yourself of this process the next best
way is to cut it from the cob, place it
on earthern plates, and carefully dry

oven. When used, soak over night in
sufficient cold water to just cover it,
and let it boil half an hour just before

to harness and submits cheerfuly to
labor. The farmer has no need of a
professional breaker to educate his
horses to GO in harness, for long years
of service have fixed in him the he

ess of breaking to undergo. and his
easy temperament responds naturally
to good feed, and he is quickly put in

"THE OUTLOOK,

Every indication points to a
publican victory in November.
The American people are aroused
and if the election were TO take
place the result would be a water
loo to the democratic party. The
enthusiasm manifested in Indiana,
New York, New Jersey and Con-
necticut, which are claimed to be
doubtful states, indicates to re-
publican victory. The democrats
may feel sanguine of success, but
it seems to be a thing of the past.
No people like the American peo-
pie will allow England to control
this country to their detriment.
The administration of Mr.. Cleve-
land has been one ofsuspieion and
doubt; it has caused the people to
look with amazement and anxious
expectation. No man feels safe;
the democrats in Office, not ex-
cepted. A change in the affairs

be a Democrat. [ have in the

colored votes as the best means
to secure protection to life in the

candidates, at the head of my
