But if his colors should go down before
the Rothschild forces, under the lead
ership of Sherman, Cleveland and Car
Isle. it would not be the first time in
the history of the world that right
eous cause under noble leader had
met with defeat And freedom shrieked
as Kosciusko FELL was long ago the
song of the poet
Free coinage is the issue now pend
ing. and upon the determination OF
that issue depends not only the well
fare of the people, but the very per-
petuity of our great republic. If
single gold standard becomes univer-
sal. then will labor and capital be laid
under a blighting tribute to the IA
vored few who control the gold. The
partial decentralization of silver by I'M
righteous legislation has already
wrought widespread poverty and dis
tress. and if such legislation is ex-
tended it must overspread the world
with ruin. The greedy syndicate
which new has this great government
py the throat has already shown its
power to control the worlds gold sup
ply. 1t undertook, for the princely
sum OF S1l 200. 900, to protect the Amer
lean treasury and sustain American
credit 1t has carried out its contract.
This syndicate has shown its ability
TO do for the greatest nation on the
face of the earth what it, with its co.
900, 900 of people and 500. 900, 600. 600 of
wealth. was not able to do for itself.
Now. strike down silver entirely as
redemption money and is not the
world at the mercy OF these relentless
holders of the gold? If they should
desire to enhance the value of their
gold By striking down the value of the
products of the people, who could stay
their destructive hands? Government
by the people can not long continue
where luxurious idleness feasts itself
upon the earnings of the toiling
masses = Such a prospect is
enough to arouse everg democrat to
his utmost endeavor to have silver re-
stored to its place in the coinage laws
of our country. Relief can not come
except through the instrumentality OF
the democratic party. 1t has always
been the champion of the rights and
liberties of the people; may it not
prove recreant now"

Guides in Choosing Meat.

Beef. when young, has fine open
grain and good red color. and the fat
should be white. for when more or less
yellow the meat is seldom of the best
Beef, of which the fat is hard and
skinny, and the lean meat a deep red,
with coarse fibers, is of an inferior
quality. and when the meat is old it
can be told by a line of horny texture
running through the meat of the ribs.
Mutton must be chosen by the firm
ness and fneness of the grain. it's
color. and the firm, white fat Lamb
that has been killed too long can be
discovered by examination of the veins
in the neck. These are blush when
the meat is fresh. but green when stale.
In the hind quarter the point to ex-
anime is the knuckle, which is not firm
when the meat is not perfectly fresh.
Vension when young viii have clear
and bright fat, which should be of con
siderable thickness. Partridges have
yellow legs and dark-colored bills
when young. Quail are greatly i'm
proved by wrapping them in very fat

Dynamiting a Lion.

A party of us went out mounted after
lions to try a new scheme Securing a
small dynamite cartridge, we inserted
it in a nice fleshy piece of beef. When
on coming across lion, who seemed
inquisitively inclined and anxious to
make closer acquaintance, we quietly
and very gingerly lowered the tempt
ing morsel in his way, continuing on
our course. This had the desired effect
in stopping the lions progress to enjoy
the repast SO kindly and considerably
provided for him. The party refined up
at a safe distance to watch proceedings
and enjoy the fun. The old lion seemed
to enjoy the delicate attention, and
was chewing away with evident relish,
licking his lips and wagering his very
erect tail, his eyes sparkling with de-
light. when all of a sudden there was
the desired explosion, which blew the
upper part of the brute's head off. fin
ishing him without pain or suffering.
The skin was very fine one, and other
wise uninjured.-Philadel Times.

RATIONS FOR HORSES.
Relative Value of Corn and Oats Estab
lished by Experiments

Relative Value of Corn and Oats Estab-
listed by Experiments
The Utah experiment station has
issued Bulletin No. Sc on the Relative
Value of Corn and Oats for Horses"
The experiment is summed up as fol-
lows:
/. In this experiment with two sets
OF horses. one set fed a grain ration
principally of corn and the other a
grain ration principally of oats, the
horses sustained their weight the bet
ter on the corn ration.
2. The feeding was divided into five
was fed in each set and part of the
time two In every period save one
the corn-fed set did the better.
3. The feeding value of the rations
seemed to vary directly as the guam
tity of digestible matter that each con-
tanned.
4. A nutritive ratio of l to 60 did
better than one of / to GO.
5. To sum up the three experiments,
we find: First, that during the sum
mer, corn and timothy were not so
good as oats, wheat and clover in main
tanning the weight of horses; second,
that during the winter, corn and timo-
thy did as well as oats, clover and
timothy in maintaining the weight of
horses; third, that during the spring
and summer, corn, wheat or bran and
mixed hay produced more grain than
oats, wheat or bran and mixed hay.

RYE FOR PASTURE.
1ts Possibilities as q Grass Substitute Ar
Worth Considering.

Its Possibilities q Grass Substitute Ar
Worth Considering.
If any of our readers anticipate a
shortage of late fall and early spring
pasture it would be well for them to
consider the possibilities of rye as a
substitute for tame grasses. When
breaking up our farms fifteen years
ago, preparatory to seeding them to
tame grasses we made large use of rye,
sowing it in August and September,
pasturing it late in the fall and early
in the spring, and sometimes turning
off in time to get half or two-thirds of
a crop of grain. We do not favor the
growth of rye as crop in itself, be-
ieving that either wheat or barley
will yield more moneys worth, but
when sown as a pasture and as a nurse
crop, SO called, for the tame grasses,
as well as grain crop. we believe it
will pay any man who is short of grass
to SOW rye for pasture.
In sowing rye for this purpose we
would pillow the ground as soon as pos
sible after harvest and harrow down
this land as fast as it was plowed.
This will settle it, prepare better
seed bed, and conserve moisture We
would sow as soon as the conditions
are favora BILE for growth, usually about
the 1st of September, and if we intend
ed the land for pasture would SOW a
peck of timothy seed at the same time.
If the season be favorable this will
afford good deal of pasture in the fall
for any kind of stock as we'll as for
horses and sheep in winter.
Our lambs last winter had picnic
on the Turkish wheat that grew up in
the stubble and it answered the same
purpose as rye. 1t will afford good
deal of pasture in the spring and can
be cut for grain or not as circrm-
stances warrant Eight or ten pounds
of clover seed should be sown in the
spring either on the frozen ground, or,
if the season be dry. as soon as the
frost is out, and covered with smooth.
ing harrow. Not the least advantage
OF this method is that it renders a stand
practically sure.-Indiana Farmer.

How to Keep Cider Sweet

To keep cider sweet insert bent
tube air-tight into bung. with the
other end in pail of water. This will
allow the carbonic acid gas evolved to
pass off without admitting any air into
the barrel. A handy way is TO fill the
cask nearly full to the wooden faucet;
the barrel should be rolled SO the bung
is down. Get ? common rubber tube
and slip Il over the end of TIE plug in
the faucet, with the other end IN the
pail. Then turn the plug SO the cider
can have communication with the pail
After the water ceases to bubble bot
tie or store away.-Farm and Home

The Weak Point In Farming,

The life of farmer has often been
called a life of drudgery. There is no
occupation that has larger ratio of
inspiriting labor to one whose tastes
are. in harmony with rural life. The
weak point in American farming has
been the lack of appreciation Of the
equipments necessary to a successful
career. Too many men have been will
ing to be thieves of the soils resources
that they might swell their bank ac-
counts. To the young man or woman
fairly well educated, there is no more
promising field of enterprise. - Col
