A SHAMELESS OUTRAGE.

The Plnn Adopted BY Rcpu blicans to steal
Ohio.
The republican party Ii Ohio has de-
ternined t. pcrpctrate the grossest out
rage upon popular representation CON
ccved in years. The two great parties
are Of almost equal strength in the state
as shown by the fact that for years
Ohio has been represented in the United
States senate by democrat and re.
publican, and democrats and republic
ans have alternatcd as q rule in the
chair Of the governor. The state is en-
titled to twenty-onc members Of con.
gress, and on fair apportionment the
democrats are entitled 10 ten. or ut least
nine. In the tidal wave of 1890 they car
ricd fourteen districts. The republic
ans now propose to gerrymander the
state so that only five districts shall be
democratic while sixteen shall be
republican. To carry out this fraud il
has been necessary to ignore population
as basis Of approximation. and some
of the democratic districts have doubled
the population Of republican districts.
The wrong is done not to the demo
Gratis Of Ohio alone but to the democracy
of the entire country by this iniquity
the democratic party IS robbed Of four
members in the next house Of repre-
sentatives by method as shameless as

NATURAL HOG FODDER.

The natural food for hogs in the wild
state is grass, the masts of the forest,
roots and bulbs of plants. The necessity
for this character of food is we'll recog-
nized by nature in providing the hog
with rooter for the purpose of obtain
ing it. Even after generations of do
mesticatlon, with an ample supply of sus-
tenance to satisfy all demands, this pro.
clivity or desire to root, independent of
necessity, remains as a permanent char
teristlc. Farmers who have practiced
from this pointer and during the winter
months have at stated intervals of at least
twice a week given one feed of potatoes,
beets, artichokes or turnips, have found
that the hogs not only relish them but
derive great benefit from them. They
are conducive to perfect condition of
the system, stimulating the action of the
various organs in the performance OF
their functions. They aid in digestion
and assimilation of the more solid food.
Brood COWS are especially benefited by
liberal supply of root diet while preg-
nant, as we'll as their young. Indeed it
is almost compulsory to insure strong,
healthy pigs and natural farrow.- New
York Herald.

and one day, when the surgeon was
turning sorrowfully away from an OBJ
stinate patient, who could be saved only
by an operation, she approached and
added her own entreaties.
Still the soldier reiterated that if his

taken for mendicant, like the wretched
outcasts of the Carpathians.

but now supplicate you to listen to his

TIE BIB AND TUCKER.

The fashionable woman is bestowing
considerable attention these days upon
her best bib and tucker. 1t is marvellous
what vanity is to be found in these soft,
fluffy fronts which are worn with every
conceivable costume. The long bibs are
made of lace. chiffon or mousseIine de
sole of every hue. Daffodil, pale blue,
bright scarlet and white bibs are greatly
sought. They are worn with the most
masculine of double breasted coats,
Elton jackets aud other mannish gar
ments, and, by some strange whim of
fashion, do not detract from the con.
ventionally severe type, but lend it a
dainty and feminine charm. An effec-
tive bodice is of the directoire cut, very
short, tight-fitting in front, with short
habit effect in the back. The abrupt
finish of the bodice across the front is
not becoming save to slim figures. But
here again comes in the wisdom of the
bib and tucker, and the loose, silken
front relieves the severity in welcome
manner. Surahs, glaces and foulards
will be generally used for blouse fronts.
They are tucked, finished with frills fall
ing in cascades, and, under the iaunty
blazer, give the desired effect of an in
finite variety of silk waists.-Once-A-

TRAINING THE TOMATO PLANT,

Many tomato growers permit the
plants to trail on the ground, and think
the heat of the soil has some effect in
Fastening the ripening, and no doubt
with reason. But this is not desirable in
aprlvate garden, although it is the least
expensive and laborious way of growing
the fruit. The plants may be trained to
stakes and kept pruned of all struggling
branches, the stems being tied to the
stakes. Very fine fruit is grown in this
way. Another way to make a horizontal
trellis. two feet above the ground, on
which the stems may trail, and the fruit
II this way gets the benefit of the re-
Elected heat, which hastens the ripening.
The French vine growers have in some
cases adopted this same method of train
ing the vines. But for the garden the
neatest and most satisfactory way will
probably be the siDgle-stake method.
When thus trained the plants will grow
eight or ten feet high. They may also
be trained to the side of a building

SIMPLE STYLE AT vAssAR.

Dress and missionaries have been given
as the two objects upon which women
feel justified in spending money, but
dress at Vassar College, Poughkeepsle,
N. Y, is of the simplest. Occasionally

SO one or two surnises may safely be
made: Either she is freshman furn-
ished by an anxious mother with variety
of unsuitable garments, or she is an up

are the customary wear, and long before
the eve of comfortable dressing set in
elsewhere college girls were in the full
enjoyment of simple and rational cos
tune. On feast days and leisure even
ings there is futter of pretty
dresses, but they are simple gowns to be-
gin with, and they are made to do ser
vice.

PEAS AND PEA MEAL FOR COWS.

Pea meal is an excellent feed for milcn
cows, pigs, and calves, but being much
richer than ordinary bran and shorts, or
middlings, it must be fed with caution
at first or until the COW or other animal
becomes accustomed to it. The best way
to use peas for COWS is to grind about
equal parts of oats, peas, and corn. Bar
ley may be substituted for the oats or
corn, or if the peas are ground separate
add two bushels of bran or middlings to
each bushel of the pea meal, and mix
thoroughly. The peas should be ground
as soon as they are dry enough in early
fall or winter, in order to destroy the
grubs ofthe pea weevil, which are usually
present in peas raised anywhere in the
United States and in some Tarts of
Canada. Before this insect became so
abundant as at present, many of the far
mers of our Northern States raised large
quantities of field peas for feeding their
hogs during the summer and early fall,
before they were shut up to fatten. 1t
was claimed that peas promoted growth
better than corn, and after the animal
reached the proper size corn was given
to increase the quantity and quality of
the flesh or fat. The flesh of swine fat
tened wholly on peas is far more delicate
and better favored than that from corn
fed animals, but it is not so firm and
hard, requiring more care in curing
