problem more serious 8nd dangerous

the church or nation. 1t is the fact Of

awaken new zeal and determination to
push religion and loyalty to the front,
to raise the Cross OF our Lord first, and

brilliant peroration depicting the hero
ism Of the home missionary and the
wonderful self-sacrifices of their wives.
DIR. Davies address was on foreign
missions. His subject was divided into
louF pdft5 loipilChi cCuCopbiOu VI lOT-
eign missions; Biblical conception of
Christ; Biblical conception of man !;
Biblical conception of the world re-
deemed. He unfolded the promise God
made to Abraham and how it was full
filed in Christ and how its blessings
through Christ were designed for the
world. He showed how the coming of
Christ was fulfilment of prophecy
and how the ministry of Christ made
effective the blessings of the Abrahamic
covenant to the jewish world; and how
by sacrifice on the cross those bless
ings we're secured for the Jewish and
GENTLE world and were to be made
effective by fidelity to the apostolic
commission under the dispensation of
the Holy Spirit Thus Christ is
Saviour, not for any particular class or
race, but for the whole world of men.
Men everywhere are in need of this
blessing; and its acceptance through
Christ is the salvation of the world.

enter into any agreement whatever. on
the ground that they were able TO do
what they conceived to be right with
out any promises from the other side as
a consideration. This is the condition
OF affairs as the writer ands them here
tonight, and it is condition which,
as has been stated, has been brought
about solely by desperate attempt Of
me Republicans to carry Kent county.
me Audicks men are the prime movers
IN the scheme for the reason that they
are more numerous than the followers
OF ex-senator Higgins, but while this
10 the case the latter faction are equally
willing that any scheme which will re-
suit IN Kent going Republican may be
successful.
The most remarkable feature re-
garding these aiidavits filed by the
Republicans against the 1874 alleged
illegally registered Democrats is the
total absence of evidence against them.
There was not even pretension OF
reason given AS to why the names
should be stricken off but ii was simply
IA shrewd scheme to retaliate for con
eeived wrong on the part of the other
side two years ago. Tho Republicans
have even admitted this. j. Frank
Alice, the leader OF the addiclss party
IN Kent county, in speaking to night of
the action of his people relative to the
filing OF these ailidavits stated that such
action was purely matter of prin-
ciple with them" But upon second
thought he changed his remark, stating
that it WINS matter of protection
and not principle. +" lie also wished
to DO quoted as saying that his people
were standing for their rights which
they failed to receive two years ago in
a similar case, when they depended on
the courts and that body decided
against them. Mr. Alice said that the
Republicans of East Dover hundred
would remove from the list as many
Democrats as were Republicans taken
off in Duck Creek, Little Creek and
kenton hundreds, but not one more.
This is the Republican sile OF the story
from one OF the leaders of the party.
The claim nude by some that thay were
justified in the filing of their now
famous affidavits by tho fact that the
Democratic boards contemplated similar
action is untrue. The whole affair was
planned before the Democratic boards
had considered the matter of taking
any action in their districts and again
the county committee did not authorize
or sanction the action of the Democratic
boards, while it is stated that the
action of the Republicans was author
lied and premeditated. The Republi-
cans used two irresponsible negroes TO
swear TO the charge of illegality in the
registration, knowing full we'll that
there had been nothing of the kind,
and that these negroes were swearing
falsely. The difference in the action of
the two boards is easily observable.
This is the present status of the
affair, and IL was given out laat night
from reliable sources that neither party
would make any further move in the
matter of taking off names. AS a
matter of fact the registration has been
very closely watched all along 10y both
sides. There are a few names on the
lists of either side which will probably
be taken oil. but they are only in
isolated cases, and where proper
reasons ars found to exist.

The fundamental principle in dealin
with an outbreak of disease in the swim,
herd is to separate the well hogs froI
the sick hogs, not to take the sick hog,
away from the healthy swine, leaving
the latter confined on the ground whict
the herd occupied when the disease de,
veloped. Leave the sick hogs where
they were when the illness appeared
and remOve to other quarters those APP
parently not yet affected. If the pigs
are permitted to occupy the pens and
yards in which some have sickened and
died it is altogether probable hat the
infection will spread until it carries of
the herd or all but a few that are strong
enough to resist the encroachment OF
the plague or survive an attack of. it
The disease spreads by infection of the
ground. Hence healthy hogs should
not be allowed on ground or in pens
where swine have died from the plague.

Every time the ground freezes and
thaws many grass roots near the sur
face are snapped from the main stem,
we are told by u writer. 1t is doubtless
the decay of these which contributes TO
the increase of fertility when fields are
kept in grass. Some Of the grasses.
and especially the clovers. run out after
one or two years. The decay of their
roots in the soil helps TO make the more
hardy and enduring varieties more
thrifty. We are apt to think that a sod,
so far as its roots are concerned, is a
constant quantity from year to year.
But if we could examine II every spring
we should probably find hat many of
its DOT have dropped off. and will have
to be replaced during the growing
season.

When the Moose Sheds His Horns.

Very few people have ever seen a
bull moose shed his horns. This trans
formation usually takes place between
January 1 and January s, during which
time the animal is very ugly. The bull
moose in the Ellerton moose park in
Roseau commenced shedding his horns
on the date mentioned, and during the
process performed some queer antics.
He would run and Jump at everything
in his way, butt trees and fences, and
his mates Were driven by the big fell
low hither and thither. y kicking
bronco was turned in the park, and for
a few minutes the fight was terrific,
the bronco coming out winner with
his heels. Finally the moose backed
away and made a run for the horse.
This was too much for the bronco, who
fled for dear life. with the o in
full pursuit. The race was made around
the corral ten times before the moose
could be stopped and the horse taken
away from the enragcd animal. which
was accomplished with no little trouble
and danger.-Minneapolis Journal.

Early Eggs for Breeding.

1t is always an advantage to secure
the earliest eggs laid for breeding pur-
poses. They are higher in price, but if
care is taken that they are never chilled
they will hatch a larger proportion of
chicks, and the chicks themselves will
be stronger than those from eggs laid
advantage also, as the early chicks get
through their moulting before cold
weather sets in neN fall. and with good
feeding of egg-making material they
Will lay most of the time next winter.

through n winter before it begins to
lay, and then it produces eggs only
when the price is the lowest.
