THETARIFF QUESTION.
Another feature of the political situa-
ton should inspire Republicans with ire
sistible strength. The present national
administration was elected with the re-
peated assertions of its leading
supporters in every protection State that
no issue on the tariff was involved. How
ever earnestly Republicans urged that
question "a the one of controlling import
snee in the campaign, they were met by
the Democratic leaders and journals with
persistent evasion, concsalment and de-
NAL. That resource the President has for
tunately removed. The issue which the
Republicans maintained and the Demo
Gratis avoided in 1884 has been prominent
" and specifically brought forward by the
Democratic President. and cannot be hid
den out Of sight in 1888.
SOME POLITICAL RANT.
THE country is now in the enjoyment
Of an industrial system which in quarter
of a century has assumed larger national
growth, a more rapid accumulation, and
broader distribution of wealth than were
ever before known TO history. The Amer.
ican people will now be openly aud formal
ly asked to decide whether this system
shall be recklessly abandoned and new
trial be made of an old experiment which
has uniformly led to national embarrass
ment and widespread individual distress.
On the result of such an issue, fairly pre-
sented to the popular judgement. there is
no room for doubt.
LEAKS IN THR OLD JUNK.
Zone thing is necessary to assure sue
cess, complete harmony and cordial coop
Grafton on the part of all Republicans, on
the part both OF those who aspire to lead,
and of those who are eager 10 follow. The
duty is not one merely of honorable devo-
tiOn to the party whose record and whose
aims are alike great, but IL is one demand
ed by the instinct Of self interest and by
the still higher promptings of pat
riotism. A closer observation Of the
conditions of life among the older nations
gives one q more intense desire, that the
American people shall make no mistake in
choosing the policy which inspires labor
with hope and crowns it with dignity,
which give safety to capital and protects
its increase, which secures political power
to every citizen, comfort and culture to
every home.
A PRIVATE CITIZEN.
''TO this end, not less earnestly and
more directly as a private citizen than as
public candidate, shall devote myself
with the confident belief that the admins
tration of the government will be restored
to the party which has demonstrated the
purpose and the power to yield it for the
unity and the honor Of the Republic, for
the prosperity and progress of the people.
/ am, very sincerely yours,

PRESERVING EGGS.
A Fow Rules That Are Worthy OF Notice
and Confederation. t.

A Fow Rules That Are Worthy Of Motto.
and Consideration. L
Although there are dozeus OF meth,
ods for preserving eggs, yet but few
OF them are worthy Of notice. LINED
eggs have been almost unsalable this
year, and the lime method will soon
be discarded. We give below q few
rules that will enable our readers to
preserve eggs in good condition for
at least three months, though eggs
have been kept as long US six months
by the process.
1. Always use fresh eggs, and do not
rely on those from your neighbor.
You must know that every egg is
fresh, as one stale egg may injure all.
2. Use eggs only from hens not in
company with cocks, as such eggs will
keep three times as long as those. con-
tanning germs OF chicks. p
8. Keep them in u cool place-the
cooler the better. Anywhere near forty
deg. above zero will answer, though
sixty deg. will be cool enough for q
few months. Only be careful that eggs
do not freeze.
4. Turn them half over three times q
week, to prevent them from adhering
TO the shells. The turning of the eggs
Is very important, and is one OF tho so
crets OF success.
8. No packing material Is necessary.
Simply lay them on racks or shelves;
though, II preferred, they may be
packed In boxes, In dry oats, and the
boxes turned.
6. Solutions, greasing the eggs, egg
preserving preparations, etc., are un-
necessary, as some Of them injhre the
Of the eggs.
q Wash every egg clean before
placing 1t with the others.
II tho above rules are followed there
will be no difference between eggs so
preserved and those that are fresh.
No person can succeed in preserving
eggs who buys them from all sources,
and who does not know Just when
every ogg was laid, and It is on that
point that SO many failures occur.
You can not place any dependence on
eggs except from your own hens. !
Even your neighbor is sometimes un-
able to prevent getting stale egg in
among the fresh ones. Never use
stale eggs as nest eggs, or allow sit

Give the Boys a Colt.

Let your boy own colt. Let 1t be a
blooded one If you can afford it-at
least let 1t have a good sire. Encourage
the boy to keep It in good condition
and handsome in appearance, thus
getting him accustomed to habits Of
care which will stand him in good
stead when he comes to handle other
kinds Of stock. Encourage him to
develop his steed in every way except
one-and that is in speed competitions,
Whatever YOU do keep him out OF tho
fair ground trot or pace, and teach him
that he Is not to learn how much value
a good horse can be to a jockey, but Of
how much use it can be TO a man.

POULTRY PARASITES.
Helpful Hints In Relation TO the variou
Lice Infesting Hen-Houses,

| Heipful Hints In Relation TO the various
Lice Infesting Hen-Housos.
The chief Of the lot is the red mite,
which is a very small parasite. Unless
very close examination is made, this
little fellow will escape observation.
Many persons suppose that the birds
are free from his depredations because
he is so diminutive as to escape notice,
but give him few days grace, and he
and his mate will multiply so rapidly
that countless millions will be present,
and In every crack and crevice.. 1t
will be only necessary to place a white
rag on the walls OF the poultry house,
or even touch any part with the hand,
to. find out II they are there. They do
more damage at night than during the
day, and as their small size enables
them to hide almost anywhere, the
best way to destroy them is to make a
thin, hot whitewash, add a tablespoon
full Of strong liquid carbolic acid to
each gallon of whitewash, and, with n
watering can, sprinkle (or pour, II
necessarily 1t into every portion ofthe
poultry house, and then follow with
swab or brush. Let no part of the
house eescape--roosts,w walls, nests, floors
and even tho roofs must be deluged.
The tick louse is large fellow,
nearly one-eighth of an inch in length,
dark in color with legs near the head.
He prefers the heads OF chicks, and
sticks close to his victim. He does not
like grease, and mixture of lard three
parts, crude petroleum one part, and
carbolic acid one-tenth part, rubbed on
the head, around the vent, with drop
under the throat, and good dnsting
Of the chick with Persian insect pow
der is more than his constitution will
endure, and he quickly succumbs or
leaves.
The flesh louse, so called because It
is nearly the color Of the flesh Of the
fowls, is very active, long in shape,
and feeds close to the roots OF the
feathers. A good dusting with Persian
insect ctpowder renders his location very
unhealthy, and once he is out of the way,
the dust bath will prevent his return.
The fiat louise is buff in color, and
eats portions OF the feathers, often
stripping the quilts clean, giving the
birds the appearance Of having lost
their feathers. Dust the fowls freely
with insect powder, and repeat three
times q week.
1t is important TO keep the quarters
clean. The whitewash solution should
be applied every week. II this is done
with sprinkler, 1t will require but a
few moments time. Dust Persian In.
sect powder over tho whole Of the in
terror OF the poultry-house, weekly,
also, and do not forget the outside of
the poultry-house.
Never grease any part OF a fowl or
chick except the top OF the head. tho
throat, around the vent, and the legs,
as grease on the body often kills
chicks. Provide clean dust bath of I
dry dirt, TO each bushel Of dry dirt 7,
adding half pound OF insect powder |
and tablespoonful of earhalie acid.
mixing the whole well. Keep the
house clean, and the birds win free
themselves Of lice with the dust bath.

THE LOCO WEED.
How to Treat Animals Suffering from It's
Dangerous Effects.

How to Treat Animals Suffering from Its
Dangerous Effects.
The loco or "crazyn weed, about
which ranchmen give various and
sometimes conflicting statements, Is the
subject of paper by Prof. Sayre, Of
the Kansas State University, and incor-
porated in report of the State Board
of Agriculture. According to the pro-
fessor there are two plants known as
the crazy weed common in Kansas,
Colorado and New Mexico, the astrag-
alus and oxytropis, both belonging to
the natural order OF leguminosie. Both
are attractive plants, and keep their
color all winter. The astragalus grows
on high ground, it blooms about June,
bearing a bright-hued flower; there arc
great many stalks proceeding from
the base. These stalks are compressed,
reclining towards the base and erect
and recurved above, with soft, silky
pubescence. The leaflets, usually in
pairs except the upper one Composed
of from ten to twenty pairs), are some-
what densely clothed with soft, silky
hairs, more woolly on the under side.
The flower stalk is usually longer than
the leaf stalk, naked below, bearing a
rather thick spike of flowers.
The following is summary OF the
effect of loco, based on personal in
quiry among ranchmen, by Prof.
Sayre: The animal unaccustomed to
the weed will not touch 1t as long as
good feed is to be had, but after once
partaking of it-driven to it in early
spring by the want of green vegeta-
tion--soon comes to prefer 1t to any
other food, and finally refuses any
other, leaves the herd and wildly
searches for loco. The first effect upon
the animal is hallucination. When
led or ridden up 10 some triaing OBJ
struction, such as bar or rope ly-
ing In the road, he stops short, and II
urged on leaps over 1t as II it were a
rail fence four feet high. Seemingly
the optic nerve is affected; all sense OF
distance and dimension seems TO be
lost; barn near at hand Is to him
afar off, and one n mile away near by.
He will go headlong against barn or
rock, or over precipice, as II he were
totally blind. The animal will, per-
haps, let one get close to him, then
suddenly and wildly run away at full
speed and as suddenly stop, turn
around, and it may be, como right
back, stop short, stare, land act like
mad.n
A treatment recommended by DIR.
Harding and given by the Professor
for locoed animal Is as follows,
'Pulverized extract belladonna, 10
grs; corrosive sublimate, to II grs.
licorice, o.; glycerine, q. s. Mix.
Make thin paste, and give a table,
spoonful. The belladonna and mer-
curry may be increased according to
the severity Of the symptoms. Opium
combined with the belladonna might
be advantageous at the beginning Of
the disease. Mild and non-irritating
articles of food only should be given,
such as oil cake, ETC." A veterinarian
In Garden City recommended the APP
plication of blister behind the ear.
This might be good, as also any coun-
application along the spine,
