THE kind of hay and its condition when
stored.
l suggest that your correspondent
build barn 40 by 60 feet and "a foot
posts. 1t will be convenient to place
the bcnts 12 feet apart. The cheapest
and strongest construction for the en-
sire frame will be of by and by 8
planks, spiked solidly together.
The accompanying sketch will indi-
@ate how the interior bents are con-
structed. This method of framing is
peculiarly adapted to hay barns. The
entire floor space is left free and no
posts or beams interfere with the work
ing of the horse hay fork or sings. 1t
will be convenient to provide wide doors
so that hay wagons can be driven into
the barn when being filed or for shelter
Tor wagons, etc, when bays are empty.
These driveways may be filled with hay
after the other bays in barn are all full
There should be large doors in each
gable FOR the hay fork or sings. The
aiding for this barn can be of second
grade material. The roof should be
built Of good, durable material, shingle,
Elate or iron. BY all means your cor
respondent should have a track in the
gable running the entire length of barn
upon which is to run hay car carry
ing hay from the load by fork or sling.
There are many outfits now sold which
are very cheap and efficient and their
use in handling 100 tons of hay will
more than pay for the outfit in one sea-
son.-Journal Of Agriculture.

When Horse. Catch Cola.

1t has been noticed that horses that
have been out on pasture for some time
will frequently seem to take cold or
develop case of nasal catarrh when
taken up and kept in the stable. If the
stable is very close and warm and nc
protection is given to the horse TO pre-
vent him from taking cold when
brought out, he is liable TO be affected
by the change during very cold weather.
Sometimes, also, the stable is too open
and he has to stand in a draft when
brought in warm from work. In such
cases cold may frequently follow the
neglect. In many cases, however, the
catarrh or cold may be prevented By
seeing that the stable Is free from filth
and impure air.-Farmers' Review.

Thousands of farmers are using the

that the cold wind striking the out

SALT FOR STOCK.
Every Field Accessible to All
Kinds of Animals.

Some experiments made in France
showed that stock having a regular sup
ply Of salt were more thrifty and made
better use of the feed they ate than
those deprived of salt for a consider
able time.
Salt is one of the necessities of animal
existence and even wild animals travel
long distances to seek salt in the shape
Of salt springs of brackish water. Salt
Is the great cleanser of the blood and
performs an important mission in ami
NAL economy, and as it is very cheap It
should be supplied to all live stock in
liberal quantities.
A supply of salt should be kept in
every pasture field and accessible to the
animals at all times. The common GUS
tom of sailing stock once a week is
a very poor way to supply the needs Of
the stock. The strongest ones will get
enough, possibly, but the weaker ones,
and these are the ones that need it most,
will be kept back and never get full
supply. One Of the best ways to supply
live stock with salt is to buy rock salt
and place slabs of It in places conven-
lent for the stock to get at it. The
weather has but little effect on it and
stock can get all they need by simply
sucking the salt slab.
To feed it to horses put piece in the
feed box where they car get it at any
time. This does not interfere with feed
ing the horses and at the same time a
little of the salt gets on all the grain
given them. Even pigs will lick block
of rock salt, although a good many
people never think of sailing the pigs.

"Maj. M'Kinley was a good man to
work, for and he was always kind and
considerable while was with him. He
showed his consideration in many ways,
and ON one occasion voluntarily gave
pae his check for $500" said Charlie
Cooper, the well-known stenographer,
TO party of friends.
In reply 10 inquiries. he said: "Well,
during the campaign Of 1896 reported
speech after speech throughout the
months of the summer and fall, when
delegations were coming daily from all
parts of the country. The major never
had time to prepare speeches in ad-
vance, and therefore usually spoke eN-
temporaneously. | was there with
notebook and pencil, taking down
what was said, because the newspaper
men required the every utteranee of the
republican candidate for the presiden-
cy, just as the papers required copies
of all of the utterances of Bryan who
was touring the country and talking
from railroad platforms.
"Well, while the grass on the lawn
was being worn out by the tramplings
Of the feet of the tens Of thousands of
callers, was being worn out, too. Maj.
Mckinley is a man who never tires. He
can stand more work than any man
have ever served, and he has always
kept in the best of health. So it was
that year. His speeches were some
times long and sometimes short, but
they were always delivered deliberate
ly, and in such manner that it was COM
paratively easy to take notes of what
he said. That part Of the work was not
hard.
"But after the work of the day was
done | had to write out those speeches
on the typewriter; and had to make
manifold copies for the newspapers.
Many night was hard at IT until aft
er midnight. Fortunately, the delega-
tions did not require any making Of
speeches before nine or ten o'clock in
the morning, so l had plenty of time
for recuperative sleep. But all the time
l was wearing out and getting tired.
The last three weeks got out Of bed
tired every morning. But, of course, ]
never complained. The major was up
late every night also, attending TO cor
respondence and other campaign work,
and all of us were busy as bees. There
was not drone beneath that roof.

from swelling of the glands of the neck,
which necessitated several subsequent
surgical operations. The major knew
that was suffering, and several times
suggested that should take a vacation,
but / wanted to stick it out to the end.
Well, that morning at 1880 o'clock the
ajor called me to him, and told me
that must quit work and take rest.
He said that he was bound to be elected,
and would want me at the white house;
and that must take care of my health
on that account.

and come east for vacation, and for
treatment. He called O'Brien and

In compliance with the request Of a
Texas correspondent, Prof. Mumford,
Of the Missouri agricultural college,
gives a sketch and description of barn

The storage capacity needed for 100
tons Of loose alfalfa hay will depend
largely on the depth of the mows in
which the hay is placed, The deeper
the NOW the greater it's capacity per

n or two Goebel newspapers disputed

that it was in doubt. In the face Of

1t will be remembered that Mr.. Goebel
speaking after Mr.. Bryan in this city,
said that the same election machinery
that he expected to elect him would be
used in a precisely similar manner to
carry the state for Bryan in 1900. This
promise seems to have gotten the better
of Mr.. Bryan's conscience. If Mr..
Bryan is consistent he will now address
letters to the members of the Kentucky
Legislature urging them to seat Goebel

1t is fair to assume that trusts will
never be suppressed by statute law.
The effective remedy for trusts and
their evils must lie in the removal of
the conditions hat create and foster
trusts. These conditions are the result
of special laws and car be changed only
by repeating special laws. One of these
special laws gives us our tariff system,
which, if it is not the mother of trusts,
certainly fosters and protects them. Had
tariff duties been abolished twenty years
ago, we should not now have as many
trusts and most of those formed would
be innocent affairs incapable of fixing
prices at exorbltant figures.

THE EFFECTS OF THE CONTEST.

ah1S Ahh
Now that it has been announced that
an attempt will be made to seize the
state by a Legislative contest, the respon-
sibility for this premeditated revolution
should be clearly established.
AS might have been expected, those
now urging forward this contest are
the men responsible for the music hall
convention and the campaign that
followed. Realizing that they have
burned the bridges behind them and
that for them there is no forgiveness,
these men are working to seize state
offices and then fasten their machines
upon the state.
1t is but natural also that those news
papers which saw nothing in Goebel's
~treachery during the convention but an
admirable diplomacy, and nothing to
censure in his killing of Sanford and
betrayal of Carlisle, should extol this
movement. They are plainly in the
same plight as he is, and must rise or
fall with him. Since the election, by
printing false affidavits and by constant
ly slandering this city, they have been
working to prepare this contest. The
story of tissue ballots, originating either
in the brain of Goebel or in the Office of
the Courier. Journal, was printed in that
paper long before any information could
have been received from the remote and
inaccessible counties where these ballots
are alleged to have beer used.
This contest will injure Mr.. Bryan,
the next candidate of the democratic
party for president. Mr.. Bryan came
to Kentucky fully cognizant of what
had taken place at the convention. He
knew that Goebel had obtained his
nomination by violating a personal
pledge. He also knew that Mr.. Black
burn, for whose election he professed to
be so anxious, had four years previous
denounced Goebel for killing Sanford,
and had sworn to devote all his energy
to ecure his punishment. Conscious of
all these things, Mr.. Bryan came to
Kentucky and spoke in the interest of
| Goebel.
The election followed, and Goebel was
defeated. The result was published in

during the past week, sold for spring
delivery between 175 900 and 200, 900
tons of Newfoundland ore to nine
different concerns in eastern Pennsyl-
vania." But whatever the price of this
imported ore in the open market our
consumers must pay 40 cents a ton duty
in addition to that price. This reduces
by 40 cents the force of the competition
which the trust ought to be obliged to
meet and therefore enables the trust to
eXtort 40 cents a ton more for it's ore
than it could extort if it We're not for the
tariff. But little ore is now brought
across Lake Superior from the Cana
dian side the removal of the duty would
probably result i'll extensive competition
from this quarter and afford some relief
from the exactions of the trust.
But the district which now suffers
most from the duty on ore because the
duty bars its only avenue of escape from
the trust, is the eastern section of the
United States. This section produces
considerable non essemer iron and
needs only large supplies of cheap
Bessemer ore to enable it to make
Bessemer steel. AS early as 1890 Major
l.. S. Bent, president of the Pennsyl-
vania Steel Co., said to the house ways
and means committee, "Give me free
ore and I will sell pig iron in Liverpool
and send steel rails to London"
Because of the duty the mills of the
Pennsylvania Steel Go. at Steelton, Pa,
and at Sparrows Point, Maryland, have
been idle much Of the time during the
last eight years, while many eastern
mills have been permanently closed and
the iron and steel industry of New Eng
land has become almost extinct. With
out tariff restrictions iron and soft coal
would be as cheap in Boston as in Pitts.
burg. With tariff restrictions New
England's iron and steel industry exists
only by consent of the iron and coal
trusts of Pennsyl vania and the lake
district. These trusts have always in
sisted that tariff duties SnOuld be re-
tanned.
1t is evident that while the removal of
the duty on iron ore might not kill the
ore trust it would at least cripple it
somewhat and prevent it from extorting
quite such excessive prices from all sec
tions of the country. AS in the cases
of so many other trusts it is clear that
the first step in their treatmentshould be
clear the way and would show how
much of the trust evil was tariff and
how much something else, which would
require different treatment.
In view of the monopoly uses which
the various iron and other trusts are
