4 Word About Cheap Goods.

We keep them in some lines. Our
only excuse for keeping them is that some
people cannot be persuaded that high
grade goods is the cheapest in the long
run; for instance, we have razors as low
as fifty cents, but no one would care to
take the chance of getting good one at
that price when we have others that are
fully warranted and can be returned if
not satisfactory. 1t may not be generally
known but there is hardly an article that
we sell that is not made in three or more
grades and they all look alike. How are
you going to tell then what you are get
ting? The only way is to deal where
everything that is guaranteed can be re-
turned if unsatisfactory and your money
refunded, and that place is

Instructions farnished by the Director Of
the Indiana station


the Indiana station-
The following bulletin on thir sub
ject IL issued by the Purdue university
agricultural experiment station:
AT this season of the year cattle are
suffering from the persistent biting OF
the horn fly. This fly. which Is smaller
than the house fly, congregates in col
onies about the base of the horns, along
up the back and sides, at tender points
about the TANKS and udder. and on the
belly.
This fly sucks blood from cattle, and
so irritates them as no doubt 10 reinrd
the laying on of flesh with beef cattle.
and the production of milk by mich
cows.
Many substances have been recon-
mended TO keep away the flies. The
Mississippi Experiment station recon-
mends two parts cottonseed oil or Ash
oil and one part pine tar. This station
applied this mixture TO $50 head, at n
total cost for material OF $3.50.
Kerosene emulsion has also been used,
spraying it over the cattle with n KNAPP
sack sprayer. The flies are killed by the
emulsion in II touches them. The
emulsion may be made by mixing at the
rate OF one pint OF soft-soap Tor one
fourth pound of hnrd-soap dissolved in
boiling water) and one pint Cf kerosene
in IS pints OF water, thoroughly whipped
and churned together.
At the Indiana experiment station,
we have tried different substances 20
keep away the flies. None OF these were
effective over two or three days. We
have tested n preparation called "Shoo
Fly" which answered very well for two
days. The main objection TO this is IL,
cost, so cents quart. or $3.50 per gal
lon In three. five and ten gallon cans,
One quart will do for one application
on about so animals. We have. how
ever, secured fully as satisfactory re-
suits by using quart Of fish oil in which
was mixed about two tablespoonfuls OF
crude carbolic acid. Fish oil is 60 cents
| per gallon in Lafayette. These liquids
are applied on the body with fat paint
brush about four inches wide. Fish
oil is especially disagreeahle 10 flies. and
is probably largely used in the special
preparations sold at high prices. There
is one objection 10 using any form oi
tar. in that II makes the hair sticky
which accumulates dirt, and SO gives II
bad appearance.
Stockmen would do well TO break uT
the manure in the pasture whenever
possible, as the flies deposit their eggs
in IL, from which the young are devel
oped III the manure is gathered up OF
broken TO pieces within day or so, and
IL remedies 10 keep OFT the flies are APP
piled TO the cattle, the insects will dis
appear only in the season.

Khsrs IL . Poor Outlook for the DiS
rupted Democracy.


On the surface of sffairn the indlca-
tions are altogether favorable TO Mo
Kinley's election. Let the people look
at the agitation in the democratic party
and read the list of men among It's hith-
@rto recognized lenders who have re-
pudiated its platform and. IL the list OF
those who have repudiated its candi-
dates is not quite so large, there need
be no serious concern on the subject.
II there is great anxiety here, let them
compare il with those people OF prom
inence on the other side who have re-
fused TO indorse their party and support
its candidates. and they may well be re-
assured. The trend is very much to the
side of "sound money"
There are people who complain that
the republicans do not yield enough to
the democrats i'm this ''sound money"
contest; they would have the republic
ans concede something of their views on
subordinate issues to the democrats
who are disposed 10 aid them in elect
ing their ticket. The republicans have
acted in this way TO the extent of dimin-
ishing their party manifestations In
their press and their public speeches.
| We are inclined TO think that those who
expect Of them that they snail go furth-
er to relax their party organization ask
too much. 1t is 10 be remembered in
the outset that lis the republicans who
arc right on this currency question.
while the democrats are wrong. Sure
ly. under these conditions, the parties
are not on equal terms, which would
be the natural preliminary TO equal con-
cessions. Neither are the republicans
at all in that divided state that are the
democrats. The one is n compact par
w, as far rs we see IL in this portion
Il the country. at least; the other is dis
trusted and divided. The republicans
were the greatly preponderant party
in the outset. II the democrats have
lost some of their natural advantages
through their divisions. IL gives them no
equitable claim upon the republicans
for sacrifice OF advantages which that
party still holds. The party that has
| kept the faith should have the beneht
OF IL over the party that has forsaken
il. We say this treating the subject
from a party standpoint.-Boston Her

nail rough boards. as shown in the cross
secvtion in Fig. /. This will hold the
Leaped-up earth in place till the sod Is
applied, and thereafter will give great
firmness to the terrace until nature so
compacts all the materials as to make
slipping impossible, as shown in Fig 2.
There is shown in this cross-section
mn excellent point in applying turf TO
Terraces. The end OF the roll is begun ON
the level top of the terrace, and is carried
out over the edge and down the slope,
thus giving no open crack at the upper
edge. where an opening is specially
detrimental to the well-beiDg OF ter
race. As sharp and distinct an edge can
be made in this way as where the oper-
ing comes nj the edge, while the results
of the former practic" are far superior.
