DAIRY SUGGESTIONS.

The cellar in which butter and milk
is kept must be dry and well VEN
tilated.
If the average herd of cows should
be tested, one, two, three or more
would be found Improbable.
II you are making the dairy promi-
nent on the farm, you should have ice,
a milk house and n separator.
Simply because COW is scrub,
we say once more, is no reason to dis
card her. She may be fine COW.
But she cannot be depended upon to
reproduce herself.
II you have n clay, solid soil, dig q
hole and put the green corn into it
whole. 1t Is slovenly way to make
ensilage, but better than nothing. The
ensilage must be covered.
Nothing is more important than to
accustom the heifer to being handled.
Handle her all over. Accustom her
to the touch of the hand. 1t will great
ly help breaking her to milking.
Keep good COWS or none. The poor
COW eats feed withou. giving the re-
turns that good COW would. You

DEMOCRACY OF TO-DAY.
There II Much Uncertainty Just Now
ns to How the Party In Con-
stituted.


Colonel the Honorable William Jen-
nings Bryan declines to be the fusion
candidate for governor of Nebraska.
This determination is wise one, for a
defeated candidate for governor would
not be regarded as favorable candi-
date for the presidency, even II he does
incarnate the leading principles Of the
democratic party.
Col. Bryan represents more emphat.
ically than any other man the princi
pies of the democratic party, and
though 1t is said by some time-serving
democratic politicians in this state
that the Chicago platform is thing
of the past, ii is nevertheless true tina.
every democratic state convention
held thus far-with the exception of
that of Pennsylvania-has Endorsed
that platform.
New York, which cast 551,360 votes
for the Chicago platform in 1896, is ex-
pected to repudiate that platform in
1898, not because the great body of the
democratic voters are in favor of such
action, but because II has been so de-
termined by group of politicians,
some of whom refused to work for the
nominee of their party two years ago.
The democrats of New York will be
the only ones in their party placed in
that position, and ii will remove the
last vestige of authority in democratic
councils that the party in this state
possesses.
On one side will be registered the de-
cision of every democratic state con-
vention, including even Massachusetts,,
In favor of the Chicago platform. On
the other, New York will stand soli-
tary, thanks to men who have dis
graced that party in various ways,
These men do not represent the de-
mocracy as ii is constituted to-day as
does William j. Bryan.
Thus far in the campaign the de-
mocracy has spoken in the states of
Arkansas, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana,
Iowa, Kansas, Maine, Michigan and
Wisconsin, and every one has Endorsed
the Chicago platform, upon which Mr..
Bryan stands. Now, whether he de-
chnes the fusion nomination for gov
ernor of Nebraska because he fears
defeat, or whether he proposes to
make a straight fight for the principles
embodied in that platform, is not
known, nor is it a matter of particular
concern.
But it is known that rs democracy is
constituted to-day, judging it from the
declarations made in the platforms
adopted by the state conventions
which have been held, William j. Bryan
| is better democrat than the schem-
ing, selfish, calculating leaders in the
state of New York who are resolved
simply to advance their own persona!
interests, TO repudiate that platform
at the coming state conventions and
stultify their own party and its works,

A COMFORTABLE COW STABLE.

This makes the bottom of the rack and
should be placed 80 inches from tho
floor. Place the top scantling about
two feet from the partition. This
makes the rack eight inches in width
at bottom and two feet at top. In
center of bottom scantling fasten Il
ring screw to tie the halter to. Fasten
the COW with common web halter,
she wearing the headpiece all the
time. The halter end of the rope has
safety snap to fasten into the ring
of the halter and under the throat.
The grain and ensilage box is placed
on that side of the stall opposite to the
one the COW usually lies on. The box
is for grain and enslage and is reached
by an opening in the partition. Place
the box slanting and the feed will cas-
lily work down TO the lower end next
the cow. In placing the bar across
the stall bring the cows head square
ly up against the feeding rack; then
just forward of her hind feet nail down
two by three scantling. Fill the
space forward of the bar with bedding
which, being without waste, will last
till nearly worn out.-Ex-Gov. w. ID

VALUE OF WIDE TIRES.
Some Convincing Testimony Which
Comes to Us All the Way
from Australia.


Testimony on the value of wide tires
comes from all sections of the globe.
a correspondent of " paper in Sydney,
Australia, describes road in which
heavily-laden wagons with narrow
tires sank "half-spoke deep, and in
places to their wheel hubs" and yet
load of five tons, carried on six-inch
tires, sank but two to four inches in
the worst places. In dry weather he
says the roads are cut up by narrow
tires until the dust is n foot deep, and
then the rain will not make the dust
set hard again.
a good material for roads Is gravel,
"but no gravel roads will carry loads
of ten or twelve tons on three-inch and
four-inch tires. An experienced team
ster will not speak of the tonnage his
team can draw. He will say: Il think
the road will carry five tons or more.
as the case might be. have heard
road superintendent say that enor-
nous sums of money could be saved an
nually IL broad tires were used. The
only objection / have heard raised
against wide tires is that they do not
fit into the ruts cut by the narrow
ones, which makes the draught heavier
upon the team. That is partly true;
but the ruts would not be cut IL all
the wagons had wide tires. Portable
engines varying from six to eight
horsepower, and weighing five tons
and over, are drawn by lighter teams
than wagons which, with their loads,
would not weigh more. This is owing
to the broad tires always used on en-
gines. The ash pans on engines are sell
dom more than about ten inches from
the ground; but owing to the wide
tires these engines seldom bog deep
enough to allow the pans to touch the
| ground"

THE CHEESE BUSINESS.
A Good Thing for some, hut Not for
the Man Who Supplies the
Factory with MIX.

There are two points about.--the
cheese business that are worthy OF
note. Dairying always follows after
long series of years OF grain crop
ping, which sooner or later impover-
ishes the soil and brings to want the
man who INDUCES in the luxury OF
riding gang plow and seeder In the
spring and q binder at harvest, says
Farm, Stock and Home, and has no
time to milk cows. He then turns
to the dairy to recoup his resources.
II he takes his milk to the cheese fac
tory 1t is question whether he will
realize in dollars and cents as much
as he would IL he took his milk to
creamery. But one thing Is certain,
for every ton of cheese he furnishes
the milk for he removes $50 of fertility
from his soil. If he takes his milk to
creamery he will have the skim
milk to feed to calves and pigs, and
thus remove only so cents worth of fer
tility for every ton of butter. Then
when his cheese is ready for market,
which Is in from three to six weeks,
he is dependent upon some cheese buy
err to relieve him of the accumulated
product at such prices as the buyer
is willing TO pay, for the bulk must
go into storage for rlpening and await
favorable market, which may not
materialibe, and the buyer must take
into account these emergencies when
he names n price at which he Is will

into consumption 40 cnce. 1t will be
well, therefore, for the northwestern
farmer to stand by the cooperative
creamery. which has always brought
good and quick return, left him inde-
pendent Of the buyer, and added fertil-
ity to his soil. Il,

COMFORTABLY STALLS.
a system by which Each Cow II Pro-
tected from Possible Injury
When Lying Down.

There is excellence in the plan of
tying cows over the stanohion plan. as
shown herewith. The cow has 3H feet
in width of stall, and perfect liberty
and comfort of position. Because of
the bar across the stall floor, shown
Just forward of the hind feet OF the
standing COW, the animal has always
dry, clean bed TO lie in, thus keeping
her as clean from manure In winter
as though she was in June pasture.
BY this system each COW is protected
while lying down from having her
teats and udder stepped on by her
standing neighbor. This is one of the
most productive sources of injury that
is known, and of itself should condemn
the rigid stanchion.
A closely boarded partition about
four feet high forms the front of the
stall. Each COW has space 3H feet in
width. The floor is made tight, and
there is no drop in rear Of the cows, ex-
cept the thickness of one plank, which
is the double floor of the stall. The
style of feeding rack secures two pur-
poses. 1t contains hay or roughage,
and Stats are placed wide enough so
the COW can get her head between
them. Their slant forces the COW when
erect to stand with her hind feet in
rear of the cross-bar across the stall
floor. In making the feed rack, nail
piece of two by eight-inch scantling
edgewise against the board partition.

THE STANDARD MAINTAINED.
Republicans Adhere Faithfully to
the Principles of sound Money
md National Integrity.

When the Indiana republicans held
their state convention two years ago
they adopted platform in which they
declared themselves for honest
money" They announced that they
were opposed to free coinage at the
ratio of sixteen to one because it would
debase the currency, and favored the
use Of silver only to the extent that
Its parity with gold could &c main
tanned. This year those republicans
take forward step and assume po-
sition they were not ready to take in
1896. The state convention adopted
money plank denouncing sixteen to
one" because it would "debase our
money and destroy our private and
public credit and cause general bust
ness disaster" The concluding SEN
tence of the plank is rs follows:
1--WE recognize the necessity OF compre-
hensive and enlightened monetary legis-
ldtion, and believe that the declaration in
the st. Louis national republican platform
for the maintenance of the gold standard
and the parity of all our forms of money
should be given the vitality of public law,
and the money Of the American people
should be made. like all its institutions, tho
best in the world"
This is recognition of the fact that
the existing laws, which make United
States bonds payable in "coin" and
the legal tender notes redeemable in
"coin," must be amended by requiring
those payments and redemptions to be
made in gold coin" When that has
been done there will be no question
and no difficulty about the mainte-
nance of the gold standard. The whole
world will understand that the United
States Is committed definitely and ir-
revocably to the worlds money stand
ard.
AS long as that naked word coin"
remains in the laws, and the United
States has half billion of legal tender
silver money the bullion in which "a
worth only about "A cents on the dol
lar, Bryanite president could slump
the currency and breed panic. 1t
would not be necessary for him to
have Bryanite congress behind him
TO enact a free coinage law. All he
would have to do to destroy public and
private credit would be to order his
secretary of the treasury to redeem
tho greenbaclss in legal tender silver
instead of gold. But Bryanite presi-
dent could give no such order IL the
law ordered redemption in gold COIN"
1t will be the duty Of congress after the
free silverites have lost their majority
IL the senate to insert the word gold"
before "coin." Then il will be neces-
sary for the Organizes to elect presi-
dent and have majority in the house
and senate before they can tamper
with the gold standard.-ChicagC Trib-

One of the most refreshing drinks
for hot weather Is cool buttermilk,
drawn just after the cream has been
churned. 1t Is n nutritious drink, and
the slight acidity which 1t has, II made
from ripened, that is, sour cream,
makes 1t easier TO digest than fresh
new milk. In some cities buttermilk
is kept for sale at restaurants, and
there are enough city men who were
brought up in the country to create
a good demand for buttermilk, even
though II be not fresh from the churn.
In a cool place buttermilk may b

Literature of HorticuIture.

1t will be necessary to use very nice
judgment in applying the principles
which govern tree growth and fruit
production; but In these days of abun-
dant horticultural literature and ex-
cellent books Oil orchard economy, no
one ought to be at loss to know what
to do for the best under his own con-
ditions. No two cases are exactly
alike. Advice for your neighbor would
be wholly inapplicable under your
conditions. Every man must work out
his own salvation in temporal as well
as in spiritual things, and the plum
