Il the faculty Of seeing facts and the
ability to reason upon them have not de-
parted from the free silver Democrats,
they will not attempt to commit the ma.
tional convention to their theory.
The facts Of the political situation
briefly are:
Frst-That the Democratic party
has been defeated in every presidential
election since the war when it leaned
toward financial unsoundness and has
been successful in every contest in which
it stood for honest money.
Second. THAT it cannot carry q sim
gle northern state or one-half the bor-
der states for free silver aud consequent.
~ would be beaten disastrously in the
election upon that issue.
Third THAT it cannot hope to carry
the house OF representatives upon that
ISSUE The majority against free coinage
has increased from Is in the Fifty -sec-
ond congress to 1876 in the present house.
There are no signs of gains for silver
anywhere this year.
Fourth. Being unable to elect either
q president or house upon this issue,
do its supporters hope to throw the cleo
ton Of president into the housei In
that case the choice Of the Republican
candidate is absolutely certain.
Conceding that the free silver Demo-
Gratis will be able to write their idea

them? What are conventions for il not

The principal reason why the highly
civilized and commercial nations have
gradually abandoned silver and adopted
the gold standard is that value for value
silver is 30 times as heavy as gold. So
that il the cheaper metal were used to
settle balances in trading between two
countries or between distant points Of
the same country it would cost 80 times
more to transfer it than il payment was
made in gold The foolish idea that
business men have conspired to discredit
the white metal in order to increase the
value Of gold Is merely cheap money
delusion. Merchants and bankers are in
terested in having the best possible ma
terial for use in measuring values and
making exchanges, and the fact that in
millions Of transactions the handling Of
money the greater weight of silver meant
q larger cost Of transporting it was Of it.
self sufficient reason why gold should
be preferred
Left to themselves, men always choose
the easiest known method Of doing any
thing Since 1t is far easier to use sub
stance having great value In small bulk
than one 80 or so times heavier, it is
only natural that, whenever it is pos
sible to secure sufficient gold, that metal
should be used instead OF silver. Wood
is now generally used instead Of steel
for bicycle rims because it is lighter.

The Live Stock Journal calls atten-

Where large number Of horees are

there should be a separate rug for it's
own use and benefit. On no account
should it be applied to another, not
withstanding the temptation to use it
in the temporary absence of the horse
for which it was originally acquired.

al WORD to Breeders.


Cattle breeders will do we'll to take
the bull by the horns and test out
their herds for tuberculosis. There
are but few herds that are free from
1t, and the sooner we rid the herds Of
any diseased animals the better, so
that we can warrant every animal sold
as free, sound and healthy, whether
for breeding, for milk or for meat
We urge breeders to take up this mat
ter promptly, and no longer ignore the
important issue. Ask the state vet.
erlnarian or your local assistant state
veterinarian to test the herd and learn
the condition Of every animal in the
herd. The state institutions that have
had their herds examined have found
many animals affected, and it be.
hooves every breeder to know what
he has in this line, kill out the affected
animals and start with sound, healthy
stock. Every month we delay it we in
crease the per cent Of loss.
Breeders of pedigree cattle who up
ply the tuberculin test to every animal
in the herd and kill out the affected
animals and warrant every animal
sold from the herd to be free from tu-
berculosis will sell at better prices in
the future. This heroic test requires
courage in the breeder, but buyers of
pure bred cattle will demand this
guarantee from breeders.

The founder Of the Vendome column
In Paris met with financial ruin in his
contract. The French government,
when it decided to erect the notable
column, entered into contract with
an iron founder. He knew nothing
whatever Of modelling or casting in
bronze. The government agreed to
supply him with cannon captured from
the Russians and Austrians during the
campaign Of 1905. In quantities sufti-
cient to found the monument. The
contractor, knowing nothing of the
phenomena which the fusion Of bronze
offers, found, when two-tllirds Of the
column was completed, that he had
used up all his metal. Sufficient bronze
had been given him to complete the
monument, aud he was responsible
for the entire amount. Finding him
self face to face with bankruptcy, he
melted up his scoriae and mixed the
metal with cheap refuse, which he
purchased, and so completed the
founding. The castings, however, were
found to be so full Of flaws that the
work was stopped and the founder ru-
ined. The holdings Of the different
parts Of the bas-relief were so badly
executed that the chisellers who re.
paired the defects removed no less
than seventy tons Of bronze. They re.
ceived for their labor $4,000, to which
was added the seventy tons of bronze,
which became their perquisites. The
whole transaction was very, very

Cheap Convenience.

With little ingenuity quite a cosy
place can be provided for q flock Of
twenty-five hens on a farm in winter
quarters. Corn stalks, laid on boards,
or straw arranged on poles on the
sunny side Of barn will provide q
vigorous flock with ample room and
protection. When flock is domiciled
and provided with a small yard for
outdoor exercise the labor and care
required will be no greater than that
for pig or q calf and the hens will
give quicker and surer returns. The
physiology of the organs Of digestion
in fowls show that they are contin-
uous feeders, and are not adapted to
filing their crops ut once, except to
stow up supply for night. Fowls
will not travel far in winter, and If
they are supplied with ample quarters
they will keep in good health under
nearly all other conditions. The utili-
cation of such materials as may be

will find its return in an increased
number Of eggs. Any labor bestowed
upon the flock in winter will not he
lost, as eggs will always bring high
prices at that season of the year.

what he is keeping sheep for. A sheep

Of push, and he who does not push,
