The Butter Corr.

A leading authority says that a good
butter cow should have long face, the
eye alert and expressive, aud placed a
long way below the horns A cow
With eyes near the top of the head
does not know any more than a man
with eyes so placed. She 81 anIC have
q large muscle a slim neck and a vel
low skin, especially inside the ears; the
breathing should be regular the back
and abdomen strong, the udder wide
where it connects with the body. the
teats squarely placed. and the tail slim.
Over and above all these points she
must have the dairy form. The points
at best are only Indications The dairy
form is inseparably connected with a
good butter COW. The desirable dairy
form is always seen in the best types of
Jerseys, Guernseys, Holsteins and AYE
shires. The best beef form is presen-
ted in the ShOrthorns, Herefords and
most of the polled breeds. The intel
Ggent dairyman, with a knowledge
born of experience, desire, and ca
pacity for the business, never makes
the mistake of choosing his COW with
beef form. Neither will the intelli-
gent beef breeder choose his animal
from the dairy form, with her cat head
and relaxed eXpressio n. Physical
structure and natural adaptability en-
brace the possibilities and therefore in
crease the probabilities of success with
the butter COW.

If

No resident Of Wisconsin who is in
bis right mind will, after an eXamina-
ton Of these figures, pretend to say
that the second gerTylnander is a 'just
appOrtiOnment," or that it was not
made for the purpose of securing polit-
ical advantage to the democratic party
rather than make a fair and equitable
pportionmCnt of the work according
to the population" In the case of
Brown county, for example, instead of
carefully apportioning the two districts
Of the county so as to give equality of
representation to the inhabitants of the
county, and make the districts Of com
pact and contiguous territory with the
community interests carefully respect
ed, the second gerrymander made by
the democratic BOSSES in the teeth of Il
decision of the supreme court of the
commonwealth, laying down express
rules with respect tc this question,
from the two districts by dividing the
city of Fort Howard, and making a
difference of nearly 5000, or one-third
OF the unit basis for making the dis
tricts. The figures shown in the third
column Of the table presented above
are obtained by making two districts
with only a difference of 81 in their
population, and leaving the city of Fort
Howard intact, adding one OF two
towns from the outlying country, but
not breaking county lines.
1t is very apparent that the demo-
Clni ti1 bOCSaS in IyiT1o tbat 0no11s,
gelTymander did not heed the vigorous
language in the decision written by
Mr.. Justice Orion of the supreme court
in passing upon the first gerrymander.
The second gerrymander was formed
without regard to population.
The same is true Of Rock county.
There the city of GAINESVILLE is made
an assembly district, surrounded upon
ali sides by the territory of another
district, but the population dispropor-
ton is so great that, instead of being
less than 500, Which is shown to be pos
sible under a fair and equitable appor-
ti0nment, the variance exceeds G,000, or
more than one-third the entire unit
basis for IN assembly district.
The people should sean carefully these
figures. They show some of the in
Equity Of the second gcrrymander They
show, particularly in the d iricts of

4 British Scheme Which SH0uJd Uo1
Both Ways.


4 British Scheme Which Sh0uEd U0r
Both Ways.
The foreign manufacturers, inspired
by American free traders, have asked
to be permitted to exhibit their goods
at the worlds fair with placards Civ
ing their prices at the place Of manufac-
ture and also the prices with the Nc
kinley tariff added. American Golden
ties are always patting themselves on
the back over their brilliant move
which they think will greatly impress
visitors to the fair with the desirability
Of q speedy abolition of the Mckinley
tariff.
The way to meet them and beat them
at their own game is for American
manufacturers to plaoard their own
goods with the prices and wages paid
in producing them, side by side with
the wages paid to produce the foreign
article. Something like this would be
the result:
American manufacturers:
Wire nails-price. II cents a pound
Average wages, $3.50 day in the Uni
ted States; 81 a day in England.
Steel billets-Price, so a ten; average
wages, $3 a day in the United States;
$1.25 in England.
Calico-Price, 4 II cents a yard
Average wages, SLIGO in the United
! States; 5000 in England.
! English manufacturers:
| Wire nails-Price, 1 81 cents a pound
in England. With Mckinley tariff
added, 3 81 cents a pound.
| Steel billets-Price $1,000 a ton in
England. With Mckinley tariff added
| $2964 a ton.
Calico-Price, 5 cents a yard in Eng
land. With Mckinley tariff added
10 cents a yard.
| No doubt visitors would be impre sseG
but it would be with the superior GUal
ity of the domestic product, its phenOm
inal cheapness as compared with tn,
imported article considering the highe
labor cost of its manufacture, the un
eXplainable stupidity of him VIII,

good and cheap goods can be had a

Some Remarkable Facts in Regard to oar
ErpOrt ITOde.

The forthcoming report of the chief
Of the bureau Of national statistics
will present some interesting facts.
1t will show that the value of the
goods imported to the United States
free of duty is greater by $91, 1898
than in the year preceding it,
This is what the bill which the dem
Ocrats describe as operating like a
Chinese wall for the prevention of for
eign trade" has done. 1t has increased
the value of free imports by the greater
part of 100,000,000. Tea, sugar, coffee,
law silk and a number of articles that
we need, but which we cannot produce,
or not in sufficient quantities on our
own soil, have been imported, without
q cent of duty, to an amount that
comes near to $100,0OO,OO0 in excess of
other years.
SO that the first evident effect of the
Mckinley bill has been to enlarge the
free list by $91, 759.973 in twelve months
and if the tariff be a tax as the demo-
Gratis say, then the republican party
can claim credit for reduction of taxa
ton by near to $109, 2S4,7O
But on imports that pay duties there
has been a decrease of sos, 2S4, 705.
Our export trade has been UMPIRE
cedented in magnitude. 1t has exceed
ed a billion Of dollars.
Our total foreign trade, exports and
imports, has exceeded one and three
fOurths billions of dollars.
The value of our exports exceeded
those of our imports 500, 944 44 AZ
This represents the sum which the
world has paid, or has to pay. to US in
cash after all that we have received
from it in goods is deducted from the
years bill Of trade.
No such balance Of trade ever before
has been struck in favor of the United
States.
The commercial record of the fisca
year that ended on the 30th day of
June, 1892, is overwhelming and IN
questionable evidence of the wisdom
and rectitude of the republican policy.

FARM NOTES.

1t pays every community, business as

The apple-tree should not be trained so

They have great fondness for apple
leaves when they cannot get apples,
and will strip the limbs if allowed ac-

their flow Of milk.

Feeding for Eggs.

When the hens feed at the trough on
few minutes the work which should
extend over an hour or more The crop
is distended, the food is passed into the
gizard in larger quantities than IS re
Quired because of the rapidity of di-
gestion. The sense of hunger is in
duced on account of the inactivity Of
the gizzard. 1t is not being distende1
with hard substances and becomes in
active. The crop is emptied slowly,
and a portion of the soft food therein
ferments, and soft food compels the
hen to swallow more water than she
needs. She usually drinks but linz
ted amount, and any surplus water is
vOided with the food. When she is
compelled to take more water than
necessary, it is but a short time until
bowel disease results. The cause is
ascribed to cholera, when it is really
Indigestion. SO says Amer. Poultry
Journal. In eating soft food the hen
is unable to make selection of kinds.
but must bolt the whole, wet or dry,
and take the consequences only to be
condemned as worthless for not pro-
ducing eggs from food which in the
judgement of her owner is just what
all hens should have in order to make
them lay. DOmineering hens take
more than their share from the trough,
keeping the timid ones away. Such
hens become over fat while the others
do not recieva food enough. When
the food is scattered far and wide each
hen secures her share according to her
industry. The more industrious the
hen the more she will receive, and the
more eggs she will lay. The lack Of
exercise when fed soft food induces the
vices Of egg-eating and feather-pulling

NOTE OF WARNINCl
To THE PUBLIC:

w
DWIGHT, ILL.,, April 30, 1892.
As a matter of justice to ourselves and to
the reputation Of Dr. Leslie +. Keeley's
Double Chloride of Gold remedies for the
cure of the liquor, opium, morphine and
tobacco diseases and Neurasthenia, we warn
the public that these remedies are used by
no institution or sanitarium in the United
States except those established by ouL com
pany under the uniform name Of "The
Kelley Institute"
All others claiming to Use our remedies
are frauds and imposters.
We have now sixty Keeley Institutes es-
tablished in various parts Of the United
States where the Keeley treatment is adj
ministered and the Keeley remedies sold
We, however caution all to examine well
and know that they are dealing with genuine
representatives authorized by us, before
taking the treatment or purchasing remedies.
The fraudulent establishments Use the name
of "Bi-Chloride of Gold" or similar titles.
The newspapers do not discriminate sufii-
ciently to know that they are imitators, and
so put down all accidents occurring at such
establishments as being brought about by
the Keeley treatment. This j. matter Of
much concern to US hence this warning.
Respectfully yours,
THE LESLIE +. KELLEY co.
Curtis J. Judd, Sccy aid Treas.
The Keeley institute at Greensboro, \. C.,
is the only one in the state, and all repre-
sentations that there is in the state any cure
that is identical with, or the same a, the
Kelley Double Chloride Of Gold Cure are
malicious, false, and made for the purpose Of
deceiving. We learn with indignant regret
that such claim is being made, and feeling
that il it be kurtful to Us il sill prove more
disastrous To those who are deceived thereby,
we sound this warming.

ALLISON LYNCHED.
A Young White Man Taken from Jail by
Mob and Hanged.

Young White Man Taken from Jail by
Mob and Hanged.
Thomas Allison, who several weeks
ago shot down and instantly killed w. HI.
Brown, a business young man of Mt Airy,
was Monday night taken in hand by a
mob and hanged. The lynching party
took Allison from the jail at Dobson,
Surry county, and swung him up to a
tree
This is the sequel TO a cold -blooded
tragedy. Allison was young man en-
gagged in the tobacco business at Mt. Airy
aud Brown was also engaged in the same
business, in the same town. About a
month ago Allison met Brown on the
streets of Mt. Airy and shot him down.
The affair created intense indignation in
Mt. Airy, as it was murder unprovoked.
The previous day, Allison had bantered
Brown for foot race. Brown jokingly
accepted and did not turn up at the place
and time appointed. The next day, ALI
son, who had been drinking, attacked
Brown for this failure to show up for the
race, and shot him down without warn
inc
