In his Omaha speech Mr..
Bryan planted himself squarely
on a platform Of courtesy and
honorable discussion. He said:
If you speak in compliment

you every good word you say
of me l can repeat of my op-
ponent, Major Mckinley. IF
You tell me that you believe
that I homes ly indorse the

believe my opponent indorse
the principles in the platform
he stands upon, and | tell you
that any man who charges the
American people of another
party with being Anarchists
and disloy al American citizens
ISLANDERS the bravest people
who have ever lived.
This is the best answer that
tan be made to the campaign
Of vilification, denunciation,
abuse and impugning of mot
ives with which the Democrat
ic candidate has been assaulted
by the syndicate organs from
the day of his nomination.
Mr.. Bryan has not assaulted
and gives notice that he will
not assail either the character
or the motives Of his opponent.
He publicly credits Mckinley
with personal honesty.
The young Democratic can

scientious decision. He is a

properly when born, if the

tongue also helps by clearing
the throat. In cases of drown

pulling on the tongue ten or

CURE FOR HICCoUGHs.
Prof. Lepine Discovers That
Pulling the Tongue Is
Etfectual.

In the last year a umber CT
cases of prolonged and frequent
ly fatal hiccougbs have been
reported in the newspapers.
Frequently without any warn
ing persons of good health have
started to hiccough, and have
kept it up for weeks without
cessation until the exhaustion
proved fatal. The physicians
in charge have tried many
things as remedies, but as a
rule failed to accomplish any
thing toward controlling the
disease, says the New York
Journal.
Prof. Lepine Of Paris, France,
has at last discovered a cure.
A young soldier had contract
ed the disease and was rapidly
losing strength. The new rem
edy consisted in pulling the
tongue several times a minute,
keeping it outside the mouth,
and then letting it slip back
again. This faithful kept up
produced 81 cure inside Of
twenty minutes.
Hiccough, when continued,
is a serious disease of the re-
spiratory center in the brain.
These rhythmical fractions on
the tongue seem to affect the
respiratory center in peculiar
way. There is a bunch Of nerves
at the base of the tongue which
communicate directly with the
nerve cehters in the brain.
When The brain center is IN.
active it may be stimulated by
pulling the tongue. It is mac.

! ABOUT THE FARM J!
An. Adherence to stupidity.

Inc low price of he this winter is
a stimulus for many feeders to hold
their hogs, by simply feeding enough
ana but little more than the nIainte-
lance ration, in the uncertainty and
anticipation of better prices in the
future-in spite of the facts that have
been published by practical expert
mentors and feeders, that the cost of
maintenance without grain is the thief
OF all profits. In late institutes that I
attended, says Theodore Louis in
Hoord's Dairyman, 1 could plainly see
by their questions that many were
drifting in that direction, the argu-
ment being the low price of grain, and
that the hogs would grow somewhat
in age and height. And dairymen were
no exceptions to the rule, thinking
the cheapness of their py-products
would enable them above all others to
carry their hogs during the winter
without expense, as though the hogs
could be stored on shelves, forgetting
ever. that shelve process, either in
store or farm, is a mighty consumer
of profits One hundred pounds of
skim and buttermilk are worth or
can be made to bring, from 90 to %
cents, and often more if intelligently
fed under favorable conditions, and
when hogs are comfortably housed and
cared for. Or they can be made a
W pun - ~ w dSlt.
When feeding stuffs are high-priced
and the product equally high, we find
the other extreme, to put the product
on the market before it is finished,
when profit could be added by contin-
ued feeding. Another fact is that just
now it is next to impossible to buy
hogs as stockers, everyone in posses
sion seems bound to stuff the cheap
grain and milk through them. If SO.
let us do it in such way that each
parting day registers on the scales
live weight gain for so many pounds
of milk and grain. 1t seems hard to
believe in this day and age that there
is a host of feeders who still adhere
to the storing process. 1t may be adj
MISSILE to prolong the fattening
process where one has lot of perish
ing food articles, as roots and potatoes,

Shredded Corn Fodder.

E. B. Watson discusses shredded corn as a
marketable product in Wallace's Farmer, and
finds the difficulty to be in curing it. He
says: .'Then again, last year all feed was
very scarce and high-priced, and everybody
cut up corn, but instead of buying fodder
cutters as they had done before, it was
worked up by shredders or threshers. These
machines went from farm to farm, and !
think at least two-thirds of the farmers of
this neighborhood had work done by them.
If anything was said about the fodder heating
or spelling the men who were running the
machines would say: Leave it alone; don't
touch it, and it will come out all right But
did it? Only one neighbor reported Gus
cess while all the rest had more or less dam
age one man losing practically all that was
shredded What does this show? First, that
the thing can be done; one man succeeded, so
there is way out. But it also shows that the
shredded fodder is hard to cure, and that the
average farmer will make failure of it.
'In considering the question of the future
market of shredded fodder it is proper to con-
slider the abilities of the producer, and not
confine ourselves simply to questions con-
corning the material"

The smutty-wheat Snap.

Farm, Stock and Home has been
continuing it's Investigations of the
smutted wheat matter, and has found
something that will certainly interest
all wheat growers, and may possibly
discomfort some wheat buyers. 1t is
not necessary to describe the process
of cleaning smutty wheat, any further
than to say that the latest process is
to wash it on a screen by water
thrown against it with considerable
force. After washing it is elevated
through hot air. that dries it in tran
sit and delivers it in prime condition
for milling. In fact, sample of pre-
viously smutted wheat, graded ''re-
jected," that had been washed, was
shown to good judges alongside of a
sample of No. 1 northern, and the re
jected' was unanimously voted the
best, the judgment being on merit
alone, the judges knowing nothing of
the history of either sample; and this
would be the result in nearly every
case, for it is the almost invariable
rule that smutty wheat is otherwise
q strictly prime article. The cost of
the process does not exceed half a
cent q bushel, and is probably much
less; but that the cost, whatever 1t is,
is more than made up by the improved
condition Of the treated wheat is re-
vealed by the sequel.
1t was soon demonstrated that wash
ing wheat to remove smut, and the
subsequent treatment given it, put
it in a better condition for milling
than former processes; it removed all
grit and dirt from the berry, made
its grinding easier on the rolls. and
sfmplified subsequent processes OF
manufacture. So great were the adj
vantages and so small the cost in re-
lation to theml that all, wheat in
some mills is now treated the same as
the smutted, and 1t will be done in
all mills as soon as the necessary ia
cilities can be provided. The plain
English of this is that it is practically
a matter of Indifference to the miller
whether wheat is smutted or not, but
financially it makes a deal of differ
ence to him. and therefore he is on
the alert for smutted wheat, the stencil
Of which seems to offend his nose, but
the price of which rejoices his selfish
worldly soul with exceeding great joy
