Feeding Sow and Pigs.-"Please COM
pound ration from corn meal, ground
oats and wheat bran, for a SOW with
young pigs; and also a ration from
same feed stuff, for pigs from one to
six months old" Answer: You may
mix together 5 ID. corn meal, ID.
ground oats, 10. wheat bran as pro-
portion of food for the brood SOW
while sucking her pigs. After the
pigs are weaned, he may mix as the
proportion of food for the pigs, ID.
wheat bran and 1 10. ground oats.
This proportion of bran is necessary
to grow the bones and frame of the
pig. 1t is a matter of the greatest
consequence to have the bone and
muscle of the pig well developed. If
he has skim-milk, let him mix this
mixture of food or bran and ground
oats with the skim-milk. Bran is the
best food to grow the bones and frame
of the pig. Feed this for the first two
months; then he may add to the MKT
ure lib. corn meal-that is, the MKT
ure will be 10. bran. l 10. ground
oats and / 10. corn meal. This may
properly be fed to the pigs until
months old, then add another pound
of corn meal to the mixture, and use
only 1 10. bran, and this proportion
may be used till the pigs are 6 months
old, or till ripe for slaughter, and fed
in this way the pork would have a
good proportion of lean.

Seeding Grass.-Charles S. Barber, of
Harwinton, Conn, seeds down his
grass lands very largely by sowing the
grass seed in the corn field just before
the last cultivation, says Hoard's
Dairyman. He sows red top, clover,
and timothy, one-half bushel of the
mixture, to the acre. The last cultiva-
ton of course is very shallow, not
more than an inch deep. When he
first began this method bis neighbors
were very skeptical concerning it. but
now he states they are adopting it
quite generally. The grass seed comes
up nicely, even in dry seasons, and
gets vigorous start in the same year.
The next season he cuts a good crop
of hay. Of course care is taken to
maintain level culture as much as pos
sible. Mr.. Barber gf re US the forgo-
ing facts and is quite enthusiastic in
praise of this method of seeding down.
1t is worth remembering and trying.

March Scribner: can see her,
faded, haggard, sallOw woman, tired
from the weary rising in the dark
winter mornings, to the crawling from
the unfinished pile of mending IN the
cold room upstairs, at night. Her hus-
band is kind to her, but he has his
own work; and her back aches, she is
dizzy and faint, and life grows a
heavier load on her shoulders every
health is part of the homes capital,

are; they can't afford d doctor (who
would ride ten miles and charge five

one of the society speak of a patent
medicine that helped her last spring
and she will send for the medicine. Or
else she writes to the household paper
price fifty cents a Year, which she
takes, asking the EDITORS advice.
What pathetic and suggestive things
are the correspondence columns in
these humble journals! How the in
eradicable womanly longing to be at
tractive comes out in queer prescrip-
tons to prevent the hair falling out,
to remove freckles, or to make over old
gowns with small sleeves into the fam
boyant style of the day; how the wom-
ans heart peeps through its thin dis
guise in those pitiful letters, describing
lonely lives and love that the strong
years conquer, and the daily jar and
fret of disillusioned toll, and all the
rest of the dismal story. I seem to see
the broken woman, who was a joyous
and ambitious girl, Juggling ever more
YEARLY at her Sisyphean stone Of du
ties growing more irritable, more COM
planning as strength and heart fail, until
the day shall come when the tired
mother will not creep downstairs.
Then the neighbors will watch and
nurse by turns, and the doctor, who
might have helped years ago. will be
called in to witness properly the end
that he cannot avert.

But seeing that it was still only seven

going down, he summoned Pompey, to

job. But the people of Wyandotte
county could endure it no longer and
they showed him under at the polls by
LOO majority. He lived all this time
on the fat of the land, scared high, and
everybody understands that he made a
club of this $3.50 year job with which
he knocked plums and persimmons
right and left. He made very odious
reputation. He contributed nothing
to the party but bad odor. He never
considered question from any other
standpoint than what is there in it for
me- We repeat that this is all the rep
utation he has made in a long public
life. In the name of God why should
the party or the public give him any
more?"
We have no interest in Buchan up
this way except as his nomination in
the second district would be disgrace
to the entire state. But we want to
say that he is no worse than several of
the candidates on the republican state
ticket, notably Dick Blue of Linn
county, candidate for congressman at
large.
Mr.. Blue was member of the state
senate at the same time with Mr..
Buchan. The scathing arraignment of
Buchan applies equally to Blue. Buch-
an was in no disreputable scheme that
Blue was not with him. AS a matter
of fact, Blue, possessing greater abii-
ity, was the leader in all the deals
which have made Buchan infamous.
And Blue is more of a time-server than
Buchan because he is older. He is
more dangerous than Buchan because
his evil propensities are guided by a
keener and more cunning intelligence.
And yet Geo. Martin, while con-
demning Buchan, supports Blue for
congress. Mr.. Martin cannot be igno-
rant of Blues record. IF he is oppos-
ing Buchan because of his odorous rec
ord why doesn't he oppose Blue?
The election of Redeemer Blue
would be lasting disgrace to the
Independence Star.

here is very low and the oil used in the
cable line power houses is also very
low. 1t is expected that at any time

The ice supply is very short, owing
to the tie up of northern roads Barges
are being used, but not with perfect
success.
Work on the new Calumet elevator
has been suspended because of the in
ability to get material.
Office buildings are outstanding their
coal supplies. Vessels are also in bad
shape
The price of provisions is advancing
very rapidly and the hotels, restau-
rants and private families are feeling
it very keenly. Fruits, ice and all
kinds of perishable provisions are
commanding very high prices, and in
deed are now regarded as luxury. A
number of breweries ceased operations
to-day. For the first time in the his
tory of Chicago not single carload of
cattle arrived at the stock yards by
rail to-day, while the shipment of
dressed meats is practically at an end.
No switching is being done in the
lumber district to-day and a great
many of the planning mills have shut
down, as they cannot get cars to move
their lumber. This will throw out of
employment over Is, 600 men.

threatened with meat famine. All
the butchers obtain their supplies from
Chicago packers and the Swift branch
house here. The former have been

Butchers are raising the prices daily.
The quotations have already advanced

SUPPLIES RUNNING LOW.
FARIBAULT, Mimi, July 3.-Supp1ies
are running very low here. There is
no sugar in town and other staples are
hard to get. Teams have started over
land to Minneapolis to bring back
groceries.
COAL AND COKE SHORT.
JOLIET, Ill, July 3.-The great steel
works here are liable to close in a day
or two because the railroad strike is
cutting short the coal and coke supply.
Factories which use oil are also in bad
shape.

STATE DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION.

The DEMOCRAT will next week give
full report of the proceedings of the
convention held at Topeka on the Sd.
A good ticket, one that will call to
its support hundred thousand votes
of loyal Kansans this fall, was placed
in the field. There was no attempt at
fusion. The delegates were unanl-
nous in the decision that the demo-
Gratis of Kansas could not consistently
do anything but nominate a full ticket
this year.
The resolutions have no uncertain
sound; they say what they mean, and
MEAN what they SAY.
They reaffirm the national platform
of 1882; endorse the administration so
far as it has carried out the pledges of
the Chicago platform; endorse the
Wilson bill; demand the free coinage
of silver at ratio of Is to i; favor IT.
rigation appropriations by congress;
call for national commission to inves-
tigate the immigration question, de-
clare the church and state must be
kept separate, endorse Senator John
Martin, favor pensions for all deserv-
ing old soldiers, demand the repeal of
the law authorizing the issuance of all
bonds except for public buildings and
works, demand a state constitutional
convention, oppose woman suffrage,
demand the repeal of the prohibitory
liquor law; condemn the republican
returning board frauds of 1892 in Kan
sas," and the disgraceful conduct OF
the republican and populist parties
during the legislative war of 1893.

l ask. why is it that what you vote
for the benefit of labor does not get to
the laborer? You do not stand up and
tell the people of the United States that
you want this for the protection of the
capitalists. You do not dare to stand
before the people and tell them that.
You continue to tell them that it is for
the benefit of labor, and after you have
got it you put it in your own pocket,
and you pay your laborer just what he
gets at free trade prices, and that is all
he possibly can get.-Extract from
Robert @. Mills tariff speech.

COMING FOR THE SEEDS.

The Senate Determined Not to Lose Its
Past Agricultural Resources.
WASHINGTON, July 3.-The agricul
tural appropriation bill as prepared by
the committee on appropriations con-
tains an amendment, directing the sec
rotary of agriculture to have the seeds
set apart for the use of the senators
and representatives directed and
mailed at the department when
the senators and members SO re-
quest. It is also made obligatory upon
the department to furnish two-thirds
of the seeds to senators and members,
whereas the house bill required the
secretary of agriculture only to do so
upon their request. The requirements
for the irrigation question are not spe-
Gifted in this bill and the language of
this paragraph is so changed as to
leave the details and the meth
DDS of investigation entirely
to the secretary. The house
provision for weather forecast flags on
mail trains is stricken out The pro-
vision in the house bill for the annual
publication of data showing the yield
of agricultural products, the cost of
production, the transportation and
giving other like information was
stricken out by the senate COM
mittee. There is also an amend
ment instructing the entomologist to
make inspection and experiments of
the habits of insects injurious or bene-
fetal to plants in nurseries or orchards
where necessary. As agreed upon by
the committee the bill appropriates

Buohan and Blue.

George w. Martin of Kansas City is
after Billy Buchan's scalp and draws
a striking portrait of him as follows:
''Mr. Buchan served for sixteen years
in the state senate. He would not let
go nor would he move on, as man of
ambition should. He persisted in
holding the same thrilling job of three
dollars day for fifty days in each year,
and while he was in this bossy attitude
no other man in Wyandotte county
could aspire to anything. By the most
fragrant frauds in the republican pri-
maries of 1892 he had himself unani-
mously nominated for another term of
four years, making continuous serv-
ice of twenty years in this $3.50 year
