The comments favoring the elec-
tion of Clough to succeed Senator
Davis are far-fetched. We do not
wish to cast any reflection upon
the judgement of our brethren,
but it would seem they do not ap-
preciate the gravity of the situa-
ton when they urge the retire.
ment of Senator Davis from
among those constituting the gov
ernment Of our country. Senator
Davis not only has the advantage
of experience but is SO far superior
to Clough Intellectually that there
is no chance for a comparison.
The result of last election should
convey to everyone correct infor-
nation as to the standing of Gov.
Clough with the voters, (not ma
chipe), of the state. It would be
reflection on tho intelligence OF
the state to supercede a man OF
Davis ability with that of Clough.
Clough is all right in his place,
but his place is not in the halls of
congress.

dairying, and indeed, dairying has
stimulated hog raising; and now
that cholera has invaded the hog
pens, farmers are looking to some
thing else. Meanwhile calves and
young cattle have been largely
sold for slaughter or to feeders in
other states who have made big
money out of them. It ought to
have been demonstrated long ago
that if young cattle were profitable
to buy here and ship elsewhere to
feed and fatten, that it would be
profitable here, where coarse grains
grow in abundance. If the hog
cholera will now teach farmers to
raise their young cattle, feed them
we'll from calves to the beef age,
and get all the profit in themsel-
yes on the farm, the cholera may
prove something of a blessing in
disguise-not in abandoning hog
raising, but in raising cattle for
beef. They must also learn that
profit in beef cattle requires full
feeding from the earliest age to
maturity, to maintain rapid
growth; and that steer of heifer
we'll fed all the time, will make
more and better beef at two years
old than a poorly fed animal at
three years, besides the saving of
one-third the time and some feed.

good thing to keep in touch with
those people now if one wants to
know what is going on. 1 did not
do McCleary any injustice. He
has made some appointments
which are unsatisfactory. He has
made some mistakes. It would be
very strange if he did not. He
has turned some men down whose
friends thought had a right to be
recognized. From his point of
view be may have done the very
best thing possible. From the
point of view Of others, he has not.

ARTHUR W. DUNN.
The Worthington advance., 1897-11-04

Some time ago, I mentioned the
fact that all of Representative Nc.
Cleary's post-oftice appointments
had not given satisfaction. In
fact, I think I said that they had,
in some instances, been quite un-
satisfactory and had caused some
complaint. Now, this was no at
tack on McCleary. It was a fact,
and possibly every man in con-
gress who has had to make post
Office appointments has had the
same experience. The fact is not
worth adverting to except for the
fact that the man who assumes to
know and write all the politics in
Minnesota jumped and asserted
that I was writing at too long
range and did not know what I
was taking about. But as I spent
two weeks in McCleary's district,
as McCleary's district is my old
home, as I was in the district and
in it's politics before McCleary
ever came to the district, as I read
a number of country papers from
that district, and as, while I was
there, I had an opportunity to see
a number of people who really do
know what is going on, I may say
that I was not writing at long
range, nor was I Influenced by
Frank Day, whom I did not see,
and whose paper I do see. When
I wrote Minnesota politics regu-
larily, I did not sit still in St.
Paul and Minneapolis, but I went
about the state. I did not get my
information then and I didn't get
it this time from the regular old
stagers who call themselves the
politicians Of Minnesota. I went
out among the people. I saw men
who were not Office holders and
perpetual Office seekers, but men

It would probably not call forth

it would seem was sufficient, but
|Mr. O'Hearn would not listen to
that. He wanted to send the en-

two being delegated. If this is
not a piece of extravaganza we are
unable to realize where economy

WORRIED BY ENGLAND's STAND,
French Journals View of British Friend
ship for America-RuInor ola
New Treaty.

Paris.-The Temps is much worried
over the Anglo-American relations and
asks ii Great Britain is going to sep
arate herself from the rest of Europe to
contract an alliance with the United
States.
Washington. Henry White, secre-
tary of the American Embassy in Lon
don, is here on an important diplo-
matte mission in connection with the
relations of this Government to that of
Great Britain, and with the particular
relations growing out OF the present
situation between this country and
Spain. One high in Administration
circles said that Mr.. White is here in
connection with the preparation of a
new treaty between the United States
and Great Britain, somthing on the
line, he believed, of the arbitration
treaty which failed last year. On this
point, however, he was uncertain He
only knew that some kind of negotia-
tons We're in progress and that Mr..
White is here in connection with
them.
The only information vouched for in
response to inquiry at the State Depart
ment is that Mr.. White is here in con
nection with certain affairs pending
in the Embassy in London. In spite OF
all this mystery, there is good reason
to believe that he is here with, per-
haps, a proposition-a sounding" is
the exact diplomatic word-for this
Government from Great Britain as ia
new treaty SO wide in its scope as to
include not only arbitration, but even
alliance under certain circumstances;
certainly with nothing less than posi-.
tive assurances of the friendship of the
British Government in the present
crisis, and its willingness to go to any
extent to prove this good feeling.

If the growth of the little chicks are

FOR THE FARMERS.
Some Interesting News for the
Ruralist
SPOKEN OF IN THIS COLUMN.
A Few Sensible Hints to Salt the Busy
AKrleulturist.-Items That May
BsDeat our Rsaders.


The effect Of newly worked soil
surface upon the frost-wOrk on adjacent
plants is matter of some controversy.
Mr.. Alexander Gordon Of Fresno tells
of ease in his experience in which
grape vines were badly frost-nipped
just as far a. the ground had been
turned by the cultivator the day be-
fore, and where the ground was un-
stirred there was no injury. This OBJ
servation seems to agree exactly with
what j. S. Woodward tells the Rural
New Yorker. He says:
| have noticed that when we had a
frost it was always hardest on land re-
Gently cultivated or that was damp.
BY this | mean that on field in which
we were cultivating any crop during
the day and until night, on that part
Of the field worked so late that the sur
face stayed moist, the frost was marked
ly heavier in the morning. With the
same degree Of temperature, more
damage is done when the ground is
damp, as, for instance, after rain or
during a wet spell. | always expect
more damage from frost, with the same
marking of the thermometer, in wet
than in dry time. Also, more on
sandy or loamy land than on that which
is stony. We all know that evapora-
tion takes up heat rapidly, and evapor-
alton is more rapid from damp than
from a dry soil, and also from soil
free from stones than from one nearly
covered with them. 1t is a popular
notion that stones hold and absorb
heat, and, of course, large stone that
goes down deep into the ground, being
good conductor of heat, will radiate
more heat than the soil about it. But
think that the real reason why frost
is less severe on stony ground is that
so much of the surface is covered with
stones that less evaporation takes place
to absorb heat. l have no doubt that
il the soil be stirred early enough so
as to become thoroughly dry on the
surfac9, it will have some effect in pre-
venting damage by frost. There are
some queer things about the action of
frost. | remember once visiting a
friend who had lot of tin sap pals,
and one night when it was cold and he
feared a hard frost, he covered lot of
tomato plants and hills of melons;
those covered We're really killed worse
than some left uncovered. Covering
with the tin pals was actually dam.

sumo regarding the settlement of the
Chinese question?
would not say that As | said be-
fore, do not think that the matter Of
an alliance can now be intelligently
and dispassionately discussed on the
basis Of an individual ease. Ii is a
question Of principle, Of advisability,
and, therefore, to say We should rush
into an alliance Of any sort because Of
one reason or another i unwise. 1t is
possible that England's support would
be of aid to us in the Chinese matter.
Certainly the United States cannot
assume an attitude Of Indifference,
for her commercial interests that are
involved are altogether too important.
We are inclined to look at China as
from New York has nothing to do
with the matter. Oar commerce, our
traffic with the Eastern countries is
possession Of San Francisco and the
Pacific Coast We must recognize that
fact The day is coming when all that
section of the United States will be
filed with people just as ii is east OF
the Mississippi Considering this fact,
the necessity of action by our Govern
ment in the Chinese matter is clearly
apparent.

A COW to do we'll at the pail must be
a hearty eater.
Make your butter as good and sweet
as you know how.
Neatness of package is a great adj
vantage in the sale of butter.
The milking organs of the heifer
must be well developed if she makes a
good COW.
Butter that has been properly made
will not stick to the knife blade when
being cut.
The reason of white specks in butter
in majority of cases comes from
Oversouring of the cream.
Cream should be churned before it
becomes rank acid, whether that comes
the day it is SKINNED or the day after.
Any improvement in dairying that
will lessen the cost of production will
amount to the same as an increase in
price.
The man who watches his cows the
closest is the one who gets the most
out of them-and he gets the most into
them.
Thoroughly washing the butter and
allowing the butter to rise on it before
draining of the water, so that the
specks will go to the bottom, is good
radiance.
1t doesn't take much time to go along
IN front of the managers and notice
whether each COW has eaten her feed
up clean; and also notice which COW,
have secured the bottom and corner,
of their hangers.
