that supply is at hand at the time Of
operating. In making these divisions
We should not separate into to- many
parts at one time. A colony divided
into two is enough at once. Eash
queenless half should be provided with
. laying queen. thus keeping each part
strong and furnished with laying
queens. This keeps up large portion
Of brood Mt all times and doubles the
laying forces by the addition of an ex.
ira queen at each division. When
dividing colony into many parts at
one time it weakens each part 50 that
even if laying queens are furnished,
the amount of brood comb in which to
deposit eggs is limited according to the
strength Of the colony. Hence comes
the necessity Of having each part as
strong as possible. thereby acc0mmo-
dating the queen with room according
to her laying capacity. The secret Of
success is in dividing more frequently
and not making so many parts at once
out Of the same colony. A strong
colony divided into two parts may be
divided again into four parts in six or
eight days, when It may be kept up
every ten or twelve days thereafter.

seems entirely satisfied with the stars

around after something else. In 1851,
for example, It dropped them entirely
and went. foot and dragons, for the
stars and bars. Suppose the republic
can party had done the same; there
wouldn't b. any STAN and stripes now,
or If they still existed they would not
mean anything. And who is to blame
this year If the republicans seem to
have q monopoly Of the old nag? The
democrats themselves, without ques-
ton. Nobody tried To take the flag
away from them. They dropped It Of
their own free will and hoisted the old
bandana in its stead. What could the
republicans do, but pick up "Old
Glory" run it to the top Of the mast,
a. they had done In many another
fight with democrats, and nail II
there? We appreciate the situation Of
the Cbtsrant. It sees its party COM
PEELED, by its os0n choice, to bear the
odium of association with an emblem
whose name suggests only . disgust
ing and filthy habit and whose color
suggests only anarchy and revolution,
and there is no wonder it squirms.
But its anxious solicitude lest the flag
Of the Union be contaminated by as
ISOLATION with the republican party. is
entirely gratuitous. The flag has
been associated with that party for q
great many year,, and there has been
nothing in the association that either
the flag or tho party: has reason to be
ashamed of. The democratic party has
chosen its emblem; the republican
party responds to the challenge in the
most natural way imaginable:

WHILE local pride doubtless has
something to do with the cordial sup
port that is given Hon. L. U. Humph.
rey by the southeastern counties in
his candidacy for the governo-ship, the
main consideration influencing their
action is the knowledge that they are
offering the State man who is worthy
of it. Worthy in education and cul-
ture, worthy in sturdy manhood and
independence, worthy in record and
character. Kansas will never have
cause to blush for the words or deeds
of her chief executive if l.. U. Humph-
rey lie called to that high place.

GENTLEMEN, democrats of Kansas :
1t is time the farce Of declaring against
sumptuary legislation cease. The de.
feat Of the resolution for resubmission
shows that you have determined to
accept prohibition as the settled policy
Of the State. And since you viii not
try to remedy the sumptuary legisla-
ton already enacted, cease to act the
baby by saying you are opposed to
sumptuary laws.-COurant.
Bravely spoken, my lad! Bravely
spoken! Keep up that kind of talk
awhile longer and you may get your
old whistey-logged party up to where
the republican party camped six years
ago. Six years behind is not very far
for the democratic party.

count Of the last game Of ball played there, did

reason why. When the game was arranged,
each captain gave the other . list Of his players
that would play, and when the Moran boys
went down to play, they found three profess
SIGNALS ON the ground. That is tho reason they
kicked out oft, that shows that the LaHarpe
captain did not intend to keep his part Of the
contract. And after the game had been arrang-
ed, and the Moran captain allowed one profess
sional to play, and in entering his name on tie

HORNS AND TAILS.

TIVE Dovlne Ailments Caused By Poos
Feeding sad Exposure.
It is surprising how few farmers
know that Q cows horns are naturally
hollow. 1t is popularity supposed that
when cavity is discovered in horn
there is something wrong. The animal
has 'hollow horn" or ''wolf-in-tho.
TAIL" or both. Goodness of the horns
and tail only indicate disturbed cir.
culation, and are symptoms of indiges-
ton or some other difficulty to which
the treatment should be directed. A
horn may freeze from extreme cold
weather, or some injury to the head
may cause the sinuses Of the horn to
I'll up with pus, when boring into the
cavity. by allowing the accumulation
to escape, affords relief. Cold horns
may safely be left alone. It 10 not
best to try to warm them up by inject
ing cayenne pepper. turpentine. or
some fiery compound which can only
torture the animal. Treat the COW for
what ais her, and the horns will take
care of themselves
In dehorning cow recently that had
been ailing for some time the writer
discovered that one of her horns was
full of pus It bled profusely. more
than all the other stubs in the dairy
together, but her recovery was rapid
and she is now in fine condition. Bor-
ing the horns of an ailing animal can
do no harm, and if from any cause one
is filed it may afford relief, but it is
not worth while to bore them because
they are hollow, for they are always
hollow if healthy. Hollow-horn as a
disease is myth. So is that other
frightful malady, wolf-tail or tail-ail.
The fact that blood may not flow from
an animals tail when gashed with a
knife does not indicate that the tail
should be amputated. The same causes
that will impede the circulation and
make . mans hands and feet cold will
affect an animals extremities in the
same way, and while it is all right to
equalize the circulation the main treat
ment should be directed toward the
seat of the difficulty and all unneces-
sary cruelty avoided. Poor feeding
and exposure are responsible for most
of the cases of "horn-ail" and "tail-
aif' which we hear of.-Philadeiphia

Dear Resister::. :.
As reports from the variots localities % TO
the manner Of spending Up Fourth OF July
will doubtless be the order, i've would like to
inform the rest Of perspirpg huIlanity that
the people Of Osase celebrated the glorious
anniversary, atsGilbert's Grove in orthodox
style.
Notwithstanding the ;disIbal prediction that
SIT was goin' to rain," mSde BY some who
generally have . blanket I'M soak for such occa-
sions, theday was bright al beautiful, and 81
an early hour the self-appdnted orchestra Of
feathered songsters In this DIE Of Goods hrst
temples" greeted the expfctsnt throns with
their sweetest melodies.
The citizens OF this vicinity seem to have the
happy faculty Of completely ignoring. the
political fence, at least, THY '.let down the
bars, ION this festive occasion. and every body
seemedhlled with patriotic Pyand thankfulness
that our forefathers were Successful In convin-
cling old England that this , Nation, spelled
with big N. s.t.
Mr.. VIM. Ross was the e1clent president Of
the day, and Rev. p. G. Ozark the chaplain,
The Declaration was we'll rad by Rev. G. W.
Trout Mr.. A. C. Scott delivered the grafton,
and 1t was pronounced by hll. to be the best
ever delivered In the grove. In fact. he 20
charmed his hearers that u closing the exerA
cises of the day, 1t was moved and carried,
''that we celebrate the Fourth Of July 1889, at
GIlbert's Grove, and elect Mr.. Scott as orator
of the day"
In the unanimous response Of the gentlemen
to the motion, the ladies, especially the young
ladies' exhibited willingness that almost
amounted to eagerness to vtte, in the affirm
alive Of course, but alas! Oar chairman IL not
. ''women's rights" man, or he has not the
courage of his convictions, sufacient to be Of
practical utility, and one more point was scored
against cause that must in the end prove
triumphant.
After bountifnl dinner, the afternoon was
occupied by music by che Kincsid band; toasts
speeches and music by the Glee Club, the last
song being beautiful quartette, "Come Where
the Lilies BlOom.'
One pleasing event of the afternoon was q
reunion Of the old soldiers, with songs and
speeches from some of them. One soldier who
wore the gray, participated in these exercises
and at the close of his speech, was met with
. cordial hand shaking, by those who wore the
blue, and the fraternsl greeting. "Ssy Johnnie,
have you got any tobacker?"
The omnipresent small boy and inevitable
fire crackers added to the general eject in 9
manner peculiar to the combination. And the
close Of four one-hundred and Twelfth
anniversary found q weary but happy populace
returning homewartl with subdued degree oil
patriotism. and glad that the Fourth OF July
comes but once year.
