A SIMPLE TROUGH.

One You Can Make Yourself, and II
VIII Do For Water or Food.
1 have a feed trough which l made
myself out of piece of galvanized
iron. 1t is three and one-half feet
long. To make it, get two pieces of
wood and shape them to fit the inside
of the trough for the ends as shown in
the diagram. Nail well with lath nails.
If you want one for water, make it
shorter and before putting the end
pieces on paint a piece of cloth and
place between the end pieces and the
trough. Then after you have your end
pieces on, get piece Of lath just long
enough to fit between the ends and nail
it lengthwise just above the level Of
the trough. This will keep the chick

New Method Of preserving Eer..


A system now adopted in Italy is to
get rid of the shell and pack the interi-
or of the egg, white and yolk together,
In alright vessels or drums containing
each 1000 eggs. Great care is taken to
insure the eggs being fresh and to ex-
clude the air, as one bad egg spoils all
the remainder and renders the consign-
ment unstable. The new system has
the advantage of removing the risk of
breakage and is also preferred by the
pastry cooks, for whose use they are
intended. At present these eggs are
sent in the first instance to egg mer-
chants, who resell them, but attention
is now being directed to the advantages
of sending them direct to the buyer
and thus dispensing with the services
of the middleman.

Several methods of preserving the
natural color Of pressed flowers have
been suggested, but the best. it is said,
Is that used in the New York botan-
ical garden. After the specimens
have been under pressure for a day or
two they are laid in papers heated in
the sun, and this is repeated until the
drying is completed. This, it is said,
preserves the colors perfectly.

If one wishes to grow a nice ever
green hedge-of red cedar, for instance
such hedge should be started with
small trees which are low and bushy.
1t is the thickness of the base Of a
hedge which gives it its chief beauty
and value, and this growth cannot be
produced upon trees which are spindly
in habit when set out. Further, 1t is
the careful and persistent pruning and
trimming of the hedge when young
which determines what it shall be later
on.

WILL PROTECT CHILDREN.


We believe in the rigid enforcement Of
the child labor legislation. The open and
avowed failure of Republican officials to
execute these salutary laws is notorious.
These laws were enacted by Democratic
legislatures for the benefit of the children
OF the State and should be efficiently en-
forced.
FOR MORE PUBLIC SCHOOLS
A thorough and efficient system of free
public schools should be in obedience to the
mandate of the constitution provided for
all the children of the State of school age
SO that every child may attend school the
whole Of every school day. This is pri-
mary obligation resting upon the State.
An effective kindergarten system should be
established for the benefit of the younger
children of the State.
SYMPATHY FOR BOERs.
We extend our sympathy to the band of
gallant men struggling heroically in South
Africa for the inestimable privilege of being
free and independent.
LET PEOPLE ELECT SENATORS.
We advocate the election of United
States Senators directly by the people. We
charge that the Republican administration
of this State has been reckless and i'm
provident in the expenditure of public
moneys.
PROSPERITY DUE TO DEMOCRATS.
The prosperous condition of the State
treasury is due entirely to the corporation
tax laws, initiated and passed during
Democratic administrations The expenses
of the State government, not including
payments on the public debt have increased
from 81, 735, 917.27 for the year ending
October 81, 1893, the last year of Demo
cratic control, to So, 701, 226. 81 for the year
ending October 81, 1900, being an increase
of over So per cent.
DEMAND ECONOMY.
We demand return to the time honored
Democratic principle of economy in State
expenditures. We insist that all revenues
not absolutely required for an economic
administration of our affairs should be APP
piled to a reduction of the State taxes now
levied for school purposes; such reduction
be permanent and not simply spasmodic
and in gubernatorial years.
ANOTHER REPUBLICAN FAILURE.
The incompetency of the Republican adj
ministration is further shown by the fact
that the effort to amend the constitution of
the State has been rendered fruitless by
their failure to advertise properly the
amendment suggested by the legislature,
thus preventing for years popular vote on
amendments to the organic law.
In this, as in other matters, the consti-
tuition, its letter and spirit, has been a
sealed book to the Republican party.
PLEDGES TO THE PEOPLE.
In conclusion we pledge ourselves and
our representatives to rigid economy in
public expenditures, to fair administration
Of government with equal rights to all and
privileges to none, and to the selection of
competent and faithful public servants who
shall obey the voice of the people and not
the orders of policical machine.
To the support of these principles of
State and local government we invite the
aid and suffrage of the people of the whole
Ckafo
