Repablicon Aayorai Candidates Hustle
Despite tbs Cold.
The cold weather did NOT deter the
republican mayoral candidates from
hustling last night. The Carse
crowd began early in the evening,
stormed the Fourth ward first, and
moved uptown. Kennedy and his
cohorts came down into the Fourth,
too, and played hide and seek with
ssthe corner" clans. Nobody could
find Knox with . field glass, but it
is whispered about this morning that
he got there just the same. Great Joe
Haas was OUT on the turnpike throw
high ones, while little Aid. Nelson
was shivering around the Rock ISL
and yards attempting to whisper in
the ears Of the travellers as they went
through. Tomorrow the final strug-
| gle occurs and consequently the last
grand rally will be held tonight.
Fred j. Kinney avoke this morn
ing to find himself famous. He is
proclaimed q candidate for the re-
pu blican nomination for treasurer,
by the Union. Kinney, it is
insisted, is in no sense q fac
ZIONIST, and he is reminded that
while he has the good will OF repub-
licans generally. he is to maintain il
by deserving it. We do not see Mr..
Kinney's card in the announcement
for-revenue column of the Union;
hence it is surmiscd that he must
have adopted his own method oil
meriting the complimentary refer.
ence without producing ths where

that Kinney has become famous,
although thu fact that he is non.
factionist is likewise an evidence o.
unusual distinction.
The Union sets forth the require
ments of the primary election Law
which is to govern the caucuses with
all the emphasis at its command, thi.

which exists among the candidate,
for mayor, aud which the Union ha:
not sought to heal. it fears that tn
party lines may be transgressed
evidently. How that may be is no
known, but if any democrat is caugh

THE ARGUS trod a little more
heavily than it imagined at the time
on the weakling Published at Port
Byron. for the result was a piteous
yelp that was heard all the way to
Spripg field. The Argus did not in.
tend to ipflict q distressing wound
on its inoffensive contemporary, nor
is it now inclined to aggravate the
injury already done. Life is too
short, and, in this instance, the
opportunities too far between to ad-
NIT of serious attention on the part
1T uaper that must dispose of each
days events as they happen. Hence
the idle policy of submitting to pro-
tracted discussion. The purpose OF
The ARGUS in referring to the Globes
attitude in the Woodmen removal
incident q week sgo. was merely
by comparison to present an evil
dence o; newspaper instinct and
character, and to voice the sentiment
that even the least OF the creatures
Of earth should recognize 4 sense oil
gratitude rather than to seek an
opportunity to turn from it. This
lesson seems to have been fully i'm.
pressed. Therefore The ARGUS Is
sntisfied.

A Delicious Apricot Pudding.

Soak half pound of "evaporated"
California apricots. Cook them slowly
for three or four hours until the liquid
around them is nearly absorbed. Make
batter of two tablespoonfuls of but
ter, melted with cup of hot milk. Stir
in heaping cupful of -four when tho
milk boils, and continue stirring two
minutes, or until the batter "cleaves
from" the side Of the pan. Add to this
batter three yolks Of eggs, beating them
each in carefully. Finally stir in large
tablespoonful of sugar, half a cupfsl OF
cold milk and when this is mixed in
add the whites of three eggs beaten to
very stiff froth. Fold in the whites
Of the eggs carefully, SO as not to break
them down. Put first layer Of this
batter in a rather high buttered and
sugared tin mold and then q layer of
stewed apricots. Continue, making the
last layer one of batter. Steam the
pudding two hours and serve it with
q nice liquid sauce. Soft custard also
makes good sauce. The pudding will
cook quicker if steamed in small tin
cups holding about two gills each.-N.

the wind and sun have chance to
evaporate the surplus moisture. A
great deal of inconvenience and loss
to the farmers have already occurred
as result of the long wet period, and
much more of sacrifice must be made
in the expenditure of capital and
labor to restore the damage done to
the highways, by the hard usage they
received during the open winter just
past. Prairie roads are very satisfac-
tory during dry years, but when the
wet ones come they become impassa-
BILE in proportion to the length of
time and season of the year in which
the rains appear, and to the use made
of such highways during such periods.
Permanent roads may seem expen-
sive, under the most favorable cir
cumstances, but when the cost of
carriage and the expense of keeping in
repair are taken into account, the
permanent roads would probably be
the less expensive, If economically
made. This, of course, depends large
ly upon the accessibility of the ma
terial necessary to the construction Of
such highways. Stone, gravel or sand
form the foundation for them. Sand
and a certain kind of clay, in proper
proportions form a road suited to all
kinds of weather. The sand packs I'M
der moisture and the clay under
drought. Each supports the weakness
of the other, when combined. The
present condition of the roads will,
doubtless, revive the question which
had begun to react from the impetus
which the wheelmen had given it.
three or four years ago, owing to the
favorable weather which had kept the
highways in repair for so long.-Farm-
ers' Union.

Chair for Piazza Work,

One of the essentials for piazza work
Is q comfortable chair with just the
right slope to the back, which must be
high enough to afford rest for the
head when one feels inclined to medi-
tate or repose. The ordinary piazza
chairs, with split seat and back of white
wood shellacked or vanished, are just
the thing for foundation, being mex
pensive and firmly made. Select one
without rockers, but with broad arms.
Get carpenter to make shelf about
~ inches wide, and have this secured
firmly to the right arm. This will serve
as small table, either asa resting place
for books or for sewing materials. Be-
low this, against the rounds of the
chair, attach with strong cord or wire
a wicker basket of good size, with ample
accommodation for the weekly mend
Ing, fancy work, crochet and knitting
work, or papers, magazines,writing tab.

FAILURE TO FRUIT.
1t Is an Indication That a Tree Is
Not in Good Health.


The fruiting of an orchard is the end
of it's culture, and everything should
tend to this end. A failure to fruit at
proper age and in the right season is a
sure indication that something Is
wrong and that something ought to be
done. There are number of causes for
full-grown tree not fruiting, and it
will be good plan to investigate, ascer-
tain the cause, if possible, and apply the
remedy.
In some cases trees may have too
much head and will exhaust them
selves, nourishing their foliage at the
expense of the first buds, but this is
the exception. Generally tree lacks
plant food rather than an over-supply,
and the application of well-rotted
manure will remedy this. Sometimes
there is a lack of lime or potash in the
soil. Bone dust or wood ashes make a
good fertilizer when mineral elements
are lacking, as there may be an excess
of moisture in the soil and drainage
may be the necessary remedy. Prun-
ing and thinning out may be necessary
:
top. The soil may have become packed
and hard, SO that the tree cannot make
as thrifty a growth as it should, and
cultivating or digging about the roots
may be necessary. With proper care
the tree can be made to bear good fruit,
quality being of more Importance than
quantity, and if, after proper rene
dies have been tried, the trees fail to
yield good fruit, the quicker it is cut
down and another one is planted in it's
place the better. Allowing tree to
overbear one year will be the cause of
its not bearing the next. The tree so
exhausts itself in maturing the ex-
cessive yield that rest is required in
which to recuperate. Thinning in good
season is the remedy for this, while a
better grade of fruit is secured.-N.J.

THE ALL.PuRPosE COW.
A NOndescrfpt, Useless md Utterly
Improbable Animal.

Improbable Animal.
The dairy business is far more over
done by the average" COW than from
any other one cause The trouble is
that she eats and exists upon a mans
farm to do just half what is required of
her, and eats as much good food in the
year as her betters. The amount of
milk this average COW gives is 3,l00
pounds yearly, and it should be as many
quarts of better milk--as the record for
1000 creameries shows, is not over 31s
per cent. fat, when it should be 41s per
cent. If one looks at this average cow
critically the signs are too often re-
versed from what they should be, /. e.,
her head is too large to correspond with
her udder, and her shoulders wider than
her hips, and her tendency to put tallow
upon her caul and not in her milk, and
has ample storage capacity for every
thing except milk. She is parasite
that eateth by MONDAY, and wasteth a
mans substance by night, and in the
way of ''feecing the innocents," she
beats all the trusts and rings combined
AS cow, she is one that uses health and
vigor to destroy food and render as lit
tie return therefor as possible. She is
a product of all the good blood and
bad breeding extant. The blood in her
veins is an amalgamation of all the
breeds under the sun, and reinforced by
the "calico-colored" cattle of the hills,
possessing few traits or her respectable
relations, and embodying all the unde-
sirable qualities of her scrub" kin.
She is the result of chance breeding and
the science of moon signs combined.
She has place in our later farm indus
try-where farmers and dairymen are
thrown into competition with the
world, and the best only wins-along-
side of the broncho pony and the Texas
steer. She is getting her revenge back
upon the men and their posterity for
the way she was bred and cared for. by
boarding with them and charging up a
large part of the bill to the credit of
"her company" This average cow has
had sort of feast and famine sort of a
life; has been baked in the summer sun
and soaked by the autumn rains, frozen
and thawed alternately in winter, and
fed what was handiest and when most
convenient, and MIXED after every
thing else was done. The truth is, this
average cow will have to go, and go

liver her owner over to the demnition
bow-wows. The man with an average
dairy is in the slough of despond, and
in all similitude should be using q
wooden pillow. - John Gould, in San
Francisco Chronicle.
