The Presidents Message.

AS promised last week, we lay
before our readers a synopsis of
the Presidents message, adopting
for that purpose an editorial review
of the Times-Democrat, which we
believe copcisely mentions every
point made by the President:
The message of President Cleveland,
which We give elsewhere, is said to be
the longest public document ever sent
by the Executive to Congress. As the
first issuing from a Democratic Presi-
dent in more than quarter of a Gen.
fury, it has been awaited with the
greatest public interest, and nOtwith-
standing it's great length. will be read
by more people than usually wander
through these presidential utterances.
Many new views have been expected
in Mr. Cleveland's message, many ut
teraDces quite different hom those of
his predecessors. He has had hitherto
no chance OF giving expression to his
views, no opportunity to speak on
questions OF national moment. This,
the first opportunity given him, he
uses well in message which touches
ON every topic OF national Oh public in
terest, every question likely to come
before the present Congress, and on all
these points MIR. Cleveland has an
opinion and does not hesitate to ex-
press it.
The message commences with a very
all. -. 81, ..f
President Hendricks, and then touches
on the foreign relations OF the United
States. This country is on friendly
terms with all foreign powers; there
mas been no serious trouble with any
of them, and but few slight complica-
tons. MIR. Cleveland is not pleased
with the action of Austria III refusing
to receive Mr.. Kelly AS the United
States minister at Vienna, and hints
that tins country will remain, as at
present, unrepresented there. The
differences with Germany about nat
uralized Americans residing there, aud
with Ecuador, growing out of the arrest
of sailors, have been satisfactorily ar
ranged. He calls attention to the
manner in which our troops kept the
transit over the istbmus open, without
interfering in the internal affairs ia
Columbia and similarly, how this
country steered Though the Central
American war without siding with any
of the parties to it or becoming i'll
any way involved.
Mr.. Cleveland has much to say on
the isihmus question, and we refer
elsewhere to his views, and particu-
iarly to his approval of the Teliaante-
pee ship Railway as practicable, and
as nearer the lines of traffic between
Europe and the Pacific, and particu-
larry between the Mississippi Valley
| and the western coast of North and
South America.
Mr.. Cleveland is equally emphatic
on the subject of entangiing alliances.
He does not want to get us involved
with other governments on account of
any lsthmus route and he similarly
| refuses To join in the foundation OF the
Congo free States, although he strongly
| approves ct the attempt TO develop the
| com merce of the interior of Africa.

land recognizes the right of this gov
ernment to prevent the immigration

To Havo Eggs For Winter.

The Farm, an Irish paper, says
that the best way to have fresh
eggs for winter use is to so manage
the fowls as to have some that will
lay through the winter months.
The first requisite is to have early
and late broods of chickens. Early
Matched pullets, Improperly cared
for, will begin to lay in winter, and
as these need to rest, Others come
on to supply the eggs.
The next requirement is warm
hen house. No one need expect
that hen or pullet will or can lay
eggs in a place where the tempera-
ture is so low that their vitality is
taxed to keep them from freezing to
death. Hens must have warm, COM
Portable quarters. Then comes the
question of food. Give them enough
to eat and let it be of the right kind.
A little grain is good, put waste
scraps from the table, or from the
butchers stall, cut up fine and ted
to the hens, will augment the pro-
duct of eggs. With this manage
ment, eggs in winter need not be q
scarce article on the farmers table.

At the recent convention of the
Butter and Cheese Association, in
Chicago, Prof. Lorenzo Franken-
stein, in a paper upon butter adult
erations, declared that putrid fer
mentatiOn was the normal condition
of all adulterated butter. The
chemicals used in it's manufacture
were often changed into positive
poison. Calomel mixed with butter
inc at once became corrosive subli-
mate. Butterine became Opaque at
q temperature of 1O5 degrees while
pure butter became transparent.
