SPLIT IN THE ALLIANCE.
The Farmers alliance Whichseemed
about to carry everything before it
and control the destiny of the nation,
is now reaching the stage OF dissOlu-
ton, if there is anything in history.
In unity there is strength, but when
discord and dissention enters the
family and is not peremptorily eX.
PEELED the strength Of that family is
impaired and germs of decay are i'm
planted that speedily work ruin, The
farmers alliance was founded on
good principles and started out on a
high mission. Its aims were origi-
nally pure and worthy of
success. But like every
other mortal scheme, it was at the
mercy Of designing knaves, as we'll as
unWise well meaning friends. 1t Of
fered a grand chance for the politician
and place hunter, who did not fail to
take advantage of the OPP Ortunity. If
meant place and power to them. If
its objects were carried out, it meant
less plumber for those who had been
fattening OH the farmer and they to
secure themselves wormed into the
organization, that they might breed
dissent ana bring about its dissolution.
Those now posing as leaders of
the Alliance and advocating sub
treasury and other utopion schemes
are its worst enemies and are so
acting for unholy purposes. This
Third Party movement is one of their
tricks and is so barefaced as to be APP
parent to the most simple minded. 1t
is purely a scheme to disrupt the
Democratic party, and promises to
succeed fairly well. A dispatch from
Washington few days ago told us
that the Alliance leaders in congress
stand by the Third Party and fatty
refuse to cast in their lot with the
Democrats. If this tomfoolery goes
on they will probably sdcceed in per-
petuating Republican misrule for a
time, but the offending organization
must soon fall to pieces from its own
inherent rOttenness.
HORSE SENSG.
y writer in the Louisville Courier:
Journal makes horse talk as follows
Don't lend me to blOckhead that
has less sense than [ have. Don't
think because l am a horse that iron
weeds and briers won't hurt in nv
hay Don't be so careless of my har-
ness as to find great sore on me be-
fore you attend to it. Don't run me
down a steep hill, for if anything
should give way might break your
neck.
Don't whip Inc when | get fright
ened along the road, or / will EXPECT
it next time and may make trouble.
Don't put on my blind bride so il
will irritate my eyes or so leave NV
forelock that it will be in my eyes.
Don't leave me hitched in nv stall
at night with big cob right where
must lie down. | am tired and can't
select smooth place.
Don't say whoa! unless YOU mean it.
Teach me to stop at the word. It NAV |
check me if the lines break and save |
a runaway and smash up.
Don't compel me to eat more salt I
than | want by mixing it with NV
oats. | know better than any other
animal how much need.
Don't trot me up hill, for have TO
carry you and the buggy and myself
too. Try it yourself sometime, RIM
up hill with big load.
DAIRY HINTS.
There are three chances for a man
to. fail with a dairy says John Gould
work as hard as he may with hand
and hoe to keep the dairy in food
The first is through having poor cows
and working on them with a firm
conviction that good food in time will
make good profitable COWS of them
Then again . a-An is so economical
with Lis COW food, that tbe COWS
have nothing beyond the actual
food OF support to do with and small
yield is obtained, where if the dish
went to the grain box once more q
good yield would have resulted.
Ihen good COWS and good feed NAV
De largely sacrificed by poor care and
attention so that feed goes to fight tba
elements, and often when all these aro
conducted on the best plans the nro.
duct made is so poor in quality tho+
the sum received is below cost 0f nro
auction, and so failure is the result
Whefe success would have been So,
cured with the possession of we'll
algested dairy knowledge. It is tha
pest al the way through thai now
pays the best in the dairy.
