Tho conxer Bill and. tho Paddock Bill.

Tho Connecticut State Grange has passed
. resolution approving the CoNaER Lard
bill and the PADDOCK Pure Food bill. The
Connecticut Changers ought to know that
tho CoNaER bill and the PADDOCK bill have
very different objects. The latter measure
b aimed against the adulteration Of all
food products. The farmer seeks to tax and
resutct the sale OF compound lard for the
purpose Of wiping out the cottonseed and
cottonseed oil industry and enriching few
pork packers. Whether 1t is desirable that
there should be any Federal Legislation to
prevent the adulteration and misbranding
OF food and drugs is question In regard to
which mems opinions will be determined by
their theories Of the proper province OF the
central power under the Constitution, and
beyond that by considerations of the ex-
pediency OF Federal interference; but II
there is to be any such legislation. let It be
fair. honest. and general in its application.
Tho CoNaKR bill Is distinctly dishonest in
purpose and unfair In application. It Is a
sneaking attempt to use the taxing power
for tho sake OF crushing ono industry to
help another. It Ia not bill to raise revenue
or to prevent adulteration; 1t is q bill to pre-
vent oottonseed oil.
Tho Connecticut State Grange ought to
hsvo copy Of the memorial OF the Farmers
Mutual Benefit Association OF Illinois, which
was presented In the Senate last week by
Mr.. CULLoA. The Illinois farmers oppose
the OoNaRR bill and favor the PADDOCK bill
because the former "singles out only one
article which 1t alleges is adulterated, and
provides no remedy for the ass other articles
- set forth and provided for in the PADDOCK
bM." Senator PADDOCK believes. perhaps q
nttae too rashly. that 255 out OF S76 articles
Of food In daily use are adulterated, and his
bill provides, under heavy penalties. that all
food products shall be healthful. plainly and
honestly branded, OF proper quality and
strength, not doctored or counterfeited,
made from proper substances, and absolutely
free from sdultoration. This Is trying to do
moro than is feasible, and. In our opinion, it
is trying to do what tho States can do for
themselves II they wish but at least the in
tention Is honest and the application
impartial.
Tho memorial OF tho Illinois farmers
urges as another valid objection to the
CoNGER bill The fact that lit increases the
number of revenue officials" aud tho me
morialists truly assert that 1t "was intro
duced at the request OF Bost tn porl,
packer. aud Is supported by all the pork
packers Of tho country, and by tho Big Four
OF Chicago. It will create monopoly, and
win enable the large packers to form lard
trust" The memorial points out that the
OoNoER bill is opposed by the Farmers Al
llancss of Alabama. Arkansas Florida,
Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina.

Texas. and that 10000 Western farmers

Holes in the Air.

H. Hennequin, of Paris, Franco who
has had some experience in aerial navi
cation, arrived in this city yesterday,
from San Francisco on his way home.
Mr.. Hennequin was in Fontenay at the
time Tissindier and Cover had their
startling adventure in balloon. The
traveller is an intimate friend of Cover,
and tells the story of their fall of mile
as the balloonist related it to him:
s'They assembled from Tissindier's
house in Paris and floated off toward
Vincennes, and, as the wind was some
what strong from the northeast, the two
men soon disappeared from the view Of
Paris, having risen to height Of 1000
feet. When they had reached Fontenay,
however, they were fully 5000 feet
above the earth. They were sailing
along smoothly, watching the scenes be-
low, when suddenly they seemed to fall
into hole in the atmosphere, and down
they went at terrific rate. Cover
glanced at the needle of the vertical
scale. It was travelling with lightning
speed. A roar filled their ears, and both
men thought their time had come.

1t was in perfect condition, but there
seemed to be no air to hold it up. lis
sindier desperately threw out sandbags.
They were sinking SO rapidly that the
bags were left far behind and disap-
peared above them. The earth seemed
to be rushing at them with the speed of
a comet. There seemed to be no atmo-
sphere left, and they could scarcely
breathe. As last resort Tissindier
threw over the anchor and the remaining
ballast, and the big balloon, after rush
of mile through the air regained its
poisc, and they were saved. The earth
was but fifty feet below
"This goes to show continued Mr..
Hennequin, s'that too much precaution
cannot be observed in carrying plenty OF
ballast. There are in the air occasional
and when a balloon once
gets into one Of them it drops like q
piece Of lead. Cover and Tissindier
sailed into veritable pit ID the air, and
had they not had lots Of ballast aboard
they would have been dashed to pieces. .

THE DAIRY.
A Dairy Well.

For ordinary use, the well should
be dug six feet by four square, with a
gutter or groove down one side eight
cen inches square. 1t should contain
two or three feet Of lasting water. 1t
should be in easy reach of the kitch-
en-, and attached to the house if pos
sible. The curling should be no
larger than the we'll. A platform,
which fits inside of the well, slides
up and down between two timbers,
which rest on the bottom of the we'll,
and are long enough to reach up three
feet above the curb. These two tim
bers should be planed.
The framework of the platform has
board nailed on each side Of it,
forming a groove which fits on the
upright timbers at each end of the
well. This makes it rigid and keeps
it level. The circular black spots on
the platform represent openings for
vessels. The piece that holds the
wheel, over which the rope passes to
the windlass, is prolonged so that
when the platform is just even with
the top of the curve, an iron pin is
inserted through it and the top bar
of the platform frame, and holds it
there. There is another rope and two
wheels. The rope has a heavy
