AS many inquiries are made as to
when the season for killing game opens
we publish for the benefit of the gun
ners of this vicinity an act for the pro-
lection of certain game, passed by the

Truisms For WOrkingmen and Farmers.

1.-The way to help labor is to provide
1T with steady work and good wages
and then have those good wages always
paid in good money as sound as the
government, and as untarnished as its
flag"
mo matter what kind of money we
have we can not get it without work
whether it is poor or good-gold or
silver. We can not get one dollar un-
less we have employment for our hands
or heads
"Can the farmer be helped by free
coinage of silver? He can not be
helped because if the nominal price of
grain were to rise through an imitation
OF the currency the price of everything
would rise also, and the farmer would
be relatively no better off than he was
before. He would not get any more
real value for his grain than he gets
now, and would suffer from the gener-
al Generalization which would follow
the free coinage of silver"
"You can not help the farmer by more
coinage of silver; he can only be help
ed by more consumers of his pro-
ducts"
Better thOuand times enlarge the
markets for American products than to
enlarge the mints for the silver pro-
duct of the world"
You can not add value to anything
by diminishing the measure of the
value with which the thing is sold or
exchanged"
''Free silver will not increase the de-
mand for your wheat or make a single
new consumer. You don't get consul
mers through the mint. You get them
through the factories"

The DIVINE NAME.
The Inefiable Word That Is Never spolx,
by Many IsraeIites.

The Inehable Word That Is Never Spoken
by Many Israelites.
The Rev. DIR. Wise, president of the
Hebrew Union college at Cincinnati,
has given his view of the ancient Jew
ish rendering Of the name Of the Deity.
He says that the term Jehovah, =" the
ipetfable tetragrammaton, is never pro-
nourccd by many Israelites. They use
the word "Adonoi," which signifies
'the Lord. " The translatoIs of the
Bible followed this custom, rendering
the word Jehovah" as Lord" T" In
ancient times the Phafisees replaced the
tetragrammaton by Shem. They used
"Shemo," which is also Biblical, as
the sacred name, and this name is yet
retained, to some extent, among the
Jews. But it would appear from pas
sages in the Psalms that Adonoi, or
Lord, for Jehovah was more ancient
even than the times of the Pharisees. II
thus occurs eight times in Psalm lxxxiv.
1t also appears in the book of Exodus,
where Jehovah" had been used in the
original Hebrew. This substitution
would seem TO be Older than any other,
and it is yet common among all Jews.
DIR. Wise says he has found that the
ancient translations testify in favor of
"Adonoi. -
Looking at the English translation of
the Old Testament, ii will be found
that the name Jehovah appears in the
books of Genesis, Exodus, Judges, the
Psalms and Isaiah. 1t is not in the New
Testament New York Sun

them have used it themselves, or in
their families and know from personal

TENNYSON's WOMEN.

The Poet Never localized the Work of the
Wage Farmer.
Tennyson gave the world pictures Of
some of the fairest feminine creations
i'll poetry-winsome maidens, demure
and trus;fUl; womanly women, loyal
ard ccmpaniCnablo; devoted wives, gen.
tie and faithful; noble matrons, loving
and self sacrificing, serving the best in
terests Of home and country.
TennysCn $ conception Of woman and
her sphere may be regarded as rather
old fashioned. He was evidently not in
full sympathy with some of the ad-
vanced notions Of the modern woman.
His burlesque of woman's rights in
THE Princess" has not hurt the cause
of the weaker sex. H6 understood the
right relations Of the man and the wom-
an, and Els uttcrances i'll the closing
passages Ct this poem go to the heart of
the problem. 1t is still true that wom-
ans chief place and crowning glory is
to be queen of the home. There she may
have an unlimited field for usefulness
and exert a farreaching influence for
good if she but realize her opportunities
and improve them. In the household
woman finds her proper sphere and
work.

barnyard may not always supply our
fields with all they need. Some
times we must awaken to the fact
that they need mineral fertilizers,
perhaps but lime, to release fer
tility.
In most regions the farmer seems
content to yet tug away with his half
loads. Let the women take up the
good question, for muddy winters
have certainly kept them prisoners
long enough.
There is much to consider when
comparing our prices with those of "a
generation ago. Production was
never so cheap as to-day, for ma
chinery enables one man to do the
labor of many.
Our stock and our hens will pay
more than the market price for all
the wheat we can feed them. 1t
seems that through them must come
the revolution in prices. We thus
have choice of "niddlemen."
1t would seem that our farmers
should be awakened by the fact that
enormous cargoes of potatoes are i'm
ported every year. These, near a
good market, are more profitable
than either wheat or corn.
If you are not proud that you are
an honest tiller of the soil, sell out
and carry the hod. Better be sue
cessful at that than worry your life
away on farm and end in miser-
able failure. There never was sue
cessful farmer who did not love his
business. Any work becomes drudg-
cry which we do not like.
In seeding corn land let the shocks
be of moderate size, tied we'll at the
top. Sow well up to the shock row,
and lit over the shocks by means
of pole thrust through them. This
row will then be ready for the drill,
and the corn can be removed before
it has done any great damage to the
growing wheat.
One advantage of keeping accounts
with the different kinds of crops and

4 light grain ration should be fed
the weaned colts daily. Give this,
even if they have good pasturage.
Procure good development of bone
and muscle, and the proper ration

Unless a sufficient amount of food
is given the colts to maintain good
growth, what food is given is largely

ton of unthreshed oats, run through
