Ought Not Complain.

Washington Correspondence.
Perhaps it may sound unpatriotic and
even unfeeling to say that they could
expect nothing else, or that it is COM
pensation, but as long as men in this
country vote for their prejudices rather
than their pockets they ought not to
complain. These Texas sheep growers
are here proclaiming themselves demo-
Gratis of the purest type; the Louisiana
sugar growers have suppressed the re-
publican vote in their state by violence
and murder, yet they complain because
their sugar is not treated as under re-
publican legislation. While as Ameri-
cans we may regret to see great natural
and national interests destroyed, yet so
far as the men who do such things are
concerned it looks like retributive JUS
tice. The only ofense, in these mems
eyes, of which the republican party has
been guilty was that it was anti-slayery.

Dairy Pointers.

FEED the cows as regularly as you
milk them.
WHEN frost glitters In the stable
the COWS will be poor before the
springtime.
IF you want to make the straw
stack benefit the cow, put some Of il
under her for bedding.
LET the cow frisk in the open air
once in a while; continuous stable
life is not good fer her.
HAY green in color and sweet in
taste is the only quality that is fitted
for cow in milk to eat
BEAUTY or color does not make
the worth Of the cow. but the amount
of milk she yields and it's quality
measure her value.
IT is no easy task to make winter
dairying pay, and you must depend
more on brains than Drawn to have it
return profit
Do NOT kick the COW because Won
are angry; go and kick the barn door
or the milking stool instead until
you recover your senses. A few les.
sons will break you of the kicking
habit.
THE dairyman VINO permits his corn

man who never gets around to do his

They Boast of Their Infamy.

Washington Correspondence of Kansas City.
Mo-, Journal
It is curious fact that these sled
erar election laws so universally sup
posed to have been part OF the recon
struction measures were first inspired
and their enactment intended to reach
the fraudulent elections in New York.
OF course being laws enacted by con-
gress they had to be national in their
operation, but their inception and their
purpose was as I have stated.
The fact was notorious that Seymouy
was given the state by fraud. So IT
was given to Tilden, and SO it was given
the first time to Cleveland. No well in
formed man ever pretends to deny these
facts in private life. After the bold
steal Of the state for Seymour congress
investigated the frauds, and in two large
volumes win be found the proofs of the
most infamous corruptions of the ballot
ever known. The federal elections
laws were the result. And it will be
seen now that it was Tammany most in
terested in their repeal.
Cleveland to-day is president by
majority in the electoral college obtained
by frauds that even by his own party
friends are not only undenied but
boasted of. The solid south Is simply
the synonym Of fraudulent elections.

Double-HulIed Ships.

The proposed construction of
double-hulled ships has been still
further elaborated by a Massachu-
setts designer, the compartments &C
cording to this plan being so arranged
as to insure, it is claimed, a mathe-
NAUTICAL certainty against sinking
Between the outer and inner shells
of the vessel is series of longitu-
dinal compartments, to be filed with
water, and emptied by the vessels
pumps for ballast, and above this
section, on either side, and rising to
the full height VI the vessels side, is
a series OF chambers filled with small
air-tight tanks, their capacity being
figured in excess of the known dis
placement of the ship and cargo
thus: A cubic foot of air has per-
feet supporting capacity for a known
weight The calculation is that with
a supply Of air in these tanks of some
twenty-five per cent above that re-
quired by the formula nothing short
of fragmentary destruction could
sink a yessel-any probable collision,
the penetration of shot, or the ex-
plosion of a torpedo would injure
only a small proportion Of the tanks,
the rest performing their work easily
and safely, thus rendering the vessel
nonsinkable, the only drawback i'm
the arrangement being the decreased
carrying capacity.-New York Sun.

nature unaided to restore fertility
the process may be fastened by mans
cooperation. Leguminous plants
like clover. peas and the like, derive
a large part of nitrogen from the air.
They are also the plants which decay
most readily, and therefore make the
best fertilizer. A single crop of
clover grown to maturity will put
land in condition for cropping better
than five or six years with the sur
face left naked except as nature COW
ers it with weeds. In the South the
cow pea largely takes the place of
clover as recaperative crop It will
grow in land too much exhaused to
take good catch of clover. It is
therefore best to use as a beginning,
sowing clover after the surface soil
has been tertilized and relying on
clover roots to penetrate and deepe

KANSAS RAILROADS.

The new Colby land district embraces
the fourteen northern counties within
sixty miles of the Nebraska line and
200 miles of the Colorado line.
That the Missouri Kansas & Texas
railroad is reducing expenses is shown
by the number the of station agents it has
discontinued in Kansas during the past
three months. At every town where
the road can possibly get along without
him, the agent is released.
On March l the Missouri, Kansas &
Texas railroad will withdraw its support
and transfer business from the Scott
junction, and will no longer aid in keep
ing an agent at that point. After that
date all mail and baggage will have to
be transferred from the katy" depot,
thus increasing the responsibility of the
mil contractor. Chief Clerk Taylor was
so informed by advices from Washing
ton. The Memphis road will maintain
an agent at the junction for the present.
Hiawatha is to have new st. J. & G.
I. depot. Work on it will be commenced
early in the spring.
The Norton station agent for the
Rock Island, c. E. Glenn, has pleaded
guilty to embezzling nearly 81, ZOO, and
has been sentenced to two years in the
penitentiary.
There was slight collision between
two NJ. Z. & T. and Frisco freights at
Oswego. Several box cars were derailed
and smashed up some, but no very seri-
GUS damage was done.

Keeping Sweet Potatoes,


We have been marketing sweet 20.
tatoes for about two months, and are
nearly through with them now, as
the drouth gave us a very short crop
but as the price has averaged 81 a
bushel, they have given fairly good
profit Since / have learned how to
keep sweet potatoes through the win
ter, and have prepared a place for
them, / find them my most profitable
crop. We have barn cellar, made
rat proof by a cement floor, and by
lining with tin the two sides of the
cellar which have board partition.
This PARTITION is made by setting up
eight-inch studdilg and boarding
both Sides This place is grouted
with Sawdust above. With cellar
made in this way and fitted with
double doors and windows sweet po-
Jatoes can be kept all winter without

quantity 600 or 200 bushels) fire heat
will be necessary.
too deep We enter ours on the level
at one side, and it is not more than
three feet deep at the deepest part
The potatoes are picked up as fast as
dug and taken at once to the bins in
the cellar We would not take the
potatoes in when wet from rain or
heavy dew, but do not try to cure
them at all in the sun, as has been
recommended. We handle them care
fully so as not to bruise them, and as
sort as we pick them up The mer-
charitable ones are put directly into
buShel baskets, and we dray them on
sled to the cellar and empty them
carefully, so that they will not be
bruised. They are put in bins about
four or five feet wide and the same
depth, and we prefer to have two or
three hundred bushels in a bin.
They heat and 60 through a curing
process which insures their keeping
and improves their quality, and all
that is necessary to insure them to
keep through the winter is to keep
the temperature between SO degrees
and TO degrees. The potatoes them
selves will give off heat enough to do |
this where there is a large quantity |
bulked together, but with small |
quantity it is necessary to have some |
artificial heat In my cellar we do
this by a kerosene lamp that holds
three quarts Of oil; we can raise the |
temperature ten to fifteen degrees in
short time with il. The small po-
tatOes which are used for sprouting
are put into bins by themselves. If |
no potatoes rot we expect the shrink
age to be 10 per cent or more, and
there will usually be some rotten
ones but in 1892 my loss from rot
was less than per cent. and this
year about 3, as the land was in such

Pet Your Horse.

Most horses will eat sugar, and all
after having it few times become
very fond Of it. This is a habit
which is worth while to encourage,
for nothing so educates the horse to
familiarity with his master as togive
him Jumps of sugar from the hand.
A great part OF the value of good
horse is his intelligence There is
no better way to cultivate this than
to feed the horse with the kind Of
delicacies that they are most fond of.
The Arabs pet their horses by feeding
dates and figs, and the animal thus
petted soon learns to obey his mas
ters will in every particular. Begin
with the young colts by putting
Jumps of sugar with their oats. The
sugar will give them shining coats, as
it is very fattening. 1t also gets rid
of any worms if there are any in the
colts stomach. The worms are very
fond Of the sugar, and they eat so
heartily Of it that they loosen their
holds on the intestines and dre car
ried out in the excrement The only
caution needed in giving sugar to
horses is that it is not proper food
for animals that have hard work,
though little as a condiment will do
no harm even to working horses.

Economy in Good Farm Buildings.

Good farming implies warm shelters
for stock in inclement weather.
Warm stables prevent loss of flesh
and vitality from cold or wet weather,
and at the same time enable the
farmer to effect the greatest possible
saving OF animal excrements for ma
nure. The increased amount and
value Of the weddings of sheltered
animals will pay large interest On
the cost Of the buildings The saw
ing in feed required for maintenance
will go far toward paying rent on the
structures. Good economy requires
that the farm buildings be built of
sound, substantial, durable materials,
and that they be well built. Then
the cost of repairs will be reduced to
a minimum. The farmers dwelling
should also be we'll built of the best
materials, and so conveniently ar
ranged as to make the Homework as
light as possible. This is a question
of economy as well as a question of
justice TO the weaker sex who are
part of the working force of the
farm, The farmers dwelling should
be we'll lighted, we'll ventilated and
well severed, so as to preserve the
health and efficiency Of it's inmates,
and the idea of beauty should have
full effect in the location and archi-
lecture of the farm dwellings and all
of it's environments, including it's Or
namental grounds, kitchen, and fruit

Columbus letter: Several weeks ago
the pastors of the Presbyterian and
Methodist churches of this city began q
series Of protracted meetings. At the
present time upwards Of thirty have made
confession at the Presbyterian church
and moro than 100 at the Methodist
Episcopal church. The meetings at
both churches continue with a greater
manifestation of interest than heretofore
and the prospect Of wonderful revival
is very favorable.
Wellington letter: One of the most
wonderful religious revivals ever held in
the state of Kansas is now in progress
in this city. The meetings were begun
on New Years night under the leader
ship of Rev. J. d. Botkin, pastor Of the
First M. E. church, and since that time;

capacity of from 1.200 to 1900, has been
inadequate to accommodate the throngs.

the pastor invited the Salvation army.
captained by Louis Williams, to enter
his church and assist in the work, and
since that time enthusiasm knows no
bounds. Every class of business has
been affected. Under the influence of
these meetings the city council met in
special session, repealed the "malt' ordi-
nance, and passed one prohibiting the
sale of intoxicating liquors within the
city. Since the first of this month alone,
hundreds have been converted, among
whom are many of the most prominent
citizens, together with professional gam
blers, who repentantly throw their dice
upon the floor, and with iointists,
drunkards and those who have frequent
ly looked from behind prison bars, kneel
at the altar. Late in the afternoon a
throng of citizens, led by Mayor Savage
and the Salvation army, marched in tri-
umphal procession through the city.

The Champion Corn Husker.

Probable the largest amount Of
corn husked in one day was husked
by James Smoke the hired employe of
an Illinois farmer. 1t was on a piece
that yielded 100 bushels per acre and
Mr.. Smoke husked 161 bushels. II
was the Dent corn, of course, and the
stalks were uncut, so there was no
tying up Of corn stalks to be done
as in Eastern husking When Dent
corn is left standing until frost has
peeled the huskS from the ears and
left them exposed on the stalks the
husker has only to 90 through the
field, break off the ears and throw
them into basket or wagon. It is
a very rapid way of harvesting the
corn, but very wasteful of stalks.
This husking of 16l bushels in eleven
hours is not better, considering the
conditions, than Eastern huskers
have done with flint corn.-Culti-
vator.

THIRTY thousand wool growers have
petitioned congress against free wool.
There is a good deal of time wasted in
such petitions. The time to petition
congress was November, 1892, and the
way to do it was to elect republican
congressman. The SD congress was
pledged and elected to put wool on the
free list and would stultify itself if 1t
failed to do it.

Restoring Exhausted Land.

1t used TO be the practice when
fertility was too much exhausted by
cropping to let the land lie idle for a
few years, allowing it to grow up
with whatever nature was pleased to
clothe it with while resting. This
was the way that the soils original
fertility was stored. It was a slow
process and after returning to the
soil for thousands Of years all that it
grew, a comparatively short term Of
cropping with the most exhaustive
crops will leave it too barren to be
longer worth cultivating. Yet in
most cases this exhaustion was more
apparent than real. The elements Of
fertility were in the soil, but in un-
available forms Instead Of leaving

Change the Routine.

The element Of surprise in even
the humdrum affairs of everyday life
converts the prosaic into the more
SOul-satiSfying uncertainty about
what is to be, and the excitement
thus fostered is that fine line that
keep us ever on the alert ever eX-
pectant. The housekeeper, in the
routine of three meals a day and the
necessary washing, sweeping and bak-
ing Incident to the running of we'll
regulated menage, thinks, perhaps,
that the element of surprise should
not be introduced into the clock
work system, lest confusion be the
result. Here is just where the mis-
take lies, for, in the endeavOr to
secure perfection of detail affairs get
into rut and order becomes monot-
onous and tiresome. The family does
not like to feel that on Wednesday it
will sit down to corned beef as surely
as it will dine on roast turkey on
Sunday. Only the other day we
heard a wife say to her husband,
What shall 1 get for dinner" and
the reply came straight from the
mans heart: II don't care so long
as do not know what IL is going to
be-"
This sentiment is universal; beans
that are unexpected are more relished
than terrapin and pheasant talked
and planned about for days before
hand. Vary the menu, and likewise
vary the arrangement OF your rooms.
The eye gets tired looking at pictures
and chairs always in the same spot
OF course, enter into the new regime
with moderation and good sense or
the desire to produce surprise may
result in something not as agreeable
as was anticipated. Do not throw
the house into confusion every day in
order to obtain a new arrangement
in furnishings, nor do not eschew
entirely the sensible meals, well
served, that have heretofore been the
standby in your daily menu, but con-
nue. once in while to strike the
keynote of variety, for it is likewise
the keynote Of domestic harmony.
