Kerry Cow and Shetland Pony.

The Kerry COW and Shetland pony are
products of many generations of scanty
food and severe climate. Each is sur
vival of the best of its kind. Starvation
and vigorous weather killed of the
weaker ANIMALS. Both arc extremely
hardy, but neither is to be recommen led

HOW DEEP SHOULD TIE FLOWING RE?
AS rule the land should be plowed
ms deep ms it is fertile and the pillow can
be made to go. 1t is thought by some
that plants that are wha. is called shall
low-rooted, as oats, barley and wheat,
do not need deep blowing, but this is
not at all a necessity for them. For the
least deep-rooted plant sends its roots
down as far rs food may be found, and
the deeper the soil the more the food is
increased. The roots of wheat have been
found eighteen inches below the surface,
and corn roots go down two or
three feet, and yet some farmers think
this plant does not need deep blowing.
Good practice consists in fertilizing the
land rs deeply as possible, and to do this
the blowing should be II little deeper
than the manure goes. But it is not
advisable to put the pillow any deeper at
amy time than it is possible to manure
the land. And as a deep rich soil should
be the aim OF every farmer it should be
a r'lle to pillow little deeper every year
until there is a full foot of fertile soil
for the pillow to work in. Nor is it nee
essary to obtain this to pillow that depth
every year; once in rotation is enough,
as the soil will not become compact in
the intervals between the crops. To get
down to this depth, subsoiling will be
required, and this should be done before
the grass seeding. The whole of the
soil does not need to be turned, but the
bottom only broken up and loosened. -

The crisis in the Democ

The crisis in the Democratic party
has assumed such a grave character
as to warrant the creation of a so
called Steering Committee" the
duty of which is to decide upon a
programme for the approaching
session of Congress and to force it
upon the Senators and members,
whether they want it or not. The
Inauguration of this policy is widely
hailed as an omen of harmonious
action; but, in point OF fact, it argues
more for discord than for peaceful
and united work. Only one Of the
"steerers," Senator Carlisle, has
been known as friend of the Presi-
dent elect-the other two, Senators
German and Brice, having really
been his enemies during the last
four years. The appointment Of
the committee itself savors strongly
of bossism, in that it proposes to
limit the right of members to indivi-
dual freedom in action and debate,
without any regard to their local
interests or plans. Its only difference
from an actual and individual
bossism is that it has a triple head
and this..is only nominal. The real
boss is the President elect, and a

eligibility could only turn upon the
fact of her sex, and upon,the judicial
Interpretation OF the pronoun che,
as applied to persons entitled
under the constitution to become
Senators. 1t would then become
the province OF the Supreme Court
of the United States to decide
whether the phraseology of the con
stitution, would warrant the appli-
cation OF the same pronoun che" to
both sexes. In state statutes, lii
commentaries and elsewhere, the
pronoun ''he" is jointly applicable
to both sexes, and by what contrary
rule of Interpretation could the
Supreme Court decide that the pro.
noun che" is applicable only to the
masculine sex, when the maxims of
the law regulating the conduct OF
the sexes make an almost unvarying
use OF che" wherever it deals with
both. The State OF Montana affords
a case in point. The laws of that
State in defining the duties of its
Attorney General, uses the so called
prohibitive Che" and yet woman
has been elected to that Office, and
her right to discharge its duties not
having been disputed. she will serve
her term.
1t is more than likely remarks a
contemporary that the point will have
to be passed upon at some time,
as in the West particularly women
are forcing themselves to the front
in politics, and one of them may
ultimately succeed in being elected
to the Senate. The courts would
then have grave responsibility to
discharge. If they extended the
meaning OF the pronoun che" to
women, as many sound lawyers now
think they must, would it not also
make women eligible to the Legis-
lature, the lower house Of Congress
and even the Presidency? The
prospect that it would seems clear,
whatever the fact may be, and pos
sibly the hope the Supreme Court
would not decree such an innovation
is what prompts Mrs. Leases oppo-
nents to brush her claims aside with
such open contempt.

ELKTON, DECEMBER II, 1892.

WOMEN are coming to the front
in politics rapidly in the West, and
if the prohibition party is to become
an important political factor in the
near future as many believe it will,
it is not improbable in view of the
number of women prominent in the
leadership of the Prohibitionlsts,
that the question of her eligibility to
the. legislature, the lower House of
Congress, the Senate, and even the
Presidency may soon become live
question. In fact, the political
aspiration of a woman to a seat in
the U. S. Senate is already endorsed
by large political party in Kansas,
and should Mrs. Lease succeed in
securing an election to seat in that

that he shall be white or black or

That Alone Should Elect Him.

EDS. RECoRD-UNIoN: 1 have read a
number of published assaults recently
made upon Street Commissioner Nc
Laughlin, by members of the late Street
Improvement Association, because that
official insisted on having Folsom gravel
placed on certain streets to be improved.
Well, the result has shown that Mr..
Mclaughlin should be reelected for this
reason, if no other. Most of us were ig-
norant of the difference between the Dit
gravel used by the Lindley-C Coleman
company and that found about Folsom
until we saw them tried side by side on
our streets.
Now go and view the contrast. /.
among others, thought it was a great
thing to have our streets improved with
gravel from the home pits, but what a
sorry condition some of the streets are in
that were thus improved" Look at O
street, and even 2 street, more recently
done. Five minutes rain is enough
to cause them to be churned up into
billows of red slush, while Sixteenth and
other streets that have since thanks to
Mr.. McLaughlin) been really improved
with clean, Folsom gravel, are as smooth
and dry, even during rainstorm, as one
could wish for.
1t would be calamity for any more of
the filthy pit gravel to be put on the
streets, so long as a good quality can be
got at Folsom.
It's q pity Mr.. Mclaughlin did not
make his discovery sooner than he did,
wish we had Folsom gravel on our street.
