We think no one will venture
to say that we are incorrect when
we suggest that our Republican
friends are very much disappoint-
ed in their late defeated candidate
for congress, Mr.. ssFud" McGinnis.
"Fnd" is now engaged in making
contest for the seat of Hon.
John ID. Anderson and short
time ago his whilom hackers were
predicting that he would virtually
have a walk oyer when tho matter
came up before congress. They
are not so sanguipe now. The
reason is not that the circum-
stances Immediately surrounding
the contest have changed, for they
have not. II is universally con-
coded that the Republicans have !
small majority III the house,
which though small is still large
enough to decide in favor Of "Fud''
il ii saw fit to do so. The chief
reason for this change of opinion
IS tire ss6seiit.ss 81 tie WIS that
was formerly the father Of the
thought. Nine out Of ten Of the
Republicans in Kanawha county
don't care a continental w!lpathcr
"Fud ever goes to congress or not.
1t is well know that he has been
spending a great Of portion of his
time in Washington consulting
with other defeated Republican
candidates from this state, the OBJ
ject being to. parcel ont the fed
cral patronage in this state. In
this division "Fud" seems to have
been beautifully left, and as7
result the boys who did the hard
work for him are Kicking But
this is not all. There are num-
Der of smaller Offices IN which
considerable interest was mani
tested by the faithful, and there
were several aspirates for each.
lin these it seems that Fud" has
again put his foot in it, It has
leaked out, that he has made
promises to certain parties that he
would do certain things for them
and, Judging from what is said
about iton the streets, he has ac-
ted about as unwisely as he could
in nearly every case. Judging
from these and other things that
have characterized his course
since he became u candidate, we
have arrived at the conclusion
that there will be few if any tears
shed IN Republican circles if

Boze.

Boze was a big, brown dog who
seemed to know almost everything that
was said to him. He lived next door
too Sophie and, as his master had
no children, he thought it great fun
to play with his little neighbors.
Sophie's three brothers used to call
him to the fence, and then race with
him from one knot-hole to another.
If he reached the hole first, he
would try to put his nose through,
and bark with joy. Sometimes his
mistress would give him basket
with money and a note in it: he
knew that was meant for the butcher.
With covered basket he went to the
fruit store, and with tin pail to the
grocer. He never made mistake,
and he paid no attention to anybody
as he went up and down.
Sophie was out walking once with
Boze and his master, Mr.. Lane, when
she asked, "Does Boze understand
every word we say"
81 don't know was the reply;
'sbut we will try him. | will leave
nv knife on this rock, and by and by
we will send him back for it..
They had walked quite a long way,
and Sophie was afraid the knife
would be lost, when MI. Lane took
his keys from his pocket, and said,
IT have left my knife on that rock:
Boze, you 60 back and get it,
After smelling of the keys, the dog
started back, and soon returned with
the knife in his mouth. Sophie was
so pleased that she could not help
hugging him and calling him her dar-.
ling Boze.
A few weeks after, they all went to
a picnic. AS some little girls were
going for walk, Mr.. Lane told Boze
to 90 with them, and take care of
them.
When they turned to go back,
Sophie took off her veil and put it on
a bush. ''I'll leave it there" she
said, 'sand after while Boze will go
back for it,
Tee other girls did not believe he
would, and begged her not to leave
it; but Sophie was firm.
When they had gone a long way,
she took off her hat and looked at it,
saying in loud tone, like Mr.. Lane,
Il have left my veil on that bush:
Boze, 60 back and get it,
But the dog had no idea of mind
ing anybody but his master. He
capered about, and smelled of the
hat. but not step would he go after
the veil. After trying long time,
Sophie was obliged to go back her
self, while the rest of the girls wait
ed under a tree.-Cldrd @. DOLliUer,

Calving Cows.

If properly managed there need be
no trouble with them, and yet at the
same time often there is; and in a
majority of cases nearly or quite all
OF 1t could have been avoided if the
proper treatment had been given.
At the start, as with all other
breeding stock, she should be accus-
toned TO being handled, so that in
case she needs assistance it can be
given without unduly exciting her
The best plan, of course, is to let ma
ture ia Ike its course, and never disturb
only when strictly necessary, and
then only to the extent of properly
relieving her, and as far as possible
making her comfortable. While Or
caslonally accidents will occur. and
some times help is needed, yet in a
majority of cases with the proper care
In feeding and caring for her during

IS because proper care is not taken at

cause of the trouble.

The Colorado Beetle.

1t is painfully evident that the Col
orado beetle has come to stay, and
there is to be perpetual warfare be-
tween the farmer and his bugship.
| have hunted in vain for that "bug-
proof variety: we'll knowing that
when found, fortune is secured.
There are many varieties put upon
the market with this recommendation
but they have all failed within me,
yet some stand the ravages of the
pests better than others. Paris green
is the only practical remedy the farm
er has, which can be easily and safe
ly applied. Just the right amount
properly applied will destroy the lar
vac, and not injure the crop, while an
overdose is more damaging than the
bugs. Five years ago [ made one
hundred tests, to determine the exact
amount to use, the best method of
application, and the effect on the
crop. The following gave the best
results: Presuming that the Paris
green is pure, teaspoon rounding
full (not heaping), of the poison put
into two gallons of water, and we'll
mixed. Use fine sprinkler, and APP
ply only enough to wet the tops of
the vines. Do not pour it on so that
the liquid will run down the stems to
the roots. By this, every leaf be-
comes poisoned, and once eating wilt
exterminate that Matching. On early
varieties, one application is usually
sufficient, but when the weather is
hot and dry, a second is often nee
essary. The second crop usually APP
pears in about three weeks, when a
like treatment should be observed.
Considerable damage may be avoided
by crushing or chopping the refuse
tubers Of the cellar and soaking them
in Paris green liquid and strewing
them between the rows, just as the
young plants are coming through the
ground. The damage at this period
is by the old bug that comes out of
the ground as soon as warm weather
comes. 1t is then very ravenous,
and attacks the tender sprouts, doing
them an injury from which they never
recover. They will leave the vines
to eat the potatoes strewn beside
them, and by this means many of
them are killed, and consequently the
early crop of young bugs is very light.
The application of Paris green in
plaster, flour and other substances,
is quite as effectual, the only consid-

Picked Up.

The most valuable goods, it is seid,

SO sometimes the most helpful sug-

and especially at this time, Corn
when fed too heavily is not only in
clined to make an animal feverish,
but is also constipating-two condi-
tions that at this time it is always de-
sirable to avoid.
At least two weeks before her time
a gradual change in her feed should
be made, especially if she has been
fed upon corn, principally giving her
bran, mill feed, chopped or ground
oats, or sheaf oats run through cut
ting box and mixed with bran, good
clover or millet hay, using a small
quantity of oil meal with any or all of
these. This will keep her bowels in
a good condition and reduce the ten
dency to fever. Oats will give her
more strength, and this is something
she often needs.
See that she is fed and watered
regularly. If fed with the other stock,
either in stanchions or loose all to-
gether, few days before her time is
out she should be separated and be
put at least in stall to herself
where she will not be molested.
Give her time to gat accustomed to
her quarters, snd supply with suffici-
ent bedding to keep herself clean.
Her bag should be watched. Ordi-
narily there will be no trouble if af-
ter the calf sucks all it wants the rest
is MIXED out clean. The first two
days this should be done at least
three times day. If there are the
least symptoms of caking, or if the
bag seems feverish, battle with rea-
sonably warm water, kneading and
rubbing and milking, so that as far
as possible the caking can be made to
disappear. Feed lightly yet not
stinting the food too much, but avoid
overlooking, and avoiding in this way
either extreme.
After the milk fairly comes, and
she is MIXED clean two or three times
if anything like good care is taken
there ought to be no further trouble.
A buse. neglect, OF improper feeding
is as rule, the direct cause of
large amount of trouble; and unless
change is made in these respects
there is no remedy only to take the
chances. But with fair treatment
there is no good reason for any diff
culty.-National Stockman and

The Farmers Daughter.

The ideal farmers daughter typi6es
all that is sweet, pnre and womanlv.
The American farmers daughter
should be the very highest type of
the American woman-healthy, pure,
intelligent and sensible. The country
needs just such woman, and we
have faith to believe that there are
thousands, yes, millions of them to-
day as true, as brave, as sensible,
and as full of patient devotion as
were the women of years ago, who
wrought so we'll the foundation of
our country's prosperity. All praise
is due to the true farmers daughter.
Would that we might say that all
country girls are worthy of this title.
Truth compels us to say that there
are country girls living unhappy, fret
fnl, discontinued lives on the farm.
Strange that many of them cannot
see that God has blessed them be-
yond measure by placing them where
they are. Strange that they cannot
see the great chances for enjoyment
and for doing good that are wasting
within their grasp. We are blind.
We cannot see the best of life till we
view it from behind. The discomfort
ed fault-finding girls will find many
truths in this issue. Many of them
homely truths, bluntly spoken and
barbed with facts, but they ars truths.
Let our girls think them over. And
mothers and fathers, too, may learn
a lesson of life here. Kindness may
kill. Indulgence may ruin. 1t is
the character that is tempered by re-
straint and self-denial stands firmly
against the wrong. One thing more.
Let no young woman feel that she
loses one atom of the respect due
from true manhood by perfecting
herself in womanly duties and pract-
zeal work. All honor to the farmers
daughter. All pity for the discon-
tented country girl.-Rural MeSseu-

Night Flowers.

There are some flowers that never
see the sun. One of the most Gu
rious is the evening primrose. About
six o'clock it bursts open, with a
slight popping sound.
If you watch this pretty flower,
and listen, you can hear this strange
performance.
This is why it does so. The little
calyx holds the petals in such a way
that the moment it turns back they
are let loose. At once it bursts out
into full flower, with this funny noise,
like pop-gun.

Counting the dancing notes in a
bar of sunlight sounds like one of
those hopeless, never-ending tasks
with which malignant fairies delight
to break the spirit of little heroines
in the German folk stories. Some
thing more than this, however, has
been achieved by modern science,
which is now able to count the parti-
Giles floating in any given portion of
the atmosphere, and determine what
proportion of these are dangerous
germs and what are mere dust. DR..
curious experiments have
shown us how to count the micro-or
ganisms, and now John Aitken, of
Falkirk, by totally different meth
cd, has been enabled to take stock of
the more harmless but hardly less in
teresting dust notes. Thirty thousand
such particles have been detected by
him in the thousandth of cubic inch |

power of prying into atmospheric Sc

all. Among the most curious discov-
cries already made is the direct rela-
ton between dust-particles and fog,
