Brown was a. iufidyl from youth. aud
was an early disciple OF Bob Ingcrsoll.
For wears he celebrated the birthday

SOUTH DAKOTA.

South Dakota's first State election de,
Eendei to a degrading scramble for the cap
hal location. There was no fighting on any
thing else.
Mollette is elected Governor by over TO-
oO majority and Pickler and Clifford go TO
Congress. The Republican majority in the
legislature will be at least 60, insuring the
election Of two Republican U. S. Senators.
The vote was enormous, probably $4,000
aud the trade and sale of ballots was based
on the capital fight. For the capital, Pierre,
Huron, Watertown, Chamberlain, Sioux
Falls and Mitchell were entered. The re-
ports received up to Wednesday morning in-
dicated vote for Pierre of $4,000; Huron,
1900 siouxtSalls, 1900; Mitchell, 1000,
and chamberlain, 5000.
All the ante-election talk of fraud proved
wind, the election being very quiet. and so
far as yet reported no frauds were attempted
and no fights permitted. Huron has not yet
given up the fight, and still claims to have
secured the capital, as also does Sioux Fall.
Owing to the great interest in the capital
contest but little attention was given to mi-
norty representation, and it was doubtless
defeated.
The fate Of prohibition hangs in the bal
Sncs. On square fight it would probably
have carried, but votes on this question we're
reckles'ly traded on the capital location.
and the vote whatever it is, will not fairly
represent the sentiments of the people of
South Dakota.

TERRIBLE WORK or CYCLONE ON THE MEX

TERRIBLE WORK or CYCLONE ON THE MEX
IoAN COAST.
The destructive coast cyclone that caused
the great loss TO shipping along the Atlantic
seaboard, switched into the Gulf and lashei
the coast Of Campeachy as It was never LASH
ed before.
The reports of the great storm have been
slow in reaching news centers, owing TO the
fact that telegraph lines connecting with
the Peninsula have been prostrated, and the
news was brought to Vera Cruz by a sailing
vessel.
What damage IL has done outside Of Isla
del Carmen is not known, but if il has been
as destructive as it was there, there can be
but little shipping left. The hurricane was
so strong in the city of Carmen that II pulled
trees up by their roots and deposited them
upon houses which they crushed like egg
shells.
The inhabitants were terrified, and mis-
siles of all kinds were flying about the streets,
knocking in windows, destroying vegetation
and keeping the people from seeking safety
In the open air. The scene among the sail
ors in endeayoring to save their vessels was
in some instances grand, and in others heart
rending. Vessel after vessel was driven
ashore.
An inventory Of the craft that are com.
pcte wrecks gives an oxac: idea of the de-
structiyeness OF the storm. OF II foreign
barks, some of them are high and dry on
the beach, others partially submerged, and
still others with their masts sticking out Of
the water. Two steamships and - schoon-
ers AMI many smaller craft complete the
list In Carmen harbor.
The number of lives lost still remain un.
told. II is expected that the Government
report OF the great storm will soon be pub
! shed, furnishing the only authentic news
which will ever be obtainable of the work
Of the hurricane.

PROTECTION OF HAY.

The use of hay caps is complete pro-
lection to the hay in case of rain, and
with sufficient number Of these caps the
whole crop may be left out safely and got
in in fine weather unimpaired by rain.
The caps are made of one and half yard
squares, which may be water PROCEED by
sleeping them first in a solution of sugar
of lead, then in one of alum, or by paint
ing them with any waterproof compost
ton. A hole is made in each corner and
a string loop fastens it down to a peg
pushed in the hay to hold it against the
wind.-Neo0 York Times.

Waste Of Natural Gas.

The american Manufacturer prints an
article calling attention to the waste of
natural gas which is going on in those
districts where it has been discovered in
abundance and devoted to practical ends.
The article gives figures gathered from a
certain number of factories in Pittsburg,
and the tables show that from twenty five
to thirty-ive per cent. of the whole
amount of natural gas consumed in these
establishments is wasted, either through
the use of defective apparatus or the care
lessness and Indifference of operatives It
cannot be said that there are reliable in
dications showing that there will be any
general failure of the gas supply in the
near future, but the dictates of ordinary
prudence are all on the side Of a consump-
ton which is adequate to the carrying on
of business, and not on the side of squan-
dering valuable fuel merely because it is
cheap and the supply seemingly mex
haustible,

HOW TO REAR YOUNG PIGS.

The following extracts are taken from
a paper read by DIR. G. H. Grimmell, be-
fore the American Poland-China Record
Association:
"There are a great many breeders and
raisers Of pigs, and each one has road
marked out tolerably well, and thinks,
perhaps, that his way is the best.
''And now for me to try to tell this
audience Of intelligent breeders and ex-
perts how to rear young pigs. First,
quietness about their quarters, as few
visitors as possible outside of persons in
charge, feed for dam for first few days
nothing but a little bran and water, a
nice clean bed Of hay, not too much so as
to heat or entangle pigs therein, but
sufficient for comfort, with good sunlight
on warm days, and a good ventilation,
clean troughs and good hygienic surround
ont, pen to be occupied by dam, have
pens and lots SO as to admit those Of the
same age to the same run.
Increase the sow's ratiOns IS the pigs
increase in age, by giving ground oats,
bran and a small portion of oil cake, till
the SOW supplies milk for the litter, never
feeding any sour swill to SOW, as that will
impair the young pigs digestive organs,
and you will have diarrhea, white scours
as called, from the deranged condition
by the fermentation Of sour sWill, through
the s0w's milk.
when the pigs are large enough, /
commence to encourage them by feeding
in separate trough, from the dam,
sweet milk, soaked corn in small quaint
tics and oats. and as soon as they Will
take hold Of same, give them liberal
supply Of ground oats, bran, oil cake and
soaked corn, never losing q minute but
to see if they are just loose enough to be
good hearty eaters at six weeks old; by
that time have them learned to do with
out the dam, which I turn out, and leave
them their old quarters to run in and out
at will; then feed them just what they
will eat clean from one feeding to the
next, and increase feed as their appetite
increases and they digest the same, never
allowing their feed to become sour, mix
ing my swill fresh morning and evening,
which they relish with an appetite fit for
king. Always keep appetite good,
bowels regular, clean quarters and above
all allow no constipation in your pigs"

COTTED FLEECE,

''Cotted' fleece in sheep is not con-
fined to any breed or country, but is
found among all races, everywhere. This
condition of fleece is caused in many
ways, and may be best understood as a
stoppage in the growth Of the wool and
yolk, caused by sudden change in the
environments of the animal, as from good
to poor food in winter, chased by dogs,
physical injuries and difficult partu-
rition. 1t sometimes occurs after hard
drive on the road, when the animals are
put in a cool or damp place and allowed
to rest; but one Of the greatest melting
causes is plunging them into cold water
at washing-time when they have been
overheated by driving. Thus it may be
seen that this deterioration of the fleece
results from some sudden adverse dis
turbance, and although the other effects
may speedily pass away, the fleece is per-
manently injured. Breeding ewes are
most liable to cotted fleece. Flocks in
which this condition is found most
largely are usually those which possess
delicate constitutions and a lack of
stamina. Where this occurs to sheep
two seasons in succession they should be
weeded out.-Neao York Tribune.

WHAT OATS REQUIRE.

Oats require long season for growth,
and cool weather; therefore SOW them
early, but do not SOW on frozen ground
with the expectation that they will sink
down in the mud and SOW themselves
This slipshod method will do for the poor
ignorant and wretched (no men more SOY
Egyptian ''fellahs" who scatter their seed
wheat on the rich mud left by the floods
of the river Nile, but not for an American
farmer sowing oats in the spring. For
this crop the land must be thoroughly
well plowed and harrowed-it should
be plowed in the fall, in fact-and the
seed must be we'll covered. And this is
to be done as early as possible. Three
years ago we sowed oats in a warm spell
in February but did not cover the seed
deep enough; hard frost in March
killed nine-tenths of the plants.-Neac

TRAINING HEIFERS.

The term ''breaking" as applied to the
domestic animals has an unpleasant sig
MITIGATION. 1t indicates bad management
forci5ly remedied. A calf or a colt
should be trained from its birth, and it
should be gradually led in the way it
should go-the word educated" has pre-
cisely the same meaning-by constant
progressive course Of kind and consid-
crate treatment. A heifer calf should be
weaned at its birth. If its natural in
stinctive proclvities are to be depressed
and obliterated, this is the time to begin,
before the germs of these have had op-
portunity to grow into a habit. Hence a
calf should not be permitted to suck the
dam and should be taught to drink from
pail. Have leather collar strong
enough to hold it, with a ring sewn in it,
and rope with snap hook to tie it with

SELLING EGGS BY WEIGHT.

There has, from time to time for years,
been attempts made to induce grocery
men and dealers generally, to sell eggs
by weight, but while some have attempted
it, they have gradually fallen back into
the old way Of selling by the dozen. The
housekeeper does not seem to take kindly
to the plan, and prefers to buy the eggs
as she has been accustomed to, getting a
few large ones and some small ores in
the dozen. But undoubtedly the just
way is to buy and sell by weight, as in
this way both buyer and seller would get
full value for eggs and money. 1t would
also have 2 tendency to stimulate the
breeding of a class Of fowls that would
lay large eggs, and so drive all the lay
ers of small eggs out Of existence. Any
observing person will notice that the lay
ers of small eggs, like the Hamburgs,
Polands, etc., are always in the minority
at our shows, which indicate that our ex-
hibitors like to combine the practical
with the beautiful, and that the fowls
known to be layers Of large or medium
sized eggs are the chosen birds.-Farm,
Field and St0ckman.
