THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER y, 1896.

Senator Palmer and General Buck
ner were officially notified of their
nomination at Louisville, KY, last
Saturday. Senator Donelson Caffery,
made the speech notifying Senator
Palmer, and Col. John r. Fellows, OF
New York discharged the similar duty
by General Buckner. The meeting
was held in the Auditorium which
seats four thousand people and ii was
crowded.
The following messages were re.
ceiyed from President Cleveland and
Secretary Carlisle:
"BUzzARD's BAY, September IL.
"Hon. w. -. BYNUM:
II regret that l cannot accept your
invitation to attend the notification
meeting on Saturday evening. AS a
Democrat devoted to the principles
and integrity of my party, l should be
delighted to be present on an occasion
SO significant, and to mlngle with
those who are determined that the
voice Of true Democracy shall not be
smothered, and insist that its glorious
standard shall be borne aloft as of old
in faithful hands"
"WAsHINGToN, September IL.
"Hon. w. d. BYNUM:
"Your telegram inviting me to at
tend the meeting at Louisville to-day
has been forwarded me at this place,
and l greatly regret my inability to
accept. The conservative and patrio-
tic declarations of the indianapolis
convention on the public questions
involved in the pending contest and
the high character of its nominees
cannot fail to arouse the real Demo
cratic sentiment of the country and
command the hearty support of all
who sincerely believe in the preserva-
ton of the public honor, the public
peace and the stability and value OF
the currency used by our people.
81 am proud to take my stand with
the old-fashioned Democrats who have
refused to abandon their honest con-
victions in order to form an unnatural
alliance with political and social
organizations whose purposes are
dangerous to the country, and wholly
inconsistent with the fundamental
principles of our party, and l pledge
to you and your associates such sup
port and assistance as l can give dur
ing the campaign.

POULTRY FOODS.

Milk is one of the best foods that
can be given to fowls. In one sense
it is the very best, az it is q complete
food; but its great bulk is against it,
for it would be impossible for poultry
to drink enough milk alone to satisfy
their appetite. 1t must, therefore, be
used IN connection with other food.
While sweet whole milk is to be pre-
ferred, sour and skinned milk are
also valuable. The objection to milk
as substitute for meat is its undue
proportion of water. 1t is calculated
that it will require seven pounds of
akimmed milk to equal one pound of
lean meat for flesh forming qualities.
Some poultry raisers never feed
meat, claiming that its use is unnatural
and unnecessary, They overlook the
fact that it is but a substitute for the
insects from which the poultry are de-
barred by confinement. The practice
of feeding upon them proves conclu-
sively the craving for animal food, the
elements of which enter into the COM
position of eggs. The practice of
feeding green bons has now become
nearly universal. Its merits are gen.
orally acknowledged, but they are en-
HANGED by the particles OF meat ad-
herring to the bone. The two to.
gether combine the elements OF the
complete chick.
Vegetables and green food OF all
kinds will assist greatly in keeping
the fowls in good condition during the
winter. All the small potatoes should
be boiled and given to the hens, who
will greedily pick them to pieces. The
same is true of turnips. Parings of
all kinds of vegetables will be readily
eaten. Poor worm eaten apples will
give a zest to their appetites, and n
cabbage hung where they may peck at
1t will serve the same purpose. Pump
kins are also appreciated. Glover hay
or corn fodder cut to half-inch lengths,
scalded or sprinkled slightly with corn
meal, supplies a very good and econ
omical ration. Peas and beans cooked
and thlckened with bran are excellent
for laying hens, SO is sweet ensilnge.
Beets and carrots form a splendid win
ter relish. while onions are popular
and exceedingly healthy. If fed in
moderation there is not the slightest
fear that the last will affect the flavor
of the eggs.
The great value of all these vegetable
foods lies not merely in their power
to tempt the appetite, but in their
supplying the bulk necessary to thrift
and egg production in mere nutritive
qualities most of them are inferior to
the grain which they should supple
ment, not displace. Variety, too, is
an important feature which should
also be considered in supplying grain,
for mixture of corn, oats, wheat,
buckwheat, barley, ETC., will be found
to give better results than where one
grain alone is used. New York

A Remarkable Pumpkip.

Mr.. aud Mrs. II. Russell, well known
colored citizens of Wabash, Ind, are
in possession Of freak in vegetable
growth that is a marvel 70 their neigh.
bors. Last October Mr.. Russell bought
several large, yellow pumpkins which,
with Joyous anticipations of delicious
pie on Thanksgiving and Christmas,
he stored away in his cellar. Several
OF them we're consumed and on Mon.
day only one pumpkin remained and
il was resolved TO make that up into
pies for Christmas Day. Mis-. Russell
brought the golden globe from the
cellar, cut it open and was astonished
to find that, while the flesh Of the
vegetables interior was sound and
sweet, the seeds had sprouted and were
growing at a lively rate. Some OF the
leaves thrown out were two inches in
length and of bright green color.
The seeds themselves had apparently
taken firm hold in the meat of the
pumpkins, but how the miniature vine
managed TO thrive in the dark, air
tight cavity is a mystery to oil who
have seen the phenomenon. Many
visitors call to examine the pumpkin
with the vine on the interior, and that
part of the pumpkin will be preserved
as long as it will last. Chicago Times.

Cat Party.

Mrs. r. Dorsey Coale, as ohaporor
for her feline pets, gave ''cat n
homo" at her residence, No. s65 ParL
avenue, Baltimore, Md. Most of th,
cats were taken to the house in white
bags with shirred-up mouths.
The especial host and hostess were
Mrs. Dorsey Coale's Angora cats,
Tiger and Phoebe Ann, and Mrs.
George b. Coale's Tabitha. The last
mentioned was chaperoned by Miss
Nellie Howison, Mrs. Dorsey Coale's
sister, who also loves cats. As mark
of honor TO the visitors the homo
cats wore big Elizabethan ruffs Of
white paper, tied with bows of blue
and red ribbons.
The visitors wore ribbon bows to
Get of their glossy fur coats. They
included Mrs. Frank Redwood's NAL
tese OraflertY, Graeme Turnbull's An
CORA John Murdoch Turnbull and
Hunt r. Mayo's Thomas Rita.
After the cats had become acquaint.
cd they were shown a Christmas tree,
which was brilliantly lighted and hung
with imitation kittens and mice, little
jugs of milk and dainty baskets of raw
beef and boxes of catnip. These
dainties were distributed, and the cats
commenced their enjoyment.
When the visiting cats became sleepy
the hostesses were bundled OF to bed,
the visitors were returned TO their
bags and carried off home. And so the
cat party ended. New York World.

SKILLED FARM LApoRFRs.

That the farm laborer should be or
indeed can be a skilled workman may
seem to some a contradiction in terms.
Yet there can be no doubt that in
modern farming quite as much de.
pends upon skill as upon strength of
muscle. More than this, the unskil.
full person intrusted with the handling
of expensive farm implements will be
more than likely to injure them be-
yond the amount of his wages. Even
in doing ordinary farm work skill
counts for more than muscle without

A CHOICE DESSERT.

A choice dessert is made from large
well-Aavored and rather tart apples
pare the apples, take out the cores,

over them after they begin to bake
enough grsnulated sugar to coat the
outsides. Bake until tender and
somewhat brown, but take them from
the oven while they are still whole.
Put them in q fiat and rather deep
dish. Chop two dozen blanched
almonds fine, and mix with them four
ounces of seeded and chopped raisins,
and two tablespoonfuls of dried cur
rants. Add to these half cupful of
water, the same quantity of sugar, the
grated yellow rind of a lemon, and a
dessertspoonful of lemon juice. Sim
mer half an hour, then boil hard for
ten minutes. Fill in the centre of the
apples with this mixture and pour that
which is left over the outside. Serve
cold with whipped cream. A mixture
of chopped candied fruits may be add
ed to syrup and used in the same
way. New York Post.

King OF The Mnnnshinnrs

Tho king of tho North Alabama
moonshiners, Fred Walker, was cap
tured by revenue officers few nights
ago near Stevenson, Ala. For fifteen
years Walker has been fugitive from
justice, and during that time he has
defeated dozens of attempts to capture
him, and has defed and taunted the
officers, though he has lived in one
place all the time. The marshal who
headed the posse which finally cap.
tured him had previously made
twenty-five unsuccessful attempts.
Walker was exceedingly popular
among mountain folk, and they gave
him every assistance in evading arrest.
His cabin was on cliff commanding
a view of the country for fifteen miles
around, and either he saw the officers
or was warned by signals from friends
of their approach. The officers finally
discovered the route by which he
usually retreated, and while one party
went openly to his cabin the other
lay in ambush along his path and
took him unawares. All the mountain
GERS fully believe he will soon escape
from the authorities. New York Sun.

pRoPsY oF THE upnER.

The great enlargement of the udder
is doubtless due to urinary disorder,
by which the blood is filled excessive
ly with serum that would otherwise be
removed through the kidneys. Or it
may be the result of tuberculosis in
the udder, by which the blood is i'm
paired in character. If it were due to
any special disorder in the milk glands
of any other kind, the milk would not
be properly secreted. A veterinarian
should be consulted and an examina.
tion of the COW made. In the mean
time, give half.pound doses of epson
salts for four consecutive alternate
days, then give dram doses of digitalis
daily for week. Rubbing the udder
with iodine ointment may be useful.
To support the great weight of the
udder use a supporting bandage. -
