MERE OBSTRUCTlONISTS.

Ehe Decayin@ and Crumbling Condition
of the Republican Party.
Time was when Republican party
ism stood for something. But since
the election of President Cleveland it
has become political negation. For
three years the Republicans in Con-
gress have proved the merest obstruc-
'tionists. They have acclaimed in their
platform and from the stump against
the accumulation of the surplus and
the continuance of oppressive taxation,
but in Congress they have contented
themselves with opposing the consid-
GRAFTON of bills brought forward by the
Democrats for the abolition of reduc-
ton of unnecessary taxes. On the
great economical question of the time
they have not attempted to formulate
any positive policy.
When the President was confronted
with a vacancy on the bench of the
United States Supreme Court and I'M
.dertook to fill it by an appointment
from the circuit in which the vacancy
existed, they pursued their modern
tactics of obstruction. They raised
the groundless and ridiculous objection
to the appointment of Judge Lamar
that his sympathies are Southern. In
fact, they made sectional plea for his
rejection by the Senate when the ap-
Spointrnent was necessarily sectional.
,as all appointments to the Supreme
Bench must inevitably be. on account
>of the sectional division of the coun-
try into judicial circuits. After OBJ
strucfing the action of the Pr sident
as hong as they were able halt was
called upon their absurd folly by three
Senators of their own party.

FEEDING POULTRY.
Newspaper Advice Which Has Proved to
BE of Doubtful Utility

BE of Doubtful Utility.
We often see advice given in poultry
and stock journals about providing a
layer of straw OF hay either cut OF
whole. and chaff also, on the floor of
the chicken house. especially in winter,
to give TO fowls something to do'' in
the way of scratching for the grains
thrown down to them. This looks very
plausible in theory. and mly result
well in practice with some breeders.
But my own experience in this line
would lead me to conclude it to be of
rather doubtful utility. 1t is a known
Fact that some breeds of chickens will
take their food more deliberately, and
others more ravenOusly than common.
If you throw u handful of grain to a
pen of Brahmas, Cochins, or other re-
representatives. of the large and sluggish
breeds they will usually go at it very
deliberately and take their time to it,
like the Englishman of Colman's time
taking ''mine ease at mine inn." But
throw the same provisions in pen of
more active breeds. especially if they
are hungry. rs they nearly always are,
and they will crowd each other in a
greedy scramble to devour them. If
the floor of your chicken house is lit
tered with a covering of straw or
chaff, the fowls in their greed to
devour the grain are very apt to
take IN some of the ''scatterings''
which have been placed there to con-
ceal partially the grain. And the re-
suit is sometimes rather disastrous to
the stock, often filling the crop with
inert and indigestible material.
l am certain. at any rate, that the
following of such advice so generally
given. has caused tho loss of some
good birds; and has also necessitated
the surgical process of opening the i'm
pacted crops of others, which revealed
the fact that in their haste to devour
the grain they unavoidably swallowed
some of its surroundings, and would
not have been able to digest the mass
of mixed material. The only way to
save them was to remove it by hand.
Such substances as short straws, grass,
and even light oats which are mostly
chaff, are very difficult of digestion and
passage from the crop of a fowl, and
hence should be kept away from them
mostly. Much of the advice given in
print and otherwise is not always safe
to follow, and intelligence and care on
the part of the breeder should always |
be exercised in the feeding of his stock. |
have l noticed some absurd |
theories and directions on the treat |
nent of domestic fowls, some of which, |
f literally followed, would prove de- |
'tructive to them, and others so inert |
md useless, that following them would
De time only wasted. Careful study of
md attention to the feeding and treat
nent of poultry are the main essentials

A RIVAL OF WOOL.
Imported Garments Made of the Hair of
Russian Cows.

Imported Garments Made of tho Hair OF
Russian Cows.
Cows hair has never been highly
| valued as textile production, but
through recent inventions that almost
valueIess substance may take an i'm
portant position among the natural
productions of this country. Shortly
it is likely to appear rs rival of wool.
and COWS will be cultivated for their
hair as well as for the present mani
fold reasons. A Walker street i'm
porter received a consignment of hair
felting- and the question arose as to
what class of duty it should be subject
to. Rumning through the material
were little woody fibers. and to the I'M
professional eye and touch it seemed
as though wool formed Il portion of the
fibric. The collector at first thought
that the material should be admitted
only under the high wool import dnty-
This the importer objected to and sent
Prof. DoEemus down to- the custom
house to- explain to Mr. Magone the
difference between various kinds of
wool A microscopic examination of
the felt disclosed the fact that a certain
kind of cow hair, having more the
properties of wool than most cows
hair, had been used most successfully
to knit the hair together. The pOssibiE-
tiles of the American COW seem to be
almost unlimited. But she will not
carry all the glory of furnishing this
country with heavy fabric Among
her rivals will be thousands of horses.
and even the homeless. valueless yell
low cur will be thought something of
by somebody outside of the ranks of
dog-catchers- The only requisite now
remaining is to produce hair with a
certain amount of wooiish qualities
The hair of American cows does not
possess so much of the essential ''kind-
ness as does that of some of the
Russian breeds. but with careful train
ing and breeding that could be obtained
al have frequently SEEM" said Prof
Doremus, IA big ball of hair taken
from cows stomach, after she had
been licking herself, that had been so
closely packed by the action of the
stomach that it was almost impossible
to tear it apart. The Russian hair I'M
der the glass looks very much like the
skin of an alligator; it is filled with
little irregularities which cause it to
fasten. Soldiers boots, non-conduct-
ing wrapping for boilers and steam
pipes and soles for slippers are made
from the hair.-M y. II i6ztne.
