LESSONS OF THE PANIC.

There are few things that have been
eXempllhed by the late Wall street
panic that Is Of enormous importance
to the whole people and the most inn
portant object lesson Is the vast
power Of money. When the panic
was at its height and money was loan
ing for GO per cent, few bankers
met and agreed to loan $lG,OOO,OO0 at
per cent, and thus aid the recovery
of the market. The banks composing
trust having command Of hundreds of
the clearing house are a kind Of money
millions Of dollars and II 1t suited the
purpose Of the managers they can
make or mar the market for stocks
and bring on or retard panic at any
time, as nearly all the transactions on
Wall street are conducted on borrowed
capital and mostly on call loans which
can be called or foreclosed at any time
by simply giving few hours notice,
This power has been used both ways
and will again when 1t suits the money
trust to do so,
II will be remembered that the great
panic at the beginning of the second
Cleveland administration was precipi-
tated by the banks to force Congress
to pass the repeal Of the silver coinage
act, 1t Is probable that the money
trust did not intend that panic to
be so disastrous, as it imperiled their
own stability and led to the downfall
of some OF their own associates
There is, however, prospect that
these princes Of finance may disagree
over the division Of the spoils, won
from the people by the trust combina-
tions, and although this would prob
ably preclpitate a panic which would
involve the whole country, 1t may be
made to bring good out Of evil by
opening the eyes Of the people to the
causes that allow such an abnormal
condition of affairs 1t may thus lead
to national and state legislation that
will curb the trusts and by the repeal
Of the protective tariff and other laws
that now allow monopoly and with
honest servants to execute the laws,
and not as is now DONE leaving to
the banks the enormous sums without
interest, at present amounting to over
ninety millions of dollars, reform
may be inaugurated that will allow
every citizen an equal show in his or.
forts for success in life.
As an instance that all Is not love
" among the powers that rule in the
financial world the financial cores
pondent of the Chicago Chronicle
says. Morgan's ambition was held re-
sponsible for the panic. 1t was charg-
ed that he had tried to hog" the rail
road situation in the north and middle
west, and ride rough-shod over such
long established Mngs In the railroad

I will have a safe voyage" We do
think, however, that a good many
farmers live near enough to good
broier markets to make the raising
of brollers profitable.
No intelligent poultry raiser would
think OF advising new man In the
business what breed to raise, as much
depends on the idea in the mind OF the
would-be poultry raiser, Some poul-
trymen succeed best with one variety
and some with another, Just the
reason for this 10 hard TO give II may
be because some men understand the
science of feeding better than Others
and because some breeds VIII better
stand bad feeding than others inc
scientific feeder takes breed OF del
icate physique and feeds 1t as 1t should
be fed. He gets good results ana IN
creases his bank account, lie recon-
mends the breed TO the first novice
that comes along, The novice taxes
the breed and feeds II without reason
or sense In the feeding. He gets more
dead fowls than profitable results, and
gives up the breed in disgust lie
then takes another breed whose dlges-
ton can handle anything, lie feeds
It In a way that would ruin an ordi-
nary breed, but does not succeed In
running It, He succeeds In spite OF
himself, but not 80 well as the other
man succeeded with the more delicate
breed But he has formed an opinion
that cannot be shaken, and that opin-
lon is In favor Of the poorer breed,
which is tho best breed for him.

HAMMER AND ANVIL,

Next to a third term, 1t would suit
the present administration to be sue
ceeded by Hanna, then after eight
years Of Hanna--well what matters?
II Democratic administration had
been in power when the wall street
panic occurred, what lesson the Re.
publican newspapers would have
drawn from It!
The extravaganza of Republican con-
crosses are proverblal, the amount ap-
propriated for the fiscal year begin
ming July lst has just been compended
and the total sum is $3.50 33S,575, No
wonder the war taxes could only be
in small measure repealed,
Senator Frey has announced that he
will reintroduce the ship subsidy bill
directly the 57th Congress meets. A
day or two after this announcement
Senator Hanna was in Philadelphia
holding conference with the Penn
sylyania railroad officials and other
ship owners, probably arranging how
much bonus they will contribute to the
Republican campaign fund If the bill
Is passed,
Mr. Schwab, the president OF the
steel trust, has been making speech
to a graduating class in New York, in
1t he said; Boys should start In
business early and should place no de-
pendence upon influence" Now this
would have been good advice before
this age Of vast combinations and
trusts, but Mr.. SChwab should know
that boy or man at this time has but
small chance of employment at any
work that is considered desirable un-
less he has some influence back OF him.
Mr.. Schwab and his partner, Mr.. Car
negie, made their start in life in more
propItious times and even they may
have had some influences that advanc-
ed their own strenuous efforts and they
by luck or sharp wits fell into bust
ness that was protected by tariff that
gave vast advantage to few sharp
men.
1t Is rather late in the day but bet
ter late than never for the president
to talk about saving the constitution
as he did at San Jose. In his speech
there he said: ITO us, my fellow citi-
zens, young and old, the preservation
of that constitution is committed 1t
is sacred instrument, and is sacred
trust given to us to see to 1t that 1t is
preserved in all its virtue and vigor,
to be passed along to the generations
vet to come. Glorious constitution,
glorious union, glorious flag Seventy
five millions Of people stand together
as they never before stood to defend
them ALL" These be fine words, my
masters, glorious words, but as a
Judge of the supreme court said of
President Mckinley when he had ut
tered his benevolent assimilation
speech, It Is not by what the president
says that we must Judge him, but by
his acts.

Prof. G. l.. Mckay thus summarizes
some experiments made at the Iowa
Agricultural College in the caring OF
cheese;
On the Goth OF August, 1898, expert
ments were commenced with view OF
determining the feasibility OF central
curing rooms, and the effects of cli-
matte conditions on the curing OF
cheese.
Cheese made at Iowa College factory
were shipped by express, fresh from
the press, to one Of the best factories
In Canada to be cured We also sent
some to Guelph Ontario Dairy School
to be cured. Cheese made at Black
Creek factory and at Guelph Dairy
School were sent here, fresh from the
press, to be cured Shipping the
cheese $50 miles by express during the
heat OF summer did not affect the
flavor.
Cheese cured in musty ice box at
temperature of 55 degrees compared
luNOIdDly WIN NllNNop NbiNh 49, 'N''
ventilated room at moderately low
temperature during the month OF Oc-
tober. Cheese cured In ice box scored
2% points higher on favor and " a
point higher on texture.
Cheese can be exposed the first five
days to a temperature as high as 80
degrees without injurlng Its flavor, Il
sufficient acid has been developed to
make a flrm-bodied cheese and 1t is
cured at 60 degrees afterwards.
Cheese cured at temperature OF
60 degrees, with Il high per cent of
moisture, scored higher than cheese
cured at temperature above 65 de-
grees.
Adding artificial moisture through
pine shavlngs in box worked very
satisfactorily in the curing room, and
left no bad odors.
Fumigating with formaldehyde gas,
to destroy the mould-producing bac-
teria, gave good results.

The Arc OF EGGS.

The age of eggs may be approXi-
mately judged by taking advantage Of
the fact that as they grow old their
density decreases through evaporation
Of moisture. According to Siebel a
new-laid egg placed in a vessel Of brine
made in the proportion Of two ounces
of salt to one pint of water, will at
once sink to the bottom. An egg one
day old will sink below the surface,
but not to the bottom, while one three
days old will swim just immersed in
the liquid. II more than three days old
the egg will float on the surface the
amount OF shell exposed being in
creased with age. If two weeks old
only a little of the shell will dip In
the liquid.

Hsnoo--sevsrAI states Attest Justice
Of Dangerous to oppose It.

Jefferson said, 81 am not amongst
those who fear the peole," but how
different Is the case with the modern
republican party, The effort to give
the people u direct vote on important
laws that are to govern them has been
endorsed by the Fusionists In some
states and will be forced as an issue
In Others and possibly be adopted as n
national remedy as u check on much
evil legislation that we are now suffer-
ing from,
First attempts at radical changes In
the machinery OF government always
meet with obstacles, especially when
favored corporations with vast means
of corruption, such as railroads, are
likely to have some Of their special
privileges curtalled or abolished, 1t Is
no wonder therefore, that in one Of
the first states to adopt the re-
form II should meet with a rebuff at
the hands Of u republican court and
legislature,
South Dakotas initiative and refer
endum, which was embodied In the
state constitution two or three years
ago says the Springfield Republican,
is thought to have been wrecked by n
recent decision of the state supreme
court, The referendum amendment
limited the absolute power OF the leg
islature to such special cases of legis-
latlon as We're mentioned in the con-
stitution Itself, Now the constitution
also provides, somewhat loosely, that
whenever the legislature declares GER
tain bills to be emergency measures,
these emergency measures may be-
come laws without being brought
within the scope Of the referendum
clauses Of the constitution, A test case
was made up by the foes of the refer
endum In passing an act legislatng
some fusionsts out of Office the act
being pronounced an emergency meas
ure by the legislature, The South Da-
kota court decides that 1t Is impos-

legislature In making any bill an
emergency measure, and that any law
which emanates from that body thus
labeled cannot be referred to the peo-
pie, 1t also decided that no act which
the legislature chooses to pronounce
necessary for the protection OF the
public peace health, safety or sup
port Of the state government and Its
existing institutions, can be referred
to the people. The right Of initiation
by the people in legislation was not
passed upon by the court, but that re-
mains Of little service II the referen-
dun has been emasculated 1t Is evil
dent that any legislation under that
decision can choke off final reference
Of its work to the popular vote by
simple majority declaration. The
friends Of the referendum declare that
while the first attempt to substitute
direct legislation for the representa-
tive system has apparently failed the
question will be a live issue, If not the
controlling one, in the next state cleo
ton.

The era Of the rocking chair mado
out of barrel is happily over, but
many pieces OF furniture, which are
the outgrowth Of special needs are
often satisfactorily developed from
small beginnings. A set of book
shelves, for example, with a drawer at
the bottom, was recently made by
clever woman from an old fashioned
walnut dresser The marble top sho
had removed, and the fine oval top
swing glass was taken out of its
frame to serve another purpose.
Shelves were fitted In the drawer slides
Of the upper three drawers, the wood
of these being utilized in the process.
A partition was fitted up from the bot

Taken in the morning fruit is as

The newly awakened function finds in

energies, and tissues Of the stomach

ment which will sustain those energies

1t is an excellent plan with this object
in view, to add little bread to tho
fruit eaten. While admitting It's pos

however, and while also agreeing with
those who maintain that In summer
when the body is at all events, In
many cases, less actively employed
than usually--meat may be less, and
fruit and vegetables more freely used
as a food, we are not prepared to al"

ANTITRUST LEGISLATION.

The need of tarlff reform Ia 30
pressing In view Of the domination OF
the trusts that It may be we'll, instead
OF waiting for the control Of the gov
ernment to pass into the hands Of the
Democrats to adopt the advice OF the
Washington Post, which says
The Republicans took hand In the
Democratic tariff revision OF 1894 a
useful, helping hand going so far as
to dictate entire schedules, Let the
Democrats reclprocrate that favor in
the next session Of Congress, Tho
Democrats were divided on tariff re-
vision in 1894, To-day there IL d.
vision on that question In the Repub-
lIcan party The movement for anti
trust legislation will divide the Re-
publican party into two factions, as
hostile as were the Cleveland and an
ti-Cleveland factions seven years ago
Why should not Democrats who want
Sensible reform OF the tariff" follow
the example Of those Republicans who
aided German in his anti-Cleyeland
fight? This suggestion seems to US to
open up great possibilities Of early and
wholesome reform, Its adoption by
the Democrats would be far more like
ly to expedite than retard their ac-
quisitlon Of full control Of the govern
ment,
The Post is an advocate Of protect
tlon and yet sees that the tariff must
be revised so what 1t means by Sen
sible reform" is rather an uncertain
quantity, but II faction Of the Re-
publicans are really in earnest In
pushing antitrust legislation, though
1t Is very doubtful II enough Of them

In egg production, Denmark is forg>
ing to the fore, her exports having
doubled In the last five years. This
has largely been brought about
through the combination Of the farm
ers into syndicates, The farmers form
local associations, the officers of which
in turn elect central officers to con-
troll the management Of the whole cor
poration. Each egg, as 1t is gathered
is stamped with the mark Of the local
association and the number Of the In

marked are taken to the central point

Winter eggs can hardly be consid-
cred a spring subject, yet this is the
time Of year when we must be laying
the foundation for tho winter layer
and her eggs,
At this time Of the year tho early
chicks are arriving, and 1t Is from
these chicks we must have the winter
layers. 1t is therefore necessary that
they be pushed along as rapidly as
possible. To do this partial meat
diet must be given.
A test was recently made at the
Geneva, New York, station, with hens,
ducks and chickens, to ascertain the
relative value Of vegetable and animal
food. The results were very striking,
and were entirely in favor of animal
food forming a part of the ration.
Every poultry raiser has a hobby
in feeding, which is founded on some
successful experience. It is astonish-
Ing to notice to what an extent these
hobbies vary. One man believes that
feeding a soft feed once day is a
sure prevention against indigestion,
while another is equally sure that a
soft feed Is unnatural and should
never be given.
Broilers are profitable when prop
erly raised and properly sold. Every
farmer that is advantageously situated
for the raising of broilers should make
a trial Of IT, IL he has liking for that

be ascertained definitely without q
trial. The question is often asked,

broilers?" OF course 1t is impossible
to give an answer OF any value. As
