THE ADVOCATE.
Stock Notes.

The work horses in hot weather
should be watered between morning
and noon, and at least once between
noon and quitting time.
Reports from Portland, Oregon, say
chat a company has been formed IN
that city for the purpose OF slaughter
ing the cheap horses in the Northwest
A writer thinks the best breed OF
hogs is the breed which help them
selves the most, cost the least and fur
nsh the most good meat at the lowest
cost.
Let the pigs pick up the inferior
apples that fall in the orchard. Be-
sides getting the benefit of fruit that
would otherwise 90 to waste, the pigs
would destroy a great many insects.
1t is reported that Texas railroads
are making consignors of sheep pay
the freight in advance to insure
against loss, should the price received
at the destination not be sufficient to
pay the freight bill.
One who has been successfully rails
ing hogs thinks that a thoroughbred
boar at 20 cents a pound is cheaper
than scrub at five cents. In fact he
says that you can hardly pay too much
for a first class boar if you have much
use for him.
A Humane writer says: Keep the
flies out of the stables. Close up the
cracks and tack mosquito bar over the
windows This may cost you little
money and trouble but it will save
you many dollars worth of horse flesh
The horses will pay for it by doing
lots more hard work without fatigue.
An exchange says: A few years
ago the farmer sold his lambs and
weathers to the "buyer." This man
sold them to "feeders" and the feeders
sold them to shippers ana this enter
prising class handed them over to the
consumers. Today an occasional
shepherd finds that he alone is to
blame if he does not manage to rake |
in the profits from all three of these
transactions.

Good Looks.

Good looks are more than skin
deep, depending upon healthy con-
dition of all the vital organs. If the
Liver be inactive, you have = Bilious
Look, if your stomach be disordered
you have Dyspeptic Look and if
your Kidneys be affected you have a
Punched Look. Secure good health
and you will have good looks. Elec-
trio Bitters is the great Alternative
and Tonic acts directly on these vi
tai organs. Cures Pimples, Blotches,
Boils and gives a good complexion.

TO supplement the bill already passed
by futher legislation, and 70 have en-
grated upon it such NOTIFICATIONS as
will more nearly meet Democratic
hopes and aspirations,
II can't be mistaken as to the neces-
sity of free raw materials as the foun-
dalton of logical and sensible tariff re-
form. The extent to which this is
recognized in the legislation already
secured is one of its encouraging and
redeeming features; but 1t is vexa-
tious to recall that while free coal and
iron ore have been denied, a letter OF
the Secretary of the Treasury discloses
the fact that both might have been
made free by the annual surrender of
only about 100000 of unnecessary
revenue.
al am sure that there is a common
habit of Understanding the impor-
lance of free raw materials IN tasitf
legislation, and of regarding them a.
only related to concessions to be made
to our manufactures. The truth is,
their influence is so far reaching that,
if disregarded, complete and bene-
ficient scheme of tariff reform can not
successfully be inaugurated.
"When we give to our manufactures
free raw materials we unshackle
American enterprise and ingenuity,
and these will open the doors of for
eign markets to the reception of our
wares and give opportunity for the
continuous and remunerative employ
ment of American labor. With mate
rails cheapened by their freedom from
tariff charges the cost of their product
must be correspondingly cheapened.
Thereupon justice and fairness to the
consumer would demand that the
manufacturers be obliged to submit
to such REIMBURSEMENT and modifica-
of the tariff upon their finished tons
goods as would secure to the people the
benefit ofthe reduced cost manufacture
against the exactions of inordinate
profits.
alt will thus be seen that free raw
and just and fearless reg
ulation and reduction of tariff to meet
the changed conditions would carry to.
every humble home in the land the
blessings of increased comfort and
cheaper living.
"The millions of our countrymen
who have fought bravely aud well for
tariff reform should be exhorted to
continue the struggle, boldly challeng-
ing to open warfare and constantly
guarding against treachery and half
heartedness in their own camp.
Tariff reform will not be settled
until it is honestly and fairly settled
in the interest and to the benefit of
a patient and long suffering people
Yours very truly,
"GRovER CLEVELAND"

Points on ShOeing.

An English veterinarian, while
speaking of shOeing horses, said that
the greatest care was necessary to SC
shoe the horse that the relative posi-.
ton of the leg to the foot in their nor
mai state should be Daintained. The
bearing of the shoe should be level all
around, Ifheel Dr. toe, the inside OF
the outside of We foot, were too high
or too low, tferelationship of the limb
to the gS@as disturbed-in fact the
whole mechanism of the limb was
thrown out Of gear. Unequal pressure
however slightly occasiOned, would
surely end in serious damage to the
limb, and among the frequent results
of such treatment is permanent injury
to the coffin bone. Contraction of the
heel, he maintained, was not an active
disease, but passive condition due to
the horse easing his feet so as to mini
mize the pain felt at his heels due TO
bad shoeing. He had little faith in
mechanical arrangements for WIDEN
ing crOntracted heels. "Shoe the
horse" he remarked, $50 that the bear
ing surface is properly maintained at
the heel, and expansion will follow IS
a natural consequence"

Prices of Pure Breeds.

The Western Swineherd says very
truly that the price of the pure bred
is a stumbling block to the farmer
when he first considers pure blood /;
that it appalls him to be asked to pay
from SIS to $40 for a pig no larger
than those of his own herd that he
could not market for more than Sc or
81. But no man can afford to sell a
good breeding pig eligible to record
for less than $l5. The cost of pro-
duction makes it impossible to do so.
But the lesson that "blood will tell"
has to be learned before breeding can
be made profitable. Some prefer to
learn it by expensive experience and
market rough, uneven and i'll condi-
TONED lots of hogs at cuts under mar
ket rates before they begin to inquire
why a neighbor gets from 10 to so
cents per hundred more for hogs than
they do. The thoroughbred hog is
capable ofturning 300 pounds at eight
months old, and more often than not
the scrub requires from four to eight
months longer and double the amount
of feed to reach the same weight. Fiji
teen dollars or even $50 per year spent
for the best blood is a cheap invest
ment for the farmer who turns off his
100 head of hogs annually.

The Indiana Farmer says: Stable
manures covered with loan or plaster
will retain their nitrogen and keep in
better condition for spreading on the
field than in any other way. Much is
lost by exposure in all kinds Of
weather. Both the ammonia and
nitrogen of manure may be easily lost
by such exposure.

grossly perverting tho teaching Of
Christ vixen they array it againstshs
recollection of such man as Breckin-
ridge to Congress, the people know
how to take him.
"TLe people not only know how to
take anything THAI comes from Mr..
Barnes, but they understand better
than he does the passages of Scripture
which he is said to have made use OF
in his sermon Sunday night. lie
comes in too late TO say anything
about David and Peter as parallels L,
Breckenridge, and the people know
very well the fallacy of applying a.
political preferment the Saviour's rule
about the forgiveness of personal Offer
SEES. If Col. Preckinridge has offend :
ed any of them personally, and asks
forgiveness, l suppose they will ac-
knowledge the obligation to forgive,
but after forgiving him, they viii not
see that they must vote for him rathe,
than for better, man when they go TO
elect representative in Congress. A
man with half an eye left can zee that.
AS for the case of woman brought to
Jesus by the Pharisees, her conduct
was similar 10 that of Breckenridge,
though not a.hundredth part so bad,
but there Is no other likeness between
the two. Under the law she was, and
the man who was guilty with her was
liable to death by stoning, aud the pu :
pose OF the Pharisees was TO induce Jc-
sus 10 condemn her to death, so that
they might report the fact to PLATE,
and accuse him of assuming the
prerogative OF Il king. When, there
fore, he said to her, Neither do
conoemn thee" he meant that he did
not condemn her to death--an aci
which would have been a usurpation of
civil authority on his part. That he
did not mean by condemn, the con-
demnation of ner act as sinful, is seen
in the words, go, and sin no more"
Let me add, TO correct common mis-
take, that this interview between him
ana her did not effect her final fate in
the least. II was still the solemn duty
of the magistrates of the town, when
the facts came to their knowledge, to
have the woman tried, and, Oil con-
viction, to see that she was stoned to
death and inasmuGh as the proceed
ings before Jesus made her case public,
there can be no ground for doubt that
she was condemned and executed.
This is not all. The man who was
guilty with this woman, though he
had doubtless run away when the
woman was caught, being able to out
run her and her pursners, was not
spared because he was a man. The
Jews were in harmony with the pro-
visions of their own God-given law
on this subject, and most willingly
stoned the man when they stoned the
woman. If the man in this instance
was not stoned il was bacause he couId
not be found.
LET it be known, once and forever,
that there is nothing in God'sHoly Book
to extenuate the awful crimes proven
against Beckinridge, and nothing to
furnish an excuse to good people for
seeking to re-elect him.

fore could say that it was correct. He
asked Alderman Smith if he would ac-
cept the amendment offered by Alder
man MCGOWAN, that the. opinion OF the
city solicitor be requested, but Alder
man Smith declined to accept the
amendment, and demanded a vote on his
order, which was then adopted five to
two. Alderman MCGOWAN entered a
protest, against the legality of the
action taken, and gave notice that h !,

leading lawyers of both parties.
City Phys!cian's Report.
The city physician, DR.. II. M. Nicker-
son, makes his annual report as follows:
Number of patients in Greedy Hospi-
tai, March, 1898, 46; number of patients
in Greedy hospital, March, 1894, 80; num-
Der admitted during the year by birth, 4;
by permits and from the almshouse, 176 !;
total, 1871.
Total number of patients treated, 227;
number of patients discharged, 1888; to-
tai number of operations performed dur
ing the year, 81; in the city patient de-
partment, number of patients received
266; number of house calls made, 1892;
number of office calls made, 255; total
number of city calls for year, l747; aver
age calls per day, 4.76; average of salary,
per call, 45.7 per cent.
DR.. Nickerson states that the city ply
stefan is entirely without authority. He
has no mark or badge to distinguish him
from private individual. The city ply
sician has no connection with the board
of health, and therefore is restricted in
his work of preventing diseases among
the poor. Several other valuable recon-
mendations follow, which will undoubt-
eddy receive the attention of the city
government. He complains that the
vaccination of school children has been
taken out of his hands, and claims that
the city physician ought to do this work.
For all this he thinks the salary of $500
much too small in comparison to what is
paid to other city officers

An English time check has been de-
signed for use in factories and work
shops for keeping a register of the time
of the workmen. Its inventor claims
that it is the only apparatus of the kind
actuated and controlled by electricity.
It contains no special clockwork and no
complicated parts and requires no fix
ing. AS many checks can be fitted to
one clock as may be desired, and any
ordinary clock can be adapted for the
purpose. Each man is provided with
checks, one of which he drops into the
slot of the apparatus on entering the
building. The checks are subsequently
removed, and after their mum bers have
been registered placed on a board ready
for the men to take when next leaving
work. Any number of slots can be pro
vided, but as rule two only, marked
respectively early and late, are re-
quired. When the time for beginning
work has gone by, the ''early'' slot is
closed by an electrical attachment.
and the ''Iate" slot is opened. Before
the next spell of work commences the
