OLD PROBLEMS REVIVED.

1t is by no means impossible
that the old question of State
rights will ,ome to the front in a
slightly Hanged dress, when the
discussi .ou of the disposition OF
new american colonies comes be-
fore, Congress. The struggle In
tie early days was to strengthen
the Federal power. The right OF
state to withdraw from the
Union has been settled. The pro
blem now likely to arise is
whether the new possessions shall
be awarded the same freedom OF
action allowed previous new terri
tories. or held aloof, to a certain
extent, from the family OF States
and made more directly subject to
Federal rule.
We believe it highly probable that
an effort will be made to develop a
new colonial policy which will
place the new islands possessions
under restrictions from which
former territories have not suffer
ed. This movement will undoubt
eddy be backed by the agricultural
class and the high minded conser.
natives who have opposed terri
torial expansion on account of the
addition to the body polite of a
mixed population" The former
fear competition and the latter
have developed the belief that the
object of government should be to
hold down the masses-they are
not in sympathy with the true
democracy of the American con-
stitution.
In opposition to these forces
will be the manufacturing inter
ests, and the large class of Amer
leans who do not believe that the
object of the national government
is to create a "holier than thou"
class even in new territory.
The manufacturers will demand
that no Legislation be passed that
will interfere with their freedom
of trade in the new fields opened
up, and also expect special protec-
ton against the inroads of foreign
competitors. The interests of the
manufacturers will be best serve d,
by the Federal government keep
ing its hands off and allowing the
people of the new territories to
have free swing.
The policy of the rejuvenated
Federalists is likely to be in favor
of giving Hawaii form of govern
ment somewhat similar to the Dis
trict of Columbia. Their more lib
eral minded opponents will advo
cate the straight territorial scheme
which has proved successful among
the States,

A Source Of Income Neglected By
Many Poultry Keepers.
Poultry feathers should be kept for
stuffing pillows, sofa cushions and
other home conveniences, even where it
Is not deemed worth while to sell them.
Geese and duck feathers, being much
more valuable than others, should al
ways be preserved with care. Downy
feathers of hens and turkeys serve .
very good purpose, and unless you
wish 20 make busters of tail aud wing
feathers, the soft, fcathery portions of
these may be stripped of the quill and
added to the rest. Unless the flock is
large, it will take some time to secure
enough feathers to stuff even cushion,
and rs they are gathered from time to
time, they must be put into whole cot
ton bags, tied securely so that no moth
millers can enter, and placed for short
time in q warm oven, to dry thoroughly.
If hens are scalded before picking, the
feathers can be dried in tin pan, in q
moderately warm stove oven. Remove
all bits of skin, a. they produce an I'M
pleasant odor hard to get rid of. Feath-
ers well cleaned answer very well for
holsters, chair and soft cushions.-

THE FARMING WORLD.
MANAGING ON SHARES.


The Equitable system Adopted ~ .
Wisconsin Farmer.
OF late much has been printed on the
above subject, but none seems to hit
the mark or the plan that will always
warrant success. Here in this very fer
tile district the farm manager gets one
half the proceeds of the farm for his
salary. He owns one-half of all the
live stock kept or raised on the farm.
He has house and outbuildings. free
of rent: he furnishes teams and all the
tools, does all the work, and is required
in a written contract to do all the
work In season, and in good work
manlike manner; he is allowed to keep
q team on the undivided grass and hay,
but must feed his own grain.
He can sell his crops at any time he
sees fit, and must sell the proprietor's
half at the pleasure of the owner of the
farm, and gets one cent per bushel for
hauling the grain not to exceed four
miles; all other proceeds he must take
to market free of charges.
He must work the highway; he must
repair all fences and make light repairs
on the outbuildings, the owner furnish
Ing all material. The proprietor must
pay oil cash taxes and one-half of the
thrashing bill. and has one-hnlf of all
the proceeds of the farm of every ma
ture, except the proceeds of one-fourth
acre, which is assigned to the tenant
for garden. The owner must be adj
'ised as to the crops to be raised and
the different fields in which they must
be grown. The manner must be drawn
out every fall and put where it is most
needed.
The man on my farm commenced the
first of November last on his fourth
year, and as yet there has not been dis.
satisfaction between us. The tenant
gets his pay as he goes along, and il
satisfied in all things; one-half of the
products of the farm is his salary
Most of the farms in this vicinity are
managed on the above terms, which
are considered advantageous for the
tenant, especially in a dry and unpro
ductive season. for he has no rent
money to rnrse.-E. Reynolds, in Coun
try Gentleman.

before taking up their home there visited
the country as delegates. They reported
to the Government of the Dominion of
Canada the result of their observations,
and from this report extracts have been
taken, which are published below:
I'VE have visited number of most desir-
able locations, and are highly pleased with
the country as whole, it being beyond our
highest expectations. We find here pros
porous and well-contented lot of people.
They have comfortable homes, and their
vast fields of wheat and other crops in addi-
tion to their herds of choice cattle, indicate
prosperity in the full sense of the word. In
conversation with the farmers throughout
our trip we learned that the majority of
them came here with very limited means,
and some with no more than enough to
bring them here, and they are now well-to-
do. They all claim that this is the only coun-
try for poor man, or one with little means,
to get start and make home for himself
and family. As you are aware, we were a
little shaky and undecided before leaving
Detroit. but have determined since that we,
with our friends, will make this country our
future home. 1t is far from being the wilder
ness we had pictured it to be; it is, instead,
q land having all the facilities required by
modern civilization, such as railroads, mar
kets, stores, churches, schools, etc., in fact,
an ideal home for those having the future
welfare OF themselves and families at heal
The Messrs. Striovski selected the Ala.
media district, but what they say of it appeals
in general way to most other districts in
that vast country. They speak of the fuel,
which is to be had in great quantities, of the
water that can be had by digging from 10 to
20 feet, and of the good grazing land to be
had almost everywhere. There is plenty Of
wood for building timber anu for fuel, while
coal is convenient, and sells at low prices at
the mines. In driving through the country
they passed many fine patches of wild rasp.
berries, and say they can speak highly OF
their flavor, as they could not resist the
temptation to stop and eat.

able space, shall defer further reference to
Western Canada for another issue. An
illustrated pamphlet recently issued by the
Department of the Interior, Ottawa, Can
ada, giving a. complete description OF the
country, will be forwarded free to all who

in this paper of a case somewhat similar to
his which was cured by DIR. Williams Pink

him, and he has now for over year been

Medicinal Variety.
There are only few of them left.
Since Chas. A. Dana's death, Joseph Ne
dill, the war-horse of the Chicago Tribune,
is the chief surviving representative OF the
old school OF virils, aggressive editorial
giants.
To have mud thrown at theKl was part Of
the profession at ak times, but to find health
in mud is rather modern innovation. That
il what Joseph Medill has been doing ct
late.
Mr.. Medi;l is an investigator and when
the stories of the miraculous Magno- Mud at
Indiana Mineral Springs began to spread
over the country, the great editor became
interested and eventually decided to try this
mysterious substance on his own rheumatic
limbs and weigh its value. He was accom-
panied by his private physician, IA young
Armenian scientist of high attainments.
The great editor was mud mummi6ed daily
for several weeks and gained visibly in
weight, strength and vitality.
The fiual result OF the experiment was an
unqualified success. Mr.. Medill went
back to Chicago in September, and wrote an
editorial about Magno-Mud with his own
hand. Next, he sent his son-in-law for a
little of the mud-treatment. In November
he went down again, and since the new
bath house is completed he expects to be a
regular visitor four times year.
This mud-treatment in which Mr.. Medill
found so much virtue, is peculiar, yet logical.
After all, every form of life springs from the
earth, which is the great destroyer and assim-
ilator of dead and effete matter. At the
Indiana Mineral Springs is a beautiful little
natural amphitheatre, the slopes being
grown with magnificent oaks. At the foot Of
the converging hills, big Lithia spring
gushes forth at the rate of !, 900 barrels day
and floods the soil, which consists of rich,
black porous loan, fed by the deciduous
foliage of the oak trees. This peculiar soil
saturated with mineral salts for ages, is as
soluble as sugar, and being devoid Of clay is
not sticky in the least. 1t is not, therefore,
in any sense related to the conventional mud
of the roadway, of the Chicago street or to
the variety which clings to your heels.
The mud ia applied to the patient on cot,
the subject being entirely encased in the
substance, steamed to a proper temperature
1t then acts as a poultice, stimulates the
skin, superficial blood vessels and nerves,
opens the pores and Initiates the blood, dis
solving all uric, acid deposits. Nothing can
be simpler or more rational.
