Feed Fowls Slowly,

The great trouble with most fowl
fanciers is that in their zeal to promote
egg production they feed too heavily.
and the fowls fatten instead of laying.
Corn also is 4 bad feed for fowls, es-
pecially if shelled and thrown where
the fowls can eat it as rapidly as they
can pick it mp, If Il person shells by
hand an ear of corn and throws il
among thirty Or fifty fowls the active
one will get it fully as fast as they
should. The better way IS to mix the
grain and small grain as well among
cut straw and let the fowls earn their
living by scratching for it.

Dispose of UnprofitabIe Cows.

The Toronto Globe says a Canadian
farmer who kept twenty-four COWS and
two hired men, tested his cows with
the Babcock test and found that eight
were improbable. He disposed Of
them and let one hired nan go, and at
the end Of the year found that he had
made as much money from the sixteen
as from the twenty-four. Now he has
got down to twelve good cows, and ex-
poets as much from them as he made
from twice that number. Now he can
increase up to his original number as
fast as he a find or grow good COWS,
and increase his profits.

Value of the Farm.

Waldo F. Brown, in the Cincinnati
Gezette, says for ten years past he has
estimated what his farm was worth
to his family, and finds that at fair val
uation the farm vas paying over 8 per
cent. on the investment, if only enough
were sold to pay taxes, insurance and
hired help. In other words, with a
family of eight persons to be fed, the
farm, valued at $1,000, was furnishing
what would cost, if bought in market,
from $500 to $500, namely fruit, veg
etables, poultry and dairy products,
breadstuffs and meats, all of best quail
ity and furnished in abundance.

quired weight our gold coin is legal
tender only in proportion to its weight.
A coin worn by abrasion and below
weight, like the coin of full weight, is
worth the material in it and nothing
more. One more illustration. The
government makes large ingots;
blocks of gold; stamps them with their
weight and degree of fneness, and
these ingots are used in large trans
actions in lieu of coin, and are more
convenient for shipment. You will
readily see that these ingots are as
valuable as though coined for the gov
eminent stands ready to coin them free
whenever the coin is preferred, and
when coined the product of the mint is
worth no more than the material fur
nished the mint. l had been teaching
this principle for some time before
knew that anyone else had said the
same thing. Then l found where Sen
ator Jones had said that gold was not

Jones and 1 we're teaching the same

GENTLENIEN:-I notice from the
election returns that a whole lot of re-
publicans voted for the democratic
candidates on the county ticket. 1t
strikes me as very funny that republi-
cans cannot see that they cannot afford
to vote for democrats as long as our
party isa minority party. I heard a
democrat say that the republicans
saved Carey's bac,n''; that enough
democrats voted against Carey to have
defeated him if the republicans had all
voted for Kadoch. l do not know
whether this is true or not, but the re-
turns show that there were many re.
publican votes cast for the democratic
candidates. The republicans will never
succeed until they learn to vote their
ticket straight. In Ida county the re-
publicans carried the county by nearly
200 majority. but the entire democratic
county ticket was elected. 1t appears
that there were NO good men running
on the republican ticket in that county,
lit one should judge by the votes, and
yet the fact is, that the republican
ticket Of Ida county is said to be in
every way the equal, if not superior to
the democratic county ticket. The
weak-kneed republicans thereas here
could not resist the pleadingsI of the
democratic candidates who begged fo1
votes. Republican scratchers ought to
give this matter little thought and
bear in mind that if they ever wish to
elect any of their ticket they will have
4 to vote straight" just as the Bulletin
advised the democrats to vote. Ihave
learned "a thing or two" and hereafter
guess iii not look for an excuse to vote
against my own party candidates.

Germania Opera House Proves too
Small.
A MAsTERLY ADDRESS.
The Best Speech Ever Delivered From the
Opera House Stage.-Holds the
Audience Some Two Hours.

Before you can expect to look at the
merits or dement's of the propositions
presented in the platforms of the var
ious parties you must dsabuse your
minds of the suggestion that the con-
gress of the coming government is con-
trolled by the few to the prejudice of
the many. That / may aid you in this
let me say: You never sent man to
congress, and never will, who has not
and will not do his best for his consti-
tuents. 1 can tell you why in a word.
He will want to be returned. My sill
yer friend, after all that you have said
about congress being controlled by the
money power / want to ask if you were
to got 10 congress whether the money
power could control you? OF course
not. Neither can it control your
neighbor.
But gold is no more the rich mans
money than is silver. A year ago
when lived among you the poor man
had neither gold nor silver. Does he
have now? How is this? Have the
poor men Of Denison today large guam
titles of silver which they desire coined
free? Do the poor men own silver
mines? In certain sense both gold
and silver are the rich mans money.
And I insist that gold, If either, rather
than silver is the poor mans money.
The poor man can mine gold. All the
&C. <>E
the sand by the rich man and the poor
man standing side by side, and the ac-
cumIlations of one does not increase
his product. On the other hand no
poor man mines silver. In order to be
producer of silver one must have a
quartz mill and smelter and it will
cost fifty thousand dollars to establish
the plant. But this is not the reason.
There is nothing in this argument
Why is it then that the government
does coin gold free and declines to coin
silver free? 1t is your business and
mine to discover this reason, for rea
4 son must exist.
A standard coin is worth the mater
ial of which it is composed. This is al
elementary proposition and it must bt
learned. If you learn it and remember
it, it will keep you out of all manner o.
financial heresy. If You do not learr
it you are liable to become green
hacker. The United States dollar to
day is worth 25.S grains of STANDARD
gold
When you go out on the street to
morrow some one will say, Shaw j
wrong. 1 must tarry here and es
tablish the truth of this proposition
If you take twenty dollar gold piec
that has been worn, and with it al
tempt to discharge twenty dolla

hand it back to you unless it weigh
the required amount. The fact tina
there is Still legible on the coin tn
