in public and private life both at Wash

are concerned, il is no mans individual
victory. The success of the measure is
due 10 the united and the individual

The Effects of Meu,al Extans,,on.

AN UNFAIR CONCLUSION.


Statements Made Regarding the
Swedes which are not Warranted
by the Facts.
When Mr.. Andrew Anderson, OF
Moline, employed some one to write a
letter for him to the Union, the under
standing should have been that the truth
must be fairly stated and no misstate-
ments or coloring of facts permitted
The complaint made, which is signed By
Mr.. Anderson is to the effect that because
the late Mr.. ?. l.. Cable donated money
to the Swedish college, that, therefore,
Mr.. Ben 4. Cable would consider the
Swedes ungrateful should they not sup
port him for congress. There is no foun-
dation for this conclusion. Mr.. Cable is
not endeavoring to cOersce any man OF
class of men tn vote for him by any
means which are not in accordance with
the strictest propriety. He is not en-
deavoriDg TO change the politics of any
nationality. He expects the Swedish
population will be manly enough and
sensible enough to vote for their best in
terests. Those of them who vote Tor
him to them he will be grateful; those
who do not will still have his respect. The
Swedes. as all others, will be left to their
own good judgment.
But is Mr.. Anderson the spokesman
for the Swedish people of Moline7 Have
they entrusted their political interests to
his care and keeping? 1t does not seem
that Mr.. Anderson is the idol of that na>
tionality A year ago he ran for super>
visor on citizens ticket, in Moline and
was defeated. This spring he ran for al.
herman on the republican ticket, iu re-
publican ward. and was beaten again. By
this it would seem that he was not the
standard bearer of the Swedish repuhli-
cans, and, consequently, not in position
to speak for them as body. The opin-
ion is that the Swedes will do their own
thinking.

Salt for Pear and Ounce Trees.

Salt is not in itself manure, but its
action in releasing plant food locked
in insoluble forms makes it often a
profitable application for some kinds of
fruit trees, says the American Cultiva-
tor. We heard day or two ago of an
experiment that a farmer made with a
neglected pear tree which for years had
grown nothing Of value. Thinking he
would kill the tree he told his hired
man during the winter or early spring
to empty around it barrel OF spoiled
beef brine. It was so done; but instead
of diving the tree took on new lease
OF life, and its rich. green foliage was .
surprise to all who saw it A year later
this tree was heavily loaded with the
largest and finest pears ever seen Of its
variety. The tree has kept on bearing
since that application, though we hope
not without further supply Of manure.
We have always made practice OF ap-
piying salt freely around ounce trees,
though not to the exclusion OF other
manures. Ounces need much higher
feeding than they get Heavy manuring
will not make them run to leaf and
wood instead of fruit Caution should
be used in applying salt not to put it
ON too strong. 1t is not safe applica-
ton for stone fruits. like cherry, peach
and plum. The foliage Of these trees
Is :easily killed. and with an overdose
of salt at the r0otc the leaves will fall
on and the tree will quickly die.

The habit young colts often have Of
pulling at the halter or tearing loose"
is very annoying. Mature animals sell

practice is persisted in by the most
docile "old family horse,' in spite Of all

consists of small rope (3s-inch is heavy

through the strap-ring of the halter.
thence up through the joint-ring at the
side of the head, back along the neck,
under surcingle along the back, thence
around under the tail and back again.
In returning the rope it should pass
under the surcingle again. thence up
along the neck and through the joint

The rope should be OF sufficient
length to transcribe the circuit de-
scribed. and enough longer to form a

ECONOMY OF SHEEP.

Their Value In Keeping Up tho Fertility
of the Farm.
We all know how exhausting grain
6 owing is to the soil. The old East
or at least many parts Of it, have suf-
of the soil, and We have experienced the
same trouble in the fertile West. What
used to be called the far West has been
brought face to face with the necessity
Of fertilizing what was once q soil
whose fertility, we thought was prac-
tically inexhaustible. The wheat belt
has been steadily going westward. as it
has been found improbable to grow
wheat in the more eastern States. With
the usually large yields Of wheat on the
virgin soil of the West the yield upon
the soil of the older sections is so small
that the average of wheat yield through
out the country is only about ten BUSH
els per acre.
The soil has been rotted by grain
growing. Cattle-breeding and feeding
are lighter upon the soil, but still cat
tie take good deal from the land.
Sheep take nothing from it. They re-
turn more than they take. Now if it is
true-and we think it is-that pound
of mutton can be made cheaper than a
pound of beef, and if it is true that
upon the whole sheep are less trouble
than cattle-and they are-and if it is
true that sheep, instead of robbing the
land of fertility add to its fertility, the
odds in favor Of sheep are very great,
great enough, at least, to lead every
farmer properly situated to adopt sheep
husbandry as part of his farming op-
eratiOns-Western Rural.

Tom was frightened, but they were
such kind faces he looked into that he
was not afraid to tell his story-and
very simply and directly he told it.
The young lady who had discovered
the boys had business-like air, and a
brisk way Of saying things that spoke
volumes for her executive ability.
''Now here is mission work." she
cried. ''What are we going to do for
these boys? Homes must be found for
them. Suppose we adopt them as pro-

care for them? How many of you will

A slender, sweet-faced woman, dressed
in mourning-the only one who had

voice was broken, but she tried to con-
troll it.
''Perhaps you will think me Wild"
she said, ''but don't you see where these
boys are? They are in my pew, where
my boys used to sit l am alone in the
world; they are alone. Why should they
not be my boys? 1 come here with
empty arms, longing for the sound of
boyish voices forever hushed, and here.
just where they used to sit in the church

where 1 was married, where my chill
dren were baptized find these mother
less, homeless boys. And on Easter
Sunday, too. 1t seems like resurreo-
ton of hopes 1 had thought forever
dead. Why should 1 not take these boys.
care for them, educate them, make them
my boys? Does it not seem that God
has sent them to me?"
There was silence for moment Then
the brisk young lady said, with little
laugh, to hide some real emotion: "At
least, Mrs. Sanborn, it will be a saving
for the missionary society,""
Mrs. Sanborn passed into the pew and
bent over sleeping Dave, and as she did
so the child opened his eyes, a glad light
crept into them and he stretched out his
arms.
Mother he cried, 81 asked Jesus to
