An Equivalent for Suicide.

II We allow our bodily infrmities to make
away with us through neglect. have We such an
immense moral advantage over the deliberate
suicidep Scarcely. For example, the deadly
progress Of Bright's disease, diabetes, acute
hephitis and gravel is sure-often terribly swift
In the catastrophe. Most people Of average in
formation know that this is the simple, unvar.

maladies. To delay judicious medication ID
specially suicidal in such cases. The means Of
restraint is to be found in Hostetter's Stomach

THE POGLTRY-YARD.
Poultry In Orchards.

In several localities observations have
been made of orchards in which poultry
have been yarded, and the conclusion is
that f%ruit-growing and poultry-raising
are joint occupations. A cherry tree in
"a poultry-yard that has yielded no fruit
for years, the american Poultry Journal
says, was this season literally loaded
down with fruit, and of such quality and
freedom from injury as to surprise the
owner. No insects seemed to have APP
peared, and the tree also gave signs Of
renewed vigor and health. Nor is this
applicable to cherry trees alone, but to
other kinds of fruit. The fowls did not
roam over extended areas, but were kept
in a yard of limited Dimensions, which
compelled them to busy themselves in
the earth neal the tree, their presence
apparently preventing the depredations
of insects. But how the fowls managed
to keep off the insects that fly from
point to point can only be accounted for
by supposing that instinct prompts the
parents not to deposit eggs on trees that
are within the limits of danger. The
yisftsof insects are for the purpose of
propagation, and nature has ordained
that they use caution in order to protect
their young, which often descend to the
earth. This is a theory, but it is a fact
that poultry are q protection to orchards,
awhateyerthe cause.

Feeding shells for Lime.

Aslthe hens will not eat oyster shells
when ground as fine as meal, and prefer
the large, coarse pieces, it is doubtful,
says all exchange, if oyster shells assist
in supplying lime for the egg shells. and
are rather eaten because of being sharp
and assisting to grind their food in the
gizzard. Oyster shells arc as insoluble
as limestone, or any other carbonate of
lime, and cannot therefore be utilized as
food. If lime is to be given to fowls 1t
can best be done In the drinking water,
as the freshly burned lime (hydrate,
when slaked) is the best form for the
purpose.
The lime Of the egg shell can be Sc
cured from the food very easily If the
hens are supplied with plenty of grass
and a variety of food. The grains are
deficient In lime, and when the hens are
confined and fed entirely on grain, the
eggs will have soft shells, no matter how
well the hens may be supplied with
pounded oyster shells. Inssome sections
OF the country, oyster shells are seldom
seen, yet there is no difficulty In regard
to the hardness OF the egg shells. The
oyster shells promote digestion. by as

A GREAT many people seem to think
the Alliance and Independent party
identical. This is erroneous. In the
declaration of the principles of the Al
lance we assert that one of the pur-
poses Of the order is to benefit our
selves politically. This can be done,
according to Milton George. the
founder Of the Alliance, either
through existing parties or through
an Independent party. In Nebraska
the movement was Independent, and
was successful beyond a degree hoped
for by many Of the most sanguine of
our members. We have two congress
men out Of three and a majority on
Joint ballot over both Democrats and
Republicans in the next legislature.
This has given MS encouragement, and
we are going to have every state Official
two years hence. Haven't the people
a right to do this kind of work. Why

The Silver Bill.

When congress was petitioned for
free coinage Of silver, the pretence
was set up, that such a bill was more
in the interest of the farmers, than in
the interest of the silver men, for it
would have added to the value of farm
products from twenty to thirty per
cent, thus giving to them about one
fourth more to settle balances. The
interest of the farmers. when the gold
mendlctate legislation, goes unheedtd.
So congress deprives the farmer of
this means of paying and puts on a
tariff to increase taxation. All done
for their benefit, of course it is, done
to make products cheap. Thus the
circulating medium is contracted, to
make farm products cheap and u tariff
il added to make manufactured pro-
ducts dear. a two edged sword that
cuts both ways.-Gtadbrook (Ia.) Labor

The New York World says: ''The
Alliance men of Kansas made a great
feature in the late campaign of adj
vertising their poverty. In this they
wer%esuccessful, but it was not a val
liable advertisement for Kansas as a
farming country" The country"
had nothing to do with the gricy-
ances of which the Farmers Alliance
complained. The soil and the eli
mate are not responsible for the de-
preston of the agricultural industry
in Kansas. There is no other state
in the union where farming car be
made so renunerative under proper
conditions, as in Kansas, or where it
can be carried on with as small an
outlay Of LABOR and money. The
farmers movement in Kansas was or
ganized for the purpose of correcting
abuses which have prevented the
tillers of the soil from realizing the
results to which they are entitled by
reason Of the superior advantages
which the state affords IN the way of
natural facilities for a profitable cul-
tiration of the soil. When they OBJ
tain the concession which they are
now in a position to demand, Kan
sas will present the most inviting
field for agriculture between the
Atlantic and Pacific oceans.-Kdasas
