I'm a~PepOeratic candidate
- On a lingo, bunco, ~buncombe plan .
From the coast of Maine to the GoIden5Gate
There's scarcely such another man.
I'm the brand-neW freak with the Timber
jaw,
And l travel all the land about
With gOld-bug paddy stuffed with straw,
- And you ought to see re punch his snout
/ belt him. here, and [ belt him there
Til the sound is borne across the sea,
And Queen Victoria tears her hair
Till she's just bald as bald can be;
And the English SyndcateS all quail,
As | beat the unicorn about; &
And the lion squats upon his tail
For fear I'll come and twist it out. IA
From lizard Point to the Baltic shores
All Europe soon will stand aghast,
When they ind the lords of the silver ore
Have got q cinch on the mintS at last.
Then We'll build great financial wall
As high as the light Of Barnegat. a.
And we'll close the door against them all

"a n6hawhat care we though our gold be made
To take it's fight across the seas?
We will iustsrepealg the DAVIS Ofztrade
And run our markets as we please,
Then the silver crankS shall shout thereat

FACTS EoR FARMERS.

To get good horses, breed right and
then feed right
Generally the larger the animal the
greater the cost of keeping.
A long lived animal must be of slower
growth than one for early maturity.
Keeping the harness, especially the
collars, well oiled will help prevent
gals.
The nearer you get to full blood in
breeding the better will be the re-
suits.
The thrift and condition of the moth
er largely determines what the pig will
be.
A well-fed pig is usually contented
one, and will usually take only such
exercise as is needed for health.
On the farm, as elsewhere, economy
of time and space requires every team
to accomplish the greatest amount OF
work.
The quality of the meat may be
readily improved by careful and clean
Iy feeding, as well as changed by the
kinds of food.
Horses may get fat and look well
standing in the stable all of the time,
but they will hardly be in condition
to stand hard times.-Farmers' Union.

AMONG THE POULTRY.

Sunfowers are q good thing to have
about the poultry quarters where they
can be grown.
1t is good way to have the roostiHg
poles and nests movable, ard place them
In the sunshine part of the day.
The survival of the fittest is good
poultry doctrine. Find what individual
oens are doing the best, ard breed from
them.
An egg contains from rs 10 81 per cent.
solid matter, nearly II per cent albu-
men. That means that laying hens
ueed food rich in albuminous matter
meat, oil meal, milk, bran, etc.
Boston commission merchant says
mat If farmers would market all the
chlckens and eggs they can spare each
week, they would be surprised at the
regular income that they were receiv.
ing, and they would find ore profit in
poultry.
A writer in Farm Poultry says that
crop-bound is nothing more than indi-
gestion, and that charcoal-fed fowls
rarely ever have this trouble. Then pre-
'ent it by every now and then charring
several ears of corn and allowing the
oens to pick it off.
The citizen. (Frederick City, Md.) 1895-1923, 1896-10-02

that tasted better than that thus fat
was unwholesome, we never much liked
the pork fattened on corn alone.
ct is well always to select the breed
ing sow early and give her the especial
kind of feed and care adapted to pre-
pare her for her mission in life. The
old-fashioned practice of some farmers
of feeding all the pigs together on corn
until nearly fattening time tended al
ways to deterioration. Not but that the
made liberal growth instead of putting
on fat even with this feed was the sow
out of the lot that was then the best
adapted to breeding, but it was also the
sow that had shown by it's failure to
fatten when highly fed that 1T lacked
the especial trait that made q hog valu-
able. What is wanted i'm breeding sows
is the greatest possible ability to make
use of all the food given, so that the
tendency will always be to an excess
Of fat, and feed them so that this ten
'ency will be kept in check and yet so
literally as to promote vigorous growth.
This means an abundant, but not any
concent rated, ration of food adapted
to make growth rather than fat. All
the grains are too fattening. Wheat
middlings and skim milk diluted with
dish washings, with enough grass in
summer or beets in winter to keep the
pig from squealing, will build up long,
rangy sow that will produce more and
better pigs in half dozen years of her
life than a farmer can make by any
ether like investment of his money"

FARM FISH CULTURE.
AN interesting Industry and One That
Can lie Made to Pay

An Interesting Industry and One That
Can lie Made to Pay.
For many years past the government
has been at great pains and expense in
establishing and keeping up piscicul-
ture establishments. And millions upon
millions of fish have been Matched and
distributed to private individuals and
turned loose in the water courses in
various parts of the country, and have
persisted for the want of proper atten-
ton. And the public, generally, have
derived but little benefit for the money
expended. In foreign countries, fish
culture has been profitable, and it could
be made profitable in this country pro-
vided the farmers would turn their at
tention to it, and prosecute it with
Judgment and energy. Every owner of
a farm of any dimensions can have his
own private fish pond, and supply his
table with the rarest and best of food at
little expense. And fresh fish is always
ready sale in the country markets. On
a great majority of the farms there is
place worth but little for cultivation
that might be converted into an excel
lent fish pond, and made to yield it's
proportion of food for the sustenance
of the family. But so far, farmers, or at
least very few of them, seem to have
given the matter any attention. know
but one farmer in my neighborhood
who has given the matter any thought,
and he has been remarkably successful.
Ponds intended for fish culture Gf
possible) should be made where there
&c, L, e IL L. 4
deep as possible, SO that when full there
will be no possible danger of their freez-
ing to the bottom. And on the bottom
should be placed large fiat stones with
their edges elevated by placing another
stone under them. Under these stones
the fish will go for protection either in
very cold or hot weather. The margins
of the pond should be made slanting
gradually. Water growth should be let
grow around the edges, as it has ten
dency to shade the water and keep it
cool and fresh. The purer the water
can be kept the better. Consequently,
stock nor fowls should have access to
it, for when the water becomes impure
the fish are not good for food. And
they soon sicken and die.
The German carp, the California salm-
on, the pike, the shad and many other
kinds have their admirers, and,are high
ly recommended, but for hardy kinds,
and those most likely to thrive, would
not exchange the bass, the buffalo, the
perch and the cat of our own native
streams for any others. Fish, like every
thing else confined to narrow quar-
ters, should be regularly fed. Coarse
bread of any kind without salt or grease
is an excellent food. When wanted for
table use they can be taken with clip
net or email sieve and the small fry
returned to the pond. = C. Glover, in
Journal of Agriculture.
