The change in the democratic plan ne.
cessitates their admis sion first of all that
| the Mckinley bill is not as bad as they
| pictured it last year when they lied about
Mckinley prices and created a political
panic OF which the present democratic
majority of $50 in the national house was
the result They declared then that demo-
| Gratis would repeal that measure at the
earliest opportunity afforded them, be-
cause II was iniquitous and ruinOus. Now
they say that their cries OF last year were
IA good enough Morgan until after cleo
ton, and that the Mckinley bill will be
fair sort of measure when patched
up little by the democratic party.
1t is true of history in this country that
when the business men, the educational
instructors and the religious teachers of
the country stand together on any great
principle or policy of government they
sweep everything before them. They rare
y combine to hurt themselves, but when
the mighty moral force of snch copbi-
nation comes into effect there is nothing
that can stay its triumphant success. In
the dark hours of the rebellion, when a.
pathy had permitted the copperheads of the
north TO win succe sses in some OF the state
elections, the mighty forces of busin, s.
interest, educational power and religious
betterment came together and swept
the country like whirlwind. They de
nanded hat well enough should be let
alone, and they stood by the flag and
wall.

Egg Eaters.

Here is the best remedy that we know
of: Kill every old hen that you find at
the business, right away! Then replace
her by pullet, young and honest. Pro
cure some artificial eggs; wooden eggs
are the cheapest and most durable. These
will neither freeze nor spoil Be sure and
gather all the fresh-Iaid eggs every day.
Give your fowls meat. well boiled, bones
and all (break the bones) season it we'll and
have no more trouble in this line. Some
recommend filing eggs with pepper of
aloes, but it won't do the business N 9TH
ing but death to the hen, and more care
on your part in future will keep you free
from the trouble.

Much has been written with reference
to healthful methods of living The farm
er has been warned against too free use
of the pork barrel over and over again,
and while it seems to be true that our
pork-eaters are as healthy and long-Iived
as our beef-eaters are, it is nevertheless
true that steady pork diet is not the
best diet. If we were to be asked to lay
down general rules for healthful methods
Of living on farm we saould say: First,
a good comfortable house with large airy
rooms; strict regard for cleanliness
about the premises, that is, that all decay.
ing matter should be scrupulousy removed
from any location near the house; good
drainage; frequent bathing; as much
labor saving IN al departments in the
mouse and ont Of il rs possible; and va.
riety of foods. TIE chicken is frequently
drafted for the farm table, perhaps too
frequently, for fowl is hard to digest

which the farmer can supply himself with

FARM NOTES.

The av rage COW yields about $50 gal
ions of milk year.
The foreign outlook for American meat:
is better than it has been for years and is
increasing right along.
To prepare pullets for laying during
the winter let them have plenty of exer.
else, give all they will eat, especially OF
oats, and keep them growing.
Appearance is an important factor in
marketing eggs al this time 1t is not
only important that they should be fresh.
but also that they should be clean and
tree from dark spots.
Experiments have been made upon the
effects OF giving cows hot water to drink
instead of cold The results are salts
factory. 1t mas been prov that when the
COWS drink water at ii tenn p.rature Of 45
degrees (cen.igrade) they yield one-third
more of milk than when they drink cold
water.

At one of the New York Farmers Insti
tutes. the question As cornmeal proper
food for young calves? ?" was answered as
follows:
No; cornmeal is too carbonaceous and
produces too much fat. Sell the corn anC
buy ultrogenous foods-hnseed meal, cot
ton-seed meal and wheat bran, which feed
with sweet milk and nice clover hay
to the young calf Do not feed more than
teaspoonful of linseed meal at first,
which increases as the calf grows older
One great trouble with raising calves
comes from overfeeding. One four OF
Ave days old should not be given more
than three quarts of milk at time, which
increases from day to day
