Honest American Manhood.

According to the Washington cores
pondent of the Detroit Journal, Con-
gresham Joseph w. Fordney of this
district, or Honest Joe Fordney, as he
has been known for years among his
business associates in Saginaw, has
convinced more than one Washington
congressman and at least one New
York lawyer that he has in him the
sturdy, honest. American manhood
which resents all charges of wholesale
corruption or dishonesty among the
American people OF their representa-.
tives. 1t should be matter of pride to
the eighth congressional district that
they have in congress to represent them
not only clear headed business man,
keenly alive to their interests, but a
man who is of such sterling integrity,
firm back bone. and true Americanism,
that he not only refuses to believe his
associates are anything different until
they are clearly proven so, but also re-
sents any such general accusations and
unwarranted abuse. But the Journals
correspondent gets quite straight at the
point and makes good story of it. 1t
s here given:
''The remarks that Congressman
Fordney, of Saginaw, made to the adj
vocate of the New York Reform club in
the committee on merchant marine and
fisheries, have stirred up a lot of COM
ment Dewitt Warner, the attorney
for the New York Reform club, was
before the committee, and had been
abusing the authors of the Payne
Hanna ship bill, making hints as to the
reasons some congressman had. for
voting for the bill and openly accusing
members of being boodlers.
Fordney stood the accusation as long
as he could and then he called Warner
down. He said he did not think it right
for the lawyer to make such remarks
when there was no evidence of its truth,
and warming to his subject, said that
mo one but thief himself or liar
would thus accuse members of congress
of being boodlers and thieves
Warner was struck dumb by Ford
ney's force and apparent willingness to
take the matter further, but Chairman
Grosvenor stopped proceedings bv or
dering Warner to stop talking and leave
the room. Warner told Philadelphia

and Fordney has seen that statement.

Dehorninr Cattle.

If the horns have been allowed to
develop cattle are dehorned by using
the saw or dehorning clippers. II
either case the horn is removed by
cutting it off as close to the head as
possible without iniuring the bones
of the head. The best plan is to kill
the. horn button in the young cali
when a few days old by applying
caustic potash. Cut the hair from
the horn button, take stick of caus-
tic potash, wrap it in paper, leaving
one end exposed, moisten this exposed
end, rub over the horn button until it
nas an infamed appearance. Do not
let the caustic come in contact with
;he fingers or with the skin of the an
!mal After two or three weeks, il
the horn gives any indication of grow
ing again, repeat the operation. AS
a rule, however, one application is
sufficient. Dehorning is of great adj
vantage in that the cattle are pre-
vented from iniuring one another, they
stand more quietly in the shed aud
greater number of them can be shell,
cred. Much less room is required at
the feed trough and the animals are
more easily handled. They can be
treated as SO many sheep. !

for the courage of boy who sprang

The spectators admired the boys
promptness and kindness of heart,
but commented on his recklessness,
which, they said, might have cost
him his life.
This boy was Garibaldi, and in con-
sidering his life one finds that these
were his characteristics all through.
He was so alert that no one could

Making Hens Lay i'm Winter.

There are many reasons why hens
do not lay in winter, but ell are
summed up in the cold and darkness
and lack of exercise which it induces.
This causes all sorts of troubles. The
fowls in cold, stormy weather remain
on the roosts until noon. Then they
get mp and fill themselves with food
and then go back to the roosts again.
II the henhouse is dark, either from
snow outside or from lack Of windows,
the fowls Wilt stay on their roosts
most of the time, and if fed well with
corn will fatter rather than begin lay
ing. Make the henhouse as light as
possible. Provide double windows so
that they Will not be steamed up with
ice from the birds breath. These
double windows will also make the
henhouse much warmer, as the space
of air between them is one of the best
non conductors of heat. Then feed
mainly with wheat, giving little corr
except in the very coolest weather,
and fowls will lay some eggs at the
time when eggs are always the dear
