/. THE DAILY NEWS

Second. THE DAILY NEWS
Is an Independent, truth-telling newspaper.
The reader can count on one hand the known newspapers
whose statements in matters of politics can always be accepted
as at least intentionally truthful, and commonly so in fact.
On the other hand, it is the all-but-universal rule to praise
ones party and candidate to the skies, and to cry down the
opposition rtyand its candidate to the verge Of the disreputable.
So common have such silly and reprehensible methods in Jour.
nalism become that they pass unnoticed, and are accepted as q
matter of course-as an evil ~inseparable from practical politics.
But this is only another mistake of the thoughtless. The Ame,1.
can people are intelligent enough, thoughtful enough, fair enough
to appreciate and endorse honest, truthtening iournalsm-in
truth to preferh to the misleading, the notwithstanding dishonesty
of the "organ."
The demand is more and more for the fair, impartial, indie
pendent newspaper which give the reader all ne ne7vs, and gives
1t absolutely free from the faint of partisan bias. This done, an
expression of opinion, based upon fats, will commend itself to
the thoughtful reader even when he may not find himself in
agreement with the conclusions deduced from the premises.

Removal of Large Palm Trees.

The huge palm trees on the Saunders
place on San Pedro street have long been
q source of admiration to thousands of
people They were there long before the
present occupant took possession, and
are estimated to be from sixty.five to
seventy. FIVE years old. The diameter of
the largest is fully four feet and the
height over sixty feet, while the bodies
of all rise like well-rounded pillars sym
metricalIy formed for forty feet or more

spreading tops. Rccently Mr.. Saunders
disposed of three Of them to the South

of their spacious grounds surrounding
the Wolfskill station. The work of re-
moving the fret of these stately trees has
been successfully accomplished, requir-
ing the carrying along of body of earth
ten feet square and six feet deep, at

apparatus for removal is similar to that
used in transferring buildings, and when
the tree was properly placed upon it in
an upright position it was moved along
without the use of guy ropes to steady it,
until its place of deposit was reached. A

Spanish Itch.

The source or cause of skin diseases in
horses is frequently difficult to deter
mine. Sometimes they are the result
of simple local irritation due to the
presence of parasites among the hair or
buried in the skin, while in other in
stances they are due to some disorder of
the internal organs. A change of food
in spring, as from dry hair and grain to
green and fresh grasses, is often followed
BY highly indamed skin with vesicles or
conical p:mples, and these being itchy
and painful, the animal rubs himself to
obtain relief. What is called "Spanish
itch" in the South is merely one of the
several forms of congestion, with small
pimp!es, which will usually yield to mild
remedies applied in the form of wash
to the skin. A drachm of carbonate of
soda dissolved in pint of water is a
common remedy. Another remedy is
quarter of pound of borax dissolved in
1.-TWO quarts of rain water. These solu-
tions should be applied two or three
! times day until the in n'ammation and
the itching subsidies. Corn or corn meal
should not be given to horses troubled
with SIX n diseases, especially in warm
weather, as such food is of too heating
q nature. Oats, with an occasional feed
| of sweet potatoes or carrots, will be
found very beneficial. The bowels
should be kept slightly relaxed, either
/ by giving soft food or by adding little
|podophyilin in soaked oats or bran
mashes. York Snn.

BANQUET to the Deaf and Dumb,

A banquet to 200 deaf aud dumb men
and womefse took place at St. Mande,
near Paris, recently. Several speeches
were made. which were eagerly followed,
if not listeacd to, and very much ap-
plauded. Perhaps this needs an ex-
plauation. The term deaf and dumb has
become a mlsnomer. Children born deaf
are now no longer dumb, as they were
necessarily of old They are now taught
by ingenious methods to understand aud
initiate the motions OF the lips in ordinary
speech. The Able de rEpee Is said to
have originated the system whereby
those born deaf and dumb a1e put into
communion with the rest of mankind.
His school was placed under the patron
age of the nation by an act of July %,
11g1, and it was to celebrate this
anniversary that the members of the
Friendly Society of the Deaf and Dumb
met yesterday at the Salon des Families.

Why Uncooked Meat Spoils.

For some hours after an animal is
killed the muscular fbers are soft, and
conse Juently tender: it is only after all
vital heat has passed away that the flesh
becomes hard from the gradual stiffen-
ing of its muscular portions. Once that
tense condition of the tissue is estab-
9shed it remains untifthe relaxation sets
in which p:eccdes decomposition; with

copperas, strong enough to destroy the

coppcrGs, strong enough to destroy the
smut germ without injuring the vitality
of the grain.
The chief insects affecting the corn
plant, especially in the Prairie States, is
the chinch bug, and from the July report
of the Ohio Experiment Station it is
learned that it is now injuriously abund-
ant in certain counties of that State. 1t
is also reported as destructive in Illinois
and other States. This is essentially a
dry-weathcr insect. The spring brood is
largely developed in the wheat fields, and
when the wheat harvest is over and the
supply of food in that quarter is exhausted
the bugs, usually only partly grown
and without wings, migrate to adjacent
corn fields on foot. Among the various
summer remedies suggested are plough
ing the stubble, killing with kerosene
emulsion, trapping in burrows, etc.
Probably the most effectual way of pro-
tecting corn field from invasion is to
cut five or six rows of corn from the side
exposed and plough half dozen fur
rows, leaving one deep in the centre,
with the perpendicular side of the furrow
next the corn. Into this the migrating
insects will fall. where they can be COW
cred lightly with straw or any inhamma-
Bile material and cremated.
The manner in which corn is harvested
varies greatly in different parts of the
country. In few sections the leaves
below the ears are first stripped off
while green, and tucked in small hand
fuls between the stalks of hill to dry,
when they arc gathered and bound into
larger punches and stored away, making
a small amount of the best possible
corn fodder. Afterward the tops are
cut OF just above the ears and cured in
small shocks, leaving the bare stalks
standing to support and ripen the ears.
Where this topping is done before the
ear is we'll out of the milk and the grain
has hardened it must to some extent rob
the latter of nourishment, of which at
this period large proportion comes from
the sap in the top.
The most general and the better plan
is to cut the stalks later on little above
the ground, and stand them upin shocks
to cure. In this way the whole Of the
fodder is secured, and the grain gets the
benefit of the sap already in the stalk,
besides absorbing additional matter from
the atmosphere. From eighty to one
hundred hills may be put in a shock,
which should be tied around with coarse
twine two-thirds of the way from the
ground to prevent the loose stalks from
being blown about by the wind. Thresh-
inp the stalks to gather the grain has
been advocated in some quarters. but as
yet has not become at all common. .-Neo

tenth belong to the African and Bartu
races. The family named Bantu occupy
fully one-third of the African continent
on the south from the Gulf of Guinea,
the Congo and the Great Nile lakes
southwark to Cape Colony. The Bantu
can hardly be ranked with the African
family, as they speak very different
tongue. But if we count the African
and Bantu families as one, and add to
them the Hottcntots and Bushmen, and
the Papuans. or Negritos, of portions
of New Guinea and the Sunda Islands

Increasing Egg Production.

Professor A. j. Cook argues, in the
american Cultioator, from the wonderful
fecundity of the queen bee, which often
lays three thousand eggs in day, that
the egg production of hens may yet be
greatly increased. The qneen bee has all
her food brought to her and partly di-
gested. She has nothing to do but eat
and lay. The fact that the common hen
has not yet been persuaded to lay more
than one egg per day is discreditab!e to
hen fanciers. They evidently don't take
such good care of their hens as the bees
do of their queen, else they might coax
biddy up to a performance of several
pounds of eggs per day. But per contra it
is to be noted that queen bee after such
performances becomes worn out and
useless when year old. So that if the
hen will pretty regularly lay her egg a
day, with occasional resting spells for
recuperating her health, most poultry
keepers will be entirely satisfied that
she is paying her way and giving fair
profit beside. 1t does not pay to kill
the goose that lays golden eggs, or even
to encourage her to kill herself by ex-
cesslye laying.

HOUSEHOLD MATTERS.
Newspapers in the Kitchen.

Any properly conducted household
has an abundance of old newspapers.
Many uses can be found for them, but
none more important than in the kitchen.
Nothing is better for cleaning lamp
chimneys. Instead of backing the stove
every day, take a newspaper and rub of
the covers and top of the stove while still
warm. If grease is spilled on cover,
turn it over and let it burn off before
attempting to clean. Brighten up the
tea kettle and coffee pot by the same
means. If you have greasy skillet or
pan, wipe out with piece of news.
paper before washing. The paper will
absorb most of the grease, aud hot water
with little sal soda or washing soda
will complete the cleaning with less
detriment to the hands than usually ex.

Farm and Garden Notes.

| boh " lokSO q PoOl SoAA.
Drain land and cultivate for moist
ure.
! Be sure that the water supply in the
pasture holds out.
! The weeds must be kept down, or the
farm can not be successfully run.
| If the farmer is to save his own seed,
he must save the earliest, largest and
best.
A good tomato should not only be
sound and solid, but also plump and
juicy.
! A farmer should supply himself with
the best. farm tools and implements he
can obtain.
| Ducks and geese should never have
access to a lawn. They pull the grass
up by the roots.
Corn endures drouth remarkably well,
but to do so, it is absolutely essential
that it be kept clean.
Pork made on clover is not only cheap
meat, out very delicious, if finished of
with grain in autumn.
Carrots should be thinned and weeded,
and left to stand two inches apart for the
stump rooted varieties.
Itpays to plow deep, harrow thorough
ly, sow carefully, till diligently, and
harvest in the right time.
You can't get good milk unless the
cows get plenty of clean, fresh water to
drink whenever they want it.
Warm water bathing is the best remedy
for capped udder in COW; after appli-
cation it should be wiped dry.
From recent tests at the English dairy
show, the evening milk is proven to cor
tain more solids than the morning milk.
If turned into meat, butter and cheese,
the grain and grass crops will sell to
better advantage than in any other
way.
BE certain that there is plenty of
water where the cows are turned out to
pasture. Clean, pure water is indis-
pensable to milch cow.
Never wait for rain when you have a
, crop under cultivation; keep right on
cu!tivating and you will be surprised to
find how your crop will Withstand the
drought.
! Successful farmers, whether dairy
men, fruit growers or stock raisers, are
those who consult the requirements of
the markets rather than their own in
clinations in the matter.
The farmer who thinks that to make
money he must 60 where land is cheaper,
should consider we'll if he would not
make more money by making the land
he has deeper and richer.
The elements of the fundamental prin-
ciples of farming are: Soil, heat, moist
ure, muscle and brain power The COM
mingling of these five elements produce
the key to successful farming.
Cultivate to keep the weeds from using
the plant food needed for the crop OF
grain; cultivate that the air may pene.
trate the soil, thereby carrying the gases
among the roots aud developing more
plant food.
Healthy fowls pick up their food
quickly and relish it. When they 90 at
it lazlly, pick up grain or two and then
stop, there is something wrong. At this
season it is well to examine closely fol
lice, and if they are found get rid o.
them.
