THE DOUGLAS SHOE.

The best advertised and consequent
iy the best known shoe In the world
today is undoubtedly made by the W.
l.. Douglas Shoe Co.. OF Brockton.
Mass. The one idea of this company
has always been to sell . shoe for
$3.50 which equals In every way the -
shoes OF any other concern. They are
able to do this on account OF there be-
Ing no middle mans pront. a. the
goods are sold direct from the factory
to the wearrr. In 60 OF the principal
cities Of the country they have their
own retail stores The goods are made
In all sizes and widths. and few shoes
equal them for style and durability.
The factory al Broekion employs
over i.ioo hands. and all labor rou-
bies arc settled by the state board OF
arbitration. Nothing but union labor
is employed. and pay about the best
average wages Of any shoe workers In
the United States. The factory pay
roll amounts to si7.t5s per week. This
company makes shoes for men only.
and Il is their proud boast that over
one million men wear thcm.-pcnss'

Permanent Paatnres.

The easiest way that we know of to
keep permanent pasture in good con
dition is to stock it hard enough so that
the grass will be eaten before it throws
up seed stock or becomes hard and
woody, and then give extra feed at the
barn so that the animals will return at
least as much fertility to the soil as the
grass takes from it. OF course manure
or fertilizer may be carried out, and
spread on the pasture, but that costs
money, and Eastern farmers are often
at a loss TO obtain fertilizing elements
enough for their moving lands and cul-
tivated fields. If they buy feed to use
in summer when cattle are in the pas
ture, they hope to and usually do get
enough in the way of growth, fat or
milk production to pay for ii, and look
upon the increased quantity and extra
quality of the manure heap as an extra
profit In this matter of overstocking
the pasture it is best done and produces
best results where there are two pas
lures, so that the animals can be
changed from one to the other about
once a week, or as often as the feed Is
eaten down smooth. This helps to pre-
vent them from gnawing so closely as
to destroy the roots, which they may do
in some favorite spot il they are kept
too lolg In one Standardization Gull

Growing Potatoes.


Potatoes will grow on great variety
of soils and produce excellent crops,
but the soil has much TO do with the
quality. A soil that is full of humus
will produce large tubers in abundance.
but they will lack the quality of those
that are grown in soil that has less
humus, but is rich in potash and other
minerals. The volcanic ash soils of the
Pacific slope grow some of the finest
potatoes In the world, both in size and
quality. The mineral elements produce
the splendid result. The application OF
stable manure to this crop is inadvisa-
BILE, for if the crop escape scab, as the
result, the quality of the tuber will
pretty surely be injured. The follow
ing mixture is an excellent potato fer
tilizer: Muriate of potash, 400 pounds;
nitrate of soda, $50 pounds: dried blood.
800 pounds; fine bone -four, 500 pounds;
plaster, 400 pounds; salt, 100 pounds.
This will contain about A per cent. OF
nitrogen. 715 per cent of phosphoric
acid and 10 per cent. of potash Soak
ing the seed in solution of corrosive
sublimate-dissolving two ounces Of
the sublimate in two gallons Of water,
and then adding thirteen gallons of wa
ter-will destroy scab germs, but it will
not protect the crop from scab if 1t is
grown in infected ground. Spraying
with Bordeaux mixture, first when the
vines are a foot high and then three or
four times afterward at intervals of ten
days, will practically prevent blight

The Democratic party is stronger to-
day than ever and it is growing strong
er through the maintenance of the prin-
ciples of the Chicago platform. In
deed, reaffirmation of the Chicago
platform is its vitality.
1t rescued the party from the grasp
of the plutocracy in 1896, and it will
rescue it again in 1900 if the test of a
reaffirmation of the Chicago platform
be rigidly insisted upon for every pub
lie man and newspaper. 1t is the only
test that can be safely applied to all
delegates to the national convention at
Kansas City, for it is they who will
nominate such candidates only who
We're actively and openly loyal to that
platform in 1896 and who have re-
NAMED loyal ever since.

Formula for Lice.

A most excellent lice-killer can be
made, says the Poultry Fanciers' Ga
zette, as follows: One pint of crude
carbolic acid, three pints of either ben
zine or naphtholine, or gasoline (there
is but little difference in them, some
being more volatile than others; then
one gallon of ordinary kerosene; mix
all well together, sprinkle or paint the
roosts, or shut the fowls in box and
sprinkle the bottom of the box well
with it. Bear in mind that it ia a very
dangerous substance to handle and
must only be used where there is no
possibility of any spark Of fire being IN
the place or near it, as the air viii NIL
with gas and in a close room would
explode. but carefully handled it Will
kill every insect in the house, also a
small amount used at time in close
room would not be dangerous. The
smell of this passes off in two or three
DAYS, and it does not faint the flesh OF
the fowls or eggs, and the danger lasts
for a few minutes only, as the gas soon
becomes so diluted with air that It
would net catch fire. The only safe way
Is to always use it in daylight.
