COMPROMISE TALK.
The Black burn Amendn lent May BE
Accepted by Repeal Men.

The Blackburn Amendment May Re
Accepted by Repeal Men.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 1.-THE state
ment is repeated, with details, that a
compromise on the silver bill is within
sight, and that it has been ascertained
that in case unconditional repeal should
be found impossible, reasonable assur-
ances have been obtained that the pres
ident might give his approval to a
measure of the kind now indicated.
The impression is that the compromise
will be in the line of the Blackburn
amendment, which Democrats say
avoids the necessity of issuing bonds,
but maintains the parity between the
two metals by setting the seignorage
for gold and depositing the gold in the
treasury. In this way, it is claimed,
the differ ence between silver and gold
will be supported by the gold itself.
Opinions as to the probable. length of
the continuous session vary, the ma
jority agreeing, however, that AZ hours
will see an end of the struggle.

Chemical DehOrner.

DR.. Salmon, the head of the United
States government bureau Of animal in
dustry, gives this as the chemical de-
homer" used in his experiments: A mix
ture is prepared by taking so parts of
caustic soda, 25 parts of kerosene oil and
Is parts of water. An emulsion is made
of the kerosene oil and soda by heating
and vigorously stirring, and this is then
dissolved in water. The mixture is then
placed in 8 bottle with solid rubber
cork. This cork is to rub the mixture
In when q few drops are applied! to the
end of thecoming horn of the calf, which
should not be more than three weeks
old. It is strong stuff and should be
carefully confined to these points.

Oyerheated Horses.

Overheated Horses.
We have said that horses should have
frequent drinks of cold water when
working hard in the haytelds. It has
also been advised in these columns that
the polls of the horses should be shaded
and kept wet by means Of sponges, says
The Farmers Review. These precau-
tons will do much to prevent overhead
ing, but it may be well to give some ad-
vice as to what should be done should a
horse ''give out" during the busy sea-
son. The symptoms of this trouble are
probably we'll known to most of our read
ers. The sweat suddenly dries, the horse
stops or staggers, and if forced to con-
tinue working commences to pant and
blow, with every other evidence Of dis
tress plainly noticeable The TANKS rise
and fall as seen in horse with heaves,
and unless something is done speedily
the poor animal will go down and in
many cases die. The horse should be
embarrassed whenever there is the slight
est symptom of overheating. Take him
to a cool. shady place where the air is

such as alcohol ounces Tor whisky
ounces). nitrous ether 8 ounces, water
a pint, at one dose. At the same time
he should lie sponged all over with cold
water and have cold water dashed on
his head continuously. If very bad, it
win be we'll to rig up barrel on high
shelf, then put faucet in it, to which
attach a piece of hose pipe. Tie the lat
ter to the bride, then fill the barrel with
water, turn the faucet and allow the Wa
ter to run il a steady stream upon the
horses head. The water should be kept
running for hours until the animal has
regained strength, which in some cases
is not for day or more. Where there
is supply of ice at hand this will be
found OF great service. Break it up fine,
place it in sack and keep this ice poul-
tice on the back of the horses head until
he is we'll. For q few days afterward
give dram of inter in each gallon OF
drinking water.

Mixed Live Stock.

have for the last eight or ten years
raised from SO to so hogs each year
and some years as many as 100. sell
them in November when they are 7
months old. They should then weigh
$50 pounds and upward, though there
are some in a litter that will not fatten
as well as their mates. There should be
great care in not feeding the pigs too
much dry corn when they are young. l
generally turn them into a pasture of
clover as soon as they will follow their
mother, and by the first Of September
can feed them all they will eat. I al
ways sell my hogs alive. I estimate the
cost of fattening each hog at 8 months
old as follows: Sixteen bushels of corn
at 40 cents per bushel, $6.40; ground
feed, 81, making $40. do not reckon
the milk that I feed them or the time
for taking care Of them. My hogs when
sold average $50 pounds. I sold them
for $3.50 per 100 pounds, making $16.25;
deduct cost. leaves 1856 profit per hog.
But made one mistake. ought to
have fed more ground feed the first three
months and less dry corn. The result
then would have been 300 pound hog
and $40 profit. I have no running water
on my farm, but have windmill and
large tank for my stock, which keep
full most of the time, and have it so ar
ranged that water runs over for my hogs.
It is very essential that hogs should have
water that they can go to it at any time
during the day, also having place to wal
low in. But I would advise my brother
farmers not to go into hogs alone. Havea
mixed crop, such as wheat, oats, corn
and cattle and q number Of good COWS,
hogs, sheep and bees, and be sure and not
forget the poultry.-C. G. Andrews in

CESSATION OF the Marc.

AS matter Of fact, mares vary great
deal in this particular, but they are much
more likely to go over than under II
months, and $40 days may safely be
taken as the average period. Eleven
months and one week, in round num-
bers, would be easily computed and is
very nearly correct. But there are many,
very many, cases where the period of
CESSATION is well on to 12 months.
In view of this uncertainty, or rather
irreyularity, mares ought to be watched
carefully as they approach the II months
period, so that the mare may have a rca-
sonably good chance of saving the foal.
The signs Of approaching parturition
are not easily mistaken by an expert
enced observer. The filling up of the
udder cannot DO depended upon, but the
filling up Of the teats clear to the very
tips, and the dropping off of the little
mass of wax or gum that usually forms
on the ends Of the teats week or more
before foaling is good indication that
parturition is near at hand. Another al
most infallible indication is the falling
or shrinking away Of the muscles on the
top of the buttocks at a point near the
center Of O line from the root of the tail
to the point Of the hip bone.
By all means don't permit the mare to
be kept tied up by the head in her stall
when you have reason to think her time
is near at hand. 1.-THE weather is at all
favorable, let her have good, large lot.
If this from any cause is not practical
BILE, let her have large box stall, from
which everything must be removed that
would be liable to entangle or injure the
foal in it's efforts to get up, and be care
full to see that there are no holes under
the Manager or elsewhere into which the
foal may force itself. 1t is decidedly
better to allow the mare to occupy the
stall or lot in which she is to foal week
or so beforehand, SO that she may be-
come accustomed to it. They are decid-
eddy averse to new quarters, and also to
close confinement at such times. An
ounce of prevention is worth pound of
cure, and a little extra precaution at
this time will often save the life of a
valuable foal.-Cor. Breeders Gazette.

Kissed by Accident.

There was something the matter with the
engine, and the train had stopped to release
the injured locomotive and be taken in tow
by another. The baby was squalling in the
Irish rlursegirls arms, and the young and
inexperienced mother had made unsuccess-
full attempts to pacify it.
In the seat behind them sat a bashful
young man who twisted and turned with
every fresh outburst of the yelling infant.
He seemed to he suffering intense torture,
and his face wore such a look of agony that
believe the child was frightened, for it
was held over the nursegirl's shoulder
while the latter patted it's back.
The bashful appearing young man must
have finally decided a pin was torturins
1he baby, for he leaned forward to speak to
the young mother, who at that moment ex-
claimed:
'Poo' little tootsy wootsy sweetsy! Don't
e kyl Mamma tiss co."
II beg your PARDON began the young
man.

UNION MUTUAL LIFE INSURANCE Co.

1t is not given to every man to live in
a mansion, but for that treason people of
limited means do not decline to live in
cottage; and by parity of reasoning,
while it is not within the means of all to
carry Ten or Twenty Thousand dollars
of Insurance, people of more limited
means will find it equally to their advan
tage to partake Of such smaller sums
as may be within their reach.
Thus, when a man is married and has
q family around him, it is source of
pleasure to own absolutely the house in
which they reside, but it is obvious that
every one cannot own his abode, and just
here, one of the many advantages to
which the Union Mutual Life Insurance
Oempany's Trust Policies can be put
presents ITSELF
Suppose man aged 80 years resides
in a house, the rent of which is 5000 per
year, if he has not the means to buy the
same. a payment to the Union Mutual of
$75 per year-less than one dollar and a
half per week-would secure the neces-
sary 5000 for rent for period extending
25 years subsequent to his death, thereby
relieving him of all care and anxiety in
cident to the maintenance of roof over
the heads of his wife and children, should
he be prematurely removed.
The thousand and one ways in which
the Trust Policies of the Union Mutual
can be utilized, preelude,-for want of
of space-even their bare mention.
An Insurance journal in recent issue
said:-"There are so many various plans
Tor life insuring, that no doubt it would
luzzle the most competent actuary or
experienced life insurance canvasserto
decide which would be exactly the best
one for the insured. However, the I'm
ion Mutual Life is issuing what it terms
Limited Payment Life Trust Tontine

ment that it's provisions will better an
