The Horse Bot Fly.

r. F. M; You cannot do much, if any
thing towards preventing the bot fly
laying eggs on your horses body during
the season that the fly is about, but you
can do something to prevent the eggs
from Matching. In grooming the animal
every morning, use a cloth that is greasy
with lard-kerosene, rubbing the horses
legs and sides and shoulders well with it.
This will kill every egg that tine creased
cloth comes in contact with. The eggs
stick to the hairs very closely, but with
a little pains they can be rubbed off
entirely with vigorous use of the curry
comb. But every egg. that gets the grease
on it will be destroyed, so it matters little
if the eggs are not rubbed off. Some
horses are rendered almost frantic by
the buzzing of the bot fly in the act Of
depositing its eggs, but it is not practica-
bic to apply anything that will keep the
fly entirely off. Simply kill the eggs after
they are laid.

acting this effect. Although for a day or

The strike. of coal miners of
Rutland, Ill.,, is at an end, and
Operator Hakes is taking the
men back on his own terms. He
forces them to sign an ironclad
contract, which practically
makes slaves of the underground
toilers. The miner must agree
to leave the miners union, to
take no part in any strike, such
action on his part forfeiting all
pay that may be due him from
the mine owner, and he must on
occasions follow the dictation
of his boss and accept whatever
wages may be paid him. The
workmen are disheartened,
crushed, and many of them are
signing the contract to keep
their families from starving.
But what bettercan be expected,
Illinois endorsed Mckinley and
government by injunction by a
large majority. Ignorance is
bound to suffer.

there is very little killing being done.
Everybody is shooting and cutting
shooting off their mouths and cutting
around corners. Very little powder is
being burned, but if gas were less dead
ly, there would be nobody left to tell
the tale. The scenes of the battles are
laid in cabinet chambers and the prin-
ciral participants are high-salaried dip
lomats. That anybody will be hurt
does not seem probable. 1t is the no.
bodies who are being killed, the half
civilized Philippines an Cubans. the
mongrel South Americans and the iso-
lated Armenians. These, for the most
part, are simply being murdered. in
their ignorance and because of the pu-
silanimity Of the more enlightened. The
classes whose lives count don't shoot as
they vote, but they arbitrate. The more

Mckinley is offering no explanation,
and neither will his party. certainly not
till after the 4th of next March. Better
ask the responsible party now in power
or its acknowledged head ana leader,
Mr.. Grover Cleveland. Broken banks
and closed mills there are. but not OF
Republican doing. Does Mr.. Bryan or
any of his hackers pretend to claim
that the collapse of rotten corporations
and mismanaged and looted banks
would have been averted merely by his
election. months before he would have
reached Washington? Does Mr. Bryan
desire the people of this country to esti-
mate him as a namby-pamby dema-
gogue? Or as a man of comprehensive
observation and sound judgent? His
attitude and words touching the late
disasters are anything but creditable to
a man who has ben asking to be made
the head of the nation.

SHUT THEM OFF.

The postmaster general, in his recent
report. indicated most clearly where
the enormous deficit of the postal SER
vice came in. 1t is all owing to an ad.
vantage being taken Of the section OF
the postal laws defining second class
matter and its rate. This section was
supposed to apply to newspapers and
magazines, but under it thousands of
advertising and printing schemes have
sprung up with which the mails have
been loaded down to the tune Of thou
sands of tons annually. The Loud bill,
now before congress, and which bill
has been endorsed by the newspapers
and legitimate publishers Of the coun-
try as equitable and right, is sought to
be defeated. The Loud bill shuts out
all purported periodicals but which are
merely books and reprints of books and
r.uch Of the unbound trash Of the coun-
try. This bill is threatened with defeat
now, principally through the efforts Of
the paper manufacturers who have sup
piled these cheap concerns, who in turn
have fiourished at the direct expense of
the people through the postal laws. The
Loud bill is right and proper and
should be passed. 1t cuts off newspa-
per publishers from sending sample
copies free, but it will result, by stamp
ing abuses, in rendering the postofice
self-sustaining. 1t is claim
ed that it will curtail the manufacture
of paper to the amount Of 100000 tons
but it will save the govern
ment many millions of dollars paid to
railroads and others for carrying that
paper, after it is printed, about the
country for a nominal sum per pound.

publication will be injured or discom-
