AS HE is ENTHRONED.

America is breathing it day after day
and the effect is being felt more and
more.
The people are becoming aroused,
and they are just as sure to overthrow
the tables OF the money-changers as
the sun Is to set. The capitalists own
a majority of the press and pulpit OF
the country, but the people will no
longer consent to be led by false gods.
The man who continues to vote for
mortgages and bonds is voting for the
worst form of despotism. No matter
what you call 1t, no matter how much
you kiss the hand that smites, the man
who does not vote against and de-
nounce the monstrous crime, is trait
or to his country and his family.
We have been approaching nearer
present the crash seems inevitable.
Abraham Lincoln, Palmer, Chase, JEFF
ferson, with others, have warned us gu.
of the past. Of those who are warning
US in the present it is not necessary to
speak; they are many. The Industrial
classes are awakening out of their
lethargy, and victory is as sure to
perch upon their banner as the sun is
time, though it may be through a
long and bloody STRUGGLED. w. Kun

The Fault OF Overlooking.

One OF the causes assigned by those
who feed several times a day is that
the birds are always hungry, and i'm
mediately run to the attendant for
more as soon as he puts in an appear
ance, says Poultry Keeper. This is a
habit on the part of the fowls. They
are not at all hungry on such occa-
sions, but have learned to look to
their owner for everything they re-
ceive, consequently they will always
run to him when he appears. Such
hens seldom lay as many eggs as they
should, are usually very fat, and cost
more for feed than they deserve. The
way to treat them is to scatter a table
spoonful of millet seed for them to
scratch. The seeds being small, and
being delicacies to all fowls. will be
highly relished, and the hens will
work industriously for them, thus TAX
ing exercise as we'll as keeping them
selves in better laying condition. The
greatest inducement to overlooking is
to find the hens hungry, but it is best
not to be deceived by appearance.

A breeder of Jersey cattle told us
this week that, notwithstanding the
bad reputation which Jersey bulls
have, they will never become ugly I'M
less they are unkindly treated, says
an exchange. We are inclined to take
issue with this statement. While 1t Is
no doubt true that Feasibility and ug-
illness of temper are often provoked
by improper usage and treatment, we
still believe that these periodical and
unlocked for outbreaks of temper on
the part of the bull, whether Jersey
or any other breed, are natural out
growth Of the peculiar instincts OF the
animal and not to be absolutely pre-
vented by kind treatment. The bull In
his native wllds is fighter from his
youth up and only holds his position
at the head Of his herd by virtue Of his
superior fighting ability. When dis
placed by a younger and stronger RI
val or when whipped out in contest
for leadership, such bulls will always
wander off by themselves and when
lucL are always u6iy anu AO@uy w
fight. In the old buffalo days we have
frequently seen these outcasts of the
herd by themselves, and it was always
best to let them alone unless one
wanted a scrap. Our own experience
with these animals justifies us in the
statement that plenty of good hard
work for the bull is the best possible
preventive for this disposition on his
part to be ugly. Most bulls are either
pampered too much or are isolated and
deprived of needed exercise and so de-
velop this ugly streak, when II they
had lots of hard work to do they would
be better natured and far more SER
viceable in the herd. The bull and
the tread power were made for each
other and should be set to work on
every farm where bull is kept. This
is a matter of no little Importance,
two people being killed in one week
the last of November within short
distance of where the writer lives by
these good natured beasts.

by Mr.. F. ]. Lloyd, who analysed
thirty-three samples Of milk from the

not discover the tubercle bacillus in

took measures for cultivating the ba-

of milk in that way, but without de-

of them.

REPUBLICAN VIEW OF M'KINLEY

Ohio and when Walker went to smash

this, although he was worth only $10,-

such business methods. They know
how McKinley's debts were paid, and
by whom. Here it is in brief: Chief
contributors to pay McKlnley's debts
Marcus A. Hanna, H. H. Kohlsaat, My

Kinley's campaign-Marcus A. Hanna,

Mckinley is spoken of as "the mort
gagged candidate" acknowledged not only
in untold promises of federal patron
age, but mortgaged in other ways, and
by every tie of business and friendship
to his three managers and syndicators,
Hanna, Kohlsaat and Herrick and 9TH

A report by Professor Wortley Axe
ON the results of the inquiry promoted
by the British Dairy Farmers Associa-
ton into the prevalence Of tuberculosis
among dairy cattle appears in the jour-
nal of the Association recently issued.
Nine herds were selected for testing,
the number of animals in each, in
Guiding bulls, ranging from seventeen
to ninety -four. In two herds, con-
tanning respectively seventeen and
forty-one animals, none of the ami
mails reacted, and in one containing
eighty-three the reactions reached only
3.6 per cent; but in the other herds
the percentages OF reactions were re-
npectively 20, 1913, 43.4, TIA, 1853 and
SO.4. The herds which gave no reac-
lions were bred on their farms, and
the animals lead an outdoor life all
the year round, being in the pastures
or yards by night as well as by day

extent in sheds, and Professor Axe lays

T., the Rutter Exhibition Room.

At one of the recent western GARY
conventions the air of the room In
which the exhibit butter was scored
smelled so strongly of pine that II
was difficult to catch the delicate flavor
of the butter, says a writer in New
York Produce Review. 1t had been
raining for two or three days, and In
order to prevent the tracking of mud
into the butter room the officers in
charge of the exhibit had scattered
coarse pine sawdust and chips on the
floor. The pungent odor of the pine
filled the room. 1t was perhaps a
thoughtless mistake, but under no cir
cumstance should anything be allowed
In the butter room that has foreign
flavor. The floor should be thorough
ly cleaned the ventilation should be
good before the butter is exhibited, and
the Judge should be supplied with
plenty of paper with which to clean
his trier rather than to use sawdust
for that purpose.

Bulletin 100, Department Of Agricul-
ture: For winter and early spring
there Is no better crop than artichokes.
which give a rich. fresh feed just at
the time when grasses and clovers are
at their poorest. There are few crops
which can be more easily grown on any
fairly good soil which will give a
greater amount of green feed per acre
| and be more valuable for both grow
ing and fattening animals. They
should be planted in drills like Irish
potatoes, the seed being cut in the
same manner, and about the same
amount being used per acre. Two Gull
tivations will usually be sufficient to
keep the ground mellow and free from
weeds until the plants are so tall as
to shade the ground, after which no
further working Is needed. The tubers
do not form until late in the season,
and In this latitude are rarely matured
before the LIST of December. Even then
they are not relished as well as they
are later, and as they keep well in the
ground until late in the spring, 1t Is
usually better to save them for Janu-
airy and February grazing. after the
sweet potatoes, peanuts, and other
crops are gone. Although the arti-
chokes will make volunteer growth
from the scattering tubers left in the
ground, such crop can not be Guilt
waited, and will be so choked by weeds
and dwarfed by the hard ground that
the yield will be small. 1t pays well
to pillow and replant the crop each sea-
son, even though it is planted on tie
same ground. Many object to arti-
chokes for fear they will become a
troublesome weed, but there is no dan
ger from that source. II the young
plants are plowed or even hoed OIL
we'll in midsummer after the old tubers
are exhausted and before the new ones
are formed, they will be killed. The
yield is variable-from 400 to 300
bushels per acre-and its feeding value
is fully equal to that of other root
crops. In some recent tests at the
Oregon station hogs which were given
the run Of an artichoke field, and were
also given partial feed of grain, made
a gain of l pound in weight for each
81 pounds of grain fed, while it usual
ly takes about pounds of grain to
make pound of gain. In tests made
at the Missouri Agricultural College
bushel of artichokes and bushels OF
corn were found superior to bushels
of corn, and other tests have given
similar results. The inexpensive gain
in weight is not the only advantage in
using artichokes, as the better health
consequent on adding to the ration this
fresh and succulent feed is matter
of great Importance, especially in ami
mails which are kept for breeding The
best soil for the crop is similar to
that which is best for Irish potatoes.
1t should be rich, mellow, and we'll
drained On dry, hard clay the yield
is always small.

The opponents of public ownership
raise the objection that public owner
ship would furnish large opportunity
for political corruption. There is a
measure Of truth in this claim-under
our present system of government by
party. The objection would disappear
with political parties, and political
parties would disappear with the adop-
ton of direct legislation.
Government by Injunction has
reached the point where a man has
secured an injunction to prevent his
daughter from getting married and
street railway company has secured an
injunction to prevent any person from
bringing suit against it. Let the
system run its length. The more ridic-
ulous the extremes reached the soon
er will it be done away with entirely.
There is going to be the usual effort
in the present congress to increase the
rates of postage on periodicals. The
people should keep in mind the fact
that present rates would pay all ex-
penses and yield large revenue if
it were not for the fraudulent contracts
with the railroad companies. The
proposition is simply another plan to
tax the people for the benefit Of the
railroads.
The settlement Of any social or eco

knowledge Of all the conditions of that

Bone and Meat for Eggs.-There is
no kind of food that will answer so
we'll as bones unless it is free from
fat or starch. If the flock is confined,
food must be provided, and then pro-
portion of grain may be allowed; but
If the hens are on range they should
be given no food. There is one kind
of food that will make hens lay, and
that is lean meat. And 1t may be
allowed that those who use bone-cut-
tiers, and can secure fresh bone from
the butchers, can provide the cheapest
and best food that can be given. A
pound day for a dozen hens is
ample. 1t costs but small sum for a
cutter, compared with the saving OF
food, and though operating a bone
cutter demands labor Gas bone is not
easily reduced), the gain is more than
the expenditure. Meat stands first of
all producing foods, and is the
cheapest in proportion to results OBJ
tained.-EX.

Oats for Feeding.

Oats for feeding should have an
agreeable smell, clean, smooth and
bright appearance, and pleasant taste;
should feel dry, hard and elastic to the
touch when broken between the
teeth, and should be fairly well sup
piled with flour, says National Stock
man. The fact that they fulfill these
conditions will show that they have
been well saved are sufficiently old,
possess due amount of nutriment,
and have not suffered from injurious
influences, such as damp and mould,
as would be evident if they were musty
in smell and dull in color. The pres
ence of dust in oats proves that they
have been badly saved, and that their
quality has undergone more or less de-
terioration. A shriveled-up condition
is also a sign of inferiority. With a
plump variety of oats, if the grains
feel heavy in the hand, rattle more or
bound when they fall on wood or other
hard objects, and show no tendency
to stick together, our good opinion Of
their nutritive value and sound condi-
ton will be still further confirmed.
The plumper, more rounded, and heav-
Ter oats are, the higher will be their
market value. Thinness of husk will
also enhance the price as a rule. The
cost of white oats, probably on account
of their cleaner and more pleasing APP
pearance, is higher than that of either
black or tawny oats. Old oats are sold
at about Is per cent more than new
oats. The term "old" is applied 20 oats

1t was pleasant to have an opportun-
lty of a sunshiny day in June OF see
ing and Of tasting these specimens for
myself, says a writer in the Critic. The
Blackmore fruit garden stretches down
a sunny slope toward the river and was
as is the fashion in English gardens,
carefully protected or the colder or
windier sides by a a of brick walls.
Against these walls were trained the
peaches, nectarines, plums and pears.
The greater portion of the garden space
was given to grapes, of which there
were many varieties. The old gentle
man walked with me from bed to bed,
giving the history of each planting
and some record of the results secured.
I was surprised to learn hat notwith-
standing his own personal and evident
ly intelligent care, care which ought to
have secured the largest results for the
smallest outlay, and Notwithstanding
also the fact that in Covent Garden
market, only thirty miles away, the
buyers of fine fruit were ready to pay,
and did pay, higher prices than were
paid anywhere else in Europe, Mr..
Blackmore's fruit farming was, in not
a few years. run at a loss. He ex-
planned to me that he found it neces-
sary from time to time to apply the
receipts from his novels to make up
the deficiencies on his grapes. The
principal difficulty, as far as | could I'M
derstand the matter in the brief word
for which there was time, was caused
by the competition of the fruit from
Normandy and from Belgium, and by
the illiberal management of the single
line of railroad by which his W ship.
