Almost any kind of Plow will do good
work in some ground, under favorable con-
ditons, but the pillow we all need, and want,
is the one that will do the best work in the
greatest variety of soils, under the great
est variety of conditions. Every compe-
tent Judge freely admits that the Disc Sui
ky is, without question, ahead of all COM
petition as class; and for proof of this we
would refer to every user of Disc PIow,
as we'll as to many an observant farmer,
who has not yet gotten that far along
Now then, since we are agreed, that the
"Disc Sulky," by Subsoling, by its eficien-
Icy in pea vines, by it's greater capacity to
store away, out Of reach of top cultivation,
Jail stalks and other trash, and by it's pull
verizing all kinds, and never choking in
any kind of land, merits our attention
above any other class We have only to
select the best Disc Plow in order to have
the very best Of ALL This Of course is
difficult problem, for it will not do to &C
cept your merchants version Of the matter,
lest they all be "BEST," and you be left
to use your own judgment unaided; but
suppose you farmers cooperate with each
other, using your merchant only as a me-

We will state, that we sold about fifty Of

u is suggested that on January l,
1900, a new division of the year into
Is months will be instituted. If such
a division were made the first twelve
months would have twenty eight days
or four weeks each, and the new
month Twenty-Five days, to make 365,
and 80 in leap years. After a few
days there would be no need to refer
to calendars, as the same day of the
week would have the same date. If
Jan. 1 was, say Monday, every Monday
would be the l, 8, Is and %, and SO on
all through the year, and many calcu-
lations like interest, dates of maturing
notes, Easter and many other import.
ant dates would be simpllfed. Al
though the present generation would
have to figure new dates for birthdays,
and all legal holidays, except New
Year, would be on different dates, yet
the gain would be more than the loss,
as that would be permanent and the
objections trihing.-Dezphos co., Her:

Political Gossip.

The republicans talk of nominating
Robt. G. Easley for county superin-
tendent, in the event Of Miss S%toner's
resignation, MI. Easley, we are told,
is a man well qualified for the position,
and should U. G. Stevenson decide TO
stay out of the race he will very prob
ably be nominated. There is an other
faction, however, which favofs Miss
Brown. thinking a woman would
make the better run.
1t seems to be a foregone conclusion
that P. W. Pruden, of Merriman, will
be the republican nominee for COM
missioner from the third district. Mr..
Pruden seems, from our limited &C.
quaintance with him, to be a good
man, but 'ethere are Others" who are
not republicans, and the populists and
democrats can be depended upon to
find the right man for the place.

that all drinking water be boiled at

used. Typhoid fever is becoming pre-

Boiling destroys all germs in water,

That there will be fusion this fall be-
tween the democratic and popuiist
parties there is little doubt. The state
conventions of both parties have set
the example, and it Is meet that coun-
ty and district conventions should fol-
low the dictates of the leaders. To
attain this end, however, it will be
necessary for each party to make
concessions to the other, and harmony
should prevail. The senatorial, rep
resentative and county conventions
of the two parties have been called for
the same places and times, so that an
equitable arrangement can be made.
It seems that no opposition has been
made to the populists naming the
fusion candidate for senator, and it is
probable that there will be none.
Likewise if is conceded that the dem
ocrats should name the representative
from this district. Candidates are
always numerous for this position and
it is not always easy to select the best
man for the place, but this difficulty
will be a small one this year, because
John Shore, of Kennedy, is a candi-
date for the nomination. To those
who know the gentleman this state
ment is enough. To those who do
not, we would say that Mr.. Shore is a
democrat, a gentleman, a stockman,
and a frst-class business man. Dur
ing the two years and a half We have
known him, personally, and by reputa-
ton, we have never heard a single
word derogstory to his honor, honesty,
ability or integrity. If nominated and
elected, John Shore would make a
representative of whom we could all
h proud.
