of the person or the goverbment issu-
ing it that its value should be stead.
fastly maintained, the less confidence
there Is in such promises the more rap
idly the money will circulate from
hand to hand. This result is due alone
to the fact that men sometimes, IL not
always, are dishonest enough to trans.
fer their worst property into the hands
of others, even In payment Of debts,
and to reserve the best for their own
use. This Is all there Is In the Cele-
brated "Greshsm law" about which 80
much has been said Every sovereign
government has found It necessary to
Countersct this tendency Of the people
to defrsud each other, by positive stat
utes to regulate the coinage and value
of money, and to compel them to &C.
cept and use such coined money at a
fixed legal value In the payment Of
debts. Such compulsory laws are
called legal tender laws, which are
equally binding on all the people.
These laws properly assume that
debt is created in every transaction Of
trade and In all dealings that include
the right Of compensation In money,
whether In the nature of contracts or
damages. In every such transaction
the relation of debtor and creditor is
regulated by the contract between the
parties, or by the law where there Is no
actual contract, and the money in
which the debt Is to be paid Is pre-.
scribed and fixed, as to its value, by
statute law. The creditor Is forced by
law to accept compensation for his
debt in the money thus prescribed.
That Is the law of redemption of debts
that is called the law of illegal ten
der" All money that is included In
this classification by the supreme
power of the government ia equal In
value, without respect to the material
of which it is composed. 1t pays all
debts, and, 10 all transactions where
compensation is due, debts are created
between the people, so that the legal
tender laws are the actual laws of re-
demption that cover the whole field of
the usefulness Of money. In such
country, controlled by such laws, all
legal tender money is Of equal value
legally, and there is no cheap or In
ferior money to which the Gresham
law can apply. In such q state, one
kind Of full legal tender money cannot
drive another sort into retirement from
circulation. This answers the Objec-
tion that the coinage Of silver will
drive gold out Of circulation In our
country II they are both made legal
tender by statute law. And this
answer Is pr ven to be true by our ex-
perience during the whole period Of
our existence as q government. Not
one authentic fact can be stated to
show that IN our whole history full
legal tender silver dollars have ever
driven full legal tender gold coins into
retirement.-From Senator John T..

It was Ingalls, who explained that IL
his course was VsclllatinR one, it was
justifisble because Republicspism had
been changed around so much and
80 often In the last few years
that q man had to be Vscillsting
in order to follow the party. 10 1890
the party was loud In its prOteststions
Of friendship for silver. The Kansas
State platforms and all the district
platforms read that way. The strong
eet one of the district platforms was
that on which Hallowell ran in his
effort to defeat Jerry Simpson. AS

Corn il used more than anything
else in feeding poultry, because it is
the handiest feed; but if we will lay
in good supply of other things
where they will be equally handy.
we will soon get in the habit of
using them-to our advantage and
profit.
An orchard makes an ideal feed
ing ground for poultry, as there are
more insects to be found there than
almost anywhere else. Thus the
orchard may be made to serve the
double purpose of fruit production
and poultry range, and it is not
easy to say which will pay the bet
ter.
Cleanliness and good feeding will
go long way toward preventing
contagious diseases among fowls,
but if these should get footing it is
better TO kill all the fowls as soon as
attacked, for it does not pay to fool
with sick chicken, often. Then
disinfect the premises thoroughly.
1t may be possible that your fowls
are not doing well because too close
ly confined. The food which chick
ems pick up for themselves, and the
exercise which they get while pro-
curing it, will undoubtedly keep
them in better health than any
possible system of feeding wholly in
their coOps.
No lice will remain if a pound of
sulphur is burned in the poultry
house, as the gas evolved will de-
stroy all insect life. After stopping
up all the cracks closely, place hot
pan upon two bricks, pour the sui
phur on the pan, get away as quick
ly as possible, and shut the door
Leave it thus for at least an hour,
and both lice and disease germs Will
be destroyed.
Do not take young ducks from the
nest until they are "A hours old.
They may then be put in flocks of
20 or 30 in a low pen, on a grassy
spot, made movable from place to
place, for it will soon become filthy.
Their roosting place must be tight
and well covered.
If a closely sheared sheep
skin or piece of flannel lined sack
ing be tackled to frame so that
young ducks can crawl under it and
keep warm at night they will have
no use for mother hen; all the use
they have for a mother is to cover
them. This can be easily fixed on a
suitable frame.
Ducks must never be without a
plentiful supply of water for their
thirst seems insatiate. They seem
never to sleep, but will go to the
drinking vessels many times during
the night. Milk, sweet or sour, is
as good for young ducks as for
chickens.
A duck is no epicure, and will
readily devour anything which
comes within reach, and are likely
to make havoc among the flowers or
the vegetables; but two foot fence
will confine even grown ducks, and
it is surely no disadvantage that
they have appetites for such wide
range of food.
Although so fond and so well
suited to the water, until they are
feathered out young ducks are very
susceptible to the i'll effects of damp
ness, and should not only be kept
out of the dew and rain, but should
not be allowed to go to the stream
nor the pond for swim. The chief
disease among them is cramps, from
dampness.

Taking for a basis the common
COW, a single cross with a good bull
will often make the cross difference
between loss and profit in raising
the resultant calf. The line be-
tween profit and loss in growing
stock is not very difficult to cross,
especially to the side of loss.
If one has not caught up with the
methods which will enable him to
get his cattle quickly ready for
market, he would better begin to
study them at once. Advanced
practices in stock feeding are max
ing it possible to turn off stock
thoroughly finished at a much
earlier age than was once the case.
