Tin plate, which our democratic
statesmen said some years ago
would never be manufactured in this
country, is not only being manufac-
tured successfully now, but is being
exported from this to other coun-
tries. A little time usually proves
that republican policies are all right,
when the opposition hubbub entirely
ceases. The republican principle OF
protection is almost the settled poll
CIV OF the American people-so far as
this generation is concerned, not
w~ithstanding the one-time thunder
GUS noise for free trade, the markets
of the world, etc. The republican
principle of sound money is the same,
and the longer they think about it
the less do people want any cheap
money scheme. A tremendous hur-
rah in opposition to somerapublican
principle or policy OF government is
invariably followed later on by just
as general endorsement.

Popular Judges.

Aberdeen News.-Governor Shell
don's judicial appointments seem to
have been eminently satisfactory to
the people. His first appointee, SUI
preme Judge Fuller, commands uni
versal confidence and will undoubt-

of his term. Judge Gaffy, who was
appointed to the seat on the bench
of the 9th circuit made vacant by
the promotion OF Judge Fuller, was
recently nominated by reclamation
as his own successor, and is SO well
liked the populists will not put up a
candidate against him. Then at
Mitchell, on Saturday, Judge Frank
Smith, who was appointed to sue
ceed Judge Haney after the latter's
elevation to the supreme bench, was
the unanimous nominee OF the repub-
leans of his circuit for the same po-
sition. Judge Haney, of the supreme
court, also the a%ppointee OF the gov
ernor, is highly respected and highly
popular, and can be elected to the
place without the slightest difficulty.

row passage, where two persons can

between the noise and hustle of the

OATS AND ANTHRAX.


A case of much interest to farmers
has been decided in one OF tine Eng,

ground that the oats had contalneo uhe
germs of anthrax, which had caused
the disease to break out in his stables
and led to the loss of SO horses. some
of these were covered by insurance,

the others. Several corn dealers VINO
had bought some of the oats IN ques-
ton from the plaintiffs, mixed and IN
mixed. and sold them again said they
had received no complaints concerning
them. An expert veterinary surgeon
said the oats had a considerable guam
tity of dirt in them, and should not
have been fed to horses without being
screened. He thought it possible that
winnowing the oats would have got
rid of the bacilli, as it was possible, II
there were any spores, they were all
ON the surface. He Thought there was
room to doubt that the oats in ques-
ton caused the horses to die. The jury
found that the goods were unmer-
charitable by reason of latent germs OF
anthrax in them when they were first
delivered to the defendant; that the
defendant had not been guilty OF neg
ligence in not having cleaned them,
but that he had been SO guilty by fea-
son of not taking the order OF a second
supply of the oats off the file. Juag-
ment was given for the plaintiff for
$11O, the value of the second lot OF oats
supplied, and for the defendant for
81, 400, the value Of IL horses which
died in consequence of the first de-
livery.

ABOUT sTREAKY BUTTER.

The most frequent cause Of streaky
or notified butter is. an unequal d1strl-
button of the salt. Where shallow set
ting lis used if the milk stands too long
a time in dry atmosphere before skim
ming, some OF the cream may become
so thick and hard that it never be-
comes thoroughly mixed with the rest
and is imperfectly churned. This may
cause streaks. Unequal ripening of the
cream may possibly cause streaks.
Suppose the cream in the cream jar is
very cold and thick. The housewife
sets the jar, in very cold weather, near
the stove to have it warm up. She is
busy and does not keep it properly
stirred. One side of the cream gets
warm and ripened and the rest does
not. The result is possibly streaky
butter Such things have happened.
Now, the remedy for ell these troubles
is to have the cream all ripened alike,
with no thick hard chunks of cream
in it. Then churn at as low tenn
perature as can be done without TAX
ing too long a time. Then the butter
will come in fine granular form. Stop
the churn when the granules are fine
like clover, or at most not larger
than kernels of wheat. Draw off the
buttermilk and wash the. butter while
in this granular state. Mix in fine
sifted salt evenly through the whole.
Let it stand at a temperature of so to
65 degrees for four to six hours, Or
long enough for the salt to dissolve.
Then work and pack it. The sailing
must be done while the butter has
plenty of moisture in it, then the salt
will steadily dissolve. Work a little
when the salt is first put in. If there
are any streaks caused by the salt
changing the color of the butter they
will disappear in the second working.

FOR BEEKEEPERS

Allow NO Stock of any kind to run
in the apiary during the winter.
Windbreaks around the beehives-
during the winter are very beneficial.
Do not allow hives of bees to stand
on high benches: set them down close
to the ground.
If the bees need feeding there is
nothing better than to put a frame of
sealed honey in their hives.
Do not feed bees at night. 1t throws
them off their guard, interferes with
their regular routine of work and is
generally detrimental.
If the weather is too cold for the
bees to come out, and they must be fed
feed in the hives and try to keep all
covered as warm as possible.
To prevent robbing close the en-
trance so as to give passage for only
a single bea at a lime. This is effec-
tive if the bees will defend them
selves.
Many beekeepers may profit in les
sons of neatness and cleanliness from
the bee, especially in marketing the
products of the bees labor. Care in
placing products upon the market in .
neat, cleanly shape insures better
prices.
To make the most out OF keeping
bees there must be the best bees, the
best hives and all modern appliances.
A man must also have liking for the
business. II he is not willing to spend
the time on the bees that they require
for their proper management, he had
better let them alone.-St. Louis Re-
public.
