By an oversight of Senator Allison the
other day, when buttons we're under
consideration, an amendment increas-
ing the duty was sent to the desk TO be
read, upon the letterhead paper of the
manufacturing firm desiring the increase.
The Washington "Post says: "The
amendment was incorporated into the

had prepared it, and the finance com.
mittee did not take the trouble to even
copy it. This let's world of light into

Mr. Mark Hanna's success means a
victory for monopoly and for trusts, by
robbery of toll in every shape. He is
the representative OF false promises and
corrupt practices in politics and legisa-
ton. He is rich and has become so by
ways unjust to the common citizen. Mr.,
Hanna believes in grasping, unholy
trusts, and in laws that make trusts
possible and profitable, He considers
voters only as individuals that can be
manipulated by the lavish use OF money
and by lofty promises, glittering, but
false as hell. By such means he fooled
voters last year, and those satisfied with
his promises of prosperity which has not
come, will have an opportunity to try
this false magnate this year. If they
choose again to sustain this author of
the outrageous lies of year ago, they
will do so at their cost and with open
eyes.

If the United States must consult for
eign governments as to bimetallism, why
not as to a tsrih for protection?
Why does not our government obey
the constitution which makes "gold and
silver tender in payment of debts?''
Why await the consent of foreign ma,
tions? Democrats do not believe in such
trucking nonsense. When the Repub'
licans refer to the wonderful perform
ances of their administration, they dc
not state what the silver commission has
accomplished in Europe. They do not
tell even what progress the commission
is making and when the three gentle
men will return with "prosperity."

Considering the fact that the Judicial

result is gratifying evidence of growing
Democratic strength. But indubitable

PoTAToEs.-There has been very good
demand for the past week, but the high

decline in prices has been made.
BUTTER.-Trade in fresh made butter has
been very quiet for the past week, but re-

their track of the accumulation.
FLoUR.-The tone has ruled easy during
the week, but firmer feeling is noted at
the close, with prices about 10c above the
low point. This change for the better is
due to the decline in the price of wheat
being checked and the better prices ruling

from the recent condition of high activity,
though prices have not only not receded but
have actually increased on fine wool, nota-
bly, on fleeces. Speculation has stopped for
the moment and the decrease in the demand
is unauestionably due to the quieter condi-
ton of the goods market. The mills are

purchase to cover sales of goods. AS these
sales have been checked for the present,
wool has followed suit.

AGRICULTURAL.
Strong Teams for Farm Work.

Many farmers lose great deal by
not using teams which are strong
enough. But it depends on the char
acter of the soil, whether it is stony or
not, whether it is hard clay or inclin-
ing to light, sandy nature. A stony
soil will break plows when heavy
team is put on and driven fast. This is
one of the greatest evils of stony land.
To do a good work in blowing team
needs to walk fast. Then the furrow
is thrown over quickly and pulverized
more and better than when the team
walks slowly. Hence it is better to
have strong team which can walk
right along at rapid gait. But the
common fashion is to use only two
horses and light ones at that These
light teams are great loss to farmers
because it takes time of an able bodied
man to drive such a team, when he
might just as well be driving either
team of two heavy horses or better yet,
driving three or even four horses, and
doing more than double the work that
he can in the common way. Then on
billy land a three horse team will do
more than one-third more work than a
two-horse one. Then the three horses
can move right along with the pillow or
other tool, up hill and down, and will
not have to stop and rest nearly as Of
ten as the two.horse team. On many
farms where only two horses are kept,
it would be far better to keep three and
use them side by side. One great
trouble with eastern farming is that
the land is not plowed often enough,
and when it is plowed, the work in not
well done. When the narrowing is
poorly done, the resulting crop is poor.
We have been using three horses on
common two-horse Cutaway harrow
and find it to be a great success. The
field was hard in spots, there were
steep banks, it was necessary to add a
weight of fifty to seventy-live pounds
besides the driver and two horses
would have found it hard pull, but
three moved right along with the load.
There are many farmers who live
where they have TO go up and down
hills, often steep ones every time they
60 to the village, or even away from
home, yet many such drive only one
horse, often leaving another standing
idle in the stable. 1t would be much
better to put pole in the wagon and
sleigh and drive a span. They would
go up and down the hills far easier
than the one horse.

Did They Have TuberculOsis2

We find the following in the columns
of the Rockville (Conn.) Journal:
Recent experiments at Storrs Col
lege with cows affected with tubercu-
losis are of importance as they demon
strated the cure of that disease. AS
these are the first cures on record in
the state they are more important.
The case referred to is that of four
cows belonging TO the Hamlin herd of
thoroughbred Devons which were pro-
cured by Slorrs Experiment Sta ion tor
the purposes of experiment. In the
summer of 1896 the cattle commission
ers inspected the herd and applied the
tuberculin test to the animals. They
responded and the commissioners con
demned them. The authorities of
Storrs procured the four animals and
kept them for the purpose of watching
the development of the disease and of
testing the efficacy of the tuberculin
test as an indicator of the presence of
tuberculosis in the body of the animal.
In October the four cows were tested
and they responded. But during the
fall up to January the animals contn-
ued to thrive.
In January of this year the COWS
were again tested and they again re-
sponded. 1t was decided not to kill
them, but to continue the test until
their appearance Enthusiastically indi-
Gated that they were suffering from
disease. Their milk was given to
calves which thrived on it and are to-
day healthy, vigorous animals. Last
June the tuberculin test was applied to
the COWS for The fourth time when only
two responded, the other two being
evidently cured. The other day Com
missioner Sprague received telephone
message from Professor Phelps of
Storrs stating that the other two cows
had been tested and that they had
not responded, showing that they, too,
had been cured of the disease. The
case of these four cows shows that a
mistake can be made even with tuber-
culine.
This is only single experiment, but
indicates something in the investiga.
ton of tuberculosis. 1t indicates that
animals may react to the tubercular test
several times even, and afterwards
show no reaction. 1t indicates also that
animals slightly affected with tubercu-
were, may live for years under proper
sanitary conditions and not develop the
disease further. This experiment will
not be completed until the four cows
are slaughtered and thorough post
norton examination made. This may
indicate still further the effect of tu-
berculin on slightly diseased animals and
throw some light upon phase of sub
ject that is not at present very well
understood, even by those who are the
best informed in this matter. If
portion of the money expended in the
indiscriminate Strengthening of animals
reacting to the tuberculin test had been
expended in an investigation of the
subject and in experimenting with
slightly diseased animals, better results
would have been obtained, and we
should know more about the matter
than we do at present.

Perhaps the safest thing to do for the
common farmer who is DESTROYS of
breeding horses is to try drafts. have
known common, good-sized farm mares
to raise half Clyde colts each year
(from the same sire) which would
match up well and make 1,400 pound
horses when full grown and in good
flesh. Drafts require little training,
which is one thing in their favor; are
not liable to become blemished about
the feet and legs, do not need to be
carefully handled as the trotting bred
stock, and taking it all around are
more satisfactory, unless one has a
thorough knowledge of the require
ments of the fancy horse market, and
the ability to breed them and place
them upon the market 1t requires
great deal of time to fit young horse
for driving. 1t must be well broken,
not afraid of steam or electric cars, &C.
customed to city sights and sounds, for
no one wants an animal which is
frightened at all these things.
have known light horses raised by
farmers to be sold for fancy prices, at
least they would be called fancy prices
nowadays, but in every case but one it
wss not the man who raised them who
realized these, but the man who bought
them of him, then sold again. The
fact is the majority of farmers are not
capable of fitting carriage or driving
horse for market. This is business by
itself.
OF course the great majority of horses
are raised on farms by farmers, but so
long as the breeding is done in a hap
hazard manner which prevailed for sew
eral years prior to the depreciation of
prices it must not be expected that
there will be great numbers of desir-
able carriage and light harness horses
to be disposed of. Those who have
them will not fail to sell them to good
advantage. - Correspondent Country
