How TO GET Eco IN WINTER

We are often prone to lay to 1.-THE psrver
city OF mature" things which are largely
our own fault, We often complain OF bad
luck, or calmly accept II without com
plsinipg, feeling that we must take "the
inevitable" when the truth is that II We
looked about Us little we mi. ht very cas-
lily remedy that which remedy that which
troubles us. II often seems to be . bsrd
provision OF nature that our hens should
Icy plentiiully in the summer, when egss
briug 10 cents dozen. and go back on ms
completely 10 the winter. when eggs are
worth from rs to 80 cents dozen. But
the truth is that 1t is the fault OF neither
nature nor the hens. The whole trouble
is that we do not get our hens into the
proper condition 10 lay eggs. We are
not fair to the hen.
When we send q man to do . piece Of
work we are ususlly careful to select 8
man who ia 10 = working condition, and
not man who ought TO be 10 The hospi
tai. But somehow or other We never
seem TO think about that with our henf.
Anything that wears feathers and goes Cd
two legs seems good enough to us to lay
eggs, 20 matter what it's condition. Here
Is where we make mistake No. /.
Then. when we seod q man TO do Q
piece OF work we are apt to see that he bee
the tools TO work with. We are not like
Pharaoh 10 demanding bricks without
straw, Bot how about our hensp Do We
not demspd eggs without proper food?
We do thst very thing over and over
again.
II there is one thing established in
henolosy it lie that the that the fondness
OF fowls for buds and worms is not an no
natural taste. The animal MISTER th1s
supplies a most important element in the
fowls food. Aad ii. is largely because
the hens cannot procure this food in win
ter that they cease to Icy egss,
Another season for few eggs 10 winter
is that the hens are not only not in the
best physicsl condition, but the food they
get does not contain the proper elements
for egg making, and. as has been limited,
Q hen cannot make bricks without straw
Food containing the Necessary elements
must be supplied II We are to have fol-
egg baskets.
1t is for this reason that feeding OF
green cut bones has become 60 popular
among money making poultrymen and
women. Green cut bone supplies this
needed element IS does no other food,
and stA less expense than grain can be
fed. 1t keeps the fowls healthy. it makes
eggs, and is, iL short, On indispensable
food. No person who keeps iowls, be

THE SILVER ISSUE FIRST.

Those more intelligent Democrats who see
that TO make the free and unlimited coinage
of silver at the ratio Of 16 to l a leading is
sue in 1900 means another disastrous defeat
have found some consolation in the report
that in one of his speeches in Iowa Mr..
Bryan intimated that the silver question
might be relegated to the rear. There was
no real ground for such a hope, since II was
held forth in the headlines of a half-dozen
papers but was not sustained by what Mr..
Bryan said. But that slight hope Mr..
Bryan himself blasted in his recent speech
in Omaha, when he said:
My attention has been called to a report
sent out from Des Moines to the effect that
I was willing to subordinate the silver aues-
ton TO other questions, and asked whether
! was correctly reported. j never said at

1 have insisted at all times and in all places
that the money question VIII be before the

have repeated over and over again that this
Nation must act alone, without waiting for
the aid or consent Of any other nation, and
minis can be opened. There is no possible
excuse for the constant effort OF the gold
press to misrepresent the views of free-sil.
yer men. I have never for one moment
thought a compromise desirable or possible.
Mr.. Bryan. whatever may be thought of
his theory. is wise. from a personal point of
view. in sticking TO 16 to /. He stands for
that before the country, and for nothing
else. Therefore. when he intimates a will
ingness that the silver question shall be
overshadowed by any other issue he practi-
cally repudiates himself-a thing which the
Germans. the Whitneys. the Morsses. the
Taggarts and the mass of Democrats who
touch the actual business world are anxious
that he shall do. In the course or the
Omaha speech Mr. Bryan said that 1.-The
trust question Is a great question. but we
cannot make peace with the money trust in
order to attack the toothpick trust" Thus
does Mr.. Bryan belittle the Importance OF
lighting trusts. Compared with the silver
issue al other issues are Of the ~toothpick

PEARL

IT Is some time since the p~earl-button
editor of the News has INDUCED in fearful
lamentations over the woes OF the button
makers of Austria who were thrown out of
work by our Ubiquitous tariff. At one period
a day seldom passed In which he failed to
agonize over their sufferings and the wick
edness of attempting to establish the indus
try in this country, and sensitive readers
might well nave fancied that he swallowed
a few buttons daily in order to put himself
in a sympathetic frame of mind They
might also have felt guilty in case they
nance to nave on their clothing a button
not made abroad, but it is not known that
any of them did experience such feeling.
However this may be. the tariff was not
removed, and practical and unsympathetic
persons. more concerned with the industries
of their own country than with those of
foreign lands. proceeded to manufacture
buttons in the United States. The upper
Mississippi was found to be a good location
because of the abundance of suitable mus
sci shells in that river. Muscatine, Ia, was
chosen as the site of the first factory. and
has now become the leading center. other
towns on the Mississippi and its tributaries
established works from time to time. until
In 1888 there were twenty-one communities
in Iowa and Illinois in which buttons were
made. An account of the industry in a re-
cent issue Of the Scientific American says:
A remarkable development of the business
occurred in 1893, no less than thirty-Six rae
tories being established during the nrst SIX
months of that year. Button-making has
along a section of the MISSISSIPPI nearly
200 miles in length between Fort Madison.
Ia. and Sabula. Ia 1t gives employment
to large numbers of people at what are con-
sidered good wages for such labor. IL also
supports a very important fishery, at which
many hundred persons make a living. An.
other important feature of the MISSISSIPPI
river button Industry is the transformation
of a hitherto useless product into a valua-
able commodity, which is placed on the
markets at reasonable prices.
Now. presumably, the champions of the
Austrians thus deprived Of the privilege of
making buttons for the American multitude
are themselves still using only high-priced
imported buttons on their garments. but the
plain, Unconditional citizen gifted with the
average measure of common sense is glad
of the development of an industry in his
own country that gives employment to
many persons and adds to the general pros
perity. He is likewise glad of the existence
of a benefcent law that encourages the
growth of such industries.

1t is not a matter for great surprise when
mineral wealth is discovered even in we'll
settled parts of the United States. for, as
everyone knows, the attention of The people
has been given first to the clearing and de-
veloping of farms and to the establishing OF
the necessary industries Of a new civiliza-
ton rather than to geological Investigations.
1t is a common belief that minerals, more
or less valuable. exist undecided in many
of the older as well as the newer States, and
that as circumstances favor they will be
brought to light 1t is a surprise to learn
however, that such discoveries are still pos
sible in England. 1t is only reasonable to
suppose that in that old and populous
island. with its many scientists of high and
low degree going up and down, the posi-
bilities Of every foot of ground would be
known, yet, according to the London Mail,
an enterprising gentleman has been explor-
ing the Cumberland hills for some years
under the belief that he would find mineral
wealth. He was ridiculed and called a min
ing maniac, but after a series of expert
ments in which he had the assistance of

shrewdness. He has found veins of galena
ore containing nearly 50 per cent. of lead
and also carrying traces of silver; there is

carries over 60 per cent. The Mail acknowl-
edges that the story reads like a chapter
from the Arabian Nights but has such
information that it accepts the tale for truth
and even goes so far as to advance the
theory that the counties of Cumberland and
Westmoreland are destined to become one of
the richest mining districts in the world.
With such possibilities inside their own
doors Englishmen need not wander to the
ends of the world in search of fortune and
adventure.

AN EDITOR ELECTIONEERs
Reasons Why j. Adam Bede Wants TO
BE Sent to Congress.
Bede's Budget Ouluth.)

Dcuc , DuuSet tDuIuln.D
The following are a few reasons why the
editor of this paper seeks the Republican
nomination for Congress in this. the Sixth
or Duluth district. of Minnesota:
Because a change seems necessary to take
the district out of the doubtful column.
Because If nominated he would surely be
elected. and the loss of only seven seats out
OF S07 would give the House TO the OPPOSE
ton.
Because he has done newspaper work in
Washington and is as familiar with the
du-leS or a congressman as any member the
district has had in the last ten years.
Because he has a wide acquaintance
among the national leaders of the Repub-
lcan party and would not have to do time
to gain their confidence, but would become
a working member at once.
Because he has a wide personal acquaint-
ance In Duluth and st. Louis county. where
he lived many years, and is familiar with
trict.
Because his nomination would tend to
hold In the Republican party a considerable
number of newly acquired members who
seem somewhat inclined to drift away.
Because his services in 1856 made possible
the election of the present incumbent, whose
rejection in 1909 seems doubtful.
Because ne has a wide acquaintance all
over the district and is in touch with the
plain people.
Because the next campaign is to be a
oaItie royal; and he is ready to- meet any
bate of the living issues-or the dead ones.
Because he did all in his power in the last
CdiupdiSH 10 secure a Dig majority Tor the
present incumbent and thereby make him a
fixture at Washington. but the voters
wouldn't have 1t that way.
Because the officeholders who said they
would carry Duluth and get 5000 majority
In the district last fall, were Just as wise
then as they are now. and are not a safe
guide.
Because under the United States Constitu-
ton, Article /. Section 2, the House of
Representatives shall be composed of men,
bers chosen every second year by the peo-
Die OF fh0 several States " and in nr6nr ~
keep a man there We must biennially get

Because the war enthusiasm and the plea
to uphold the hands of the President. which
saved the district last year. will not be
available again..
Because We have an opposition State adj
ministration to go against which we did not
have to contend with before.
Because with a rising market and trust
combinations there is every likelihood of
Widespread labor troubles which always
hurt the party in power, and therefore the
canGidate that can get the most votes ought
to run.
Because in the light of the last two cam
paigns he feels entitled to the support of
the present Incumbent.
Because the Office would afford him a

The Mclean Campaign.
Washington Special.


Ohio politicians returning from that State
report that outside of Cincinnati and two
or three adjoining counties Mclean enthu-
siasm is not of the exuberant variety. Pow
erful opposition to his nomination has de-
veloped in nearly every strong Democratic
county in the State. Tine masses of the
Democratic faith appear to be set against
him because they regard him as an offensive
example Of great wealth and as one who
cannot be relied upon to fight trusts hon
estly and earnestly. This idea Is deeply
rooted. according to advices received from
a great many men who have thoroughly can
vassed the State in an informal way. The
chances are that he will receive the nomina-
ton, but ii will not be a walkover, and his
selection will breed no end of dissatisfaction
among the workers. How Mayor Jones of
Toledo will stand is still one of the unset
tied factors ana one of the greatest possible
Importance. Two or three weeks ago he
had determined to run for Governor, and so
announced with certain indefinite reserva-
tons. Since then Organization Democrats
of his acquaintance have tried TO make him
believe that he is being worked by the
Republicans and entrapped by them into
taking a position which will insure the de-
feat of the regular Democratic ticket. The
story. absurd as it is, has caused Mayor
Jones TO hesitate. and his course at the pres
ent time is uncertain.
