fractional Jealousy Cropping Out In the
Republican Ranks
There is no lack of the element of
dissension in the republican ranks this
season, look where one will Here in
Mass aehusetts trouble has long been
brewing; New York's forces are at log
gerheads, and faction finds abundant
scope in the Partys membership
throughout the west
But the clouds of far bigger storm
than these local disturbances are loom
ing up on the political horizon Al
ready the western reserve is darkened,
and the whole repu blican sky is likely
soon to be overspread-
Thus early in the Ohio campaign
long-repressed jealousies of party fac
ton are beginning to flash out The
growth of the Blaine sentiment has
angered Maj. McKinley's supporters
into open revolt against the candidacy
of the man from Maine.
While the recluse at Bar Harbor was
accounted out of the field the Ohio
campaigners allowed him the title of
Reciprocity Bill without any spoken
protest But now that the Blaine
boom is Enthusiastically under way,
they holly aver that Mckinley and
share of the reciprocity hurrahing as
the much-vaunted secretary of state
himself
Judge William Lawrence, stanchest
of McKinleyites. thus vigorously ex-
presses his opinion regarding Blaine
adulation in a letter published by
his permission in the Wauseon Repub-
ican:
I I'VE want man as candidate for the
presidency who opposed the Mckinley act. who
wants reciprocity TO extend to free wool who
opposed legislation to protect the colored peo-
pie Of the south. who apologized for trusts and
IS hostile to western interests
This thrust at the Plumed Knight is
all the sharper because no names are
named. Everybody knows who Is
meant perfectly we'll
1t is a warning sent out to Bar
Harbor that Mai. McKinley's friends
do not propose to concede for a single
moment that all the magnetism and
wisdom of the party are conferred in
the brain of the man who was de-
feated for the presidency seven years
ago.-BoSton Globe

Harrison's Indifference to the Credit of
His Administration
If the fact be, as alleged that the res
ignation of Pension Commissioner Raum
was placed in President Harrison's
hands two months ago. then the latter
official has lost an opportunity to per-
form an act that would have redounded
to the credit of his administration. The
chronic absenteeism and the scandals
that have marked Gen Raum's incuIn-
bency of the pension comnissionership
have furnished abundant reasons for
the prompt acceptance of the resigna-
ton whenever, in the course of the last
year, it may have been rendered, and
there has been annie justification dur
ing that length of time for asking for
T.
Secretary Noble begs the question
when he says that under Gen Raum
the business transacted by the bureau
compares favorably with that done un-
der previous incumb ents- He knows
that one complaint is that pension
agents VINO have invested in business
ventures with the commissioner have
been favored at the bureau to the preju-
dice of claimants who were not clients
OF such agents He knows that a SON
of the commissioner made practice of
selling the favor of the bureau for
small loans and of neglecting his du-
ties for horse races and ball matches,
and that he was retaifed in his position
after his practices had been exposed.

An EXCELLENT PLAN.

Of Live Stock.
One of the benefits derived from
keeping q variety of stock is that farm
products can be used to better advan-
tage. In growing the necessary grain
more or less straw and fodder will be
secured, which, if properly managed,
will make a cheap food. and where q
system of rotation is carried on more
or less grass for both pasture and hay
will be grown.
With good shelter young cattle,
horses or mules can be kept in q good
condition during the winter with very
little grain if they can have plenty OF
fodder, and during the summer grass
in the pasture can be made nearly or
quite their whole feed. While hogs
will make fair growth with good pas
turage it is generally profitable to feed
them some grain even during the sum-
mer. Cattle can be pastured during
the summer and fed largely upon fod-
der during the winter until they are
three years old, and if comfortably
sheltered will need but little grain
With good pasturage they will be in a
fair marketable condition in the fall
when they are three years old.

| less grain is needed by the work teams
| and milk cows. In raising grain for
:; them more hay and fodder than will be
needed will be secured, and by pur-
chasing mill feed to go with them all
can be used to a good advantage. This
plan admits of having a considerable
| acreage seeded down to grass fol-
!! pastures and meadows and lessons the
labor considerably. By feeding all OF
the products out on the farm, with the
exception of the wheat, and buying
more or less mill feed to use in connec-
ton with the grain and fodder will
| make a great saving, and applying all
of the manure possible the fertility OF
the soil can be kept up.
OF course everything that can be
| used for feed should be saved and
| every advantage be taken to secure all
| of the food possible. and then feed out
to the best advantage in order to realize
| the largest profit--Prairie Farmer.

hand is raised against him. That was
my principal reason for living that kind
of a life for awhile. Well, it was get
ting awfully irksome to me, and was
really spending a great deal of time at
night worrying, when ought to have
been sleeping, when the end came I'M
expectedly and pleasantly. The mana
ger of the Western Union Telegraph
Company accosted me one afternoon, and
asked me why didn't go back to work.
My response was that didn't have to,
and was not seeking employment. He
then asked me, as a favor to himself,
to take position in the Office, at least
temporarily. because one of his experts
had been taken suddenly i'll, and he
could not readily fill his place. He had
been paying the man S25 per week, and
asked me if that would be satisfactory
to me. told him that such a 0alary
was fit only for people who were obliged
to slave their lives away for great cor
porations; but, as favor to himself. if
he would make the salary $50 per week,
would take the place until he could
get an expert from New York or Chica-
go. He was glad enough to get my
services, under the circumstances, and
appreciated the favor WHICH i was 90

The Horse.

The Arabian horse is model of beau.
ty, and the Arab treats his horse as on e
of the family; it lives In the same tent
with him, eats from his hand, anG
sleeps among his children, who tumble
about on it without the least fear. Few
Arabs can be induced to part with 8
favorite horse. The big and powerful
dray horse is the Flanders breed.
Wales and the Shetland isles produce a
breed forming a great contrast to the
Flanders horse. The Shetlie, as it is
called, is very small, its height being
sometimes, only thirty-four inches, but
it is very strong and sure-footed, carry
ing its rider with perfect safety along
the most terrific precipices, and almos,
invariably choosing to walk on thu

THE hIDEBOUND HORSE.

How an Animal Afflicted with the ALI
ment Can He Cured.
This disease occurs often with the
horse and sometimes with the dog.
The animal as rule is always hungry
and thin, the skin sticking to the ribs,
fitted to the bones almost as tight as a
drum. The disease is caused generally
by poor feed, or by the animal being a
greedy feeder and not digesting it's
food. A farmer who feeds poor, smut
ty food, and not very often, will get
his horse into the habit of plunging
his head into the manager and gulping
food as if he were going to catch a
train In little while the horse be-
gins to look thin and does not act as
lively as usual and the owner doses
him with condition powders, but with
out avail, and it is not long before his
horse is run down. First, says a
writer in New York Tribune, give the
animal dose of some good purgative,
and at the same time give him rest.
Then 1 would give about every three
DAYS in his evening feed a teaspoonful
of powder composed as follows: Gen

her and eats with ease and digests
every bit of it, so that everything that
passes her lips is of benefit to the sys-
tenn.

Cold Greanl,ou.ns.

A German horticultural journal says
that one of the latest inventions in
medicine is the use of cold greenhouses
in tropical countries as means of COM
batting yellow fever. This disease, it
states, can be conquered if one removes
to those elevated regions in which oaks
will grow. This fact, says Garden and
Forest, recently inspired q celebrated
Cuban physician with the idea of reduc-
ing the temperature of sick rooms by
artificial means, and wonderful cures
resulted. Now it is proposed that, in
districts liable to the epidemic, each
town shall crest q great glass house in
which plants of cold and temperate
regions may be grown, the temperature
being artiflcially cooled instead OF heat
ed, rs in our greenhouses, and that they
shall be devoted to the treatment Of
patients suffering from the fever.

How Names Grow.

ford that several generations ago ship
YVES wrecked near there and only one
boy saved. AS they did not know his
name, they called him Johnny Crapaud,
and the descendant of this boy was con-
gresham from Massachusetts,, Hon.
Mr.. Grape. To these may be added,
says American Notes and Queries. the
case of Judge Poland, of Vermont, of
whom the story is told that his family
were Poles and bore an unpronounce-
able surname; they were called tho
''Polcs" and the "Polandcrs," SO that
the name gradually crystallized into
''Poland." There is also the name com
mon in tho south, "Dabncy," which is
supposed by the aristocratic owners to
DC corruption of the French "D'Au-
bigne,'' and probably first imported by
some noblo uugucnot exile.
