DEMOCRATS COMPOUNDED.
Increased Wages and Continued
Prosperity Make the Bry-
antics Wobble.

These are the days that try the souls
of the doomed Bryanite party. The
weekly capacity of the furnaces in blast
throughout the United States at the
first of the present month was 1851
tons. 1t was 112,7S2 tons at the be-
ginning of October, 1896. That was the
date when the Bryanite reign of terror
was at its acute stage. Iron production,
which has always been considered a
trustworthy barometer of the condi-
ton of general trade, is more than
double at the present moment what it
was at the time when there was some
fear throughout the country that Bry
an, after all, might be elected in the can
vass few weeks later. The bank clear
ances of the country, which are, Of
course, a faithful reflection of the bust
ness situation, are almost double also
what they were in the summer and ear
ly fall of 1896.
Here are some of the facts which will
assail the democratic party when it be-
gins to appeal to the people in 1900 to
put the control of the government and
the interests of the country in its
hands. Another fact which will ten
even more decisively against the de-
mocracy is that 100000 workers
throughout the United States have had
their wages increased since the open
ing of 1899. Bryan's old gag about the
nonarrival of general prosperity will
have to hide itself in the presence of
these facts. 1t has probably been re-
tired already. There has been no men,

five or six speeches a week which he
makes these days. There are some fol-
lies and absurdities which abash even

BRINGING UP CALVES.
MIX Is the Best All-Around Food. But
1t Is by No Means Indispens-
able Nowadays.

In the admira BILE paper on rearing
and feeding commercial cattle, which
be read recently at Glasgow, w. S. Fer
guson declared that milk was the only
proper food for young calves. None
OF the several so-called substitutes, in
his opinion, could efficiently take it's
place. Naturally this somewhat sweep
ing statement has not been allowed to
pass unchallenged. Farmers, as well
as others closely interested, dispute
the accuracy of the assertion, and are
ready with practical evidence of the
utility of the artificial calf foods. MIR.
Ferguson would probably have been
correct had he merely stated that milk
was the best food for young calves, but
to say that milk is the only calf food and
that it could not be advantageously
substituted, is to assume more than the
facts warrant. Milk admittedly NAV
make the best calves, but that does not
necessarily mean that it is the most
economical food to use in calf rearing.
The point as to what method of rear
ing is the best one to adopt, like so many
other selections which the farmer is
called on to make, depends largely on
the market value of the different ar
ticles. a good outlet for new milk may
easily render it a prohibited article for
calf rearing, but, contrary to what Mr.
Ferguson's assertion would imply, that
does not mean that milk selling and cali
rearing are impossible pursuits or i'm
practicable on the one farm. Thanks
to the several finely balanced and
wholesome artificial preparations on
the market the farmer may sell his milk
when prices advise that course and yet
continue to rear good rent paying
calves. In short, milk, if the best of
articles, is not now Indispensable, and
may not be the most profitable food for
calves.-London Chronicle.

Teaching Calves Drink.

Nature teaches the calf to turn its
mouth upward to get its food. The I'M
willingness of the calf to put it's head
down into pail is the result of instinct.
Some have thought to offset this in
stinct by never allowing the calf to suck
it's dam even once. But we think this
Injuries the calf. 1t needs stimulation
when first born, and should be allowed
to get it in the way most natural to it.
In sucking the teat the milk comes
slowly, and good deal of saliva is
mixed with it. But after once sucking
its dam the calf should be taught to
drink out of a pail, and to put its head
down when eating. 1t will need to be
pretty hungry to do this readily, and
the finger should be used, placing it
first in the calf's mouth, and then put
ting the finger into the milk. So soon
as the calf gets fairly to drinking the
finger should be withdrawn.-Ameri-
can Cultivator.

No Fear of Competition.

No one need fear an overproduction
of really good dairy products. Such a
thing is possible, but there is such a
small proportion of the men engaged
in dairy work that are willing to take
the pains always to produce what is
really excellent that the supply of the
best butter and the richest, purest milk
which keeps sweet a long time will al
ways be far less than the demand, and
will consequently always bring good
price. The producer of these does not
have to exchange them for high priced
goods nor hawk them about the streets.
He can have his regular customers and
contract price, good one, for all he
can produce.-Journal of Agriculture.

DAIRY PHILOSOPHY.

If little extra care will secure you
one cent pound more for your butter,
it will be one dollar extra on a hundred
pounds. Money is what we conduct the
dairy for.
If we have kept cow all winter that
is Improbable, do not let her cat up
valuable grass during the summer. An
improbable COW is improbable either
on or off pasture.
The poor butter does not sell as quick
ly as good butter, and the longer butter
is kept the worse it is. No wonder
that so much butter does not bring the
cost of it's production.
Honor to the boy who thinks his ia
theirs knowledge pretty nearly perfect.
But let no young dairyman, however,
successful his father was as q dairyman
think that there is nothing to learn.
In nearly every paper devoted to the
dairy that we pick up, we find kindness
to the COW urged. Is it fact that men
are so reckless as to be brutal to the
cows, and that so much space need be
used to urge kindness?
Don't forget that there are more Ii.

than has ever before been the case

is quite as repugnant to republicans as
it is to democrats, but the former, as the

They have to reflect on the obligations

upon the duty of bringing order out of
anarchy, upon the question of stability

There is no doubt, however, that there
is strong and perhaps growing senti-
ment among the people against the use

"IMPERIALISMo THE CRY.
The Only Thing Left for the Great
Democratic Party to Get To-
gether On.

1t is evident that the democrats have
at last found an issue which holds out
some promise of harmony among them
selves. Within a few days there have
been three party banquets at which de-
nunciation of imperialism was the main
feature of the programme. The speak
crs took to their work with unmistaka-
BILE Sest, and their auditors applauded
them vigorously. In the entire list of
addresses only three speakers deviated
from the general course. One of them,
Il. j. Roosevelt, did say over his $40
plate in New York: eve will never sur
render back to barbarianism 4 single
foot of the land won by the heroism of
our soldiers and sanctifed by their
blood" But Mr.. Roosevelt was carried
away by the inspiration of his name,
and what he said did not count. The
gold and silver men of New York and
the gold men and silver remnant of Wis
consin were practically unanimous in
their opposition to what is going on in
the Philippines.
This is the particular aspect of i'm
perialism which invites their declama-
tory attacks. In his New York speech
Mr.. Bryan was particularly vehement.
He likened the United States to bully
and asserted that American government
of the Filipinos was despotism. At the
same time he did not suggest an alter
native plan to the one that is being pur-
sued, nor has any one of his associates.
The campaign is one of criticism merely.
This is one reason why it is so allur-
ing. 1t has no burdens, no perpleXties,
no responsibilities. All that is neces-
sary is the indignant rhetoric of pro-
test, while on the other side there are
the heaviest burdens, the most puzzling
perpleXities, the gravest responsible

to win; who recognizes at least the
fundamental truth that more flies can
be caught with molasses than with
vinegar.-Albany Argus (Dem.).
UIn late letter Mr.. Bryan says: 81
am satisfied that you are right in say
ing that many democrats who voted for
Mckinley are disappointed with the re-
publican administration and will vote
the democratic ticket in the future

ROOTS FOR THE DAIRY.
Why Farmers Should Plan to Plant
an Acre or Two to the Sue
culent Mangel.

Wherever few cows are kept for
milk or butter it would be well to con-
slider the ACCESSIBILITY of growing few
roots. ton of roots does not have as
large a food value as most feeds we
might mention, but it furnishes sue
culence which cannot be obtained in
winter from any other food except 81
lage. Silage requires equipment in the
way of silo and cutting machinery
which is not available to the man with
a small herd. Roots may be grown on
any good loan soil, and will yield
profitable return in feed for labor ex-
pended.
At the Indiana station mangels were
grown at labor cost of $1.07 ton.
This included blowing, fitting, plant
ing, wedding, cultivation and harvest
ing. The variety which made the larg-
est yield and was easiest to remove from
the ground and handle to and from the
wagon was the Giant Yellow Inter-
mediate. 1t grows well out of the
ground. The neck of the largest man
gels of this variety were small enough
to be grasped and picked up convenient
~ with one hand. This is a large saving
in time over the varieties which are so
large and round like ball that they
must be fumbled to get a good hold, or
possibly use two hands. The Nam
moth Long Red mangel is good han
dler, but last season did not yield as
well as the Giant Yellow intermediate.
Four varieties varied in yield from 16
to rs tons to the acre.
Plant in rows from IS to 30 inches
apart, depending upon the man and
horse which must cultivate them. Sow
at the rate of six pounds to the acre.
A good stand of plants will permit cut
ting out with hoe all but bunch
every eight inches, then these should be
thinned with the hand, leaving only the
strongest plant of the bunch. 1t is es-
pecially desirable that this thinning be
well done. Where two plants are left
together neither makes a good growth
in size or shape.
Care should be taken not to allow the
weeds to get started ahead of the man
gels. Keep the ground loose by means
of cultivation. A spike-tooth cultivator
or weeder works nicely. A chain drag
ging behind leaves the ground in very
nice conditional. Z. Van Norman, in
Farm and Firesde.

There are many branches of science
that are intricate and very difficult to
acquire and understand. and if there is
one more difficult than another the
manufacture of cheese seems to be that
one. When we consider the hidden
power of rennet action, the active eff
feet of fermentation and bacterial in
Iuences, the varied unknown condi-
tons OF milk as received at cheese fac
tories and the intricate combinations
that any or all of these form &c effect

Cbenper nutter Production.

The cost of butter, and indeed of all
dairy products, is dependent mainly on
the character of the herd. The same
feed given to the best cows will make
twice as much milk and butter as it will
with ordinary scrub animals. The
farmer cannot make the price of butter
higher. But he owes it to himself and
family to get the very best cows that he
can buy so as to make the cost of pro-
ducing butter less. OF course these
better cows must be better cared for
and better fed than are the cows he
has been used IL keeping. But when a
farmer makes the right beginning by
purchasing the best cows all the other
requirements for successful dairying
will follow naturally in their course.

business and in the condition of the
wage-workers of the country since the
time when republican legislation began
to go into active operation is a stagger-
ing blow to the political gamblers who
have been counting on the continuance,
of the calamity conditions to give them
the victory in 1900.
In the face of this striking improve
ment in the condition of the farmers,
laborers and the rest of the wage
workers of the country it will be vain
for the Bryanites to appeal next year
to the people to forget the past and
give them the control of the business
and destinies of the country. The drop
in the price of wheat and all other farm
products which Bryan predicted in 1896
would occur if Mckinley was elected
has not taken place, but a great adj
vance has been scored instead. Wages
Of labor have not fallen off, though he
declared they would, but have been adj
vanced in nearly every field of industry.
The currency of the country has not
decreased, for here Bryan's predictions
have been proven to be as false as in
other matters. The currency in circua-
ton is at much higher mark per cap
tia now than it was when he was MAX
ing his raid against the country's pros
perity two and a half years ago. In
every direction in 1900 the democrats
will be COMPOUNDED and overwhelmed

of industry throughout the country
