What He Says About the Situation in
the West and South.
Governor Mckinley is confident Of
Republican success. On a recent visit to
New York he was asked if there is any
prospect of Republican losses in the
west.
"Oh, not the least" was the answer.
"They are Republican states and they
cannot be carried by the Democrats. l

time ago, and the feeling then was that
the Republicans would surely carry the
state"
els there any danger in Iowa or Ne
braska?"
"There is not. The Republicans will
win both those states. At the meeting
in Lincoln, Neb., where I spoke on Aug.
8, there were at the least calculation 49,
900 people present. They came from
Iowa, from Kansas and from Missouri,
and there seemed to be the utmost en-
thusiasm. The Republicans Of Iowa
and Nebraska are bound to win this
year."

souCnefn states are worth looking after
and that there is a good field for work
in them?"

be eliminated from the campaign the
south would soon vote with us on the

Wide Ranges Of Temperature.

There is a locality in Montana which has
the greatest range of temperature of per-
haps any spot on earth. That place is
Havre, which is situated zeal the Cana
dian line. The town is $4,000 or Is, 200 feet
above sea level, but despite that the ther-
mometer registers as high as 80 degs. in
the shade, and the temperature the next
day would perhaps drop to 80 degs. The
sudden changes are accounted for by the
fact of the towns peculiar location. It is on
the western slope of the Rocky mountains,
and so situated as to catch the full force
of a hot wave peculiar to that region.
What creates this hot blast or where it
comes from the scientists of the govern
ment weather bureau have for years been
patiently e~ndeavoring to determine. They
know it is a scorcher, and that is all they
know about it. 1t is very similar in it's
queer antics to the simoom of Sahara, and
is dreaded almost as much as that monster
of the burning desert.

SOME VALUABLE STATISTICS.

Although They Have to Do with Crime
They Are of Interest to All.
Every reader knows what absurd con-
illusions as to the social and moral condi-
ton OF a country are often drawn from i'm
perfect statistics, but DR.. William Duff
field Robinson, physician for ten years to
the Eastern penitentiary of Pennsylvania,
has figured some facts down to a fine
point. He declares that the sentences to
the penltentiary may be taken as fairly
representative of the total amount of crime
prevailing in the entire district from which
it receives prisoners, and that the extent
of territory and period of time covered by
the calculation make the deductions a fair
index of the criminal phenomena of the
whole country.
He argues that reformation is practical
BILE from the fact that one-third of the
criminals are between twenty and twenty
five years of age. He finds that men of
sixty are about eight times as trustworthy
as men of twenty-five, or, to put it in
another way, of eight men who are crimi-
nails at twenty-five seven will be law abid-
ing citizens at sixty. A terror of the law
has brought about the reformation in most
cases, he thinks.
1t is true that an overwhelming majority
of criminals are young, but does it follow
that most of them reform as they grow
older? Is it not likely that they die twice
as fast as other men? His division of
crimes as to the age when they are most
common is very interesting. He concludes
that personal assaults, including assault
and battery in all forms, mayhem, poison.
ing and sensual crimes, are steadily on the
increase and forgery and counterfeiting on
the decline.

that the author of the "Reveries," Donald

at twenty he never dreamed of attaining.

Mr.. Cleveland Must Have Forgotten This.
The Cleveland administration Of the
public land Office, after suspending final
action on nearly every entry in the
whole country a full year in attempt
ing to fasten a charge of fraud upon
every settler, went out Of office leaving
over 100000 cases awaiting action.
These have been all disposed of by the
Harrison administration and the work
brought down to date. The number of
patents issued to farmers by the Harri-
son administration is nearly ten times
as many as the Cleveland administration
issued in the same length of time.

hoof is usually a sound hoof, and this
simple rule is universally ignored. Keep
the foot level; there is the condensed
lore of a hundred veterinary colleges in
that sentence.
"Now, as to the dreadful n~avicular
disease. No man can tell, or ever will
be able to tell, whether a horse has navic-
ular disease or not unless he dissects
the foot. Fully two-thirds of the al
legged n~avicular diseases are merely suf-
fe,ings caused by improper shoeing.
"a city horse, whether for coach, car
or draft purposes, should have three
calks on each shoe, one in front and two
behind. The front calk should be about
half an inch from the toe, and the two
hind calks should be about an inch each
from the end Of the shoe. When you
raise the heel you depress the ankle, and
when you raise the toe you raise the
ankle also, all the colleges and gilded
faculties in the world Notwithstanding.

Il begins to get thin turn the stock

time to pick up in the first one. Ameri-

Pigs are scarce this summer. The
wet, late spring cut off many Of them
untimely. At the Iowa Swine Breeders
association it was reported that the loss
in the state averaged nearly one-third
of the ordinary crop. The wise farmer
will therefore take good care Of the hogs

HOW A HORSE LANDS--FROM o
ed. This should be corrected, for a man
should know exactly how the foot works.
In both running and trotting, as the
foot lands, first the heel strikes the
ground, then the toe-two distinct mo-
tons, and SO wonderfully quicl. that the
foot seems to land fiat.
81 repeat and emphasize the point
keep the horses footlevel. F'orinstance,
strained tendons are most common, and
the horse is obliged to limp, the pain is
so great, and there can be no pleasurein
riding or driving a horse that is suffer-
ing at every step he takes. The most
common cause of distress is the fact of
one side of the shoe being higher than
the other. This strains the sesamoidal
ligament on the low side. The average
veterinarians will battle and blister for
this. The a%bsurdity Of this is evident,
for until the strain is removed from that
ligament all the bathing and olistering
in the world won't cure.
"Many people want to know how a sad
die horse should be shod. Use a smooth
shoe on him, M without calks. Have
the foot leveled properly, and do not go
at any pace except a walk on paved
streets; when on mother earth, then it's
time enough to extend your steed.
"A horse should have its weight evenly
suspended, and none of the sole should
touch the ground. The foot is elastic
and contracts and expands, the frog be-
ing especially porous and elastic. Any
thing that tends to bind the foot is I'M
desirable"

horse lover, Mr.. Hermon L. Ensign, said:
