William Jennings Bryan's latest let

tells the people Of the Cream city that
Sound Money Democrats can get back

convince the silver Democrats that
they are willing to indorse whatever
platform the majority of the party

The first speaker at the Democratic
State Conference in Richmond on May
10th Hon. j. c. Parker, of Southamp-
ton. well said that we were rapidly be-
coming the thralls of insdious influ-
ences and methods that, if not prompt
t. resisted and overthrown, must make
US Il nation OF princes and serfs As
manifest as all this is to the AVERAGE
intelligence. nobody seems al all alarm
ed or excited although some of us point
to the signs OF the times and raise q
cry OF warning. We have undergone
SO much since 1860 that we seem in
different to what fate may have in
store for us and many good men have
in saying:
For forms of government let fools
contest
That which is best administered Is
BEST
Besides while the whrligig OF time
and fortune may make one n serf, it
may. on the contrary. make him Il
prince. with all that that implies; ana
the gambling spirit OF the age has got
into so many that they are willing to
undergo the risk for the chance. 1t is
forgotten that this game Of trusts and
imperial progress is only for the bene-
fit of those on the Inside, with reserved
seats. preferred stock. and who have
been well placed ON the ground floor.
Peace. happiness ana prosperity are
all dependent on liberty. Without that,
religious. political, social and domestic
dncludlng what are called personal
righ,s'O, strife. hate. discomfort. mis-
fortune. and all the ills of life. like rank
weeds. flourish where only flowers
should bloom TO bless.

Allowing the usual average Of about
five readers to every subscriber Of a
paper, we address at least 10000 per-
sons daily, and perhaps many more;

should require some boot for quoting n
paper OF so small circulation as that
of the Richmond Times, although Il has
FIRST quoted and attacked US. The Times
(as We updorstand) is printed for pri-
waite circulation among a. certain set OF

said to be published at all; and when
we give IL and its utterances the ben
eft OF our circulation, we give them an
advertisement altogether beyond any II

frequently avows opinions and purposes
entertained by IT'S set (of Journals and

claimed and urged. although they pre-
fer. just now, to disclaim them them

Millet, says a bulletin OF the agrlcul-
tural department just published Is fed
principally as hay and solllng crop.
The forage ranks we'll with that OF
other grasses In the nutritiVe content,
and Its palatabillty is about that Of
the average for the coarser sorts. For
digestibllity, millet forage compares
favorably with that from other coarse
grasses Already widely grown as
hay crop, millets deserve more general
use for solllng. They are particularly
valuable for feeding to dairy cattle,
young stock, and sheep, There are
many sections OF the country where
this crop can be made TO supplement
the pastures In such way as to allow
q material increase in the number OF
stock that can be kept on the farm.
On account of the heavy yield Of for
age and the good quality Of the prod
uct, mlllets are excellent grasses for
use in the silo. Frequently a good
crop Of millet can be raised under con-
dltions which would not admit of
growing corn for enslling, and in such
instances 1t becomes OF especial value.
One Of the best methods Of preserving
this crop Is by the use Of the sllo.
Those who have tried this method
have obtained excellent results. A
fine quality Of ensllage may be made
by using barnyard millet and legum-
inous crop like soy beans or clover.
The seed of the foxtall mlllets Is wide
ly used as food for fowls and birds
but is seldom fed to stock 1t has,
however, been used in feeding young
stock, such as calves, with fair de-
gree Of success. The seed is an ex-
cellent food for laying hens.

Vaccination for nlachleg.


The Virginia Experiment Station has
Issued bulletin for tho purpose Of
lnstructlng stock owners how to OBJ
tain and use blackleg vaccine for the
purpose of preventing the disease
among their cattle. The vaccine 10 pre-
pared by drying pieces of muscle
taken from the swelling OF IN affected
animal, After being finely ground 1t
is heated at q temperature OF 02 to 9S
degrees certlgrade for q period Of six
hours. 1t Is then pulverlzed to fine
powder and IL kept perfectly dry Will
keep for a year or more, This dried
muscle contains the spores of the
germ OF blackleg, which spores are 30
weakened by the heat process that
their injection into the animal does not
cause a virulent form OF the disease,
but at the same time protects tho ami
NAL from amy future attack OF II. The
immunity 30 produced is said to be
lasting In animals over SIX months of
age. In the Year Book OF the United
States department of agriculture for
1898 the statement is made that from
results gotten from the use OF vaccine,
the loss has been reduced from 10 to
20 per cent to less than per cent.
Up to the present time the Virginia
station has been supplied with lin
tied amount Of vaccine by the Bureau
OF Animal Industry, in all, about four
thousand doses, OF which about $500
doses have been distributed to the
farmers Of that state. Although no
cali has yet been made for reports OF
results the station has heard OF but
two deaths occurring after vaccination,
amounting to very small fraction of
1 per cent, while several have reported
their loss as high as rs per cent before
vaccination. Vaccination has now be-
come so general In Virginia that the
station has decided to manufacture its
own vaccine for free distribution in tho
state. The only expense to the stock
owner In vaccinating his herd is the
vaccinating outfit, which consists OF a
graduated hypodermic syringe, mortar
and pestle, glass funnel, cotton for
filterlng and q small measuring glass.

Some hens begin laying late In the
tall, lay through the winter, and dur
ing the summer losing no time until
August or September, when they be-
gin to moult, says Mirror and Farm
er. But moulting Is considered fault
with such hens, as they receive no
credit for their good works. & they
set an example of usefulness they lead
their owners to expect them to so con-
tInhe, and as soon as they fail to keep
on, their heads fall under the Ratchet
for simply resting from their labors,
while the fat drone hens, that have
been expected to begin, are retained a
second year, In the hope that they
will do better. Virtue does not receive
Its reward, even among hens. 1ndi-
vldual merit is swallowed up In the
vices Of the whole number. Early pull
lets are the most uncertain Of all. A
pullet that does not begin to lay be-
tore she Is ten months old should be
sent to the market stall. 1t does not
pay to keep pullets to replace hens
unless the pullets begin to lay In No

II was empty. The innocent little
maid had vanished-like Cinderella at
the warning stroke-leaving her fnery
behind her. Another shake from his
arate superior, and a glimmering OF
the truth dawned upon the stupehed
senses Of Mr.. James Brown-Mr. Char
lie had been one too many for him
again,
"He's off," painted the detective;
"and it'll be q long day before we get
such chance again! Hang your
country thick-headedness"
The little man literally foamed and
stamped in his impotent fury. Mrs.
Walker, standing at her cottage win
dow, laughed softly to herself as she
watched him.
Eyes, he's or" she repeated. Trust
Master Charlie for being one too many
for such as they. He alwayS was the
eleverest little rascal-bless him! And

nurse amt a-golng to turn on him, let
him be what he will. Ay, ye may rave

mind the safe shelter Of the closed
window-"but you'll never catch him
now. He'll be aboard the yacht ant

he got there"

like an offended turkey-cock. "Dit

'and ask them II they'll step in ant

But Mr.. Widdrington and the CON
