THE FARMERS RIGHTS.
Producers Should Have Ample Pro-
lection.

Senator Warren, of Wyoming, voiced
a common sentiment in the west when
he said that the tariff bill must recog-
nize agricultural, mining and lumber
interests, as well as those OF eastern
manufacturers. He had observed ten
dency, in respect of wool, coal, sugar
and other natural products, to yield
every point to the middleman, sub
tracing from the duties proposed by
the producer at his demand for cheaper
raw material. This policy would, he
said, be fatal if adopted. 1t certainly
ought to be.
AS the chief sufferers from the Cor
man-Wilson tariff, the farmers were the
stanchest advocates in the late cam
paign of republican success. They car
ried New York, Indiana, Kentucky,
Minnesota, Iowa, North Dakota and
Oregon and all but few of the remain
ing Mckinley states. They did 80 for
their own relief under the pledge of the
st. Louis platform to make the new
tariff equitable as between the producer
and manufacturer. To break faith with
them now would be 10 do violence to
principle and policy alike, and the net
political result would DO damaging to
every great interest in the country. No
tariff bill, as Senator Warren says,
could pass, and the defeat of the meas
ure, as we may add, would, under the
circumstances, lead 10 profound re-
action against the republican party.
Wool must be protected as well as it
was in the Mckinley bill. The farm
products in which there is Canadian
competition should have ample safe
guards, including, of course, the staple
product of lumber. California, which
went republican ON the tariff issue.

oI-MccaATIo SPLIT AGAIN.
The rarty of Discord IL Now In a bae
Way.

oncemore the democracy has achieved
the apparently impossible. 1t has man
aged to split itself again, and thus
broken the precedents in another place.
A party out of power is ordinarily forced
into a semblance of harmony Win itseii'
Its function is to oppose the maJori'y'
and this, when the majority is an active,
aggressive organization, as the repuD-
lican is, keeps the minority so busy that
IL has neither the incentive nor the
opportunity to quarrel with itseii. In
general this has been the order OF things
with every great party from the begin
ming of the government.
But the democracy is not hamperen
by examples or traditions. and while so
far in the minority in the house OF rep
resentatives that it is powerless to ma
terially affect the course of legislation
it has shattered itself on the question OF
the sort of opposition 1t will offer to the
dominant republican party. One rae
ton wants to coincide in the republican
programme Of doing nothing further in
the house in the way of practical legis-
lation until the senate passes the tar1n
bill. while the other element would fight
this programme, and try to force the
republicans in the house to go ahead
with the business OF legislation just the
same as If this we're regular session.
The first-named faction is under the d.
rection-so far as any segment of the
democracy can be said to be under the
direction Of anybody or anything-of
Bailey, of Texas, while the more promi-
nent spirits in the other section are
Bland and McMillin- The latter faction
has the ADLER men, but is the smaller in
number.
This absence of harmony which the
democracy reveals even when in the mi
nority Calls attention to a serious con-
stitutional defect in that organization.
That defect is lack of leadership. 1t is
defect which has chung to that party
ever since the war days. Not for third

for the lack of discipline and cohesive
ness in that party, and its failure to ac-

power. In this respect the democracy
has been distinctively weaker than the
republican party. In the ante-bellum

Raise Your Own Vanilla.

One of the things largely imported,
which might be produced in this coun-
try, is vanilla. This plant is one of the
half-dozen species of orchid that have
any value except for their flowers. It's
original home was in Eastern Mexico,
but it is now cultivated in tropical
countries all over the world. There is
no reason why it should not be grown
with profit in the United States, under
glass. This is done successfully i'll
England and France. Most OF the
worlds supply Of vanilla is produced
on the slopes of the Cordilleras. In
nature it depends for it's fertilization
on a kind of moth that is found only
in Mexico. Consequently, in other
countries the flowers have to be fer
tilted artificially by touching the
stigmas with the pollen. In this way

Ho" Cholera. - Three-fOurths or
more of the cases reported to be hog
cholera are not hog cholera, is the
position [ take, says S. W. Cox inWis-
consin Farmer. There was one time
that [ think | had the genuine article;
and when you get that, the poke root,
the carbolic, soda and sulphur man,
and all those fellows that advertise
sure cures for hog cholera, have to
take a back seat.
Now, to prove my positions: Last
fall two cases were reported in my
county, one party being a breeder. He
sent for a veterinarian. He had lost
three or four pigs, perhaps that
would weigh from 1875 to $50 pounds.
. len the doctor came there was
about twenty of the above size sick.
They killed the hardest looking case
and dissected it, but they found no
trace or sign of cholera but chock full
of worms, both big and little-from
three-fourths of an inch to eight in
ches long, and one of the big fellows
had eaten Trough the intestines and
had buried his head solid in the liver
So he doctOred for worms, lost few
of his head got all right, and have
been ever since.
When the regular orthodox hog
cholera breaks out in a herd the
owner does not have very much time
to go to the drug store and get a sup
ply of the 'sure cures to dope his
pigs with If he does, his pigs will all
be dead before he gets back to use
very much of it,
[ remember such an outbreak when
| was boy. Hogs in the "fattening
PEN would jump up, give a squeal or
two and fall over dead. But in the
most cases reported now, the pig lives
anywhere from one to four and in
some cases six weeks, and in such
cases I think it absurd to treat such
cases for cholera.
I have been breeding fine hogs since
1872 and Poland-Chinas since 'S4, and
during that time | have had one out

Sore Shoulders in Horses.


At a meeting of the Arthurton
branch of the South Australian Bu-
reau of Agriculture, Mr.. j. B. Rowe
read a paper on the General Treat
ment of Horses Shoulders" from
which the following is short eN-
tract:
In many cases horses which last
reaping season suffered from sore
shoulders were turned out after the
work was finished, no attention being
paid to the sores. Now these horses
are being brought in to do the seeding
work. Their owners are surprised
that the sores soon break out again.
They say the shoulder must be very
tender, Or it is impossible to get a
proper fitting collar, and various
other excuses are made. All kinds of
treatments are resOrted to, collars are
cut, pads put on, false collars used etc.
AS far as my experience goes it is of
very little use doing this while the
horse is at work. The cause of the
trouble is neglect. While the horses
are worked they are seldom properly
cleaned, very likely there is no comb
or brush, or if there is it was worn
out years ago, and not fit for the pur-
pose, while the collars themselves are
never brushed. After we have finish
ed working the horses those that are
affected should be attended to. Get a
pint of spirits Of turpentine (nOt oil
OF turps), and pint or two of salad
of neatsfoot oil. If the sore is much
infiamed or scurfy, apply little Of
the raw spirits lightly two or three
times. Afterwards mix about equal
quantities of the turpentine and oil,
shake it up well, and apply to the
sores until the scurf begins to come
off. Then brush the shoulders we'll
and apply mixture of one part turpen-
tine to three of oil, and as the Shout
ders heal add more oil to the mixture,
applying it once a day until well. If
properly attended to, no marks will
show. To prevent the forming Of
sores w. en- starting work again, first
see that the collars are clean, then
take a round stick about eighteen in
ches long, stand the collar top down
wards, and beat it into shape, as near
ly all of them get fat hard and out of
shape, after being laid aside for a
time This will also tend to soften
them, and make them more cOmfOrta-
bic for the horses. 1t is a good plan
to do this once or twice a week while
using them. See that the collars fit
properly, and that the names set
right. Some horses want the draught
higher than others, and each farmer
must find out the best position for his
animals. The shoulders of the horse
must be kept clean, using brush and
comb every time it is worked. AS. a
