Mr., H, KLEMME WILL CONTEST
Will Petition to Have the Election
Declared Void.
Declares IhAt lie Was EIected-says
They Counted Him out-Hs "Wnl
Nj be BulI-dozed"-I- Mad.

Henry klemme, the indepen-
dent, will contest. He gives notice
that he will sue 10 have the cleo
ton declared void. Klemme claims
that he was cheated on the 29th
ult. He believes a recount will
show that at least one A. u. T..
candidate was beaten and that
there were some flaws in the count.
Klemme is the man who was adj
vertised az "the peoples represen-
tative." He was the avowed can
didate of the Schuetzen Club from
which the mounted police cut off.
Klemme was defeated by four
votes.
In an interview yesterday Mr..
Klemme spoke with much earnest
ness and was somewhat bitter in
his tone. He said that he knew
and that every fair-minded person
must know that he was elected. A
correct recount, he declared, would
show that he was entitled to a seat
in the house. He wanted his
rights and did not propose to be
"bull-dozed." The Schuetzen Club,
of which he is president, is push
ing the matter and bearing the
expense, so he Gays. Mr.. Klemme
added that people who thought
that the two Schuetzen Clubs were
at enmity would be fooled and
would soon be treated to a sur
prise in political manipulation.
Mr.. Klemme contends that he
really had as many votes as the
most popular candidate on the A.
u. p. ticket He claims that all the
Portuguese voted for him, but that
their ballots were unceremoniously
tossed out. According to Klemme
he was given credit only for the
votes cast by white men" and
some of these were overlooked
by the returning boards.
The contestant says that he has
the sympathy of plenty of good
people and mentioned the en-
ployees of a very large German
house as having voted |
for him.

HELD BY THE ENEMY WELL DONE
Dailey's Company and the Play
We're Pleasing to All.
for the Grand Spectacular
series Of TAbIeauN.

The stirring military drama
"Held by the Enemy" had an
able presentation by the Daley
company last night. There was a
large audience, and all seemed
greatly pleased. Miss Dalgleish,
the bride, had a flatterirg recep-
ton. The lines "came pat" when,
as Susan McCreery, she was in
formed that she knew nothing
about marriage, and spiritedly re-
piled that she did know all about
it. Al III. Hallett made his hit of
the engagement at the end of the
second act. Miss Nannery and
Miss Snow were particularly cap
able in the third act. Louis Bel
mour contributed most of the
fun. Mr.. Daley was excellent as
the old negro. Richard Scott was
a dashing officer, and Jean Weiner
and John Howard made good SOL
diers In mimic action. The bonn
bardment scene was quite realistic,
and the Southern parlor was de-
cidedly pretty. Miss Belmour was
effective as Southern lady. p. A.
Nannery made a fine figure as
major-general commanding.
Tomorrow afternoon and even
ing there will be produced the
spectacular Cinderella" A wealth
of scenery has been provided. Mr..
Daley purposes that cinderella"
shall be given in metropolitan
style. Miss Stockmeyer will sing
two native songs. 1t is said she
has quite mastered them in the
original. There will be the golden
coach and ponies, the fairies min
net and many other features. The
scenic artist has been busy for
weeks upon Cinderella" and this
series of transformations will sur
prise and please all:

The thought in one scene is the
union of Hawaii and the United

seats will be reserved. The box

A SOUVENIR BADGE.
Sam McKeague Presented with One
While in Pittsburg.

Sam McKeague, a member of the
George de Long Post, G. A. R., re-
Gently returned home, after attend
ing the twenty-eighth National En-
campment of the Grand Army of
the Republic, which was held at
Pittsburg, Penn, on September 10th
last. Mr.. McKeague was delegated
to represent his Post. He was,
naturally, made great deal of for
travelling go far to take part in the
encampment, and, just before he
left for home, was presented with
a handsome bronze badge. There
were a limited number of the SOU
venir badges struck off, after which
the die was destroyed. The mate
rial for the badges was obtained
from an old cannon that had been
stationed in the Allegheny arsenal.
The cannon was donated by an Act
Of Congress to the Citizens Execu-
tive Committee of Pittsburg for the
purpose of making the souvenir
badges. Each one was encased in
a handsome box made Of thin steel
representing a section of railroad
rail. The committee, in presenting
the badge, had this to say: " May
the precious memories Of the old
cannon, as embodied in this badge,
cheer and brighten your pathway
through life and prove a valuable
legacy to your children"
Comrade McKeague is justly
proud OF his badge.

Purifies the Blood,
Feeding and Manurial Value.

One of the hardest things to make
plain is what is really meant by the
feeding and manurial value of stock
foods. Both of these values are COM
parative-that is, if cornmeal, is worth
so much, wheat bran is worth so much
but we cannot give the value of one
without comparing it with the other.
1t will not do to say to the farmer in
New Jersey and the farmer in Wiscon-
sin, "A ton of wheat bran is worth S25
for feeding and $13 for manuring."
The cost of cattle food and the cost of
fertility differ in these two states. The
manurial value of the bran is equal to
the cost of buying so pounds of nitrogen,
60 pounds OF phosphoric acid and 80
pounds of potash in other materials.
The feeding value is equal to the cost of
312 pounds of protein, 80 pounds of fat
and l 1850 pounds of carbohydrates. One
can easily see that the price of pound
of nitrogen or pound of protein might
be greater in one state than in the other.
Therefore no actual definite value can
be given that would answer for both
places. In the east, where definite val
ues are given feItilizing substances, the
manurial values" are more practical,
because they can be compared with fer
tilizers. In the west, where the laws
regarding fertilizers are not so strict,
they have only a comparative value at
best.-Rural NeD Yorker.

Clover on New Land.

Professor Thomas of Minnesota writes
in The Live Stock Report about the diff
ficulties in getting clover catches on
new land in the northwest. He attrib-
utes the fact to porosity of new soil,
which causes drying winds to penetrate
it and take away its moisture. An ex-
change commenting on the foregoing
says: I'm the dry regions beyond the
great lakes this may possibly be the
effect, but elsewhere we have found
that a soil which is porous at the SUI
face furnished the best clover catch
Loose soil on the surface acts as a mulch
and keeps the soil below moister than
it would otherwise be. We have usu-
ally had better catches of clover on land
newly cleared than on that long cult
waited. On the later sowing on sur
face that has been repeatedly frozen and
thawed during the winter gave the best
results. But on new cleared land we
have had just as good clover catches
with oats, which are generally a poor
crop to seed with"

About Raising GOslings.

AS soon rs the goslings are strong put
them in little yard, with the hen,
where there is green gIass and a sunny
slope, and they will soon begin to pick
at the grass. Give little meal and
shorts mixed, of which they will eat
every day. Furnish them dry, warm
box if the weather is cold, and in two or
three days a larger run, and then let
them go, and they will "come home to
roost." If they have grass enough and
some food every day, you can almost
see them grow. Give them all the food
they will eat and all the grass until the
flight feathers grow out as far as the
root of the tail and then inclose them
for fatting. For this dry situation is
required, where no water will stand and
no mud. A small yard so feet square,
with some shade, will be large enough
for rs goslings.
Do not brighten them. Be as gentle
with them as possible and keep them
quiet. l have large boiler that holds
about two barrels. | fill this with wa
ter, and when it boils stir in the meal,
mixing until quite firm and adding
about 80 pounds of beef scraps. The
young geese are fed all of this mixture
they will eat and only water enough to
drink. Put in their Enclosure some
pieces of rotten wood, for which they
will find use. 1t takes me from 7 to 30
days to fit them for market, as some will
fatten easier and quicker than others.
1t is important with the early birds to
get them in the market before July 4,
as we can get 25 cents per pound whole
sale before that time. When the gos-
lings are fit for market, go into the pen,
select the best and take them to the
picking room. Bleed through the mouth
about a minute and then strike sharp
blow with short oak stick. Beginning
at the breast remove the feathers as
quickly as possible, picking one joint Of
the wing and half of the neck. Put
them in barrel of cold water and let
them remain until night. Then change
the water, washing all the blood from
the bill, and put some ice in the clean
water. Ship as early in the morning as
possible.-EGchange.

A Perfect Driving Horse.

Mr.. Henry Fairfax of the FairfaXes
of Virginia believes that the perfect
harness horse is a cross between the
English hackney and the American trot-
ting mare. Accompanying his faith by
works, like good Christian, Mr.. Fair
fax began the breeding at his farm at
Oak Hill of such animals.
Mr. Fairfax believes further that the
demand for the light harness and car
riage horse will constantly increase in
America. He uses only the best class
of hackney sire and large, perfectly
formed trotting mares. He finds no diff
Guilty in disposing at good prices of the
colts he raises from the cross. The ideal
height for these horses is from 1 SO to
1913. Many old fashioned farmers are
prejudiced at first sight against the
hackney gait, declaring that it makes a
horse go string halt on all fours." Mr..
e. T. Riddick, editor of The Hackney,
writes of the gait of his favorite horse
The hackney action is somewhat diff
ferent from that to which the ordinary
farmers in this country have been accus-
toned. There is an easy, frictionless,
springy motion in the picking up and
putting down of the feet. Many have
condemned this action as wearing, but
it does not merit the least condemna-
ton. The short coupling and perfect
balance of the hackney horse enable
him to keep his feet under him at all
times. In other words, if he slips with
one of his fore feet, the hook has been
placed so far forward that the center Of
gravity is maintained, and where any
ordinary, loose jointed animal would be
liable to bad sprain the hackney picks
himself up and goes on without the
slightest hindrance to his even action.

Agricultural Notes.

Prizetaker onions sOwn in hotbed
and transplanted later to the open
ground give excellent results.
Trianon Cos is good summer lettuce.
Some gardeners use poultry wire net
ting for supporting pea vines.
When you receive trees or vines with
frozen roots, you can either cure or kill
them. Slow thawing means the one,
sudden thawing the other. Put them in
cool soil in the cellar and let frost draw
out gradually. Then all will be right.
The decline in the price of sheep has
been considerable in the last year. Hogs
have also fallen in price, but there is ev-
cry appearance of rapid recovery.
In prices horses have declined 81 per
cent, mules - per cent, milk COWS have
remained almost stationary, but with in
creasing tendency, while oxen and other
cattle have lost three-eighths per cent.
The American Cultivator says nova
days the quality of potatoes depends
more on keeping the foliage whole and
free from blight than on the kind of soil
they are grown on.
Good heads of caulihower only grow
IN cool weather and rich soil. Do not
expect good results on dry poor soil or
In dry, hot weather. The heads must
form either very early or quite late.
7. B. Terry says when he sends 800
worth of beef to the city he sends with it
$15 worth of fertility, but when he sends
500 worth of potatoes he sends along
only $7.40 worth of fertility.
Farmers often dust plaster over fresh
ly cut seed potatoes for the purpose of
absorbing the moisture and rendering
the tubers easier to handle, and it is pos
sible that the coating of plaster, when it
dries upon the tuber, may prevent the
loss of moisture and delay shriveling
but its advantage in this respect, Pro
fessor Bailey thinks, must be small.

FARM AND GARDEN,
A Cow Palace.

Twice the Guernsey cow barn of ex-
Vice President Levi p. Morton at Rhine
beck has been destroyed by fire. The last
time was Aug. 3, 1898. Each time i'm
mediately after the fire another building
was placed upon the same site, and each
time a larger structure was erected,
with all the Improvements that stable
architecture had attained since the other
one was built. The new barn will there
fore be model of its kind and will he
doubtless visited by hundreds of stock
men and dairymen throughout the coun-
try. For instance learning wisdom
from the melancholy fact that many i'm
mensely valuable cattle were burned to
death in the other barn, the architect
has in this case provided a way in which
every cow can be instantly released
from her stall.
The New York Herald reporter de-
scribes the barn as follows:
The new building is 800 feet long, 65
feet wide and where the silos are locat-
ed 50 feet wide. The latest improve
ments have been introduced in the build
ing, and no expense has been spared to
make it model barn and one of the
finest in this country
Railroad tracks for cars to carry feed
run around the interior of the barn.
There are blinds on every window, so
arranged as to act as awnings to keep
the heat out in summer.
The area walls outside of the building
have 6 inch limestone coping, with
an iron railing feet high. The base
ment is of concrete inches thick,
with cross brick wall with chestnut
sleepers TO rest upon and drainage I'M
der the whole.
The basement under the L, which is
40 by 80 feet in size, is fitted up as
root cellar. The silos are three in num-
Der and hold 1900 tons.
The stalls in the barn are provided
with fire escape fasteners, so that any
one of them can be opened at once.
Three hundred thermostats are placed
in the barn TO give an alarm in case of
fire. They tell what part of the build
ing is on fire aud are connected with
the farmhouse and Office.
The barn is lighted by incandescent
lights. The latest improved machinery
is provided for grinding feed, etc., in
Guiding a powerful engine.
The many new inventions introduced
in the construction of this barn are be-
ing closely observed by experts.

Turkeys for Profit.

In the first place, get well bred stock.
The Mammoth Bronze is said to be the
best variety. The males at the age of
8 months weigh from 10 TO 22 pounds,
females 10 to IA. The hen will lay from
30 to 80 eggs, according to management.
From 16 to 90 eggs constitute a setting.
The period of incubation is 30 days.
After the hen begins to sit she sticks
closely to her nest; consequently her
food should not be neglected Only one
person should go near the sitting hens,
and that one should be quiet in every
movement, so that by Matching time all
fear of approach has disappeared, and
she will permit the removal of her little
ones without resistance
Young turkeys are so tender and so
easily injured that it is best to remove
them from the nest when only few
hours old. Keep them in basket snug
ly wrapped in warm flannel, lifting
them out for an airing now and then dur
ing the second day, in order that they
may learn the use of their clumsy little
legs and to offer them something to eat.
Little turkeys never have much appe.
tite until two or three days old, and then
an egg custard with tender onion tops
cut small enough for them to swallow
will tempt them sooner than anything
else, and when they have learned to eat
pretty well season their custard with
pinch of black pepper and thicl1en it
slightly with the soft crumbs of egg
bread. Feed them five times a day until
they are two weeks old. The authority
for the foregoing, successful turkey
grower, tells in The Country Gentleman
that the reason of this is, the growth
of feathers on young turkeys is very rap.
id and demands constant supply of nu-
triton. Sweet milk should be offered
them to drink daily, given in some man.
ner to prevent them getting themselves
wet.
One of the secrets of turkey raising ia
never allow them to get wet or chilled.
A good way is to make yard of boards
10 or 12 feet square for the mother and
her brood. Provide shelter for them to
sleep under and to protect them from
sudden rains. After two weeks the GUS
tard may be omitted; then feed bread
made of bran, middlings and little
cornmeal, baked and moistened with
sweet milk. After a month old they can
be fed mixed grains once daily, with a
little cracked corn. Later on their morn
ing meal can consist of any cooked vege-
tables thickened with good wheat bran
and middlings fed warm. Place the food
in troughs or anything that can be kept
clean, as it is necessary that their food
be prepared fresh every day. Provide
plenty of grit, also plenty of clean water
or sweet milk. Cultivate their acquaint-
ance as you feed them. Keep them grow
ing from the shell to the slaughter.
