Ground Bones for Poultry.

Ground bones and cut bones are diff
ferent. A fresh, green bone cannot
well be ground. 1t may be crushed or
pounded, but not easily ground.
Hand-mills are in use that permit of
grinding bones that have become hard
and Cry, or have been steamed and
heated, but the green bones must be
pounded or cut III fine pieces With
knives. There is great difference
in the value Of fresh bones from the

posed until they are dry. Green bones
contain quite proportion of meat
and cartilage, and are greedily eaten
by ali classes of fowls.

A New Arctic Travel Scheme.

There is a young man in Truckee,
CAL, who thinks he has solved the
problem of Arctic travel, and brought
the North Pole within the pale of civili-
zation. The machine he has invented
is sort of steam-motor sleigh. He
has been using the first machine which
he constructed-a small one run By
hand power-for snow and ice travel
among the mountains during the last
two years with entire success. He is
now having made at the iron works a
large one to be run by steam power. If
no Arctic explorer takes advantage of
this new means of reaching the North
Pole by express he will use it for haul
ing passengers and towing logs and car
rying freight in the high Sierras, and
will have it on hand for transferring
passengers over snow blockades on the
Central Pacific. He might find a field
for his invention if he would join the
proposed Perry relief expedition,

THE DAIRY.
Simple Feeding Rules.

The live weight Of an animal de-
cideS its ration of support. 1t should
beeeQuaI to ,! per cent. in dry food
matter; or not less than thirty pounds
per day Of good hay, or its equivalent
in grain, straw ensilage or roots for a
thousand-pound cow.
No definite details can be given for
feeding q good cow. Her food will
depend on the owners supplies, her
appetite, digestion, and the value Of
her marketable goods.
For a standard quality cow of 500
to 900 pounds weight at flush, making
twenty-five pounds TO thirty pounds
of milk per day, or one and one-half
pounds to two pounds of butter, it
will be safe to feed her rich, digesti-
bic food. Her bran should be about
per cent. Of her live weight,
peas and oats ground, about / per
cent, and cotton meal or mix
ture of linseed cake meal and cotton
seed meal in equal proportions, equal
to per cent. live weight, clover hay,
l per cent, ensilage, roots, as carrots
or mangels, or green feed in summer.
according to their quality, such a
quantity as will yield not less dry
matter than , per cent. of live weight.
The above ration has been Sug-
gested because it represents d good
variety of food, is rich. or has a close,
nutritiye ratio of about 1:5 to log,
and will pay for standard (fourueen-
pound) cow.
The value of manurial reSidueS must
always be born in mind in choosing
food. The richer the food the higher
the manure value, and the greater
the care required to preserve it.
The ration here given is winter
one, and a cow as good as the one in
mind would earn from 60 cents to 81
a day in milk. cream or butter.
How much to feed and how rich
the food should be must always be
governed by the produce and its value
from calying to drying off. Intelli-
gence and discretion must be exercised
from day to day. Weigh and register
every day, or at least every ten days,
the cows products. Reduce or increase
her food supplies, according to her
condition from calving and earning
power of her produce.
The net food cost may be taken at
about tw0-thirds the value of the ra-
ton. The balance is the value of the
manure
Always give salt in the food, never
less than one ounce per day, or ! per
cent. of the live weight per month.
The length of the milking period of a
WeIl-bred and well-fed COW depends
on regular and persistent milking by
her attendant. 1t should be 300 to
$50 days, or within month of caly-
ing.
Never feed turnips, cabbage, or any
thing which taintS milk. Make
changes gradually.

IFOM Idte Planning Jhan from al other
causes put together, and when a tree
or plant, owing to some favorable
conditions, does manage to survive
transplanting, its growth for the rest
of that season is but a very trifing
and miserable one. For complete
success, trees and plants must be put
into their places while dormant and
before the buds start, and to do this
other and preliminary operations must
be performed early, such as preparing
the ground, etc. Thus, he who is be-
hind in the first steps Of his springs
work is, as a natural sequence, be-
hind in the last and he is fortunate
indeed if he catches up by the close

Facts that Stand for Something.

Tin plate facts will not down to please
calamity liars. On the contrary, they
insist on hopping up. The Loeb Laird
Estate and Mining Company, the James
River Steel and Iron Company and the
Cash Tin Mining Company OF Virginia
have organized a company with 81, 000,-
0OO capital, partly represented by 1000
acres Of tin ore land and 4 1000 acres of
iron ore land, to build a tin plate mill
in that state that will turn out 900 boxes
daily and employ 600 hands. We are
going to make our own tin plate in this
country if the workingmen will say by
their voice and vote that the Democrats
must keep their hands off.

Mr.. Blaine's Right to Be Candidate.

The remark is often heard that "Mr.
Blaine ought not to be a candidate while
secretary of state under President Har-
rison." This, when examined, is a
somewhat absurd view. If the people
desire a man it makes no difference
what station in life he is holding. They
have the right to ask him to serve them.
If a member of the cabinet should be a
candidate it will be purely personal
question between him and the Presi-
dent whether he should remain in office
or resign. The question does not in the
least affect his right to candidacy. 1t is
one to be settled by the President alone
or by the President and himself.
In 1852, when Mr.. Webster was sec
rotary of state under President Fill

The more succulent foods make
the more watery milk and oily cream,

long distance for water. If she does

Gov. Boies yYhistlinE Another Time.

When Boies, of Iowa, first ran for
governor the burden of his speech was
that the farmers were being loaded
down with taxation, that the Industries
OF the state were languishing in conse-
quence of a prohlbitOry tariff, and that
under the influence of this robbery"
Iowa was growing poorer instead of
richer. In his campaign last fall the
Governor still lamented the ruinous
condition of things under the Repub-
lican tariff robbery" The state audi
tor of Iowa, and he happens to be a
Democrat, has issued his report, and it
shows that during the past year the
banks in that state, not including ma
tlOnal banks, increased in number 70
and increased in deposits SIS, 300, 900.
lOWa's agricultural products were of the
value of $3.50, 1000.
But, more than that, Gov. Boies now
says that the people Of Iowa are blessed
with more general prosperity than at
any previous time in their history; that
the agricultural lands of the state have
advanced In value; that an impetus has
been given to the upbuilding of cities
and towns, and that an era of prosper
1ty has come to the manufacturing and
mining industries.
1t Will strike an observing person that
Gov. BOles is very much of dema-
gogue. In his two campaigns for gov
ernor be was very bitter in the war he
waged against the Republican tariff law
He went up and down the state pro-
claiming that the people were bankrupt,
that agriculture was depressed beyond
everything ever before known, and that
no relief could come until the tariff
curse was removed. Now that he is in
Office, and there is no more use of dem
agogic speeches, he is honest enough to
give the truth, and it must bother the
Governor not little to confess that all

The Difference Between the Two Great
Political Parties.

It is good in politics as we'll as in
trade at times to take a rest, where one
can establish lookout. The reflection
is suggested in reading the inaugural of
Gov. Mckinley, of Ohio. There is a
manliness, an uprightness, fairness
and an mpartiality in his recommends
ton to the legislature to reapportion
the congressional and legislative dis
tricts of Ohio which is as much above
the petty, housing and thieving propo-
sitions of the Democratic leaders in this
state when in 1891 they passed their re-
apportionment law as the heaven is
above the church. Gov. Mckinley
memorably says:
Make the districts so fair in their relation
to the political divisions of our people that
they will stand until new census shall be
taken. Make them SO impartial that no
future legislature can disturb them until
new census and new congressional ap-
portionment will make change lmpera-
tive. Extreme partisanship in their ar
rangement should be avoided. There is a
sense of fair play among the. people which
is prompt to condemn a fragrant misuse OF

"When Lockwood in Erie County

finally raised his clarion voice for
Cleveland for President in the Demo
cratic national convention Of 1884, the
conventions to which he spoke ratified
the nomination he proposed. In every
instance Cleveland was elected. In
1888 another eloquent voice was raised
in the Democratic national convention
to advocate the denomination of Presi-

classic orator, Daniel Dougherty. Mas

a Raid from the South.

The Washington correspondent of
the st. Louis GlobeDemocrat, writing
on the 10th instant says: every
Southern Democrat is loaded up with
war claims. The like of it has been
seen in no previous Congress. In
three days Southerners have put in S47
bills for the bursement of their
constituents for damages of various
kinds sustained during the war This
looks AS if the Contederacy was in the
saddle and pushing things as the late
Maj. John \. Edwards once said
Throughout they have been, for ap-
pearance's sake, little more discreet.
But each Southern congressman seems
to have been afraid there wouldn't be
anything left in the treasury if he wait
ed. These bills are not presented open-
ly in the House. They are put into
box. The clerk distributes them to the
committees where they belong. The
box has been In use only three days,
and yet what has it produced? Here
are nearly 800 bills day coming
in to pay Southern people for
the rail fences burned and the other
losses sustained. One Southern mem
Der has already put in 106 bills of this
kind. He is Stone, of Kentucky.
Others have presented as many as fifty
and sixty apiece, and there is scarcely
one Southern Democrat who has not
put IN some. These bills are Of infinite
variety. Some of them are sweeping.

LONDON. Dec. 4.--Joseph Mellor has been
sentenced to death by a Manchester court
for having murdered his wife early in Sep
tember. He has written letter to the
effect that Lizzie Sunderland, a young un-
married woman, plotted the murder with
him in order that he might be free to
marry her. Miss Sunderland says. how
ever, that she did not even know that he
WAS maj ried. She says that she taxed him
with living with a woman. and he replied
that he knew he had been wild and had
lived with a woman. but he would never do
it again. They had made no preparations
for marriage, although" says Miss Sun
derland. II should have married him had
every rything gone on all right"
Mrs. Mellor disappeared early in Septem-
Der. and Mellor told inquiring neighbors
| that she had gone to see her sick mother.
His story was received with suspicion,
which grew as weeks passed and his wife
failed to return. On Oct. 18 woman
looked through the kitchen window of Mel
lor's house while Mellor was out, and saw a
hole in the kitchen floor. She called the
landlord, and he broke in the door. He
found the hole to be six feet long and three
feet deep, and partially filled with bloody
clothing. Under stairway he found Mrs.
Mellors body and blood-stainsd butcher
knife. Her wounds showed that she had
been stabbed in the month. breast and
stomach, that her windpipe had been cut,
and that her head had been beaten with a
club.
