white aad coloredl citizen rushed to the
platform and assured the speaker that
his was the best speech of the cam.
paign. Halt the audience was white
and they all remained to the end.
The greatest of all the meetings was
at ParRersbusg. The white rough rid.
ers constituted Mr.. Dancy's escort at
this place, bOnfires and fire works being
carried by these axdent republicans,
headed by fine brass band. The streets
were crow wded with spectators filed with

the city with seating capacity Of 5000
At least 2.o00 were present at the meet
ing and 1t was declared by the chair
man that 1t was larger crowd than
that which turned cut to hear the great
Senator Foraker. The Speech Of Mr..
Daney was 90 eloquent and so effective
and convincing that the chairman Of
the State Committee who was present
insisted that Mr.. Dancy remain In the
State II POSSIBLE another week and II
not that he vsuld be asked to be re-
turned to the State. The general con.
clusion was that more effective and
convincing speech had not been made
by any one during the entire campaign.

Deborah Sampson, who enlisted In
the Continental Army as Robert Snurt-
left, was one of the most dashing and
brave of fighters for the cause of lib
erty. She enlisted en- q Massachusetts
regiment and served three years before
1t was known that the brave soldier
was woman. "She was taken Ill in
Philadelphia," says writer in the July
Ladies Home Journal, land the hos.
pital nurse had pronounced her dead,
but slight gurgling attracted the doc
tors attention; he placed his hand over
her heart, and, finding to his surprise
an inner waisscoat tightly COMPRISING
her breast, ripped 1t open. She was i'm.
mediately removed to the matron's
apartments, where everything was done
for her comfort. The commanding
officer upon learning that his aid was
a woman granted her an honorable dis.
charge, and presented her with letter
from Washington commencing her
services. The humble soldier stood be-
fore him with shining eyes filled with
tears and thanked him many times,
begging him that her fellow soldiers be
told, and that he ask them to tell him
If she had done aught that was unbe-
coming woman. This was done and
her comrades and officers declared their
respect for her was unbounded. Upon
her honorable discharge from the army
she returned to her mothers home,
striving to escape the calumny which
followed her singular career. After
General Washington became President
he wrote most cordial letter to Mrs.
Gannet Deborah Sampson-she having
married in the meantime), inviting
Rob ert Shurtleff' to visit him. She &C.
cepted and was treated with the great
est honors by the president and resi-
dents of Washington.

Country Papers influence

If the country papers are all right 1t
makes very little difference what the
city papers think. 1t is the weekly and
not the daily newspapers that form
public opinion in this country. We
will take Nebraska as an illustration.
We have only three dailies in general
circulation in Nebraska, Their COM
bined issues amount to 10000 copies.
We have 600 weeklies with combined
circulation of 100000 copies. The
dailies go to the cities and towns, while
the weeklies go to every home in the
state. The dailies are scanned, while
the weeklies are read from the leading
editorial to the last advertisement. The
busy merchant takes up his daily paper,
reads the scare heads and then throws
it down to sell customer pound of
nails or q plug of tobacco. The farmer
or mechanic takes his paper home and
after the evening lamp is lighted the
whole family study the paper as if it
were q school book. The result is that
the country boy of .1S knows more
about politics, science, history and
literature than the average city man Of
middle age, and the country girl has
more general, useful information than
her city sister will ever have If she lives
to the age Of Methuselah. h.-Omahs

Goats For Dairyn,en,

The usefulness of the goat in clear.
ing foul lands and the profitableness
of the animal for its hair, skin and
even carcass, is becoming pretty wellu
derstood. But the goat is valuable as q
dairy animal. If the cows, for instance,
are being used for supplying q city
milk trade, the keeping of goats for
the home milk supply would be an ex-
cellent policy. The goat will live
where COW would starve; and while
it, like every other domestic animal,
will do best on good pasture, it will live
and yitll milk on astonishingly little
food. The animal and its milk are
almost entirely exempt from disease;
the milk Ia more nutritious than that
of the COW and agrees with stomachs
that cows milk frequently offends.
The animal requires only the cheapest
kind Of shelter but 1t needs shsltsz

Water Trough.

Speaking of watering facilities on q
certain Minnesota dairy farm, writer
says; "We have all seen the common
mistake of placing the watering tank
in a corner of the yard where the COWS
have chance to crowd one another. 1
remember seeing a herd of 30 COWS come
home from the pasture to drink out of
tank 12 feet long, placed in this posi-
ton. Some of the strongest COWS and
one or two of the most forward heifers
crowded up to drink. The heifers
being shorter than the COWS, were
wedged in so that it was impossible for
them to back out. Their only means
of escape was to push ahead and get
into the tank with their fore feet. In
place Of this kind cows heavy with
calf are likely to get hurt. This water
tank, which was supposed to hold fresh
clean drinking water for thirty we'll
bred dairy COWS, was, aside from its un.
favorable location, frequently visited
by some large hogs that were in the
yard. Theodore Lewis says the hog is
one of the cleanest of farm animals.
Allow me to indorse this by saying that
the hogs had reference to considered
the fresh water drawn for the COWS
none too good for them to take bath
in after they had been rolling in the
mud. The proprietor of this dairy
farm frequently complained that the
COWS would not drink enough water;
but he could not be convinced that the
hogs were partly to blame. The water
tank should he kept clean enough 30
that we would not hesitate to drink out
of it ourselves. 1t is nothing uncom-
mon in the prairie districts to see the
water tank placed 80 that thee COWS have
to face q sweeping wind while they are
drinking. The water is also frequently
reduced to near the freezing point by
the ice left In the tank. Under these
conditions there are days when the
COWS fail to drink, and as the food con
sumed is in proportion to the water
that is taken, we lose in two ways.
When the thirst forces the COWS to
drink this ice water, they will take too
much of 1t at once. 1t chills theiH
whole system and checks the process of
digestion until the water is heated to
the temperature Of the body"

Gram and Salt.

Where farm animals are not h3rd
worked and where they can masticate
their feed quite satisfactorily without
grinding Professor Henry of Wisconsin
believes that it is generally economical
to feed grain whole, allowing the stock
to do its own grinding. On the other
hand, where animals are hard worked
they should be assisted in regard to the
feeds they receive in every way posi-.
BILE by the stockmsn. A good dairy
COW when giving full flow of milk is
an exceedingly hard worked animal
and should not be called upon to use
much of her energies in masticating
and especially in digesting the food she
is allowed. Every thing which can be
reasonably done should be performed
for her comfort and convenience. For
such COWS it is usually better to grind
the grain, including both corn and oats.
Heifers and cows nearly dry should not
receive such concentrates, and such
animals can often be given unground
corn and oats advantageously. Thus it
will be seen that there is no fixed rule
in these matters. One must be guided
in all cases by the prevailing condi-
tions. In general let it be said that if
hardworking animals are receiving
much grain the grain should be ground,
while for those receiving little grain or
that are not worked hard the grain
need hardly be ground unless it is un.
satisfactory becauseit is hard or for
some other reason. Of course where
the grain is not ground shotes should
be on hand to get what they can from
the weddings.
Dairymen should see that their cans
are we'll provided with salt. Peter
Stebens thus tells The Breeders Ga
zette about his ingenious method: ~
make box just about the shape of q
writing desk with hole the shape of
q half moon just under the cover where
the keyhole ought to be. l set it about
six inches off the ground and nail 1t Sc.
curely to a fence post. 1 put it close to
the ground to keep some animal from
getting his head under it and lifting it
up. Now fill the box with salt. Cattle
are curious. They will examine the
box and smell the salt thro ugh the
half moon hole, poke their noses in and
lift the lid: This is the only way to
keep the rain from melting the salt and
keep the cattle from wasting the salt.

from the storms and in winter. If BY
reason of drought, soiling 10 necessary,
leaves, vegetable refuse, peelings of the
apple or potato, sweet and clean, will
be all the feed that is needed. All
goats, however, will not eat the same
food, and the feeder will have to study
the appetites of the individual animal.
Frequent feeding andIa variety of food
in winter will be found beneficial.
Roots, oil meal, oats, corn (of the latter
in the whole state, the goat is very
fond) are proper feed, especially for the
milking goat. Rock salt is greatly
relished. The flavor of goats milk
cannot be distinguished from that of
cows milk, if it Is properly cared for.
From three to four pints day is the
average yield Of good mixer. The
milk is 80 rich and of such character
that in making pastry it will take the
place Of eggs.-Agricultural Epitomist.

Notifies in Butter,

A study Of the cause of notifies In
butter made by Charles F. Doane Of
the Md. exper. sta. does not indicate any
new causes which have not been prev
iously recognized by scientific and ex-
perienced dairymen and butter makers,
but seem to make moro certain the feet
that the uneven distribution of salt is
the chief cause. Serious doubt is
thrown upon the general belief that
cold wash water is especially responsi.
BILE for the effect. To test the effect of
uneven sailing, the butter from each of
20 Cummings was divided into two lots
after washing and one lot was salted.
None of the unsalted butter was mott
led, while that salted and underworked
was all more or less mottled. Simply
tasting the light and deep-colored por.
tions showed great difference in the
distribution of salt.
AS to the part played by cold wash
ing water, it was shown that more
working was required, and when given
there were no mottles. The reason why
butter washed with very cold water 10
likely to be mottled was attributed to
the fact that, being much harder, 1t is
more difficult to handle and consequent.
ly in the same time does not get the
same amount of working as softer but
ter would. When worked as long
as four minutes and washed with
water at so degrees, none of the butter
was mottled, although three minutes
of working was not enough. The differ
ence in time required to work hard
and soft butter is greater in the COM
bined churn than in the table worker.
When sufficiently worked to insure an
even distribution of salt, the best grain
was obtained with butter washed in
water at 40 degrees and worked imme-
Jiately. Orange Judd Farmer.
