Fun In Kentucky.

The Kentucky farce, Candidate
and Platform; or. Who is the Dupe?"
has become positely roaring. After a
tremendous pother and huliabaloo
through which every Postmaster and
gauger was expected to do his duty,
and above which could be heard at
intervals the voice of the Hon. John
Griffin Carlisle protesting against the
doctrines he was proclaiming in 1878.
the gold men proclaimed with a prod
igious shout that they had won. The
silver men were just as confident, and
the Convention was so tumultuous
that the Chairman had to master his
emotion with large jorum of the
wine of the country. After the ball
was over it was seen that two victories
had been won. The gold men had
won. The gold men had won, because
the platform didn't laud the free coin
age of silver, but went back to the
Democratic platform of 1892. The
silver men had won, because Wat Har-
din, an unconquerable bowler for free
silver. was nominated for Governor.
Peans rose from both camps. "Wat
Hardin will stand on the platform"
sang the aureates. s.Wat1l never GO
back on his record" sang the argen-
tines. The Hon. Joe Blackburn put
his foot through the platform with
neatness and despatch. and pranced
over the State as a sort of independ-
ent. free silver candidate for Senator;
and according to reports he has al
ready nearly enough Democratic NOM
inees to the Legislature pledged to
him to elect him; and besides, the
Populists will 60 to him as their Sec
ond choice.
For certain weeks and days Wat
Hardin held his peace. In an evil
hour series of debates between him
and the Hon. Bill Bradley, the Repub-
lican candidate for Governor, was ar
ranged. Wat had hardly mounted the
stump before he began to talk as he
had talked before the nomination.
Like Joe Blackburn. he says he stands |
on the national platform while his op-
ponents say he has hoped off. Here
are the words upon the strength of
which the Louisville Courier-.JournalI
the next day had no editorial article
upon Kentucky politics, but a powerful |
and sympathetic essay upon tall men
and OSCILLATION:
1.-The Convention adopted the ma
tional platform of 1892. and, with no |
save the faith they had in
my political integrity and loyalty to
my party, they named me as their can
didate for Governor. It has been the I
rule of my life, when a DEM
ocratic Convention has named the man |
and made the platforms, to have no
further quarrel with my brother as to
either. and I have not broken 1t in this
instance. Shame upon the base insin-
uation that or any other Democrat
in that Convention will not stand upon
that platform, stand on it untram-
melled, as we see il IA the light of
truth. tradition. and con-

The city taxes for the current year
are now due. 1t is fact that there
isn't sufficient money in the city treas
ury to meet running expenses. and it
is hoped that every one will be espec-

Those on the delinquent list are es-
peciaily charged to come forward and

diately bring suit against all who are
in arrears. So consult your best in
terests by paying promptly.

HOW TO MAKE DA1RYINe PAY.

This was the subject OF paper read
by B. P. Morton, at one OF tho Iowa
Dairymen's Association meetings. In
it he stated that he is milking twenty
nine COWS, and makes 313h pounds Of
butter per COW. His butter is all
shipped to tho cities Of Duluth and
New Orleans, and nets him twenty
four and one-half cents by the year,
an average Of $76.6G per COW. The
food consumed by each COW he esti-
mates to be worth anywhere from $50
to S95, and that the skim milk he re-
ceives pays for all labor. He feeds
ensilage tho year round, pasture in its
season, and grain about seven months
in the year; the grain being barley,
oats and corn in equal quantities, the
whole boing ground together. This
composition is mixed half and half
with bran, and each COW is given o
peck measure full twice day. The
cows have all the fresh, clean water
they care to drink, which is given
them in tho barn. A separator, he
finds, is one of the best Investments u
dairyman can make, claiming that it
will pay to buy ono if only six or
seven good COWS are kept. New York

A Madagascar Plague.

1t was supposed that if not horses
at least mules might be used by tho
French in Madagascar for the trans
port of field guns. From q well-in-
formed source we learn that neither
horses nor mules can live in tho ISL
and, because small insect, locally
called "carapetes," will lodge between
the animal skin and flesh and torture
them to o state of exhaustion. Neither
turpentine nor carbolic acid will avail
against 1t. nor any other substance,
unless perhaps the juice of q tropical
plant called tPourpier Marion, -
which, however, involves O lengthy
treatment, impracticable during a
campaign. In fact, the only animals
available would be zebus Indian ox),
which could be trained in month, or
elephants. Echo de l'Afmee.

IMPROVEMENT OF BEES.

1t is argued that by exercising the
principle of selection the different
strains of bees may be bred up just as
we'll as horses and cattle and the type
of bee greatly improved. For in
stance, suppose we have six hives of
bees, the result from each may be
very different. At the beginning of
the honey season we place upon each
"super." Two of our six stocks
start ahead with will, and fill their
''supers" as fast as they are replaced.
The other four perhaps refuse to
enter, or after oil only partially fill
their "supers. Then they may each
swarm two or three times, thus furn-
ishing us with an increase from which
we hope to have great results in the
future.
But our apiary has not been in
creased with type of bee whose in
stincts lead them to amass honey far
in excess of their needs, but with u
type whose nature impels them to
start new colonies, and thus this type
will be strongly impressed upon the
bee life of the future in our apairy.-

CALLED SHOULDERS.

Calls of all kinds are best treated Us
soon MS they occur, or they may be
difficult to heal, especially when the
gall is on the top of tho shoulder, as
in this case the bruising OF the mus
Gle may cause interior Inflammation
that may result in an abscess difficult
to heal. Hot lamentations of the part,
followed by poultice when the skin
is not broken, but only q swelling,
with soreness, is to be seen. When
the skin is broken the best application
is calomel busted on tho raw place.
This will form q protecting crust,
under which tho sore will heal; but
the horse should rest until the skin is
formed over it. Then some protec-
tion should be given by q cushion
over tho tender part. Ill-itting col
lars or harness will surely produce
these sores, and therefore should not
be used. New York Times.

Whenever O horse has to stand still

keted to prevent chilling, whether
profusely sweating or merely warm.

BERRY BULLETIN,

On an acre of rich, we'll cultivated
land there may be grown five hundred
dollars worth of berries, says M. A.
Thayer, Sparta, Wis. Every enter
prising farmer, with O little effort,
has within his reach continuous sup
ply of healthful fruits. On every farm
large, luscious berries may be grown at
the rate of two hundred bushels per
acre. If less is produced, We may
look for the following causes, and
briefly suggest remedy:
First, land deficient in fertilizer, or
plant food. Apply fine composted
manure, plow under and top dress.
Also ashes broadcast.
Second, improper preparation OF
soil. Plow deeply and harrow until
fine, light and mellow. Extra prep
aration makes plant food more avail
able.
Third, varities not adapted to your
soil and climate. Use only such as
has been we'll tested in your locality,
or recommended by responsible par
ties.
Fourth, poor plants. Buy only
best hardy, vigorous plants from re-
sponsible growers. Never set poor
plants.
Fifth, careless setting of plants.
Never expose plants to sun aud wind
before setting. Have roots we'll spread,
and fine dirt firm about them.
Sixth, too many plants, in hill or
row. Preserve only strong, vigorous
plants, give each room to develop and
perfect its fruit. Prune severely.
Seventh, imperfect fertilization.
There is sex in plants. Pistilates fe-
male) must have staminates set with
them to insure good crops.
Eighth, neglect in cultivation. The
ground at all times should be fine.
mellow and free from weeds.
Ninth, no protection. Much in sum.
mer with coarse manure, grass or
green clover, in winter by suitable
protection against extreme cold. In
the Northwest, laying bush berries
down and covering with dirt.
Tenth, frost and drouth. The most
difficult to overcome. Berry fields
we'll cultivated are several degrees
warmer than uncultivated fields, there.

Retain mulching as late as possible on
Strawberries in spring.
Damage by ordinary drougths may
be prevented by summer mulch and
frequent cultivation and heavy mulch

LOSING USE OF LAND.

Small fruit growers ought to fertil-
ize their land thoroughly, and when
this is done they should keep it al
ways producing something. If the
strawberry patch is running out,
either the red or black cap raspberry
can be planted between the rows. In
this way the year after the strawberry
plantation is cultivated under the
raspberry canes will be in full bear
ing. 1t is tho same with the larger
fruits. A young apple or pear orch
ard will grow Strawberries, raspber-
ries and blackberries nearly as well as
if tho orchard were not planted until
it gets fully into bearing, Boston

BLANKETS FOR HORSES.

The horse stable should be so built
that its occupants will be comfortably
warm nt oil times in winter, and cool
in summer. Stable blankets should
not be required on even the coolest
days, as the closing OF the ventilators
during the severest storms should
keep in sufficient heat. But it is
cruelty to take horse out of warm
stable into freezing winds, and neither
blanket him nor permit him to keep
himself warm by the rapid exercise
which he naturally desires. When
ever horse has to stand still outdoors
in winter weather he should be closely
blanketed.
Wool is the lest material for blank
cts, thin in summer, thick in winter,
but it is often desirable to have some
cotton or linen threads one way Of the
fabric, to prevent tearing and shrink
ing.
The blanket should be fitted to the
size and the form of the horse, and
should have sufficient straps to keep
it close and snug to his body which
will prevent it sliding to tho ground
on ono side to be trampled 'and torn,
instead of protecting the horse.
A rubber or oil cloth rain blanket
should cover the woolen one in cold
wet weather. and be worn alone in the
warmer rains both winter and summer.
Both blankets are useful during win.
ter storms, for horses which are in
motion, adding an extra wooden blan.
ket whenever the horse has to stand
still.
