The Merits Of Bryan's OratOrY Discussed.

Recently the Advocate published a
paragraph referring to the partisanship
Of Charles F. Scott, editor of the lola
Register, in which an editorial referring
to Mr.. Bryan personally was mentioned,
The Register reprints it with the follow
ing comments
Which simply shows that the AdvO-
cate man judges the Register, not by
what it says, but by what other papers
say it says-which is vastly different
matter. If the Advocate critic had read
the Register he would have seen that it
was POpulist who said that there were
dozen better speakers in Allen county
than Mr.. Bryan; and he would have
seen also that the Register gave out a
quarter Of column to Mr.. Bryan per-
sonally, while it gave over five columns
to his doctrines and theories The
Register is not surprised when the small
fry Populist papers misrepresent and
abuse its editor, to divert attention from
the fact that they are not answering its
arguments. But great big able paper
like the Advocate ought to be above that
sort of bushwhacking
The Advocate is not in the habit OF
relying on secondhand information
when it can obtain it first-hand from
papers on it's exchange list. But in
order that readers may judge for them
selves as to the fairness of the reference
to Mr.. Scott, his editorial referring to
Mr.. Bryan personally is here given in
full:
"a second hearing confirms the i'm
preston made by the first regarding the
rank that should be given Mr.. Bryan
as public speaker He is not an ora
tor. AT least in the two public ad-
dresses we have now heard him make
he did not touch even the outskirts of
oratory. There are no OratOriCal climaxes
that move the heart or stir the blood.
There are no graces of composition, no
attempt at rhetorical adOrnment. He is
fluent, of course, as a man should be who
is repeating practically the same speech
he has made a thousand times. But his
vocabulary is limited to the cOmmOnest
Worda and the most threadbare forms
of expression. We heard one disap-
pointed POpulist declare that there were
dozen men in Allen county who could
make better speech. There are GER
tainly scores Of men in Kansas who are
far more accomplished political orators.
Mr. Bryan Is smart stump speaker who
knows well how to conceal the weak
points Of his own argument and to make
more glaring any apparent discrepancy
in that of his opponents. But it is GER
tainly a misuse of the word to term
him an orator"

Sage Was Working a Bluff.

Last week the Union Pacific foreclos-
ure sale was given added interest by
the announcement that Russell Sage
would head syndicate to bid against
the Morgan reorganization crowd Of cap
italists. But in very few days Sage
was denying the story. Now it appears
that Sage was merely working bluff to
compel the original syndicate to give
him a chance at larger portion of the
plunder. He had previously had an Op-
pOrtunity to place 100000, but after the
papers announced that he would take
a hand in the matter himself he was
given an opportunity to invest $2,OOO,-
600, and that seemed to satisfy him.

Raise Good stock.

The effect of low prices on horses
aud cattle has been to create an
interest in better stock. Farmers
are learning that it is to their adj
vantage to attempt to compete with
those who resort to the pure breeds,
as quality is sought at the present
day more than formerly. Beef
cattle have been greatly improved
in the East owing to the Western
dressed-beef trade, the object being
to control the market here by pro-
ducing choice cattle. The butter
production of the individual COWS is
also increasing, and more calves are
being raised that are we'll bred. If
low prices and necessity force an
abandonment of scrub stock en-
tirely the farmers will, in a few
years, more than regain all that
they may have lost from present
reduced profits.

Horse Talk.

If your horse has had particu-
larly hard drive, or has been work
ed until he is very tired, give him
a little rest before he is fed. Rub
him we'll all over and give his legs
particular attention. Every farm
er should raise few carrots You
can feed at least third less oats
and the horse will do better. They
cost less to raise than oats, and you
will have the satisfaction of having
your horses in better condition at
less cost. Ii your horse bolts his
feed put a few cobblestones in his
manger or handful of shelled corn
we'll mixed with the oats. Low
managers are best for horses. Go
slowly with the colts; do not expect
them to do as much work as the
old horses. Give them time to
learn and develop. Never lose pa
thence with the colt, he will know
it in a second, and your mastery
over him, and trick or bad habit
may be the result. Use only the
frst-class thoroughbred sire of the
very best type. Don't lose sight Of
Morgan blood if it is within reach.

Teaching the Calf.

The successful calf-feeder will al
ways use more tact than force in
teaching calf to drink, and never
allow foolish calf to betray him
into a passion or display of brutal
force. Do not allow the calf to suck
the whole hand, or a single finger,
but, placing the palm of either hand
over it's nose, give it the tips of two
fingers to try to suck. In this po-
sition you can gently force the nose
into the milk held in convenient
sized pail in the other hand. By
separating the fingers you hold back
the sides of the tongue, and insure
the entrance of milk when the calf
draws.
If the milk is warm there will be
less trouble, and you will give the
calf more or less of the two fingers,
according to the success in keeping
it's nose down in the business.
When he does we'll you will hardly
be touching his tongue or lips, but
if it acts badly give much more sur
face and allow it to touch the fin
gers and get sup now and then
to encourage it.
Some calves will drink from the
first to the third trial, while others
will persist in needing the fingers
for a much longer tim. -Te9os

watering Horses.

No detail of caring for horses
during the Summer is OF more i'm
portance than supplying them with
water. 1t is a matter for regret
that it is necessary to call attention
to the neglect Of working horses in
this respect, but it seems necessary
to do so. Many men who feed their
stock literally, furnish warm places
for them in Winter, and keep the
stables as cool as possible during
the Summer, seem to forget that the
team that is working under burn
ing sun in the field from morning
until noon must suffer from thirst
in way that is intensely agonizing.
ANY man who tries to work half
a day in the harvest field without
drinking will soon begin to feel
some of the effects of going without
water when making severe exertion
on hot day, and will appreciate
the condition of a hard-working
horse under the same conditions.
Sometimes it seems like waste
of time to stop team and take 1T
to get drink, but time spent in
this way is never wasted, for the
team will do enough more to make
up for the stop. There are places
where it seems impossible to give
the team a drink between break fast
and noon and between noon and
supper, but there is no shadow of
excuse for leaving a team hitched
to the fence without water while
the driver goes to his supper and
then comes back to work the team
until dark without water from noon
until that time. Such a proceed
| ing is not so common as itonce was,
but it is still practiced to some ex-
tent, and is the worst sort of cruelty
to animals.
Horses perspire freely, and are
the only domestic animals that do,
and their need for water is increased
as the amount of Precipitation in
creases, and during the hot weather
every effort should be made to pre-
vent them from thirst, which is the
worst sort of torture.

Evidences or Success.

Show us farmer that keeps his
fences up in good shape, the weeds
all cut in and around the yard, and
the buildings kept in clean and
neat shape, and you will show us a
good and successful farmer. Why
farmers will tolerate mud hole to
exist along the farmside, or perhaps
near the front yard is very hard to
conceive. Such places add disgust
to the surroundings. Houses, barns,
fences, and yards should be kept
neat and tidy. Farmers should
take pride in keeping tidy places.
They add to the price of the property
as we'll as to the comfort of all.

The new beet sugar factory at
Los Angeles has just turned out its
first batch of sugar. The product
is the finest quality of the white
granulated article, and the mana
gers and patrons of the enterprise
are as much pleased at the entire
success of the undertaking, so far
as the character of the plant is con-
cerned. This is, it is asserted, the
finest and best equipped beet sugar
factory in existence. Work was
begun upon it nine months ago, and
it is now complete in every detail,
and grinding hundreds of tons Of
beets per day. The beets raised in
the vicinity of Los Angeles have
proved to be peculiarly rich in
saccharine matter and the farmers
are greatly encouraged. One nota-
BILE feature of the construction OF
the factory is that all the materials
and all the machinery are of Ameri-
can origin, the factory having been
designed and built by Cleveland

FOR THE FARMER.


Notes for Bee Keepers.
Keep extracted honey in an open
vessel.
Drones do not live 80 long as
workers.
Do not forget to supply water for
the bees.
Queenless swarms nearly always
build drone comb. hsva
A little extra attention should
be given to weak colonies.
All excess of drone comb should
be removed from the hives now.
The best time to extract the hon.
ey is just as the bees begin Gaping.
Never leave newly hived swarm
near the place where it has clus-
tered
Combs not in use should be stored
where bees and mice cannot get to
them.
The queens of the Italians are
more prolific than those of other
breeds.
In every case where comb is to
be built, furnish the bees with foun-
dalton.
In hiving swarms all washes for
the hives are useless. Simply have
them clean.
Smoking or any such handling
excites the bees and causes them to
uncap the honey.
By extracting in good season un-
Gaping may be avoided, and the
honey is thick and ripe.
Always use full sheets of foun-
dation in the brood frames; they
may be used in sections.
Early in the morning is a good
time to take off honey. It has had
all night for evaporation.
If it is desired to get at the hive
in the middle of the day always
approach it from the side or rear.
1t IS useless to expect bees to
work in supers when they have
space untitled in the body OF the
hive.
In order to have honey free from
comb and other impurities, strain
it through a coarse cloth or wire
sieve.
Old queens are more inclined to
swarm than young ones; hence it is
often a good plan to requiem with
young ones.
Two drones cost as much to raise
as three workers, and after they are
raised they keep on eating, while
the workers labor.
Combs partly filled with unsealed
honey should be put in the upper
story of some of the hives until the
honey is taken by the bees.
The use of comb foundation not
only saves a good deal of labor and
time to the bees, but it also secures
straight combs in the frames.
It is we'll to remember that combs
cost the bees about ten pounds of
honey for every pound of comb,
hence they should be taken care of.
Any colony of bees may be read
lily changed to pure Italian stock
by removing the old queen and in
Producing an Italian in her place.
Bees usually swarm because they
get so populous in the hives that
there is not room enough to store
honey, rear brood or be comforta-
BILE.
1t is a mistake Il, allow colony
of bees to become overstocked with
drones. When bees are allowed to
build their own comb they are al
most certain to do this.

salt ON Manure.

There is no better way to make
manure soluble an quickly fitted to
give its fertility to crops than to
throw salt on it. Salt hastens de-
composition when used in small
quantities, and its attraction for
moisture helps to keep the manure
from firefanging Applying salt
and land plaster in equal proper
tons to manure heaps is an excell-
ent plan. The ammonia liberated
by fermentation will be absorbed by
the plaster, making sulphate of
ammonia, which is very powerful
and quick-acting fertilizer.

pERsI LABOR Utopia
The Social Democracy OF America DaI!
Launched at Chicago.

The Social Democracy OF America Duly
Launched at Chicago.
CHICAGO, June 1s.-The American
Railway union was yesterday formally
adjudged by 2. V, Debs and his follow
ers to be a corpse, and the social
democracy of America was launched to
take its place. This was quickly settled
at meeting of the A. R. U. delegates
yesterday, but when it came to the
declaration Of principles under which
the social democracy is to exist there
was trouble from the start. Six hours
of wordy warfare terminated, how
ever, in the adoption of the platform
on which the social democracy is to
stand. The document starts as fCl-
lows.
Labor, manual and mental, being the only
creator OF wealth and civilization, II righ6ully
follows that all those who perform ali labor
and create all wealth should enjoy the results
Of their efforts, but this is rendered impossible
by the modern system Of production.
1t is declared that thousands OF men
work in shops cooperating to the
most efficient division of labor, but the
fruits Of this cooperative labor are in
a measure appropriated by the owners
Of the means Of production. The
present economic system of the cOun-
try is considered and condemned at
some length and the declaration Of
principles closes with the following
call for recruits:
We call upon ell honest citizens to enlist I'M
der the banner OF the social democracy Of
America, so that We may be ready to conquer
capitalism by making use Of cur political lib
erty and By taking possession OF public power
so that We may put an end to the present bar
barous struggle by the abolition Of capitalism,
by the restoration Of land ana Of all OF the
means Of production, transportation and dis
tFibutiOn TO the people as a collective body,
and the substitution Of q cooperative COM
mOnWealth Tor the present state Of painless
production industrial warfare and social dis
order
A commonwealth which, although It will moi
make all men equal physically OF mentally,
viii give TO every worker the free exercise and
full benefit Of his faculties, multiplied by all
the modern factors Of civilization and ulti-
mately inaHguFate the universal brotherhood
Of man. For such purposes one Of the states
OF the union to be hereafter determined, shall
be selected for the concentration OF cur sup
porteEs, gradually extending the sphere Of OpeF-
ations until the national Cooperative cCm-
m0nWealth shall be established.

A Story Current That the Gigantic Sugar
Trust Wants the Island.

a STORY current InaU the Gigantic sugar
Trust Wants the Island.
WASHINGTON, June g. "A story is
current that the sugar trusthas evolved
or accepted an ambitious suggestion
that Cuba is substantially for sale; and
might as well become sugar pIantaz
ton for a gigantic corporation, sup=
ported by the sympathy and the inter-
est Of our country In other words
that we might have West India
company; as England had an
East India company and d Hud=
son Bay company, each of which
aided vastly in the extension Of
the British empire, 1t is said that the
Spanish minister to the United States
eabled recently to Madrid reports Of
the disposition of our government to
decline to interfere by force and also
to support Cuban autonomy, and that
this cable prevented the recall
of Weyler when a change in the
Spanish ministry was in the air to
send to Cuba Campos, who closed the
ten years war with cash in hand; and
might do the same Job now by the
same means, much cheaper than Spain
can keep 100000 soldiers in the field;
Col. John j. McCook is the man credit
ed with the imagination to conceive
the capture of Cuba with cash as d
means Of peace. This, as Col. McCook
understands it, is merely a matter OF
business.
The advantage to the Spaniards
would be peace and the extinction of
some hundred millions of hopeless
debt, for the creditors of Spain would
be glad to scale her obligations, and
she would have a large sum of money
in hand, instead of a Cuba of blood
and ashes on her hands, The gain to
Cuba would be government by cor
poration, limited, instead of a crown
absolute, and there could be a
contract guaranteeing civil liberty to
the peOple on United States models.
