The End Of the RattIe.

The End Of the Battle.
The Courier Journal has little to
add to what it has already said by
anticipation touching the democratic
sitution in Kentucky brought into
being by the vote of Tuesday last.
That vote confirms the position of
the convention that nominated Mr..
Shackelford for clerk of the court Of
Appeals and repudiapes the position
of the convention which nominated
MIR, Hindman. 1t fixes the relation
OF the democratic organization in
Kentucky to the national organiza-
tion of the democratic party, at least
through the next state and national
election. 1t is so decisive in charac-
ter as to leave nothing to conjecture,
and the Courier Journal has neither
the wish nor the purpose to challenge
it.
The issue as it was made, and MAS
been brought out, was clear and ex-
plicit. No effort was wanting to
maintain it. Nobody could by any
possibility be mistaken about it. We
may regret the verdict against us.

that in a general way You agree with
the statement thatsthe people" can

phrase sounds familiar, as nearly
every one asserts it. But like our as

statements without thinking of all !

rather that you may have your faith

MORE TROUBLE.
Protests Against C. l. Mcdonald having
All the Dams to Build-Nothing May
Come of 1t.

The indications are that Secreta-
nv Alger will have to listen to some
lively quarrels before he awards the
contracts for constructing the new
locks and dams on the Ohio and Mo
nongahela rivers. Each mail brings
to him letters of protests, charges
and arguments against the firms
who are likely to receive the con
tracts.
For the locks and dams on the
Ohio river the fight is spreading
over two or three states, and political
influence is being brought to bear.
1t is a typical Cincinnati fight, the
lowest bidder being from that city.
At the outset the defeated bidders
charged that the successful firm was
not responsible. This was denied
and then the political leaders were
drawn in. Senators Fairbanks, For
aker and Hanna are already on rec
ord and efforts are being made to
draw Senators Elkins and Quay in
to the mess.
For the Monongahela locks and
dams, for which G. /. Mcdonald, of
Pittsburg, was the lowest bidder,
the opposition are not fling any
charges against Mr.. Mcdonald. But
it appears that two of the unsuccess-
full bidders have Joined forces and
are endeavoring to persuade Seere-
tary Alger that the best interests OF
all concerned lies in not giving all
the locks. and dams to one contract
or. They want him to divide the
work into blocks of two-that is, to
give not more than two locks and
dams to any one contractor. AS the
bids for neither project have been
received Secretary Alger naturally
has taken no action in the matter.

The leg bones are very hard and

The tail and name are especially val

The ribs and head are burned to make

The phosphate of lime, acted upon
by sulphuric acid and calcined with
carbon, produces phosphorus for luci-

The short hair taken from the hide
is used to stuff cushions and horse col
lars; thus the dead are made to minister
to the comfort of the living.
The hide furnishes waterproof
leather known to the trade as cordovan,
and is used for the manufacture of
high-class hunting and wading boots.
There is an animal oil yielded in the

In the calcining of horses bones the

The hoofs of the animal are removed

AMONG THE POULTRY.

Picking ducks are good market fowls.
For large, heavy fowls have the roosts
low.
Dampness causes leg weakness in
ducks.
The good layers are active and gener-
ally on the move.
Dry earth is good material to scat
ter under the roosts.
When a thrifty bird is fully matured
it is easily fattened.
Early Matched, well developed puIlets
make good winter layers.
Stale bread, soaked in milk, is a good
feed for young poultry.
Thrifty, vigorous one-year-old hens
make reliable winter layers.
Cleanliness and good feeding are the
secrets of success with poultry.
On the average it will cost one dol
lar to keep laying hen one year.
Leghorns and black Spanish lay eggs
with the whitest shells of any breed.
Soft food is an excellent invigorator
when fed warm on cold winter morn
ing.
In finishing turkeys for market shut
them up and feed them literally for a
few days.
There is a good profit in keeping the
hen laying in the winter, even though it
takes a little extra work to do it.
Oil meal, sunfower seed, hemp seed
and buckwheat can all be used to good
advantage in feeding fowls intended for
exhibition.
Scald and allow them to stand over
night in a place where they will not
freeze; this is one of the best ways of
feeding oats to poultry.
1t is natural for some breeds of poul-
try to moult lighter each year, and
hence what are often taken for defects
are only natural to the breed.-St. Louis

Little Timely Care.
If care is taken to look out for all
scraps of wax, cappings and pieces of
combs that for any reason are rejected
1t will make pretty piece of wax in the
course of the year. If solar wax eX-
tractor is used of course it can only be
used when the sun is shining and the
weather warm, making it impossible to
render any wax except in not weather.
But there may be more leisure for il
now, and on one account cold weather
Is desirable. In melting up old black
combs the cocoons in them absorb a
large amount of wax which is lost. TO
prevent such absorption soak the combs
thoroughly in water, so that the cocoons
already filled with water can take up NJ
wax. But you'll find hard matter to
soak the combs full of water unless they
are broken up fine, and if the combs are
not made brittle with cold it will be
impossible to break them up. So it will
be seen that cold weather is to an ex-
tent needed if you want to melt up old
combs. After the combs are broken up
fine they may be saved till hot weather
by the solar extractor, or they may be
melted up at once, of course after
soaking.
One good way to melt combs in win
ter is easily accomplished with only the
ordinary appliances to hand in every
household. Take an old dripping pan
OF course an entirely new one will do as
well-split open one corner clear to the
bottom, and you have one of the best
wax eNtractors. Lay in the material
from which the wax is to be extracted
and put the pan in the oven of the cook
stove with the door left open, and the
split corner of the pan projecting out.
Put something under the inside of the
pan, so as to raise it up, then as the wax
melts it will run out of the split corner
of the pan. To catch the dropping wax
set any vessel convenient, and it may be
well to have in this vessel little water.
Sc the wax will not stick to the bottom.

1t is to support the grain trough. In
the figure the boards are shown slightly
separated so that the construction may
be seen more clearly.
One end of the grain trough may be
closed permanently by board nailed
from post to post, but that at one end
should be hinged to l. so that it may be
dropped to allow the trough to be swept

The posts and arms may be of hard
wood, but all the boards should be of
lighter timber. We used hemlock. 1t
should be planned, at least on the sides
which the sheep touch. Managers may
be made of any desired length.
We made them just long
enough to fit between the posts
in the stable. Unless very short,
there should be three sets of posts to
the rack, as shown in Fig. 2. Cut
notchcs in the bottom boards to let the
posts in. This is necessary to give the
proper position to the arms.
ms manager may be made double
where it is desired to feed from both
sides. 1t will have to be made wider
by the width of the board Z only.
When made double we walk in the
anger to distribute the grain. We, of
course, always see that our feet are
clean. The first rack we made on this
plan was not very satisfactory, because,
ms we learned afterward, we did not
have the proper dimensions. The tops
of the posts over which the adjustable
side revolves need to be rounded. Some
care will have to be used in putting it
together, to have it work easily.-H. p.

HAT MADE FOR TUMBLES.

Like a Bicycle Tire.

It IL Pneumatic and Should BE Inflated
Like Bicycle Tire.
A great many fashionable follies
have been devised this winter to meet
the growing demands of the feminine
skater, and she has adopted them all.
Gowns perfect in fit and rich in fur
have been imported from Paris es-
pecially for her excursions on the ice.
Hats wonderfully coquettish in effect
have been fashioned for no other pur-
pose than to accompany these COS
tunes. And every week new fancies in
gloves, boots and muffs have been Of
fered for the acceptance or disapproval
of the young woman who skates.
In spite of all these provisions for her
comfort, however, the skater has not al
ways managed to keep herself out Of
danger, and the newest invention de-
signed for her is directed to remedy
this evil. She has been provided with
pneumatic skating cap.
The first linking of this remarkable
new addition to the skaters toilette
was gained one evening recently at the
st. Nicholas rink, when young woman
in beautiful skating costume of pop
py-red broadcloth and sable still fur
Their distinguished herself by wearing
brand-new rubber cop.
The new cap, which is very simply
constructed, should be inflated like =
bicycle tire. The pumping in of air
makes the cap SO sure protector that
the merest novice need feel no nervous
ness with one on her head. She may be
so unfortunate as to get tumble side
ways or backward, but her head will
not get hurt, whatever may happen.
Naturally the first problem confront
ing the skater who wishes to assure
her own safety in this novel manner il
that of making the pneumatic hat be-
coming. A simple rubber cap is neither
lovely thing in itself nor becoming to
its wearer. But it is easily possible so
to disguise it that it shall not be recog-
nizable. The milliner to whom has been
intrusted the ornamentation of such
cap promptly covers it with velvet Of
color matching the skating skirt

A HISTORIC SPOT.
The First Settlement Of the Colony Of
Massachusetts BAY.

Massach usetts Bay.
There is one sacred, because historic,
spot in this commonwealth which
should long ago, by gift, purchase, or
in some other way, have become the
property of the state. We refer to the
picturesque Locations variously known
as "Stage Fort" ''Stage Head" and
"Fishermen's Field" in Gloucester. 1t
juts out into the harbor between the
Cut bridge over the canal to the Annis-
guam river and Fresh Water Cove, and
is conspicuous from the railroad trains
entering the city because of the hand
some avenue of elms leading through
it. Its chief service of late years has
been to furnish an accessible circus
field, excepting TO those drawn to it to
view from the shore the magnificent
sweep of the outer harbor, to fish from
its rocks, or to ponder the story Of the
day when it was the site of the fishing
station of the Dorchester company"
the home of some 200 "planters," who
established there the first settlement
of the Massachusetts bay colony.
The property known as the PROV
incc Lands" at the extremity of Cape
Cod, has always belonged to the COM
monwealth, though the people of the
entire village of Provincetown have by
long residence gained title to por-
ton Of it. Here the Pilgrims made
their first landing. "Fishermen's
Field" on Cape Ann, the site of the
first Puritan landing and settlement,
has always been in private hands,
though generously kept open to the
public.
By a fortunate train Of circumstances
this property still remains practically
intact. Gloucester has for years been
hoping to be financially able to pur-
chase it for park, but this has thus far
been impossible. A few years since it
was rumored that Cornelius Wander
bilt had purchased it and would erect
q summer villa, and great was the con-
sternation in the city. Chapter 352 of
the acts of 1891 incorporated Frederick
L. Ames, Philip A. Chase, Christopher
Clarke, Charles r. Goldman, Elisha s.
Converse, George +. Hoar, N. S. Shaler
Francis A. Walker, and others, as 4
corporation, by the name of the Trust
ees of Public Reservations, for the pur-
pose of acquiring, holding, arranging,
maintaining and opening to the public,
under suitable regulations, beautiful
and historic places and tracts of land
within this commonwealth. 1t can ac-
quire and hold these tracts by grant.
gift, devise, purchase, or otherwise.
The Stage Fort property-the remains
Of the revolutionary earthworks add to
it's historic interests both beautiful
and historical. If private generosity
cannot be depended upon to furnish the
funds to place it in the hands of the
trustees, the legislature should appro-
pirate the money, for it certainly is as
deserving of perpetual preservation as
the province lands or any other reser-
vation.-Boston Transcript.
