EFFECTS OF LEGISLATION ON AGRI-

One OF the many intelligent men Of Sedg-
wick county who resides in the Delano
township has sent me through the mails,
cuttings from several newspapers, advo-
eating free wool and other reforms which
it is claimed is necessary for the prosper
ity of the masses. The writer claims
that our manufacturers could not only
supply the home trade but could success

and England in the markets of the
world.
The only hindrsnce TO the large de-
mand for labor which would then be re-
quired IS that at present the American
farmer receives more than twice a.

Peacocks for n,.,,,-.

What roast swan is 10 roast goose, slch
is roast peacock 10 roast turkey Many
owners of country houses who keep pea
cocks and let them run wild and nest in
their woods and strawberries take little
trouble either to fatten or cook the pea
chicks. II they did, they would perhaps
take more pains to rear these birds for the
table The meat is very white and of ex
ceedingly fine and close grain and has the
true game favor, with none OF the stringi
ness of the common turkey. The American
wild turkey is, however, al even finer bird
for the table than the peacock.-London

There Is a detective insurance COM
pany IN Bucks county, Pa, that has had
remarkable history. 1t undertakes to
guarantee farmers against the loss OF
their stock through theft, and to this end
detectives are employed who follow in
the track Of lost horses and cattle. The
company has had but two animals TO pay
for IN seveAty-eight years. During that
time eight horses have been stolen up to
the last month. Ot these, all were re-
covered but two, and in addition five of
the thieves were captured and convicted.
The plan seems to be similar in its opera
tons TO the Anti-horse Thief ASSOCIATION
OF this state. whose record for recovering
lost property is as good as the Penusvl-
vania compaays,

HARNESS THE WIND.

The Scientific American says the use
of the power at Niagara Falls will make
great and splendid city there. Over
these plains south and west of the Mis-
souri, river a power equal to that of
Niagara is exerted by the winds on every
few square miles; and it is almost as
constant. The st. Joe Herald thinks
that since means of storing electricity
has been found, several wind mills
might be erected close together and each
one be made to contribute the force
created by it, into one common reservoir.
At certain elevations on the plains there
is hardly one day in the year when the
winds are not blowing.
One advantage in using this power ex-
lists in extensive regions over which it is
extended, instead of being confined to
simple point like Niagara. Perhaps this
power of the wind is the cheapest, most
extensive and reliable Of any other yet
tried by man. 1t is so cheap and univer-
sal that little attention is given to it.
Invention has done comparatively little
for the wind mills, alsO-for they can
be greatly improved. If ever the time
shall come when electrical power can
be transmitted without loss then 10
doubt these everlasting waves of air that
pour down from the far northwest in
winter and up from the southwest in
summer upon us in such immense vol
ume will be utilized TO the utmost ex-
tent. Here is power equal to the waste
of many millions of tons of coal per-
mitted to pass on over us unused every
day, with little thought as to what we
might do with it.

A recent instance of mans iphumani-
ty to woman is related in Maine. After
she had MIXED the cows, strained the
milk into thirteen stone crooks, carried
the crooks down into the cellar, skim
med the cream, washed the crooks and
put them on the fence palings to dry,
heated skim milk for the calves and car
ried it to the barn for them, got the
cream ready for churning, put her hus-
bands supper on the table, and then bur-
ried to take the crying baby, the farm
er's wife said that she was tired, and
asked her husband to buy her portable
creamery, in order to Tighten her labors.
The farmer replied that he couldn't af-
ford it, and the next day he went to
town and bought riding pillow, paying
for it with the butter money.

Ii was very generous of the Globe
Democrat to remind. and encourage by
the reminder, the Cleveland following
that the Democracy snubbed Tammany
in $40 and 1884 and carried New York
each time. The facts are that the only
victories won by the national Democ-
racy in thirty-five years were in the face
of slap at Tammany. And it now
looks like they are going to try it again
this year. The Democracy should bear
in mind the superstition that the Third
time is the charm. This may be Tam
many's turn.

Would Be Fair Play.

From the Newton Republican.
If the postoffice department will quit
printing envelopes at less than cost and
give printers chance at the job 1t will
be fair play to the printers and fair play
to the taxpayers of this country. Such
an act would only require the users OF
envelopes TO pay for what they get, in
stead of making each person in the
United States help TO reimburse Uncle
Sam for what he loses on the work,

Progress in ELECTRICITY.

street railway company is to abandon
horses and try the electric motor. The
electric cars in operation in Ottawa,
Canada, and Rochester, n. Y, have run
steadily in spite of heavy SHOWS this

union the people are availing themselves
of the wonderful advance in the appli-

to the comfort and convenience of man
