A Condition-NOt a Theory.

\ confidential word in the ear of the
Cumberland Neocs.
You are doing your party more in
jury by your current policy than all
the other papers, taken together, could
accomplish.
The feeling of dissatisfaction with
the intolerant disposition of those you
represent is deep-seated and wide
spread.
Those of your party who disagree
with you are angry. and they comprise
elements and numbers sufficient to
overthrow you completely.
And they are going to do it unless
there is change for the better.
1t makes no difference what courts
or governors do, the people do not like
having the right of public discussisn of
public affairs suppressed.
They know very we'll the close
relationship one sort of liberty holds
to anothe, sort.
If free press can be stlfied by the
employment Of the States imposing
machinery and gigantic power, it is
but one remove to strangle free speech
by the same means.
And next it will be dangerous to
think, because a man might talk
treason in his sleep.
There is yet time for halt, time to
turn and light out down grade on the
back track.
And the gates on that road are all
wide open.

Excess In Fat Il Usually the Source e.
Considerable Lsss
When the farmer is feeding for his
own meat he has no one but his own
taste and that of his family to consult,
but in feeding for market, IL he expects
to realize the best price. he must sup
ply what the market demands With
hogs there has been q considerable
change and the farmer must breed and
feed SO as to supply what Is needed as
fully as possible. Instead Of o hog
made extremely fat, proportion of fat
and lean and not so large an animal Is
wanted, and sells at better price .
pound than the fat animal. while in
nearly all cases it can be placed on the
market at a less cost
One of the principal causes of the ex.
cess of fat with hogs is the exclusive
feeding of corn. So many rely almost
entirely upon corn as food for their
hogs, not only in fattening or finishing
for market but also in feeding for
growth, and as corn is very fattening
food the natural consequence is U car.
cass with a large proportion of fat.
The selection, feeding and breeding
have all been to this end and with q
predisposition in this direction, and
ration that is well adapted to its deve[
opment, large proportion of the hogs
marketed have contained an excess Of
fat
While breeding is factor in secur-
ing better proportloned carcass, the
feeding is still more important By
supplying good variety and using
such materials as are well adapted to .
development of lean as well as fat
meat. such as alfalfa, peas, barley,
sugar bcets, squash or other fesh-form-
ing seeds, better animal can be se-
cured, and while ordinarily corn is one
of the cheapest hog feeds, other ma
terial can be used in connection with il
that will still help to reduce the cost
Especially during growth is it inn
portant to feed properly. Keep in .
good, thrifty condition, but not fat,
using alfalfa steamed in winter or
green in summer, bran ship-stuff, oats,
barley or other material to secure
good growth of bone and muscle. You
need not discard corn entirely II you
can grow it easily, but using in connec-
ton with other materials rather than
making it an exclusive food. After an
animal has reached a certain stage,
any gain beyond this is secured ut an
additional cost This, OF course, lessons
the profit, and when tho lower prices
are considered it is certainly not ad.
visable to feed beyond certain weight
In majority of cases hogs that are
well finished for market, weighing
from IT'S to 900 pounds not ONLY sell at
the best prices but cost less to feed
than those that average 500 pounds, as
the additional weight Is generally
largely fat and is not what the con.
sumner wants.--Colman's Rural World.

REGARDING coNcRErk.
It Can BE Csed In Many Ways About
Fnrnis and Housaa-

Concrete may be turned to many val.
liable uses about farms and rural dwell
ings, and any ordinary workman can
manage it 1t Is made up Of the COM
mon hydraulic cement or waterlime,
one part; clean and sharp. rather coarse
sand, three parts, and broken stone or
coarse gravel, FIVE parts The lime and
sand ah mixed dry and evenly as pos
sible; this is necessary, because il
mixed wet it will quickly harden and
be spoiled A mixing-board or table Is
made and the cement and sand are
spre ad on it Water is then added to
make a thin mortar. Tho broken
stone or gravel, which shoul4 be clean
and free from earth, is kept wet, and
the required quantity is added to the
mortar, the whole being shoveled over
and over until each fragment is COM
pletely covered with the cement. This
is important; the strength and solidity
of the concrete depend upon it.
To lay a floor, the bottom is first
graded and made level. and should be
well rammed to get solid foundation.
AS much of the concrete is then mixed
as can be spread while a second batch
is mixing, and is spread on the floor
and beaten drown. More of the con-
crete is then spread aud clean joint is
made, so that no cracks will be left in
the floor
The whole floor is thus laid and made
as smooth as possible by rubber of
plank with handle, by which the sur
face is smoothed and leveled. After
the floor is laid it is covered with fin
ishing coat of the cement and sand
mortar alone, and this is well rubbed,
as before, to get good surface.
1t must be left few days to harden
before it is used 1t will be impervious
to rats, and il coated with hot gas-tar
or asphaltum, it will be perfectly water
proof The floor should be at least
three inches thick, and the finishing
coat need be no thicker than is neces-
sary to make the surface smooth. This
is the best floor for stables and dairies.
The quantities of materials required
may be calculated on this basis: A
barrel of the cement and three of sand
will make 12 cubic feet of mortar. and
the barrels of stone or gravel will
make 20 cubic feet This quantity of
concrete will make 100 square feet of
floor three inches thick. To find the
quantity required, the length and width
of the floor are multiplied together,
this giving the number of square feet
in it.-N. Y. Tribune.

loudly complain:

Gives each the semblanco Of Q shroad
Loose wrapped round shapes-a1 evil crowd
That. grisly hued and frowning browed,
Have slipped the chains should bind them
They wander lone, they gather where
Are wild and hurried meetings;
Their garments waver IN mid air,
And curses oft-but never prayer
Distort their lips, while fierce despair
O'ershadows all their greetings
Thefr breath is like q wailing breeze
Through shuddering ether gliding,
1t cleaves unto the shrinking trees,
That quake as though some fell disease
Came rushing forth, their limbs to seize.
From dens where it had hiding.
In the still village, down below,
The good folk rest in slumber;
Unmindful Of the plotting foe,
Marshaied above to work them woe
A sinister and gloomy show
OF demons, I'll to number.
Now, to the heart OF windy space
The quiet hamlet dark k'ning-
The weird assemblaEe flock apace;
Shape unto shape, and face to face,
And there, just Ger the sleeping place,
Hang orninously, ark'ning
In silence, deep as of the dead,
The somber cohorts listen;
While one feet messenger Is sped
Away upon some erraud dread,
And meath the ftful moonbeams red
BY times his garments glisten-
The messenger flies forward fast,
And waits the silent column;
The slow-uGced moments glinmer past
Wake. sIumberers. and gaze aghast:
Seek safety, ere the die is cast,
From doom so sad and solemn.
All. harmless terror of the sky,
OF fancy's own creating!

While vaporous phantoms, up on high.
Though the vast void float wildly by
A placid morn awaiting.
