings of silver cord and decora-
tion of colored balls. Beyond thirty a
woman twists her hair round shell pin
placed horizontally at the back of the
head. Widows also designate themselves
and whether or not they desire to marry
again.
