Typical Dairy Form.

An outline is herewith given-taken
from an illustration of a noted GEern-
sey cow-that shows almost the ideal
shape for a dairy COW. In breeding to
raise the herd year by year to higher
average of merit it will be well to keep
such an outline as this constantly in
ones mind. 1t is true that not every
COW with a perfect dairy form shows
herself to be Of exceptional dairy merit,
but the best dairy cows so uniformly
correspond to such external character
istics that one will make no mistake in
making the dairy form his ideal in
breeding. Not all cows with dairy
form" show excellence at the pail and
churn; but few, on the other hand,
show sucf excellence that do not show
these external characteristics. 1t Is the
only wise course, then, to breed for
them, and to regard the exceptions that
occur as proving the rule"
The distinguishing external marks
that characterize q good dairy COW
which are so excellently shown in this
outline-are wedge-shape for the body,
large in the barrel and rear quar-
ters, and light and thin in the fore
quarters; a large udder with large, we'll

killing Lice on Pigs.

To get rid Of Ice ON swine the first
thing to do is 10 clean the nest and burn
it, says the National Stockman. Then
mix together " agitating a pint Of
Kerosene. a half pint of softssoap and
two gallons of wslrm soft water. and
with an old scrub broom or spray pump
thoroughly clean the place where the
nest was and the sides. or use white
wash made from fresh-slacked lime.
Now We win 90 for the lice on the
swine. The best of all preparations for
this is some of the carbolic sheep dips
advertised and used as directed The
next is TO use kerosene emulsion to
what was advised 10 clean the sty with.
and apply with broom orbrush to all
parts of the body.

WHEN PEGGY GOES TO MARKET

~ hen Peggy takes her basket Up
And of to market goes.
~ stupefed with wonder at
How very much she knows
she makes her way between the stall
And with judicial air
Decides that this is $50 and So
And that is pretty fair"
she knows if fish are fresh or not,
And, wise as any OWL
She differentiates between
A chicken and fowl,
She thumbs the breastbone of the one
And pulls the others legs;
She scuints her pretty little eyes
10 test the new-laid eggs.
The Vegetables must be just right,
For with critics eye
She scans them, not inclined to pass
Their imperfections by.
She calls the market folks by name;
All, what lot she knows,
When Peggy takes her basket up
And off to market goes.
W men Peggy does the marketing
My heart with pride she fills;
a go along, useless thing,
Except to pay the bills.

DEMOCRATIC DOCTRINE.


Democratic leaders of the House of
Representatives have formulated a Sc
ries of resolutions which give terse
expression of Democratic doctrine on
the question of expansion.
1t is quite probable that this express
sion will be accepted by the Democrat
ic party as the best presentation of
Democratic thought and that the issue
against imperialism will be joined on
it.
Condensing these resolutions, they
may be given as follows:
''rhe independence OF the Philippine
republic"
Home rule under American counsel
and protection
mo slavery or polygamy, as guaran-
teed by Mckinley in the Sulu islands,
with pensions to Moslem despots.
NAVAL and coaling stations to be
ceded TO the United States.
THE Filipino republic to repay to
the United States the twenty millions
we paid Spain under the Paris treaty
These propositions contain in nut
shell the broad Americanism which
should characterize all expressions of
opinion concerning the question of ex-
pansion.
There is no imitation OF British i'm
perialism, no greed for territorial en-
largement at the expense of justice and
no antagonism to the doctrines laid
down in the declaration of indepen-
dence.
This expression of opinion follows
the teachings of Washington and Jetfer-
son. is opposed to Mckinley and his
base imitation of European methods
and furnishes common ground upon
which all men who love liberty and
desire justice can stand in the cam
paign of 19O0-Chicago Democrat.

How to Fumigate a Poultry Hor

How to Fumigate Poultry House.
The poultry-keeper who whitewashes
his henhouse four times a year need
have no fear of it becoming infested
with insect yermin, nor will it be neces-
sary for him to fumigate it, as there
will be no object in doing so. since there
will be no insect life to destroy. But
the owner of poultry house that needs
fumigation should set about it in the
following way: Remove all nests,
perches and everything that is portable.
Put pound of sulphur in an iron pan
with some burning Goals, in the midGle
of the house. Then close up the doors
windows and all other openings, ana
let them remain so for two or three
hours. Afterward paint the roosts and
nest boxes thoroughly with coal tar, and
whitewash the house both inside and
out with lime. A spraying pump is
very useful to get the limewash into
the crevfces in the roostS and walls, and
it is beneficial to add some carbolic acid
to the limewash. Once a house is thor
oughly freed from vermin it is easy to
keep it so by attending TO It regularly
and taking the precautionary measure
of frequent limewashing. Kansas

Concerning Currency.

Let the Republicans in Congress do
most Of the talking. Democratic mem
bers can place themselves on record,
but they can't change the vote, and il
the Republicans are let alone they will
get into a first-class row among them
selves.
In addition to a Republican fight in
Congress the Republican newspapers
will have combat and out Of it all will
come light and assistance for Democ.
racy. Already has the New York Sun
thrown it's hat in the ring and asked
Republican currency tinkers TO step on
the tail of its coat. And yet the Sun is
a gold advocating journal and an organ
of the administration. The Sun over
hauls Congressman Overstreet for ig-
norance on the subject of money. Over
street made the report of the commit
tee which produced the currency bill at
Atlantic City and opened the discussion
Of the subject in the House. Mr.. Over
street said that the Secretary of the
Treasury, 'by a single order directing
the use Of silver in the discharge of our
obligations. may completely destroy the
parity and shift the standard TO the
metal so used"
This is sheer nonsense says the
sun. THE Secretary Of the Treasury
has no more power to use the metal
silver in the discharge of our obliga-
tons than he has to use the metal gold.
He can use only gold coin Or silver coin.
Nothing but unlimited free sill
yer coinage can reduce the value of the
silver dollars 10 their Falue as metal.
and Mr.. Overstreet betrays on the sub
iect an ignorance Of fact and Of law,
which in a leader in Congress is ludi
crous, not to say disgraceful.'

lair. Let them continue to hold the

Exadinr the Trust Law.

When the Addystone case was de-
cided by the Supreme Court Of the UNI
ted States it was believed that g severe
blow had been given to the trusts. 1t
now develops that the trusts have de-
vised method Of evading the law.
That the sherman antitrust law af-
fects commerce has been amply demon
strated and the Supreme Court rule
cannot safely be deGed but 1t can be
evaded This fact has been taken adj
vantage of by the Tobacco Trust. which
proposes to go out OF interstate bust
ness, but to continue to do business just
the same. If jobbers in tobacco want
to deal in the Continental brands of
tobacco at the old IA ties, they can do so,
although the trust announces that it
has gone out Of interstate business. A
circular announcing this decision has
been sent out by the trust, but the same
mail brought with it circular from an
agent who offers to FIJI the orders at
the usual rates.
This circular adds that in order to OBJ
tain the needed supply it will be neces-

its headquarters in New York. So has
the agent. The trust turns its whole
product over to the agent, that is to say,
should the trust be asked it will tell you
it does no business outside Of the State;
that it sells its whole product in the
State Of New York. and IS therefore
not amenable to the interstate COM
merce laws and regulations and Incl
dentally that the decision in the Addy
stone case does not concern it in the
least, as it does no business outside of
New York State.
Certainly this is an ingenious scheme.
but it remains to be seen whether it VII
