REDUCED no THE RAvKs

The history of Hillism in Augusta and
Staunton was remarkable instance Of
facih descealsas. -Four weeks ago, it was
General Hill who held the key to the Presi-
dental election. Three weeks ago, it was
Colonel Hill ''or some Western man, Two
weeks ago, it was Captain Hill who thought
neither Cleveland nor Hill would 'sget it. y
A week ago, it was Sergeant Hill who only
asked for anti-Cleveland delegates. Last
Saturday, it was Corporal Fill piteously APP
pealing for uninstructed delegates, and to-
day it is PLAIN Private Hill content to slip in
delegate on the sly anywhere he can. Pri-
vate Hill now says his name ism t Hill at all
but that he was christened 'may the best
man win no matter who he ISL What a
signal contrast to stalwart, robust, Tariff
Reform Cleveland Democrat, who knows
what he wants, who he wants, aud why he
wants him, and ism t afraid to say so in open
day light to all corners.

THE LOGIC OF INSTRUCTED DELE
CATIONS

If the people are competent by their votes
to elect delegates, they are also competent
to instruct them. If they are not compe-
tent to instruct them, then they are not
competent to elect them. A man who can
not tell an employee what he wants done is
not competent employer. That is the
rigid logic Of the matter which cannot be
evaded. There have been many devices
among politicians to wrest power from the
people, but none more adroit and plausible
than their opposition to the instruction of
delegates. 1t Is the last ditch of the poll
tician; that gone, and he is brought face
to face with the people S power, and the peo-
pie have their way.
If a delegate proposes to carry out the
views of those that elect him, he should not
object to instruction. If he proposes not
to carry them out; to go to State conven-
ton and take the advice of others than
the people he has left behind him at home,
then he should not be elected. If he wants
to be ''a free man, untrameled'-the
usual assertion Of silly novices, OF
the cunning dodge of designing men who
are not silly-then he ought to be 'sfree and
untrameled' to stay at home. If he is one
of those Solomonic statesmen who knows
better what is good for the people than the
people do themselves, then by all means he
ought to stay at home where such giant in
tellects are much scarcer than they are at
State conventions, and where they are more
needed.
The voters who create delegates have the
right and it is their duty to instruct them.
If the delegates elected May 10th are Cleve-
land delegates, they ought to be instructed
for Cleveland. If they are Hill delegates
they ought to be instructed for Hill. All
this talk about being for ''the most avail
able man. is mere wind. No Democrat
elected from Virginia to go to Chicago
is going to vote there to nominate any man
who is not available. He goes there for
Cleveland, but if it is shown there sin
the period of elaboration" to use Mr..
Cleveland's expression, that he is not an
available man, then he will nominate some
other man as much like him as possible.

CRiBBlNG INCURABLe.
One of the Worst Vices to Which a Horse
Can Become Addicted.


Can Become Addicted.
Cribbing or crib biting is practically
incurable. The most that can be done
is to keep the horse in stall from
whose sides there are no projections
that the animal can rest its teeth upon,
The manager should also be removed
and the animal fed from Il box which is
taken ont after each meal. Cribbing
may lead to wind sucking, the horse
drawing air Thorough the mouth into
the stomach This vice is worse than
cribbing, as it renders the victim. liable
to attacks of collie; or, stopping short
of that, it causes distention of the in
testincs and Indigestion to an extent
uniting the animal for work and keep
ing it out of condition. A horse may
crib and suck wind both at once or may
do either alone. In the latter case the
animal first arches his neck and then
straightcns it, ending the operation by
extending the head and moving the
lips with a peculiar smacking sound.
Temporary prevention of cribbing is
done by buckllng a wide strap tight
about the throat close to the head, but
the strap leaves an unsightly mark and
its use is believed to cause roaring
Wind-sucking may be stopped in some
cases by compelling the horse to wear
a headstall to whose throat strap is at
tached block of wood shaped to fit
the angle formed by the neck and lower
jaw and covered with leather through
which sharp pointed tacks have been
driven in such way that when the APP
pliance is in position the horse cannot
arch its neck without being priclxed by
the tacks A sound horse hitched next
to cribber may acquire the vice in a
few hours. Also a horse sound at 10 a.
IN. may learn to crib be tween that time
and noon. Cribbing and wind-sucking
are unsoundness in law.-Farm and

GAPES IN POULTRY.
The Cause of the Troublesome Ailment
and the Remedy.

and the Remedy.
AS this is the season for young
chicks, have no doubt there are many
troubled with the gapes | will give
the cause and the remedy, Keep your
chicks in warm, dry place, feed on
dry food, such as wheat and cracked
corn. Grease the hen under the wings.
This will grease the downy plume Of
the chick whilst melting. This downy
plume they are continually picking and
occasionally one will be sucked into
windpipe, 1t works its way down to
the lungs. 1t soon becomes covered
with mucus-a Shiny substance col
orcd with blood, A few of these soon
clog up the air passage. The chick
then gasps for breath. Remove them
and 1t will cat imm ediately.
Some say the "gapes" is from n
nit of louise, and passing in the
wind-pipe forms worm; it con
tains no life and never crawls nor
wriggles. The nit of louise will
hatch louise every time, and nothing
else. These gapes, as they are called,
are double, every one of them; one
part being little longer than the
other. just so with the downy plume
of the chick, invariably every one; by
doubling horse hair you can extract
one. Examine it with strong glass
and you will see what is supposed to be
the intestincs of the worm; but it is the
soft down of the plume. If it is from
a white chick it will be white; if from a
black one it will be black, or from a
Dominique it will be spotted. Place a
hair into water for a day or two in
warm weather, and it will be coated
with the same Shiny or mucous sub
stance.
In cool, wet weather chicks are more
subject to gapes, as they are cooped up
and have no exercise, except to pass the
time in picking themselves, thus filling
their windpipe and lungs with the little
downy plume when Noting, Why are
ducks and geese not troubled with
gapes2 Because they do not mott their
downy plumes, On the contrary, it in.
crcases in quantity and in length for
the purpose of keeping their bodies
warm, being a water fowl.

Der of it, the mountain man replied.
"You said that this here bar is kitten
of thing, and then said that bar over
yander in the lot is bug-eat; and am
willin' to leave it to any jury that can
be raked up in this town that am
right. know what it is to be bug-eat,
and don't blame the bar, for / don't
reckon he could help it. L had dog
once that was bug-eat-as kind-hearted
and gentlemanly dog as you ever seen
and didn't hold him responsible.
Say, now, without any more foolish
ness, don't you want to buy b'ar?"
Steve placed his hand on post to
steady himself. He looked at the noun
tain man with all the contempt he
could throw into his watery eyes, and
then, still under so strong a restraint
that the baggy knees of his trousers
quivered, thus delivered himself:
81 am tryin' to make an honest livin'
and / hope to join the church some day;
but If you don't go away from here I'll
hurt you, and I'll make it pint of
hurtin' you mighty bad. Do you hear?"
"Oh yes, | hear, and ruther than
have any diffikilty, I'll harken; but do
hope that befo' you join the church and
befo' the day is over, for that matter,
you may change yo' mind about this
bar. Get ep, boy" He swung his
hickory, and dealt the mule decisive
blow.
Business was dull, and Steve nodded
\ and dreamed as he sat on the veranda.
He was aroused by noise, and looking
up he saw that the mountain man had
again stopped at the gate.
Look here!" Steve yelled, now under
very little restraint, Thought I told
you to go on away from here!"
"You did tell me, and did 60 away,
but that didn't keep me from comm
back again. l have been to nearly
every place in this town, and nobody
don't seem to want bar, and the fact
has begun to crawl into my mind that
the bar market down here is pretty
dull. Down yonder jest now the
thought struck me that arter all you
mout want q real bar, and as | am
willin' to help you out with yo' wants,
l will let you have this one for ten dol
lars"
Steve went out to the gate. He put
his elbows on wheel of the wagon
and, looking hard at the mountain man.
said:
81 have been very kind to YOU"
~ haven't made that diskivery, but
if you have been kind to me I'm mucl
obleeged"
81 have been kind to you, and now
want to tell you what I'm goin' to do
I'm goin' to maui you"
And he did maui him. He snatcheC

but then, with the appearance of hav-
ing changed his mind, stretched his
long neck toward old Steve and said:
when you say you've got all the
bar YOU want, l reckon you mean that
mouse-gnawed and hug-eaten invalid

Steve got up, and through the force
of custom acquired in earlier life,
busted the seat of his trousers. The
mountain man again had gathered his
hickory for decisive blow nj his mule,

LIVE STOCK NOTES.

WHEN dairymen aim to get certain
amount of butter or milk per COW per
annum, instead of trying to feed as lit
tie as possible, they will have higher
opinion of the dairy business than they
do now.
SoLING will bring about a better sys-
tenn of farming than the old slipshod,
happy-go-lucky system that suits so
many farmers. But all the same it is
coming, and don't you forget it, Mr.,
Objector.
SUCCESS in dairyiug does not come
through carelessness. The man who
studies most, reads most, thinks most
and tries the hardest, will be apt to
achieve the most. At any rate he
ought to.

during the performance the bear sat in
the wagon and looked on with an indif-
ference complete in every detail, The
mountain man climbed back to his seat
as soon as Steve granted him that priv
ilege, and, gathering up the hickory,
said After all reckon you know yo'
own mind best-don't reckon you really
do want to buy bar. Good-by, sah!'
Evening came and strangers who had
heard that a desperate man would
wrestle with ferocious bear, gathered
at the place of encounter.
Nov, gentlemen" said Steve, 'the
time has come for me to show you what
white man can do. All my folks were
bar fighters, and so far as heard from
not one of them was ever whipped
Some hunters have just brought in a
monstrous bar from down in the bot
him just pay twenty-five cents and
| come ahead"
A number of men paid their money
and followed him into the back lot.
Those who were acquainted with the
indolent habits of the bear said nothing,
partly through fear of mourning the
enmity of Old Steve, but mainly to fos-
ter laugh at the expense of the gull
lible "tenderfeet."
Steve conducted the spectators to the
tree where the bear was chained. The
brown of evening, making a mystery of
the huge black mass of animal life and
hiding the patches on his coat, pro-
claimed him savage monster.
"Gentlemen," said Steve, "befo' go
into this here fight l want to tell you
that don't deserve no sympathy, for
have brought it on myself. Here goes. "
He made lunge at the bear The
monster threw himself in an upright
position against the tree and caught
Steve in his arms. For moment there
was silence, and then loud yell split
the stiffness of the deepening twilight.
The bear boxed Steve, he Rugged him
time and again and then appeared to
be biting him.
Take him away! he's killing me"
the gladiator cried. Two men seized
Stcve's legs and drew him beyond the
bears reach, and the monstcr--and in
deed he was one now stretched his
chain in his efforts to renew the en-
gagemcnt. Steve was taken into the
house. He was covered with blood, aut
it was evident that a number of his ribs
were broken.
"Have you anything to say" some
one asked at may be probable that
You can't talk after awhile"
"An I've got to say is this" Steve
groaned. II wish hadn't got so inter
mate with that blamed bar
Several men went out with Lantern
TO look at the victor. They founC
nothing but a chain under the tree, bu
down farther in fence corner they
found worn and flea-bitten beal
asleep. Had they continued thei
search, however, they might have
found down the road mountain mar
helping his bear into "a wagon; an,
they might possibly have learned tina
the mountain man, for purposes pc
culiarly his own, had liberated the LAZY
bruin and had temporarily chained hi
own bear to the tree.-N. y. Advertiser
