THE STATUTORY ENACTMENT or 1888.
During the Legislative session OF 1889
Senator William r. Hackney, Of Cowloy
county, introduced Senate bill No. LAB,
which was entitled "An net 10 preserve
the purity Of the judiciary"
In the state senate there werc thirty
two votes forIt, and there wereeight votes
cast against H. The vote Of the house
upon II was, yeas 81, nays 7. In the SEN
ate there we're ten abgentees and thirty
seven In the house.
The act was approved on March 8,
1888, and It provided, "That all ballots or
votes cast at any election for any person
holding the Office OF judge Of the district
court, or Of justice Of the supreme court,
except for a judicial Office, shall be
deemed and held TO bo void, and shall
not be counted by the judges and clerks
at any election, nor by any canvassing
board, nor shall any record Of the same
be made by any canvassIng board, nor
any certificate Of election issued there.

That "any person violating the pro
visions Of this act shall be deemed and
held TO be guilty Of misdemeanor, and
on conviction thereof shall be imprisoned
in the county Jail not less than three nor
more than six months"
And yet, in the face OF this directly
plain statute, Judge II. w. stuTges, of the
Twelfth district, Is a candidate before the
republican nominating convention in the
Fifth Congressional district, and Theo-

candidate in the Seventh Congressional

THE UNEQUAL Distribution OF rOPULA.
TroN IN TIM DISTRICTS.
Referring TO the five judicial districts
in which elections occur for judges Of thC

seen that the Sixth and Eleventh dis
trlCts have, each Of them, more than -four
times the population that the Twenty.

much as che Twenty fourth.
There might be a considerable lesr
number OF district judges in the state

distribution; and from twenty 10 twenty

But in the event Of republican majority
in the next house Of representatives, and
with 3 chief executive Of the state of the

judicial districts could be looked fol

year now promise to DO rather scanty, anC
as the days move on there is but LITTLE
good reason for believing that there will
be an improvement on that part OF tn,

POULTRY PARAGRAPHS.

DON'T be ''chicken-hearted," nor too
greedy, in wedding out the culls.
DON'T crowd the fowls. Success de-
ponds in great measure upon this.
HENS do not eat their eggs unless
they learn the habit from having eggs
broken in the nest Never use stale or
frozen eggs as nest-eggs.
In buying poultry for breeding pur-
poses go to some reliable breeder who
has his reputation at stake. Itmay cost
little more for the birds, but the buyer
can depend on what he gets. Culls are
expensive at any price.
To MAKE good, warm breakfast for
forty fowls boil heaping half-peck of
potatoes, mash them, add one quart
each OF shorts and bran, teaspoonful
each of salt and pepper, and finish by
e1ding hot water enough to mix into q
tiff dough.
Fowls need far more care during
damp, rainy weather than during the
clear, cold weather Of winter, or the dry,
warm weather of summer. Dampness
engenders numerous disorders, many
of which are difficult to cure. There
fore, it is better to use preventive meas
nres than to administer medicines when

Reproducing Power of the Liver.

A scientific fact of great value, and
one which should bring comfort to le-
gions of that large class of persons who
are weary of the caprices of an era tic
or tardy liver had proved that large
portions of the liver can be removed
without serious disturbance to the ami
NAL functions of the human body The
explanation of this curious fact seems
to be that the liver has wonderful
power of reproduction. Pontick found
that, within few days of the removal
of portions of the liver, the work of it's
reproduction began, and that it pro-
oeeded with great rapidity to compile
ton. In certain cases he found that
within period of a few weeks as much
has been reproduced as has been re-
moved. and this amounted occasionally
to twice as much as had been left be-
hind. These Investigations have an in
terest altogether outside ct that which
is absolutely scientific, because they
can not fail to influence the develop,
ment of abdominal surgery, if it is un-
derstood that large portions of the liver
may be removed without serious danger
to ife.-Richmond Despatch.

This table was taken from the Amer
lean Home and Farm Cyclopedia,
and suppose is approximately correct
1t will be seen that barley holds its own
in flesh-forming constituents, and in
fattening properties it almost equals
corn and rye and has nearly three times
the value Of oats in this respect. I
have grown barley for several years
as feed crop and have fed it to horses,
cattle, sheep and hogs with very salts
factory results. Especially do consider
it valuable feed to fatten hogs for early
fall markets. 1t can be had very soon
after harvest is over, before new corn is
fit for feed, and when ground and fed in
heavy slop form it is unsurpassed as a
flesh and fat former. These two quail
ties are 50 nicely combined as to mako
very quick returns in intelligent feed
ing. I have fed it mixed with bran to
ewes and lambs with good results. The
spring barley known as the Meusury is,
suppose, the most profitable kind to
grow. With fairly good land it will
yield forty bushels per acre, and with
the Irvine binder to harvest it the crop
is easily secured and the handling of it
small matter. l have had good success
in getting good stand of clover with
the spring sowing of barley, much bet
ter than where attempted with oats.
Taken all in all, think it is one of the
most profitable farm crops for the farm
er to raise.-Orange Judd Farmer.

FRUIT CULTURE.
This Is Short Article, But Well Worth
Reading.


Reading.
There is charm about fruit culture,
says the Western Rural. People go to
California and pay hundreds of dollars
an acre for fruit lands. They go to
Washington and pay two hundred dol
lars an acre for land that would not sell
for more than forty dollars per acre at
the outside for other purposes. And yet
none of us need be told that fruit cult
ure does not always pay. Still it is per-
haps true that years together, if proper
ly managed, it will pay we'll. AS is
frequently remarked, one great obstacle
to successful fruit growing is found in
the increasing insect enemies. But they
are an enemy that increased knowledge
and persistence will enable US to con-
quer. The necessary knowledge to do
this is being rapidly spread. Our exper-
iment stations are giving constant at
tention to finding the best means Of
fighting insects, and they are doing a
grand work in that direction.
When the kerosene emulsion was rec
commended very excellent insecticide
was found; and now the arsenites have
been tried and found to be about perfec-
ton as insecticides. We can get the
best of the insects if we try.
It will not do to attempt to grow fruit
without the necessary knowledge to do
it. People in the city often go into the
country and try it. They imagine that
all there is to do is to plant tree, and
10! the fruit will come. They are disap-
pointed, as every one with knowledge Of
fruit growing expects they will be. But
unfortunately lack of knowledge is
not confined to the amateur fruit grow
er: A good many people who were born
on farm and have lived ON a farm all
their lives seem not yet to have learned
that if a crop of fruit is to be grown,
the plants that grow it, or the trees that
grow it, must have attention as we'll az
other crops.
