Even Massachusetts, the Hot-Bed Of

Great Republican Majority Local L.

In any fair comment upon the gen
eral result of the elections clear and
sharp distinction must be drawn be-
tween the States In which national po-
lltical issues were really involved and
the States which confined their several
contests to purely local questions or to
general questions having no partisan
political Significance.
1t Is not easy to oyerestimate the i'm
portance Of the outcome of the extra

Goebel, was defeated, and William 8.
Taylor Is elected Governor. There was
but one issue in Kentucky-honesty in
nominations and elections, freedom Of
suffrage and independence of the voter.
GOebers candidacy was secured by
force, fraud and defiant disregard of all
political decency. His election law,
passed by subservient legislature,
had been condemned by the soundest
Democrats as menace to free institu-
tons. The revolt against him mani
tested itself early and grew steadily in
intensity and extent. Bryan was sum-
moned to his aid, and the ideal of the
regular" Democrats tried to divert
the attention of the anti-Goebel forces
from the actual issues before them to
unreal and irrelevant questions in
which they were not interested. He

Gathering Cow Pens.

Ny method of gathering them Is a
long way ahead of the common way Of
hand picking. Take a heavy chain and
fasten on No. 20 Oliver chilled pillow,
or any other heavy plow, in same man
ner as you would If wishing to turn
under n tall growth. Buckle hip straps
on harness so short as to hold plow out
of ground. Take wheel and jointer off
of plow: LEI row come between team
and plow, just skim enough surface to
cut pea stalks Off. The stalks will be
caught by the chain and dragged until
enough gathers to raise chain, then they
will drop out under chain and chain
will then gather another bunch in like
manner. Size Of punches will be regu-
lated by weight of chain. If gathered
in this way early in the morning while
they are tough none will shatter. This
fix is superior to any patented pea har-
vester have yet seen. l gathered my
last years crop In this manner with
great success.-P. b. Meyer.

Fighting HOE Cholera. q

z If the hog cholera should break out
on our farm, then all the pigs that have
been exposed to 1t should be confined In
small lots 50 as not to spread the dis
ease on the farm. The pig that has the
cholera should be confined in a pen to
itself, and IL should be sprayed three or
four times each day with chloro-naph-
tholeum, twenty parts water to one Of
the chloro, and the floor Of the npen
should be white with Stacked lime. and
II the pig dies, II 1t can be done, haul
some logs and wood and burn 1t In the
pen where 1t died, but If not, be sure
that every cholera germ is killed on the
way from the pen to the place where
the pig is burned. BY using such vigor-
GUS measures we have succeeded in
stamping the cholera out several times
on our farin.-James Riley, in Farniers'

VIII Have to Try Again.

Henry w. Lamb, president of the
New England Free Trade League,
makes this assertion: American pro-
ducers for years have proved their
ability, IL freed from tariff restrictions,
to compete with foreigners" When
Lamb speaks Of tariff restrictions" he
means the system Of protection. Let
MS, therefore, see how the facts bear
out the contention. In 1892, under the
Mckinley law, our exports amounted
to $1,000, 2T5, 14S. Then the Democrats
came into power and passed the Wilson
law, and under its operation our ex-
ports took big drop, ranging from
$SO7, 100000 to $3.50, OOO,O 900 annually.
Then the Republicans came in again
and passed the Dingley law, under
which our exports rose to $1,000, $685.
500 in 1897 and to 81, 231 ,4S2 ,23O in 1898.
Mr.. Lamb will have to try again If he
wants to convince the American people
that protection is not good for their in
dustries and their foreign trade.-Bur-

Animal Food for Young Turkeys.

Animal Food for Young Turkeys.
AS long as the supply of insect food
lasts the young turkeys will make rap
id growth. but as soon as you notice
the grass disappearing and insects less
abundant, begin feeding a small guam
tity of meat to the young turkeys at
night, so as to promote and continue
the growth. You should not aim to get
them very fat. What you should de-
sire is to secure as large frames and
bone as possible SO as to have some
where to crowd on the meat and fat
later on. Hence do not allow them to
cease growing, but push them until
ready for market, putting them up for
the purpose Of being fattened about ten
days before selling.-Exchanse.

l would advise farmers WHO live
where the spring is backward'to try

raising this variety of oats now for six
years and are in every way satisfied
with them. Sow them the same time
as wheat putting on two bushels to the
acre. They ripen earlier and are much
heavier than the spring variety. or
course one has TO pay more for winter
oats than the spring oats, yet when a
good start is secured they are invalu-
able to the farmer and are without
question the best oats to raise.-J. w.

Among the hardy breeds OF poultry
that thrive well in winter may be men
toned the Brahmas, Cochins, Plymouth
Rocks and wyandottes. Some breeds
may excel them as layers in summer,
but in the winter season they will prove
as profitable as any from the fact that
they are very heavily feathered and
