Democratic National Convention in

the free and unlimited coinage Of both

earth.
W. glory in the achievements Of the
Army and Navy, in the late war with
Spain, and we commend the Democratic
Congressman in their course upon the
prose sution of the war, as patriotic,
statesmanlike and compatible with the
honor and dignity OF M nation.
We agree with Senator Teller, an
ardent PrOtectionist, hat the Dingley
Law was formulated and passed, not for
the protection of American labor, nor
for the purpose of revenue for the gov
eminent, but exclusively in the interest
of the mOnopolies and trusts, which
furnished the corruption money TO car

Furthermore declare without fear Of
successful contradiction. that any or all
oil the provisions OF the infamousllw do

MULES FROM THE MINES.
Antics of Those that Are Brought Up
to Daylight.

The superintendent Of the Sweet
| Springs mine undertook a thorough
| renovation of the mine the day after
the miners went out ON the strike, and
the first step preparatory to a general
cleaning UP was to remove the mules
from the underground stables and put
them out on pasture.
Some of them had not been out OF
the mine for months, number had
been below the surface for two or three
years, and one had not seen the sun
shine for seven years-as long as Jacob
served for Leah.
They We're led from the mine, twen-
ty-seven patient creatures, and turned
loose in MorrisOn's pasture field. They
stood about close together, knee-deep
in the lush, green grass and sweet red
clover, with dropping heads and eyes
half closed, as though dazed by their
sudden change Of circumstances. At

Bowman's hill one gray old veteran

Such running, racing, kicking and
jumping were never before seen. Stiff
knees, dim eyes and spawned joints
were all forgotten in the pure enjoy
ment of out of doors. They brayed and
beloved, ran and kicked, stopped for
breath, then began again.
The whole village gathered at the
fence to see the fun. The men and
boys laughed and shouted, the babies
crowed and one or two women cried a
little, for there were sores and lame
ness and weakness in plenty.
When night fell they were still roll
ing about and racing, forgetful of the
hunger and thirst that might be salts
fed by the running stream and the
grass.

edge of the pasture field, was wakened

IrriCatiOu.

Irriga ton in some form Will come
sooner or later, and the farmer will
then be independent of drouths. In
fact, irrigation can be practiced on a
majority of farms if the owners will
60 to the expense of arranging for a
water supply. The windmill, hydraul-
ic ram and engine can be used to force
water into a tank or reservoir, from
which it can be obtained for crops by
gravity. What farmers should conSid-
er is not the expense but the prospect
i've gain. 1t has happened year after
year that at critical stages during the
growth of crops drouth appears and
destroys the farmers hopes, the loss
during single season being greater
than the expense of an irrigating plant.
1t is also possible that with an unlim-
tied supply of water the yields may be
more than doubled and the profits
greatly increased. In this region the
rains will assist the farmer the greater
portion of the growing period, the sup
ply of water to be stored being only
sufficient to tide the crops over dry
spell. With the ability to apply water
to crops at will, and the liberal use of
fertilizers, the crops grown on land that
has been used for experimental pur-
poses have been enormous, as much as
three times the average yield having
been secured.

Location for Bees.

Many people fail of success with bees
because they do not place the hives
right. If too shaded the bees are like
ly to be attacked by the moth miller,
which breeds those worms that destroy
the honey. 1t is we'll to have the bees
up early, so the hives should front te
the east, so as to catch the first rays of
the morning sun. Either well-roofed,
low building should be put up as bee
stand, OF the hives should be set on a
bench under tree all through the
summer. In winter it is not best that
bees should see sunlight. If an under.
ground cellar out of doors can be fitted
up,where the temperature may be kept
below freezing all the time, it will be
much better than the warmer house

Carlo, a big retriever, opened the ball
by killing one of the Ostiak dogs. ALE
staggered about among the pack, and
exhibited all the supposed characteris-
tics OF the Britisher abroad. To check
his hOnic1dal, or rather canlcidaI, pru-
clivities, l tied the dead dog round his
neck. This, however, he evidently
viewed as an excellent arrangement,
especially devised for the arctic, where
the food supply is defective, and at
once proceeded to make a cold lunch
of his late adversary, looking up at
me with grateful eyes, evidently think
ing that it was very considerate of
jackson thus to provide him with a
larder right at hand. After this the
dead dog was removed, and Carlo was
always decorated with q muzzIe.
afterward made a good sledge dog of
him, but he could not stand the severe
climate, and although the doctor made
a blanket coat for him, the poor old
chap died sledging during the first fort
night in spite of it.
The rest of the pack We're hardly less
bellicose, but conducted their battles on
lines hardly in accordance with civil
lied warfare. With the exception Of
two or three dogs, always had the en-
tire pack chained up, having taken out
large supply of English chains: but
l found these quite inadequate to
strain these comparatively small dogs.
One dog would break loose, and then
commence fight with another. The
whole pack would become wildly ex-
cited, and all would then fall upon the
losing combatant. The result would be
another dead dog.-F. G.. Jackson, in

Seeding Peach Trees,

In every peach orchard free from the
yellows, there will be more or less seed
ling peach trees springing up every
year from pits dropped after the peach
was eaten the previous fall. 1t requires
freezing to open these pits, and the
germ usually comes forth with the first
warm weather of spring. These seed
lings will usually be of poor quality, as
they are only natural fruit. But if they
are set out in rich soil as soon as the
shoots start, they will grow rapidly and
be plenty large enough to be budded in
July next. 1t is a comparatively easy
thing to learn to bud. In this way
stock of peach trees can easily be Sc
cured if one plants peach stones from
healthy fruit in the fall, and takes care
to use only buds from healthy stock for
budding purposes.
