CAMPAIGN LrTERATURE.
KENTUCKY FOR McKINLRY.

The latest news from Kentucky is
decidedly good. 1t indicates that
Mckinley will carry the state by not
less than $1,000 majority, notwith-
standing the fusion OF democrats and
populists, and that q majority of the
Congressional disticts will elect repub-
licans. In short, it looks like the
states might be swept by republican
landslide in November.

Therefore, 10 keep the ASA cake and

ILLINoIs rRoBABLE MAJoRIrY.

Few republicans have had doubt
about how the electoral vote OF nh-
nois will be cast since the meeting OF
the Chicago convention, and those few
have been convinced that Mckinley
will carry the state by an immense
majority, by thorough investigation
which has just been completed So
certain is the result now regarded
that wagers have been made that
McKinley's majority in that state will
exceed 200, 900.

TALES OUT OF SCHOOL.

A democratic Congressman from Al
ALBANIA has been telling tales out of
school He says that there are not less
than $1,000 democrats in his state,
who will, under no circumstances,
vote for Bryan, and he adds, Ken
lucky will probably vote for McKin-
ley. and likewise Maryland and West
Virginia. / think there is no chance
for Bryan to be elected. The free sill
YER movement is not now as strong as
it was only a little while ago. 1t
grows steadily weaker This is not
to be wondered at. AS men examine
the question they become convinced
that free coinage is q delusion."

Natural Foods.

The natural food of fowls is COM
posed of seeds, insects and grass. In
the domestic condition we allow grain
and meat. Turkeys and chickens drink
very little water when feeding, and
even ducks and geese resort to water
when feeding, in order to wash their
bills, more than to drink. This brings
up the question Of the propriety Of
feeding soft food 1t is known that
ground grain absorbs a large volume
of water, and when the mixture is APP
parently dry. quite a large proportion
of water exists in it, though more so
when the mixture is very moist and
sloppy. 1t is not beneficial water, as
the results are sometimes injurious,
bowel disease and indigestion prevail
ing 1t is better to feed all food dry
if possible, and keep trough full of
water where the fowls can take what
quantity they desire. Even ground
food may be given in dry condition. the
different substances used being thor
oughly mixed and placed in trough.
When chicks are fed they have corn
meal moistened several times day,
and bowel disease results simply be-
cause too much water is forced upon
them in the food. The fowls never re-
sort to wet food when they can get
dry kinds. and this is matter that de-
serves attention.-TeXaS Farm and

Managing Cream

In the making of good quality of
butter it is very essential that the
cream be ripened properly. Cream to
ripen thoroughly should be kept at a
temperature of about 60 degrees, stir
ring two or three times in order to
properly distribute the fermentation
and at the same time prevent the for
nation of tough skin on the surface.
Average cream, under ordinary con-
ditions, will ripen sufficiently for the
churn in twenty-four hours. There is
no possible advantage in adding fresh
cream to that which is nearly or quite
sufficiently ripened and then churning,
as the butter fats in the pure cream re-
4uiring longer charming. to separate
would remain in the buttermilk and
be wasted. 1t is only by mixing thor
oughly together and then letting stand
a sufficient length of time for all to
ripen evenly that the largest per cent
of the butter fats in the cream will be
separated at one time. 1T is an essen
tial at times, when the weather is usu-
ally cold, to warm up the ehurn so that
when the cream is of the proper tent
perature it will not be lowered by put
ting into the clurn. If the cream is
too cold, not only will it require longer
ch,lrning to make the butter come, but
the butter will be gritty and more or
less off in quality, two conditions de-
Sirable to avoid.-American Farmer.

The Effce- OF Fad Butter

Every pollnd of poor Suttec blocks
the wheels Of an active market, and
every pound sold at low price dis
places to a :nare or less extent a
pound of we]l-m.>ce butter at a higher
price.
But this is not all; every pound of
poor butter sold that is used on the
table tends to decrease consumption,
and in this FAY lessons demand, while
really good butter helps to increase
the consumption and demand for the
better articte.
The man that makes butter Of infe-
rior quality labo1s for a very low pro-
fit, or none at all. while the maker of
the better quality of product does no
more work. but is able to realize ut
least fats profit.
1t will be q long time before the
quantity Of poor butter manufactured
will be lessened sufficiently to cause
any increase in prices. and there can
De considerable increase in the guam
Jity Of really tirst-class butter made be-
fore there will I've any great decrease in
price. In a majority of cases a better
profit can he realized by feeding the
milk to calves. pigs or poultry, than to
continue making it into a poor quality
of butter and sending it to an over
stocked market.

A Rotted Sod for Potatoes.

Sod land is generally used for pota-
toes. and for an early crop it should
be thoroughly rotten. Herein is one
of the chief advantages Of fall blowing
for this crop. When soil is very fer
tile to precede the potatoes with corn.
The sod is broken late in the spring.
and the preparation for corn and the
cultivation of the crops tears the sod
into pieces and causes it to rot thor
oughly. This fits the soil for feeding
the potato plants the next season. But
in land of ordinary fertility the corn
crop makes too great drain upon the
store Of plnnt-food. and this rotation
is not advisable. The next best thing
is to plow sod land in the fall for pc.
tatoes. and thus secure some decay
during warm weather In tho winter
and early spring. Corn thrives on fer
menting vegetable matter and IL II rank

fertilized with thoroughly rotten ma
