In deciding not to have county con-
vention this year, we believe that the
County Central Committee of the Silver
party acted for the best interests of the
people. Judging by the number of men
who hayealready announced themselves
as Silver party candidates for county
offices there will be an abundance of
good timber from which the people can
choose the men who will serve them for
the next two years. 1t is fair fight,
open to all and the voters are the
the judges. They alone are responsible
If the best men do not win and they are
also the ones who will suffer the eonse-
quences.

The Hot Shoe Evil

Fitting the shoe hot, so frequently
practiced, cannot be too strongly con-
demned, as the sensitive structures be-
meath the horny wall are seriously in
jured, the pores in the horny tissue
closed. and the secretion of the hoof
seriously interfered with until the hoof
finally becomes brittle and easily
broken. The majority of shoeing smiths
argue that it requires too much time to
obtain perfectly plane-bearing sur
face on the both the foot and shoe with
the tools intended for that purpose:
that the shoe. can be made to bear all
around alike much easier and quicker
by placing it on the foot hot until the
foot is charred wherever touched by
the hot shoe. No doubt thissis the most
rapid way of fitting shoes, but when
we take into consideration the harm
done by such practice we find that
nothing has been gained. but that
much of the value of the horse has been
lost: for of what value is horse with
out "A sound foot? 1t is also important
that shoes should be reset every four
or six weeks. With the above precau-
tions the horses foot may be kept rea-

Stung by Cactus PIants.

Several men employed about Horti-
cultural Hall, in Fairmount Park, are
nursing very sore hands, and one of
them is just sure that he is out of dan
ger from blood poisoning from stings
received in handling. prickly cactus
plants. All summer the tall, slender
cacti have stood with soldierly erect
ness in bed at the east end Of the hall.
When frost threatened the head gar
dener gave orders for their removal in
to winter quarters, and the men having
the job went about it without the usual
precaution Of wearing buckskin gloves
They were stung in many places by
the needles that bristled from the
stalks, but as the pain at the time was
not great, they kept at work until all
the cacti had been housed. A few hours
later their hands began to puff up, and
soon swelled to ungainly proportions,
as the poison of the stings took effect
They suffered intensely for several
days, and even now. after a week has
elapsed, have to use their hands in a
very gingerly manner indeed.-Phila-

THE ruLLNEss THEREOF.

Among the discomforts of life and the
fullness thereof, reaching to every family,
there is that which can SO easily mitigate or
entirely cure, the wonder is why we endure
and suffer so much. From big pains to
little aches, which are the wear and tear of
the physical structure of man, there are
always remedies good. better and best. The
choice should always be for the best as the
surest and the cheapest. In chronic or
acute suffering with rheumatism, neuralgia,
sciatica or lumbago, or with the minor all
ments of sprains and bruises, or of soreness
and stiffness, the efficacy of ST. Jacobs Oil
and the fullness thereof in SO many conf
plete and perfect cures make it stand out as
the best remedy for pain. Why then should
we stand on the order of going for it and
not go at once? In numberless cases the
aggravations of discomforts and pains are
from delay. Why should we suffer?

Potash Fertilizers as Protection

Protection Against Frost.

1t has been noticed that the liberal
application of potash fertilizers, espe-
cially the crude salts, lessons to GER
tain extent the injuries which the crop
may suffer from frost. This is an
item of considerable Importance, espe-
cially in. the case of tobacco, which is
often greatly injured by frost in early
autumn. The cause of the protection
which kainit, for instance, offers to
plants against frosts is found IN two
sources. In the first place, on account
of the Microscopic nature of the salt,
the moisture of the soil is more securely
held, and there is less rapid evapora-
ton. One of the prime conditions OF
the formation of frost is rapid evap-
grafton and consequent cooling of the
surface of the soil. Anything which
prevents this, of course, tends to dimin-
ish the intensity of the frost. In the
second case, the presence of potash
fertilizer produces more luxuriant
vegetation, and thus secures a more
perfect cover of the soil, affording in
this manner a less rapid evaporation.
These two causes combined undoubted-
ly have a tendency to diminish the
danger from frost to which crop may
be eXposed.-Portland Transcript

Waferinc the Stock.

A good well of soft water is neces-
sary, especially for cows giving milk.
The water should be pumped directly
into the trough of morning; after the
stock have all been watered, let the
rest of the water out. The cattle should
be watered twice day. Water fresh
Iy pumped from a well about twenty
feet in depth, will be about the temper
ature of 60 degrees; this water is pleas
ant for the cows to drink, and they will
drink large quantity of it. Let the
water out of the trough after the cattle
have finished drinking, especially of an
evening, and with a board cover the
trough over. This takes but few min
utes, and it prevents ice and snow from
filling up the trough. This is one way
of keeping up the milk supply and
keeping the stock in sound health.

VaIue of the SiIo.

On any farm where corn does well,
more cows can be Kept on given num-
Der of acres by using silo than with
out one. Corn produces more COW food
per acre than any other of the ordinary
crops raised. When it is made into
silage there is less waste than when
dry-cured. Cows eat the whole plant,
ears, butts and all, and do not leave the
coarse stalks, as when field-cured. The
ears of corn are soft and easily masti-
Gated and digested; so there is very lit
tie waste of grain. So the silo saves a
great amount of work in husking and
grinding corn, which is necessary when
it is dry, to get it in proper condition
for the cow to get tie full benefit of it.
Another thing: If one has silo, the
harvesting, cutting into short lengths
and storing the fodder in condition to
feed is all done at one wholesale job
early in the season, when the days are
long and the weather good.-Hoard's 8

Kansas Judge Coins a Word.

They were discussing various things
in the clerk of the Supreme Courts
office the other day.; that is, a party of
judges were.
Finally the talk drifted on to the
subject of coming words and phrases.
Mr.. Justice Allen made the remark:
81 coined a new word the other day.
It is good -one, 1 think, and perfectly
natural, but have been unable to find
it in any dictionary. The word is EN-
forcibility.'"
The lawyers present studied awhile
and finally all agreed that the word
would be very useful and fit certain
cases exactly.
Chief Justice Doster declared that he
once used word that exactly describ-
cd certain case, and it seemed to him
that it was by far the best term to ap-
ply. The word he used was "obten-
tion," meaning the act of obtaining.
Judge Doster finally discovered the
word in rare old work on interstate

NJ king Combs.

The cheapest combs are made from
hoofs, but are subjected to costly and
ingenious processes of manufacture. A
circular saw cuts the horns in assorted
sizes, the tips being used for the ham
dies of knives and umbrellas. Very
high degrees of temperature are nee
essary as the hoofs and horns have to
be heated to make the fiber soft. When
the pieces are cut they are placed be-
tween screwblocks and pressed fiat.
Acids are frequently used for staining
an imitation of turquoise-shell, and this
cannot be detected by casual observ-
er. The rough surfaces Of the comb are
smoothed by wheels covered by walrus
skin. Polishing is the last process,
which is done by wheels covered with
leather of different degrees of softness.

SAVING UP LOG,
How P1anks Are Cut in Great West
crn Sawmi11.

W. S. Harwood contributes "The
Story of Pine Board to the st. Mich
olas. After telling of the cutting down
of the tree, and its progress from the
forest to the mill, Mr.. Harwood says:
Up from the yellowish-brown depths
of the slow-moving river, flowing so
steadily on it's way to the sea, comes a
huge, dark brown thing with shining,
dripping coat. 1t is our log, entering
upon it's last stage. 1t passes at once
up long incline called the 'slit-a
trench of wood about eight inches deep
and two feet wide at the top, so hoi-
lowed out that the largest log will lie
in it securely as it is being drawn up
the incline by the stout chains with
which the slit is equipped. Projecting
pieces of steel on this chain serve to
keep the log steady, its great weight
causing it to sink upon these pieces OF
steel, which are like sharp teeth.
workman, standing at the side OF the
slit, by means of lever throws up two
powerful steel-pointed arms which llft
the logs out of the slit and throw them
upon tables, from Which they are roll
ed down to theEcarriage which leads
to the saws. When the log reaches the
carriage it is thrown upon the frame
work by the "nigger"-a long, ratchet
ed timber or piece of steel. This fran A.
work is like a section of an ordinary
flat-car running on regular railroad
track. Two men stand on the moving
carriage, and at a signal from the head
ho bn cS1ttinp of fhn
log, regulate the thickness of the plank
or board by the levers of the carriage.
When the log has been, adjusted 1t
rapidly advances to the saw, and in a
very few seconds its water-soaked
sides have been trimmed by the sharp
teeth. The carriage flies back to the
starting place with the swiftness of the
wind; and it is enough to make one
shudder to see it go. You expect every
instant that one of the men will be
thrown off and terribly injured. They
learn to balance themselves, however,
though there are frequent accidents.
One instant of inattention on the part
of the head sawyer, who regulates the
speed of the carriage by his lever,
would send the carriage flying back to
the end of the mill with tremendous
force, and probably kill both of the
men. One of the men on the carriage,
called the SETTER" fixes the width of
the board to be sawed, on signal from
the head sawyer; the other man is the
second sawyer.
AS 1 stood one day in one of these
mills, watching the men flying forth
and back on the narrow carriage, and
almost expecting that one or both of
them would be thrown off il the swift
ness of their flight, took out my watch
and timed them; and found that they
travelled on an average, on this little
railroad not more than twenty feet
long, one hundred and siXty-eight thou

Straw for Fattenin< Stock.

In all grain-growing districts straw is
plentiful, and where it is used as feed
it is reckoned, and rightly, as food of
very inferior nutrition. The idea of
using it to feed fattening stock is said
to have originated with Joseph j. Me-
chi, a London alderman, who a gener-
alton ago made his name famous by his
writings in agricultural topics. He
largely imported linseed meal for fat
tening beeves. But he found that if
cut hay was used to extend the ration,
only small amount of the linseed meal
could be eaten without cloying the ami
mails. If clover was used still less of
the oil meal could be eaten. But when
he used cut straw which has not pro-
teids, good deal of meal could be eat
en- with relish, and the animals fat
tened faster. But when he fed Indian
corn meal with cut straw, less of the
corn meal would be eaten than when
fed with cut hay. This vindicates the
practice of American farmers, who
feed much Indian corn, and compara-
lively little oil meal.

Artificial Duck Hatching.

This is a great feature in the local
native Industries of Formosa. This is
how it is managed: A long, low shed is
built, mostly of wattles and mud,
which has a thick matched roof. All
around the inside walls are arranged
rough wood troughs, which are filled
up with grain and roasted paddy husk,
on which the eggs are placed as fast
assthey can be procured. In the sum-
mer particular precautions are taken.
but in the winter the eggs are covered
over with quilted coverlets, and far
more care is taken to exclude cold
draughts than is ever dreamt of in a
native dwelling house. The grain,
which is sprinkled with little warm
water, sets up fermentation, and that
with the help of the warm paddy
husk, which is continually being
changed, matches the eggs in about
thirty days. By this simple and mex
pensive process the breeder is enabled
to sell young ducklings at about pen
nv each.
