Stanford.

Senator Stanford of Cali
fornia has, it is said, become a
convert of spiritualism. The
senator is rich enough to be-
lieve anything he likes. 1t
will be interesting, though, to
ascertain whether the spirits
are urging him to make the
race for president on the ALI
ance ticket. The best thing
that the senator can do. if he
has made up his mind to run,
is to take Reds German
Cough and Kidney Cure with
diligence. This great remedy
is the best thing for the voice
that was ever put on the mar
ket. 1t contains no poison, but
is composed of pure and sim
pie materials that act at once
and relieve the lungs of all
trouble. For bronchial diff
culties it is without a rival. 1t
contains no opium so that it
does not paralyze the digest
ton but is relaxing, stimulat-
ing soothing and healing. OF
all cough remedies it is the
only one of which this can be
said. Aged persons will find
this of the greatest assistance
for it enables the system to
throw off the maladies that
are SO fatal in old age. In
cases of pneumonia it acts
every time with a certainty
that is marvellous. 1t has re
peatedly brought health to
people whom the medical fac
ulty had pronounced to be be
yond all hope. When you ask
for this great remedy at your
drug store be particular and
see that the druggist gives you
Reds, and do not be put off
with something that he says is
just as good.

Scientific But er,

Science can do wonders.

it is better than the genuine

lately who had been carving
steak from street car horses
and selling them to cheap
boarding houses, and no one
of the bOarders had been able
to tell the difference. This
fact speaks volumes for the

The Speakership Fight.

Mr.. Springer has shown that
he is a good politician. In all
the contest over the speaker
ship he never once lost his
temper, and when he was fin
ally forced to yield he so man
aged as to bear away the
honors of the fray. This was
a great thing to do. In &C
comprising it he gratifed his
friends, and at the same time
he administered a severe re-
buke to those who refused to
stand by him to the end.
Springer is an interchangeable
worker and by his action in
this struggle he has shown the
country that he possesses bet
ter metal than he has yet been
credited with. He has agreat
future before him if he will
but take care of himself. To
this end let him see that he
preserves his health. Most
members of congress give way
to some form of pulmonary
trouble. If Mr.. Springer will
take Reds German Cough
and Kidney Cure he will es-
cape all danger from this
source. This great remedy is
the best thing in the world for
coughs, colds and every form
of disease that attacks the re-
spiratory organs. This makes
it invaluable for men who
have to talk inpublic. especial
ly in open air. The remedy
contains no opiate, so that ii
can be taken at any time with
out fear of subsequent danger
1t will cure all throat trouble
from simple hoarseness to the
worst form of bronchitis, You
can get it of any druggist, but
be sure to ask for Reds, and
take no other.

This work is not beyond the powers of
amateurs; 1t is. however, one requiring
considerable time and patience, and de
manding practice at the start. First of

rubbed with fine glass paper, and the dust

Suggestions for the Poultry Yard.

The season is here when in poultry
yards, where birds are kept in damp and
i'll ven ilated houses, the foundation for
roup-that most fatal of all poultry dis
eaSes-is laid. An ordinary cold neg
lected very soon develops into roup;
hence iirst symptoms must be- taken in
hand at once The first sign is sneezing
and running at the nose. As soon as this
is observed the affected bird ought to be
isolated at once, placed in warm spot
where there are no drafts and the usual
remedies and preventives administered.
Bear il mind that cold weather is less
danger )us than damp 1t is good plan
now to give iron tonic in water all
round. especially to the late chickens.
Diarrhca Is another disease caused by
cold aud wet weather; i'll chickens it is
often due to improper diet. Bone dust
is an excellent preventive, and growing
chickens should always have it. II

boiled lice, mixed with a little powdered
chalk. If the case is bad, try rice boiled

Reformation in the Poultry House
Which 1t viii Pay Farmers to Adopt.
Some day look into half dozen poul-
try houses when you are driving out and
see how few, even of the improved ones,
are kept clean, This one piece of work
is the great bugbear in the business.
Why? First, it is dirty job, becoming
still more disagreeable by neglect; second,
it takes so much time that it is put off
1t is easy and not unpleasant to keep the
roosts clean, if il be done every morning
and in the right way, affirms CORE
spondent in the Philadelphia Farm
Journal, who writes about the matter in
this way:

chicken roosts took more of my time
than all other poultry affairs, so 1 just
set about correcting them. give you a
drawing of the reformation. l first built
smooth droppings board and then
nailed a trough just under its outer

VALUE OF LrNseeo OIL MEAL.
Things That Are Told in Bulletin Issued
from the Ohio Station.

Things That Are Told in a Bulletin Issued
from the Ohio Station.
Chemical analysis shows that old pro-
cess inseed oil meal contains an aver
age Of about per cent. of nitrogen, 2
per cent. of phosphoric acid and II per
cent. of potash. Nitrogen may be pur-
chased in nitrate of soda at about fifteen
cents per pound, phosphoric acid in raw
bone meal at about five cents, and pot
ash il muriate of potash at four and one
half cents, these being among the cheap
est sources of ferhlzing substances.
Valued at these prices, says the Ohio sta
ton bulletin, a ton of old process linseed
oil meal would be worth about eighteen
dollars. That Is to say, the farmer could
as we afford to pay eighteen dollars per
ton for old process linseed oil meal to be
applied directly to the soil as fertilizer,
as to pay the current prices for the or
dinary fertilizers of commerce.
New process oil meal contains about
per cent. more nitrogen than old process,
which raises its comparative fertihzing
value 70 twenty-one dollars per ton, or
the p ice at which coarse new process
meal is now offered in carload lots in the
Ohio market. As it has been demon
strated that not more than one-third of
the fertihzing value of a feeding stuff is
lost il feeding, provided the manure is
carefully saved and used, the bulletin
referred to calls the attention of Ohio
farmers to the fact that in this way lin
seed OIL meal offers far cheaper source
of fertility than any of the so called
commercial fertilizers or phosphates.

One of our fashionable clergyman re-

the other evening. He was informed
that he was wanted in his study, where

As the man sat dumb the girl ventured
timidly:
''He means, sir, that we want to get
spliced."

said the now bewildered minister; twill

The man scratched his head.
"We thought, Jemimy an me, we'd
get tied"
Still the minister did not comprehend
and Jemima took her turn.
We've come to be jined."
''Ah, understand-excuse me-" said
the minister, on whom the light of
knowledge had just dawned, ''you wish

GREAT SUCCESS!
The Scott Medical Institute

which has just closed its work
of free treatment has
been a success, so far as can be
proved by the numbers of
afflicted people who have
thronged the Institute daily,
many of whom found relief
after the first treatment. This
is a medical institute coming
to our city we'll recommended,
the physicians having received
their diplomas from the best
medical colleges in the United
States as well as in foreign
countries, and it has come to
stay as can be proved by the
contracts they have made
which are without exception by
the year. The physicians have
decided to place the price of
treatment within the reach of
the poor as we'll as the rich.
They treat all diseases with
marked success with their

presses his views on the presidential
campaign: "Prominent members of
the farmers alliance are urging the
nomination of Judge Walter Q.
Gresham, by the republican national

would make good candidate and
be winner. But if James G.

This is the way Major Mckinley,
the man who is responsible for the
great tariff bill, in speech the other
day, spoke of the parties and Of the
large expenditures of money made by
the late congress:
He said the great parties ofto-day
could trace their heredity to the
great parties dominant at the very
foundation of this government. The
national idea and tile states rights
idea began to divide men as early as
1857. He said the republican party
grew out of the whig party, which
was an immediate defendant from
the federalist party. 1t was the par
ty Of Clay, Webster, Hamilton,
Wade, Lincoln and Garfield, and the
democratic was the party of Calhoun
and 1ilden. One great glory of the
republican party was that it could
look into the past without blushing,
and it could look into the future
without fear. The speaker then
sketched the history of the demo-
cratic party in the Kansas and Ne
braska legislation, and the PROPOSE
ton Of the United States to consider
the bill to buy Cuba to extend
slavery, for which it voted down a
! proposition to consider the home
stead law. To the charge that the
Fifty-frst congress was expensive,
he said: eyes, it used great deal
of money, but it paid its debts and a
large average of indebtedness left
over by the fiftieth congress, but il
kept all its pledges save one-the
election bill and it was no fault ol
the congress that it did not pass the
bill. We kept faith with the creditor
that bought our bonds in our time
of sore need, and now we mean te
keep faith with that other creditor
whose services are above price-the
soldiers who offered their lives in
defense of the country. We stamped
the life out of repudiation."

If you hear of a farmer saying
that sheep raising does not pay, just
pick up club and hit him over the
head-if he is not bigger than you
are. AS an illustration that sheep
ars profitable we will cite our
citizen, John o. Ole. Last fall Mr..
Ole purchased $50 ewes. These
ewes lambed all through the winter
at different periods and to-day from
those $50 ewes he has 153 fine
lambs, all doing we'll. Mr.. Ole
tells us that less than eighty bushels
of oats we're fed through the entire
winter. 100 per cent. is certainly
paying investment, and with the
establishment of wool markets at
different points in North Dakota, we
predict that in few years our state
will be one Of the foremost in sheep
and wool raising. Ever farmer
should have little flock of sheep.
