The most unreasonable radical and
uncalled for political harangue ever de-
livered in this city was the effort of
Farmer A. w. Smith, at the opera
house, last Friday evening. 1t was de-
You'd of argument, and entirely made up
of assertion anu bombast. AT the very
outset, the speaker stated that 1.-The
Democratic party is the sum total OF
all human infamy, and that Disguised
the conservative portion Of his audience
30 that It never did get over IL. He
abused the Democrats and Union Labor
people and actually did his party more
harm than good. Mr.. Smith was a
candidate for governor, but his party
wisely laid HIM on theshelf. Had he been
the nominee II would have been a regu-
lar picnic for Judge Martin.

A Great Old Schemer.


Why should Blaine desire Harrison's
electiona If Harrison is elected he will
doubtless be candidate for reelection in
1892, and by 1896 Mr. Blaine, if alive, would
be too old to run. Blaine's chance for nom-
ination in 1892 depends upon Harrison's de-
feat in 1888. Doubtless the uncrowned sees
this. Six years ago he found it necessary
to scheme to elect Grover Cleveland Gov
ernor of New York in order to kill off
Arthur, his chief rival for the nomination
In 1884. May he not now be practicing
Burchardism with view of killing off Har-
sison for 1892! II not, it is hard to account
Tor Blaine's apparent blunders since he re-
turned home. Certain it is that thus far he
has made terrible havoc with Harrisons
chances. Is the ''uncrowned king trying
to defeat Mr.. Harrisonl Either that, OF
else his shrewdness as politician has been
very much oYerrated.-BostOn Globe

How Some Great Men Die.

Henry |. of gluttony.
Henry III. naturally.
Edward VI. Of decline.
Charles /. on the scaffold.
Richard III. was killed in battle.
George III. as he lived n mad
man. Henry VIII. of carbuncles, fat
and fury. George ~. ofgluttony and
drunkenness. Henry VII. wasted
away, as a miser ought. James 1. of
drinking and the effect of vice.
Charles II. suddenly, it is said, of
apoplexy.
Edward V. was strangled in the
Tower by his uncle, Richard III,
William Rufus died the death hf
the poor stays which he hunted.
Henry II. OF a broken heart, occa-
stoned by the bad conduct of his
children. George !. from drunkenness
which his physicians politely called
an apoplectic fit William III. of
consumptive habits of body and from
the stumbling of his horse. Edward
III. of dotage and Richard ii. of
starvation - the very reverse of
George ". Henry vi. in prison by
means known only to his jailer, and
now only known in heaven.
William the Conqueror from enor-
nous fat, from drink, and from the
violence of his passions.
George II. died of a rupture of the
heart, which the periodicals of that
day termed a visitation of God.
Richard C9ur de Lion, like the
animal from which his heart was
named, died by an arrow from an
archer.
Edward II. was barbarously and
lndecently murdered by ruifians
employed by his own wife and her
paramour.
John died, nobody knows how,
but it is said from chagrin, which
we suppose is another term for a
dose of hellebore.
Henry V. is said to have died of a
painful affiiction, prematurely."
This is a courtly term for getting rid
of a king.
Edward l. is also said to have
died of a "natural sickness"-a sick
ness which would puzzle all the col
lege physicians to denominate.
Henry ". is said to have died of
"fits caused by uneasiness," and un-
easiness in palaces in those times
was a very common complaint.

HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS.

TO PRESERVE CRAB APPLEs.-Sort
your apples and the perfect ones put
by themselves, trim the stem (leav-
ing about an inch on the apple) and
scrape off the blossom end, wash
them, put in porcelain or other
preserve kettle, cover with water,
cook until you can run a straw
through, skim out and weigh to
each pound take a pound of sugar
and cup Of water, boil and skim,
put in the apples and boil until
clear, skim out, boil the syrup a few
minutes, then pour over the apples.
The water the apples were boiled in
first measure, and to each pint put
pound of white sugar, boil an
hour, and it makes a beautiful jelly.
Cut the worm holes and other bad
places from the poor apples, boil and
jam through a colander, adding
sugar same weight, and cook until

Mixed Diet for Fowls.

OOoiNOS liiO AiSOSnoleJ Vi pun NHVOi1 ,
a variety of food is essential to the
health of fowls, and when they are
kept in situations where they can
not get insect food, some animal
matter hashed, rough meat, green's,
etc, must be supplied.
Buckwheat is fattening. Feed
sparingly, and no better egg-produc-
ing food can be found.
Wheat is acknowledge to be one
of the best reproducing foods.
Oats comes next to wheat.
Indian corn is fattening. Excel
lent for night food. Indian corn
should be the food for setting hens.
1t keeps up a continual heat in the
body of the hen.
Rye makes a good occasional food
and gives life to the stock. Ground
bone and oyster shells form egg
shells. Always keep them handy
for the fowls.
Sand and gravel help the gizzard
to chew up the food.
Beef scraps mixed with corn meal
mush and fed several times a week
make e big increase in the egg sup
ply.
Charcoal fed literally in small
humps brightens their combs and
gives them tonic. 1t is best to
use charcoal made from corn cobs,
as wood charcoal is tasteless, and
not at all relished.
Milk, put in their drink vessels,
or given with corn meal scalded in
a stiff mass, not only greatly relish
ed, but is very reproducing.
One pound of paris green to 900
lbs. of dry land plaster is the proper
proportion for application to potato
vines.
Do not let young rose bushes
bloom. Give them the whole sea-
son for growth. Every rose pro-
duoed will be at the expense of
growth. Keep the earth always
loose around them.
An enthusiast says that the silo
will make dimples on the faces of
good many dairymen, and that if
they fill the silo according to the
latest light on the subject they will
never regret Ii.
Teams should be worked early in
the morning and give plenty of time
for rest at noon, with nutriti GUS
food. By working mostly in the
early morning and in the afternoon
they will escape the heat Of the
MONDAY sun.
Texas has another new forage
plant, said to be very fine for sheep
and upon which in three or four
months sheep get hog fat. 1t grows
wild on the plains Of northern Texas
and in appearance somewhat re-
sembles the bear grass
Animal food occasionally, for
young or old fowls seems indlspen-
sable. Beef cracklngs are excellent
and something that most every one
can obtain. Craeklings and corn
meal made into dough and baked,
is good food for both old and young
birds.
Sometimes the farmer is in a hur-
ry and takes his dog along to help
drive up the cows; the dog enjoys
it, the cows do not, but reach the
stable in time, helped along by
few stones. The next churning may
not bring quite so much money.
