Something About clover.

Sopeka State journal.
Benjamin Glover who accidently rode
INTO congress from the Third district
on the first populistic wave which
struck the state in 1890 and who last
Inmmer sold himself to the republican
managers, has been given his reward.
he has been appointed farmer" at
ihe reform school by the state board
81 charities.
This is another appointment which
viii bring the administration into dis
1epute but it is along with the same
policy which shields men in high
places who are guilty of drunkenness
n public and Others who insult re-
spectacle girls.
Is it not a pretty spectacle? Ben
Glover is not the man to be placed in
position of farmer at the reform school
where he will have the care and train
ing of young boys in his hands, He has
1gured in too many scandals.
The members of the board of chart
lies have no doubt followed the in
ltTuctiOns given them by Governor
Morrill, and Chairman Leland in max
ing this as they have in their other ap-
continents.
Clover disgraced the people who sent
bin to congress in 1890, and at their
ne1t congressional convention thew
tRTned him down and nominated JEFF
Hudson.
When Clover went to Washington
ne took with him woman stenograph-

paying to this young woman found
their way back to COwley county

About the time congress adjourned

BlOyer charged him with infdelity and
Hnelty.
Glover made no fight to prevent his
wife getting a divorce. but went to her
and they agreed to settle the division
Of their property out of court. In this
way he prevented scandalOvs details
from coming so the public ear.
In an interview about her petition
Tor the divorce, Mrs Clover said there
Was more back of her petition than

Truth was Ben had been paying more

Special to Republic.
OMAHA, Neb., May 16.-For some
time a number of Omaha preachers,
together with Judge Scott of the Dis
Court, have been severely criticising
the government for its handling of the
social evil. Mayor Bemis delivered
the address of welcome before the
state convention of the Boys and Girls
Home Association today in which he
said:
II wonder why the preachers are
not here today. This is good work.
The preachers are getting sleepy.
They need waking up, and l am going
to wake them. The preachers and
some Others have no time to spread the
gospel, but find opportunity to roast
the city officials. Perhaps the city
officials need roasting sometimes,
but they are never so bad as most of
the preachers.
"1here is that sensational duo
Judge Frank Scott and Rev. Cum
ningham X. Crane. Maybe 1 am get
ting names mixed, but you know who
mean. That man Crane is ALWAYS
talking to the galleries. He is devoid
of any of the religion of Jesus Christ
and circuiates falsehOods about the
mayor of this city. They have none
of the true Christianity. They wish
to return to barbarism. They would
like to take the fallen women out into
Jefferson Square, pour kerosene oil on
them and burn them at the stake.
That is a sample of their Christian
ity."
The speech has created a sensation.

In his paper before the bankers on
taxation, Mr.. Snediker of Hartford
said that the present system was mot
fair.
1.-THE democrats demand free mater
ial for the manufacturers" said, "then
why not free material for the farmer
and miners Improved land is taxed
four times as much as unimproved
land right beside it. Is not this a tax
on industry? Exempt the working
farmer from taxation on improve
ments and all other forms Of wealth.
There are now millions of men who
would come into Kansas, but you are
keeping them out. Tax the man that
doesn't use the land"

HOT TIMES COMING.

II the Predictions OF the journal Come
True, the Gold-bugs VIII Form q Party OF
Their Own.
The Kansas City Journal says that
before the conventions are held in 1895
both the old parties will be fully COM
mitted to silver, and asks what the
gold barons" are going to do about it.
This query might be answered by the
statement that in 1892 both the old
frauds were supposed to be fully com
mitted to silver and the gold barons
have shown us what they can do in
such an emergency. However, if the
old parties are captured by the silver
contingent, it is likely that the gold
bugs in both parties viii bolt and form
a party of their own and nominate
Cleveland.
There are hot times ahead The
Washington correspondent Of the Chi
cago Times Herald says:
During the next year" said mem
Der of the cabinet, 1--WE are going to
witness a remarkable campaign in this
country. 1t will be neither sectional
nor political. Two economic ideas are
to struggle for the mastery in the
minds of the people, 1t will be a cam
paign of the printing press. Millions
upon millions of books and pamphlets
bearing upon the silver question will
be circulated. Moreover, clubs will be
formed for and against the free coin
age of silver in every state, every
county, almost every township and
school district in the country. In my
opinion it will be the most remarkable
intellectual struggle ever seen in the
world. 1t is simply that and nothing
more. If anyone imagines it to be an
array of the debtor against the creditor
class he is very much mistaken. 1t is
not question of selfshness on the one
side or the other. You can't stir up
the American people in that way
over a matter of dollars and cents.
No, the great campaign must be re-
garded as an evidence of the wonder
full intellectual activity of our people,
of their desire to study these ques-
tions, of pride of opinion, when once
formed, of the spirit of PROSECUTING in
a cause which chances to enlist ones
interest. No other period could pro-
duce such agitation on such question.
Let me give you an example of the
manner in which this campaign is to
be carried on" continued the secre-
tary. at has come to our knowledge
that in the state of Pennsylvania alone
Senator Cameron and ex-Congressman
Sibley have made arrangements to dis
tribute 100000 copies of the Coin
book. They are shipping in those lit
tie books by the car load. OF course,
they will produce tremendous effect.
Cameron and Sibley believe they will
turn the whole state of Pennsylvania
over to free silver. But our side will
not be idle. We are going to have
printing presses at work, too. We will
distribute 100000 copies of sound
money pamphlets in Pennsylvania, 1t
is game two can play at What is
done in Pennsylvania will be done by
both sides in many other states In

Keep the DuckIings Dry.

1t is claimed that the Pekin duck
will thrive well without ponds. II is
true that the ducklings can be more
easily raised away from ponds or
streams than when allowed to have ac-
cess thereto, but this is due to the fact
that most ducklings are Matched with
incubators during the winter season,
when the cold waters of the pond
would chill them and cause loss. Young
ducks will thrive better if they are
kept away from the ponds until they
are well featbered; but despite all
claims in favor of the Pekin duck as
being adapted to dry locations, my ex-
perience is that the adult ducks are
more ontented when they have pond.
Like all aquatic birds, they enjoy the
water, and though they will thrive on
an open field away from water Except
for drinking), yet they give the best re-
suits when they have the privileges of
pond. Farm and Preside.

Green Food for Poultry.

The feeding of green food to poultry
IN summer demands some attention,
says the Farmers Home Journal, espe-
cially if the fowls are confined in the
yards. 1t is usually the custom to
chop green food to fine condition and
place it where the fowls can reach it..
Such practice is the best for the win
Der, but in summer it is saving of la
Dor to use IL spade and take large sod
to the fowls. They can thus pick at it
to advantage, and will be better salts
fed, not ceasing until they have eaten
tops, leaves, stems and roots, as well
as scratching the earth to pieces. Even
clover is given in this manner, and reg
etables need not be cut if they are ac-
ceptable. One thing connected with
feeding green food is that the hens do
not bite the grass. but pull, conse-
quently when they receive green food
they can supply themselves much more
easily when the sod is given. A stock
of clover would simply be pulled about
the yard and be eaten with difficulty,
but If the earth is attached to the roots,
the fowls will easily manage it.

WHEN TO SELL HOGS.
I'm September and October the Pig Sup
ply Usually Short.

=
ply Usually Short.
While prices for hogs fuctuate much,
sometimes when it is difficult to see a
sufficient reason for change, it has
generally been true that prices have
been relatively higher a few weeks in
September and the early part of Octo-
Der. At this time the supply of fat
hogs is usually small The spring
pigs are not yet ready for the market.
Comparatively few fall pigs are
dropped. Most farmers prefer to wait
until they can feed the new crop of
corn before beginning full feeding.
If we may judge of the past, it will
be good policy to have any small fall
pigs and brood sows, which it Is not
desired to retain for breeding pur-
poses, ready for the market at this
time. For years past we have thought
the common practice Of allowing sows
to become quite thin In flesh while
sucking their filters q mistake. If
they are kept in fair flesh they can be
fattened In short time after the pigs
are weaned. In several recent years
such sows would have been sold for as
much by the first of October as could
have been obtained for them at any
date notwithstanding their increase in
weight.
The evidence is strong that the sup
ply of good, fairly heavy hogs is now
small. 1t is quite probable they will
be in good demand as cool weather
comes on. With present indications as
to prices for corn it would seem good
economy to feed with reference to
prompt fattening instead of with tho
desire simply of keeping the hogs in
moderate fesh-a plan of doubtful
economy most generally, except for
breeding animals. Farmer.

THE FARMING WORLD.
TRAPS FOR DRoNES.
An Easy Way of Getting Rid of Useless
Honey Consumers.

An Easy Way of Getting Rid of Useless
Honey Consumers.
Almost any warm afternoon one may
sec numerous large black bees buzzing
about the hives with a noise equal to
more than twice their number of work
ers. These are the drones who toll not,
and are useful only to fertilize the
queen. AS this is necessary but once
In her lifetime, it is evident that by
far the greater part of drone's life is
spent in useless consumption of stores.
Nor is this all; as soon as honey be-
comes scarce in the field the attention
of many of the workers is taken up
with destroying these idlers, and the
working force depleted to that extent,
It is no uncommon thing to see two or
more workers hauling out a drone,
and either executing him or driving
him into exile.
1t is important to save the bees as
much work as possible, and thus econo-
mize their time. That is just what
drone traps are for, and the one here
illustrated is regarded almost univer-
sally as the drone trap for all apiaries.
A close examination of the cut will ex-
plain the method of it's use, think,
appearing as the trap does to the OBJ
server, when in place across the hive
entrance. The back is open sufficient
ly to admit the bees readily, but the
front is closed with strip of perfor-
nted zinc, the perforations of which al
low the worker bees to pass through
