in the floor plan that is given in Fig, {

A Plan Which Is Almost Certain to Df-
feet a Cure

A Plan Which ls Almost Certain to L1f-
feet a Cure.
Many horses, especially during the
first year of their working period, are
constantly in possession of a sore
mouth, and this not only causes the an
imal great suffering and usually loss of
flesh, but is also a matter Of great in
convenience to the driver.
This, if continued for several months,
is also liable to leave the animal with q
chronic habit, such as throwing the
head while hitehing or unhitching.
We have in view one very valuable
young horse, owned by neighbor,
which became almost worthless on ac-
count of the habit of throwing itshead,
and at the same time lunging sideways
into the bitches.
The most effective plan which we
have ever tried consists of winding any
ordinary bit at the corners and down
on the same for about one inch, with
tanned sheepsliin (Which can be pro-
cured at any harness store) being sure
that it is not too thick and heavy.
With this we'll wound on have
cup of sulphur, and each time as the bit
is placed in the horses mouth moisten
the leather and rub on little of the
pulverized article. It is well also to
lengthen the bride as much as possible
during the time and not drive with a
tight checking rein.
After having adopted this plan we
succeeded in curing young horse of a
very sore mouth which was contracted
during the working period the past sea-
son. = C. II. Whitcomb, in National

How TO Drive PaStuFinE Cattle AcrSSu
a Highway,
Many farms are so situated that tho
cattle must be driven across highway
to pasture. This almost always Affords
trouble, The cattle will break away up
and down the highway to feed by the
roadside, instead Of crossing tho road
directly from the pasture gate to the
lane leading to &he barn. A device is
shown herewith that may prove Of as
sistance in such cases. A narrow lane

Gravity Dreaming in the private dairy
loses more fat than most farmers
dream Of. If ice is used at once after
millSing to reduce the water round the
cans to about 40 degrees Fahrenheit,
the fat will rise, leaving not more than
one-hfth Of one per cent; and If the
water is at 60 degrees or above, one per
cent. or more will be left in the skins
milk. This one or more per cent. is a
third or a half Of all the fat in the
milk. This suggests the putting up OF
ice by the private dairyman. The eli
mate Of Kansas provides for this, and
1t is o greater boon than many imagine.

Horny Hands VS.. Irrigation.

In a communication appearing
in the Houston Post of Satur-
day C. H. Willingham of Balm
ger replies to an article by Mr..
D. o. Lively of Fort Worth and
says:
l know Mr.. R. K. Fielder, one
of the gentlemen he talked to, as
a horny handed son of toil-knew
him in Washington county many
years. He is a good man and a
perfect gentleman, but most
woefully imposed himself on
Lively, for he has not got horn
on either hand, never did have
and never will have. Mr.. Fielder
is like great many others
knows a good speculation scheme
when he sees it and probably
holds good large body of land
he very much desires to unload
on some soft snap and leave him
the bag to hold.
Just what the horns or lack of
horns on Mr.. Fielder hands have
to do with the adoption of the
irrigation amendment the BAN
NER can't conceive. He is a
prosperous farmer at Chappell
Hill and is entitled to any benefits
accruing from the amendment
by reason of owning a consider
able section of land in West
Texas.

cess, because it's principles are
founded in truth and Justice, and
are as indestruchble as the idea of
freedom Itself, and when il the
hands of its true advocates and de.
tenders can not fail to bring about
the blessings of free government
but not perfection. We must re
member that while we place our
ideals high we can only hope at
best to work in the direction of
them, and that in practical legisl9-
ton and the administration of goy>
eminent we can never attain all
that we would desire.
The great bulwark of liberty,
trial by jury, does not give entire
satisfaction in its operation by any
means, neither does the rule of ma.
jorities always operate in tie inter
est of justice and equality, but both
are recognized nevertheless as es>
sential to free government. So
tariff law will never be exactly
equal and just in its operation, all
though it is the purpose of democ.
racy to make it SO, as far as possi>
be.
But L agree with you fully that
the great causes for the growth of
trusts have been the appreciation of
gold and the fall in prices which
make it impossible for producers to
keep their heads above water, save
by trusts to artifcially keep up
prices and also the discrimination
in transportation charges in favor of
clique enterprises, which again re-
suit in trusts, by sitting competition
etc. 1 agree with you in word,
that the battle cry of the future
should be: Equality of opportu-
nifty, equality of burdens and equal
ity of human rights! But why
change the name of the party
which stands by it's platform for all
this, by way of practical and feasi>
bic remedies which are capable of
executions Do not condemn it
now since it has shaken off its dress
and has entered the battle for hui
man freedom in its regeneration,
before its accession to power;
rather come to its assistance aud
help uplift its banner and press to
victory. You admit that democracy
took heed of the revolution of feel
ing in 1896, and took a great step
to put itself in accord with the
principles of true democracy and
fell but little short of success in
winning the election. Why give up
the fight and retreat from the lines
drawn? Why disorganize and dis
band this splendid army in the face
of the enemy Is such a course
wise, is it patriotic

nation of new party to unite the

and thus make it possible to success
fully oppose those who put the rights
of property before the rights of man
and would grind down the industri-
GUS to the slavery of poverty, that
the few may reap what the many

THE Dallas News says elf
the cotton farms of Texas were
all in one, it would cover the
State of New Jersey. The corn
fields equal the area of Massa-
chusetts. The wheat fields are
equal to the area of Delaware.
The hay farms cover territory
as large as Connecticut. The
oats area IS as large as the State
of Rhode Island. Other farm
products would require an area
equal to that of New Hampshire.
The forests would cover the State
of Illinois, while the ranches are
broad enough to cover New York,
Pennsylvania and Ohio. These
are a few of the reasons why
Texas pities the balance of the
