NEEDED A MORAL ISSUE.
Ex-senator Palmer's Explanation of the
Republican Defeat.

OF the many "eEplanstLonsn of Republican
defeat which have been furnised, that Of
Prcsidcnt Palmer OF the Worlds Fair national
commlttee, has attracted wide attention. Mr.
Palmer urges that the party never had Il
chance 10 succeed aud that no leader could
have brought Il success. because it lacked a
moral issue. lie declares that most people
are tired Of the tariff aud the currency, and
that the party OF which he il such u conspieu-
Gus member will never succeed until it Sc
cures some great moral issue. 1t is believed
that the particular '.moral issue'' 10 which the
ex-senator refers Is prohibition. Four years
ago, while Mr.. Palmer was in the senate, he
took very prominent stand In favor OF pro-
hihitlon. 20 much 50 that some of his Repub-
lleaa associates in the senate feared that his
frankHess might cost the party some votes
But Senator Palmer could not be eoaxed
away from the advocacy of prohibition and
be asserted Il In public and In private.
Prior To the Republican national conven-
ton Of ISIS the Michigan senator used his in
dEence to secure an out-and-out prohibition
plank 10 the platform. In an address which
be made TO the SIX O'Clock Club Of Washing
ton he elaborated his view that the prohibit
tlon .'sgc was necessary In order TO give 4
vital moral Issue ia politics. The senator
gave up his pronounced advocacy of prohlbi-
tion only when the national convention flled
to give the subject any consideration

district school house at that place on the

and as consequence large quantity of ex-
plosiyes had been provided. portion of
these had been stored In the school house
During the speech making and while the
building was packed with men, women and
children, two kegs of powder exploded. The
result was frightful. The school house was
totally wrecked and most of the occupants
buried in the ruins.
Those who could exiricate themselves set
about at once TO extricate the others shrieks
and means came from the mass of wrecked
tmbers, and II WAS evident that the calamity
was terrible one. The debris took fire in
several places, and 1t took hard work to pre-
vent the cremation OF the persons who were
Imprisoned. The flames were subdued, how
ever, with only one person suffering from the
hames. A son and daughter of silas Graham
were taken out dead, and Berry Sherod, one
OF the most prominent residents of Washing
ton County, was badly injured that he has
since died Another man whose name has
not been learned was also killed.
Fifteen other people were injured, some
fatally, but their names have not been learned
Berry sherod suffered horrible agonies before
be was gotten out Of the ruins. He was

TOPICS OF INTEREST TO THE
FARMER.
The Practical Farm Cow--Shaliow
Culture for Corn--A Novel way
of Dehorning--uarR Fiocks
--Other Matters.
The Practical Farm Cow.

1t is all very well for the fancy farm
er, who makes his money in some 9th
er, callingto keepfancy COWS. He can
afford the extravagant care and lux
urious feeding required to keep them
going. But the average farmer has no
money to spare on fancies. What he
wants is profit on his investment.
Hence it is that the extraordinary
reports of the products ofthis or that
fancy COW make little impression on
his mind. He knows that he can't at
ford to maintain COW on the ration
required to secure such results, and o
he settles back on what he has, and
tries to do the best he can with the
common cattle to which he is accus-
toned.
This, however, is a mistake. 1t is
true he cannot support fancy cattle;
but neither can he afford to support
cows that do not yield fair return
for their keep. 1t is just as extrava-
CANT to keep a COW that nets a loss
every year through the poverty and
scantiness OF her milk product, as to
maintain one whose extravagant ra-
tion more than balances the richness
and quantity OF her milk.
But there is golden mean" Be-
tween these extremes stands the fine
thoroughbred or grade that on a good
but not eXtravagant ration yields a
large product OF rich milk, and whose
butter product is of the best quality
and goes far 10 the right side OF the
line between profit and loss.
A lively battle is raging betw en- the
advocates OF the various breeds OF
blooded cattle as to which is the best.
The cumbrously named Holstein-
triesian lifts up his voice in praise OF
his ponderous cattle, and the little
Jerseys spokesman is equally vocif-
erous in sounding forth the superior
excellences OF his favorite breed. The
handsome Devon hire, the medium
sized, motlerly Guernsey, the Polled
Angus, the black Kerry from the
"ould sod," and even the beef making
short-horn, which may also be bred
into mixer all have their boomers,
who claim some peculiar advantage
which the others haven't got.
This is rather bewildering. to be
sure. But the truth is, good
specimen OF any pure breed or grade,
properly cared for, will do better
service than a common COW, both in
the milk pail and the churn. The
farmers aim should be to get away
from the idea that a COW Is "A COW, no
matter what she yields. and that it is
impracticable to attempt securing
anything better than the common
stock.
There can be no doubt that good
average Jersey cow-and it must be
remembered that Jerseys vary in
quality like other breeds-cared for
as well MS any good animal should be,
will yield a good deal more money
than any common COW. For this
reason she is more practical farm
COW han the common kind. The
same is true of the Guernsey, or any
other OF lie approved milk breeds.
The practical farm COW is the one
that returns her keep and n neat
profit into her owners pockets. Com
paratively few common COWS do this;
man. pure bred or grade COWS do.

Shallow culture for Corn.

"Why d , farmers pay so little at
tention to the reports OF our Agricul-
tural Experiment Stations?" is
question ] am prompted to ask in
consequence OF my experience OF one
year in farming, and my observation
for several years, of farm methods in
my vicinit 7, says writer in the Farm,
Field and Stockman.
In select ing tools for the cultivation
of my first crop OF corn last spring, I
procured - Sattley spring-tooth culti-
vator and proceeded to cultivate my
corn one and one-half to two inches
deep, leaving the ground on 'laying
by" the crop, nearly level. Now there
is nothing new about this method to a
majority OF your readers, since it is
the method advised by all scientific
xperimenters in corn culture so far
IS know; however | was laughed at
by my neighbors, one Of
fering to loan me plow, another
rendering me few loads OF corn
to tide me over the season and
the work of my "seed tick killer" or
scratching machine" as they called
it. Not one OF them had ever tried
any other than the old method, al
though they were perfectly familiar
with reports of experiment stations,
but W re OF the opinion that those
fellows don't kn W how to raise corn"
The fact is, corn in our soils, es-
pecialy where tolerably new, will
stand considerable abuse and still
make fair crop, in any ordinary
season, but from my own experience,
l am convinced that the yield may be
greatly increased in any season, by
shallow, level culture:

profitable; for while it may not cost
anything to feed and care for it, there
is the loss in the money invested
which must decay or become obsolete
and totally valueIess. Some go to
an extreme and buy too much. while
Others fail in using as much machinery
as could really be made profitable
But great care must be taken and
every advantage begiven to get all OF
the benefit possible so that they can
be made profitable, and whenever an
implement cannot be used sufficiently
to be profitable, the sooner it is dis
posed OF the better, as it is not good

Christmas Holly,

The practice of decking churches with
the evergreen is very ancient, says Chat
terbox. On this account our pious fore
fathers gave it the name of ''holy tree"
of which our word holly is a corruption.
Duppa tells US THAT branches of this
tree were sent by the Romans to their
friends wi,h their New Years gifts as
emblematical of good wishes, and the
custom is said to be nearly as old as the
building of Rome itself" The holly
sometimes attains the height of forty
feet, and when of this large size the wood
is very valuable and is much used by
cabinet makers. 1t is white, hard, close
grained and takes a very fine polish.
When stained black it is an excellent
imitation of ebony. The long and
straight tough branches are often used
for whip handles and walking sticks.
The leaves of the holly near the ground
are frequently much more prickly than
those toward the top of the tree. This
circumstance forms the subject of a
poem by Southey, in which he says that
though in youth buffetings with the
world may call forth harshness, vet
a man ought to pray that unkind feel
lngs may daily wear away
Till the smooth temper of his age shall be
Like the high leaves upon the holly tree.
