FARM NOTES.

There is no reason why farmer should
pay fifteen cents for beef and sell his chick.
ems for less, nor should he be content with
pork and potatoes when he can have poultry
on his table. If the markets are dull and
prices are low the best place to dispose of
the surplus is at home.
Get special customers for your butter and
furnish it every week. 1t is worth few
cents per pound to the customers to know
that they are eating pure, clean butter and
not oleo, or some other manufactured stuff,
and there is big difference between cash
and trading out butter.
Corn fodder contains more starch than
clover, while clover is richer in pro-
tein. A ration of both clover and fodder
is excellent where no grain is allowed, as is
sometimes the rule in warm weather. A
mixed ration is better at all times than to
rely entirely upon one kind of food, and
for all classes Of stock.
Parsnips are highly relished by all kinds
of stocks and can remain in the ground
during the winter. They produce from 400
to 1000 bushels per acre. according to soil
and cultivation. If only small plot is de-
voted to them they will be found a well
come addition to the stock rations in win
ter by affording greater variety.
If manure has any value. it is probably
fermenting, even in the coolest weather, If
left in pile. A slight covering of dry
earth will absorb ammonia. and will, if left
on while the manure rots down. make it
nearly or quite as rich as the manure itself.
Its work in absorbing ammonia continues
even when the pile is turned.
The average weld of milk per COW for all
the COWS in the country in 1850 was 700
quarts year. In 1890 the average was 1900
quarts per COW for year. This increase
has been ACCOMPLISHED by the greater use
Of improved breeds. and is equivalent to
nearly doubling the number of cows by
estimating from the amount of milk deriv-
|. ed in 1890.
Butter and eggs seem really made to 60
together, and nothing fits better on dairy
farm than moderate lot of chick ems. Not
only do the latter consume the waste milk
! products with profit. but those who pay the
best prices for golden butter will be quick
est to buy the fresh eggs and the fat poultry.
They mutually help each tile sale of Il e
other.

Kidney diseases are shown by puff.

Rev. De Witt Talmage, the dis
New York divine, is
to Rock Island. He will be
heard here next Sunday evening
At a meeting of tri-city pastors held
at the Young Mems Christian Asso-

decided to arrange two mass meet
ings. one in Davenport and one in
Rock Island, for Rev. Talmage who
will be accompanied by Rev. Hobbs,
of Jacksonville, their mission being
in behalf of the Indian famine relief
fund.
Rev. G. o. McCulloch. of the First
Methodist church. received a tele-
gram from Rev Hobbs stating that
the noted New York minister would
come here if the meetings could be
arranged. and Rev. McCuIloch lost
no time in taking advantage of the
preferred treat. Revs. Talmage and
Hobbs are giving their whole time to
the Indian sufferers, the funds raised
at their meetings all going toward
the purchase ofgrain for them. The
Davenport meeting will be held in
the afternoon. That the mass meet.
ings in both places will be largely
attended goes without saying.

restoring the tired out nervous sys-
tenn to a healthy vigor is Electric
Bitters. This medicine is purely
vegetable, acts by giving tone to the
nerve centers in the stomach, gently
stimulates the Liver and Kidneys,
and aids these organs in throwing of
Impurities in the blood. Electric
Bitters improves the appetite. aids

those who have tried 1t as the very

Action on the Commercial Alley Trouble
Finally Taken.
The city dads were in session an
hour-and-a-half last night, but they
didn't do much.
Aid. Dauber said that the Milan
bridges were badly in need Of paint
ing and that bridge was too low in
view of the present stage of the wa
ter. He said that should the river
rise much more the span would in
all probability b swept from its
bearings. The remedying Of the
matter was left to the new council.
The aldermen had another discus
sion about that sewer in Commercial
alley. E. H. Guyer and Gustav
Stengel had a petition before the
council asking that it be recon
structed and paid for by special as
sessment. Aid. johnson said that
there are other property holders in
terested in the sewer and that they
ought to be heard from before con-
tract was let. He said that they
might have kick coming after it
was built and refuse to stand their
portion of the expense. Aid. Foss
said an easy way out of the difficulty
was the property holders to have an
understanding among themselves.
rebuild the sewer and then turn it
over to the city, and thereby save
court costs and delay. Aid. Dauber
said whatever manner Of proceeding
was adopted something had to be
dome immediately. Then Mr.. STEM
gel told the history of the sewer and
the predicament of the people who
are depending on it As an outlet for
their slop water. An ordinance pro
viding for the reconstruction OF the
sewer was co asidered and adopted
o. H. Jewell, the filter man, who
was booked to appear before the
council. did not show up. He will
in all probability visit the city next
month and submit estimates of the
cost Of improving the waterworki

LAW MAY BE VOID.
New Question as to the judicial
Apportionment.
FINE POINT Is RAISED.

Emergency Clause Essential to It's Co.st,.
tutionaiity Unde. tn. Existi.e Pro-
Visions of the Measure-Conpl,eas,o
Likely to Arise.
While the various judicial circuits
OF the state as composed under the
new apportionment bill are calling
conventions and otherwise arranging
for their elections under the changed
conditions. complications are never.
theless likely to arise such as will
involve the legality of the measure.
The Chicago Times-Herald says:
The unjust and unnecessary iu-
dicial apportionment bill has passed
the house, but the emergency clause
was stricken out and consequently it
must go back to the senate. As it
will probably pass that body in the
same shape and be signed by the
governor. the question arises, what
effect, il any, will it have on the ju-
dicial elections in June? Without
the adoption Of the emergency clause
the law will not go into effect until
July /, so that there will be no new
judicial districts until then. Can
the officers whose duty it is to notify
the people of the Judicial election in
June call such elections for the cir
cults as they are to be after July p
That would be putting the law into
effect before the constitution says it
shall go into effect. 1t would be
tantamount to say that, although
the emergency clause was defeated.
nevertheless it is to be treated as
though it had been adopted.
What the Constitutions Provides.
"But it may be said that the con.
stitution provides that the general
assembly may make q judicial ap.
portionment at its session next pre-
ceding such election of circuit Judges,
but at no other time and that this
is the session next preceding
such election. This being
SO, the people should be allowed to
vote for judges according to this ap.
portionment or otherwise they
could have no benefit from it. But
this is not SO clear. The obvious
meaning of the constitution is that
the session of the general assem- bly,
next preceding the election of the
circuit judges must be that session
wherein law of apportionment can
be passed in constitutional manner.
That could be done at this session by
adopting the law with the emergency
clause. which requires a two-thirds
vote. But if a majority vote alone is
to pass the law, then it must be done
at the session of the legislature held
two years before the judicial election
That this is probably the true con.
strucsion is shown by the fact tina,
the last judicial apportionmen,
made by the general assembly was
in 1877, though the elections were
not held until 1879, or two years
later.
elf this is the construction then
the judicial superintendent withou,
the emergency clause at this session
is unconstitutional and void"
