A Good Watering Device.

The cheapest and the best device for
watering fowls is an earthenware foun-
tain made expressly FOR the purpose. 1t
has the form of a cylinder with con-
cave top. In the side is small aperture
forming trough when the jar is on it's
side. Into this trough the water flows
only as fast as it is used by the poultry.
Thus the supply OF fresh clean drink is
kept continually before them. Filled
with hot water in winter it will not get
cold enough to freeze before night in a
fairly warm house. A substitute is an

Save Your Corn for winter.

Corn will not provide the hens with
egg material. We are aware that many
readers will smile when we tell them
that corn should not be fed to hens in
the summer; but facts are stubborn, for
corn is mostly starch, and if the hen is
to derive the materials from corn for the
production of eggs, she will have to eat
a quantity so large as to tax her fullest
capacity, the result being that she is
soon overfat, and vial then not lay AZ
all Corn is excellent in winter, be-
caused it then keeps the hen warm, but
during the summer season it is unneecs-
sary. Do not waste your corn by feed
ing it now, but retain it for winter use.
IT is not good thing to have dog

Planks Of Democratic Plattorms in States
Where Republicans Lost.
NEW YORK.
The Democratic party Of the state Of
New York, in convention assembled, 70
news the pledges of its fidelity to Demo
cratic faith and reaffirms the doctrines
Of the national platform Of 1888, adopted
at st. Louis We have not advocated
and do not advocate free trade. but we
steadfastly advocate the principles Of
tariff reform, believing that adherence
to the right alone carries in itself the
certainty of triumph. We heartily in.
dorse the honest and fearless admins
tration of the national government by
Grover Cleveland.
MASSACHUSETTS.
Meeting for the first time since the de-
feat of last year, we declare our con-
tinued and hearty support Of the cause
Of tariff reform for which we then con-
tended, and our firm conviction of its
success in the near future.
We reaffirm our demands for free raw
materials and lower duties upon the ne
cessities of life. We believe that free
wool, as provided for in the bill passed
by the Democratic majority of the last
house of representatives. is essential to
the prosperity Of the woolen industry,
upon which that Of the wool grower is
dependent, while it will afford relief to
all consumers Of woolen goods. We call
the particulars attention of the farmers
of this state. who have borne the heavy
burden of high tariff taxation without
any Of the prosperity promised them,
to the relief they will receive through
the reduction of customs taxes upon ar.
ticles which they use or consume.
OHIO.
The Democracy Of Ohio. in convention
assembled, approve the declaration Of
principles made by the national Democ
racy in st. Louis in 1888, and especially
that part of it demanding reduction o
tariff taxes. and we will continue tn,
battle for tariff reform until the cause o.
the people is triumphant.
We regard trusts, in whatever form
organized, as the legitimate result of oul
present tariff system; and we demand
the repeal Of all tariff taxes that enable
them to extort from the people the ex
oroitant prices for the products they con
troll.
IOWA.
We renew our opposition to the uncon
stitutional and unjust policy of higl
tariff taxation. which robs the many II
enrich the few; makes the producer tn
! slave of the manufacturer; lays its heav
lest burdens on the farmer, the mechani
and the day laborer, whom it daily robs
gives no return through any channel an
fosters trusts, which are the legitimat
result of our present tariff system, an
we denounce the fallacy of the Reput
lican state platform Of Iowa, that hig
tariff is or can be any protection to tn
farmer.

Why Tax Straw Hats3

rashlOnaDle LADY Oathlng In the sea
at Long Branch or Newport has her
fashionable bathing suit capped by pc
culiar looking straw hat. The wide
caves Of this hat are tied underneath her
chin, causing its fore and aft aspects to
appear like two old scuttle bonnets
placed back to back. From Maine to
Florida fishermen affect q coarse straw
hat with wide, turned up brim. and
seem to take great comfort therein. Out
on the great western farms men of all
ages, in hot weather, seem addicted to
wearing straw hats with wide brine
turned down. The fashionable lady, the
fisherman and the farmer are all wear
ing precisely the same kind of hat.
Where do these hats come from7 They
are so marvelously cheap that they al
most seem like Topsy, Ito have growed."
The great majority Of them cost the re-
taller only thirty-five cents a dozen. It
seems impossible that any man or ma.
chine could do so much plating for SO
little money.
These straw hats are manufactured
abroad in the first instance. They come
from different countries. and have been
accordingly divided by the trade into
four classes. Italy gives US ''Leghorns;'
Spain sends US "Malagas;" South Ameri-
ca exports to US "Curacoas," and from
China we get "grass hats"
With the exception, perhaps, Of the
China variety, these l,ats are all what il
known as "by products" Even the
easily contented peasants Of sunny Italy
could hardly afford to make it the bust
ness of their lives to furnish this coun
try with straw hats at remuneration
| of, at most. fifteen cents a dozen. Blu,
children need not be very strong or very
big to wander about their homes during
the summer time and collect the wilc
straw in small bundles. Then when the
long nights arrive. all the members o.
the family sit and plait the straw int<
braids and then stitch the braids int<
shapeless hats.
These hats are quickly bought up by
exporters. They are then packed i1
bales, which are subjected to hydraulic
pressure in order to diminish their bulk
When they become nothing more mol
less than fiat disks Of straw by this treat
ment they are shipped to the United
! States.
There is nothing like these straw hats
made in this country: no grass or straw
20 suitable, no labor 50 little worth. Ye,
the keen eye of Uncle Sam makes them
out as special object from which the
inhabitants of his territory should. be
sternly protected by an ad valorem duty
| Of 80 per cent. In this way the bloated
surplus was increased in the year 1881
by 1lse.s44.
Once in this country, after the grasp
ing surplus has had its pound Of flesh
the hats get on well enough. There are
several large factories in Massachusetts
which shape them and bleach or dye
them. sometimes even ornament them
with ribbons. Then they are sold to the
jobber. after profit has been calculated
on net cost, plus 80 per cent. duty. The
jobber calculates his profit on tho same
basis. The 30 per cent. grows, like q
rolling SNOWFALL. until it finally causes
the consumer to pay about double what
he might If the senseless tariff On thesl

five woolen mills failed, with liabilities Of

the present year forty-six woolen mills
