cure for Dysentery in Fowls.

The disease among fowls known an
dysentery Is individual in it's work, and
does not apread. TIE sick fowl be-
comes droopy, stands about with head
and tail lowered and passes a dark,
grcenish and yellow discharge, very
thin and watery. Treatment OF Tins
disease Is at first camphorated spirits
that is. camphor dissolved in whisky.
Take tablespoonful and put IL in half
glass OF water and give the sick fowl
a tablespoonful every four hours. The
second day dissolve little sulphate of
copper (blue stone) about the size II n
bullet. in a quart OF water, and let the
sick fowl drink all IL will. During
treatment feed soft food seasoned with
little red pepper. A cure is generally
effected In three days with this treat

Superior To Horses In All Kinds OF Or

There can be no question of the SUI
periority of mules over horses in all
kinds OF farm work in this country,
says the Canton (Miss.) Times. This

full farmers. IL is useless for MS 10 di-
late on this subject, for IL is a fact too
well established to admit OF discussion.
Our contemporary says; The horse is
being rapidly displaced by electricity,
bicycles and steam. and his production
must necessarily be restricted, as hut
few, and those of the finest and for
special use, will be required in the near
future.
The mule. however, will Tor an un-
known .ime in the future b" required
for farm work. which. is the most eN-
tcnsive OF all productive industries, and
must bring remunerative prices. IL hns
always appeared 10 MS that IL would be
a profitable business. The prejudice
against home raised stock, SO unbound
ed, has been one impediment due. how
ever, i'm great measure to the want of
proper production Of first-class stock,
from the same sectional causes which
hold us back in so many other indus
tries, viz, want of thorough business,
care of production, and habits Of gentle
manly leisure.

ported mules i'm the last 30 years TO
buy every farm in every southern state.

M'KINLEY'S PART IN THE TARIFF LAW.
Before the sense of the committee was taken
on the gold plank. Mr.. La Toilette, of Wiscon-
sin. arose to a personal explanation. He directed
attention to statement made by Mr.. Teller
that he himself and Mr. Gear, of Iowa. had per-
formed the principal work in the preparation
of the tariff law Of 1890 which had been popu-
larly credited to Mr.. Mckinley, and said that
while the members of the committee discharged
the duties inrusted to them faithfully. 1t not
true that any man on earth had prepared
as much OF the measure as Mr. Mckinley, but
that his ideas and spirit dominated everything
In connection with the bill. when the sub-com-
mittees were preparing the schedules and before
they Were submitted to Mr. Mckinley, who led
in all the discussion with the same rare ability
which enabled him, also. when it was taken into
the House. to pass 1t through that body without
amendment. Such statements Senator Teller
made, Mr.. La Toilette continued. an in
justice to Mr.. Mckinley. They had been con-
tinually repeated. and it was time now that the
country should be acquainted with the real facts
connected with the formulation of the bill which
bore Major McKinley's name.
Mr.. La Toilette then addressed himself specil-
cally to the money plank and moved to amend the
last section by striking out the words now in
circulation" that II should read that "all our
silver and paper currency must be maintained
at parity with goli." etc Mr. La Toilette
argued that a wrong construction might be
placed upon the plank as Il stood. He feared
that it might be construed a pledge to con-
tract the circulating medium so that no more
silver should be coined or paper currency be
issued. II would hurt the Republican party in
States where II would be hard pressed. although
il would make no difference in his own State OF
Wisconsin
Mr. Lodge. of Massachusetts. opposed the
amendment. He did not wish to be placed In
the position OF encouraging any further coinage
Of silver by the Government. Arguments In
similar strain were made by Mr.. Merriam. or
Minnesota, and Mr. Patterson, Of Illinois. Mr.
Gear Of Iowa, and Mr.. Brewer, Of Michigan
supported the amendment. The chairman. Mr.
Foraker Of Ohio agreed with Mr.. La Toilette
that the words should be stricken out and this
was accordingly done. The vote or the adoption
of the gold plank amended was then ordered
end II passed-yeas. 40; nays II. The negative
vote was cas-: by the foregoing silver men, who
favored the Teller substitute with the addition
of the member from Oklahoma. The discussion
on the remainder Of the platform was general
but O. no special interest. and II was adopted
without division a number Of the silver men hav-
ing already absented themselves from the meet
ing
