Many ways are recommended to
cure a horse from baking. but very
sensible plan is given by correspond
ent of the Country Gentleman. His
idea is to make the horse forget thai
he tried to balk For this purpose he
tried him at the harrow if he balked
in the wagon. If there was some par
ticular place where he usually baked,
the owner would stop him there, get
out and give him something to eat
and he would forget that he wanted
to balk and go on all right. A horse
is susceptible to kindness, and cruel
usage only hardens his nature and
makes him obdurate. Let him get
the idea that you intend TO be cruel to
him and he will be ugly to you. Treat
him with kindness when you get him
and he will forget unkind treatment
received previously, and become gentle
and trrctahle. The famous horse
breakers always conquer by kindness.
If horse refuses to start, give him a
bite to eat and then after a moment
lead him away a rod or so, and the
chances are that he will go along and
forget about the baking. If you use
horse in this way few times, un-
less he is ineorrigible and extremely
ugly by nature, the chances are that
he will learn TO respect you and for
get TO balk. There are few horses that
are really ugly, but some animals are
of hateful turn and are much harder
/ to work than others.

GOOD POULTRY HOUSE.
How to Keep Fowls In . Healthy and
Thriving Condition.

Thriving Condition.
The getting of plenty of eggs in win
ter by the intelligent poultry-keepeI
stimulates the less thoughtful to the
good resolve of having poultry house.
In choosing the site. select, if possible.
q sidehill that slopes gently to the
south. This secures natural drainage.
provided You throw up the earth
against the north wall to form = sur
face drain. Solar influence viii be OF
great advantage in this location, in
melting away the snow several weeks
in advance of adjacent fields and ex-
posing a previously sown forage crop
for the early use of the fowls As soon
as n fowl can secure part of her own
living the profit will increase in the
same ratio. If a sidehilI is not avail
able, select as next best a ridge run
ming east and west and build on the
southern slope. One end of the poultry
house should come to the lane that is
traversed in going from house to barn;
this will save labor. In level coun-
try do not commit the common error
by building first and grading after
ward, but grade first Plow a back
furrow good and deep. going east and
west, at least three times as wide as
the width of your building; now use
the scraper. and raise the ground al
least a foot high. but be careful to
open up a surfuce drain that no water

pose of preventing rats digging down

when completed, three feet higher thar

Carving q Restaurant STEAK.

Two young gentlemen little the worse
for wear dropped in one Saturday evening
at certain Clark street restaurant, and.
after consulting tho bill of faro rather
hesitatingly, each ordered sirloin steak.
In due course of timo the steaks were de.
ivered to the consignees, and they pro.
ceeded to carve them. Ono Of the Young
men angered the waiter, after repeated
onslaughts on his steak, by calling for an
ak. The other young man was calm and
unmoved. After yainly cndeayoring to
cut his steak while in q sitting posture
he arose, poised his knife and fork and
addressed his friend as follows: sYou
Just keep your eye on me- now. Years ago
1 used to dissect remains over in q homeo.
pathic medical college OH tho West Side,
andHl do this steak if it kills me. 1
am the great prodisscctcr. Watch me
and wait for tho big showl" and the
young physician cleverly separated the
component parts of both steaks in a mas
terly ma er, although it was plain to be
seen that his incidental remarks had ex.
ercised q rather depressing effect upon
the appetite of hisyoung friend Chicago

In Justice to Judge Edgerton.

Pioncer Press: Certain politicians
can never forgive Judge Edgerton for
his decision in the old capital commits
sion case. These men continue to
pursue the judge with the most false
accusations. One q few months ago
was sent widespread oyer the north.
west to the effect that twent y-eight
years ago. n the Charleston conven-
tion, the judge voted fiftY-odd times
for jeff Davis. This charge was re-
peated at Salem, in McCook county, by
democratic stump speakers two weeks
ago. The writer has taken the time
TO investigate the charge and finds
what all who remember the proceed
Ings Of that memorable convention
knew before, that Judge Edgerton
meyer voted for Jeff Davis in his life,
but, as a delegate to the Charleston
convention, he voted for Douglas for
while, and then with two others OF
his delegation voted for Dan Dickinson
OF New York. Now, whether this was
right or wrong, it would seem as if
nearly five years of distinguished ser
vice IN the union army, and his emf
nent and honorable conduct since the
war in both Minnesota and Dakota,
was sufficient to stop the mouths of
such base slanderers. 1t is possible
that the confidence and respect which
men in Dakota have for the judge in
spires these unjust attacks upon him
by inferior men, who hope by such
methods to come to the front, but the
people uf Dakota are too just and too
intelligent to permit corrupt dema=
gognes - succeed by blasting the good
name vi men who upon every occas-
ion have been true to the best interests
OF this territory. Judge Edgerton
needs no office and. SO far as we are ad.
vised, desires none.

The New and the Old.

EDITOR REPUBLICAN: AS to admis-
sion Of Dakota and the opinion ex-
pressed in the Sioux Falls Press:
1t is not to be hoped that Congress
will pass the Harrison bill at the next
session because the House is democrat
ic. 1t could not then be passed until
March or April and even not then, uE-
less an extra session of congress was
called to meet. 1t is not probable
that an extra session of congress will
be called for the sole purpose Of adj
mitting Dakota, because it is clear
that Dakota needs no representation
until congress meets in December,
1889. Ii this be so. then we have
ample time to adopt a constitution.
organize state government, assemble
alegislature and complete the machine
ry to be ready to enter upon the full
enjoyment and exercise of state sover-
eighty, before congress meets in Dec
ember, 1889. Where, then, would be
the delay spoken Of by Judge Edger-
ton? In 1885, an election was held IN
June, a constitution framed in Aug
ust, an election held in October and
the legislature met in December. In
this case there was no hurry and every
thing necessary was done in order and
the state was fully prepared to enter
the union vi -. the assembly of con-
gress.
1t is said that i'll is possible the pee
pie might reject constitution sub
mitted to them and therefore it ought
not to be submitted. 1t is charitably
hoped that this statement is a mis-
print, because the snure possibility OF
rejection constitutes alone the strong
est argument in favor Of submission.
The organic act OF u people should be
first solemnly sanctioned and ratified
by clear and unmisyt.hable assent
| by themseive: and every effort should
| be made to ascer tain The nndoubted
and we'll defined verdict OF the people
| before any law, so sacred and funaa-
mental as 81 constitution, becomes L
fixed and unalterab!e enactment.
Objections are numerous against the
present constitution, as to the name
Of the state and salaries OF the officers;
also as to the unjust apporsionment OF
representatives liz The legislature. AS
at present fixed, Brute county has three
representatives i'll the legislature,
Aurora county has two and Dawson
county has only obe. Numerous like
instances exist.
The term OF Office uf the men elected
in 1855 has expired--some have died or
moved away. Some, VINO never die or
move away. are still ready to put On
the tosa by virtue of that premature
election in 1885, tut the general one OF
bitter laugh seems to indicate that the
people look upon the election of 1885
as satire and a joke.
J, In comparing the work of the SiouX
Falls convention with other similar
work, it is seen that there are essentials
omitted ard some matters usually
legislative, are inserted. These points
give force to the criticism that the
, constitution of 1855 is crude and i'm.
perfect. A REPUBLICAN,.

Chairman Riley. OF the Democrat state
committee, said. in reply to question
as TO the result of the election as far as

yehemence as eve, that perfectly relia-
BILE figures show majority for Goft,"
and that nothing can prevent his being

the rival parties shows that the total diff
ference between the two sets of figures
is about $50. In every instance the to-
tails in controversy arc i'll back coun-

The REPUBLICAN is in receipt of the
following queries:
Is there a prohibition clause in the
Sioux Falls constitution, or has there
ever been vote taken on prohibition
by the territory as a whole, or by
either north or south Dakota?
There is a prohibition clause in the
Sioux Falls constitution as follows:
No person or corporation shall man
ufacture or aid in tae manufacture for
sale of any intoxicating liquor; 40 per-
son shall sell or keep for sale as a bever-
age any intoxicating liquor. The legisla-
ture shall by law prescribe regulations
for the enforcement OF the provisions
of this section and provide suitable
and adequate penalties for the viola
tion thereof.
This clause was voted on by the
state of South Dakota in November,
1885, receiving 1852 votes for and
1928 against, a majority of 334 in
favor of prohibition.

A correspondent in another column
makes some points worthy of consid-
Grafton in connection with the discus
sion of the Sioux Falls constitution;
but he weakens the force and effect of
the argument by betraying a desire to
score a personal point against some of
the worthy gentlemen who hold differ
ent views. The REPUBLICAN would
take the liberty of suggesting that
there is no occasion to reflect on the
Judgment or impugn the motives Of
the principals on either side of the
question. The new state can be best
served by the harmonious action of
her citizens, after a full and frank
discussion shall have disclosed the

The Minneapolis Tribune has can
vassed the sentiment in Dakota with
reference to the popular choice for
governor should successor to Church
nave to be appointed. In the south there
is an all but unanimous expression in
favor OF Hon. A. c. Mellette, while
the north speaks up almost as one
man for Ex-Governor Pierce. In either
event Dakota would have right good
executive, though Melletto's appoint
ment would be the more logical so far
as south Dakota is concerned, as he
could then step from the territorial
into the state executive office; and
north Dakota could make no wiser
choice than that Of Gov. Pierce as one
of her first senator's.
