The RACE QUESTION.
y May Lead to Fight in the League o.
American wheeimen.


just what the result OF the decision
on the race question in the League of
American Wheelmen win be cannot he
said. The rules committee. saws the
Chicago Evening Post. has pronounced
that all wheelmen, whether white.
black, yellow, green. blue or vcrmilion.
may join the league and be entitled TO
all the protection and privileges it
affords to its members. The color Tor
race) question has been an important
issue with the wheelmen. In the south.
Of course. it is the negro, that is
objected to. The southern members in
the south and northern members who
have come from the south all object to
the privileges of the league being con-
ferred on 1.-THE man and brother"
Some little poster was made about the
matter in Chicago in the Pullman
road race. However, the committee de-
cided to let the colored men enter and
none entered. There was, therefore, no
quarrel What might have occurred
had any colored wheelmen seen fit to
enter is not to be said.
Now, while the wheelmen in the
north and east Tor a number of them
object strongly TO the admission of the
Afro-Americans they are in no way
opposed to the admission of orientals,
Hindoos. Chinese, Japanese, Javanese,
Malays, wild men of Borneo, Dyalxs,
dog-faced boys from Russia, or bearded
ladies from Macassar or Madagascar.
All such, if wheelmen, are, in the eyes
of the northern and eastern men.
eligible for L. A. w. privileges.
But negroes, no. Now, the Cali
fornian and western members of the
league have no cause against the negro
wheelmen and care little how many of
them are admitted to membership in
the league. But they do object to the
Chinese. The wheelmen of the east
and the north have not only no objec-
tons to the Chinese cyclist, but rather
like him, as whole, for the reason,
perhaps, that there is not single spec
linen of the kind in the entire north or
east outside of one or two samples in
the eastern colleges This may account
for the generosity of the brethren in
this section of the country with regard
to the Chinese question.
In San Francisco and the west the
case is different. There are hundreds
of Chinese wheelmen in California and
the white members in that state have
perhaps a special knowledge about
them that determines the fierce OPPOSE
ton in vogue out on the coast TO the
admission of the Chinese to the league.
The rules committee of the league has
at once and forever settled the question
by throwing open the doors of the L. A.
w. to all sorts and conditions of human
ity when the point at issue is matter
concerning race. The action of the
rules committee has been backed up by
the executive committee, so that now
all races of men are eligible 20 member
ship in the league. How far this decis-
ion win figure in the question Of races
is another affair, but it will doubtless
have considerable influence.

Free Trade Would BE the Greatest Curse
That Could IBefalI America


That Could IBefalI America.
Democratic organs and campaign
demagogues, paid out of Golden club
corruption funds, are endeavoring to
convince the workingmen that they
would he as well off under free trade
as under protection policy. There are
hundreds and hundreds of thousands of
mechanics who have worked in the fac
tories of the free trade barons of Man
chester. Birmingham ard other great
English manufacturing centers. They
know how absurdly false those argu-
ments are.
Free trade would be the greatest
curse that could befall the workingmen
of America. The manufacturers could
accommodate themselves to the change
in short time-frst, by reducing wages,
and, second, by extending the hours of
labor All the unions of the workers
would be powerless to prevent these
two inevitable results. The working
men would of course bitterly resist the
reduction of the one and the extension
of the other. We should have long
strikes and, it is feared. violence. In
that event the free trade president
would be compelled to call out the
troops to preserve the peace against the
dlpes who voted for him.-New York
Recorder.

Sheep Notes.

Sheep must have clean, dry feet.
Keep the yards well Uttered with straw
Exercise is strictly necessary with the
ewes.
Keep the ewes we'll housed during
storms
Constitutional vigor should stand first
in merit.
1t Is almost impossible to induce sheep
to drink muddy water.
Feed enough to visibly increase the
growth Of flesh aud wool.
Better supply good drainage than allow
the yards to become muddy
Being familiar with the needs of sheep
Is an item in their management
In many cases weak, sickly lambs will
not pay for the trouble Of raising,
The number of times that sheep are fed
each day is not so important as the regu-
larity in supplying every day.
Better results will be secured from the
feed If the sheep have good yard in con-
nection with the sheds.
With sheep, as with nearly all other
classes Of stock, size alone is not all, as it
Is easily possible to have too large,
Sheep are the most timid of all ami
mails; and hence it is not a good plan to
compel them to eat with other stock
Especially where mutton is an item,
size of carcass should always be consid-
cred. Breed for sizo as well as wool
One objection to feeding the ewes too
much corn is that it increases the tendency
to milk fever, and often induces weakness
in the lambs
There should always be plenty of room
at the feeding racks or troughs or some
of the weaker animals will fail to secure
their supply,
There must be evenness Of quality to
make the best AMI most salable fleece,
and that cnn result only from evenness Of
management,
1t is very important to keep the feeding
and watering troughs clean, as the sheep
will not eat or drink in q filthy trough
unless starved to it

that is in fat lamb than it costs to make
weight afterwards, and the lamb will

horns Plymouth Rocks and Wyan-
dottes The main poultry house is
3S5 feet long and 20 feet wide. There
are also three smaller houses. So
well are the fowls cared for that fresh
eggs are generally abundant.


There Is q considerable difference
OF opinion among farmers as to the
best plan OF managing stock for day
or two before marketing. Some claim
that it is best to stuff them, feeding
anything and everything that they
will eat sailing heavily but giving
as little water until as short time as
possible before they are to be weighed
up to SELL and then giving all that
they will drink. Such stock will
shrink very heavily when shipped
even a short distance writes n. j.
Shepherd in the Practical Farmer, and
II even it will return the farmer a
little more it will be hard on the
shipper. Another plan that many
feeders have that ship their own stock
is to lessen the feed Tor day or two
before shipping and then feed all that
they will eat up clean at the last meal;
before loading to ship give but little
water, and especially il the stock is to
go but short distance, and then az
ter unloading in the yards water and
feed, always watering first and then
feed.
Grass stock shrink more in shipping
than those that have been finished for
market on grain. And when grass
stock are purchased and have been
stuffed, sailed and watered we'll before
selling, the shrinkage is often very
heavy and the shipper, knowing this,
tries in buying TO make calculations to
cover it and the farmer is really the
sufferer in the end, although many
consider it so much gained. Gener-
ally the average farmer that only &C.
casionally has full carload of stock
to sell or ship, will find it more profit
able to sell to the shippers rather
than to run the risk OF the mar
ket as the shipper must keep posted.
But many farmers who are large feed
ers find 1t more profitable to ship their
own stock when fully ready, and when
this Is the case it is always an item to
arrange so as to lessen the shrinkage
as much as possible; and it will pay
to take some pains in managing and
feeding, as in the end. whether ship
ped by the owner or sold to q shipper,
it is for the real interest OF the farmer
to have them lose as little as possible
in shipping.

Ducks are easier fed than chickens.
The hen ceases to lay when improperly
fed.
Young pullets do not make good
mothers.
Stock ducks should not be allowed to
get too fat,
1t is only in rare cases that it will pay
to keep hens over three years cd.
Rats are very fond of young ducks and
this is one trouble in raising them.
With poultry, as with other stock it is
always an item to breed to improve the
quality
Poultry fattenod on corn and celery has
q better flavor than when fed on almost
anything else
In feeding, scatter the feed SO that the
fowls will not eat too fast, especially the
little chickens.
With geese as with other kinds Of
fowls, the most profit is realized by keep
ing the better breeds
To secure the best results raising geese
it is necessary to have good pasturage
and plenty of water.

only hatch better, but the goslings will be
healthier and more vigorous,
Be kind to the fowls; they will apprs-
ciate it as fully as other stock, besides it
will help to keep them tame.
There is no more reason in doctoring
healthy fowls daily, than Of continually
dosing healthy, vigorous children.
A dozen selected hens mated with .

eggs needed for Matching for breeders
Some feeders claim TO secure better re-
suits by sprouting the grain before feed
ing especially when feeding to fatten.
A hard jar will nearly always destroy
the vitality of an egg, hence the necessity
of careful handling of those that are in
tended for Matching.
Even when the eggs are put under q
hen for Matching it will be best to exam
inc to see if they are fertile after they
have been set five or six days.

dered from the farm daily. Sometimes
the orders come with rush and must
be filed Immediately The farm hands
have then to leave their plows and

A Crow Conspiracy.

People who don't know the crow
may find difficulty in believing the fol-
lowinganecdote, though Anglo-Indians
will accept it without hesitation. A
dog OF my acquaintance tox-terrer
OF long Eastern experience-was one
morning eating chicken-bone on the
veranda, when two crows happened
to pass, and, observing the dog and
his bone, wheeled down and alighted
on the veranda railing, whence they
set to work croaking to induce him to
drop his breakfast. Under ordinary
circumstances an English dog will fly
at o crow the moment he appears;
but on this occasion Jack simply
looked up, powlcd and contin-
ued gnawing. Thecrows ceased croak-
ing, and consulted together for mo-
ment; then one Of the pair dropped
into the yeranda u few yards behind
the dog and croaked at him again;
once more receiving no answer but o
growl. After strolling casually round
the veranda for a minute, to let Jack
settle down, the bird hoped up ST.
lently and swiftly and gave the dogs
tail cruel nip. That was too much;
with q howl OF pain Jack turned upon
his tormentor, and crow No. 2, who
had been patiently awaiting this OPP
portunity, swooped down upon the
bone and carried it off. You never
saw dog wear look OF such abject
humiliation as did Jack when he rec
ognized how he had been fooled, The
Churchman.
