What Good Woman Has Done

1t would be difficult to exaggerate
the reformation wrought in thegeneral
tone OF English society by Queen
Victoria in the fifty years of her reign
The fierce light that beats about a
throne has never been able to reveal
a flaw in the purity of her personal
character. All her life she has striven
TO promote public and private
morality and decency, and the official
example of the court which has been
openly at least, in the interest Of
cleanliess and decorum, has set a h;oh
standard for society in general. and
has not been without it's effect even
upon the lower and more ignor ant
orders. Coarseness and profligacy are
no longer regarded with admiration
and the clergy may again eniov The
respect due to religion and the nro.
tossed union of church and state

SOiling Cattle.

1t takes about two acres of good
pasture to keep COW through the
season. In other words 2O-acre lot
will furnish pasture for 10 cows.
Where land is cheap and abundant it
is not a very expensive method to
keep cattle, as it involves little labor
Most farmers think it is best to have
two ten-acre lots instead one of 20, so
as to afford a change. Experience
teaches that every time the cattle are
changed from one lot to the other they
will not feed quietly until they have
spent a day in exploration and in the
investigation of the fence question.
Cattle do best when in quiet; they fill
themselves and then lie down to rumi-
nate. 1t will take full week and
good fences to settle down to this
method after change of pasture is
made.
Certainly double the stock or more
can be kept on the same number of
acres when the feed is out and fed to
the stock in small lot or at the end
of a tether. OF course, this involves
labor and judgment. But it pays
where land is worth 500 OF more per
acre. Grass cannot be cut and left in
heaps while the dew is on or after rain
has fallen. It should, under such con-
ditions, be spread out and dried off.
1t is not meant to be made into hay,
but simply to get rid of surface water
and perhaps of part by evaporation,
as newly or fresh cut grass is full OF
sap or water-a superabundance OF
which is of no value or use to the
stock.
Every farmer has noticed that cattle
will not eat close to their droppings
even for months afterwards; hence we
see many tufts of high, good grass all
over the pasture; when cut and par

these deposits ought to be spread and
distributed in pasture or meadow fire.

less, can have the benefit of the fer.

Poultry Points.

Some ventilation is necessary, but in
giving it good care must be taken to avoid
direct draughts.
If the turkeys are given to rambling
much it will be best to mark them, so that
you can identify them.
A good way to give oil of any kind is to
pour it on the drinking water; floating on
top it will be first taken.
If well fed from the start ducks ought to
be ready for market at ten weeks old, and
at that age should average five pounds.
In cleaning out the hay NOW give the
trash to the poultry to pick over; there is
always more or less seed they will eat.
Bundle foot is nearly always caused by
having the roosts too high. The best
remedy is to lower the roosts and use
vaseline.
Incubator chickens are far less liable to
be infested with lice than those Matched
under hen if proper care is taken to keep
them clean at the start.
A yard is best for turkeys. While they
should not be allowed free range, at the
same time they will not bear close confne-
ment as well as other fowls.
Another advantage with the incubator
is that large lot of fowls are Matched at
once. 1t is very little more trouble to look
after 100 than to look after 25.

Hints to HOusekeepers.

Gold rope is much used for picture
frames. 1t should not be more than an
inch in diameter, except for large pictures
Hemp and manila are also used; but hemp
is better, for it is smooth.
A good plan for keeping butter cool and
sweet in summer is to fill box with sand
to within an inch or two of the top; sink
the butter jars in the sand then thorough
ly wet the sand with cold water Cover
the box alright. The box may be kept
in the kitchen.
For tender feet, take two quarts of cold
water and add one tablespoonful of bay
rum and two tablespoonful of ammonia
The feet should be soaked in this for ten
minutes, throwing the water upward to the
knees. Rub dry with crash towel, and
the tired feeling will be gone.
A useful cement for mending earthen or
stone jars, stopping leaks in the seams Of
tin pans or iron kettles, or Tightening loose
joints of iron or wood, is made by mixing
litharge and glycerine to thick cream.
This will resist acids heat and cold if the
article is not used until the cement has
hardened.
Rattan and willow chairs should be
cleaned, like straw mating, with salt and
water. First thoroughly remove the dust.
Then wiring a clean cloth out of salt water,
rubbing chair CT mating dry with the other
hand as you go on, or, at any rate, as
quickly as you can, so that it may retain
none Of the moisture.
Macaroni should be used much more than
it is. It is very good substitute for po-
tatoes when that vegetable is scarce and
high, as it is this year. Many physicians
object seriously to the use of old potatoes
after they have begun to sprout, and on
their own tables use macaroni instead.
The simple ways of preparing this dish
everybody knows.
The eyes should always be wiped toward
the nose, as it presses out the fine lines
from the corners. Every woman has
heard of the virtues of rainwater for the
complexion. Keep pitcher Of water for
toilet use in which lemon, orange or Gu
cumber peel is allowed to soak. Water 50
impregnated, it is said, imparts healthy
glow and really freshens the complexion,
while it softens the skin.

Suspicious Zeal.

The New York Sun is just now run
ming over with Alliance information.
1t seems ready to furnish Alliance
news, purposes of the order, and, also
give free of charge horoscope of it's
future. It has already marked out
that course and will do all in it's
power to bring it about If the Sun
is so exercised over what the Alliance
has already done, it had better get to
lunatic asylum before the real work
of the order begins to show itself.
The tempest is yet to come Citizens
Alliance.
Southern Mercury: All people will
learn to know that the members COM
posing the Farmers Alliance are in
earnest. They will defend the de-
mands of the Supreme Council; they
will not retreat an inch; they will not
equivocate and that they will be heard;
they will wrench the power to tyranize
out of the hands of despots; they will
return this government to the people.
Stand from under, traitors, sycophants
and political bosses.

The Polk County Farmer: If

The Polk County Farmer: If you
are an Allianceman you believe in
Alliance principles. If you believe in
Alliance principles you are opposed to
the money power. If you are opposed
to the money power, you are an enemy
to the parties that protect this money
power. The power that controls the
national banking system, the power
that prevents legislation in the inter-
est of the farmer and laborer, this
power is the money power. It is the
man or the dollar. Take your choice.

Ready for the Fray.

The next twelve months will be
critical period with the Alliance for
before that time has passed we will
have precipitated upon us bitter con-
flict. Our organization must have a
clear head and a strong nerve, to direct
and guide it. We don't want a man
who can be controlled by any influence,
save the success of the Alliance move
mept. Our enemies are even now at
work, and nothing would delight them
more than to see the state convention
elect president that would be tool
in their hands, National Economist.

The Gibbon Reporter: Gentlemen
go to work and make your farms pro-
ductive and profitable. If then you
need ready money your restored credit
will enable you to borrow as cheaply
as anybody. But let US hear no more

mans plea with the government.
The above extract is from the Phila-
delphia North American, of April IL.
This is a leading Republican paper and
fair exponent of the plutocracy who
are trying with might and main to
destroy this nation. The reasonable
demands of the suffering, toiling,
sweating millions of American citizens
is met with sheer, or with advice
given in lordly, dictatorial manner,
as of superiors to interiors. These
men little realize how near the deluge
is, and their ignorance and vanity is
in all human probability destined to
reap not only bloody recompense for
themselves. but harvest of woe for
the whols country.

Colonel k. !. Hinton and his as sistant, of the United States agricul- tural department. left yesterday morning for Los Angeles, He said to a reporter that Arizona was one of the very best regions in the United States for irrigation. He had gath cred considerable data while here and had travelled over a goodly DOT ton of Salt River valley. This land is especially good for raising tropi- cal fruits. fle said with the data he had gotten while here he would be able to successfully refute the state- ments made in bulletins of the United States census. In speaking of the ownership of government lands Colonel Hinton said he was in dividually opposed to the transfer of lands to private persons. ii the people come to Washington asking for lands il will stop all irrigation legislation. Congress will refuse to do anything. If the lands were given to Arizona she would not know what to do with it and the manipulators would get rich. He thought 1t was to the interest of the people for the government to own the land.--Re publican.

THE BEST GOVERNMENT.

Col. R. G. Ingersoll is no doubt an agnostic, but he is always disposed to look on the bright side of things in this world. no matter what the hereafter may bring. In the North American Review for June he has a brilliant article in answer to one by Col. Rush C. Hawkins. who wrote of the Brutality and Avarice Triumph ant" among the people ofthe United States. Col. Ingersoll says:
 There is in our country no real foundation for these wide and sweer ing islanders. This, in my judgment, is the best government. the best country in the world. Here in America is finer sense of what is due from man to man than you will find in other lands. We do not cringe to those whom chance has crowned; we stand erect. The high est test of civilization is the treat ment of women and children. By this standard our country stands first among nations. No American should ever write life that can be sneer- ingly quoted by an enemy of the great republic"

--e-----------=- NO MORE TEIEGRAPH.

The JouRSAL-MINER had arranged, as it's readers will have noticed yes terday and to-day, to take a tele. graph report. On receipt of the re- port to-day it was informed by Oper- ator Hetherington that while he was sorry for the fact the report would have to be charged for over his line at full commercial rates. The ser vice for the two days report amount ed to Sl0.S2, of which the local line charged S5.54 for transmission seventy-two miles, the cost over the Western Union lines. about 700 miles, for the same service being $i.7S.
 Of course it is not necessary for the JouRNAL-MINER to state. in this connection, that this action of the railroad company is in line with the small souled policy in force in the management of the road, and that is to crush out everything and every body that does not bend the knee to Bullock & Co. If the JouRxAL-MrNER man would sell his body and soul to Bullock X Co.,, in exchange for a free pass, and would work against the in- terests of this section and its people it might be able to obtain frank for its telegraph report, as has been accorded its contemporary for two or three years.
 or course the result of this high tariff will be to prevent the paper from taking it's telegraph report but will not prevent or deter the paper from standing by the people, and it will not be many moons before MT. Bullock's telegraph line will be con fronted with n competing line the same as h. railroad.

Another solution.

The origin of the beautiful names given to many of the states of the union is no doubt known to a ma jority of the Eight O'Clockers. Ala bama. for example, signifies, in the language of the Indians, Here We rest;" Minneapolis, Sky tinted waters etc.
 l doubt, however, if they were asked to explain the origin of Ari- zona and Oregon. whether they would give the correct answer with out consultation with some of the honorary members of the club-the uncles, aunts or big brothers or sis ters, and perhaps many of the latter would be puzzled.
 That part of the territory of the United States now known as Arizona was inhabited by a tribe of Indians to whom nature had been lavish in the matter of nose, the Indians themselves accentuated the promin- ent nasal appendage by piercing the cartilage or gristle between the nos trils and wearing in it bone, a stick or a ring. To the Spanish-speaking people of Mexico they were known as the Big Noses"
 In the Spanish language nose is naraz. In that language you can also express diminutive or an aug mentative by a termination of the name-word. Narizito would mean little nose," and narizon a '.great big nose." The feminine of narizon would be narizona, SO that the n having been eliminated by usage and time, we have the name as it stands to-day-Arizona.
 In the same manner the state of Oregon receives its name from it's original tribe of Indians, who were famous for their big ears. They pierced their ears and enlarged the lobe with pieces of wood. In the spanish language ear is orejo. The addition of the augmentative on makes 1t orejon, or 'big ears" Time and usage have changed the i te, r. and thus we have Oregon.
 My little nephew. who is a ire quent contributor to your puzzle column, was so much interested in the explanation of the names of Ari- zona and Oregon, that I thought I would give it to the club-with the permission of your worthy editor Philadelphia Times.

W. J. Chamberlain X Co.'S Den yer circular does not give a very roseate hue to the financial outlook. It says: The long expected boom stil hangs fire. and all the general sta tistics show that the business of the country still rests somewhat under a cloud. The clearings from fifty cities for all May show decrease of i5 per cent. from that of May, 1890. and the business failures of last week were II per cent. more than the same week in 1890. The staple markets are dull all around, and the outlook that the trasury may con tinue the per cent. bonds at II per cent. interest makes tight money this fall and easy possibility, espe- cially in the face of the fact that S,0OO0O in gold was shipped to Eu
 rope last week. The Bank of Eng land gained f2000000 in bullion and reduced its discount to 1 per cent, but it is expected that the Russian government will take f3,-
