mcnded in the poultry journals as a
remedy for lice. AS many readers do
not know just what Kerosene ointment
is. we give the following abstrac, from
report OF the Michigan state board
of agriculturc:
Kerosene ointment may be made by
simply mixing Kerosene and lard. or.
better, Kerosene and sulphur. This
ointment is excellent TO rid poultry of
lice. 1t should be KEEP, in closed can
in poultry house. and in the summer
the roost poles should often be rubbed
with the ointment. An old rubber or
leather glove makes this an easy and
not unpleasant task. After the poul-
try are on the roosts some OF this ONT

SENATOR PETER.

Senator Peffor has taken his seat on
the Republican side of the senate and
will doubtless vote with that party in
the future. One Of his first public acts
was to present pension bill, but it is
of so nondescript a character, with
numerous impracticable clauses and
fiat money attachments, that it will
probably get no farther than the waste
basket. We believe Mr.. PETER, as our
senator, is entitled to q fair showing
and judgment should be withheld UNI
Ill he has been tried and found wait
ing. His pension bill is not likely to
meet the approval Of anybody, and
any proposition tending to ruin our
credit or disturb the soundness of our
currency would never receive more
than q respectful hearing.
Mr.. PETER is occupying proud 20.
s'lion where he can, and We trust will,
be of great service to his country and
state. His past idiosyncracies should
be buried out of sight and he should
take his place with statesmen and act
in harmony with them on all questions
that come up. II lie is again attacked
with softening of the brain or buzz
ing sensation in the head he should
drink hot lemOnades, draw his salary
and withdraw from the active duties
of his position. But let us give the

Hon. B. w. Perkins received the ap-

THE FALL ELECTION.

The election OF 1892 will be the most
important to the people Of Kansas ever
held In the state. 1t will not only be a
presidential, gubernatorial aud con.
gressional year, but an election of rep
resentatives to the state for u United
States senator. A number Of import
ant county offices are TO be filled and
q vote will be taken on the question of
new constitution. The presidential
election Overshadows all minor issues,
but the people Of Kansas are not'likely
to lose sight Of the fact that they are
deeply interested in all the issues COM
ing up next fall for their decision. A
new constitution is Of more financial
Importance to the people OF Kansas
than all other Issues and 1t is also
quite important. that we should be
ably and honorably represented in the
senate and congress of the United
States.
Candidates for all offices will be
numerous and the campaign funds
will not be lacking. There will also
he the usual amount of patriotism,
gush and enthusiasm, but there should
be something more than all these /;
there should be a close and careful
consideration of the questions to be
voted on, of the candidates for various
offices, aud the platforms on which
they stand. Kansas has often been
badly represented or misreprescnted,
both at home anil abroad, and the pol
ilics of the state are IN need Of regen-
Grafton. A more intelligent class of
men should be seut to the state legis-
lature aud they should be selected by
the people instead of allowing the can
didates 10 select the Offices.
Our congressman and senator's
should be men of affairs and attain
ments-mcn who would reflect honor
on their state-not clowns, ignoram-
uses aud windy blatherskites, who can
effect nothing for the good Of the state
and only bring discredit on themselves
aud the people of Kansas. The CAM
paign of 1892 has already begun.
Pipes are being laid, wires are being
pulled and bargains made whereby
the people are TO become victims. The
ten commandments are laid aside and
the cliques and rings formed by the
old tricksters are showing their out
lines ON the political sky Of Kansas
only too plainly. But the people of
Kansas are growingin intelligence and
political ideas. They have had enough
of bad laws and incompetent law
makers. They will call halt on ring
politics and clique rule. They will
demand a government Of the people,
by the people and will make better Sc
Iections than ever before-even If they
have to go outside Of the ring of pro-
fessional and persistent Office seekers.
Voters should constantly bear in mind
the great Importance to them as well
as to the candidates, the election of
1892.
