imposed upon. Hence they go at their
work in systematic way and persist in
it to the end. l wish that l could s8y
something that would revive in Farm

influence, that I could enlist the co
operation of those of cur a~gricultur-
lists who have stood aloof heretofore
from their praiseworthy and benefi
cial order, and thus aid in Unshackling

A GOOD PoPULlsr STORY.

During the recent never to be forgot
ten Senatorial contest in Kentucky, ct
the time when Populists Poor and Edg-
ington held the balance of power, it
was thought possible that Jerry P0r-
ter, a commercial traveller and Popu,
list, might be elected. At the U. c. T.
convention, recently held here, Porter
thus gave his experience:

tics, l came mighty near getting into
politics myself-in kentucky. played
'en from the trenches to the noun

and I and Governor Btadley ordered
out the militia and came home. Ard
I've just been thinking whether I'd con-
tinue to drum and stand at lelst some
char c. to go to heaven when | die or
go to hell, sure es the world. I don't
like politics! I don't like to follow any
business in the world that requires me
to stick a knife IN the back of my best
friend, ard aak him to stand and bleed,
while I go aud kiss an enemy On the
front tooth to get his vote! / was in
politics eight months and l walked
over eight thousand miles taking fel,
lows aside TO whisper something to
them and l never told any two men
the same thing. never was honest a
day with myself or any other mar

lost my voice; and I got so that if l

The FARMERS ALLIANCE.

Parties die, principles live on.
What are you doing to help your

Now is the time to push the Alliance
work.
The principles of the Alliance will

Every member Of the Alliance should

Which do you prefer, the principles

About ten years ago, what is known
as the Farmers Alliance had it's origin
in the State Of Texas. 1t was founded
upon such rigid basic principle as com

g~anization spread until it embraced a
a large number Of farmers in this State
and extended to tha Northwest, North

most potent organization that ever ex

States. And had not djssentions arisen

Relying upon the good, common

vote right on all questions submitted to
them on their merit; and, further. to
efectually annihilate the Dernicious

by means of the initiative

lngly practical method of storing fruit.
Trays with siat bottoms, each three feet
square, are supported, one above another,
upon ora. kets that are nailed to pieces Of
upright studding. A succession of this
studding with brackets can extend along
the whole side of the cellar, or upon two
sides if desired. The trays can be made as
deep as desired, and the fruit can be heaped
up little. In this way but small quar-
tity of fruit is kept in mass, and the air
can circulate about each and every apple.
Each tray can be removed to table if it is
desired to look the fruit over for the detec-
tion Of incipient decay, or when getting
ready to pack for market. Such trays will
last fer score of years, and can easily b
made in the home workshop on rainy days

Much more profit may be made in feeding
beef cattle if they are pushed to their ut
most capacity of feeding from birth, and
killed when not more than two years old.
With the smaller breeds probably a year
old would be still better, as those animals
which are born to be small stop growing
early, and no amount of feeding viii enabls
them to rival the breeds Of the same AMI
