The bible on which President Mckinley
took the oath of office has been presented
10 him. On 1t is inscribed: Presented to
his excellency, William Mckinley, by the
bishops of the African Methodist Episcopal
church, on behalf of eight millions of re-
deemed Americans, as token of their high
appreciation of his love for the Declaration
of Independence, his devotion to the Con-
stitutIon as amended, his fidelity and
bravery in defending the honor of the flag,
his loyalty to the Ten Commandments and
the Golden Rule, and his advocacy of pro-
lection to American institutions, industries
and men.
To give publicity to an article of mer-
chandise-and that kind of publicity that
will create or increase the demand for it's
engaging the best newspaper and business
talent. These conditions are also increas-
ing the necessity for advertising, and at the
same time making it a profession. To ex-
eel the best business methods of the adj
vertiser and the best ability of the profess
sion, must be in conjunction. The tendency
is towards centralizing advertising in news
papers and making every inch of space
count in attracting attention and telling the
story In readable way. Advertisers can
not do better than to use the columns of

unquestionably nominate M. l.. Parker for
alderman for the long term, providing be

question as to who will secure the short

without success. j. L. Walsh is also being

If the full republican vote Of the state is
polled at our spring election the republican
ticket will be elected by good majority
but there is danger of over confidence and
of allowing some trivial, excuse to keep
many away from the polls. This is liable to
happen after great victory. Let every
republican realize the importance of the
spring election and be on hand not only to
cast his own vote, but to see that his neigh
Dor casts his. The republican party cam OF
afford to take any chances of defeat. An
other great victory is in sight il our vote Is
polled.

Judge Long Should Be Reelected

From the Detroit Tribune:
Whatever variances the people of Mich
igan may have I'm reference to financial and
economic policies, the Tribune believes they
are practically of one mind In regard to the
selection of men for offices of non-par-
tisan character. Their sole desire is for
competency and faithful performance of
duties, and for this reason, If for no other.
we hold to the opinion that the voters of
the state cannot do better than to reflect
Judge Charles ID. Ions to the supreme
bench. 1t is matter of minor importa nee
whether Judge Long was nominated by a
republican convention or by mass meeting
of equal suffraglsts. 1t matters little what
his views are in regard to the tariff, the
free coinage of silver or the arbitration of
International differences. The one thirg
In which the people of the state are in
terested in, Is whether he is well equipped
jurist and whether his record on the bench
has been such that he Is entitled to re-
election. AS for the iudges's record 1t
speaks for itself. During his term of SER
wise he has proved himself a credit to the
bench, which was made famous by Cooley,
Christiancy, Campbell and Graves, and the
experience he has gained as justice of the
supreme court should not be lost to the
state. If he has proved faithful and wise
Judge during his present term in office,
there is no reason to doubt that he will
render equally effective service to the PEG
pie during the next 10 years, in case he Is
reelected.
That Judge Long has the unqualified
confidence of his party cannot be disputed.
He was nominated by reclamation, and
there was practically no previous opposition
to his candidacy. Further than this he has
a strong following among the G. A. r.
men of the state and among their friends,
by reason of the gallant fight he waged
against the unjust rulings of the pension
office. The Judges contest was by no
means a personal one. and neither was it
prompted by selfish motives Its influence
has been widespread, and his determined
opposition to the Lochren ruling served to
call the attention of the public to the
Cleveland pension policy as no other protest
eyer did.
Regardless, however, of any claims the
judge my have on his party, the people of
the state owe it to him as they owe it to
every judicial officer who has been COM
petent and faithful, to reflect him. 1t will
be re-eydence of the unwritten law of the
state, which has been sometimes violated,
but which holds good in the main. His re-
election will be an encouragement to every
other judge on the bench. 1t were better
that the supreme court judges of this state
have the assurance that they shall continue
In office during good behavior regardless of
the limitations of their term, than that any
party should win petty victory in the
spring election, and the people can make DO
mistake by re-electing Judge Long.

The sheep should have a good dip

trouble, suffering and death during
that season.
One of the best fertilizers for the
window garden is the coffee left over
from breakfast. 1t should be applied
cold. Coffee grounds are often recon-
mended, but / have found that they
have tendency to mold.
The petunia is a very satisfactory
plant for window box. 1t is well to
fill window with them, as they re-.
quire cooler room than some window
plants and plenty of sun. Then, too,
the massed effect of them is good
The pest palms for home growth are
the sturdy India rubber tree, the par
lor palm or Aspidistra lurida, and the
zebra palm Eulalia. These are hardy
and arc easily kept clean, and will
stand the heat of the living room.
Nasturtiums can be readily grown
in water, the same as the .hyacinth or
Chinese lily. The jar should be half
filled with charcoal before the water is
poured in. The plant is started from
slips and soon presents beautiful APP
pearance.
The following is recommended when
the sheer's feet seem tender: One part
vasaline or lard to one part acetate of
copper well ground and mixed with it.
This will counterfeit whatever poison
that may affect the feet through the
effects of impure matter in ground.

SHEEP RAISING ON TIE FARM.

am sheep man first, last and al
the time, for it is my belief that sneer
are the only farm animals that are
profitable, says John Newland. In
September, 1898, bought seventy.
eight head Of sheep, which averaged
sixty-six pounds. The following May
l sold twenty-five of these at 80. 0 per
head, four head for IS. so, eighty-four
head for S120.40. I had four left.
The sheep cost me S103.S0. Sum
ming up all expenses, including first
cost, value of sheep on hand, wool,
etc., find / made net profit of
S94. 20. Not counting labor required
to take care OF the flock, / received
sl.5O per bushel for grain feed. This
does not take into account the value
OF the manure, or the good the sheep
did as scavengers. The man who
cares for sheep must be especially
adapted to this kind of work. In
1883, was working for man in Bar.
Der County, Kansas, and had under
my charge 500 sheep. l took the
sheep through one of the hardest win
tiers. and lost only twenty.six out of
the flock. This was considered re-
markable, as the sheep men in that To-
cality count on loss of ten per cent.
When the ewes began to drop their
lambs, out of possible four hundred
| saved $50. or ninety per cent. 1t
was only, however, by special attention
and care that it was possible to save
SO large a number.
Last year at my home in Indiana.
twenty-nine ewes produced forty-one
lambs. The sheep which / feed and
handle myself are no more trouble
than SO many chickens. Some years
ago / went into partnership with Mr..
John Bailey and we bought las sheep.
The dry weather came on and Mr..
Bailey became alarmed, and told me
to take the entire flock myself. 1 did
SO. sold 105 of them and retained
forty. At the end of the next year l
had net profit of S119. 20 from this
dock. This, too, under adverse con.
ditions. From the above it will be seen
that sheep are profitable, if carefully
looked after.-American Agricultur-
list.

II is very difficult for a farmer who
is just beginning in this business, and
who finds all sorts of expenses accumu-
lating, to make up his mind to
secure only the best stock, no matter
what it cost. Yet if he really under
stands his business this is what he will
do if his purchase has to be restricted
to a single animal. Breeding from
this he can soon stock up TO the extent
that his farm requires, and his profits
on his live stock increase will be gen.
orally greater than from the growing
and sale of crops. 1t is the advantage
of the live stock on the farm that if
managed as it should be that Is will
make the farm pay while it is being
all the time made richer, and that
thus 1t will make the growing of crops
ultimately profitable. Boston Guilt

That was

Prairie in Logan County. That was
when the whole country was up IN
arms and the tramp of the soldiers was
heard in the land, and shot and shell
sbounded everywhere.
Then again, when in Missouri. right
after Prices raid" in the southeast
ern part of the State, we hunted
pheasants in the heavy woods OF the
bottom lands of Perry and st. Cen
evieve Counties.
Those were stirring times, lively
times. and good times for the woods
man and hunter.
But all that is past now, and the
country that then abounded in prairie
chickens, pheRsants, etc., is now given
over to fields and lanes. cartridges
still abound, and are protected by law,
and afford good sport and full game
bag in the fall of the year. They
seem to thrive under the conditions Of
civilization, and there is another spe-
eies of fowl, or bird, that prospers
and multiplies while surrounded by
fields, pastures and orchards. We
refer to the guinea fowl, bird that
came to us originally from Africa.
Plainly it is of the same family as the
grouse, pheasant and prairie chicken,
and it is superior to them inasmuch
as it takes kindly to domestication.
GuineAs might be raised by the
dozen or even by the hundred, where
only a few are raised to-day. They
take naturally to range, will forage
for a living. make their nests out IN
the brush, and hatch and raise their
young without any care to speak of on
the part of their owners.
1t would take but little effort on the
part of the farmers of any community
to stock their outlaying premises with
guineas, a species of bird fully as
good for the table as the prairie chick
ems that they hunted SO vigorously IN
the earlier days of the country.
The flesh of the guinea is dark il is
true, but so is the flesh of any other
wild bird dark, and the guinea is just
as well suited to the table as the wild
chicken of the prairie.
1t occurs to us that the cultivation
Of the guinea as game to some extent
would be profitable and satisfactory.
