Renovate the Poultry House.-Poul-
try houses should be thoroughly reno
waited once, better twice a year. If
you wish, brighten the walls By a
tho10lgh application of good hot
whitewash to which little carbolic
acid has been added. If you don't like
whitewash, use some good wood preser-
vative, and paint the whole interior
of the house with it. If you have
earthen or sand floors, which are the
best, dig them up and cart of the up
per four inches of dirt. and replace
with new fresh earth or sand.-Ex.

Foreign Beet Sugar in India.-Ac-
cording TO official statistics the value
of the beet sugar imported into India
during 1898 was $2O,OOO,OOO. This SUI
gar came principally from Germany,
France, Holland and Belgium. Re-
ports from Calcutta state that there is
growing agitation against the i'm
portation of foreign beet sugar. 1t is
feared that the home market will be
destroyed and that many Of the ma
tive population engaged in the cane
sugar industry will be thrown out of
employment. The Hindus are trying
to bring religious fanaticism to their
aid by claiming that the foreign sugar
is manufactured by "unholy" heathens.

Locating the Barnyard.-Speaxing
of barns and stabling, here is hint
for those who are locating them anew
Arrange your barn yard so that it will
not be necessary to go through it in
passing from the house to the barn
Let the barn or stable be between the
house and the barn yard. OF course,
where it can be conveniently arranged,
it is usually preferred that the yard be
on the south or the east side of the
barn, but it may be better on the
north, II necessary, rather than where
one is obliged to pass through it in
going to and fro so many times as Is
required during winter. A well shell
tered yard can be arranged almost
anywhere by means of a tight board
fence or sheds; or wind break of
evergreens could well be planted so as
to protect it from severe west or north
winds.-Hoard's Dairyman.

Using Manure as Made.--If farmer
wants to get the most out of his ma
nure supply with the least work, the
best plan we know of is to haul out
manure as it is made, directly from
tho stable to the field. 1t may go onto
the thin points in the wheat field or
on the sod land that is to be turned
for corn next spring. There is very
little wasted by this practice, and there
is only one handling of the manure.
Sometimes when the manure is spread
on frozen ground, and heavy rains
come before it is thawed out, there is
some waste by surface water, but with
due care in this matter, by spreading
manure in level places in the field
while frost is in the ground, there
can't be much waste.-W. w. Stevens

when Drains Are Appreciated.

This spring Of all others good drain
age is appreciated. With the ground
soaked with water and hard with frost
till late into April, the question OF
quick drainage Is important, as well
as the capacity Of the land to warm
up rapidly. While 1t is doubtless true
that drained land freezes deeper than
undrained land, yet it is also true that
such land dries out quicker and be-
comes warm sooner than undrained
lands. On many thousands OF I'M
drained fields in the West the farmers
will yet have to wait for some time be-
fore they can get onto it to do blowing
or other kinds of farm work. These
days of waiting are of immense con-
sequence to the coming crops. A late
ness of two or three weeks often means
the loss of large part of the crop.
The men with well drained fields will
be able to get their crops into the
ground quite early, even this season
In the case of gardens the green STUFF
will be coming along weeks before
that of their neighbors. Where this is
to find market in the towns or cities
it will catch the best market. We be-
lieve that the experience of this year
will greatly stimulate the work OF
placing proper systems Of drainage on
the farms.
What we have said Of the garden is
true in a lesser sense of the large fields
and pastures. In England the wheat
fields are tile drained, and 1t is re-
ported that the increase in the yield OF
wheat has been sufficient to pay the
cost of drainage in a few years. Many
low pieces of land, now annually over
flowed and productive Of only tne
coarser grasses, might, If properly
| treated, become the most productive Oh
meadows, growing the finest kinds OF
plant food for stock. In the pasture
the drain is an increaser of the SOD.
1t is very necessary that the pasture
land become dry and warm at very
early date in the spring, so that the
grass will get a good start before the
stock are turned onto it. Good drain
age will often greatly increase the
start the grass gets of the cattle, and
this increase is kept throughout the
summer, more so on this kind of land
than on land left in its natural state
On the cold, wet pastures this spring
the grass will be very slow in start
ing. The stock will go on while the
sod is still thin, and the feet Of the
animals will pound much Of it into
mud, thus destroying the sod for years
to come. Water makes this possible.
Dry soil resists the foot, and the sod
is saved Money judic!ously invested
in tile and labor for drainage is well
placed and will return annual interest
at a good per cent.

Higher Prices for Beef

Conditions in the West have been
severe for ranch stock on account OF
the hard winter, says the National
Provisioner. Even cattle which had
entered the winter in pretty good con"
dition have shivered much Of that OH
during the sharp, cold snap which
choked the ranges with snow and
made heavier feeding necessary. The
high price Of corn and other barn
feeds has made stock owners chary
about converting this expensive fo'-i
into meat at the present price OF botn
meat and grain in the market Inc
immediate result is that special cattle
are high, while the general run OF
herds is not as fine as slaughterers
would desire. The final effect will
be either a poorer grade Of carcass
beef upon the market or such rise in
the price of hoof cattle as will justify
feeders In putting expensive corn into
beef stock. AS packers are not dis
posed to market an inferior grade Of
carcass stuff we anticipate substan-
tial rise in the price of hoof and car
cass beef, which will not be much dis
turbed by grassers, for two reasons:
First, there are not in existence very
large herds of grassers. Second,
the class of beef now demanded by
the general consuming public is of a
better grade than that once known as
Texas grassers and Colorados. The
last season for their arrival found
them practically extinct in the Eastern
market, where it was their wont to
come. There are fewer now of this
class Of beef stock. Under all the
conditions of higher food, and the
general shortage in cattle beef, good
beef must go higher.

A Good Omen

Yesterday a big tat yellow legged
chicken flew into the Methodist
church over the door transon and
finding 2 perch, made her pulleiship
at home during the day. This is
thought to be a good omen and
knowing ones say that Rev. Tim
mons will certainly live on yellow
legged chickens" during his pastor
ate year here. without wishing
the pullet in question any harm, we
hope the omen will prove true and
that the good preacher will have
his table well supplied, not only
with chicken, but other good
things to eat.

70 FIGHT THE TRUSTS
And Thereby Dill the Cold
Standard.
PLAN OF THE CAMPAIGN.
Suggested by Judge s. P, Mcconnell,
Of Illinois.

Chicago, Dec. 3l.-Ex-Judge S.
p. Mcconnell, one Of Illinois dele
gates at large to the National Dem
ocratic Convention in 1896, deliy-
cred an address before the Month
cello Club which caused a good deal
of talk among local Democrats,
particularly in view of the fact.
that he has been a close political
associate Of ex-Goy. John p.
Altgeld. The speaker began by
quoting these declarations Of the
club:
1--WE oppose all trusts and mo-
nopolies in order that wealth may
not gain undue advantage and that
competition shall be free and un-
restrained among the people.
we oppose thesingle gold stand
ard aud favor the restoration Of
blmetalism, regardless of the action
or desire of any other nation"
He said in part: ''These two
declarations, in my judgment, are
expressive of the great mission of
the Democratic party. l am in
clined, however, to believe that the
first includes the second, and that
the war against monopolies and
trusts means war against the single
gold standard, it the contest, is to
be waged intelligently and efec-
lively. ! am certain, too, that the
first declaration requires and means
hostility to protective tariff laws,
In fact, under the encouragement
and aid of these laws, the first
trusts and combinations encroach-
ing upon free competition came in
to existence. Even after all that
has been said against cominatlons,
trusts and monopolies, l am far
from convinced that the body OF
the people adequately appreciate
the great peril to their worldly
welfare sprlngiug from these vast
aggregations of capital, which are
gradually absorbing and controlling
the industrial activities of the
country.
Thousands who voted for Nc
Kinley in 1896 are ready to join us
in the campaign to be waged
against trusts, combinations and
monosolies. They only need evil
dence that we will fight effectively.
There is but one plank in the
form OF 1896 which prevents these
thousands being openly and aggres-
siyely with us. They do not believe
IN the reconciliation of silver at
the ratio Of 16 to l of gold They
regard it as even less defensible
now than two years ago.
