M'KINLHY'S SATISFACTION.
He Takes "a View Different from the Great
Majority of People.

MAJORITY OF tSoptes
In an interview the other day Prcsf-
deut Mckinley SAID: II am well pleased
with the elections, as they indicate that
fealty 10 the republican party and the
principles 1t represents are stronger than
ever"
The president must take view of the
political situation wholly different from
that taken by the great majority of peo-
pie. Last year he carried the state of
New York by very large majority. This
year the democratic party carried it by a
plurality of more than $4,000 votes. Last
year he carried Ohio by a majority so
large that there was strong suspicion
that many fraudulent republican votes
were cast in that state. This year the
majority for governor was greatly re-
duced, and it is a question whether the
democrats will not have a majority of
the legislature, thus preventing the
presidents friend and political manager
Mark Hanna, from being elected to the
senate. With the result of the elections
in these two states, New York and Ohio,
before him, it is difficult to understood
how the president can be pleased with
the election.
The truth is, the people are tired of the
bossism of Platt in New York and Hanna
ID Ohio, and they are tired of the Ding
leg tariff. They were told that all that
hindereG a return OF prosperity was the
fai ure OF the revenues to meet the ex-
penses of the government, and so the re-

became operative. 1t has been opera

A member of the Chatham delegation
is reported as saying that he thought it
probable that there would have to be
an extra session OF the Legislature to
settle the convict question. He said
there were so many local bills demand
ing attention that the legislature would
not have time to do justice to the con-
Wet ques ion. What have the people to
say respecting the proposition to hold
an extra session? Will they agree to it?
1t would cost a good deal Of money, and
there would be no assurance that the
convict question would be settled salts
factorily, or that a settlement would be
reached that would be better for the
state than if the matter were taken up
and disposed Of at the present session.

Sheep nusbnndrr FOR the South.

There is no doubt but that it would
pay the ordinary farmer in the south
to begin sheep husbandry with small
flock and gradually work up. The adj.
vantage of this course is that the
farmer will secure experience in the
care and handling of the sheep, and
render him better qualified to care for
large flock. The farmer need only
to start with flock of common ewes,
and by proper crossing can bring them
to high standard for wool or mutton.
Thus, at little outlay, the farmer can
obtain flock of sheep worth more
than double the old stock of common
ones. And it must be remembered that
while more hardy than common sheep,
they will eat no more. very
strong point in favor of sheep is that
they yield three crops-one OF wool,
one of lamb and one of manure, and
either one will pay the expense of
raising them. A great drawback to
sheep husbandry in the south is the
dog. If the sheep are housed at night
or put up in dog proof pen, the dogs
will rarely trouble them, as night i;
their time for mischief. especially
after a heavy rain. The better the
care taken of sheep, the better profit
they return. The farmer who turns
his flock of sheep out into the forest t.
forage for and take care of themselves
in all sorts of weather, need not com

The, farmer is engaging too much
capital in proportion to his labor. He
is, as a rule, tilling after fashion over
too large an area. There has been too
much of the skimming-over process.
The farmer has got behind, and,
thinking to regain, has planted beyond
his ability to cultivate and care for
properly. Where he sought to gain
by large acreage he has lost in yield

harder than ever before in his life,
and the small achievement has dis.
couraged him, and too often he has

ELEPHANT NOT CLEVER.
Popular Belief Contradicted by an
English Writer.


The elephant possesses very charm
ing characteristics and makes very
pleasant companion. For one thing he
is not easily misled, and he is very ODE
dent to the slightest hint given by his
mahout.
In speed he is scarcely record-hreak'
er, but he can get over the ground in his
shutting way at the rate of 10 miles al
hour when he likes.
There is one thing that he is not
he is not really clever animal, in spite
of all the tales in the story books to ths
contrary, otherwise he would not suf
fer himself to be so easily captured in
the kheddahs, the huge forest Enclosure
into which the hunters drive the herds
of elephants for the purpose of cap
ture.
All the actions which are apparently
spontaneous on the part of the work
ing elephant, are really performed at
the bidding of the mahout. The driver
on his neck directs every movement by
the pressure of the knee, and as the
mans knees are concealed under
the elephants ears it is very easy to i'm.
agine that the elephant thinks for him
self.
When the mahout elects, for change
to sit on the saddle, or pad, he drives
with his feet, and the dullest eye can de-
tect how rub of the heel on the right
shoulder turns the elephant to the left
and vice versa.
After his tractability, his gentleness
is the elephants most marked charac
teristic. The mahout takes cruel adj
vantage of his disposition sometimes

billet of wood, or-if free from risk o.

Feeding Pigs Regularly.

Much depends in feeding pigs on Civ
ing their food at regular intervals.
The pig will very soon become used to
this, and will not expect his food until
the next regular feeding time comes.
The old saying that squealing pig
loses a pound of fat every time it
squeals has this much of truth in it,
that the irregular times for feeding
which occasions most of the squealng
is the surest way to destroy digestion.
This in pigs is not.so strong as is often
supposed. The pig isgreedy by nature.
Others must see to it that it does not
eat more nor, oftener than is good for
it.-Farmers' Home journal.
