Josephine County Gives Mckinley About
200 Majority. = Jackson County
Goes Republican.

Returns so far received indicate that
Mckinley has carried the election by a
much larger majority than in 'a6, in
creasing bis electoral plurality by per-
haps 20 electoral votes, besides receiving
greatly increased popular majorities
The returns shoE largely increased re-
publican gains in nearly every portion
Of the country.
The first reports, which came from
New York and Chicago, we're hopeful TO
the democrats as Bryan was leading in
the count in those cities. II became
apparent very soon, however, that his
lead was not sufficient to enable him to
overcome the certain majority which
Mckinley would receive in New York
and Illinois outside their large cities.
The complete returns give Mckinley a
small majority in the city Of Chicago and
Bryan a similar majority in New York
City. Both these states 20 for Mckinley
by perhaps 100000. Ohio gives Nc
Kinley about 5000. Indiana is close,
probably 5000 for Mckinley. Michigan
gives Mckinley 10000, New Jersey 75,
900, Kansas, 1900. Nebraska, Wyom-
ing and Washington are close, the re-
turns strongly indicating Mckinley
pluralities. Missouri is close state,
but PROBABLY goes for Bryan. Kentucky
is uncertain. Mckinley carries Mary
land and West Virginia. Bryan carries
Nevada by 800 and Colorado by perhaps
5000. California Is republican. Ore
gon's republican majority will probably
reach 10000.

The Germans are accused Of carrying
on their warfare in China IN barbarous
manner giving no quarter, maltreating
in most brutal manner those who fall
into their hands and sabering them to
save ammunition. In this they are said
to be only obeying orders, and that such
action Is the official course pursued. 1t
is very possible that only garbled reports
have reached Us and that when the facts
are more fully known the German army
may appear in far less scandalous
light. II the facts as reported should
prove true, the nations should lose no
time in constraining that nation to con-
fine itself strictly to civilized warfare.
It is no excuse that those opposed to
them use brutal methods. A civilized
nation is supposSd 70 be above degrading
itself to barbarian levels even when 1t

nearly TO the top of the vat at the end.
The handles are six inches long, three

tened on the sides. Old wagon tires are
used TO good advantage. The vat is
used at end of sled the same as the
barrel is generally used. Two or
three armfus of wood will be all that
is needed to scald six or eight hogs. A
trench Is dug is inches wide and ~
inches deep under the vat the entire
length. An elbow and joint OF stove
pipe are used az the end of the trench
to carry the smoke and produce a
draught. There are four hooks, two on

are used TO turn and lift the hogs out
of the vat by hooking one end of each
chain TO the hooks on the side where

The average value OF cows on the
Brighton (Mass.) market OF late has
averaged about $40; a good-sized herd,
say 30 head, would be valued at $1,000
at the above rate. For $1,000, about 800
good, scryiceable ewes for breeding hot
house lambs can be bought. Cow sta
bles are just the thing for sheep, of
course with partitions, etc, removed.
The food that will keep one COW will
keep ten sheep, SO the expense of keep
ing 80 COWS and 800 sheep is about
equal. At a moderate estimate the
lamb and wool of each eve will bring
SIS, or $50 for 10 ewes. This is far bet
ter than the returns from the average

VAUDEVILLE vENTRILoQUISM.
An OId-Time Specially That IL said
10 lie About Played Out-A
Delusion.

'Nentriloquism as a vaudeville spe-
cialty is about played out" said a yeter-
an Snowman, recently. OF course We
know nowadays that there is no such
thing as throwing the voice. and that
it is simply an illusion in which the eye
plays a bigger part than the ear. For
instance, man is seated on the stage
with a mechanical dummy on his knee.
and you hear a voice. The mans face Is
stiff and the jaws of the dummy are
wagging- naturally you jump at the
conclusion that the voice comes from
the doll. If you were right beside them
you'd know better, but you're too far
away to exactly locate the sound.
That's the principle of the whole thing,
but in the old days the voice-throwiug
theory was generally accepted.

POULTRY HOUSE FLOOR
Gravel and Litter ON Top Of
This, IL the Hest.

One of the NEST important things
about a henhouse is the floor, and all
things beingconsidered, TO mother earth
lection. Some people tell us il is ma
lures floor" However, as we all
know, natures floor" is n clean floor,
as fowls when wild in their native
land roam far and wide, and the
ground over which they go (nature's
fioor) does not become soiled and
filthy, as an earth floor Ga thousand
is bound TO become, unless great
amount of unnecessary hard work is
given il. OF course IL can be kept rea-
sonably clean by taking out four
inches or more OF the dirt once or
twice a month, and replacing with
new: but as the droppings cannot be
removed without so doing we surmise
they will not be removed as often as
they ought. writes Il. Il. Banks, in the
Poultry Advocate.
II is said an earth floor furnishes n
dust bath, and that the grain can be
scattered on the ground, thus giving
the fowls the much needed exercise.
Just think of i'll A mixture of dust
bath, feed, litter and droppings, and
we might as well say disease. A nice
''mess," is it not? This is not all; an
earth floor is conductor of moisture
and will draw moisture from the out
side ground, thus making it more or
less damp.
The best and the nearest to a natu-
raj floor is board floor, covered with
sand or fine gravel and litter on top
of this. Having the dust bath in a
shallow box by itself, this kind OF a
floor can be easily kept clean, and the
grain can be scattered in the clean lit
ter, thus giving the fowls exercise just
the same, besides adding a great deal
more TO their health and comfort than
n filthy piece of earth A cement
floor, although great improvement
over mother earth, is not just the
thing, as il is conductor of both cold
and moisture and is much colder and
damper than wood, which is non
ductor of cold and moisture; there
fore a good, tight board floor is the
ideal floor.
