water to fall near the pump. The conse-
quence is q slippery platform and muddy
ground all around. But this can be avoided
by a trough under the spout. like that shown
in the Illustration. Il does not interfere with

that drips. It is connected with the well by
a box reaching through the platform or 1t
may connect with the pump box.
Some farmers are inclined to peoh-pooh
devices like the first IS suggestive OF lazi-
ness, and those like the second as useless.
but the progressive farmer IS quick to see
the f~oolishness Of wasted energy and the adj
vantage Of everything that makes his home
and surroundings attractive.
Il will BE- well At this season to see what
little things can be done for the comfort Of
our brute friends, too. They at least need
warm stables, dry platforms. and plenty Of
good food and drink. a farmer told ne some
time ago that bran at SD and cotton seed at
s26 per ton did not pay, and that COWS are
warmer without a platform than with one.
He said he should feed only what hay and
corn fodder they needed. This farmer makes
ten pounds Of butter from the same number
Of cows that give my neighbor from twenty
SIX to twenty-eight pounds a week, with &
little bran, cotton seed and cob meal. On
this principle it would not pay 70 buy -four
for the family when they could subsist upon
corn and rye ground at the nearest mill. A
COW, if fairly well bred. likes nice food and
will remunerate the feeder well.
Stock should be cared for handsomely, if
good profits are expected. A clean stable is
desirable becausethe milking can be done
more quickly, and because it is warmer, be-
ing drier, and tho appearance and freedom
from odorare not Of least importance. Rub
bins aeow with card and brush benefits her
as much as a horse. The feeding Of concen-
trated grain foods pays in the increased
value Of fertility upon the farm the following
season as well as in the extra flow Of milk,
and the appearance Of the cow is always a
delight to the good farmer and an argument
in his favor. But don't give all the attention
to the cattle. The horses should be well
taken care Of, and will well repay attention.
A ma is known by the horse he drives.

skin, under such circumstances, should not
be exposed to cold, nor bathed in cold
water. Never battle when greatly exhausted,
nor within two hours after a meal for a fad
bath, or one hour for a partial bath. Prob
ably the best time TO battle Is just before go
ing to bed, as any danger Of taking cold is
thus avoided and another potent reason IS
that the complexion is improved by keeping

Damp air is not beneficial to the skin. The

and one feels depressed and debilitated, the
skin should be rubbed with a dry towel. If
the towel be wrung out OF brine and dried

a salt sponge-bath. This is also a great COM

Farmers In the Golden Northwest In
the Pinch of Poverty.

ST.. PAUL, Oct. 22.-The relief committee Of
the chamber Of commerce has presented .
startling report on the destitution existing in
the Dakotas. 1t says the suffering and desti-
tuition is much greater than has yet been re-
ported The report continues: ''Ramsey county

about 5000 are engaged in farming. The
frosts of last year cut off the crops
generally and the farmers were obliged
to mortgage their farms for feed. pro-
visions and clothing to carry them through last
winter. This spring personal property, such as
stock, machinery. &C.. WAS mortgaged for seed
and funds TO put IN the crop. There has been
a continual drouth throughout the entire sea-
son and the crops have been almost q total
failure. The borrowed funds entirely ex-
hausted. In Ramsey county alone there are
from 200 to 800 families entirely destitute. In
Nelson and Walsh counties there are also great
destitution and suffering. and there are prob
ably in this district of North Dakota not less
than 1000 families who are nearly or entirely
destitute.

LONGEVITY RATION CASES.
Army Oficers Waiting for q Decision
Involving 81, ,5OO,OO

Army officers are much interested in a
longevity ration case now pending before
Second Controller Gilkeson involving the ques-
tion Of pay for longevity rations for almost
every officer in the army. The total amount OF
all the claims involved 10 about million and a
half Of dollars. When the first claim was pre-
sented to the second auditor it was disallowed.
The Court Of Claims, however, decided that
officers were entitled under the law to allowance
for longevity rations and the Supreme Court
affirmed the decision. The second controller
still hesitates to allow the claims. as he is
doubtful as to whether the decision of the
which have already been settled. The second
controller has devoted much time and thought
to the case. and has finally written to the At
torney General asking his opinion on the ques-
ton.

PUBLICAN AAJORITY.
The reorganization Of the Senate in Decem-
Der will be made quite interesting by the ac-
QUESTION of the eight Senators from the new
born states. At the special session Of the Sem
ate after the 4th Of March there were 81 dem-
ocrsts and 80 republicans. When Congress
meets in December the republicans will have
at least 45 Senators. 1t is not yet certain which
party will get the two Senators from Montana.
II they 60 to the democrats
THE SENATE WILL STAND
45 republicans to SO democrats. Otherwise the
republicans will have Al and the democrats
only their present 81. The interesting thing
about the reorganization will be the
CLASSIFICATION OF THE EIGHT NEW SENATORS.
Under the Constitution the Senate must be
divided as nearly as may be into three equal
classes terms expiring two years apart,
from one class to another. The terms Of the
Senators IN one of these classes will expire in
81 OF the other in '9S and Of the third in '95.
years, but they cannot all come inte the class of
'95. Two only Of them can enter that class.
The rest will have to suffer
sHoRTENINa OF THEIR TERMS,
some to two years and some to four AT
present there are twenty-six Senators whose
terms expire in '95. In each of the other
classes there are twenty-five Senator's. Three
OF the new Senators will have terms expiring
in 81; three in SO and two in '95. All three of
the classes will then be even.
NO Law BUT PRECEDENCE.
There IL no law by which to determine which
Of the new men shall have short and which
long terms, and precedence furnishes but one
means Of deciding the question.
When the United States Senate was first
organized the question was decided by lot
drawing, straws. When Colorado was
ssrea and d's a RRs to BE
by the two Senators to decide their fortune.
Senator Teller then got term of but four or
i've months because the term of the class with
which fate cast his lot had almost expired.
This
SEEMED LIKE HARD LUCK,
but by paradox it was quite the reverse. By
having q term that expired so soon he was
thrown back upon the same legislature that first
elected him for reelection, and so got two
terms, a long one and very short one. Some
such thing may happen to some Of the new
Senators il in any case the legislatures hold
over for two years. However, they will have
to trust to luck for their assignments.
HOW THE HOUSE STANDS.
With the West Virginia cases in their present
condition the House without the members
from the new states has 164 republican and 161
democrats. There have been five deaths
Cox, democrat; Gray, democrat; Laird, republi-
can, Nutting, republican, and Townshend,
democrat
These do not change the status Of the parties
at all, as the deceased member will Be sue
ceeded by member Of his own party in each
case.
The five Representatives from the new states
add that much to the republican majority, Civ
ing them 169 members-a majority Of 8; but
only two more than quorum
