DEMOCRACY OF CHARLESTON.
city League Declares All Must Abide
by the Primary.


Charleston, S. c., May IA convention
of the city democracy of Charleston was
held to-day. This party is entirely dis
tinct from the county democracy. 1t deals
with municipal elections only, and, as
Charleston is to elect Mayor and coun-
ell this year, great interest centers in pol
itics.
The convention to-day elected r. G..
Rhett chairman of the executive COM
mittee of the party, and adopted resolu-
tons demanding that the verdict of the
primary be final. This is the outgrowth
of the fact that the city reformers refused
to take part in the primary four years
ago and put out ticket at the general
election.
The resolutions adopted to-day declare
that the club not participating in or not
abiding by the primary is outside of the
party. The convention was harmonious.

P1G-PEN POINTERS.

A sour swill is often the cause of
scours in pigs.
Does the sow have to climb steep
plank to get to her pen?
Small, unstable, cooked potatoes are
good for the hogs; mix with sldm-milk
and a little cornmeal.
Lice can be driven from hogs by talk
ing paint brush and with it apply
ing kerosene or fish oil.
Don't forget to see that the brood
sows have plenty of clean water to
drink while they are raising their pigs.
Don't expect a clover field pastured
by pigs to produce hay the next season.
Too many roots will be rooted out and
eaten.
The first time pig follows its dam
from the nest, let it see grass in its
walk, and have it before it as soon "a
it will eat.
Pigs need no litter for a bed in sum-
mer. After the ground is warm a dry
knoll is better than straw. A clover
field is the best pasture.
AS pigs increase in age it may be well
to increase slightly the proportion of
corn in order to make the ration a little
more carbonaceous toward the finish
ing period.
Breed. feed, fatten and, market the
hogs young, and turn off two crops a
year rather than one every two years,
as was the old custom. A good clover
field helps in this wonderfully, and in it
the hogs will keep vigorous and healthy.

Natural Ga. Wen. Run Dry.

Ten years ago the daily capacity Of
the natural gas wells in the Findlay
co., fields was 2Oo,ooo,ooo feet. Now it
is down to few million feet, and the
pressure is so low that the supply is
almost useless. This year will mark
the passing of natural gas as fuel in
all of northwestern Ohio. The big pipe
lines which carried gas to Toledo, Tiff
fin, Sanduslzy, Norwalk and many
smaller places are fast being abandoned
and the pipes taken up. The pump sta
tons of the Northwestern Natural Gas
company are shut down, as are those Of
the city of Toledo, which cost the mu-
nicipality $1,5oo,ooo. The gas would
have lasted many years longer if in the
early years of its discovery it had not
been wasted. The famous Krag we'll,
probably the greatest gas producer ever
opened up, was allowed to burn uncon-
fined for months at time, millions of
feet going to waste daily. All through
the natural gas belt, in the early days of
the craze, the streets were lit by great
torches, the flames from which some
times fared up 30 feet into the air.

HIS BATH NOT A SUCCESS

clothes.

It seems aer husband had been out very
late celebrating, and as he came home in the
rose flush of the morning he thought it
would be capital idea to take bath be-
fore getting into bed. First of all and most
important it would contradict any wrong
impression as to his condition, as his wife
sometimes had wrong impressions when he
had been out late at night. Women are so
suspicious.
So he went boldly to the bathroom and
was soon splashing around as gayly as a
canary. In fact, he created such an un-
usual commotion that his wife woke up
and went to see what was the matter.
Suddenly he saw her gazing through the
door with look SO cold and contempt
uous that it struck chill to his very
heart. But he made dive for the soap
and went on industriously with his ablu-
tions.
.'What are you doing there, Peter?" she
asked him.
He made the effort of his life to appear
debonair and perfectly sober.
Cant you see what am doing, my dear?"
Unanswered, with another prodigious splash.
"I'm taking bath"
Don't you think it would be good idea
for you to take off your underclothes!" she
asked him, with frozen reflection, as she
passed out of sight.-Chicago Inter Ocean.

FEEDING EAR CORN.
Proves Uswssdem Of the Practice e
~ EloQsent FIgares. a'1 rs

The practice of feeding esr-corn to
cattle is very widespread. The impress
sion seems to be that what is lost In
the unused corn is made up in the say.
ing in labor and expense Of grinding.
The practice of having hogs follow
cattle originated in a desire to make
good part of this loss. The practice,
however, is not one that commends it.
self to men that practice advanced
methods in feeding. Even in the cases
Of men that have their cattle followed
by hogs in summer time, the same prac-
tice Of feeding corn on the cob is con-
tinued during the winter and during all
other times, when the loss cannot GER
tninly be made good by the hogs. Ex-
periments have demonstrated that the
loss OF good feeding material by the
practice is very large. The New Jersey
experiment station recently made
some tests that were strongly demon
strative of the unwisdom of this course.
One COW was fed ten pounds of corn on
the cob daily, of which 5.73 pounds ap-
peared in the excrement, thus showing
that 57.3 per cent. went through the
stomachs of the cow without being af-
fected by the digestive processes. 1t
must be taken into consideration that
there is loss otherwise than of the 57.3
per cent. OF corn, for the animal has
had to use some force in the process of
passing this unused material through
the system. The station mentioned
figured out that in the case Of COW Civ
ing milk the value of ton of corn and
cob meal was 1898 more than ton of
ear corn. OF course, from this must be
deducted the cost of husking and grind
ing ton of corn, but this would seldom
exceed half of the increased value
presented.-Farmers' Review.

An Outing Hint from Outing.
Fast, safe, superbly equipped and most

at the great popularity of the New York

tenn In the possession of the Grand Central

beckons its thousands. As autumn falls,
Americas scenic masterpiece, far-famed
Niagara, will claim its annual host of pill

carefu,ly-Dred Animals.

The superiority of the English,
Scotch and French horses is due to
their being raised almost as part of
the family. Behind their docility, size
and adaptability to special work, the
pillow. the saddle or the buggy, is a long
line of kindly care, patient training
and careful breeding. That marvellous
capacity for producing milk, possessed
by the Holstein COW, and the superlative
richness Of the milk of the Jersey, are
the results of judicious feeding, han
ding and breeding, and of wise selec-
ton for many years in sections where
q few cows are kept by each family as
valued treasure. The same is true of
all the better breeds of horses and other
domestic animals.-Prof. s. A. Knapp.

When Horse. Catch Cold.

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 no
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 n 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.

that the cold wind striking the out
