This trouble is hardly to be avoided
when the mixer VETS the teats during
milking. The wctting and subsequent
drying will certainly cause cracks in
the skin, and once these happen it Is
difficult to heal the wounds while the
COW is giving milk, as at every milking
the cracks are broken open and thus
n trouble is made worse. The best
remedy is to apply pure vascline to the
teats and soften the skin and the
wounds, and milk with great care.
After the milking the vaseline is again
applied, and if needed surgical rubber
plaster should be wrapped around the
teats BY gentle handling the wounds
may be healed in a few days.

less expenditure, by more promptly

GOV. w. J. STONE.
Speech at Carthage, Mo-, September
90, 1894.

Mr.. CHAIRMAN: ~Paradoxfcally, the oldest
of our political questions has become the
newest, as 1t is also the most important.
This question relates to the respective rights
and powers of the State and Federal gov
ernments under the Constitution of the
United states. 1t is the oldest, because it is
coeva1 with the Republic itself. 1t is the
newest, because the controversies between
State and Federal authority, provoked by
recent events, which in Illinois and Califor-
mia developed almost into open conflict, have
attracted a new and more intense present
interest TO the subject. 1t Is always the
most important, because 1t affects the or
ganic nature of our government, because
upon 1t hinges not only the character but
the perpetuity of our institutions, and be-
cause more than any other 1t directly and
permanently concerns the personal rights
and liberty of the citizen. Other prominent
questions of the day, like those relating to
revenue and finance, albeit of the highest
importance to national prosperity. are,
after all, but questions of expediency, of
public policy, of mere administrative m
port. The very nature of such questions
almost necessarily makes any given solution
of them a temporary solution. The most
patriotic considerations, looking only to the
public good, may at one time demand the
modification, even the reversal, of a mere
Not SO with his great question of govern
mental organism. This is a question not of
policy, but of principle. 1t is fundamental,
not merely incidental; it is permanent, not
mutable; it is organic, not administrative.
