ed to mingle with the harness horses.
The Trakehner horses have been bred
with great care and purity upon the
same lands for ITO years. One great adj
vantage they possess is that they are
heavy enough to serve the farmer as
general purpose horses, while he breeds
them for large carriage teams.

Galloway Robes.

just having killed an immense bull
buffalo and SEN the meat to Helena to
be sold for Christmas dinners makes me
think more forcibly than ever that the
Galloway is to take the place of the ex-
tinct buffalo. Having in the ten years
between 1873 and 1888 tanned nearly
200, 900 buffalo hides into buffalo robes,
or more than any other man, living or
dead, l think l know whereof l speak
when l say the Galloways and their
grades furnish robes that are equal to
the famous buffalo robes of years ago.
Any one a tar them equal to the
best Indian tanning. The squaws did
that work entirely. On the plains wher-
ever tho hunt was going Oh the squaw
at once stretched out the robe ON four
poles quite tight, and in freezing wealth
er they were allowed to freeze over
night. Then in the morning early the
squaWs would stand on the hide with
their chipping tool, and with a quick
sharp stroke make the chips fly
like a c:,rpenter with his plane.
In about one hour the hide was
ready for Ghe grease. They smeared
On any kind on the flesh side. Then they
lIC.stened owe with water and rolled it
up Tor an holr OF two. Then they would
fasten a green hide rope on a stout stake
driven in the ground, or q tree, about
four feet from the ground, and fasten it
again at the bottom, making the rope
tight. Then grasp the hide with both
hands and saw back and forth for a
time; then stretch and hold over a fire
i'll tho lodge for a few moments; then at
the 1ope again, and SO OH until perfectly
dry, soft and white.
The Galloways. like the buffalo, are
prime for robes only in winter months,
being best in November, December and

The question that is sgitsting the
minds OF the democratic politicians is
whether or not President Cleveland is
really after third term.
or course Mr.. Cleveland himself main

which has been general for some months,

Business.

According to Dan's Rerjelr of last
Saturday the volume of business
hrinks, as is natural in August, and
the shrinkage seems rather larger
than usual because transactions in
July were somewhat inflated for that
month Some industries are doing
more than ever before in August, and
the prospects for fall trade is good in
others, although much depends on
The crops, and the outcome is less
clear than spectators on either side
are disposed to admit. Industrial
troubles have not entirely ceased, but
during the past week have become
much less threatening.
Published explanations of the large
exports of gold have been highly in
teresting, but the one fact which
counts is that the syndicate has not
prevented exports, as it evidently
might have done, and that fact is in
terpreted in opposite ways. Some
think the bankers are assured of a
turn in foreign exchange very soon,
while others infer that the light ex-
ports of produce now, and the proba-
bility of light exports for two months

a striking indication of the revival
Of the interest in agriculture in this
county is the fact of the establish
ment in this county within the past
few years. and the successful main
tenance OF three agricultural socie-
ties
This Year The Hancock county fair
association gives its fourth annual
exhibition at Wyman Park, Els
worth; the Hancock county agricul
tural society gives it, third at Noun
tain Park. Blaehin, and the Northern
Hancock coGAty agricultural society
gives It's third at Amherst.
Besides these three leading exhibit
tions, there are minor ones 10 be
given at 01iand and Eden.
All this certainly suggests strong
interest in affairs agricultural in this
section, and the fact is a most crafty
ing one to recognize. From the ex-
hibits made each year it is clear that
improved machinery and methods are
continually being applied to the con-
Quoting Of farming, and science, rather
than rule O thumbs, is the guiding
star.
An inspiration to farmers all over
the State is the work of the present
State board of agriculture, so ably
carried on under the efficient direc-
ton Of the secretary of the board, B.
Walter Mex zen.
The institutes held during the fall
and winter throughout the State. I'M
der the auspices of the board have
proved OF great practical value. The
oranges are another important phase
of farming; they promote not only
the interest Of farming, but also the
soeialslife of the communities in which
they are established. and are undoubt-
eddy potent factor in the revival of
interest in farming.
The renewed interest of the farm
ing community in its vocation deserves
TO be heartily recognized by llother
pursuits industrial, commercial and
the mercantile. and in this section il
is safe to say that the dependence of
all other industries upon that of farm
ing is fully appreciated.
No organizations within the county
are more deserving Of earnest and
hearty support by all the people,
their object is worthy. their exhibits
are interesting, and the general effect
is always an inspiration to better
work, better results and better lives

Many a reader has made merry over
the story of steam and sweat baths the
Indians Of this country used to prepare
by plunging redhot stones into vessel
Of water and placing it beneath pa
tient, who, wrapped in blanket, was
sweated half to death before he was re-
leased. Yet the learned physicians Of
the world are just now discovering that
nothing is so efficacious on general prin-
ciples for everybody as the steam sweat
bath, prepared in manner very little
different from the red mans way. The
pores of civilized mans skin are checked
up by lint from his clothing as well as
by the dead scales
The steam sweat bath apparatus is
merely box large enough for the bather
to sit in comfortably with his head stick
ing out. Underneath him is pan of
boiling water, kept hot by a gas jet or a
spirit or oil lamp. In this box, shut
tight for 10 minutes to half an hour, the
bather remains. At the end of that time,
streaming with perspiration, he plunges
into bath tub Of cold water. He does
not stay there a minute, but jumps out
and rubs himself briskly off. No matter
how tired he was before, he feels like a
new man.
The steam bath is an essential part Of
athletic training among football and
other teams of England Last year it
was introduced into the Pennsylvania
university by Professor Bryan, who
trained the athletic boys. The result
was the Pennsylvania students gained
sweeping athletic victories on many
fields. 1t was said that one could tell
the minute he laid eyes on the sweat
bath man the difference between him
and men not thus treated. The bath
looses and dislodges the sourf skin and
let's the true skin underneath shine out
warm, pink and bright There was a
deadness in the skin, lack luster in the
eye of the students not subjected to the
vapor treatment that showed them to be
out of condition compared with the
Pennsylvania boys.

Now that the legislature is in session,
the voice of the ballot reform crank is
heard in the land, Philadelphia, in
addition to dime museums and other
institutions for the public display of
cranks, has ballot reform association,
which, during the recesses between
legislative sessions, busies itself in
devising changes TO be made in the
Baker ballot law. 1t would seem that
body of men capable of proposing laws
for enactment by the legislature, ought
to have sufficient sense and good judg-
ment to know just how their proposed
laws would work in actual practice
Ability to frame a law supposes the abil
ity to understand its weak points in ad.
vance, and to strengthen them. The
original Baker ballot law was discussed
; by the whole state, for several months
before its passage. The old law was a
good law, and the new law was passed to
paoify some political cranks who, being
in the minority at every election, felt sure
that the form of voting, and not the mum
ber Of ballots cast on either side, had ac
eompllshed their defeat The Baker Law
worked well. Itgave each voter the privi
leee Of ca ting his vote as he wished, i
he bad sufficient intelligence to under
staud the law readily. Some, however
failed to do this, and many mistakes wer,
made which threw out votes on techni
lUies. The next session of the legisla
ture brought another demand from tn,
ballot reformers, and in obedience thereto
thelaw was further amended. Now more
changes are to be asked, and in the nam,
OF a free ballot and fair count we pro
test against further tinkering with tn,
law. The voters should not be perpetu
ally perplexed with new kind of ballot
at every election. The election boards
also haYe got used to the present law, t,
some degree, and ought not to be expected
TO study up and familiarize themselve
with new law at every election, if the,
are to be compensated by $l.5O a day. Ou
legislature has better business requiring
its attention than tinkering with the elec
tion law. H.s.t t
