day for some time; then after nearly
two months the doctor gave me permits
sion to go back to work. Invent back,
but. in less than. week was COM
PEELED to give up and go to bed. On
breaking down the second time, / de-
cfded to let doctors and their medicine
alone and try your remedies. Before
the first bottle was gone / felt the eff

OreoOn Stntion. 80

We did anotsA Mnk pumpkins aasvalu-
able for feeding to hogs a. we did to
cattle, but when they were plenty the
hogs had some every day, for we could
not keep them late in the winter. We
never cooked them unless to throw in a
few when boiling small potatoes or
other roots for the hogs, as we thought
them too watery when boiled, and they
seemed to be relished better when given
raw. We notice IN = bulletin sent out
by the Oregon Experiment station
that they tested pumpkins for hogs
weighing 140 to 200 pounds each for
four periods of II days each. The
pumpkins were cooked with shorts.
For the first two weeks itstook 15.A5
pounds Of pumpkins and 2.1apounds Of
shorts to make q pound of gain. The
next two weeks it took 1896 pounds
Of pumpkins and "a pounds Of SHIRTS.
In the third period 14.39 poundsof the
pumpkin and Ito pounds shorts and
for the last two weeks 14.46 pounds Of
pumpkins and 2.54 pounds of shorts.
The average gain for each hog during
the whole time was about ia pounds
per day, and counting pumpkins at
$3.50 a ton and shorts at SIP the cost
per pound of gain was 80 cents. This
may have been cheap enough. but we
think il could have been made cheaper
upon raw pumpkins, and by using 4 lit
ktles more shorts, or perhaps mixture

yesterday to Edgewater on the Hud-

Congress street and Palisade avenue

Bergen, walked over to Hudson Heights

and from there took an E~nglewood cal

They enjoyed dinner on the picnic
grounds and strolled along the river
banks. In this vicinity the Rev. DR.

a number of handsome villas in the

The latest announcement, that the
President has represented to Secretary
AlKer that his resignation as Secretary
Of war would be acceptable, gives rea-
sons for the Presidents action. It is not,
Is most simple minded citizens would sup
pose, for the beef scandals. the notorious
fagorItism to the detriment of the milf
tery service, or for the many other scam
4als of the War Department which have
6jseraced the country since the war with
spain began, that finally the President
has decided to get rid Of the Michigan
circumference. Oh no. It is simple selfish
ness according to the dispatches from
Washington that has prompted his action.
The corresponding tell US that the Sec
r<tary OF War wants to be Senator from
Michigan and in order to achieve his am
6ition he has made an alliance with
ssPotato'' Pingree. Now Pingree is. ac-
cording to the Washington dispatches,
every thing but a loyal Republican. friend
" to Mckinley and his policy. In fact he
Is credited with doing all he can to defeat
Mckinleys pet scheme for q renomina-
ton. SO when a member of his own house
hold. one to whom he has stuck closely
though ali kinds Of evil report, shows
such base ingratitude as to ally
himself with one of his worst enemies.
Mr.. Mckinley has turned like the
proverbial worm and the fiat has gone
forth that Alger must go.
The death and sufferings of the coun-
try's brave soldiers in the fever-strieken
camps of Cuba and Long Island through
the in~competency, If nothing worse. Of the
War Department, was nothing to the
President. The complaints of insufficient.
unwholesome and poisonous food supplied
by the same incompetency to the troops
at the front, the heart-rending cries for
something to eat Of the best sons of the
land, the unconscious rawlings of the dis
ease stricken soldiers, and the indignant
protests of an outraged public, had no
effect whatever upon William Mckinley.
But just as soon as the cause of all this
turned his hands against the personal in
terests Of the President and aimed a
blow at his hopes of further advance
ment. the Chief Executive bestirred him
self and rebuked the u~nfaithful public
servant.
And this is the same William Mckinley
whom the Republican papers praise SO
highly as a patriotic self-sacrifcing citi-
zen and who is lauded to the skies as an
ideal President Of this great Republic.
The people will not be deceived always.
They Will fittingly rebuke such crimina
aelishness at the polls in November,
1900.
