How is Thisf - 81
There must be something wreng In the
reform rank.. 1t does not seem to be all
harmonious. On the Tillman-Irby black
list, VIC fud the names of d. +. Perry, the |
great Tillman-Irhy sditersofs The 0reenyille
Dem0crd, NJ. L. Donaldson, PresidAht Of |
the State Alliance. and n. w. fIssri., rs-
form deleg to TO the Chicago convention. |
What crimes those gentlemen have COM
mitted against the "dominant element OF
the party, we are at loss to discover,
unless it be that they stand iu tho way Of
the rings plans for the distribution of Offices,
both Federal and State.
We can only surmise why Perry was
black listed. Senator Butler has endorsed
him for Revenue Collector, and, of course, it
would be base irgratitude if Perry did not
support Butler for the Senate.
But what has the President of The Far
mers' Alliance done? We have heard Of his
being candidate for the Senate also, and
spoken of for Governor. Will he Interfere
with the rings slate, in running for either
of these positions? Very likely; for it is
we'll understood that other men have been
chosen by the Columbia ring for those posi-
tions.
But what, in the name of modern reform,
; has Congressman Shol, done, TO call forth
such bla.phomy and ungen,lemanly denun
citation as the following dispatch reports tha,
Irby applied to him:

The COW stops fretting and does much bet
ter. There has always been much dlffer-
ence of opinion as to how soon COW $
milk ought to be used after the birth OF
calf. Great was my surprise to hear that
after the seventh milking the milk
was considered as good as it would be in
seven weeks. Surely the world is progress
ing and old ideas exploded asked my
self the question, what won't science dor
even alter the milk of cow.
One of the most interesting features OF
the dairy department of Experiment is
that any one visiting to learn dairylng can
SO there and get all the instructions free,
the only expense being their board Every
instruction is given, butter and cheese max
ing and everything pertaining to cows. l

Affirmative she cane ana went " work 10

cry desire to learn. She MIXED the cows,
made cheese and butter and spent a month
deroting her whole time to the work, GO
ing away fully convinced that there was
considerable profit in dairying.

machine used ana had explained to me
how the cows head was confined, and in
a minute the operation IS over. With a
sharp saw the horns are removed. This is
done as the cows sometimes fight and
worry each other AMI after their horns are
removed the most fractions COW becomes
more quiet and easily managed. In calves
caustic is applied when the calf is only a
few days old and the little stub that would
be horn is treated, and it never natures
