pIgFsTIBlLITY OF FISH.


The red blooded fish, such, for in.
stance, as salmon, herring aud msckerel,
are highly nutritious but not EASILY
digested, partly because of the amount
of fat distributed through the flesh.
White fish, such as cod, hsddock, tur.
bot, halibut, and founder, contain com
paratively little fat, and that mostly in
the liver. They are easy of digestion
and possess a delicate flavor. When in
season and just from their native element
they are delicious and make excellent
food for the sick on account of this ease
of digestion.
When Fish Are in Season-Cod, all the
year; haddock, all the year; cusk, win.
ter; hahbut, all the year; founders, all
the year; salmon, May to September; /;
shad, spring; blueash, June to October;
whitefish, winter; swordfish, July to
September; smelts, September to March I;
perch, spring and summer; mackerel,
April to October; oysters, September to
May clans, all the year.
How to Broil Fish Small fish such as
perch and scrod young cody are excel.
lent broiled After the fish is cleaned,
washed and wiped, split it lengthwise
if it is thick, sprinkle on salt and pep
per, squeeze over it some drops of lemon
Juice, dip it in melted butter aud broil
over clear Goals, quickly at first and then
very slowly, allowing ten minutes for
each inch of thickness. Serve with but
ter cream.
To Make Butter Cream-Cream some
butter in bowl, season it with salt,
cayenne, lemon juice and vinegar. A
teasponful of butter is enough for an
ordinary small fish such as a perch, aud
to season it speck of cayenne, a speck
of salt and half teaspoonful each OF
vinegar and lemon juice will be good
proportions. Spread it on the fish tc
melt aud run over it or serve separately
in little ball on a glass butter plate. A
nice addition to the butter is q little
finely minced parsley or chopped pickles,
such as cucumbers or olives, or the three
mixed if they are at hand.
Creamed Fish-To make creamed fish,
any white fish which flakes easily may
be used. Cusk, cod and haddock are
especially recommended. Cook the fish
fifteen or twenty minutes by gentle boil
ing, then remove the flesh carefully frou
the bones, letting it separate lightly into
flakes; season with pepper and salt ant
few drops Of lemon juice. For every
pint of prepared fish make a rich cream
sauce with four tablespoons of butter
two of flour aud pint of rich milk il
which a small slice of onion has beer
boiled. Pour it over the seasoned fish
rolling all together gently, so that the
flakes may not be broken. Arrange on
platter, sprinkle the top with butteret
crumbs and bake in hot oven twenty OIL
thirty minutes. A speck of cayenne is q
good addition to make to the sauce. Thi
is a delicious and wholesome way oI
cooking fish for the sick. The butter il
so thoroughly incorporated with the
flour of the sauce that it becomes one o.
the few very easily digested forms o.
cooked fat.-Chicago News.

Peafowl are not only ornamental, but
excellent for the table. A writer in the
Fancier's Monthly says concerning them
They are slow in reaching maturity, aud
the hen seldom lays before she is two
years old. The chicks, however, grow
very rapidly at first, but as they begin
to feather almost at the start of life they
require frequent feeding or they will
perish. They soon begin to fly, and
roost on the highest positions they can
find. The hens lay from ten to twenty
eggs, according to age and treatment.
The young chicks should be fed the
same as young turkeys, but meat, finely
chopped, should be given three times a
week after the first week. The male is
a quarrelsome bird in the barn yard, and
often makes short work of young chicks.
They are more ornamental than profit
able, though the tail feathers may be
pulled for sale as soon as the moulting
season begins.

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

1t is better to pruue in the fall than in
the sprng.
Pears should never be allowed to be-
come eatable on the trees.
There is no need of sending select fruit
to market if it is not carefully packed.
The fowls kept for breeding should be
the best of the whole flock, carefully
selected.
1t will never do any harm to cut off
the dead wood or crossing limb of a
fruit tree.
After pear trees have arrived at the
bearing age, there should be but very
little trimming done.
Hay and fruit cannot be very we'll
grown on the same land, and especially
is this true in the case with apples.
1t is better to prevent the growth that
you do not want than it is to wait until
the wood is made and then cut 1t off.
Cochins, Brahmas, Wyandottes, Leg
horns and Dominiques all have yellow
legs, winch is an advantage in market
| fowl.
Late Matched pullets should be
pushed to maturity. Unless well ma
/ lured before cold weather pullets will
not lay until spring.
Turkeys are in their glory now, and
they secure plenty of insects while forag'
ing. The farmer cannot realize the
! good they do in this way.
1t very frequently happens that eggs
are soiled when collected. Wash then
before marketing, and the chances are
that a better price will be obtained.
Good butter will always bring gooC
piice. If farmers would only think oi
quality instead of quantity, they would
be able to make more profit from tn
COWS.
After the moulting season begin
prices are generally low, for the reasol
that the hens quit laying and are sent Il
market on this account. Often by wait
ing until the rush is over better price
may be realized.
The cultivation Of a crop of beets
not difficult after the plants get a goo
start. The most critical period is whe
the seed is terminating and the plant
very small, as the weeds and grass ma
take possession, but with extra care an

BAD FLAvoRs IN BUTTER.

If you want the cows to yield perfect
favored milk do not let them eat leeks,
fungus growths, or any noxious vegeta-
tions. This implies that you must have
a clean pasture, which should be part
and parcel of every dairy farm.
Some COWS develop morbid appetite,
generally those that are i'll fed, and they
will eat with avidity refuse and foul
growths that have a most deleterious
effect on the quality of the milk. We
have known cows to give tainted milk
day after day of so rank character that
aeration had but little effect upon the
odor, and the butter made theretrom
was practically uneatable. Continued
investigation for a long time failed to
reveal the cause, until it was at last dis
covered that some of the cows had been
eating poisonous varieties of mush-
rooms, commonly known as "toad
stools" which grew abundantly about
some old decayed stumps in the pasture.
As soon as the cause was removed the
milk resumed its normal character.
1t amounts to one and the same thing
10 give unhealthy 1000 10 mllch COWS, or
to place it in a modified form on your
table for your family's use. Bad food
given to COW in milk will surely i'm.
press its bad character upon her lacteal
secretion. Damaged food turned into
beef may not be so quickly and thor,
oughly transmitted to the human
stomach as in the case of milk, for the
slower process of nutrition in the animal
tissues gives time for considerable OF de,
leterious matter to be eliminated by the
processes of nature before the meat be-
comes human food.
With milk the case is practically o
the same character as the feed. An after
aeration of the fluid cannot expel disease
germs and microbes absorbed from al
unhealthy appetite. Prevention is tn
only cure for bad flavor and worse re
suits, in milk affected in the way de,
scribed American Dairyman.

pREPARING LAND FnR WHEAT.

After plowing thoroughly it is very
important to have land intended to be
sown to fall wheat that 1t be prepared in
as good condition as possible. The soil
to the depth of three or four inches
should be IN fine tilth as a seed bed for
the wheat, and underneath this the bed
should be reasonably solid. The kind
of implement needed to properly fit the
soil for the seed must be largely deter
mined by the character of the soil and
its conditions. When carly, and it is in
a proper state, a good smoothing har-
row is all that will be needed to properly
fine it. Afterwards, however, before the
plowing can be done the soil gets hard
and may break up in hard Jumps, and
the drag may be used to properly level
and fine. Again, hard, beating rain;
after blowing will often run the soil to.
gether, and the hot sun will cause it tC
bake, and in this condition, in the ma.
jorlty of cases, it be best to use the disc
harrow.
What will be best at one time or il
one kind of soil will not be the most
economical under other conditions aud,
for this reason, the character of the soi
and the kind of work to be done mus
always be considered. The one i'm
portant item is to be sure of working
enough, aad then to use the implemen
that will do the work most thoroughly
and economically. With nearly all va
rieties of seeds, the more thorough tn,
preparation of the soil, the better and
thriftier the termination of the seed
and the better the start to grow of thu
plants. Prairie Farmer.

A rainy or drouthy spell will alarm
some men and drive away their good
judgment, and they will plant or SOW or
harvest before the proper time. Grain
cut too early may mold. Hay cat too
early is less in quantity. Ground plowed

WINE AND BEER INCREASE.

According TO Government statistical alb
stract, there has been small per capita de-
cline in the consumption of distilled liquors
In this country since 1875. In 1876, when
the population was about 42, 000, 900, the ag.
gregate consumption of distilled liquors was
Sc 100, 1855 gailons in 1891, with population
OF "a, 600, 900, the aggregate was 91, 157, 565
gallons; per capita consumption of 1.50 in
1875. and of LAP gallons in 1891. The peT
capita consumption of wine and beer, ac.
cording to the same authority has in the
same period largely increased. In 1875 the
wine consumption was I2, 954, ,961 gallons; in
1890, 29, 600, 600 gallons, of which "a, 900, 00O
gallons were of domestic manufacture. The
beer increase is still more striking. In 1875
the beer aggretate was 294, 953 l57 gallons;
in 1891 it was 977, 479, 76l gallons; per cap
ita consumption of malt liquors in 1876 of

date in the. coming campaign is an indi-
rect but no less effective vote for the
Democratic party.
The only hope of third party is 10
defeat Harrison. 1t can make no pre-
tense TO the hope of succeeding itself
1t can assist in electing Democrat by
throwing the election into the House and
this it will proceed to do under the guise
OF hating both parties so bad that it will
support neither. OF course in this great
and glorious country every man has the
right TO vote for anybody or for nobody
as he pleases. But when person comes
forward under the pretense of doing a
work for reform and advises his neigh
bors to vote for the Alliance party, or
the Labor party, or the Temperance
party, or the Peoples party, on the plea
that the two national parties are not
worthy of his support, just mark him
down as a brevet Democrat. He will
be doing more for the success of that
party then if he stood square up on his
hind legs and voted the straight ticket,
and no disguise should be allowed to
conceal his real attitude or purpose If he
proceeds to do this when the consequent
ces are placed plainly before him.

We Wclcomc The Issue.

The first section, first paragraph, of
the Democratic national platform re
atlirms the principles of the party as
formulated by Jefferson and exemplifed
by the long and illustrious line OF his
SUCCESSORS in Democratic leadership
from Madison to Cleveland. And then
it proceeds in its tariff plank to repudiate
the cardinal principles of the great
statesmen whose names it invokes. To
be honest the p form should have de-
clare1 Nv lille we cherish the memory
and honor the succe IS OF the great DEM
ocrats, jefferson, Madison, AMI Jackson,
TO whose careers we point with pride, we
nevertheless deplore their steadfast adj
vocacy of protection to American labor
and industry, that pernicious and unjust
America system which we promise to
repeal as soon as we are intlu sted with
power.
The Democratic tariff plank declaring
Internationally for the abolition of the
entire protective system is not only in
principle and effect but in language
identically the froe-trade declaration OF
the Southern Confederacy. Van Buren,
had been beaten by William Henry
Harrison on like platform in 1910, and
Polk, the true apostle of Democratic
free trade, again brought defeat upon
his party in 1913. From 1910 TO 1872
the party has invented no new platform
except when hard times under free trade
OF the Democratic kind or good times
under protection of the Republican kind
made it expedient TO adopt meaning
less platform and straddle the question.
This was done in 1876 and i'm 1884
This year the Democratic party has
the courage of the convictions derived
half century ago from the slave oil
garchy of the South, which, employing
the cheapest slave labor in agricultural
pursuits, wished to buy the manufact-
ures of the cheapest pauper labor of
Europe. A protective tariff meant then,
as il means now, diversified industries,
high wages, and free labor. Whenever
the Democratic party has fearlessly
enunclated its faith in free trade IL has
been badly beaten at the polls. When
ever it has evaded the issue it has some-
times succeeded. 1t has made victory
surcr for the Republicans in 1892 by de-
elaring its true faith, and Republicans

hearing on this question and got it. He
referred To the treatment accorded the
delegates TO other conventions, and
brought the convhntion TO its feet with
a wild cheer when he reached his pero-
ration. Dean of New York grasped the
matter. There was an interstate COM
mission, and he moved that it be brought
before that organization TO see whether
the law permitted railroads to dscrim-
mate i'm favor of one national political
convention against another. The mo-
tion TO make complaint to the commits
sion was carried.
The Committee on Resolutions was
still wrestling with the platform, and
on a statement that it would be two
hours before it could report a recess
until p. m. was taken.
1t was 2:O7 O'Clock when Chairman
Loucks called the convention to order,
but it was after p. m. before all the
delegates and visitors had secured seats
and the raps of the Chairman had re-
suited in beginning of business. The
immense hall was almost completely
filled. 1t was very sultry and fully a
third OF the delegates were in shirt
sleeves.
The first business was the adoption of
motion that the Resolutions Commit
tee report. The committee filed on the
stage with platform. Thomas V. Gator
of California read the preamble of the
unanimous report of the Resolutions
Committee on the platform adopted.
Gator moved the adoption OF the pream-
BILE, and it was adopted by unanimous
uprising OF delegates and tumultuous
applause. At once on the adoption of
the platform the convention broke
over all restraint and went wild.
The whole convention, audience
and delegates, rose TO their feet with
stirring enthusiasm in a demonstration
lasting twenty minutes. It began by
the convention rising in their chairs,
cheering, swinging coats, WHICH had
been taken OF on account OF the heat,
waving hats and fans, and throwing
things in the air. Several delegates
seized Branch, of Georgia, Chairman,
and trotted him up and down the main
aisle on their shoulders. A number of
delegates seized the uprights used to
hold placards designating State delega-
tions, and rushed with them TO the plat
form. Banners were also borne there.
Shout succeeded shout, while eccentric
devices were used to prolong the dem
onstration.
Suddenly Taubeneck Of Illinois sprang
upon chair and wildly waved tele-
gram above his head. It dawned upon
the delegates that it might be from
Gresham and an uproar ensued. The
telegram was from DIR. Hauser of Indi-
ana and was TO the effect that Gresham
would accept II nominated unanimously,
The effect OF this telegram was cleo
trical. Thousands Of people sprang in

The Only Danger.

There is one danger that menaces the
Republican ticket, and that Is the third
party vote. In no other way can Har-
rison and Reid be defeated. The
shrewd Democrats are already advised
OF this and are encouraging fusion OF
the Democratic and third party tickets
in every Republican State. The hope
is to throw the election into the Demo-
cratic House, which would of course
elect Democrat, though not neces-
sarily Cleveland.
The Constitution, article II, provides
that "The person having the greatest
number of (electoral) votes for Presi-
dent shall be President, il such number
be majority of the whole number OF
electors appointed, and if no person
have such majority. then from the per-
sons having the highest number not ex-
ceeding three. on the list of those voted
Sor, as President, the House OF Repre-
sentatives shall choose Immediately by
ballot the President.
In an election by the House each
State has one vote. If at the close Of
the campaign it shall be found that
there has been no choice, the electors
from the Democratic States might cast
certain number of votes for Hill, for
Illustration, thus giving him chance
to be voted for in the House, when that
body proceeded to select President
from one of the three persons having
the largest number Of votes.
Suppose, for example, that the Repub-
licans should have 200 votes, the Demo-
Gratis 1SO, and the third party 81. The
Democratic vote could be cast equally
for Cleveland and Hill in the electoral
college and thus bring them both before
the House as two OF the persons out of
the three, having the highest number of
votes from whom a selection is TO be
made. 1t has come to be an unwritten
law that electors shall cast their vote for
their party's candidate, but there is no
compulsion about it and with Hill to
manipulate them under such circum-
stances there is no telling where the
election would go.
The poinS TO emphasize, however, is
that every vote cast for a third candi-
