Our Pecksniff President and tho Two Sem
ators from Illinois.
There will be two influential gen.
tlemen at the meeting of the next Con-
gress who arc likely to make Presi-
dent Harrison put in very uncomfort-
able time. They represent the great
State of Illinois in the United States
Senate, and they claim the right to de-
termine certain Government appoint
ments in that State, according to the
views once held by the President
when he was a Senator. Senator Far
we'll is particularly exercised in mind
over the way he has been ignored as
to Illinois appointments. The Presi-
dent never consulted him or Senator
Cullom about the Minister to England
or the collector at the capital of the
State. Hence, both Senators are in
an unpleasant frame of mind at what
they consider an implied insult. Mr..
FarwelI has already expressed his
sense OF the situation in very
emphatic terms: Il am tired
of shillyshallying, and, as l re-
marked to the President the
last time / saw him, I have no de-
sire or intention of getting down upon
my knees and begging for favors." 1t
looks very much, then, as if there was
sultry time ahead for Baby McKee,
grandpa from the Illinois corner of
the Senate Indeed, there is excellent
ground to believe that the admins
tration will be subjected to a fire of
hostile criticism from many leaders of
it's own party for its failure to satisfy
the demands of the boys. Even Wanna
makers lord high executioner does
not expedite business to suit them, al
though he has already beaten the
record. We may look for the oblitera-
ton of the surplus in q short time
after the fifty-first Congress convenes
by reckless appropriations and free
scope to the horde Of jobbers that tho
return of the spoils party will bring
back to Washington. Harrison may
be obliged to throw open the doors of
the treasury, as well as of any choice
Offices he has left, to satisfy all COM
ers. particularly those two Illinois
Senators whom he has unfortunately
offended. 1t Is not the pleasantest
thing in the world to hold the bag in a
grand party grab game.-Albany IN.

Mr.. Russell Harrison has no
Federal Office in Montana to "barter"
except such as are graciously supplied
by his father, the President. The
young mans high-handed perform
ances are just what might be expected
from an ambitious youth without
brains Or moral ballast; but the con-
duct of the President in furnishing
him with stock in trade of Federal
offices for purposes of barter is rs
tonishing, though in the line of his
whole course in the appointment of
Federal officials. Ameri-
can.
Harrison is President, the Re.
puhicans have a majority in both
Houses, Jarrett has the Birmingham
Consulship. Carnegie has returned to
Europe to dazzle its pauper aristocrats
with his munifcence, and the $500
employees of his Homestead Mills have
his ultimatum, to sign scale reduo-
ing wages an average of 20 per cent.
for the whole of Harrison's term, or
be turned out by a larger force of de-
tectives and special officers already in
charge of the mills. As a contem.
porary remarks. this may be all
right, but it is not what the men were
taught to expect when they followed
Carnegie and Jarrett to the poles in

Total expenses Of tobacco CROP. Ss3s 10
Product on four acres at 800 pounds
per acre 8, 200 pounds. Cost z 16-100
cents per pound.
This cost can only be reduced by cul
tivating better land and increasing the
yield, employing less labor and thus
increasing its efficiency, restoring the
elements to the soil and thus keeping
up its fertility, producing home sup
plies and thus saving transportation,
cultivating less land and cultivating il
better, and, above all, in the practice
of a rigid supervision by the owner in
all the operations of the farm, and thus
save waste, wear and tear, and losses
in tools. stock and time.
The yield oftobacco could be greatly
increased and the land preserved j.:
some such methods were adopted. The
profits of tobacco planting depend
much more upon the amount grown
upon an acre than upon the number of
acres cultivated. An increase in the
yield of double the present quantity
would double the profits and improve
the soil.

chicken-kiIling Dogs.

To cure a dog of killing chickens
take the chicken that has been killed,
by the legs, and after beating the dog
with it, pass the legs each side of the
dogs neck and tie the feet together,
so that the chicken hangs securely
fastened to the dog. After carrying
the chicken around for day or two,
the dog will be SO thoroughly disgust
ed with chickens in general that he
will not be apt to trouble them again.

HERE AND THERE.

"A bushel of corn is worth nearly
three bushels of oats for fattening
hogs or other stock, but oats make a
better food, owing the larger proper
ton of nitrogen and mineral matter
contained therein.
1t is better to allow fat hens to set
than to attempt to prevent them from
incubating. If allowed to stay on the
nest until they lose flesh they will lay
better than if "brok en- up" from set
ting.
Sweet potatoes should be cultivat-
ed well until they begin to run. They
will not thrive if the weather is very
wet, and the more air and heat admit
ted to the roots the better, so as to
give them an early start.
1t has been demonstrated that
horses can feed on ensilage with adj
vantage. and that where they are not
required to do service, as in winter, an
allowance Of thirty pounds of ensilage
per day will keep horses in good con-
dition.
The farmers in Mercer County.
KY, complain of a parasite which saps
the life out of the wheat. Some sales
have been made of crops at 62a cents
per bushel, but many are holding for
a better price.
Frequent churning is better than
retaining the cream from separate
milkings, as mixture of cream of diff
ferent ages is usually the cause of
poor butter The best butter is made
by churning the cream as it is ready.
If you are annoyed by the appear
ance OF warts on the turkeys and
chickens you will find a sure remedy
in the common molasses. One appli-
cation will often remove them. If
they do not disappear in a week try
again.
"A good appetite indicates good
health. 1t is no disadvantage to have
an animal that is heavy feeder.
Such animals usually produce pro-
portionately to the quantity consumed.
The food is simply the material to be
converted into products.
Experiments by the New York
Dairy Commission show that oleomar-
garine will not dissolve and digest in
the human stomach in it's natural and
ordinary temperature, and it is, there
fore, an Improbable substance as food.
Before sending new potatoes to
market it will pay to carefully assert
them. 1t is not the large potatoes that
always bring the highest prices, but
those of uniform size. When large
and small potatoes are mixed the small
ones lessen the value of the larger, and
effect the price of the whole.
